Georgia Territory, Waterfall Hill, Wizard Tower.
On a flat stone platform halfway up the hill.
Angel, who was wearing a white dress and tying up her long silver-white hair with a blue ribbon, reached out her right hand. Her fair and delicate fingers spread open as she flipped through the pages of the magic book "Brass Key" in front of her.
Buzz buzz buzz …
Following her invisible command, the ten sword-winged insects that were shining with cold light charged at the two beautiful Night Spirits in black and white maid dresses with ear-piercing buzzing sounds like flying swords that were flying in the sky.
However, these "Night Creatures" were no longer the same as they used to be.
Although they still maintained the appearance of a maid's dress, the close-fitting 'Venom' armor had covered every inch of their skin, giving these 'weak' Sentinels a huge boost.
"Hah!"
At the same time, the two Night Creatures let out a low roar. One of them held a Knight's Spear in her hand and threw out a large snow-white spear flower in the air. The other one waved a two-meter-tall greatsword and used brute force to create a frenzied sword storm.
Psst! Psst! Psst!
Heavy weapons had a natural advantage against the Swordwing Insects that were not strong. They were easily knocked away when they clashed with the Spear and the Greatsword. However, this kind of weapon dance without any skills could not hurt the steel-skinned and iron-boned Swordwing Insects at all.
After they were knocked away, under Angel's command, they would circle around and join in the siege again … This two-way test between the "Night Creatures" and the Swordwing Insects might continue for a while.
Now.
With the knowledge inheritance and perfect experiment records of the evil alchemists, the "School of Activation" could directly copy the homework very smoothly.
The "School of Alchemy" and the "School of Life" were of the same origin. After many years of research by the evil alchemists, the various Fusion Witchcraft in their hands were almost seamless for Elvin and Angel.
There was no feeling of "acclimatization" when transplanted into their own school.
Other than the magical materials that had already been used, such as the teleportation gate, the defensive barrier, the internal ecosystem, the Summoning Well, and other hardware that was slowly being perfected.
Angel had already replicated some of the simpler parts of the Activation School, such as the [Sword Winged Insect], [Scale Blade Fish], and [Assault Magic Shark], which corresponded to the air, land, and sea respectively. She had also supplemented the defense system of the Wizard Tower.
It just so happened that the [Brass Key] had integrated the control system of these artificial creatures, and this seized magic book was given to Angel to use.
There was another type of [Assault Demon Shark] that didn't appear in the previous battles. It was a gigantic shark that was covered in armor and could adapt to life in both fresh water and seawater. There was already a fish in the river at the foot of the mountain, but they didn't plan to expand it for the time being.
According to Elvin, a place like Waterfall Hill was not comparable to the fourth largest river in the southern part of the New World. Instead of sharks, it was better to put a few … piranhas there.
Beside him, Elvin, who was also watching the battle, commented while taking notes.
"Although I have the 'Venom' armor, there's still a long way to go before I can turn Night Creature into a combat maid. At the very least, mastery of martial arts and the mentality of a warrior isn't something that can be learned overnight.
If we throw them directly on the battlefield, it may take two or three of them to work together to match a human Knight of the same level. The price-performance ratio is a bit low, and it's even far inferior to the 'Skin Man'. "
The 'Night Creatures' and 'Venom' were a perfect match. No matter how weak their strength was, as long as they completed the transcendent transformation, they would become transcendent. While obtaining a powerful bonus, they didn't have to worry about being eroded by the transcendent 'Venom' armor.
What surprised Elvin was that.
Perhaps due to the psychological compensation effect, after suddenly having unprecedented power and obtaining a mass-produced alchemy flintlock (toy soldier assembly line) as their main weapon, they collectively chose heavy weapons as their secondary weapon.
The combat maids wearing maid dresses, stockings, and high heels while waving giant weapons in their hands were an unexpected cute point. This might be a gain that surpassed their combat strength. * Slurp *
Elvin had to admit that their value was never in the aspect of combat.
Perhaps it was related to the long-term tradition, they were very adapted to this kind of dependent life. Overall, they didn't have much ambition, but they were meticulous and could arrange a lot of things in an orderly manner.
After enriching the governor's mansion and the wizard's tower, they immediately changed the two places. Then again, even Her Majesty the Queen couldn't enjoy the service of transcendent maids.
"As expected, these specially trained wizard servants are the most suitable for serving tea and water … At least the 'Animated Guards' are fundamentally retarded and can't do such a high-tech job."
However.
The thing that Elvin valued the most about them was the "longevity factor" that could allow their natural lifespan to reach 200 years. Even if it might be accompanied by the side effects of limiting the increase of strength, the value of it was immeasurable.
It might involve 'Bloodline Witchcraft' and 'Potionology'. If it could be analyzed as a groundbreaking result, it could completely meet the requirements of Level 3 promotion.
Thinking back to the time when the Blood Hand had the 'Flawless Holy Blood' and how it could run rampant, one would understand its significance.
Elvin had the knowledge from his previous life to broaden his horizons, and knew that this kind of technology could be realized through scientific means (witchcraft).
At the end of the human chromosome, there was a repetitive DNA segment that was not expressed. Every time it replicated, a segment would be 'lost'. This repetitive segment was the 'telomere'.
The length of a normal human's telomere was about 8000- 10000 bp. In most differentiated somatic cells, about 50-100 bp would be lost every time they divided.
A normal somatic cell could divide about 50 times on average, and the cycle of each division was about 2.4 years. According to this calculation, a normal human's lifespan was about 120 years, which was commonly known as the 'Hayflick Limit'.
In addition, there was a magical substance called 'telomerase' that could maintain the length of the telomere and indirectly extend one's lifespan.
Unfortunately, telomerase activity was only maintained in germ cells, stem cells and 90% of cancer cells. Normal cells could not enjoy this treatment at all.
Elvin guessed that the average lifespan of a Great Knight was 150 years, and the highest one could live was about 200 years. The earlier one broke through, the longer one could live. This probably had something to do with it. After all, the theoretical limit of a human's telomere length was 10000 bp. If the lower limit was to lose 50 bp each time, one could live to about 200 years old.
Unfortunately, even Elvin's scientific research on biological bodies was only at the cellular level. Due to the hardware, extraordinary level, urgency, technical reserves … and other reasons, he had not delved into the genetic level for the time being.
However …
Although he could not figure out the principle at the microscopic level for the time being, he could still choose to use witchcraft for this kind of technology that was similar to bloodline modification.
Moreover, Elvin's current mental strength value was only 4.0. Even with an unlimited supply of 'Fruit of Essence' and the continuous exploration of the spiritual world, it might take half a year to a year to reach the limit.
He was only at the research stage now, and the work could be done slowly.
Elvin took out an official invitation from the Aymore family to Viscount Garriott. His biggest headache now was: "What's the matter?
'What should I give Olivia for her 18th birthday?'
.....
At the same time.
On the miracle island of Ugor Island in the southwest of the Kingdom of Faletis.
South of Galway Port, which had already begun construction under the auspices of the royal family, there was a place called 'Limerick', which meant: Barren Swamp. A large group of workers gathered here under the leadership of engineers and administrative officials.
Beside them, all kinds of construction materials had been piled up into a mountain.
Hawkins, who was dressed in an attendant's military uniform, glanced at the pocket watch in his hand. He stepped forward and walked to the side of a noblewoman wearing a gauze hat and covered in jewelry.
He asked in a low voice, "Dear Madam, it's time. Should we start the groundbreaking ceremony now?"
Hawkins was a handful of soil in Elvin's hands. He would fill in whatever was needed. The port city on Ugor Island could not be separated from him when the initial construction was launched.
It was not that Elvin did not empathize with his subordinates. It was just that the business was starting, and there were too few trustworthy talents.
It just so happened that Marchioness Nympho had also come to the Old Continent. In addition to contacting the members of the Gem School, her other task was to represent the Aimor and Garriott families to start the construction project of Limerick Port.
"Let's start."
Soon, after a series of ceremonies, Nympho personally placed a cornerstone engraved with a design into a pit that had been dug in advance. This meant that the groundbreaking ceremony was officially completed.
This also meant that her trip in the Old Continent had come to an end.
"It's going to be Hersey's 18th birthday soon. It's time to go back."
Nympho softly muttered to herself as she looked at the large construction site that had already begun under the command of Hawkins and the engineers.
But soon, she seemed to have thought of something annoying as her beautiful eyebrows slightly knitted together.
"Kristen, especially that annoying disciple of hers, followed me in the name of asking for advice. Isn't it just to find out the secret of the organic gemstone? You're dreaming. "
Then, she secretly made up her mind to let the noble and arrogant young man feel the "love" of society.
"If you dare to pester me again, I'll beat you up until even your mother can't recognize you!
If you have the ability, follow me to the New Continent. The Heimar Kingdom's navy that once beat up Shilius might not even be in the top five in the world now, right? "
Snap —!
She lightly snapped her fingers.
When a beautiful butterfly that looked like it was made of emerald flew up, the Marquise's graceful figure quietly disappeared into the air.
[Natal Gemstone — Emerald — Dream Tour]: Break the fortress between dreams and the material world. Allow the wearer to freely travel in the form of a physical body and even use the Spiritual Realm as a transit point for ultra-long distance teleportation.
On the sea to the west of Ugor Island, a young man dressed in a desert style rode on a water elemental seahorse and was looking in the direction where Nympho disappeared.
The young man was as handsome as a woman. He had long blonde hair, a pair of crystal glasses on his nose, diamond earrings, shiny lip rings, gemstone arm rings, and golden anklets. His ten fingers were full of rings.
Although he also had a "noble" aura, he somewhat resembled a non-mainstream delinquent who was spoiled by his family.
His name was Ariel, and he was indeed of noble birth. Although his ranking was very low, he was still a legitimate prince of the Heimar Kingdom with the right of succession.
Apart from the Gemstone School's First Seat who had lived for an unknown period of time, he was also the proud disciple of another Grade 3 Great Wizard, Kristen. He was a Pinnacle Wizard.
"I must have the technology of this artificial gemstone! Great Wizard, you will feel my sincerity! "
It was no wonder that he was so interested in the technology of organic gemstones. His natal gemstone was a Morganite (Peach Pillar Stone), which was of the same family as Emerald and Aquamarine. They all belonged to the Beryl family.
[Natal Gemstone — Morganite (Peach Pillar Stone) — Unlimited Tamed Monsters]
Effect: Every 100-carat Morganite can allow him to permanently contract a powerful monster from another world. The monster's strength is directly proportional to the size of the gemstone. After that, there is no need to provide additional offerings.
However, among natural gemstones, this gemstone was rarer and more precious than Emerald. Not to mention, it was also limited in size. Therefore, even if the Natal Gemstone did not require any spiritual attribute, it could not bring him an unlimited army of Tamed Monsters.
Unlike the support function of the nymphs and Olivia's life gemstones, the number of gemstones he had was directly related to his strength. Although the Beryl series had not appeared among the gemstones sold by the nymphs, he believed that the technology must exist!
He took out a round ball from his armband. It showed all the seas he had been to before. He tapped on it lightly.
Splash!
Waves surged, swallowing him and his water elemental seahorse at the same time.
[Secret Treasure of the Sea — Limitless Passage]
Effect: Able to teleport to any place with seawater. Use once a day.
