"Regarding the infusion experiment of the demon god's residue, it really has to be the Order to be able to show the greatest sincerity."

Rama sorted out the data at hand, looking satisfied.

After a long period of theory, Rama finally had the opportunity to experiment.

He didn't think of it himself.

The expected best teacher is Alice, followed by Albedo, but he even plans to learn from Klee.

Despite her young appearance, Klee's alchemy, at least the alchemy bomb, is still very commendable.

And the teacher that reality arranged for him was the Order.

It took some time to study the theory, and then Yingmei arranged for him to have the opportunity to get started with the experiment.

At Rama's request, the Abyss Mage brought in several hilichurl tribes.

From basic hilichurls to hilichurl thugs, shamans even have an ice hilichurl king.

It is clear that the Order is still peeking into the secrets of the snowy mountains.

The hilichurls have been roaming the land for thousands of years in the official description, with no history or civilization. Since the dark plague of 500 years ago, it has been widely distributed throughout the earth.

Rama had no intention of exploring the curse of the transformation of the Kanriya into hilichurls, which was too difficult for the Order to solve on its own.

Dainsleif even claims that no one knows the curse better than him, that it is an irreversible one-way ticket that can only be transformed from a human into a hilichurl.

Later, under the Chasm, the Order also tried to convert the hilichurls back to the Kanria - five hundred years have passed by this time, and are there really the same group of Kanria among the hilichurls?

How can a monster live so long?

Of course, this has nothing to do with Rama's research direction, but rather the "evolution" of the hilichurls.

From hilichurls, to hilichurl thugs, and finally the hilichurl king.

"Is there any progress?"

Yingmei played with the hair in her ear with one hand, and looked calmly at the hilichurl who was screaming in pain below.

Probably because there were only humanoid beings in the Order and not a single human, or because she wanted to see Rama's talents, she often came to pay attention to Rama's experimental progress.

"It's worked."

Rama smiled with excitement.

Collei and Tartaglia set the direction for the information, and the Order's handwriting was the key to determining that the technology could actually be put to use.

They give too much.

"Humans are also a naturally stronger living organism, and from childhood to adulthood, the body will naturally grow as nutrients are absorbed and digested."

"It's growth, just as the vast majority of hilichurls actually have the opportunity to grow into hilichurl thugs."

"And to go from hilichurl thugs to a life like hilichurl king, this can't be described in terms of growth, this should be evolution."

"But the hilichurls live in the form of tribes, and the current world is a human-dominated world after all, and they are burdened with the title of monsters, and they have to be wiped out from time to time."

Rama put it bluntly: "In this case, the resources that the hilichurl tribe can harvest are very limited. ”

"And monsters know one thing better than humans."

Yingmei listened attentively.

She's a good listener, and if you say she'll listen.

But in reality she didn't care about Rama, or even the plans of her subordinates.

Ying has her own plan, and only emptiness in the plan is indispensable.

"It is more important to have a strong individual than a strong collective." Rama looked at a hilichurl thug below, "They will give most of their resources to one of the collectives, and then help them grow faster, and then the powerful individuals will lead the tribe to hunt." ”

It's a virtuous circle.

But Teyvat is not a safe hunting ground.

Even slimes are not harmless worlds, and hilichurl hunting comes at a cost.

What's more, Teyvat's masters are demon gods and humans.

The regular eradication of human beings has made it even more difficult for these hilichurls to survive.

"However, loops are rarely built, and usually when a tribe poses a threat, a special adventurer will come and try to eliminate it, and if they can't succeed, the official violent organization will follow."

And then there was no then.

"According to the data obtained from the research, every hilichurl has a chance to grow into a life of the level of hilichurl thugs as long as they are provided with enough food supplies in the process of growing up."

"But the tribes that can feed the hilichurls tend to have shamans and the like."

Rama paused, his words a little strange: "To be able to do this, the wisdom of the hilichurls is actually enough. ”

The tribe's diaspora mode knows how to cultivate specially, and is also proficient in elemental power.

Shaman's skills are actually better than those of many characters.

Such a group of living beings finally got the evaluation of "no history and civilization".

Wisdom is enough to form a low-level civilization, but the seeds of civilization have never appeared, that is, they have been suppressed by external forces.

"If it's a normal situation, it should be a hilichurl thug from a certain tribe who has evolved into a hilichurl king by luck."

"With the hilichurl king as the core, the horde will conquer and annex the other hilichurl tribes, and then begin the process of snowballing."

However, no.

Hilichurls mostly chose to stay at a fixed location.

With its life level, it actually needs a larger hunting ground to provide food, not to mention that hilichurls rarely exist alone, they usually guard their tribe, carefully protecting their people.

That's what happens in the game.

If it has a little brother, the alert range can jump from the next step of the mountain to the mountain, and smash your defenseless master C to death with one punch.

But if there is no little brother, its warning range is ridiculously small.

Their wisdom reached a peak in the absence of the hilichurl king, and then when the "king" appeared, they lost their plan for their next move.

"If I were you, I would never continue researching." Ying whispered, "I used to think that you would only instigate conspiracy, but now, I believe that you are really a scholar. ”

"How?" Rama asked rhetorically.

"Studying the history of the hilichurls is of little use other than satisfying curiosity." Ying blinked, "You can study for something unimportant to this extent, at least in terms of curiosity, you must be a qualified scholar." ”

"But wisdom is the enemy of the god of wisdom, and the gods are still embarrassed by the unknown, so I should not study these things." Rama naturally added the second half of the sentence, "Let's get back to the point, I can help the hilichurl mob evolve." ”

It's actually quite interesting.

The fact that the Kanria were cursed to become hilichurls should not have been done by chance.

Rama always believed that a thing, anything that is not necessary, has a necessary purpose for the person who does it.

Can turning a group of ordinary people into hilichurls play any special role?

It's clear that it doesn't make sense.

Six of the seven gods have arrived in Kanria, and the Isle of Skye is in person, and they can directly destroy the kingdom and return all of them to the leylines and start the cycle again.

But in the end, the Isle of Skye came up with the so-called curse, insisting on turning some ordinary people into hilichurls, turning the upper echelons of Kanria into shell monsters and monsters such as mages and apostles of the current Order.

This kind of operation cannot be said to be a stroke of the snake, in fact, it is not much worse.

If it's a punishment, it's a bit pointless.

The point of discipline is to make the wrongdoer pay the price and to serve as a warning to other bystanders.

Regarding the former, death is the best price.

As for the latter, Kanria was destroyed because she came into contact with forbidden knowledge, but I am afraid that no one in the Seven Kingdoms knew what forbidden knowledge was, except for the later solstice.

If neither purpose is valid, then it can only be that the curse itself is valuable to Sky Island.

Rama glanced at Ying.

Presumably Ying must have noticed it.

Even though she didn't find out at the time, when she wanted to leave with Sora later, she and her brother were hung up and beaten by the maintainer.

But in the end, the other party chose to seal instead of killing directly.

It's really an enemy, and it's strange to be able to kill but not to kill.

Ying Mei must have discovered anomalies over the years, and she may even have some evidence.

Rama was curious, but he couldn't ask.

These things are about the twins, about Kanriya five hundred years ago, and Rama shouldn't have known.

"What about the probability of success?" Yingmei asked.

She knew Rama's true purpose.

Use the infusion experiment of the Demon God's residue to elevate the hilichurl mob to the level of the hilichurl king.

Accumulate enough experience in hilichurls and then apply this skill to the human body.

But it doesn't matter.

If the hilichurls were to succeed, the mages and apostles of the Order would have to be more adapted to this transformation than the human body.

If this technology can be applied to humans, the Order will only be more popular than them.

"There wasn't enough data to back it up, and the probabilities weren't evenly distributed." Rama recalled the experimental data slightly, "The hilichurls are very easy to handle, but the Demon God Residue has not been specially collected by the Order before. ”

Even this kind of transformation experiment is a talent.

Hilichurls can easily grow into hilichurl thugs when they secure supplies.

But the further hilichurl king, this is up to fate.

Some hilichurl thugs are completely unable to evolve, while others are quite easy.

The specific talent has not yet been analyzed, but the gifted hilichurl thugs can easily succeed, and the non-talented ones can also benefit from the transformation experiment, but the probability of success is really a little low.

"The essence of the transformation experiment is actually to use the strong vitality of certain life forms to strengthen the body of the weaker side."

"The Demon Gods are Teyvat's most perfect beings, and their remains and remnants of power, while dangerous, carry the qualities of the Demon Gods themselves."

"It's this insignificant trait, but it's capable of making a human or hilichurl make a leap in the life level."

This is the essence of evolution.

From young to young, this is growth.

From ordinary people who are completely unable to touch elemental power, to master elemental power, this is evolution.

"It's not so much about evolution, it's about changing my life form and starting to move closer to the lower level of the demon god."

Ying saw the essence of Rama's plan, "By constantly replenishing the factor of the demon god, and then moving closer to the non-human life form of the demon god." ”

"For your plan, it doesn't have to be a demon god, it can also be a deceptive flower, or even a life form like the hilichurl king, as long as you can collect their life qualities, it doesn't matter."

Evolve?

This is supposed to be "no longer human", Rama is trying to change the original attributes of a creature, change its race.

The Demon God is the best substitute for the upper position, but if there is no way to get the characteristics of the Demon God, then a life form such as a slime or a deceptive flower can also be used.

Human beings may not be suitable, and if they are not suitable for this level of transformation, they will die.

But there are always some people who can bear it and can get away with saving their lives.

"Teyvat can't drive elemental forces." Rama sighed, "I don't quite understand why, it is said that humans are the masters of this world, but if I go around the wilderness casually, I can find several monsters that can naturally drive elemental power. ”

To be reasonable, the human race, not to mention other places, should have a lot of face in Teyvat.

After all, in the records of the Sun and the Moon, Teyvat is the home of the dragon lizard, and the humans were created by the second master of the world.

With this background, in fact, human beings should not be too weak······· Isn't it true that the Demon God is the so-called [human] who created it?

The definition of a race is only a description of the recorder, and the human person recognized by the recorder of the sun and moon in the previous life may not be the human person who knows it.

Rama shook his head and dismissed the idea.

It doesn't matter, people still have to live in the present.

Ying listened quietly to Rama's description.

"Strange." She tilted her head, "I've seen such speeches, they are always resentful, they feel unfair because of their natural weakness. ”

"You don't think that's right?" Rama asked rhetorically.

"There really is no problem." Ying whispered, "My brother and I are travelers between worlds, and I have walked between worlds for five hundred years after coming to Teyvat five hundred years ago. ”

"My brother and I had a lot more of a long trip before Teyvat."

"Five hundred years is not a long time for me, but it is a dream that ordinary people can't reach."

How can it be fair?

"Just like the immortals of Liyue and ordinary people, their strength was determined at the time of their birth, and mortals will never be able to reach the power of immortals."

"That's not fair." Ying pursed her lips, "But that's not your attitude, Rama. ”

"You admit the species gap, and from the perspective of your research direction, you are committed to allowing humans to have the factor of demon gods, and thus transcend the limitations of humans themselves."

Rama spread his hands, "Otherwise? I can't just say that the potential of human beings is unlimited, and that human beings can catch up with life like demon gods······"

There are worldviews where human beings are truly unlimited.

But Teyvat is not.

Ying thought for a moment, and finally nodded: "You're right." ”
