Life and death were two sides of the same coin? Nature and the undead balanced each other? Any ordinary nature mage or druid would have probably fought to the death with the person who said such a thing.
For many people, faith was more important than life. Even though modern life had gotten rid of excessive faith, habits, culture, living environment, and racial history would cause faith to become a type of restriction, a type of morality, a type of law, a type of common sense, a type of instinct, and a type of mental foundation that would never be questioned.
However, Rorschach was different.
He had no faith in life, nor did he fear the soul. Modern medicine, which was based on anatomy, exposed flesh, blood, bones, cells, and tissues to the world.
The unknown brought faith, and distance brought fear. Being an omniscient or half-informed scholar was the job class that was least likely to become a scammer, but it was also the job class that was most likely to become a devout scammer.
Rorschach, who had no such restrictions, immediately threw all thoughts of religion, faith, nature, and death to the back of his mind. He wholeheartedly devoted himself to a new field, a job class that seemed to have been prepared for him.
"So, the human body is actually an exquisite machine. Every organ is an important component. Blood vessels and bones are gears and chains. The power of life (positive energy) is the power source for this machine. And, if the machine breaks, negative energy (undead mana) is also an acceptable alternative power source."
Rorschach spoke such blasphemous words and did such things that disregarded so-called faith and common sense.
In this day and age, undead magic was also a type of magic that the Mage Country could accept. As long as one was willing to spend money, one could find a specialized teacher anywhere in the Cloud Tower to teach undead magic.
Originally, Rorschach had intended to find a teacher to teach him the basics of undead magic. However, to his surprise, he didn't encounter any difficulties in learning undead magic at all. He could understand any textbook he read. That mysterious sense of familiarity didn't feel like he was learning new magic. It felt like he was revising a subject that he had mastered long ago but hadn't touched for several years.
Originally, Rorschach had thought that the Land of Dreams would reject the power of the undead since it was a half-plane that contained the power of nature. He had even prepared to rent a temporary laboratory outside the Land of Dreams. However, not only did the Land of Dreams not reject the power of the undead, it even faintly increased the power of the undead.
Rorschach was able to understand the teaching materials as soon as he read them. His experiments were bound to produce results. His mana was abundant. Rorschach experienced a high-speed learning period that he had never experienced in his entire life.
Level 1, Level 2, Level 3. He couldn't see any bottlenecks at all. Inexplicably, Rorschach reached the threshold of Level 4 … And it wasn't a bottleneck. It was simply that he didn't have enough time. The time for the annual summary meeting was approaching.
What made me even more speechless was that the second elemental heart was still only a theoretical topic. Rorschach's research had yet to reach a practical realm, but he didn't waste any time at all. He …
"The second elemental heart wasn't settled, but the second undead heart was settled …"
Rorschach's fervent research yielded expected results. What Rorschach didn't expect at all was that undead magic, which was supposed to be his field of reference, was the first to produce results.
"It's probably because there are far too many secrets about life. Undead are pure magical lifeforms, and they can move as long as they're given energy, so they aren't that picky. After all, even those incomplete zombies and skeletons are capable of moving …"
What Rorschach said was an explanation that could only deceive himself, but what was placed in front of him was an unusually chaotic experiment result.
"Let's give it a try first."
Rorschach wouldn't go so far as to use his research results on Isabella. In his opinion, it was the same as committing murder.
After all, for a research result to go from theory to reality, from a concept to a practical product, it would require several generations or even dozens of generations of improvements.
If it involved health care or medical treatment results, it would require several years or even dozens of years of clinical trials to confirm that it was safe and effective.
This had nothing to do with the technology itself. It was just that the product's practicality and applicability had its limits. A drug that was effective on A might be fatal to B, and without clinical trials, nobody would be able to say for sure what the problem was.
This required a large amount of time, money, resources, and experimental subjects. It would take several years or even more than ten years to reach a final conclusion.
Did that mean that he had to wait? Of course not. It was possible to use it. After all, most new drugs on the market weren't completely safe and harmless. As long as it was effective, he could use it.
However, no matter how daring Rorschach was, he wouldn't directly use this technology on Isabella.
"At least three or four years, and I still have to collect high-level Blood Breeds as experimental subjects. Money to invest … Forget it, I can't even meet a single condition, so what's the point of thinking so much about it?"
Was there a way to quickly produce results that didn't require any money, and would allow the experimental subjects to come to him voluntarily? Rorschach thought about it. It was better to talk in his sleep at night.
But today, looking at the invitation on the table, he suddenly clapped his hands.
"There really is one!!"
