Chapter 139: Marriage Customs and Transformation
However, what Leo couldn't understand even more was that the people in the Ten Towns didn't have any objection to this method of intermarriage. Instead, they highly praised it, and even some nobles imitated it. This was in a civilization with an industrial system and a certain amount of knowledge.
It is extremely rare in society.
Even among the magical alien races in the Earth's federal universe, only a small number of alien races have such incest due to physical defects, and they themselves do not agree with this practice.
Inbreeding is not only a backwardness in the civilized system, but also a big problem in biological reproduction. Almost everyone in the Earth Federation knows that incest will lead to a high chance of deformed children in the offspring. With the current situation in this dream world,
It is not difficult to prove this at the medical level.
There is no need to use any medical level. The endless deformed and imbecile children among the descendants of nobles who intermarry with incest are enough to prove the error of intermarriage.
However, the residents and nobles of Ten-Towns and Silverymoon City turned a blind eye to this, because all the descendants of the Alcott family's incestuous marriages did not have a single imbecile or deformed child. Instead, each of them had a handsome appearance and outstanding talents.
wisdom, so they all believed that this was the result of incest, and the reason why they had this adverse reaction was just because their methods were somewhat wrong.
The most peculiar thing is that a wise wizard should have put a stop to such absurd thoughts and behaviors, but in fact the wizard played a role in fueling the incestuous marriages of the Alcott family.
Although the wizards of the Wizards Association did not expressly support the Alcott family's inheritance custom of incestuous marriage, they secretly suppressed those children of the Alcott family who were not incestuous when the Alcott family chose the rulers of the Ten Towns.
, and at the same time, it is obviously to build momentum for those Alcott family children who have intermarriage, and the closer the blood relationship between the two parties is, the greater their support will be.
Several of the diaries acquired by Leo came from marginalized members of the Alcott family. None of their parents were incestuous within the Alcott family. They all mentioned the Alcott family more than once.
The power structure of China also uses the degree of blood intimacy between the two parties to determine the status of incest. They don't know why there is such a status ranking system. They just know that anyone who wants to resist this system regardless of status
No matter how high, even the ruler of a lake town will eventually disappear inexplicably.
When Leo carefully analyzed the blood inheritance of the Alcott family, the first thought that came to his mind was blood. It is obvious that the purpose of the Alcott family's intermarriage model is as disclosed by them.
In order to maintain the family bloodline, and wizards value this, it is also for this bloodline, which also makes Leo curious about why the Alcott family's bloodline is so strange.
However, although Leo was curious, he had no intention of actually contacting the Alcott family. He could see that the Alcott family might not know the details of his bloodline, and they knew all these secrets.
They are in the hands of the chief wizard of the Wizards Association, so finding these secrets directly from the Wizards Association is the easiest and most direct way.
Because of this, even when he was selling those healing potions, Leo never took the initiative to contact those wealthy Alcott family members, and the relationship between the two was almost zero. But now the Alcott family, and The head of the Olcott family in the town of Seventh Lake actually posted a message personally and invited him to the banquet, which really surprised him.
However, after being surprised, he thought about it for a moment and vaguely guessed the purpose of Andre XIII's invitation. I am afraid that the healing potion is for this famously reclusive leader of the Alcott family. LLL.
A few days ago, when the healing potions were being sold, Leo felt that healing potions were still a rarity in this mysterious world. It was not difficult to tell from the mouths of the nobles that even though there were many wizards and potions in Silver Moon City, Although there are many wizards, there are still very few people who can make wizard potions.
At that time, he felt that the ten bottles of wizard potion would definitely cause some trouble, and now the invitation from Andre XIII just confirmed his guess.
If it had been more than an hour ago, Leo might have ignored this invitation and gone directly to the airship docking point in the city and left on the airship. But now he has changed his mind because of the appearance of the animal skin and decided to wait here again. Stay there for a while and see if you can find more useful things.
Leo, who had already decided to accept the invitation, thought about what to wear to the party and finally decided to change into his original leather jacket.
After entering the town, Leo felt that he was a little too cautious. He found that although the style of his clothes was very different among the ordinary people in the city, it seemed so ordinary among the nobles who liked fancy clothes. , even the clothes worn by some so-called ancestral body mutants are much weirder and exaggerated than his leather jacket, so his move to change into a set of clothes specifically to avoid holes in his clothes is completely It's unnecessary.
However, even so, Leo would still do that the next time he encounters the same situation. After all, in the countless missions he performed during the Earth Federation era, countless idiots died due to small mistakes. He didn't want to Become one of them.
Soon Leo took out his original clothes, shoes and hats from his backpack and put them on. After a little hesitation, he took out the king and queen and re-equipped them.
Just as he was too careful about the style of his clothes, shoes and hats, he was also too cautious about firearms.
Based on his observations over the past few days, he found that almost all the merchants traveling to and from the ten towns were wearing various types of weapons. Most of them were blade crossbows, but some people were also wearing firearms. However, most of the firearms on them were They are not revolvers like kings and queens, but multi-barrel repeating shotguns.
The ammunition for these shotguns is not gunpowder, but a mixed powder similar to gunpowder, and he cannot feel any psychic wavelengths from these powders, which shows that these ammunition are completely different from the special bullets he has.
Although wearing the king, the queen will still be a little eye-catching, but this is also in line with the guesses of those who are interested in his identity, making them more certain that they are related to an unknown high-level wizard association in Silvermoon City, because in their opinion, only wizards Only senior mechanics under the control of the association can produce such exquisite firearms, and this misunderstanding can also help Leo not have to explain too much about his disguised identity.
After tidying up his clothes, Leo put on his backpack and put a few relatively important books into the backpack. He left the other books in the room. Then he walked out of the room and came to the roof of the building, criss-crossing along the top.
Cross the criss-cross suspension bridge and walk towards the garden in the third area marked on the invitation.
Among the ten towns on Crescent Moon Lake, Leo didn't know how good the public security was in other lake towns, but he was sure that the security in the Seventh Lake Town where he was now was not very good. Only in the area where he stayed in District 33
In the past few days, I have heard more than once that out-of-town businessmen who rented houses in the 33rd District encountered theft and robbery.
Although the patrol guards in the 33rd District sent people to investigate and collect evidence every time and caught the person who stole the things, the stolen items could not be recovered. Leo did not want to be like those businessmen from other places and go to participate in the event.
After a party, he came back and found that his backpack where important items were stored had been stolen, so taking the backpack with him was his best choice.
Each area in Hushang Town is divided according to the vine terrace where it is located. Some vine terraces are large, so the urban area will be larger and the more houses will be.
However, there are still some rules to follow. The largest vine terraces in the town are classified as industrial areas, followed by the commercial areas. The area of the floating terraces in semi-commercial and semi-residential areas like the 33rd District is
It is only slightly larger than some pure residential areas, and the houses in residential urban areas are not very large, but they are very dense and very high.
The area where nobles live in the city is an exception. Although this area is divided into ten areas from one to ten, it is actually an entire vine floating platform. In terms of area alone, this vine floating platform is the entire
The largest vine floating platform in Hushang Town can only be compared to the area of 40 to 50 ordinary residential areas put together.
A high wall was specially built on the edge of the entire floating platform connected to other floating platforms to separate the urban areas from 1 to 10 from other urban areas in Hushang Town. On the high wall, the nobles arranged at least a hundred people in the city.
The garrison. These garrison troops are all composed of former city guards whose bodies have completely transformed into their ancestral form. They are strong enough to crush all the ten soldiers guarding the city.
The bodies of these garrison soldiers are almost three meters high, and their bodies have greatly mutated. Some have grown a large number of octopus-like tentacles, some have become disproportionately huge, and many have simply turned into beasts, turning into
Spiders, lizards, giant birds, etc. These mutants with extraordinary strength, coupled with weapons specially created for them, make their overall combat power so powerful that even Leo needs to take it seriously.
In the past few days, these physical mutations called ancestral changes in Hushang Town have been one of Leo's focuses. He even went to the guard city area to capture several people after entering a rest period in the city.
Guard and study the reasons for the alienation of their bodies.
He found that this kind of alienation was not a genetic mutation caused by the influence of the surrounding environment, but more like man-made, because he found many traces of the wizard's transformation skills in these people with mutated bodies.
In the wizard's notebook of the wilderness wizard, Leo read the contents of the wizard's transformation technique. Although he would not use this transformation technique for himself, he valued the alien gene fusion technology contained in it, so he took time to dedicate it to it from time to time.
He studied the transformation cases recorded in his notes and learned this transformation technique through the accessory brain system without any actual operations, so his understanding of wizard transformation techniques is no worse than those wizards who specialize in this technique.
.
After checking the ancestral bodies of these people through the spiritual network, Leo easily discovered the traces of the transformation spell after casting, and also found that the transformation spells on these people were significantly different from the transformation spells of the wilderness wizards.
Different, or in other words, this transformation technique is more in line with the heterogeneous gene fusion technology in Leo's mind.
The Transformation Technique of the Wilderness Wizard is a very crude limb or organ transplantation method. It may involve microscopic cells such as genes, but it definitely does not involve many places. Simply put, the Transformation Technique of the Wilderness Wizard is to transplant a certain kind of creature into a relative
Powerful organs or related cells are transplanted into the human body, and then the rejection reaction after the transplantation is erased through witchcraft, so that the transformed person can obtain the power contained in the transplanted organ, and finally achieve the point of changing or strengthening the human body.
This kind of transformation technique can be called an immediate transformation technique, because as long as the transformation is completed, the transformation effect will appear, but the human body will also have some unpredictable accidents because there is no time to adapt.
Now Leo has discovered a microscopic transformation technique that directly targets the genetic level in the mutants in this dream world. This transformation technique directly forcibly inserts the genes of other species into human genes, turning them into a new species.
human-like genes.
After this transformation technique is used, the transformed person's body will not mutate immediately, and his genetic cells will still be dominated by human genes. Only after certain unpredictable mutation conditions and opportunities are triggered, the transformed person's body will
It will change slowly, and this slow mutation process should be enough for the mutant to adapt to the changes in the body.
In addition, this kind of genetic modification will be spread to the blood genes of their descendants as the modifiers reproduce, so Leo guessed that it is possible that all the people in this dream world are alien genetic modifiers, but some people are
Recessive, some people are explicit.
If only this was not enough to make Leo marvel at this real genetic modification technique, what really made him feel that this modification technique was incredible was that when two different modified genes came into contact, the genetic cells would not
Adverse reactions such as rejection or collapse will occur, but instead they will automatically fuse and evolve into another new heterogeneous gene.
In Leo's opinion, the transformation technique applied by wizards on people in the dream world is the most perfect genetic modification technique, and it is also the transformation technique that he most wants to learn. Unfortunately, after comparing these modified genetic cells,
He found that the modified genetic cells in these people were very mature, or in other words, thoroughly mature, having gone through at least dozens of generations of fusion and evolution, which meant that the original modification technique was performed hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
According to Leo's knowledge from the diary of a veteran guarding the castle in a foggy area, hundreds of years ago, there was a turmoil in the Wizards Association of Silvermoon City. During the turmoil, many things in the Wizards Association seemed to be lost, so is this transformation technique still possible?
Existence is also an unknown quantity.
