Chapter 897

The news of the murder brought by Sergeant Grayson poured a bucket of cold water on the people who were having fun in the ballroom.

While discussing the circumstances of the murder, people also showed inner panic.

Before the facts of the case came to light and the murderer was arrested and brought to justice, no one could guarantee that he would not become the next victim.

Under such circumstances, no matter how hospitable Mr. Kaufman was and how charming Mrs. Josephine was, they could not make the atmosphere of the ball lively again, so they had to end hastily.

Early the next morning, Joan put all the luxuries and fantasies of last night out of his mind, and refocused on his own research.

Mrs. Josephine verbally agreed to assist him in the research on "Insectized Bloodline", but did not agree on an exact time. Joan was too embarrassed to take the initiative to inquire, so she could only patiently wait for the other party's visit.

Before that, he still had a difficulty to overcome, which was to try to get rid of that "naughty" worm-like bloodline encryption spell--3rd ring "Poison Strike".

The reason why this spell is called "naughty" is not that the spell itself is intelligent, deliberately messing with Joan to prevent him from seeing his own structure, but because this spell was born out of the same name, and still retains a trace of divine magic. .

Divine art and arcane art, as two major categories of magic, have many overlaps with each other.

Many spells, both divine spells and arcane spells, have almost the same spell structure, the only difference is the energy that drives the spell.

However, there are also many divine spells, which are encoded with a code similar to the "anti-theft" function at the beginning of their creation, preventing outsiders from stealing their spell configurations.

Divine spellcasters such as druids and priests do not acquire new spells by learning, but by "apocalypse" or "divine grant", and automatically master the corresponding spells after leveling up.

Although warlocks and poets are arcane spellcasters, they acquire new spells either by inheritance, mutation, or inspiration, not by hard study anyway.

That way, things are pretty obvious.

Most mages advocate knowledge sharing and are willing to exchange spells with their peers and exchange ideas.

Most of the spells invented by mages are "open source", and they don't have the idea of ​​cherishing themselves at all. They wish that others would learn his works, spread his reputation, and quote his papers.

It would be even better if colleagues would conduct in-depth research on his theoretical basis and develop a school of thought!

As long as the encrypted spell is deciphered by a mage, it will probably not be long before this spell will become an open source scroll in the public library, and anyone who is interested can spend money to copy a copy.

However, not everyone has the same concept, especially among divine spellcasters, there are not a few conservatives.

These conservative clergy believe that spells are the embodiment of divine grace and proof of piety, while mages are mostly unbelievers. If there are any unique magic spells that are copied by mages and spread all over the world, it is equal to their own beliefs. Being profaned by unbelievers is of course intolerable!

Encrypted spells such as "Poison Strike" are clearly aimed at the mage profession, preventing them from deconstructing pirated versions and spreading them wantonly.

As a mage, Qiao An is also an "open source advocate". He thinks that sharing knowledge is a kind of fun, but he is a little annoyed at being guarded by others as a thief. He secretly swears that he must crack this "anti-theft code"!

The question now is how to make the interpreted spell configuration obedient and stable.

If you want to persuade an object to obey an order, there are nothing more than two strategies, using emotion or understanding.

However, what Qiao An is facing now is just a spell. It is not a living thing at all. It has neither emotion nor wisdom. Its own configuration determines that it must avoid observation from the outside world. What can be done?

Joan's brain is wide open. If he can turn the matrix of the encrypted bloodline spell—that is, blood—into a living thing, it will have feelings, and if he tries to make it gain some wisdom, then he can understand it and act. With affection, try to persuade it to be obedient?

This idea sounds nonsensical at first, but the spark of genius always shines in places that ordinary people think are impossible.

Joan did not easily abandon this seemingly absurd idea, after some in-depth thinking...

Needless to say, this method... might really work!

Joan rubbed his hands excitedly, quickly sat down at the desk, opened the experiment log, picked up a pen and dipped in ink, and wrote down this new idea.

After sorting it out, Joan has a clear plan for what to do next, which is divided into five steps in sequence.

First, of course, some blood is needed as a sample for the experiment.

There is still some blood left from Joan's blood drawn from her body last time, and it is stored in a green ice freezer.

He opened the refrigerator, took out a reagent bottle from it, placed it on the reagent rack, and performed a "magic trick" on the frosted bottle wall to restore the blood to normal temperature.

After that, Joan opened the stopper of the blood storage bottle, and softly chanted the incantation into the blood.

"Eala!"

When he finally uttered an activation incantation symbolizing "life and soul", the blood plasma in the bottle was successfully blessed with the 2nd-level spell "secondary activation item", as if injected with vitality, and trembled slightly.

Yes, although the human body cannot live without blood, blood itself is not a "creature" with a soul, but an "object" without life.

The blood separated from the human body is nothing more than a "solvent" mixed with many alchemy ingredients, and it is not fundamentally different from ordinary river water.

Since this is a liquid object, of course, it can be used as the target of the "secondary activated item", injecting the vitality transformed from magic power into it, making it temporarily become a living thing.

This is the first and most critical step in Joan's entire plan. Only by ensuring that the blood can be activated can the next plan be pushed forward.

The result of casting the spell made Joan heave a sigh of relief. The plasma in the reagent bottle turned into a small group of crimson mollusks that resembled a "slime monster". It shook its soft body and tried to climb up the vertical bottle wall without fixing it. The shape of the body is also stretched along the bottle wall in a long strip.

When it was about to climb to the mouth of the bottle, this little "plasma slime" finally couldn't resist the pull of its own gravity, slipped down from the smooth wall of the bottle, fell to the bottom of the bottle, and gathered into a ball of red "jelly" again. ".

Joan smiled slightly, picked up the blood storage bottle from the reagent rack, then took a wide round shallow glass dish, poured "plasma slime" out of the reagent bottle, and made the little thing along the slope The wall of the bottle fell into the glass dish rolling and crawling.
