Chapter 50: The source blood of the Blood Saints

Views:

Kaimon City, Red Mist Research Institute.

"Shattered Lake Prison has already sent a notice regarding your case. Since that person has punished you, the institute will naturally not disobey her request."

In the office, a young scholar with red eyes in a white robe looked at the blood-stained blue-scaled fishman in front of him and said calmly, "Lorens, how is your blood embrace progress?"

The blue-scaled fishman lowered his head and said, "I have condensed two drops of silver source blood and two drops of gold source blood, but I have spent more than ten days on the third drop of silver source blood and there is no progress at all... This should be the limit of this student."

"You were just a little bit away from condensing the seven-colored source blood. What a pity. But you don't have to be discouraged. Maybe you will have a chance to purify your blood in the future." The red-eyed scholar sighed at first, and then became serious: "So, you are sure that you don't need to stay in the Broken Lake Prison to perform the blood embrace ceremony, so you take the risk to steal other people's skills?"

The blue-scaled fishman remained silent and did not refute.

"You're lucky this time. You met someone who's soft-hearted. You won't be so lucky next time." The young scholar sighed and said, "For the next ten years, you should stay in the institute and do research honestly. Don't participate in any academic activities. After ten years, the person you offended will probably have condensed colorful wings, and it will be impossible for you to meet her."

"yes."

"Go back and have a rest. I'll arrange your office tomorrow." The young scholar knocked on the wooden table. "Remember to organize your learning results and give me a report in two days."

"Thank you, teacher. Goodbye, teacher."

The blue-scaled fishman respectfully left the office and quickly left the institute.

It was already late at night outside, with a blood-red moon hanging high in the sky. There were not many people in the research institute. Lawrence's pace became faster and faster, and when he passed by a tree, he suddenly punched it!

Snapped!

The tree trunk was dented by his blow, and the wound bitten by the finger shark began to bleed again, and even the scales were cracked.

His hands hurt, and his whole body hurt, but these visible wounds were far less painful than the invisible wound in his heart!

He was the medical technician 176 who was thrown out of Broken Lake Prison last night.

Formerly known as Lawrence Teutonic, he is a blue-scaled fishman and a scholar at the Red Mist Research Institute.

After a night and a day, he finally escaped from the hunting of the Finger Shark and returned to the city of Kaimen. After crawling back to land, he did not even bother to treat himself, and went straight to the research institute to inquire about his future - if 222 wanted to get to the bottom of it, the institute would not only revoke his status as a scholar, but would even draw back the "holy blood" in his body!

Lawrence also thought about running away directly.

But the chip check during security check instantly made him give up this stupid idea.

Unless you go to the black market and spend a lot of money to find a sorcerer to eradicate your chip, and then leave society and become a wild creature, there is no place to accommodate criminals in this era of comprehensive chipization.

In the Kingdom of Blood Moon, there are only two options after offending the Blood Saints: beg for mercy or wait for judgment.

Fortunately, 222's punishment on him ended here, and Lawrence still had a bright future. He was still the most promising scholar in the Red Mist Institute and could still live for another 100 or 200 years.

However, it was precisely because he no longer had to pay the price that made Lawrence even more angry!

Maybe others will think this is kindness.

But he only felt deep contempt!

But the other party does have the qualifications to look down on Lawrence. Just as the teacher said, in ten years the other party will definitely be able to achieve the Three-Winged Sanctuary, while Lawrence can hardly even achieve the Two Golden Wings!

Although both are members of the Blood Saint Clan, the difference in their bloodline qualifications is huge!

Yes, blood!

Lawrence was originally just a blue-scaled fishman from an orphanage in a slum, but because of his outstanding learning ability, he was admitted to the Comprehensive University of Kaimen City. Before he graduated, he was hired by the Red Mist Research Institute and qualified to perform the "blood exchange ceremony", becoming a blood saint that everyone aspires to!

The Blood Saints, like the Moon Shadows, are unable to reproduce through normal mating rituals. The only way for the Blood Saints to develop their compatriots is to absorb other races for blood exchange.

Although different races will show the same characteristics after blood transfusion, such as scarlet eyes, but in theory, the Blood Saint Clan is not a racial concept, but a cultural concept - everyone agrees that they are a superior race that has separated from lower races.

There are many benefits to becoming a Blood Saint. The biggest benefit is naturally that the body is completely free from the limitations of lifespan, never aging, and forever young, making it an immortal race.

However, although the body does not age, the soul will wither. The soul of each race has an upper limit to its lifespan. For example, the soul of a human blood saint will disintegrate at about 150 years old.

In addition, the Blood Saints have another benefit that attracts sorcerers: blood healing!

The Blood Saints can speed up the recovery of their bodies and souls by drinking blood!

The reason why magicians have to wait for many days before they can enter the virtual world again after death is to replenish soul energy. Blood Saints who can replenish soul energy through blood therapy can greatly shorten the death cooling time and increase the frequency of their exploration of the virtual world.

Blood healing and immortality are the racial advantages that the Blood Saints use to establish their dominance in the Blood Moon Kingdom.

Although the racial advantages are so outstanding, the Blood Saints also have serious shortcomings.

In addition to the need to observe many taboos, the biggest disadvantage of the Blood Saint Clan is that the magicians cannot absorb magic power in the virtual realm.

That’s right, it’s impossible to absorb magical power!

The blood exchange ritual is essentially a miracle that deeply combines the soul and blood, so the body gains the characteristics of immortality, and drinking blood can heal the body.

But because of this reason, an incomplete soul cannot absorb magical power in the virtual world, which means that the magician's future is ruined.

But the Blood Saint magicians had already figured out a solution, which was why Lawrence went to Broken Lake Prison as a medical practitioner—all newborn blood descendants had to use death row prisoners as sacrifices to perform the "Blood Embrace Ceremony" to condense the source blood!

Source blood is the medium that replaces the soul in absorbing magical power. According to different levels, it is divided into silver source blood, gold source blood, colorful source blood and colorless source blood from low to high, corresponding to the four kinds of magical power in the virtual realm respectively.

Every three drops of low-level source blood can be synthesized into one drop of high-level source blood, and the Blood Saints must have corresponding or higher-level source blood in order to absorb the corresponding magical power. For example, silver source blood absorbs silver magical power, and gold source blood absorbs gold magical power.

If you want to summon a higher-level magic spirit, you must have a higher-level source blood!

The Blood Saints, without the golden source blood, cannot summon a two-winged magic spirit, and naturally cannot be promoted to a two-winged magician.

This is why the teacher felt sorry for Lawrence - if he condensed one more drop of silver source blood, he would be able to synthesize seven-color source blood, and then the door to the Three-Winged Sanctuary would be open to him!

And now, Lawrence, who only has golden blood, will stop at the golden two wings in the future.

Only when he can purify his bloodline and condense the seven-colored source blood, will he have the possibility of stepping into the Three-Wing Holy Land!

In addition, the higher the level of the source blood, the more efficient it is in absorbing magical power.

In the Sea of Knowledge, compared with a normal magician, the basic absorption efficiency of a drop of silver source blood is only 30%, and each additional drop can increase by 10%.

This is why the teacher said that Lawrence only needs to hide for ten years - Lawrence has two drops of gold source blood and two drops of silver source blood, a total of 3+3+2=8 drops of silver source blood, with an absorption efficiency of 100%;

The new scholars in the four major research institutes can at least condense one drop of colorless source blood, which is synthesized from 3*3*3=27 drops of silver source blood, with an absorption efficiency of 290%!

The gap is three times as big. Even if it is only a temporary advantage in the sea of knowledge, but through ten years of accumulation, it is enough for the other party to grow into someone that Lawrence can only watch from afar.

To that person, Lawrence was just a fart that could be passed around at will, not worth paying any attention to.

How could the future Three-Winged Sanctuary care about the resentment of a Two-Winged Gold

Nothing made Lawrence more angry than this - maybe it was bad, maybe no one cared, maybe he was ridiculed by others, but for this blue-scaled fishman who struggled from the slums to the research institute, dignity was the only wealth he had.

Without dignity, he really has nothing.
