In the upper town of Stanzoya, a huge white tower stands out.
There are no windows visible from the outside of this high tower. It is lonely and stands out among the low-rise research institutes. However, few people come in and out of the high tower, making it quiet and deserted.
The sunlight cast a huge shadow on the tower. Rockfield looked up at the huge white tower and quickly walked into it.
This is the highest palace that all necromancy mages yearn for, and it is also the headquarters of the Immortal Throne. White Tatrasil is itself a huge alchemical life that condenses the essence of necromancy and alchemy. Rockfield’s trip The destination is the top floor of the giant white tower.
Taking the elevator, Rockfield quickly arrived at the office at the top of the giant tower. The view here is good. From the windows surrounding the room, one can see the vast plains as well as the glaciers that stay in the cold winter. The world's most beautiful scenery Beauty and cruelty blend together to present a magnificent picture.
There was only one desk in the huge office. When Rockfield arrived, several mages were reporting at the desk.
"... In the above four countries, the impact of 'blood rocks' is the most serious, and has even affected upper-class nobles and some mages. The source of these 'blood rocks' is very hidden. What we have found are just some low-level people." Home."
"The production process of this kind of medicine is not complicated, but it is difficult to purify. The 'blood rocks' we found are obviously divided into two types. One is shoddy and inferior products. These are widely circulated among the general public, bars, This low-quality blood rock is often found in restaurants and private parties.”
"The other kind is extremely pure and requires at least a level three alchemy workshop to produce it. This high-quality blood rock is also very expensive, and usually only lord-level nobles can access it. Its medicinal effect and dependence are also stronger. .”
"The makers of the blood rocks seem to have deliberately created this situation, using cheap and low-quality blood rocks to attract new people, selecting the rich and powerful people, and then selling high-quality ones to them, resulting in ordinary police officers only It can catch some retail investors who are not important."
After a paragraph of their report, the people listening to the report began to speak.
"Regarding the matter of 'Blood Rock', you two will continue to investigate. If necessary, you can use extraordinary means to report to the High Council in a timely manner..."
Behind the desk, Charles Preston was holding his hands together in front of him, covering the lower half of his face.
"You can go down first. Since a mage may be involved in this matter, you must proceed with caution and pay attention to safety."
After hearing this, the two mages bowed and left. They passed by Rockfield and bowed their heads slightly to him.
"Good afternoon, Lord Rockfield."
Rockfield nodded in greeting and then strode forward to the desk of his teacher, Lord Preston.
"Sherlock and John, both of them are battle mages. Has Blood Rock become so serious?"
Without directly stating his purpose, Rockfield became interested in their conversation just now.
Blood rock has appeared in various countries in recent months. It is an illegal drug that can cause mental addiction. It is usually mixed with tobacco. After smoking blood rock, people's spirits will become trance-like and lustful. Immortal, extremely excited, but once the effect of the medicine wears off, he will immediately become sluggish.
Moreover, if you stop smoking, it will lead to a strong physiological reaction, and you may even do harm to your own body.
This drug was circulated among the people and did not attract attention at first. It was not until last month that a viscount died suddenly due to an overdose of blood rock, and the Magic Association really paid attention to this new type of drug.
"In serious countries, blood rocks have even become officially circulated goods, with great signs of replacing ordinary currency. They even let children take these drugs. It is really scum."
Preston lamented that in theory, the Magic Association could not interfere in the governance of other countries at will, so although they had warned the leaders of those countries when they were aware of the dangers of the blood rocks, they may not be able to do anything in the land where the blood rocks spread. On the other hand, those in power are no longer able to control it.
The forced intervention of the Magic Association can only save some of the victims, and the blood rock makers' own strategies make them elusive. After several attacks, although a large number of blood rocks were confiscated and many practitioners were arrested, the real The source is still unknown.
"Let's not talk about it anymore, Javier, what's going on when you come here today? Is there any progress in the research?"
Preston shook his head and then asked. The study of using radioactive substances to treat that kind of disease was what Preston had instructed Rockfield to do. However, no substantial progress has been made during this period. It seems that he wants to There is still a long way to go to cure those diseases.
"No, actually, I'm here for this paper."
Rockfield presented Reiner's paper.
"Linard Ian Gray..."
Preston didn't expect to see Reiner's name again so soon, and also on an academic paper.
"This paper proposes a theory of species inheritance. I think I should show it to you, teacher."
Explaining directly, Rockfield explained his reason for disturbing Preston.
"Interesting, I didn't expect that young man to actually do research on the necromancy system."
Preston picked up the paper and flipped through it carefully. His expression was sometimes solemn and sometimes focused, as if he wanted to fully understand every word before turning to the next page.
After a long time, Preston sighed.
"If the theory above is confirmed, I'm afraid it will be the last straw for the pure-blood faction."
A large part of the reason why the twenty-seven pure-blood sects can maintain their current status is that their tribesmen can advance faster than others, thus occupying a part of the mainstream mages. At the same time, their secret methods of merging bloodlines , the study of magical creatures is also worth exploring.
But if the blood factor really exists, then the secrets of the pure-blood sect that were shrouded in mystery in the past will probably be stripped naked and thrown into the sunshine, which will be another huge blow to the status of the pure-blood sect.
The pure-blood sect's long process of bloodline transformation that requires many trials and errors, and the modern magic methods with theoretical support, determine which one is better and which one is worse.
"Actually, teacher, I already have some clues about the blood factor."
Rockfield told his teacher about the paper on chromosomes that he had read before, and he did not hide it, because Preston, an authority on necromancy, must have also read that paper, maybe when Rockfield was narrating it , it has been linked.
"... If it can be verified that the blood factor does exist on the chromosome, then the fusion of blood is no longer the patent of the blood mage. At the same time, some diseases that are difficult to cure since birth may also be found. New ways to cure..."
After listening to his student's story, Preston murmured to himself that he had not been as excited as he was today for many years and was eager to go to the laboratory to verify these conjectures.
But before that could happen, Preston knew he had one more thing to do.
"I have to write a letter to Reiner Ingle. The Immortal Throne owes him another favor."
