"Xia Duo, I'm just waiting for you. Regarding the blood replacement plan, you can explain it to Brod and the others."
"no problem."
While paying attention to the furnishings in the laboratory, Xia Duo explained to everyone, "I once obtained a very magical spell that can multiply and differentiate part of the active blood into living creatures that are completely identical to its original form.
"To put it simply, if I have your fresh blood, I can create another living copy of you. Compared with your original body, the copy only lacks the soul."
"Huh? This spell - if the soul is projected into the clone, wouldn't it be similar to the flesh-and-blood version of ectoplasmic projection?"
"Broad, don't talk too much. Let's hear what Xia Duo has to say first."
Chateau glanced at Brod, who had the same idea as his, but none of his clones were mature yet, so there was no way to talk about experiments or anything like that.
"That is to say, in theory, blood alone contains all the information of a biological body, and there is no problem in replacing the heart or even other tissues.
"The current rapid life-extending solution for replacing the heart with blood is only a shallow application. I believe we will be able to research it soon."
After saying that, Xia Duo took out the cloning technique learning scroll that he had prepared in advance and gave a copy to everyone present.
"This is the cloning technique! If the people from Jilan Tower saw it, they would go crazy!" Brod couldn't help but joked after briefly looking at the spell scroll.
But Iolum reminded him, "This is Shado's magic. You know the rules. If he doesn't agree, you are not allowed to spread it."
"Yes, yes, we know." Brod and others agreed.
Even though Shado was prepared for the exodus as soon as he took out the cloning technique, he still felt a little relieved when Iolum said this.
And he also believed that Brod and others would abide by the rules of the game, otherwise it would be a slap in Iolum's face.
…
Everyone in the laboratory is the best among Nese mages. The cloning technique itself is not complicated, but some elements may not have been touched before, so you need to be familiar with it.
In fact, even if Xia Duo gets a new spell and cannot understand the principle in a short period of time, there will still not be many obstacles to the spell casting itself.
As for understanding, it can be done slowly during the experiment.
In fact, Iolum paid much more attention to this temporary research project than Sha Duo imagined. In addition to bringing in all the original members of the independent arcane fire device project team, he also brought in all the original members of the independent arcane fire device project team before Sha Duo arrived.
During that time, the experimental materials were arranged.
Just when everyone expressed their understanding of the cloning technique, the experimental materials were delivered in time——
Four old, rickety orcs, and the blood of their corresponding kin!
Xia Duo originally wanted to use his own blood to hit it first, but he didn't expect Iolum to be so efficient. As for using orcs, he didn't expect it either.
He originally thought that Iolum might choose a more familiar human to test the alternative first, but he didn't expect that it would be a foreign race.
Shado felt that if elves were not rare and sensitive, Iolum might be more willing to directly use elves for experiments.
The four orcs were all imprisoned by spells and could not move. They could only express the hatred and fear in their eyes that could not be resolved.
When looking at these four orcs, Sha Duo couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy in his heart. It was not that he put himself into the orcs' perspective.
Instead, he thought that if there was a more powerful race in the future, it believed that the existence of human beings was unnecessary, and then killed humans wantonly and conducted various experiments on humans.
How difficult it is to accept that situation!
If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is an unbreakable truth no matter where you put it!
Of course, no matter how deeply Xia Duo felt, these four orcs could not escape the fate of becoming experimental subjects.
Even if they finally survived all stages of the experiment and even regained their youth as a result, Shado believed that Iolum would not let them walk out of this laboratory alive.
In fact, Xia Duo was still a little too optimistic. These orcs could not even survive the first stage of the experiment, "Applying the Immortality Model."
Of course, the experiment itself was not dangerous, but these orcs, or more accurately the orc shamans, somehow broke through the confinement of the spell and were killed by the protective measures in the laboratory.
Although there were some difficulties in the beginning, under Iolum's arrangements, a steady stream of old orcs were sent to the laboratory.
In the end, Xia Duo felt a little numb. Treating these orcs with obvious emotional reactions was not much different from treating a piece of rotten wood.
…
After the review discussion in the evening, Sha Duo returned to his residence in the Austrian-French Federation and lay quietly on the bed alone, carefully reflecting on the changes in his mentality today.
In addition to realizing the preciousness of life more and more, I also became wary of such experiments that were indifferent to life.
This time, he did not wait until the next morning, but reorganized the previous memories of the day and even all subconscious activities before going to bed.
He felt that today's series of experiments had a great impact on him, and he needed to re-examine everything that happened today and make judgments based on his previously unaffected archived personality.
This meditation training lasted for a long time, and it was not until dawn that Sha Duo completed the identification and archiving of all memories and consciousness.
It's not that he doesn't allow his way of thinking or personality structure to change, but he doesn't allow changes to occur beyond his control.
Or to put it in more popular terms, Xia Duo wants to have a truer self and dare to face the truer self.
Today, he has achieved the ultimate in "introspection" proposed by the sages in his hometown. In this magical world where gods and demons dance, perhaps the self is the thing he can best grasp.
…
The next day, the experiment continued.
Since after a night, the supply of experimental materials became much more abundant, so in order to speed up the research, Iolum asked everyone to conduct experiments separately, and also increased the frequency of seminars.
Of course, it was also on this day that the Severnton Council formally responded to the request of King Akora. In addition to promising to provide a more moderate rapid life extension plan, it also proposed twelve reciprocal conditions.
These include acknowledging support for Netheril's territorial division plan, further opening up magical exchanges and commercial exchanges between the two countries, and opening up some myth-locked technologies.
As the secret envoy who has not yet resigned, Xia Duo still has the right to know these contents, and he even knew the reaction from Akaula immediately——
Except for the technical aspects of opening the mystery lock, Akora almost completely accepted the new conditions proposed by the Seven Towers.
As for the content related to the mystery lock, it is said that they are still under discussion, but this matter can basically be said to be settled, if no major accidents occur.
