In the laboratory, Xia Duo disposed of the blood samples that had become like tofu in front of him with a bitter look on his face. He found that he had overestimated himself a little.
Even if he took advantage of the cloning technique's effect on blood proliferation and differentiation, he still couldn't find the results he wanted after wasting nearly half of his blood.
Next, even if all the remaining half of the blood is used up, it is unlikely that there will be any qualitative changes. Perhaps the goal should be to use blood as a substitute for spell casting elements.
Although the prospect of detecting various data from one drop of blood or multiple points of blood is wonderful, it is estimated that it will be difficult to make any qualitative breakthrough in a short period of time.
After realizing this practical problem, Xia Duo also decisively became realistic. However, if the remaining half of the blood is used as a substitute for spell casting elements, it is estimated that it can only be used once.
There is also the issue of volunteers. Xia Duo does not want to target himself in experiments. After all, there is an upper limit to the use of immortality.
In addition to the theoretical upper limit of life extension, in practice, the number of life extensions also needs to be as small as possible. It is best to superimpose more life data on one life extension, otherwise, it may affect the effect of the next life extension.
Xia Duo felt that it was not worthwhile to sacrifice his own future life extension effect to pay for the elves, but if his blood was used to extend the life of others, it would be difficult for him to accept it psychologically.
Just when he was hesitating whether to collect blood again for experiments, a letter finally came from Severington, which made Sha Duo temporarily relieved.
Although he really wanted to stop the follow-up mission, the matter itself had nothing to do with him personally. These troublesome matters should be considered by the Seven Towers!
The person who summoned the messenger was Iolum, and what he said was not what Shaduo expected. The Seven Towers indeed chose to agree to the request of King Akora, but there were some changes that Shaduo didn't expect.
"Teacher, do you want to go to Akola in person?"
"Yes, I am the only one who knows the art of immortality best. I am afraid that others will not be able to extend his life before next year as requested by King Akaola."
Upon hearing this, Xia Duo suddenly had a bad premonition. If this had not happened, Akaola Mian Wang's request might have been overreaching. But if this happened, then Akaola Mian Wang's request would have been too much.
It's more like a pre-planned conspiracy.
The elves may only be guessing, but Shado is very clear about the importance of Iolam to Netheril.
Although his absence does not affect the final birth of the Mithron Core, in addition to these, as the president of the Alfa Federation that maintains balance in all aspects, Iolum's role is difficult to be replaced by others.
Even if Iolum goes there in person, he still uses ectoplasmic projection, but ectoplasmic projection is not omnipotent. At least Shado has several ways to limit or harm the body of ectoplasmic projection.
If the elves really have a conspiracy, they may lay a foolproof trap, and then it will be like "the sky will not respond, and the earth will not work."
"Teacher, can you please slow down this matter? Haven't you often mentioned the threat from the east before? Could it be that the threat is not Comanso, but Akora? Or maybe Comanso secretly planned this?
A trip to Akola?”
Akora is also in the east of Netheril. Shado's explanation is not completely unfounded. What's more, prophecies, divine revelations and other inductions have a lot of truth, as long as you believe it.
After listening to Sha Duo's dissuasion, Iolum fell silent. Just when Sha Duo thought he had said something wrong, Iolum's reply finally came belatedly——
"Some things must be done no matter what the cost, I believe you can understand this!"
Shado can certainly understand, but from his point of view, the situation at hand is far from reaching the point where Iolum needs to take the initiative to sacrifice.
So what if Akora eventually falls to Cormanthor? As a human country, shouldn't we be ready to be enemies with all elven countries?
As the saying goes, "Those who are not of my race will have different minds." Maybe you shouldn't look at the other person through colored glasses during normal interactions, but you should always have a plan to protect yourself!
Could it be that the existence of Netheril to this day is all dependent on the care of the external environment, and it has not played even the slightest role on its own?
Shado believed that even if Netheril did nothing in a short period of time, Akora would not be able to unilaterally overturn the agreement formally signed between the two countries. If time went on, it would not be certain who would break the agreement first!
In his view, now is a critical moment for the research on the Mithron Nuclear (Independent Arcane Fire Device). As the key figure in coordinating all parties, Iolum is best to keep calm and remain unchanged in response to any changes.
.
At this time, you really shouldn’t take the risk of going out, and going out for an extended period of time.
Even if Iolum does it himself, it won't take as long as a month, but it won't be completed in two or three days. The longer the time, the greater the variables.
If something happens, you will regret it.
The Seven Towers knew about the existence of the Miser Energy nuclear project, and they should know the importance of Iolum. Sha Duo didn't know whether the Seven Towers had tried to dissuade Iolum, or whether they simply believed that there was no problem on Akora's side.
, but he still wanted to persuade him again.
Therefore, Shado told Iolum about his idea about blood testing, and suggested that he was already looking for the possibility of using blood instead of the heart as a material for swift plan spells.
"Your idea is very good. When the research on independent arcane fire devices is successful, we may be able to open a new subject."
"No, teacher, you know that's not what I'm talking about, but using blood instead of heart as the material for quick spell casting. Although it may be detrimental to long-term life extension, when used on elves, do we need to worry about that long term? You know Akao
King Lamian would not have survived this year, if it weren't for us!"
After Xia Duo finished replying, Iolum fell into silence again, and this time the silence was longer than the previous one. It was so long that Xia Duo almost thought that the other party had gone to Akola.
But fortunately it didn't.
"I just tried it. It might be feasible to use blood as an alternative casting material. Come to Severington and we will discuss it again."
After receiving the news, Shado knew that Iolum was temporarily persuaded by him, but the details still depended on the results of the next experiment.
Then, he briefly explained to Niya and set off with half of the remaining clone blood from the previous experiment.
…
Sevington, Officine Union.
As soon as Xia Duo walked out of the teleportation room, he received a teleportation request from the tower spirit. After casually agreeing, the next moment he was teleported to a laboratory that he had never seen before in the Arcane Federation.
Iolum, Brod, Lowe, and even Burgess, Olsson, Galvani and others were all there. Seeing this scene, Shado couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Iolum was not a simple person.
Instead of trying to deal with him, really consider his alternatives seriously.
