Inside the British Royal Library.
Xu Cheng saw that there were a lot of royal families from the Middle Ages to modern times, as well as other treasures of pictures, words and paintings. He randomly picked up some books and flipped through them. Some of the books that cited classics were indeed authentic.
However, because there are too many books, it is difficult for him to specifically select the part of the story about the Duke.
While he was browsing aimlessly, not long after, the door was gently pushed open by William and closed.
"Please come with me." William said to Xu Cheng, and opened a secret room. After a mechanism was opened, a flame was lit in the dark cellar similar to an underground castle. There are books in it.
While leading Xu Cheng down, William opened these grids, took out some evidence and legends and said: "Here are some legends about that monster. I came here when I was a child, and I only thought it was a legend. Listen I didn’t take it seriously, and only realized later that all this seems to be a legend, but in fact it seems to have happened in history.”
Xu Cheng asked him: "How much do you know about that monster?"
William: "I haven't seen him, but from these books, I can at least understand that he is a terrible monster! If he is still alive, he may be more than two hundred years old. Doesn't this alone make him Are people scared?"
Xu Cheng didn't say anything: "You said you've read all the books here since you were young, so do you remember if there is any record about a certain chemical experiment?"
After thinking for a while, William nodded, continued down the stairs, walked directly to the bottom floor, found it from a hidden compartment and said, "This parchment scroll seems to have recorded the so-called research you mentioned."
Xu Cheng asked him directly: "What is recorded in it?"
William: "It says that the royal family did an experimental research in the early days. I wonder if that's what you want to know?"
Xu Cheng's eyes lit up: "Is it related to that monster?"
William nodded: "We will collect any record that mentions him, even if it is just written in one sentence."
Xu Cheng: "What's written in it? Also, how many years has this happened?"
William: "At the beginning of the 18th century, the royal family conducted a secret experiment, a very bold experiment, which recorded the names of the monsters, Capci and Edward."
Xu Cheng squinted his eyes, and hurriedly asked: "What kind of experiment is this experiment? Why was there him, and besides, why was there such a chemical and biological experiment in that period."
William sighed, pacing at the bottom of the corridor with a parchment, and said, "This may be traced back to a scandal in the royal family. In fact, we have no choice. The process from prosperity to decline is like an ugly history, but we must not forget that he lived in the past. Every generation of our princes/princes must understand this, and we must understand why the past dynasties failed. We must review and use history as a mirror .”
Xu Cheng was a little impatient: "You can answer me directly."
William: "In the 17th century, England entered a stage of industrial strength and was the initiator of industrial civilization in the world. Therefore, it is not surprising that some people would come up with biological research experiments in an age full of talents. At the beginning of the 18th century, after the king defeated the unstoppable After the first Napoleon, England officially entered its full heyday, that is, it replaced the Spanish Empire 2.0 Dynasty, but, just like those of you in China who want to become an emperor through the ages, the king also wants to delay his life and continue to rule Conquering the world, so they did an inhuman experiment."
William looked at the records on the parchment scroll, and said: "At that time, the technology was completely unqualified, and even many sophisticated experimental equipment were not safe. More often than not, a single experiment would kill many people. Quack doctors At that time, some stupid practices emerged in an endless stream. Some scholars did many experiments on human interbreeding/crossbreeding, but to no avail. In order to protect themselves, the doctors turned to another research, which was to create a very elite talent for the empire. Some scholars shouted that it should be cultivated with close bloodlines.”
Xu Cheng was surprised: "Cultivated by close relatives?"
William nodded: "Inbreeding, there is a high probability that a fool will be born within three generations, but there is also a certain probability that a genius will be born. This proposition is not absolute. In the case of close relatives getting married, both parties inherit the same excellent gene from their common ancestor. The chances of marriage will be greatly increased, and both parties are likely to be carriers of the same excellent gene. In this way, the chances of their children having excellent talents will be greatly increased, which is often several times or dozens of times higher than that of non-consanguineous marriages. , or even hundreds of times. And our ancestor king at that time wanted a better heir than him, so that the empire would not follow the path of Spain, so some people established the rule of inbreeding among royal family members; in addition, those Scholars conducted experiments on members of their close relatives, and at that time, this Copaqi Edward became one of the test subjects."
"At that time, under the terrible private life of the royal family, there were countless illegitimate children, but the royal family could not expose such people, and they were afraid that they would become time bombs for the royal family. Therefore, the king granted these scholars and used the knowledge of these royal family members. The wind/flow products were tested."
Xu Cheng's pupils shrank slightly.
Therefore, the Duke was very lucky to be the one with a one in a billion success rate!
But on the other hand, he is actually a poor man!
"In these stories, what else do you know?" Xu Cheng asked again.
William replied very cooperatively: "It is said that he has a habit of needing the blood of prostitutes. Most of the vampire legends passed down from the Middle Ages are also based on him. He is not a ghost. It's just that the royal family spread these rumors in order to deal with him. Legend has it that generations of Europeans hated such a monster and beat him to death, but he really needs to drink blood, and according to records, anyone who is bitten by him will die!"
Xu Cheng understands that this may have something to do with the blood poison of the Duke. Not to mention normal people, even he, as an upgraded and powerful genetic person, will be eroded and uncomfortable by the blood poison. The contamination of those ordinary people is no less than being injected with the venom of a large area of cobras. Almost, it is estimated that he fell to the ground and died of poison on the spot!
It seems that today's visit is not fruitless, at least I know one of the Duke's characteristics, that is, this person needs to drink blood to survive!
Does that mean that he needs to exchange blood to live
What if he had no blood
"Does he have no offspring?" Xu Cheng asked again.
"Probably not." William said: "If he could have offspring, we wouldn't have us. In fact, he can be the king himself. Because he has no offspring, he let Xian control us."
Xu Cheng took a parchment scroll casually, and asked curiously: "Then do you know how much this vampire folk know about him, for example, his abilities?"
William: "Sounds a bit like a superhero in Marvel. It's weird. He can dodge bullets. He used to have a thousand royal soldiers surrounding his nest, but he escaped from a thousand guns. It seems that he can still dodge bullets." Capable of flying."
Xu Cheng was amazed: "Flying ability?"
William nodded: "I haven't seen what is said on the parchment scroll."
Xu Cheng thought to himself: Dodging bullets is the effect of bat ultrasonic waves, but being able to avoid bullets with thousands of people without tight gaps shows that this monster has a strong ultrasonic ability, but it is surprising enough that he can fly. Could it be that this monster Can all the characteristics of an animal be completely evolved
