There is no difference in essence between blood and heart. In Chateau's view, both of them contain the most fundamental characteristics of a living thing.
In earthly terms, blood and heart are both carriers of genes, and it is the genes that really work, not the carriers.
Of course, the principle of immortality is different from that of cloning. The former focuses more on building an [immortality data model] based on a certain creature, which is much more complicated than cloning.
From a practical point of view, there should be some differences between the model derived from the heart and the model derived from the blood.
But since both blood and heart contain the most fundamental characteristics of living things, does that mean that theoretically, it is possible to construct an immortality model based on this kind of creature based on this root characteristic, which may be called "bloodline"?
It is indeed feasible in theory. To say the least, as long as the blood is cultivated into a complete body through cloning, wouldn't it have many more parts than a heart?
However, a single individual of the same race can provide limited corrections to the longevity model based on one race.
This makes it possible that such a special immortality technique can only be used on individuals with close blood relationships, and does not have "racial universality" in a certain sense.
If the target that needs to extend life is humans, then Iolum has made a lot of preparations in advance and already has a relatively reliable human version of the universal immortality spell.
But Akora Crown King is obviously not human.
There is no way to use ready-made spells, so we can only temporarily create a special version.
Now, the biggest problem facing Xia Duo is to use only blood to obtain an immortality model that is close to or even exceeds the effect of the heart.
This has nothing to do with race, it's just a shortcut on a prerequisite step.
If this can be clarified, it will also have extraordinary positive significance for continuing to improve the longevity model of the human race in the future.
At that time, there will be no need to dissect corpses or track human body movements for a long time. All data collection will be completed by simply drawing a drop of blood.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo was much more motivated. He was not only for the current special situation, but also for the longevity of the future magical civilization!
…
At the same time, in Severton, in the permanent meeting room of Gustav Tower, a discussion about the incident in Akora was also going on intensely.
After repeatedly confirming the source of the information from Iolum, Badigal's expression immediately became extremely exciting, and his pride was almost beyond words.
Not long ago, when Netheril signed a mutual defense agreement and concerted action agreement with Akora, he disagreed with it from the beginning and suspected that there was a conspiracy. However, he would not oppose the Seven Towers decision just because of his opposition.
But now, it turns out that Akora is not as honest as they showed before!
"Horn, what do you have to say now?"
"What can I say? I didn't say that Akaola must be trustworthy at the beginning. I just put the kind of agreement that guarantees profit without loss. No matter what conspiracy there is, you should sign it first and then talk about it. If you don't sign it, you would be a fool!"
"Then what do you think we should do now?"
"What else can you do? Either wait until next year to see if they regret it, or agree to their request now. Apart from these two, do you have any other options?"
Looking at Horn's normal expression, Badigal, who was choked twice by the opponent, had an obvious expression of displeasure on his face.
But just before he was about to explode, Randall, who had not spoken a word since the call, suddenly said: "Actually, we have only one choice, and that is to agree to the other party!"
"Why?"
"It's very simple. The current external environment requires us to exercise restraint, or to put it more easily for you to understand, there are no obvious signs of betrayal in Akora, so why should we force them to the side of Cormanso?"
Badigal was silent. Although he could understand it intellectually, it was difficult to accept it mentally. "But if the other party keeps doing this, do we have to give in every time? Just rely on them?"
"Yes, as long as fundamental interests are not involved, we need to make concessions every time. This is in line with our interests in the greater direction! Of course, the specific operations need to be determined according to the specific situation, and it is certainly impossible to make unconditional concessions."
Having said this, Randall glanced at the others and continued: "Instead of discussing whether to agree to the other party's request here, it is better to discuss what conditions we should put in place after agreeing to their request."
"I agree with Randall."
"I agree too."
…
Several great arcanists expressed their opinions one after another, and Badigal could only nod reluctantly. This scene was almost a replica of the last meeting, but compared to the last time, this time he felt more aggrieved.
But at the same time, he also constantly reminded himself not to let personal emotions affect the overall situation.
After adjusting repeatedly for a long time, he regained his composure and participated in the following discussion.
"The Northland Alliance is going to redefine the territorial division of the Northland countries. There will be a private consultation in half a month. It is best for Akora to publicly express his support for us before the consultation."
"How could they refuse this kind of condition that is insignificant and has nothing to do with them? It's too cheap for them! If you ask me, let them open the secret lock. Just pinch their secret lock.
We are not afraid that they will renege on the agreement in the future."
"How could they agree to such conditions? If it were you, would you agree? I would say it would be better to let them open up part of the Mystery Lock technology. On the one hand, Ilfarang has already provided some of it to us, so it is not a taboo.
It is easy for them to accept it, and on the other hand, the Mystery Lock technology is indeed what we need now."
…
The discussion on asking for benefits from others is not intense. Although some people's requests are more biased towards their own interest groups, overall, it is beneficial to the Seven Towers and Netheril as a whole.
After a while, the seven people discussed a rough idea. Finally, Badigal also asked Iolum, who was watching, for his opinion on behalf of the Seven Towers:
"Master Iolum, do you have anything to add to our decision?"
"No, I have nothing to add."
Iolum still maintained the consistent style of him and his predecessors. As long as it did not involve fundamental interests, he generally did not make any comments on the decisions of the Seven Towers.
Of course, this is just the discussion stage. The seven great arcane masters of the Seven Towers cannot fully represent the huge and entangled interest group of the Seven Towers. Afterwards, they will still need to discuss, negotiate and compromise within their own bodies.
In the end, at least one such top-level negotiation is needed to come up with the final plan.
