Luther had a bitter look on his face as he told Roger the history of the profession of potion master and his situation in the Sea of Confession.
But before that, Luther also told Roger about a key point he was going to ask about next - that is, "era".
The "era" of the entire Mysterious Sea world.
Before the power of the church reached the Sea of Repentance, the extraordinary people called this period of time the "Age of Chaos".
[Age of Chaos], as the name suggests, is an era with chaos as its main theme.
The records of this era written by the extraordinary people are full of fear and anxiety.
During this period of time, the border fog would often shift and change, and the entire world's pattern would also be constantly changing as a result.
Many monsters, horrors, and unknowns are unveiled in the chaos, creating disasters.
Various extraordinary races, churches, and kingdoms were also affected by this, with uninterrupted natural disasters, wars, and changes...
The group of extraordinary people are the beneficiaries of this era because the sea of repentance where they are located is relatively calm.
But they are also victims of this era. It is precisely because of the calmness of the Sea of Confession that the church has attracted some of them to turn their attention to the Sea of Confession, which has also led to the current situation of the Sea of Confession...
Before the [Age of Chaos], there was the [Age of Dynasty], about which there are few records.
It was a brilliant yet obscure era.
This is where the group of extraordinary people was born.
One of the most notable features of [Dynasties Era] is the prosperous dynasties in various regions.
The world at that time was like a hundred flowers blooming. Great empires and powerful men with fame throughout the world were all born at that time.
At that time, the "Church" was just in its infancy, and there were more faith-based creatures such as "sacrificial spirits" and "totems", but the ones who actually controlled the world's power were the extraordinary races in various regions.
However, after that, due to the unusual movement of the border fog, the [Dynasty Era] also came to an end, and the [Chaos Era] took over and began a new round of changes...
And even earlier than that, there was an even more ancient era - the [Abyss Sea Era].
It’s a pity that these up-and-coming people, whether they are the extraordinary people or the church, know very little about it.
Perhaps there will be some records in the dynasties that bloom like stars.
But as time goes by, the past has long since sunk into the mysterious sea along with the fall of the dynasty, and there is no way to tell...
Many brilliant works were born from the once huge group of extraordinary people, including explorations of the entire world and salvage of history.
It's a pity that the group of extraordinary people is just a meteor that hastily streaked across the vast torrent of the times, and eventually came to its current end...
The reason for all this is weakness.
At this point, Luther couldn't help but reveal a very important piece of information to Roger again.
That is - the human body cannot withstand the power of the "God" level!
In the history of the development of the extraordinary group, countless pioneers and warriors have tried to break this restriction, but they all failed one by one. Some died on the spot, and some turned into monsters...
With such precedents, there are naturally fewer and fewer latecomers.
This undoubtedly determines the upper limit of the entire human race.
Therefore, no matter how much the extraordinary people study and progress, it is difficult for them to go further and become the supreme... "God".
Unless you find another way.
But in this case, there is another way.
So Luther did not elaborate too much, but changed the subject.
"... But, Mr. Roger, I must tell you that this important path of extraordinary potions is very likely not something that began to appear during the Age of Chaos."
Luther looked at Rogge with a serious expression.
"The extraordinary potion is just a relatively suitable path that the extraordinary people have found after continuous attempts over a long period of time."
"Although the path of extraordinary magic potion has now stopped at the angel level, this is only the upper limit of extraordinary magic potion, not the true upper limit of the path of extraordinary magic potion..."
After saying this, Luther seemed to feel that he didn't quite understand what he said, so he paused for a moment before speaking again.
"What I mean is that the idea of extraordinary potions is not limited to angels."
“Although this path is very difficult, it definitely has a future!”
At this point, Luther became a little excited. He pressed his hands on the table in front of him and propped up his body slightly.
"When I was in Purple Agate College, I read an ancient book in the library. Although I don't know who left it, I know the records in it very well!"
"Once, a pioneer entered the Border Mist and mistakenly entered a mysterious area. He saw some mysterious murals in the huge strait cave there!"
"It depicts a legendary human being who, through a secret method, merged with the blood of the gods and eventually became the supreme ruler of all people in the tribe, possessing power comparable to that of the gods!"
"So... maybe we just took the wrong path!"
At this point, Luther's expression was already very excited.
Seeing this, Gaisinya next to him pulled him.
Luther finally came to his senses, took a breath, sat down and apologized to Rogge.
“…I’m sorry, Captain Roger, I’m being rude.”
"fine."
Rogge shook his head, but a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
After a long time, he couldn't help but frown, still finding it a little unbelievable.
The Sea of Repentance is so vast, not to mention the original "Land of the Mother Goddess". Even if there is only an island, there must be a sufficient number of extraordinary people.
Is it true that the human body is unable to withstand the power of God
No, even if Roger hadn't heard what Luther said before, he would have denied this statement without hesitation.
He knows the essence of the path to godhood.
Moreover, knowledge and wisdom had already told him how to become a demigod through potions, which meant that there was a precedent of extraordinary people becoming demigods.
The power of authority is not untouchable by humans.
It's just a physical deficiency, and I don't know how to make up for it.
Therefore, the reason why there are no demigods among the extraordinary people of the Sea of Confession must be due to the gap in potion knowledge.
Thinking of this, Roger couldn't help but ask a question.
"Although the border fog is dangerous, it also hides huge opportunities. Is it possible that no extraordinary person has ever gone to the Sea of Confession to find a solution?"
Hearing this, Luther sighed: "Of course there are, but there are only a handful of people who have the courage to do this. Besides, the number of extraordinary people is already scarce, so how could so many people go to the extremely dangerous border fog..."
"Scarce quantity?" Rogge was stunned when he heard this.
He subconsciously thought of the current situation of the Swamp of Corruption, and a guess flashed through his mind.
"… In the past, the extraordinary potions in the Sea of Confession have always been controlled by the big families, right?"
Roger looked at Luther and said in a deep voice.
Only then did he suddenly realize a problem.
Doyle is a member of the DeWeese family, and the DeWeese family is one of the families that controls the formula of extraordinary magic potions.
So, is today’s swamp of corruption a microcosm of the sea of repentance in the past
Luther was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then frowned slightly, looked at him in surprise and said, "What else?"
Hearing this, Mira couldn't help but frown and asked: "Then why not teach the extraordinary potion formula and the potion master's skills to more people?"
"Yes, yes, then there will be more extraordinary people and potion masters, right?" Nomi nodded in agreement.
"First of all, the danger of the extraordinary potion itself is not something that everyone can bear..."
"The second thing is... let alone learning potion knowledge, many people are illiterate and they don't have the talent..."
"Finally, there is the issue of potion materials. Some potion materials are very difficult to obtain and there is no way to make them in large quantities..."
After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
But Roger understood instantly.
Today's swamp of corruption is a microcosm of the sea of repentance in the past.
In the sea dotted with countless islands, on the islands with a small population to begin with, the big families that possess extraordinary powers firmly control the potion formula, which is the lifeline of mankind.
The entire Sea of Repentance can indeed support a very large population.
If most people possess extraordinary powers, then with a huge population base, it will definitely be enough to produce a large number of extraordinary strong people!
If supernatural powers were used with the help of magic potions to support human development, such as production and invention, the human race would have taken off long ago.
But here comes the problem.
Will these big families contribute the extraordinary potions to the common people, or... their slaves
Impossible, this is digging up their roots.
It’s not that they can’t, it’s that they don’t want to.
The danger of the potion itself is indeed objective, but Roger doesn't think that anyone would give up mastering extraordinary powers because of this danger.
And the fact that they are illiterate... happens to be the basis for Rogge to conclude that these big families only do not publish the knowledge of potions in order to control power.
Is everyone in your family born knowing how to read and write? If no one taught them, who would know how to read
The limitation of potion materials is what Rogge thinks is the most ridiculous thing.
As a potion master, he knew this very well.
There are countless supernatural creatures and monsters in this world, so the ingredients for the potion itself are not a problem at all.
The real problem lies in obtaining the potion materials and the potion recipe!
It may be relatively difficult to obtain potion materials. After all, some powerful monsters are not easy to deal with.
But Rogge knew very well where this difficulty came from.
There are not enough extraordinary people and not enough potion recipes.
The insufficient number of extraordinary people leads to a shortage of strong people, which in turn makes it difficult to obtain potion materials.
The insufficient number of potion recipes resulted in a single target for potion materials.
These factors will lead to a shortage of extraordinary people.
so…
The fundamental reason for the failure of the extraordinary group... lies in the human social system.
They are small islands with sparse populations and insufficient resources, but the big families also control the formula of the extraordinary potion and its source of power.
The key is that you just have to control it. If there are enough extraordinary people, it will inevitably give birth to top strong people, and then move towards outward expansion, and the situation will be even better.
But they can't.
Even if we assume that there is a way to break through human limitations in the fog of boundaries.
So, a person who comes from a big family, has no worries about food and clothing, and possesses powerful supernatural powers... who would be so stupid as to run to the dangerous border fog and die for no reason
Under such circumstances, it would be strange if there were enough extraordinary people to explore!
Luther in front of us, Doyle on the stake, Sveka escaping into the swamp of corruption, resisting the eclipse of the church...
These people may have noble ideas, they want the human race to continue without being enslaved.
But ultimately, they were blinded by the current civilized system and the social class they belonged to, and did not understand where exactly they had lost.
Therefore, what shackles humanity is not the human body, but... humanity itself.
After thinking it all through, Rogge couldn't help but fall silent.
He subconsciously began to think about Magrela, Scott, and even the Black Tide City.
Following his silence, the atmosphere at the scene also fell silent.
Fortunately, Rogge quickly came to his senses and looked at Luther in front of him.
Then, he leaned on the table with his arms folded across his chest, leaning forward slightly, and looked at him calmly.
"Mr. Luther, if possible, don't you want humans to use extraordinary power to rise again?"
"... Of course I am willing." In response, Luther was only puzzled for a moment and nodded without hesitation.
"Well, I need you to do me a favor."
Hearing this, Rogge smiled and stood up.
…
"uh-huh… "
The relaxed and cheerful humming sound echoed throughout the dark tunnel.
Doyle's pace was quite leisurely, and he moved forward in the tunnel neither hurriedly nor slowly.
He held an oil lamp in his hand and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
This dark and gloomy tunnel seemed to be filled with a pleasant atmosphere in his eyes.
After walking for quite a long time, he finally reached the end of the dark tunnel.
However, at the end is a thick rock wall.
As if it had sensed someone's arrival, a transparent, long, strip-like creature appeared on the rock wall after a liquid-like rolling.
It paused for a moment at Doyle's neck, its nostrils contracted, and it sniffed hard.
After a moment, it nodded humanely.
Then, an extremely simple mouth appeared at the top of it and asked Doyle a question.
"You are a man with nothing to offer except your handsomeness, and your wife is extremely ugly but rich enough to rival a country. So, on your wedding night, you said to her..."
Doyle stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said to it seriously: "My dear, I will love you forever."
"Oh my! What a bad lie..."
The transparent, long creature clicked its tongue twice in dissatisfaction.
"Welcome back, Agongos, turn right."
As it finished speaking, a dark passage appeared on the right.
In response, Doyle just shrugged his shoulders, without any intention of turning, and "rammed" into it head-on without hesitation.
But as Doyle took steps, his body slowly disappeared into the thick rock wall...
One ball a day!
