Bang—
As soon as Reiner finished speaking, he saw a small group of people arriving at the gate.
The leader among them is Alymiya, who is followed by Anweina, Fina, Claire, Dana and others.
There is also a man lying in mid-air, lifted up by the hands of the mage, which is Edward.
Edward was placed on the ground with a muffled sound.
He was covered in cuts and bruises, and the originally gorgeous dress robes had become tattered. Edward originally had several ornaments engraved with protective magic, but they were useless in the face of Dana's absolute power. The layers of protection were suddenly torn apart. Edward flew into the sky and fell down after a while.
He had three broken ribs and a severely fractured leg. His body was covered in burns caused by the explosion. He only had a weak breath and was barely breathing.
"Father... ... "
After these turmoils, Edward gradually came to his senses. He leaned against the wall on one side of the hall and found that everyone in the banquet hall was staring at him. Edward found William's figure and used his remaining strength to ask his father Reach out.
But William didn't move. Reiner's words were still echoing in his mind.
"But Edward Albiore is not your biological son."
William's first wife quickly stepped forward and brought servants to treat Edward, while the second wife stood there at a loss.
"It's okay, my Edward."
Edward's biological mother lovingly stroked Edward's face, which was still handsome but now had most of it damaged, and then glared at Emilia viciously, cursing in her mouth.
"You fornicating bastard, you actually gave my Edward..."
Claire protected Alymiya behind her, and she felt relieved when she saw Reiner.
William said nothing and looked at Reiner.
"You said Edward is not my biological son? What a joke, he looks similar to me and has awakened the bloodline of the Albiore family. How could he not be my biological son!!?"
Other pure-blood families are also paying attention to this matter, not just because they are joining in the fun, but because although the genetic theory and chromosome theory that Reiner just mentioned were recognized by high-level mages, in the end, they were only presented with These are just experimental results on paper.
If Reiner really used genetic theory and proved something in front of everyone, then it would be real and relevant.
Therefore, this is no longer a family matter of the Albiore family, but a major matter concerning the entire pure-blood family!
If Reiner cannot prove it, or proves it wrong, then there are obvious loopholes in the genetic theory, and the foundation of the pure-blood sect is still there!
"Don't get excited, Mr. Albiore, I will explain everything."
Reiner turned a page on the white wall, and what was projected was the statistical data of two certain indicators among the members of the Albiore family in the past three hundred years.
"Actually, Mr. Albiore, there are two pieces of evidence that prove that Alimiya is not your biological child. One is Alimiya's red hair, and the other is that she has not awakened the Albiore family. Regarding bloodline ability, since the Elbiore family has always been intermarrying, there is basically no introduction of external bloodline factors, making the statistical results similar to those of self-pollinated peas, which saves a lot of trouble."
Reiner smiled, but in response to his sarcasm, William remained calm and only looked at the content of the manuscript on the wall.
The statistics of the white wall are exactly the comparison between hair color and ability awakening in the Albiore family.
"According to the genetic theory, I first verified whether these two traits are inherited along with gender. It can be seen that in the past three hundred years, there have been twenty people in the Albiore family who have not awakened their abilities. These twenty The male-to-female ratio in humans is 11 to 9, almost half and half, so it can be considered that traits are not inherited along with gender.”
Step by step, Reiner began to prove his hypothesis.
"Twenty of the eighty-five tribesmen in the past three hundred years have not awakened. It can be seen that the ratio of people who have awakened bloodline abilities to those who have not awakened is close to three to one, which is in line with the dominant bloodline factor and the latent bloodline. According to the genetic rules of factors, the Albiore family’s bloodline ability is the dominant factor.”
Thanks to the arguments of Wandou and Yuexiao, this conjecture is much easier to accept. In fact, the existence of Squibs has always been an unresolved issue in major pure-blood families. Now, Reiner's conjecture has made many pure-blood families The head of the family fell into deep thought.
"It can be simply assumed that Mr. Albiore, your bloodline factor type in bloodline ability is Aa, and Mrs. Martha is also Aa. In this way, it is entirely possible to give birth to an aa recessive type like Emilia. . ”
Reiner spoke in an orderly manner, leaving no room for rebuttal.
"But that doesn't explain her hair."
William said in a deep voice, thoughtfully, but for the sake of the reputation of the Albiore family and the future of the pure-blood sect, he still asked.
At this time, Edward, who was listening on the sidelines, probably heard clearly what Reiner was saying to his father. He stared at Reiner and wanted to curse, but his weak body forced Edward to accept the treatment in silence. .
"Yes, if squibs who fail to awaken their abilities are common in pure-blood families, Emiya's red hair is not so common. But in fact, in the history of the Albiore family, it is not uncommon. Red-haired clansman.”
Reiner waved his hand, and the white wall turned to another page, with the heads of five people on it.
"These five are the red-haired members of the Albiore family. The farthest is Weber Albiore, who was born two hundred and ninety-one years ago, and the nearest is Emilia."
William quickly began to calculate in his mind. Only five of the eighty-five people had red hair, which did not conform to the three-to-one rule. Even if the nine people who died in infancy were included in the table, it was far from this ratio!
The laws of genetics are wrong!
He was a little excited in his heart, but still showed no expression on the surface, waiting for Reiner to contradict himself.
"If you simply follow the conclusions of dominant and recessive blood factors, you will find that the ratio of blond hair to red hair is not three to one. The number of blond hair is far greater than this number. There seems to be a problem with the genetic law."
Reiner deliberately looked troubled and waited for a while before continuing.
"But we know that humans are different from peas after all. They cannot be black or white. In fact, there are not only two blood factors that control hair color. At least, from my current observations, the Albiore family, There are three hair colors.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at William and other members of the Albiore family.
Emilia is as crimson as flames.
William is shining bright gold.
Edward is a soft pale gold.
