Chapter 1076: That experiment
In the library of the British royal family.
Xu Cheng saw that there were a lot of books from the Middle Ages to the modern era, including pictures, text, and paintings of the royal family. He casually picked up some books and flipped through them, and some of the books with quotes from the classics were indeed authentic.
However, because there were too many books, it was not easy for him to pick out the stories about the Duke.
While he was aimlessly flipping through the books, the door was gently pushed open and closed by William.
“Please follow me.” William said to Xu Cheng as he opened up a secret room. After the mechanism inside was activated, a dark cellar that looked like an underground Castle lit up with fire. Below was a spiral staircase with hidden compartments all around with books inside.
As William led Xu Cheng down, he opened up the boxes and took out some evidence and legends.””These are some legends about the monster. When I was young, I came here and thought it was just a legend. I didn’t think much of it. It was only later that I realized that all of this seemed to be a legend, but it actually happened in history.”
“How much do you know about that monster?” Xu Cheng asked.
William replied,’I’ve never seen him before, but from these books, I can at least understand that he’s a very terrifying monster! If he’s still alive, he’d probably be over two hundred years old. Isn’t that enough to make people feel afraid?”
Xu Cheng didn’t say anything.”You said that you’ve read all the books here since you were a kid. Then do you remember if there are any records of a certain chemical experiment here?”
William thought for a while and nodded. He went down the stairs to the bottom and found something in a secret compartment.”This sheepskin scroll seems to have recorded the so-called research you mentioned.”
“What’s inside?”Xu Cheng directly asked him.
William: “it says here that the royal family did an experimental research in the early days. I wonder if it’s what you want to know?”
Xu Cheng’s eyes lit up.
“Yes.” William nodded.”We’ll collect any records that mention him, even if it’s just a single sentence.”
Xu Cheng,’what’s written inside? Also, how many years ago was this?”
William said,”at the beginning of the 18th century, the royal family did a secret experiment. It was a very bold experiment. The names of the monsters were recorded in it. They were copachi and Edward.”
Xu Cheng narrowed his eyes and immediately asked,”what kind of experiment is this?” Why is he here? also, why were there such chemical and biological experiments during that period?”
William sighed. He paced around the corridor with the goatskin scroll in his hand as he said,””This may have to be traced back to a scandal in the royal family. In fact, we are not allowed to expose this Secret History because it records the process of Britain’s rise to decline. It is like an ugly history, but we can’t forget that it lives in the past. Every generation of Crown Prince must understand this place and understand why the past dynasties failed. We have to reflect on ourselves and use history as a mirror.”
Xu Cheng was a little impatient.”Just answer me directly.”
William said,”in the 17th century, Britain entered the stage of industrial power. It was the founder of the world’s industrial civilization. So, it’s not surprising that people in that era of talents would come up with biological research experiments.” “At the beginning of the 18th century, after the king defeated the insufferably arrogant Napoleon, Britain officially entered its heyday and replaced Spain to become the sun never sets 2.0 dynasty. However, just like those in China who wanted to be an Emperor for eternity, the king also wanted to extend his life and continue to rule and conquer the world. So, they did an inhuman experiment.”
William looked at the records on the sheepskin scroll and said,””At that time, the technology was completely inadequate, and even a lot of research experimental equipment was not safe. More often than not, a lot of people died in an experiment. When quack doctors were in power, some fatuous methods would also emerge one after another. Some scholars had done many experiments on the thin people, but they had not produced any results. In order to protect themselves, the doctors had turned to another research, which was to create a very elite talent for the Empire! Some scholars have shouted that they want to use inbreeding. ”
“Inbreeding?” Xu Cheng was surprised.
William nodded.””The probability of inbreeding within three generations is very high, but there is also a certain probability of producing geniuses. This proposition is not absolute. In the case of inbreeding, the chances of both parties inheriting the same excellent genes from the same ancestor will greatly increase. Both parties are likely to be carriers of the same excellent genes. In this way, the chances of their children having excellent talents will also greatly increase, often several times, dozens of times higher than those who are not inbreeding. Or even a hundred times. “The king of our ancestors at that time wanted an even more outstanding heir so that the Empire wouldn’t take the path of Spain. In addition, those scholars had done experiments on their close relatives, and at that time, this koparchi ... Edward became one of the test subjects. ”
“At that time, the royal family had countless illegitimate children in their unbearable private lives. However, the royal family could not expose these people as they were afraid that they would become a time bomb for the royal family. Therefore, the king gave these scholars their blessings and used the products of the royal family’s culture to do experiments.”
Xu Cheng’s pupils slightly contracted.
Therefore, the Duke was lucky enough to be the one with a one in a billion chance of success!
But on the other hand, he was also a pitiful person!
“What else do you know from these stories?” Xu Cheng asked again.
William answered,”it’s said that he has a habit of drinking human blood. The vampire legends passed down from the Middle Ages are mostly based on him. He’s not a ghost. It’s just that the royal family spread these legends to deal with him, so that generations of Europeans would kill him to hate him. However, he does need to drink blood. According to the records, anyone who is bitten by him will die!”
Xu Cheng understood that this might have something to do with the Duke’s blood poison. Not to mention normal people, even he, as a genetically enhanced person, would be affected by the blood poison. If ordinary people were infected by it, it would be like being injected with the venom of a Cobra. They would probably die on the spot!
It seemed like he had gained something today. At the very least, he now knew one of the Duke’s characteristics: he needed to drink blood to survive!
Did that mean that he needed to change blood to live?
What if he ran out of blood?
“Does he not have any descendants?” Xu Cheng asked again.
“I don’t think so,” William said,”if he could have offspring, we wouldn’t be here. In fact, he could have become King himself. Because he doesn’t have any offspring, he let us have our way while controlling us.”
Xu Cheng casually took a sheepskin scroll and curiously asked,””Then do you know how much the people know about this vampire? for example, his abilities?”
William said,”it sounds like a superhero in Marvel movies. It’s a little unbelievable.” He can dodge bullets. There were a thousand Royal soldiers surrounding his nest before, but he escaped from a thousand guns. It seems that he can fly. ”
“Flying ability?” Xu Cheng was shocked.
“It’s written on the parchment,” William nodded.”I’ve never seen it before.”
Xu Cheng thought to himself,”dodging bullets is due to the ultrasonic ability of the bat, but to be able to dodge bullets from thousands of people without any gaps, it means that this monster’s ultrasonic ability is very strong. But, it’s already shocking enough that it can fly. Could it be that this monster can completely evolve all the characteristics of an animal?”
