Chapter 553 Threatening Letter to Gray

"...I initially thought that Miss Freya came to the Theocratic Country to study."

After a long silence, Sherlock said: "I didn't expect you to cause such a big trouble."

Although Freya did not further explain the relationship between the Wine of Eternal Life and the Tears of Time, everyone obviously understood.

If the immortality of elves comes from the gift of Lingbo Tiansi, then the life-extending methods such as the wine of eternal life are actually to obtain part of Lingbo Tiansi's power.

But these life-extending measures come at a price.

The side effect of the life-extending potion from Star Antimony is that it only extends the life of the body but not the life of the soul. Therefore, living too long will lead to a disconnect between the body and the soul, and will be easily killed by the necromancer.

The life extension of the elves obviously also extends the soul.

——The side effect is "Ningpa".

The elves have a history of thousands of years and several generations of glorious civilizations. But Ningbo could never be cured.

The fundamental reason is probably because... Ningpa is not a disease at all. Like arborization, it is a deformation caused by the influence of the power of the road.

The elves are the descendants of the giant tree, and the blood of the giant tree flows in their bodies. Because of this, the purer the bloodline, the easier it is to become a tree; similarly, the more blessings one receives from the Lingpo Tiansi, the easier it is to become a tree.

That’s why those half-elves born in other places cannot turn into trees or condense into amber!

It is because their bloodline is too impure that they cannot transform into trees; and because their lifespan has declined, they cannot become amber!

"Therefore, if you want to cure Ningbo, you may have to dispel or neutralize the gift from Lingbo Tiansi. But that may cause the elves to start aging rapidly... My research is currently stuck here."

Freya held the bottle of "Tears of Time", looked down at it, and said softly: "The active ingredient of the wine of eternal life is the gift I extracted from the amber 'Elven Gem'. Its function , in fact, it is to add a small amount of elven blood to people - this part of the blood will not make people become amber, but it can indeed increase their life span.

"I have taken it myself and its safety has been verified on myself. It can effectively prolong my youth...There is nothing I shouldn't drink.

"As for the 'Tears of Time'... it is the active ingredients of the wine of eternal life that have been further purified and condensed, and then radically catalyzed to make its symbols manifest in excess. It can be used as a material for preservation techniques to greatly strengthen preservation. The effect of the technique.

"According to my calculations, if taken in small amounts, 'Tears of Time' can also permanently provide a part of the upper limit of the earth attribute mana pool for people with no elf blood; for half-elves with partial elf blood, taking Tears of Time should purify My own blood may also cause death; but for pure-blooded elves, it is a deadly poison because I have taken the wine of eternal life, so I will not take it again."

"...I have a question, Freya."

Yanis raised her hand slightly and asked dryly: "I heard that you alchemists...encrypt your own formulas. Even if your finished products are analyzed by others, the real formula cannot be found... …”

If there were only a dozen people, or even thirty or forty people... it might cause turmoil, but at least the impact would not be too great.

But if the formula of "Tears of Time" is cracked and deduced...

The entire group of elves will suffer disaster!

"——I know, I will too."

Freya interrupted.

"That means-"

Yanis's eyes lit up.

But it was quickly rejected by Freya: "But I can't encrypt it in the semi-finished product. It will only cause trouble for myself and make it unclear to me what the specific ingredients are."

"...In other words?"

Yanis was almost desperate and asked with a sense of luck.

"I know what you're going to ask."

Freya thought for a moment and replied: "The fourth level... may be a bit difficult.

"Only at least the fifth energy level can it be possible to steadily work backwards from the finished product and analyze my formula - provided that the person who stole my medicine can store the medicine correctly:

"It must be kept in a brown bottle, away from direct sunlight, and away from vigorous shaking. The temperature cannot exceed 150 degrees, nor can it be lower than 6 degrees. And it cannot be exposed to oxygen and water for a long time at the same time, and a black curtain must be used at night Put it on to avoid being illuminated by the light of Venus, otherwise the effect will decline rapidly. I have not sent it into the dream world, and I am not sure whether its properties will change in the dream world, but I think it will, so it cannot pass through the altar. to deliver it.”

"Sounds fine..."

After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s hard enough just to avoid shaking it too hard, avoid moisture, and still keep it sealed. It is basically impossible to transport it by water to Star Antimony for analysis. In the Theocracy, there is no alchemist at the same level as Freya.

...Unless it's Professor Moriarty.

Aiwass added in his mind.

He wasn't sure about Freya's attitude towards his biological father, so he didn't dare to say it directly.

Although Aiwass had never seen that guy at all since he came to the Theocracy...but he always felt like he was always with him and would appear in any event.

"Wait, sister Freya, you just said... half-finished product?"

Aiwass suddenly realized something: "Then what did you originally plan to do with Tears of Time?"

"It's not difficult to just dissolve the gift - just like if a person's liver is sick, you cut it off and replace it with a new one. But you can't just cut it without replacing it, that's the same as killing someone."

Freya crossed her arms and answered simply: "The grace of the gods and pillar gods can be offset by committing an equal amount of "sins" on the corresponding path. So I think - it's just that I think at present that those active elves are not easy to amber because they offset part of the gift, so the amber phenomenon is reversible. If it is really a disease, then the part that has already ambered should not regress.

"But the problem is that once the blessing is completely eliminated, the life span will be shortened. I must find a way to prolong life without ambering to make up for the treatment. The Tears of Time is my "artificial liver". "

Hearing this, Aiwas' heart moved.

--He thought of his "dates".

It seems to be able to dissolve amber.

The fruit of sinthorn... could it be "sin" in it?

He wanted to raise this possibility with Freya, but he didn't have those fruits on hand. It would be better to wait until the next time his eyes grow fruits and bring them to Freya to see.

"Why don't you destroy them first?"

Jannis looked at the bottle of Tears of Time with some fear: "I feel a little flustered when I look at it... What if the remaining ones are also stolen? Compared with the progress of amber disease, I think it is more important to prevent it from spreading further... Anyway, you remember the formula, right? Maybe the other party didn't store it properly, destroyed it directly, and then came to find it? "

Knowing that Freya was synthesizing this deadly substance for which there was no antidote, Janice couldn't have been watching all the time.

And Freya herself couldn't hear anything when she was working. It was really easy to be stolen.

The other party only took one-third last time, but maybe they will take it all next time?

"...Alas."

Freya sighed: "I only extracted this little bit in three months..."

She felt a little distressed, but she also knew that Janice was right.

She could only put it on the heating container next to her, watching it quickly become turbid with a painful look on her face - it looked like it was about to cry.

The originally stagnant liquid like oil became clear and transparent under heating.

"What I am most worried about now is whether the person who stole this bottle of medicine will harm Grey..."

Jannis frowned: "There are still two weeks...March 3rd is the day of the Pope's election. If those crazy people with controlled fire cause Grey to condense on the spot, it will be a big trouble...Is there any definite evidence to report Cardinal Loki to His Holiness the Pope? "

"…The bad news is that there is no such thing. Because it may not be him - there are too many clues about him, and this may be misleading. "

Evans replied: "The worse news is that the other party does have ill intentions towards Her Highness the Saint.

"Because Gloria is a friend of Her Highness the Saint, and so is Bishop Mercedes - one of them killed the other, and the body was placed in my closet. If it weren't for the unexpected situation that day, the body should have been discovered by Her Highness the Saint herself."

At that time, Aiwas just thought that this might be to stimulate Gray's spirit and intensify her amber.

But now, after investigating the information about the "Tears of Time", a poison that is 100% lethal to elves, especially those who have begun to amber, the meaning of this matter is completely different.

This is a "threatening letter".

The meaning is also very simple.

-The next one is you.
