Suddenly, a strange thought came to Merlinsera's mind. "You mean —"
Roddy immediately said, "If you can transform your body in this direction, does it mean that you won't have to absorb energy from other planes like fetching water every time?"
She didn't nod or shake her head. She continued to stare at the lizard. "The key is … how did it do it?"
To make an inappropriate analogy, if the "magic crystal" of a common demon beast was a gasoline engine, then the elements in this plane would be gasoline, and the elements in another plane would be diesel. When the diesel entered the gasoline engine, there would definitely be problems. Even the "dragon crystal" could not convert these two completely different things into one.
But this lizard in front of her had obviously broken common sense …
In fact, Merlinsera had thought of forming a "Magic crystal" herself. After all, she had once possessed the "Dragon Crystal", so she knew very well what it was like to have "infinite" magic power in one's body. After losing the Dragon Crystal, she had spent a lot of effort to find a way to "form" a "Magic crystal" again. To be honest, she wasn't the only one who thought of this. Throughout history, there were countless Magicians and Alchemists who wanted to grow a Magic crystal in their bodies.
The Magicians envied the magical beasts and Dragons for their powerful magic power and lifespan, so they tried to find a way to form one.
The Alchemists were even crazier. They thought of "transplantation" … which was to directly place the Magic crystal of another creature into their body.
But both attempts ended in failure. The Magicians who tried to form a Magic crystal ended up with too many crystals in their bodies, which blocked their blood vessels and caused them to die. The Alchemists were even more heroic, and all the relevant records exploded into ashes on the spot.
These documents made the excited Merinsera's heart turn cold, but the discovery made her overjoyed. At the same time, Merinsera realized that she had made a mistake. Could it be that the 'Magic crystal' is actually an alternative? There were originally no magical beasts in this world, but for some reason, elemental creatures from other planes came here. They didn't have summoning stones to sustain their lives, so they could only try to protect themselves …
Roddy suddenly thought of Darwin's Theory of Evolution — the "natural selection" he had learned in biology class seemed to be able to explain this phenomenon. "Magic crystal condensed by some kind of coincidence, adapted to the environment here and survived. As for those without a Magic crystal, their genes retain this memory. Thus, when a magical beast reaches a certain age and strength, it will automatically condense a Magic crystal … "
"What are genes?"
Merinthra could understand everything else because the records of the Dragons already had similar descriptions, but this was the first time she had heard of the term "gene".
"It's … something that is engraved in the bones when it is passed down through the bloodline. This is a general term. Some animals are born with the ability to hunt, or can breathe fire not long after they are born. These are all so-called 'hereditary' traits. Of course, this is a huge proposition and theory, and we don't have the time to explain it in detail now. But I think you should be able to understand what it means. "
Merinthra nodded, but after a few seconds, she tilted her head and looked at Roddy. "You know more than I thought, and … this doesn't seem to be something that humans can conclude."
After living in the human world for a long time, she was naturally aware of the limits of human knowledge in this world. However, the two of them didn't have the time to discuss the problem of "genes". She squatted down and carefully observed the lizard. But because it was too small, she couldn't dissect it on the spot, so the information she could obtain was limited.
"Since we can prove that this is a suitable method, we can formulate a detailed plan to explore it. Don't worry, I will capture more elemental creatures for you to study in the future. If we can prove our conjecture, then … I'm afraid you won't be the only one affected. "
Roddy's words made her expression turn solemn. Because if it was proven that the "Magic crystal" was produced by an alien species to protect itself, then … what about the Dragons?
This involved the origin of the Dragons, and it might seriously contradict the theory of the Dragons …
Of course, this wasn't something that needed to be considered now.
"If we want to continue researching this topic, I'm afraid I'll need your help."
"No problem!"
Roddy immediately agreed.
The two of them continued to talk about other topics, while the Elemental Lizard worked hard. After completely solidifying the other tower, it finally exhausted its energy and became dispirited.
"Alright, come back and rest."
Roddy put the lizard back into the summoning stone. The data showed that it would take more than two days for it to fully recover. It seemed that the lizard had used up a lot of energy last night.
With its help, the two towers that were almost 24 meters tall were permanently solidified and stood tall in the night sky. On the other hand, the mages who had long been prepared began to use magic to aid in the pulling of ropes to the other side of the shore. After connecting the ropes, the engineering company began to hang the heavy metal chains on the tower. When it was almost dawn, they began to quickly lay the wooden planks that had already been made onto the bridge cables that had already begun to take shape.
All of this was obviously the result of many drills and experiments. The soldiers didn't get dizzy and worked blindly. Every step was coordinated by a team leader, and the construction sequence and time were strictly determined. Everything was done in an orderly manner.
Roddy and Merinsera didn't leave. They found a nearby place to rest. Perhaps it was because they hadn't chatted like this for a long time, but when they left, the unfamiliarity caused by not seeing each other for two years finally disappeared.
Merinsera was in a good mood because she now had a new and clear direction to work towards. Also, the research on the Magic crystal had to be done with Roddy. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile.
Roddy, on the other hand, looked into the distance, but he couldn't see the enemy's camp at all. According to the camouflage regulations, the construction company had created a large area of thick fog to block his vision. This way, even if the enemy scouts came, they wouldn't be able to see the main body of the suspension bridge until they were 100 meters away.
When the sun shone on the two towers, the infantry troops, two "Vulcans", and four "Groundhogs", who had been quietly transferred from La Xia City and the ferry, were already in position on the north bank of the suspension bridge.
The five-meter-wide suspension bridge was covered with wooden planks, and the soldiers quickly climbed onto the bridge. The distance of more than two hundred meters took less than three minutes to cross under the condition that there was no traffic. The chariots, which had used the levitation spell to reduce their weight, easily crossed the bridge. The army of more than two thousand people crossed the bridge in less than half an hour, and after some simple adjustments, they began to march toward the enemy's camp in formation.
