1249 The Research

[Hint: The player team has obtained Salvador’s notebook (this item cannot be placed in the backpack). This item is evidence of Salvador’s crimes. If you bring it out of the underground palace, the mission completion rate of the player team’s current mission-collecting evidence will be increased by an additional 80%.]

Eh? Was there such a good thing?

Seeing the game hint, Wu Shijiang was overjoyed.

The others also gathered around to watch.

While Sandy was flipping through the books, Fang Heng took the opportunity to quickly observe the overall structure of the room.

The room was very simple.

There was an experimental table, a desk, four chairs, and a bed next to it. The experimental table was kept very clean. There were some paper and pens on the table, as well as two bottles of potions, one blue and one red, in glass bottles.

It seemed that Salvador had worked here before.

Fang Heng walked forward and tried to pick up the potions.

[Hint: The player has obtained an item potion (light blue), and an unknown potion (light red).]

[Hint: The player has not mastered the relevant academic knowledge and cannot conduct experiments to obtain part of the potion information.]

Fang Heng frowned slightly.

He turned around and saw that Wu Shijiang was still studying Salvador’s notebook. Fang Heng then put the potion into the player’s backpack and continued to look at the desk on his right.

The desk was very clean, and there were two drawers under the desk.

He opened the drawer. The first drawer was filled with bottles and jars.

There were about 40 bottles of potions similar to the light blue and light red potions found on the experimental table just now, and each bottle had an experiment code number attached to it.

Fang Heng stuffed all of them into his backpack, ready to bring them back for Qiu Yaokang to study and analyze.

He opened the second drawer.

The drawer was stuffed with a few books filled with research materials.

There was also a portrait of a young girl at the bottom of the book. The portrait seemed to be quite old and had already turned yellow.

Fang Heng opened the portrait and looked at it for a moment. Then he looked at the back of the portrait and found a name written on it: Molly Ann Salvador.

“Damn, this is too despicable…”

Sandy quickly read through Salvador’s notebook and could not help but shout.

“Fang Heng, it turns out to be this guy! Salvador was the one who stole the remains of the late Emperor Andrast!”

“What?”

Fang Heng also walked over and asked, “What’s the situation?”

“To put it simply, Salvador’s research into the demons was not for the sake of obtaining power. He simply wanted to revive his sister.”

Sister?

Fang Heng couldn’t help but think of the portrait he had just found, “You mean Molly Ann? ”

“Yes, that’s her. It’s said that when Molly Ann was very young, she was diagnosed with a terminal illness called bone-eating disease, and she could not live past the age of 17. This illness is very common in the blood of the royal family, and there are rumors that it is a curse of the royal family. In order to save his sister, Salvador did a lot of research, and he believes that the illness is related to the ‘demonic seed’. They have all inherited aAndrast’s blood, which is why they are affected by the demonic seed.”

Mo Jiawei asked, “What happened after that?”

“After Molly Ann’s death, Salvador had been brooding over it. In order to resurrect Molly Ann, he tried many methods. In order to study the abnormality of his bloodline in depth, he did not hesitate to sneak into the Imperial mausoleum and steal Andrast’s remains.”

Mo Jiawei pouted in dissatisfaction and complained in a low voice, “He’s a bit of a dog. It turns out that the person who excavated the royal family’s ancestral grave before us was this brat.”

“Since then, Salvador had been secretly studying the demonic seed. Unfortunately, his progress was very limited.”

“Until a few years ago, when the earth trembled, Salvador accidentally discovered a special creature called the black stone eel. It had the ability to resurrect from the dead.”

When Wu Shijiang heard this, he couldn’t help but shrink his neck and ask, “It can’t be the original devouring body, right?”

“Yes, yes, yes, that’s the one. In order to obtain a bloodline similar to his sister’s, Salvador used himself as a first-generation test subject. I think he succeeded.”

“According to the notebook, Salvador had completed the first step of the experiment. His body was fused with the remains of the Empire’s previous Emperor and the power of the black stone eel. However, the power was very difficult to control, and Salvador suffered from a backlash that was several times stronger than the Empire’s ancestor.”

Fang Heng frowned slightly after hearing that.

So Salvador’s strength was not weak? He’s considered a powerful boss?

“After that, Salvador modified the steps of the fusion, but he seemed to have encountered some problems when he carried out the fusion with Molly Ann. He did not succeed, but he did not fail either. She was the monster we saw in the underground palace.”

Sandy quickly flipped through the subsequent contents in the notebook, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

The more he read, the more he could not understand the experimental data.

Qiu Yaokang was better at this, but unfortunately, he didn’t come with them.

After flipping through the entire notebook, Sandy looked disappointed, “I don’t know about the rest. The number of living humans and resources needed for in-depth research on the ‘demonic seed’ is increasing. It is impossible to rely on the resources in Salvador’s territory alone. Furthermore, Salvador needs similar bloodlines for his experiments. Hence, he set his sights on the royal family.”

Sandy thought to himself that Salvador was really ruthless. He had first dug up his own family’s ancestral grave and even targeted people of his own bloodline.

“The underground palace was built a few years ago. The original devouring body needed to absorb enlightenment stones to grow, but there were not enough, so he thought of developing a replica of the enlightenment stone.”

Fang Heng raised his head again and took a look at the other books on the shelf.

“What about these?”

Mo Jiawei helplessly spread his hands and said, “Most of the books are in the language of the ancient Empire. We can’t understand them.”

Sandy flipped through the books and explained, “They are all books on the study of ‘demonic seeds’. They are the notes left behind by the first Saint. Salvador has collected many books on this. We can take them back and study them.”

[Hint: The player unlocked part of the information related to the original devouring body. The mission completion rate of collecting evidence will be increased by an additional 30%.]

[Hint: The player completed the current mission-Salvador’s secret.]

[Hint: The player still has some side missions that have not been settled. The mission will enter the settlement stage after the mission is settled.]

Fang Heng’s eyes quickly scanned through the game hint.

The completion rate of exploring the underground palace could be increased further. For example, he could completely release the original devouring body that had been sealed, or even kill it directly!

There was still more than half an hour left for the mission.

When the time limit of the mission was over, the mission would automatically enter the final stage of settlement.

Fang Heng still wanted to be greedy this time.

He couldn’t help but raise his head and ask, “Is there a way to deal with the original devouring body modified form in the book?”

Sandy lowered his head again and flipped the notebook back a few pages quickly, saying, “Not really. The original devouring body grows by absorbing a large amount of energy from the enlightenment stone. It will go berserk after a long time without absorbing energy.”
