In the afternoon, after finishing his practice and having nothing to do, Gray went to the library.
In the library, he had already read through all the books on common knowledge about mainland China. As for other miscellaneous books such as travel notes and biographies, he was not very interested, so he went to the library less frequently than before.
Gently pushing open the library door, Gray looked towards the white round table on the right side of the library.
As he expected, Caroline was sitting there quietly, holding a book and reading with relish.
She is wearing a blue pleated suit, her legs are elegantly folded together, her long brown hair is tied into a ponytail, her blue eyes are staring closely at the words in the book, and her face will occasionally reveal a sudden realization. look.
Different from Gray's rough way of reading with strong purpose, she prefers to study and understand the sentences and vocabulary in the book word for word, and her reading is more detailed than Gray's.
Beside Caroline, there was another person beside the round table.
This person was wearing a long white pleated skirt, with a well-proportioned face, fair and delicate skin, and long golden hair, which was spread out behind him. A gust of cool breeze blew in from the window, and his golden hair suddenly fluttered slightly.
This person is naturally Pearly.
When Gray entered, Caroline and Pearly immediately noticed that they both raised their heads and looked at Gray.
Caroline nodded slightly, while Pearly was slightly curious.
"How did you come?"
In the past few days since she came to the castle, she had not seen Gray coming to the library. When she saw him suddenly, she couldn't help but feel slightly curious.
Upon hearing the other party's words, Gray immediately guessed that in this person's eyes, he might have formed the impression of being "uneducated and incompetent" and "having no connection with books." He shrugged without explaining.
"I'm a bit free, so I came here to find a book and read it!"
"Understood, do you want me to recommend it to you?"
Polly said to Gray as if she knew this place better than you.
"Uh, no need."
Gray rolled his eyes inwardly.
How many days has this eldest lady lived in Fergus Castle? Despite all my efforts, I only went to the library a few times. How could he be as familiar with the books in the library as he was
This eldest lady was so polite that she actually had the guts to recommend books for him.
"you are welcome."
Although among the people present, the one who was most familiar with the library was none other than Caroline. However, knowing that Gray and Caroline did not share the same father and mother, their relationship might not be good, so Pearly took the initiative to recommend the book to Gray. "important task".
"No need really."
Gray felt ashamed, he was really rude.
He came to the library just to pick out a book he wanted to read. If Pearly recommended something he wanted to read, that would be fine. If she recommended something he didn't want to read and it was difficult to refuse, then I'm probably going to be depressed this afternoon.
"Well, if you can't find the right one, just tell me and I will recommend it to you."
Seeing Gray's repeated refusal, Pearly could only nod.
"okay."
Gray finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Caroline raised her head, first glanced at Pearly, and then her eyes were fixed on Gray strangely.
Seeing the other party's gaze, Gray cast a "dissatisfied" look, complaining that the other party did not explain himself, but Caroline smiled slightly, then immediately lowered her head and looked at her book.
Seeing how the other party was doing, Gray couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that his sister had such a "devil" side.
He found the bookshelf where blood spells were stacked, and after some selection, Gray found a book called "The Mutation of Blood Beasts".
Holding this book, Gray came to the white round table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
I opened the book and was about to read it when I immediately smelled a faint fragrance coming from the side.
Turning his head, he saw Pearly not far away, leaning toward him. A strand of golden hair fell on the white round table, as smooth as gold.
"Do you like these kinds of books?"
Pearly wrinkled her nose.
"Well, I'm very curious about blood beasts."
Gray nodded.
His transformation ability is related to the blood beast, and only the blood of the blood beast can promote his transformation, so he wants to accumulate as much knowledge about the blood beast as possible.
"What are you curious about?"
Pearly couldn't help but ask.
"I'm curious about their strange abilities, as well as the bloodline evolution and bloodline deterioration that happened to them."
Gray thought for a while.
"Well, there are many such books in Sidney Castle. Well, if you go to Sidney Castle next time, I will take you to have a look."
"Thank you very much!"
Gray thanked him.
The library of the Sidney family is definitely larger than the library of the Fergus family, and there must be more books. Maybe you can find descriptions similar to his current situation in these books.
After the two exchanged a few words, they ended their conversation and began to read their respective books.
As the pages of the book turned, Gray could not help but be gradually attracted by the contents of the book.
"The Mutation of the Blood Beast" is a book that introduces the mutation phenomenon that occurs in the blood beast. Mutation, simply put, means that a certain aspect of the blood beast's ability has changed.
For example, the power is stronger than the blood beast of the same type, the speed is faster than the blood beast of the same type, and the recovery speed is faster than the blood beast of the same type...
There are many types. Of course, there are not only good mutations. There are some mutations that will have a bad impact on the blood beasts. For example, they seem to be weaker than the blood beasts of the same type, and the blood beasts are weaker than the blood beasts of the same type...
The entire book is centered around recording this phenomenon and publishing the author's own speculations about this phenomenon.
"Mutation is an incomplete form of bloodline evolution and bloodline deterioration?"
Unknowingly, Gray was holding his chin with one hand, thinking about the author's speculation.
According to the author of this book, mutated blood beasts are a special situation caused by incomplete bloodline evolution and bloodline degradation.
To put it simply, when bloodline evolves, only some characteristics have evolved, but there are still some characteristics that have not evolved, making this blood beast stronger than blood beasts of the same type, but not as good as higher sequence blood beasts.
The same is true when bloodline deteriorates. Some physical characteristics have deteriorated due to bloodline degradation, but some physical characteristics have not. As a result, this blood beast is weaker than blood beasts of the same type, but stronger than lower-sequence blood beasts.
"Really?"
Gray raised an eyebrow.
The views of the author of this book are very different from the understanding of mutation formed in his previous life.
According to the previous life, variation is the difference in morphological characteristics, physiological characteristics, etc. between biological generations or between different individuals of the same generation. This kind of variation is strange and has no clear direction.
But if according to the author of this book, mutation is directional, either closer to high-sequence blood beasts, or closer to low-sequence blood beasts.
Because the direction has been fixed, to a certain extent, this can no longer be called mutation. After all, the main characteristic of mutation is randomness and no direction.
"This view... is problematic, but I know too few cases of mutation, and I have never even been exposed to it..."
Gray shook his head. Adhering to the common sense formed by previous lives about mutation, he did not agree with the author of this book's point of view.
However, he only knew about the mutations from books and had never experienced them, so he could not provide strong evidence to deny the other party's view.
As for the mutation in his own blood power recovery speed, it is just a fake. His blood power recovery speed is not much different from Bernal and others. The reason why Viscount Fergus and others think so is, It was entirely because of the strength characteristics of Han Hu that he did not use the power of blood in the battle.
Time passed unknowingly, and soon it was getting late. In the evening, a servant came to inform him that he was going to have a meal.
Gray, Caroline, and Pearly stood up and walked toward the restaurant.
Follow the stairs on the second floor to the lobby on the first floor, then go left from the lobby and pass through a passage to the entrance of the restaurant.
Gray looked casually into the restaurant. The next moment, his heart suddenly started pounding, and cold sweat slid down his forehead.
A corner of the restaurant was blocked by a standing cabinet. Where the shadow appeared, a vague figure squatted and appeared there.
Servants came in and out of the restaurant, and some even passed by less than half a meter away from the figure, but none of the servants noticed the figure. It was as if only he could see the figure.
The answer is already obvious. The other party must have used some kind of ability to hide in the shadows to hide his body in the shadows, so that others cannot see him at all.
The reason why he was able to see the other party was naturally because of the infrared perception he gained after swallowing the blood of the shadow snake.
The body can be hidden in the shadows, but the infrared rays emitted by the body cannot be hidden, so it was seen by Gray.
