Eagle Fort, the medical room.
Listening to Kane's words, maybe Catherine still doesn't know anything, but Marcus thinks of something, and that is the beastization.
He kept thinking about the beast-like humans that had appeared since the Kingdom of Dylan was founded.
Beastization, this is the unified name of the human kingdom for people whose bodies have mutated to an unknown degree and are developing in the direction of orc-like.
Yes, Kane is not the first alienated human being to appear in the history of the kingdom, but he is the most unique.
In itself, alienation is an irreversible process, and once mutated, it cannot return to its original appearance.
But Kane can do this, and he can maintain his original sanity while transforming into a beast.
According to the research of the mage in the palace, ordinary human beings will gradually lose their original rationality in the process of becoming a beast, and transform into a monster that maintains wild thinking.
This is the price they paid for their great power.
As for how to appear alienated
There are only two kinds, the first is to accept the source blood from extraordinary beasts, and the second is to accept the blood of extraordinary orcs.
This is why Horst said earlier that this is evidence that Kane colluded with the orc kingdom.
It is worth noting that the stage at which sanity can be maintained between alienizations is itself limited by the class of the supernatural species that gave Heartblood or Originblood.
To put it simply, it is an extraordinary creature with heart blood or original blood. The higher its extraordinary level, the purer its bloodline will be, and then, the longer you can maintain your sanity.
It is rumored that there was once a human being who received the blood of an ancient dragon. He not only greatly improved his strength and lifespan, but also maintained his sanity for about two hundred and fifty years.
One must know that even a third-order transcendent can only extend one's lifespan to about two hundred years old.
Of course, this is just a special case. Normal beast-like humans can only maintain their sanity for 20 to 30 years, and their strength and lifespan have not improved so frighteningly.
Marcus thought about the knowledge about alienization in his mind, and he looked at Kane with a complicated expression.
Kane smiled disapprovingly: "But I want to say, my situation is not alienation? Marcus."
"What!? Sir, is what you said true?" Marcus said in disbelief.
Catherine, who didn't quite understand the conversation between the two, asked, "Beast transformation? What is beast transformation?"
Kane patiently explained to her: "It is the human beings who receive the blood of the extraordinary orcs, and they will mutate to varying degrees. This is the alienation."
Catherine suddenly realized: "So that's the case, eh!? My lord, you just said that you are not a beast?"
Kane said with a smile: "Yes, I am indeed not a beast, so you don't have to worry about the connection between me and the orc empire."
Marcus replied solemnly: "We never believed that, Lord Kane, you would be related to orcs."
"Yes, my lord, we all trust you." Catherine also echoed.
Kane nodded in relief, and said: "A very important source of alienation is blood, and it must be the blood of an extraordinary orc."
"At the same time, as long as it is a human being transformed into a beast, it cannot return to its original appearance, but I did it. What does this mean?"
Marcus replied: "Your situation is not caused by alienization."
"That's right, although my werewolf transformation looks like a beast transformation, it is not. This is not a change brought about by the blood of an extraordinary beast, but the ability provided by my body and my blood. "
Catherine asked: "But, the rest of your family didn't experience this change?"
Regarding this, Kane can only explain in this way: "This is probably my personal mutation, or the awakening of my blood."
After listening to Kane's explanation, the two digested.
After a long time, they looked up excitedly at Kane.
This is an ability that is not inferior to that of a beast, and it has no side effects at all. It also has good concealment, and can freely switch between the animal body and the human body.
The two were loyally happy for Kane, and at the same time they clearly realized in their hearts that the Baron Kane they were loyal to would go further than the previous Baron Rachel, whether it was the extraordinary rank or the noble title .
"My lord, I'm afraid that many people will see your changes tonight. This is a trouble." Marcus said suddenly.
"Don't worry, Marcus, only a servant in the restaurant saw my change." Kane replied.
A trace of astonishment flashed across Marcus's face. It stands to reason that only one person should have seen what happened tonight.
"Catherine, explain."
"Yes, my lord."
Catherine got up, came to Marcus, and explained to him what she had just said to Kane.
Only then did Marcus wake up like a dream, and understand the development of things after his injury.
Kane continued: "As for the person I saw, he has been accepted as my squire, and he will follow me for a while."
Catherine frowned: "My lord, you have a noble status, why should you be so, why not give him to me to control."
"Soldier Captain Catherine, I'm afraid this won't work. Let's not say that it is too abnormal for the other party to change from a servant to a soldier. Furthermore, the Lord has already agreed to accept him as a follower, so there is no way to change it. We must trust the Lord's decision. "Marcus shook his head and said.
Kane also nodded in agreement: "As Marcus said, I can't change my choice at will, otherwise it will reduce my prestige."
Catherine, who realized that she had made a mistake in her words and deeds, hurriedly lowered her head, and said to Kane, "I'm very sorry, my lord, I took it too seriously."
Kane smiled and comforted: "I don't mean to blame you, Catherine, don't be so nervous."
With Kane's understanding, Catherine dared to raise her head.
Afterwards, Kane discussed some future matters in detail with his two subordinates.
After talking in detail, he and Catherine bid farewell to Marcus and left the medical room.
Walking on the outer corridor inside the castle, Kane looked at the bright moon outside the window.
He sighed deeply. Although he just acted indifferently in front of his subordinates and soldiers.
But Kane knew that he was about to face an interrogation from Count Manvila.
To be clear, Horst is not just Kane's uncle, a member of the Gerrard family.
He is also the commander of the knights under Earl Manvila, and he is in charge of the entire cavalry of the earldom.
The riot tonight, although Horst took the lead in rebellion.
It was because of his intention to usurp the Barony of Rigit that Kane shot and killed him, but Manvila, as the earl, might not care about who was guilty first.
