Chapter 107 Research (Bonus chapter for 400 monthly votes)

"I want some orcs to do some experiments. I want some of these orc larvae, and some of those bloodthirsty orc corpses. Name your price."

After standing there for a moment and thinking, Adir looked at Mokra beside him and said something.

"I can give you some orc larvae. As for the corpses of those bloodthirsty orcs, how about two magic stones per corpse?" Mokra said after thinking for a moment.

Compared to ordinary orcs, bloodthirsty orcs are not only as strong as knights, but they are also a unique mutant species. Their corpses have certain experimental value for some wizards, and are therefore more expensive.

"Deal." Adir nodded in agreement upon hearing Mokra's offer.

Time passed quickly, and after the tribe was wiped out, Kosis led his army deeper into the mountains.

In this region, there are many orcs, scattered across the land in the form of small tribes.

After Kosis led his men deeper into the region and continued to raid more than a dozen orc tribes, they began their return journey, heading back in the direction they had come from.

···············

Two months later, in a spacious laboratory, Adir stood quietly.

Before him lay a tall, bloodthirsty orc corpse on the experimental table, its body dismembered and emanating a chilling aura.

Beside the corpse of this bloodthirsty orc was the corpse of an ordinary orc, which had also been dismembered and specially wrapped with a spell to slow down decay.

Looking at the corpses of the two different orcs before him, Adir removed his blood-soaked gloves and muttered to himself, "Sure enough, although the body structure of the bloodthirsty orcs is different from that of ordinary orcs, it is actually an optimization based on the ordinary orcs. It's just that while strengthening the existing organs, it also has a few unique small organs."

"This relationship feels just like the relationship between a knight and an ordinary person," he muttered to himself, standing still.

Although the physical structures of knights and ordinary people are generally similar, they are actually different, a fact that Adir understood long ago through the chip.

Ordinary people train using the Knight Breathing Technique, which not only increases their strength but also causes certain changes in their bodies, optimizing the Knight's physical structure to adapt to the ever-increasing power.

This optimization might not be obvious for a Knight, but once a Great Knight is reached, the difference becomes very apparent when compared to an ordinary person.

In fact, this applies not only to knights but also to the wizarding system.

As apprentices meditate, their mental strength grows, which in turn optimizes their bodies, ultimately leading to an increase in physical attributes. This is why second-class apprentices possess physical attributes comparable to knights.

The bloodthirsty orcs and ordinary orcs before Adir gave him a feeling similar to the relationship between a knight and an ordinary person.

"The reason why a knight's physical structure is different from that of an ordinary person is because the knight constantly becomes stronger through the training of the knight's breathing technique, and the body is constantly adapting and changing. It is a result of acquired changes."

Standing still, Adir pondered silently: "But the Bloodthirsty Orcs are clearly different. Bloodthirsty Orcs are born as Bloodthirsty Orcs. Although the strength of their young is not much different from that of ordinary Orcs, as their bodies grow, they will eventually surpass other Orcs and gain strength comparable to that of a Knight."

"Unlike the training of the Knight's Breathing Technique, this is an innate result, related to bloodline."

Thinking about this, Adir continued to ponder: "What's the difference between the bloodlines of ordinary orcs and bloodthirsty orcs, even though they both belong to the orc race?"

"It seems that we will need to observe for a long time, and perhaps even conduct bloodline experiments, to find the results."

Standing there, looking at the dismembered orc corpse before him, Adir thought to himself.

"It seems we still need to find some time to purchase some equipment for bloodline experiments."

Adir hadn't brought these kinds of tools with him beforehand because they were inconvenient to carry. And given the barrenness of Ancient Armor City, it wasn't realistic to expect to find them in the surrounding area; he could only buy them from certain fixed resource points.

"Chip, how's the analysis of the Crimson Blood formula going?" He asked the chip in his mind, standing still.

"Crimson Blood Recipe, 78.1% analyzed... Estimated analysis time: seven days..."

The voice of the chip machinery echoed in my mind once more.

"The analysis will be completed in seven more days."

Hearing the prompt from the chip in his mind, Adir nodded.

The Crimson Blood I obtained from Aisha through an exchange has had its approximate effects determined through research over this period.

Through the chip's specific analysis of the body, Adir discovered that this crimson blood contains a unique active substance that can not only enhance physical fitness to a certain extent, but also has a good therapeutic effect.

If this crimson blood is used for a long time, some knights' hidden injuries, and even the powerful aftereffects of the life seed eruption, can be greatly improved.

This effect is nothing to wizards, but it is very useful to knights and even grand knights.

"We're running out of orc materials for the experiments. Also, it's time to take out those ready-made sobering potions from Aysal's side." Looking around at the several bottles of pale red potions that had been prepared next to the experimental table, Adir thought to himself.

The sobering potion is just a basic potion; as long as you have the recipe, its difficulty is not a big deal for Adir.

However, in order to disguise himself as an ordinary potion apprentice, he delayed for two months before finally preparing to take it out.

Several days later.

One morning, Adir, accompanied by Eld and the others, arrived at a manor in the ancient city of Armor.

Inside, Aisha, dressed in expensive clothes like a noble lady, was receiving Adir.

The apprentices in Ancient Armor City each have their own identities. Just as Adir appears to be a newly promoted nobleman, Aisha is also seen by others as a noblewoman with the title of viscount and a good reputation in Ancient Armor City.

"Did you bring the things?"

Having just sat down and waited for the servants around her to leave, Aisha looked at Adir and asked somewhat impatiently.

Seeing her like this, Adir nodded slightly, and then took out a package from behind him.

When the package was opened, it contained several bottles of pale red medicine, which looked like fresh blood and were quite captivating.

With a soft click, Aisha quickly opened the bottle of potion and held it to her nose to smell it.

"That's right, that's the smell. Just breathing it in makes me feel calm."

Looking at the potion in her hand, Aisha's face first showed excitement, then returned to calm.

"Now that the promise has been fulfilled, it's time for our transaction to begin."

Sitting across from her, observing her expression, Adir smiled and offered a reminder.

"Of course, this was agreed upon long ago."

Looking at Adir, Aisara smiled as well, then slowly stood up: "Please come with me."

She led Adir deeper into the manor.

Soon, he arrived at a dark place, where he opened a stone slab on the ground, revealing the steps below.

A strong smell of blood immediately wafted up from below, noticeable even from a great distance.

However, neither Adir nor Aisha reacted to the stench of blood that would make ordinary people nauseous, as if they were already used to it.

After giving Adir a quick glance, Aisha was the first to walk down.

As footsteps sounded, the surrounding lights gradually came on, illuminating the dark basement.

"This is my private laboratory. No one else comes here except me."

Arriving at a room deep in the basement, Aisha sat down in a chair and looked at Adir before her with a charming smile.

"I understand." Adir nodded calmly.

Wizards' experiments often cannot be exposed to outsiders, so having their own laboratories is actually quite normal.

However, compared to the laboratories of other wizards, the scene before them was somewhat frightening.

Inside the spacious laboratory, various organs and bones lay silently on the surrounding experimental tables. Tubes of blood emitted a dizzying, pungent stench, turning the surroundings red.

In some corners, Adir saw many corpses that had been tortured beyond recognition, their faces contorted in extreme pain, as if they had suffered immense agony before their deaths.

If someone else saw this scene, they would probably think they had come to hell.

"Alright, that concludes the research on blood magic. If you wish to learn this knowledge, you will need to get used to similar scenarios in the future."

Across from Adir, looking into his eyes, Aisha shook her head and explained to Adir.

After saying this, she walked to a corner and took out some books that looked very old.

"This is basic knowledge of blood magic, which is some information that our school has obtained through past research. It is not difficult in itself."

She looked at Adir and said quietly, "You can take it back and study it yourself. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me again."

Adir took the ancient book from her hands, nodded, and then took out a high-grade magic stone from his bag: "This is the tuition fee we agreed on before, as the price for learning this knowledge."

"Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you."

Taking the magic stone from Adir's hand, feeling its unique texture and the surge of energy particles, Aisha's smile deepened, and she couldn't help but laugh at Adir.
