Chapter 334 Blood Detection

We overcame the thorns and thorns to reach the other shore, opened the door to the new world, and raised the throne to the sky, so far we will be immortal.

——Bahamut, "The Wild Road"

Legend has it that after the first opening of the world, the gods began to create life with their own imagination, and put these lives on the earth, allowing them to live and multiply freely and compete with each other.Of course, this is just a way of fooling the people, and it is a joke in the eyes of wise men who really have knowledge.

The "ancient gods" who truly created the life of the race are no longer verifiable, and the gods who rule the world now are all "new gods" who rose from the barbaric era.Long before the new gods ruled the world, there were already many ancient races on this land, such as centaurs, trolls, orcs, etc. In that era, the races that could dominate one side first needed to have a strong physique, and at that time Humans are clearly not included.

The advantage of human beings lies in the adaptability of their own bloodlines. In this regard, there is almost no race other than dragons that can be compared with human beings.The blood of dragons is extremely aggressive, and it is well known that they have no lower limit in certain aspects, so they have created all kinds of strange sub-dragon beasts and dragon blood creatures.The adaptability of human bloodlines is the opposite. It is famous for its powerful assimilation ability, and it can absorb the advantages of bloodlines of other races for its own use.

Strictly speaking, the humans who now occupy the dominant position on the mainland are obviously different from the primitive human tribes in the barbaric era.This difference is specifically reflected in the fact that many unique racial talents of human beings have disappeared into history and become ancient legends.

It is said that the human aristocrats living in the southern world of Northrend still retain the ancient blood inheritance, but that is too far away for the residents of Canillas.The reason why I talked about this topic was mainly because El had doubts about his bloodline.

Compared with the unreachable Golden Gate, El is now more concerned about the second cycle of runes he has established. The two new runes involve the level of the soul, which is completely beyond his comprehension.And the rune language "Requiem" composed of seven runes spontaneously faced the same problem.I think that when Master Stephen forced him to study, he even used his sister as a reward to stimulate El's interest in learning, but because of time constraints, the anticlimax ended in nothing.At that time, El didn't realize how important he had missed, and looking back now, he couldn't help but regret it.

Knowledge is power. This sentence is not only the motto of magicians, but also the universal rule of the world.El once longed for powerful power, but when he got it, he found that he lacked the knowledge needed to control it.It's like a person who needs warmth and finally lights a bonfire, but when he finds that he has lit a forest, he has no tools to put out the fire. One can imagine the fate.

Now he urgently needs the encyclopedic girl Laurana to help him solve his problems.

"So you suspect that there is something wrong with your bloodline?" Laurana asked noncommittally as she stared at the rune abilities listed by Elro with her cheeks in her hands.

"It just feels a little bit wrong." El pulled up his sleeves and showed Laurana the rune engraving on the back of his hand—although he exited the perfect state, the seven runes that had established the second cycle did not disappear, but instead Combined together, it becomes a complex totem symbol full of mystery, engraved on the back of his right hand.He could clearly feel the power coming from this totem symbol, which was transforming his body slowly and orderly.

"Although I have had similar fantasies in my subconscious mind, the soul realm is obviously beyond my comprehension. I used to think that I could control the power of these runes, but now the awakened power makes me feel strange. This feeling is like Yes... I thought I had found my own path, but that path actually existed long ago. I am not a pioneer, but a traveler." El said worriedly, frowning.

"It does look like the inheritance of that ancient race. I heard that that ancient race has a special kind of warrior, which is called a headhunter by outsiders. They are not only excellent hunters, but also brutal spirit exorcists. Like Wear the enemy's skull as an ornament on your body, absorb the enemy's soul and transform it into your own strength... I don't remember which book it is recorded in, you can go to the bookshelf over there and look for it." Laurana carefully After thinking about it for a while, he said, "I can also check the blood for you. If there are signs of blood awakening, it will be easy to see."

"The old man who adopted me said that he picked me up from the ravine, that's pure nonsense." El looked at the black ring on his finger, curled his lips and said, "The ravine over there is full of wolves. Tiger and Leopard, how could you leave me a way out... I knew he must have something to hide from me, but before I could say anything, the old man contracted the plague and died."

"Human interbreeding is a very common thing, there is nothing to make a fuss about, and you are not those princes and nobles who insist on pure blood. But then again... If there are blood inheritance factors, then your blood is not simple. It's over." Laurana said in a rambling manner, she had already cleaned up the table and put various experimental utensils on it, with "I'm very curious" written all over her face.

In front of the curious young lady, El dared not refuse, and obediently stretched out his hand to let Laurana draw a whole tube of blood.When drawing blood, Laurana also specifically asked him to suppress all his rune power so as not to affect the blood sample.Even so, there are still dots of faint blue flashes in the drawn blood, which looks weird as if phosphorous powder has been added.

"Obviously you haven't fully digested the newly acquired power... The talent of a rune master is not something that ordinary people can possess. Maybe you are really the last prince of an ancient troll empire." Laurana placed the test tube in the After shaking his eyes slightly, he turned his head and said half-jokingly to El.

"Please spare me." El waved his hand, climbed to the bookshelf at the other end of the carriage, and couldn't help but sighed as he looked at the neatly arranged books on the shelf.Master Stephen once said to him that Gogar is a written language specially used for records.The reason why the lingua franca is common is because the grammar is simple and the communication is convenient. There are less than [-] words in total, and even rural people with no culture can easily master it.As a written language, Gogar requires rigorous grammar and clear meanings, and its vocabulary is more than ten times that of the common language, reaching about [-].

Even so, Gogal is still a basic language. Almost every race, school, and even country has its own unique language and culture. Even a language master who specializes in this field dare not say that he is academically proficient in everything.As a result, the library has become a hopeless existence. A semi-literate person like Al can't even recognize the title of the book, let alone find a book from it. It's better to let him go out and find Hagnan Singled out is easier.

Using her memory, Laurana pointed to a few books for El to look for, and then completely devoted her attention to the experiment in front of her.As for whether El can find what she wants from the book, it's not within her scope of consideration. Anyway, that idiot can't understand it, so it's better to pass the time.

"There's nothing in this book..." El couldn't help whispering after a while.

"Look at the No. 12 book on the sixth row from the right of the bookshelf on the left. I remember "Research on the History of Civilization and Race in the Middle Ages" written by Van Dieren." Laurana stared at the test tube and said casually about the book. name.

"History again? Come on, don't we have a little vulgar literature about trolls here?" Al closed the book and complained sadly.

"Vulgar books? You mean the kind of novels sold on the street? Sorry, the teacher can't put that kind of thing in his bookshelf. If you have this demand, I can make a copy for you." Laura Na said sadly.

The educational level gap between the two people is too great. Of course, the books Laurana usually reads can’t stay at such a simple level. She wanted to use this opportunity to arouse El’s interest in learning, but she didn’t expect this guy to be hopeless. Medicine, even reading a book quietly for a while is too troublesome, so I really can't have any hope for him.

"Okay, let's settle for the next best thing. There will always be records about the Sword Saint of Fallen Leaves, right?" Perhaps sensing the displeasure of the eldest lady, El pretended to be calm and patted the dust on the book in his hand, with a blank expression on his face. With an expression, he stuffed it back to its original position, and then changed the subject without a trace.

"Falling Leaf Sword Master? I have an impression of this. Look for it in the bottom row. There should be a copy of "Exploring the Northern Territory". I don't remember who the author is, but I have a deep impression of the content."

Laurana put down the blood test tube that had already shown a strange color in her hand, rubbed her temples and thought about it carefully, a strange smile suddenly appeared on her face, and said in a low voice: "I remember Cyprus, the Sword Saint of Fallen Leaves, seems to be a... gay?"

"What?!" El's hand trembled, and he threw the book he had just found to the ground.At the same time, the Dragon Tooth Bow behind his back also seemed to tremble slightly, but the movement was relatively weak, and neither of them noticed.

"Ah... I remembered, why do I feel that this person has a deep impression." Laurana shook her finger and said with a smirk on her face: "In that period of history, the four knights who followed the former king to open up the northern border Later, they all got married and established their own families, such as the White Lion. But only the Fallen Leaf Sword Master left no descendants, and he returned to the Sword Castle alone to live in seclusion, and never cared about the world."

"100 years later, the master of drama Mel Brest adapted the book "Opening the North" into an epic drama, and set Cyprus, the Sword Saint of Fallen Leafs, as the lover of the first king... In short, it is basically It's full of love. Although it has been criticized because of this setting, this movie has also shined because of it, and it is still being remade until now..."

"You are the gay! Your whole family is gay!" Cyprus's grief-stricken voice suddenly appeared in El's mind, making his brain buzz.

"Uh... that..." El wanted to speak in embarrassment.

"Shut up, don't talk to me!" Cyprus gritted his teeth, and his voice stopped abruptly, as if he had closed himself unilaterally.
