One Thousand and Seventy-Seven: That Experiment

Inside the British Royal Library.

Xu Cheng saw that there were many royal treasures from the Middle Ages to modern times, as well as pictures, texts, and paintings. He randomly picked up some books and flipped through them. Some of the books citing scriptures were indeed authentic.

However, because there were too many books, it was difficult for him to specifically select the part of the story about the Duke.

While he was browsing aimlessly, not long after, the door was gently pushed open by William and closed.

"Please come with me." William said to Xu Cheng and opened a secret room. After opening the mechanism, a fire was lit in the dark cellar similar to an underground castle. Below was a spiral corridor with hidden compartments all around. There are books inside.

As William led Xu Cheng down, he opened these grids, took out some evidence and legends, and said: "Here are some legends about that monster. When I was a child, I came here and I only thought it was a legend. Listen. I didn’t take it seriously, and only later did I realize that all this seemed like a legend, but in fact it seemed to have happened in history.”

Xu Cheng asked him: "How much do you know about that monster?"

William: "I have never seen him, but from these books, I can at least understand that he is a very scary monster! If he is still alive, he may be more than two hundred years old. Just for this reason, shouldn't he Are people scared?”

Xu Cheng said nothing: "You said you have read the books here since you were a child. Do you remember whether there are any records about a certain chemical experiment?"

After thinking for a while, William nodded, continued down the stairs, went directly to the bottom floor, found it from a hidden compartment and said: "This parchment seems to contain the so-called research you mentioned."

Xu Cheng asked him directly: "What is recorded in it?"

William: "It says here that the royal family conducted an experimental study in the early days. Is that what you want to know?"

Xu Cheng's eyes lit up: "Is it related to that monster?"

William nodded: "We will collect any records that mention him, even if it is just one sentence."

Xu Cheng: "What's written in it? Also, how many years ago was this?"

William: "At the beginning of the 18th century, the royal family conducted a secret experiment, a very bold experiment, and the names of the monsters were recorded in it, Capache and Edward."

Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes and asked quickly: "What kind of experiment is this? Why is he there? In addition, why were there such chemical and biological experiments during that period."

William sighed, pacing at the bottom of the corridor with the parchment scroll, and said: "This may be traced back to a scandal in the royal family. In fact, we have no choice but to expose these secret histories, because these histories record the history of England. The process from prosperity to decline is like ugly history, but we cannot forget that it lives in the past. Every generation of emperors/princes must understand this and understand why past dynasties failed. We must review and learn from history. .”

Xu Cheng was a little impatient: "Just answer me directly."

William: "Britain entered a stage of industrial power in the 17th century and was the founder of industrial civilization in the world, so it is not surprising that someone would come up with biological research experiments in that era of talented people. In the early 18th century, after the king defeated the After Napoleon I, England officially entered its heyday, replacing Spain and becoming the Empire 2.0 Dynasty on which the sun never sets. However, just like those of you in China who want to become the emperor of the ages, the king also wants to extend his lifespan and continue to rule. To conquer this world, they conducted an inhuman experiment.”

William looked at the record on the parchment and said: "The technology at that time was completely inadequate, and even many sophisticated experimental equipment were not safe. More often, many people would die in one experiment. Quacks were the rule. At that time, some stupid practices were emerging one after another. Some scholars did many experiments on human thinness and crossbreeding, but all of them had no results. In order to protect themselves, the doctors turned to another research, which was to create a very elite talent for the empire. ! Some scholars shouted that they should be cultivated with close relatives."

Xu Cheng was surprised: "Creating blood from close relatives?"

William nodded: "When close relatives carry on the family line, the probability of a fool within three generations is very high, but there is also a certain probability of a genius. This proposition is not absolute. In the case of a close relative's marriage, both parties inherit the same excellent genes from their common ancestors. The chances will be greatly increased. Both parties are likely to be carriers of the same excellent gene. In this way, the chance of their children having excellent talents will be greatly increased, which is often several times or dozens of times higher than that of non-consanguineous marriages. , or even hundreds of times. And our ancestor king at that time wanted a better heir than him to prevent the empire from following the Spanish path, so someone set up the rule of intermarriage among royal members; in addition, those Scholars conducted experiments on close relatives, and at that time, this Capt. Edward became one of the test subjects."

"At that time, the royal family had countless illegitimate children due to their unbearable private life. However, the royal family could not expose such people and kept them for fear that they would become time bombs for the royal family. Therefore, the king fulfilled these scholars and used the knowledge of these royal members to Experiments were made on the products of the wind/flow.”

Xu Cheng's pupils shrank slightly.

Therefore, the Duke is very lucky to be the one with a success rate of one in a billion!

But on the other hand, he is actually a poor person!

"What else do you know about these stories?" Xu Cheng asked again.

William responded cooperatively: "According to legend, he has a habit of needing the blood of prostitutes. Most of the vampire legends handed down from the medieval century are also based on him. He is not a ghost, but the royal family spread these rumors in order to deal with him. Legend has it that generations of Europeans hated such a monster and beat him to death, but he did need to drink blood, and according to records, anyone bitten by him would die!"

Xu Cheng understood that this may have something to do with the Duke's blood poison. Not to mention normal people, even he, as a genetically upgraded and powerful person, would be corroded and uncomfortable by the blood poison. Those ordinary people who are contaminated are no less than being injected with the venom of a large area of ​​​​cobras. Almost, he probably fell to the ground and died of poison on the spot!

It seems that today's visit is not fruitless. At least I know one of the characteristics of the Duke, that is, this man needs to drink blood to survive!

Does that mean he needs a blood transfusion to stay alive?

What if he runs out of blood?

"Does he have no descendants?" Xu Cheng asked again.

"Probably not." William said: "If he could have descendants, there would be no us. In fact, he could be the king by himself. Because he has no descendants, he gives up to the virtuous but controls us."

Xu Cheng casually took a parchment and asked curiously: "Then do you know how much the vampire folk know about him, such as his abilities?"

William: "It sounds a bit like a superhero in Marvel. It's a bit weird. He can dodge bullets. A thousand royal soldiers surrounded his lair before, but he escaped from a thousand guns. It seems that he can still Has the ability to fly.”

Xu Cheng was surprised: "Flying ability?"

William nodded: "I haven't seen what it says on the parchment."

Xu Cheng thought to himself: Dodging bullets is the result of bat ultrasonics. But being able to dodge thousands of bullets without any leaks means that this monster has strong ultrasonic capabilities. However, it is surprising that he can fly. Could it be said that this monster Is it possible to completely evolve all the characteristics of an animal?
