Chapter 1343 - Law of Darkness (1/2)

Lin Yun frowned and looked at Myers. The illusion of a wheel appeared in his eyes and revolved slowly. A few seconds later, Lin Yun shook his head in disappointment.

“This is still too bad. The melting rate is only 5%. It was already lucky enough for you to survive after absorbing the crystal monster’s bloodline, and it was even luckier for you to advance into level 5 of the Heaven Rank. There’s an advanced part in the crystal monster’s bloodline that matches you well.

“Under normal circumstances, you cannot possibly get any stronger. However, you’re quite lucky. If you find a level-40 Earth Bear and absorb its bloodline, twice as much as you did from the crystal monster, you may gain more potential.

“It will be best if the Earth Bear has already mastered Earth Breath…”

Lin Yun’s words struck Myers’ soul like a lightning bolt. Immediately, he understood a lot of things.

Who said that it was only possible to transplant one creature’s bloodline?

If one creature’s bloodline matching rate was too low, and couldn’t be changed on its own, it could be changed in other ways. To combine the bloodlines of two foreign creatures at a certain ratio might not give him as much power as either of them would’ve, but it would be more stable, and carry more potential.

The main problem with bloodline transplantation was never insufficient combat ability, but instability in bloodlines and the lack of potential…

Was it better to be forever stuck in level 5 of the Heaven Rank, and even be unable to fight with full strength, or to slightly lower one’s combat ability for the hope of getting stronger, and even seeking a breakthrough?

Anyone whose brain wasn’t damaged knew what to choose. Besides, as long as the bloodline stabilized, even if their combat ability slightly dropped, their performance in battles would be better than before.

Myers trembled with excitement. He thought for a moment, and realized that although the solution seemed simple, to find out the perfect combination of bloodlines required complicated research.

Even if the way had been pointed out for him, he couldn’t possibly find the most suitable combination without hundreds of years of studies at the risk of killing himself.

Lin Yun smiled. He suddenly felt that Myers was pathetic and admirable. On the path of magic, there were always people who fell, paving roads with their blood and bodies, and pointing out the wrong directions for future generations.

There had been countless failures on Noscent mages’ way forward before the one success which pointed out the right way. The people who failed countless times earlier couldn’t even be remembered in history.

Getting to the bottom of it, the Thorny Crown was just some sort of pioneers. Without the lunatics who would sacrifice everything for greater power, the Thorny Crown might not have been so notorious in history.

After all, in the skyrocketing period of Noscent’s civilization, there had been countless novel ideas that were tested with blood and life.

Myers was so thrilled that his soul was trembling, but in only two minutes, he held back his excitement, and bowed at Lin Yun deeply.

“Sir Merlin, I don’t know how I can thank you. I cannot thank you enough even in 1,000 years—”

Lin Yun waved his hand and interrupted Myers. “Enough. No need to thank me. You’ve suffered a huge loss recently, yet you did the Gilded Rose so many favors. This potion is just a return of the favor.

“As for working for me, let’s talk about that later.”

Hearing that, Myers became anxious. That man’s casual remark had pointed out a new way for the Thorny Crown, which was at a dead end. Also, it was a groundbreaking new direction, where the Thorny Crown could make great progress!

Moreover, the man’s unknown potion had made his transplanted bloodline truly melt with his own a little bit. That was completely unimaginable in the past.

The foreign transplanted bloodlines were unstable, and might cause counterattacks mostly because they contained external power. They were sort of special magic tools in a way, and not the mages’ own power.

However, if the bloodline was truly melted into their own, then its power would become the mages’, and could be passed on to their children.

Only a mage’s own talent and power could be inherited. No matter how powerful the foreign bloodline they transplanted was, their children might just be average mages who didn’t have any special abilities.

They meant entirely different things! The gap was as huge as that between two planes!

He had seen so many returns, and gotten to know Lin Yun better. The Thorny Crown had made a decision too. How could he give up?

“Sir Merlin…”

Myers was so anxious that he was sweating. He thought that the matter was already settled, and didn’t expect this turn of events.

Lin Yun waved his hand.

“Let’s talk about that later. There’s something that I need you to investigate. A god from the past was reborn in Noscent. I don’t know where he is exactly, but based on the leads from the Starry Sky College, I’ve confirmed that he was reborn somewhere in the central part of the Odin Kingdom. The books of the Starry Sky College don’t mention anything else.

“I hope that you can look into the leads. If the god has been successfully reborn, I want to know who he is, and what his race is. If he is not reborn yet, I want to know where he is.

“Here’s the information I’ve found. There are some obvious features that you may use as leads…”

Myers accepted the folder in delight. The investigation sounded very hard, especially when a god was involved. There was even no telling when he was reborn, but only a rough period, which had a span of a millennium.

After browsing through the information, Myers had a rough idea about the difficulty of the mission. But it only made him happier, even though he was not confident of accomplishing it.

He wasn’t afraid that Lin Yun gave him challenging tasks. In fact, the more challenging, the better. He was only afraid that Lin Yun didn’t need them, which would be a huge problem.

Calming himself down, Myers considered the information he just read.

“Sir Merlin, it happened a very long time ago. If nobody noticed anything back then, it’s going to be difficult to find anything right now. Also, if the god’s soul has been reborn in the form of another race, it will be even harder to find him.
