#645 - Alchemical blood slime!
#645 - Alchemical blood slime!
"How is Lana doing now?" Pushing Silov's wheelchair, Horn strolled through the mechanical palace's garden with the wolf girl.
"She is both special and lucky, one in ten thousand Holy Favored is like her," Silov tilted her head, her eyes unconsciously chasing the squirrels running by, "She should have been infected with Jenna's Demon-Loving Bacteria first, before she could be completely transformed, and then infected with your Holy Favored Demon-Loving Bacteria.
I originally thought that Lana would have both Jenna's lightning magic and your immense magical power.
But unfortunately, she has neither Jenna's lightning magic nor your immense magical power.
Because your Holy Favored Demon-Loving Bacteria interrupted the witch's Demon-Loving Bacteria's process of modifying nerves in her body, she cannot use lightning magic.
Because Jenna's witch's Demon-Loving Bacteria modified her nerves in the early stages, the Holy Favored Demon-Loving Bacteria's modification of her was incomplete, so her magic power is higher than ordinary dependents, but lower than Holy Favored.
The only advantage is that she is not afraid of lightning, you know witches can be immune to their own magic to a certain extent."
No, buddy, how did you take the dregs and discard the essence?
Horn was a little exasperated at this moment, he thought he could mass-reproduce the ability of lightning wizards, but he came up with this.
"I know you're anxious, but don't be," Silov lowered her head, "I have another good news."
Whether it was an illusion or not, Horn actually saw a fleeting smirk on Silov's face: "What good news?"
"Didn't I try to cultivate Holy Favored Demon-Loving Bacteria before? My first choice was slime, I tried thousands of slimes, but it was useless, either it didn't work, or it was poisoned to death.
But Lana gave me inspiration, since ordinary slimes are useless, why can't I use demon slimes?
Originally, witch's Demon-Loving Bacteria injection would poison the slime to death due to excessive toxicity, but adding Holy Favored Demon-Loving Bacteria and allicin can control the process of the slime turning into a demon.
Such slime has a magic-rich environment in its body, the Holy Favored Demon-Loving Bacteria will not degenerate, but the slime itself cannot use magic, so it is very safe.
So I injected my Demon-Loving Bacteria into a slime, and whenever it was about to be poisoned to death, I injected Holy Favored Demon-Loving Bacteria to devour the witch's Demon-Loving Bacteria..."
Horn's breathing suddenly stagnated: "Did it succeed?"
"It grew wildly within an hour, its size increased by two times, but it still died."
Horn's hand pushing the wheelchair tightened.
"However, before it died, it perked up and split into three sub-bodies," Silov said lightly, "Two of them failed to survive, and the remaining one survived, as a demon offspring, it has a very small amount of Holy Favored Demon-Loving Bacteria in its body..."
Although trying to suppress it, Silov's sweeping tail still smacked Horn's knee painfully: "Both sides can coexist."
"You mean..." Horn tried hard to suppress his excited mood, "We can mass-produce Holy Favored Demon-Loving Bacteria?"
"Not yet, with the amount in its body, it cannot complete the Holy Favored transformation at all, but as long as we continue to cultivate it, we can always cultivate a slime that can coexist with a large number of Holy Favored Demon-Loving Bacteria," Silov took a deep breath, her eyes shining amazingly, "We are already on the right path."
"Great, you did a good job!" Horn's excitement was no less than Silov's.
This is Demon-Loving Bacteria cultivation technology, the technology to mass-transform Holy Favored.
Although it is only a prototype now, as long as it gets on the right track, it can always be made.
From the current point of view, with the replenishment and expansion of the Salvation Army, and the unfolding of industrialization, Holy Favored are needed everywhere, and Horn can't manually promote and transform a thousand in a month.
Moreover, there are four million people in Thousand River Valley, and there are hundreds of millions of people in the empire, Horn can't transform so many people even if he spits dry.
From a long-term perspective, if the Holy Favored Demon-Loving Bacteria is not popularized in time, waiting for the current officer group to intermarry and monopolize military education, the next generation of extraordinary knights is coming.
As long as this technology can be popularized before Horn dies, it will be a success!
Horn couldn't help but lift Silov under her armpits, and hugged her and turned around several times in place, the wolf girl was startled and tensed her tail, frantically looking for balance.
"I'm sorry, I was too excited," Looking at the wolf girl's tightly closed eyes, Horn quickly put her back in the wheelchair.
Sitting back in the wheelchair, the wolf girl's face was slightly red: "What did you want me for?"
"Uh, it's actually about the Truth Newspaper," Thinking that Silov had just solved a major technical problem, and was immediately pushed by himself to write argumentative articles, Horn was a little embarrassed.
"I have already selected the letters and written the replies, but there is a lot of content, and the theological science popularization section may not be enough."
"It's okay, give you the largest political affairs section, and if it doesn't work, you can add a special issue," After mastering the paper mill, the only thing limiting Horn was transportation.
"Actually, I have always had a question," Silov hesitated for a while, and still asked, "Do these citizens really care about this topic?"
"Don't worry, they will," Horn smiled confidently, "This question can unravel their long-standing torment and doubts."
Through the permanent lease right reform for farmers in various places, Horn discovered a huge hidden danger from the tens of thousands of words of complex reports he summarized.
It's a little better among the mountain people, but it's very obvious in the plains, to put it bluntly, it's servility.
Or rather, Horn cleared the church on the ground of Thousand River Valley, but has not yet destroyed the church in people's hearts.
Even Horn's Holy Father Worship Society is considered a new church, nothing different, even some of the Holy Father Worship Society's monks and even centurions think so.
The most classic is the rebellion in Mason Diocese, the slaves don't want to overthrow the master, but want to maintain the master's interests, and don't seek their own interests.
Horn has already figured out the fundamental logic.
In short, the people of the empire believe that they were created by the Holy Father, and all their destiny, value, and meaning of existence depend on the will of the Holy Father, rather than the individual's own rationality or free choice.
The people of the empire objectify themselves as toys of the Holy Father, pursuing salvation in the afterlife rather than achievements in reality.
This ideological contradiction is most obvious among merchants and citizens.
On the one hand, they gather a lot of wealth, hoping to enjoy the pleasure of the present, on the other hand, they are afraid of violating the will of the Holy Father and going to hell after death, and donate large sums of money to buy indulgences.
This ultimately leads to one result - people regard wealth as sin, the poor suffer because they are poor, and the rich suffer because they are rich.
Then the nobles and priests can join hands to harvest leeks in large quantities.
In contrast, the Elves, as "the chosen people of the Holy Father," do not have this kind of entanglement.
When their ancestors crossed the sea with Messiah, they finished eating all the suffering of future generations.
Therefore, most of the big merchants or new nobles engaged in business in the empire are Elves.
Horn specifically wrote the rights of the lords in the constitution, but they don't use them themselves, but want to abide by the old order.
When the monks ask people why they should abide by the old order, they have ten thousand reasons, but when they ask the monks why they should abide by the new order, the Holy Father Worship Society monks cannot convince them.
This theological debate triggered by Horn is to give reasons to convince them, so as to introduce his natural theology.
After solving the economic and political shackles, Horn will begin to untie the shackles of thought.
And "can people voluntarily be slaves" seems to be discussing the issue of freedom and rights, but in fact it is giving the definition of people, so as to reshape the outlook on life.
Solving the definition of people is only the first step, and the next second step is to solve the definition of worldview.
Regarding this topic, Horn has already set the theme in his mind.
In this world, due to the existence of transcendent hegemony, the priests have not patched up many theological loopholes.
The most eye-catching one is the classic problem of theodicy, the priests actually forgot to give the Holy Father's omnibenevolence and omnipotence and the dualism of good and evil a suitable patch!
After all, whoever raises objections will directly send knights to physically eliminate the person, from this point of view, the priests are quite "materialistic".
This is also the reason why the Black Serpent Bay Secret Party always attacks the Holy Father as an evil god - if the Holy Father is not an evil god, and is omniscient, omnipotent, and all-good, why is the world still full of evil?
The church's response is too clumsy, nothing more than evil is the Holy Father's test, so evil is part of good, and there is no such thing as evil at all.
To refute this, Horn can say: then why do the children of the Blue Blood Monastery suffer extreme hardship, but have no opportunity to grow or become good?
Doesn't this mean that the witches and the Secret Party are doing evil to help the Holy Father? Then the church should enshrine the witches and the Secret Party.
So, this is essentially a contradictory statement.
Since they didn't have time to patch it, don't blame Horn for patching it with his natural theology.
Squatting in front of Silov, Horn looked her in the eyes: "Within four issues, we have to end the debate on whether people can voluntarily be slaves, I will come in person for these issues, you go and prepare new debate topics."
"New debate topic? What is it?" Silov asked.
"Thinking about Blue Blood - how to explain the Holy Father's omnipotence and omnibenevolence?"
