Greetings, Mister Principal: Intertwined shady scenes
In the upper city of Stanzoar, the headquarters of the Immortal Throne, inside the giant white tower.
Located at the top of the giant tower, in an office with a wide view.
Legendary mage Charles Preston is sitting behind the desk. He folds his hands and puts them in front of him, blocking the lower half of his face. Standing on the other side of the desk is Preston's Student, Javier Rockfield, who just returned to Stansoya two days ago.
"...This time, the pure-blood faction can be said to have been completely defeated. The radical elements were almost wiped out. Among the remaining pure-blood families, the majority are those who tend to be friends with the magic association, and even more The important thing is that the theory of blood factors is currently in the hands of the Magic Association."
After describing the events that occurred at the Albiore wedding, Rockfield concluded.
“The pure-blood sect has suffered from the gradual weakening of blood power for many years, but as long as they can master the theory of blood factors, it will not only restore their former glory, but at least allow many pure-blood mages to take a step further. This is what they long for. The power of."
"But if the secret of bloodline is analyzed, the pure-blood sect will no longer have a reason to maintain. Every mage can rely on bloodline transformation to gain powerful power, right?"
Preston looked at the information on the table and said calmly.
After the theory of blood factor has been verified, one of the key tasks of the Immortal Throne is to complete the measurement of human chromosomes.
Different blood factors correspond to different characteristics, and these blood factors exist in different parts of different chromosomes. What the necromancers are currently concerned about is whether there are rules to follow in the existence of these blood factors. and find this pattern.
It's a long job, but if it can be done, the world will be different.
One of the core studies is the source of magic and why humans can use magic.
Other factions rely on analyzing the world to find the essence of this energy that contains huge power, while the Necromancer faction explores the cause of magic by studying various magical creatures and humans themselves, but unfortunately , so far, there has been little progress.
If the research on chromosomes and blood factors is successful, it can at least solve the problem of how humans use magic.
But this work has just begun. Necromancers have encountered many difficulties. The most prominent problem is insufficient observation magnification. Although people can observe chromosomes with traditional optical microscopes, they want to be more detailed. The current level of research is far from enough, but optical microscopy methods seem to have reached the end, and mages need to find another way.
In addition, the measurement of chromosome components and the microscopic model of traits controlled by blood factors require help from other factions. The Immortal Throne has not yet requested help from academic organizations of other factions, but this is only a matter of time.
"One more thing, teacher, I found traces of blood rocks at Albiore's house."
Rockfield added that at that time, in addition to the dozen or so pure-blood mages who suffered cognitive breakdown, one more person, Colon Francois, died. He did not suffer from a cognitive breakdown. According to Rockfield’s body examination afterwards, it was known that Cologne's cause of death was cardiac arrest caused by inhaling a large amount of blood rock. Blood rock itself has a strong stimulating effect on the nerves, and Cologne's body was weaker than ordinary people due to previous cognitive collapse, so he was inhaling a large amount of blood rock. Xue Yan had problems after another strenuous exercise.
Of course, even an ordinary person can only die if he inhales that dose of blood rock at one time. Based on the records of the mentally disturbed Marguerite Albiore after the incident, it was pieced together from a few words. Judging from the answer, Cologne believed that the blood rock could restore him to glory. In fact, the blood rock that numbed his nerves could indeed restore his previous physical strength to a certain extent, but that was just an overdraft of life.
"I didn't expect that the blood rock has penetrated into the mages, and it is still in the pure-blood sect. The initial reaction to this drug is relatively mild, and many people don't care. By the time they realize it, they have become addicted. It’s impossible to quit, it’s really a difficult drug to deal with.”
Preston whispered, glancing at another report beside his desk, one he hadn't told Rockfield about.
This is a death report from Sherlock and John who were sent by Preston to investigate the source of the blood rock.
......
In the middle of the Midland Federation, in an old mansion.
The walls of the mansion were mottled and faded. In the living room, the furniture that was so old that it was almost rotten, the semi-coagulated blood was giving off a disgusting smell.
There are two people lying on the ground, both wearing black mage robes with three gold edges on the cuffs. They are two three-ring mage.
Their death was extremely miserable. The clothes engraved with defensive magic were torn from the middle, and their chests were penetrated. A large amount of blood spurted out from the arteries in their throats. It can be imagined that when they were hit At the time of the killing, the blood would spray out at such a speed that the cabinets several meters away from the body were stained with blood.
The two mages still had shocked expressions on their faces, as if they couldn't believe that they were killed like this, with no power to fight back, which only added to the terrifying atmosphere at the scene.
In a corner of the living room, there was a man sitting.
He looked like someone who hadn't slept well for many days, with thick dark circles under his eyes and messy black hair. To be precise, he was not sitting on the sofa, but squatting on the broken leather sofa. The man He is holding a cup of coffee in his hand, but this cup of coffee may have too much sugar and has become semi-solid, and even a spoon can stand upright in it.
The man was wearing an ordinary dress. Although he was in this dilapidated and **** environment, he was spotless. He "drank" a sip of coffee, and then looked to the side of the living room.
A man in an exquisite dress walked into the living room cautiously, tiptoeing to avoid the blood splattered on the floor.
The man has gray hair and deep blue eyes, and he looks somewhat similar to Reiner.
"Do you have to be so exaggerated every time?"
The gray-haired man looked at the two corpses on the ground, took out his handkerchief and covered his nose.
"The blood rock has attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the Magic Association. There are reports on these two people that are ready to be submitted to high-level mages."
The black-haired man said coldly. Beside him, a blood-stained document floated, but soon, a flame ignited, burning it away, leaving only ashes floating away.
"You'd better be careful, it's hard to guarantee that others won't start investigating you."
"I know. ~IndoMTL.com~ The gray-haired man said impatiently and looked at the body again.
"What to do with these two corpses?"
"Leave it here. The Magic Association already knows their whereabouts. There's no point in hiding them."
The black-haired man "drank" the coffee in his cup and stood up from the sofa.
"It's time for us to move."
"Transfer? Where to go?"
The gray-haired man asked with his eyes wide open, as if the black-haired man was the real master.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place."
The black-haired man said lightly. He glanced at the map of the entire continent hanging on the wall, and his eyes fell on one point.
That is the center of the mages and the headquarters of the Magic Association, the Rainbow Tower.
