The villain knight doesn't want to be a hero

He took out his cell phone and made a call.

Not long after, Arasaka's motorcade arrived.

They moved all the elves present up in an orderly manner and injected them with sufficient amounts of sedatives to ensure that they could sleep soundly until dawn.

After handling everything at the scene in just a few minutes, he took more than 40 elves and flew to the Biological Research Institute in Arasaka.

Chapter 378 You saved a life, Eredin

Elves, a classic race that appears in countless magical stories.

They are proud, elegant, long-lived, close to nature, and good at magic....

If the content is less serious, then most of these elves will become the favorites of orcs, tentacle monsters, demons and other races.

Or because of low fertility and the weakening desire of males in the race to reproduce, such tasks have to be outsourced to humans... or something.

But the elves of Ain El are considered different.

While fitting most of the above descriptions, one thing is that the Elves of Ain El are not the pacifists that people imagine them to be.

On the contrary, they followed the path of feudal militarism.

And the army that is known as the "Wild Hunt" in many worlds is the slave-catching team they use to capture slaves across the world... But now the target of the hunt is Ciri, and Still the focus of arrest.

After all, this involves the survival of their entire race.

Although it makes people want to complain about good elves who don't play Seese and insist on playing militarism, but overall it is not unacceptable.

But there was only one thing that seemed outrageous to Lin Qiao - that was the strength of these militaristic people with long ears.

I don’t know if it’s a common problem among longevity species, their balls hurt when they’re idle.

Art, philosophy, mathematics... Ain El Elf is full of points in these aspects.

Even because of his proficiency in magic, he also pointed out the ability to travel around the multiverse through cross-world teleportation.

But how to say it well...

I remember there is a saying: If aliens attack humans, the only resistance of humans is to strive for peaceful coexistence.

After all, reality is not a Hollywood movie where one person can turn the tide of the war.

To put it bluntly, the overall civilization level of the two sides is too different.

Facing a civilization that can cross the sea of ​​stars, human nuclear weapons are basically no different from larger cannons.

Throwing it out will only make the alien gentlemen happy.

But the elves of Ain El are different. Their military development... is really hard to describe.

They have obviously developed such a jaw-dropping thing as cross-world teleportation, but they still use melee weapons.

It feels like aliens are invading the earth in a star battleship, but using ordinary sticks and bows and arrows is ridiculous.

Even though the physique and reaction ability of elves are much stronger than that of ordinary humans, and the fact that they have magic is also a plus, but overall they can only bully pre-modern humans at best.

On the other hand, humans find it difficult to even fly away from their home planet, but they are very capable of using all kinds of powerful weapons.

After reading it, I don’t know whether I should say that these elves love peace.

And what's even more outrageous is that although they have always regarded humans as uncivilized monkeys, there is no reproductive isolation between elves and humans....

From a genetic perspective, the relationship between humans and monkeys feels more like the relationship between wolves and dogs.

But complaints are complaints, the help provided by these elves to Lin Qiao was quite great.

The first is the internal intelligence of the elves.

Even though Illerith seems to be a big fool, as the core commander of the Wild Hunt, he still knows a lot of information.

For example, why did Eredin and Caranthir, whom Lin Qiao originally wanted to trap, not come this time.

The reason is also very simple - there is really no room for it.

It is important to capture Ciri, but the problem is that these two people really can't spare their time to arrest people.

After all, Eredin still gave the Elf King medicine, although his original intention was to give the old Elf King some medicine so that the Elf King could quickly produce an heir with Ciri and regain the ancient blood... .

But the Elf King’s body doesn’t allow it!

In short, regardless of the original intention, Eredin's regicide is a foregone conclusion.

If this matter had not been dealt with, let alone capturing the Ancient Blood to avoid being destroyed by the Hoarfrost, it is estimated that he would not be where he is now - his good brother Gale, who is loyal to the Elf King and is also the second-in-command of the Wild Hunt. The first one will not let him go.

Because of this, even when faced with such an important matter as the capture of Ciri, Eredin could only send his other confidant, Ileris, while he stayed in the Elf Kingdom to deal with related matters.

"Tsk, he really lost his life."

If this thief had been killed in advance, there wouldn't have been so many things later.

Having said that, if that's the case, there's nothing more to say.

As for finding someone in the Elf Kingdom itself, it was not part of Lin Qiao's plan... After all, he had a limited range of activities.

And if you go to the base camp opposite to find trouble, you'll be in trouble if you get cursed or something if you're not careful.

And beyond that, it’s the study of ancient blood.

Originally, when Lin Qiao was studying Xili's genes, she discovered that the child's genes were different from ordinary people in some small way.

He previously thought it was the key to the power of ancient blood, but after capturing enough samples, Lin Qiao probably knew what it was.

Strictly speaking, it was the elf blood in Ciri that was so thin that it was an unknown percentage... After all, the source of the ancient blood, Laura Doron, was an elf.

She is also one of the Elf Sages and the daughter of the Elf King.

But I understand, but the analysis of the ancient blood is still unclear.

These gene fragments belonging to elves only determine that the owner's appearance and physical fitness are much stronger than those of ordinary humans, but it is a bit far-fetched to say that they are related to ancient blood.

Lin Qiao even took the risk of forcibly modifying the genes of one of the three captured Wild Hunt navigators into a human shape.

Although the whole process was not considered a friendly inter-racial exchange, judging from the final result, it did not affect his ability to use his abilities.

"So is it actually related to the soul?"

Although there is no actual evidence, based on the current research results, this possibility is very high.

Even Ciri and the Navigator, who he had used his own genetic factors to completely restore to 1:1 mimicry, were unable to exert any power of ancient blood.

And if this is the case, it would explain why the elves of Ain El did not create a second Ancient Blood, but instead chased Ciri.

Lin Qiao didn't know how the elves in the past could achieve the miracle of Laura Doran, but even the magical world itself couldn't figure out the soul. What matters is uniqueness...

So anyone who builds a Gundam and doesn’t have any blueprints will die in misfortune!

But in any case, it is currently almost impossible to analyze and reproduce the power of ancient blood through scientific methods.

At least the technology of 2077 cannot do this yet.

Maybe the only thing that is still possible is to create a clone based on Ciri's genes, or to create a test-tube baby more simply and effectively...

But for something that could be done easily, Lin Qiao hesitated for a long time.

Chapter 379 The most basic bottom line of being a human being

Reason told Lin Qiao that this was an extremely cost-effective deal.

But a certain persistence buried deep in his heart that had disappeared a lot told him that if he did such a thing, he would lose something important.

"...Obviously I have killed many people, including many innocent people, and I say this without emotion, but..."

Why are you bothered by this kind of thing?

Looking at the edited email in front of him that could be sent to the Institute of Biology at any time, Lin Qiao could not make a decision for a long time.

Although similar thoughts have arisen before, thinking and doing them are completely different things.

Just like when people see the news on TV, they always say what they would do in another situation, but if they really change their positions, they can't say what will happen.

While thinking, Lin Qiao accidentally looked through the build phones that had been redeemed from the system.

The photo album inside has not been updated in a long time - the most recent one was probably taken almost two years ago.

It seems that from that time on, he no longer cared much about these things.

Unknowingly, the photo album turned to the beginning.

It was a little shy girl who was making a "yeah" gesture - Fueguchi Hinami.

Although mobile phones had not yet been built in the ghoul world, and the one he originally used was broken, it does not mean that there is no way to restore it.

The system is always useful.

Back to the point.

Looking at the little girl in the photo album who once called her "big brother" behind her, Lin Qiao's thoughts drifted into the distance.

It was also the rainy day when she and Miss Ryoko were exposed. If it were me now, would I still go up to help the other person out of so-called passion?

Frankly speaking, it was really difficult for Lin Qiao to come to a conclusion on this issue.

At this moment, the automatic sensor door of the room opened... He remembered that he had locked it.

"I said, I didn't give you the ICE virus just to hack my door lock... I'd better knock on the door."

Lin Qiao sighed, with a helpless expression, and made useless complaints to Lucy who came in uninvited.

"You've been in your room for two days, what's wrong?"

He didn't answer Lin Qiao's words.

Lucy walked in and looked at the paper documents reduced to ashes in the trash can.

In order to avoid network surveillance as much as possible, even in 2077, extremely important documents within each company will still be recorded or transmitted using paper documents.

Even if it is slightly inferior, they develop their own secret protection programs or use offline devices.

His eyes fell on the computer screen in front of him - although the fonts on it were not large, the content on it was clearly visible.

"Are you still thinking about Xili?" After some hesitation, he asked tentatively.

"Almost...but I'm still a little confused."

The swivel chair under him twisted sideways.

Lin Qiao turned around, thought for a while and then added thoughtfully, as if talking to himself: "I always feel that if I do something like this, I will lose something important, such as not being like myself or something..." ..."

Or something like the bottom line of being a human being.

Of course, all this can be hidden from Shirley and others, and even the memory can be erased for the sake of one's own image.

But the only person who can't hide it is himself.

Whether it is human cloning or in vitro fertilization, it is easy to create a new life, but the difficult thing is to deal with it afterwards.

After all, he wasn't trying to clone a sheep or some other creature.

Rather, they are living human beings with the ability to think for themselves.

To create one or more beings like a blank sheet of paper, and then put them on the operating table to conduct some kind of experiment... To be honest, this has exceeded the bottom line of human morality.

——Some things cannot be explained reasonably without emotion.

"Ok?"

Just when Lin Qiao was still a little dazed, Lucy came over and sat on his lap for some reason.

He was a little speechless at Lucy's affectionate behavior.

"...You are not a child anymore, are you?"

His well-developed figure made the swivel chair beneath him feel a lot of pressure.

It would have been fine a few years ago, but now... it feels better?

"But for me, coincidence has always been coincidence and it has never changed."

"Hasn't it changed?"

"No."

"..."
