Late at night, Zhang Cheng, who returned to his residence, did not fall asleep. Instead, he continued to hide in the room alone and concentrate on the new theoretical knowledge obtained from the dragon and the contents engraved on the Dragon crystal stone tablet by the varelians.
In particular, the part about blood magic and human body transformation is almost equivalent to opening a new door.
According to his understanding, the dragon's initial transformation of the valerian people was equivalent to combining part of its own genes with human genes to produce a new species similar to half man and half dragon.
Later, with intermarriage and blood dilution, the proportion of human genes began to increase, and finally gradually became the image of golden and silver hair and purple eyes known to the world.
In fact, this is just the appearance of ordinary Valerians, just like the tangaryan family from the bottom of the society, but the real "Dragon King" remains close to half dragon and half man. For example, the stone tablet records that the ancient dragon kings have a pair of iconic vertical pupils, and their limbs and fingers are more slender and powerful than ordinary people.
According to varelian tradition, every Dragon King who ascends the throne needs a terrible ceremony to awaken the sleeping power in his body. Only those who pass the ceremony are qualified to become varelian rulers.
As for the losers
Well, the dead can't be the Dragon King.
Zhang Cheng feels that this transformation is very similar to the dragon people made by Azeroth's guardians of the dragons.
Although he has no idea of reforming himself, he doesn't mind making a batch of strong cannon fodder at some critical moments.
"Life... Contract... Gift... Incubation... Rebirth
I see! The so-called transformation is essentially regeneration. As for the person's previous memory, character and mode of thinking, they will all disappear and be replaced by a new creature.
Interesting... It's so interesting... It's like genetic modification and cloning in science fiction movies.
However, this technology seems immature. Once the transformed person's body can't bear the tear of powerful magic power, the cells will collapse in an instant, leading to inevitable death... "
While Zhang Cheng was mumbling to himself and carefully experimenting with mice, the magic sword placed on the table suddenly asked: "Dear master, I don't understand why you should be so cautious. Do you still need to look at the faces of those stupid nobles with your current power? You can kill all those who dare to resist, and then ascend the throne and conquer the whole continent."
"Hum! It's this stupid remark again. Yes, I do have enough strength to conquer this land, but after the conquest? I need to spend a lot of time and energy to maintain the rule, quell the rebellion and restore agriculture and trade. What's good for me? Most importantly, I can't guarantee whether I can master my strength when I go to the next world as I do now In absolute advantage? If not, I should learn to gain advantage under the rules, just as you see me do now, and use the rules flexibly to seize the initiative. "Zhang Cheng gave the answer with a sneer.
Never easily break the original rules, which is not only his own restriction, but also to better hide his identity, integrate into the environment and ensure his own safety.
If he was like an idiot, he would arrogantly start a rebellion everywhere, have a head-on conflict with the local aborigines, and soon die in an unknown corner.
"You mean... Learning?" asked the magic sword in an uncertain tone.
Zhang Cheng nodded without thinking: "Yes! I want to take advantage of this hard won opportunity to ask those conspiracy masters for advice on how to play with people's hearts. Anyway, I have been invincible from now on. Why not enjoy this game of power? Even if I lose in the contest of wisdom, I can turn the situation around with powerful magical power. So shut up and don't disturb my research."
"Well, my evil master, in fact, I'm quite satisfied with pushing a young girl into the abyss of power. Although I lack a little violence and bloodthirsty, I'm a little sorry. Although the previous masters have done a lot of evil things, they are not like you. After deeply understanding what evil is, they still unswervingly embark on the road of evil. In my opinion, you The whole human soul exudes an atmosphere of melancholy, depth and death. "
"Ha ha! Evil? Can you tell me who defines evil and justice? Why do you think what I do is evil?" Zhang Cheng turned around with a laugh.
"Hmm? Don't you think what you have done is evil?" the magic sword revealed an undisguised surprise in his tone.
"No, of course not! Why should I admit that I am evil?"
Zhang Cheng gently shook his head, put down his notes and stretched out a finger.
"First of all, many people believe that the main difference between evil and justice lies in motivation, which is actually wrong.
Think about it. If a person helps others out of good intentions, resulting in irreparable disasters and even thousands of deaths, do you think his behavior is evil or just?
Another man killed his companions out of malice, but he inadvertently destroyed the research of a terrible virus. Once the virus is leaked, it will kill tens of millions of people. Do you think he is just or evil?
There is no doubt that the former may have good intentions, but he has brought disaster to the whole world. In my opinion, this is the real evil;
Although the latter committed the crime of murder, he saved countless lives, which is the real justice.
Many times, the boundary between justice and evil is blurred, and I personally prefer to use the results to make judgments.
After giving an example, let's look at my behavior.
I admit that I am using Sansa to retaliate against belixi, and I also admit that I personally pushed this originally kind girl into the vortex of power.
But please note that if my plan is successful, the civilians suffering from war and chaos will be liberated, and the continent will end the war and return to peace.
This means that the consequences of my actions are beneficial to most people. Since most people can get benefits, how can they be regarded as evil?
So please pay attention to your words. Instead of being evil, I should be called the messenger of justice. "
After hearing this, I didn't know whether it was sophistry or sophistry. The magic sword fell into a silence for five minutes, and finally reluctantly gave a sigh.
"Alas - I really don't know whether I should praise your eloquence and wisdom or your shamelessness. Well, from now on, we are the messengers of justice. Please believe me, if one day you meet the demons of Bator hell, you will become best friends with them. These guys will be very happy to discuss the art of deception with you."
"Hehe, I also look forward to meeting these demons. It will be very, very interesting..."
