When Ji Yijun saw Morey, he was wearing a white coat commonly seen in laboratories, with a chemistry book full of reaction formulas spread out in front of him. He was holding a flask in his left hand and a glass dropper in his right hand, dripping an unknown light red liquid into the flask.
If Ye Zi hadn't told him about Morey's background, he would have thought that the person standing in front of him was an international student, and he would never have imagined that the other person was a native of this world.
Morey was so focused on watching the dosage change on the dropper that he didn't even look up to see them. Only after he had added the three reagents and the flask made a loud noise did he look up and say to Wu Jingrong, "I added the magic enhancement potion and the magic suppression potion to the same experiment, and it really produced different results. I believe that the reason for the deviation in the reaction formula is the interference of magic energy. If this is the case, as long as we keep experimenting, we will eventually be able to correct these magical formulas one by one."
Wu Jingrong exclaimed: "Mr. Morey, this is a great progress. They certainly didn't expect you to produce results so quickly. You learn so fast."
"I have done some research on ancient magic books. If it were my fellow apprentices, they probably wouldn't have achieved any results in half a year." Morey pointed to a pile of books on his desk and said, "These works and this knowledge are truly amazing. I never thought that the laws of all things in the world could be summarized and expressed so concisely. I pay tribute to these sages in my heart every day. And I hope to learn their wisdom as quickly as possible."
Hearing their conversation, Ji Yijun asked in surprise: "Has our chemical formula changed?"
"Humph, you are really slow to realize it." Wu Jingrong replied, "Many chemical reactions cannot be reproduced in this world. Of course, there are also some that have not changed much."
Ji Yijun patted his belly and said, "Aren't chemical reactions also happening all the time in our bodies?"
Wu Jingrong nodded and said, "Luckily, the chemical reactions in our bodies don't seem to have changed much, or they have miraculously adapted to this world. At least we haven't had any problems so far. But industrial production has problems, for example, they couldn't produce sodium carbonate at first. The entire scientific team went out and used all the test equipment to do experiments day and night for a whole month before they finally succeeded."
"It's not a problem to find the reaction rules again." Morey said confidently: "Your most valuable asset is your methodology. Your experimental methods and way of thinking are eye-opening to me. With these, plus the accumulation and inheritance of our alchemists over the years, the rest is just a matter of time."
At this time, Ye Zi interrupted Morey's discussion anxiously and said, "Mr. Morey, there is an urgent matter now. A young man from your area is dying. The blood we gave him caused a strong hemolytic reaction. Well, to put it simply, the blood in his body was destroyed by the blood transfused in. I remember you mentioned something about blood power. Does this have anything to do with it?"
"Where did the locals come from?" Morey frowned.
"They are residents of Floro Town." Ye Zi said.
"Is it the small town next to the school? What does this person do?" Morey asked again.
Ye Zi was a little confused. She didn't understand what Morey meant, so she could only answer, "He's just an ordinary young man who got hurt because of a conflict with our people. I want to ask if you have any blood potions that can help him overcome this reaction? I heard that many of the alchemists' potions have incredible magical effects."
Morey's expression became strange. He looked at Ye Zi's face carefully, studied her expression, and asked in a surprised tone: "You came here to disturb my experiment and asked me to prepare the 'Blood Harmonizing Potion' just to save the life of a poor person in such a small town? Do you know how precious the 'Blood Harmonizing Potion' is? This is something that alchemists use to transform the blood of great nobles. With it, all kinds of magical blood power can be integrated into the human body without any obstacles."
"Anyway, there is such a medicine, right?" Ji Yijun said.
"Yes, there is this medicine in the package I carry with me. But I don't want to use it on a good-for-nothing poor man. Because he doesn't deserve it." Morey said expressionlessly.
"You, how can you say that?" Ye Zi was stunned. She had never seen such undisguised discrimination. "No matter how precious the medicine is, it is not as important as human life, right?"
Morey smiled helplessly. "A bottle of good quality 'Blood Harmonizing Potion' can be exchanged for at least fifty slaves at your disposal in the market. In the eyes of any warrior who wants to improve his bloodline power, the lives of ordinary poor people cannot be compared with it."
"After all, it's just money. If it's very expensive, we can buy it with gold coins." Ji Yijun took out three gold coins from his pocket, slapped them on the table, and said, "Is that enough? If not, there's more."
Morey shook his head in amusement and said, "If you weren't a foreign kid, I would think you were insulting me. Any noble who comes to buy the Blood-Harmonizing Potion will offer a price no less than five hundred golden axes. The Blood-Harmonizing Potion is not something that every alchemist can make. It not only involves the inheritance of the formula, but also rare drugs, and it also has very high requirements for the level of the alchemist. So far, I have only made two bottles of such potions. One was given to my teacher, and the other was secretly carried with me. With it, I can live a prosperous life anywhere."
"Five hundred gold coins? That's nothing. We dug it out from the underground palace..." Ye Zi stepped hard on Ji Yijun, making him choke back his words, and then asked Mo Lei: "If we give you five hundred gold coins, can you sell the potion to us?"
Morey still shook his head and said, "This is not just a matter of money. I told you, that person doesn't deserve it. Let me give you an analogy. If you were a chef, would you be willing to give a table of delicious food that you prepared at your peak level to a rat to eat?"
"How can you compare a young man to a mouse?" Ye Zi slapped the table and said angrily, "Aren't all people equal?"
Morey sneered: "People are equal? Who said this nonsense?"
He threw the book on the table, stood in front of Ye Zi, and asked loudly: "Are nobles and commoners equal? Are kings and beggars equal? Are the high-ranking magicians and the old farmers who work in the fields equal? People are not equal when they are born. Some are bathed in flowers and milk, and blessed by noble priests. Some struggle in cow dung and mud, and are looked down upon by market scoundrels. They are also not equal when they die. Some wear armor and swords and lie in immortal tombs, while others are wrapped in straw mats and rags and thrown in desolate ravines."
Morey became excited as he spoke. He pointed to his chest and said, "I, Morey Vargas, am an alchemy genius that only appears once in a century. It only took me a dozen years to surpass my teacher in many aspects. But because I was born into a small merchant family, I was always excluded by my fellow apprentices who were born into small noble families. In the end, I had to flee into the mountains and was caught by goblins. Equality? Sorry, I have never seen that thing in my life."
Ye Zi and Ji Yijun were stunned by his series of words. Ye Zi took back his hand that was slapping on the table and said awkwardly, "But the more this is the case, don't you think we should change this unfairness? For people like us, the concept of equality has been deeply rooted in people's minds."
Morey calmed down as well. He looked at him deeply and said, "Really? How are you equal to Principal Guo? As a member of the guard team, if there is danger, do you protect him or does he protect you? When encountering problems, do you listen to him or you? Besides, do you really think that poor man lying dying is equal to you? I have heard you call us natives "natives" more than once." Morey walked to the window of the laboratory, pointed at the playground and buildings outside and said, "I have not been here for long, but I have also discovered that although you say you are equal, there is still deep inequality in your bones."
Morey's remark left Ji Yijun and Ye Zi speechless. They wanted to refute, but they didn't know where to start.
At this time, Wu Jingrong, who had been silent, spoke up: "Ye Zi, I think Mr. Morey has his reasons. People have different values. In the eyes of researchers like us, a person's value is evaluated by his ability and talent. So Mr. Morey is more irreplaceable than some people."
Morey glanced at Wu Jingrong, smiled slightly and said, "I discovered this, so I like it here."
"However, Mr. Morey, you know that outsiders like us cannot do without the trade and help of the people around us. If a conflict breaks out because someone is killed, we won't be able to stay here. So this young man's life is also important and valuable to us at this time. And as one of us, since you like the environment here, shouldn't you work together to find a way to protect it?"
Morey pondered for a while and said, "Well, after all, you saved me and let me see this magical knowledge. I can help. But I have a condition."
"Please speak." Wu Jingrong and Ye Zi said at the same time.
Morey took out two crystal bottles as big as his little finger from his safe. One bottle contained a strange purple potion, and the other bottle contained some red blood. He said, "Blood potion is just a potion that allows a person to safely undergo blood transformation. It must be combined with a strong bloodline to stimulate the real bloodline power. If that kid uses potions just to replenish ordinary blood, it is really a waste. Here is a bottle of wyvern blood. I want to implant it into his blood, so that he will gain tremendous strength, strong recovery ability, and resistance to various toxins. Warcraft is already very rare in this era, and the value of this bottle of blood is also considerable."
"You were unwilling to give him the medicine just now, why are you willing to give him such a benefit now?" Ye Zi asked puzzled.
"Benefits... The price of the benefits is that he must become a test subject for my subsequent experiments in the next ten years."
"You...you want to do human experiments on him?" Morey's answer once again refreshed Ye Zi's three views.
"As a person with the bloodline of a wyvern who is immune to all poisons, there is no job more suitable for him than this." Morey replied calmly, "I saw it in one of your books... um, 'waste utilization'."
"Why don't you use this 'good thing' on yourself!" Ye Zi said angrily.
"Many Warcraft bloodlines will affect this place." Morey pointed to his head, "Magicians and alchemists need clear minds, and only bloodline warriors will pin their hopes on that kind of brutal power. In short, this is my final condition."
"We can't make decisions for him. What if he doesn't want to do it when the time comes?" Ji Yijun asked.
"As an ordinary person without power, why would he be unwilling? These two bottles of stuff are enough even for a count. If it were normal times, no matter how much he begged me, I would not let him use it. This is a power that can change a life, and can even be passed on to future generations. And many subsequent experiments will make him stronger and stronger."
Ji Yijun and Ye Zi hesitated for a while. Ji Yijun gritted his teeth and said, "Give it to him. If he doesn't agree to do the experiment for you later, I can do it myself."
Morey smiled and nodded at him, then put the two bottles in his pocket and walked to the door: "Let's go, I want to use the potion on him personally."
Ye Zi and the others followed him, and Wu Jingrong whispered in Ye Zi's ear: "You have to understand him. After all, he is not from our era."
Ye Zi stared at the back in front of him and asked in a low voice: "Even so, shouldn't he yearn for equality?"
