Chapter 552 The Wine of Eternal Life and the Tears of Time
Hearing Freya's words, the expressions of Aiwass and Sherlock suddenly changed.
They looked at each other and determined something in each other's hearts.
"——That's more than just broken!"
Master Yanis seemed to see the sky falling, and was the most panicked person in the room: "I have to inform His Majesty the Pope immediately... This is too dangerous! You are doing such dangerous things, why don't you tell me
One sound?"
"I just didn't tell anyone. This is the safest way."
Freya tried hard to argue: "If you tell anyone, there is a possibility that it will be leaked."
But now, these words seem a bit pale and weak.
After all, if she really didn't tell anyone, how could this bottle of "Tears of Time" disappear out of thin air?
If you want to accurately steal a drug that a fifth-level transcendent is synthesizing and is very concerned about, the risk is not small. It is comparable to stealing an egg that is hatching from the female dragon watching the nest.
Unless the other party has a very clear direction and knows that it has extremely high value, it is possible to get involved in a dangerous situation.
"No, I have to go find Cardinal Loki."
Master Yanis still looked panicked: "You have to explain to him how important you have lost and ask him to help you find it! He monitors the entire Theocracy every day, and this is the time to use him.
!”
Upon hearing this, Aiwass and Sherlock looked at each other again.
Then Aiwass immediately dissuaded him: "Don't worry, Master Yanis."
"Is such that."
Sherlock on the side also nodded in agreement.
Seeing this reaction from both of them, Yanis immediately reacted: "Can't we talk about this? Or...is there something wrong with Cardinal Loki?"
"Hard to say."
Aiwass shook his head and said rigorously: "It's not absolutely certain yet."
"If you are not 100% sure, you have to leave some room. Even if you are 95% certain, the remaining 5% may be reversed."
Sherlock raised his cane and tapped the ground with a very serious expression: "Because it is entirely possible that it is a trap to deceive impatient people."
"——In other words, Cardinal Loki is indeed suspicious?"
Yannis keenly captured the information from the attitudes of Aiwass and Sherlock: "No wonder... Gloria... Controlled Fire..."
She also immediately thought of the death of Gloria she had just heard about.
Gloria Blue Rose's condition improved a few months ago, but now her condition suddenly worsened. After killing someone, she committed suicide in front of Ning Pa.
Is there a possibility that "Tears of Time" has taken effect on her?
If Freya really didn't tell anyone, then perhaps only Cardinal Loki knew about it - as Yannis just said, Cardinal Loki continues to monitor the entire Theocracy.
If he has the ability to find the thief who stole Freya's laboratory... then he can also steal it without anyone noticing. As long as he knows what the bottle of medicine is used for.
——It was like a corpse was quietly stuffed into Aiwass's room.
"How many people can your 'third' use?"
Yanis suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked.
Freya's expression was a little ugly.
She also realized that she was in big trouble here, her voice was a little weak, and became softer: "If it takes effect slowly, there will be enough for about a dozen people. Let a healthy elf have a Ningpa attack in a short time and
To crystallize, only three drops are needed.”
"Then if," Aiwass suddenly asked, "the other party has coagulation syndrome, can the dosage be reduced as appropriate?"
"That's right." Freya nodded.
She paused and took a breath.
Considering the purpose of "Controlled Fire", she suddenly realized what Aiwass was trying to say.
"The number of dead people involved in this incident may be far more than these dozen people."
Aiwass said slowly: "Let's assume - let's just assume. Let's assume that Gloria's death is related to it. Then this matter should at least be related to controlled fire, and there is a high probability that it will be related to controlled fire.
Cardinal Loki.
"So, what would happen if the 'Tears of Time' fell into the hands of Extreme Controlled Fire elements?"
"——The catalyst for the situation."
Sherlock on the side replied crisply.
Dark blue flames ignited in his pupils, which was a sign that he was thinking with all his strength and resonated with the path of wisdom: "Compared with making healthy elves sick, the more useful meaning is to make the already condensed elves die quickly. In other words
, this is a kind of 'execution drug'. Just like Gloria, it quickly shortens the duration of their illness...and in the process, special mental illness may occur, or the spirit may be extreme, or even appear.
Hallucination——"
Sherlock said and walked quickly to Freya: "How are you sure it can make the elves freeze?"
"Principle analysis...do you want to listen to it from the beginning?"
"No need. In other words, you haven't conducted human experiments yet?"
"...What experiments can I do?"
Freya was also a little helpless.
"Then you'd better tell me the principle."
Shylock followed suit: "I don't know much about alchemy, it's best if I can understand it."
Although Freya didn't like this familiar man very much, she was obviously aware of Sherlock's reliability and knew that she was in trouble.
Therefore, she explained to Sherlock very seriously: "This goes back to the immortality of elves. Through the analysis of elves' blood samples and the blood of giant trees, I found that the long lifespan of elves is actually unnatural. Once the body tissues of elves leave the body,
, the speed of cell aging will increase significantly, causing the parameters of physiological samples to be seriously inconsistent with expectations——"
"I can probably understand it. But is there a more precise way of saying it?" Sherlock pondered for a while and then confirmed.
Freya simply replied: "To put it simply, the life span of elves should be similar to that of humans. It is indeed longer, but it is definitely not more than twice as long as humans."
"--What?"
Hearing this, the other three were shocked.
Yanis opened her eyes wide: "That means...?"
In the past few days, Yannis has suffered a series of huge blows, and extremely exciting news has come one after another.
"That's right, as of now... the elf's immortality, amber, and indifference of desire are all inherited gifts that are acquired."
Freya nodded and confirmed: "Essentially, it is equivalent to the Griffin being promoted from an ordinary extraordinary creature by the Silver Crown Dragon; or the Wild Hunt being promoted from Weizhe.
"The physical parameters of elves are definitely not enough to support them to live for such a long time and stay young for such a long time.
"And you all understand that... when it comes to abnormal extension of life span, that is the realm of the twilight path.
"Yes, this gift comes from Lingbo Tiansi. The popular 'life-extending potions' currently on the market are all based on the research of this phenomenon - they are also the same as the research on the 'wine of eternal life'."
——This is simply a heretical research result.
This means that elves are not actually immortal, which directly denies the nobility of elves.
According to Freya's research results, elves are equivalent to another type of human being who automatically takes life-extending potions every year since birth. Therefore, half-elves can only inherit a small part of the long lifespan of elves, and if the bloodline is diluted again
It has almost no impact on lifespan.
Even Aiwass has never heard of such outrageous knowledge.
...No, that's not right.
Aiwass opened his eyes slightly.
He seemed to have heard similar statements.
That was after Yanis used the fragments of Lingbo Tiansi to draw a magic painting and went crazy. The Theocracy's Ningbo disease was lifted. Therefore, they believed that the Ningbo disease was a curse from Lingbo Tiansi.
But then a strange "abnormal aging phenomenon" appeared in Theocratic State, which was suspected to be the sequelae of the forcible release of the Ningbo disease in this way. However, this part of the plot only has a beginning and no follow-up.
But what if... it's not a disease?
As Lingbo Tiansi's power dissipated, the elves' long lifespan began to decline.
——Gradually transform into short-lived species.
Transform back into their true form.
However, the culture of the elves has adapted to immortality and is used to the unscrupulous consumption of life span. Their leisure, plainness, calmness, and fairness all come from "no urgency".
And if the elves realize that their lifespan is about to decline, unimaginable chaos will come... and it is even possible that the position of the entire race will be reversed.
That will no longer be a simple sequelae, but the beginning of the decline of the entire race.
