Chapter 606: Reverse Thinking of Doing the Opposite

Masked Demon: "Just now I mentioned the matter that the Necromancer Race was created by the Black Witches, and for this so-called creation, initially neither the Black Witches nor the Necromancer Race had this intention; instead, it was a very accidental event."

Gluttony Demon: "Hoho, accidental you say, what exactly is it?"

Although Sherlock hated witches, especially Black Witches.

But right now, wasn't this talking about the gossip of the Black Witches? Listening to it to have some fun seemed quite good.

Thus, Sherlock, whose spirits were lifted, had his fat fingers flying up and down, quickly typing out text and sending it out at the same time.

Sure enough.

Watching the drama is where the motivation lies.

Masked Demon: "During the Forsaken War previously, didn't the Black Witches bring out a Resurrection Spell?"

Gluttony Demon: "There is such a thing."

Masked Demon: "And these resurrected transmigrators didn't have any abnormalities after being resurrected, but later they gradually began to mutate, ultimately becoming the current Necromancer Race."

Gluttony Demon: "Wait, I'm a bit confused. I can still understand the first part, but what does the latter part mean?"

Gluttony Demon: "Are you saying this Necromancer Race didn't evolve from transmigrators to the Necromancer Race all at once, but there was a long process of evolution in between?"

Sherlock was completely dumbfounded now.

Evolution is evolution, how did the matter of an evolutionary process also come out?

Doing it like this made it seem as if they were truly undergoing biological evolution.

Well, although it was indeed also evolution, it always felt somewhat contrary to his concepts and attempts regarding 'evolution'.

Masked Demon: "It can't be considered very long. Counting from the resurrection, it was only about a year or so."

Gluttony Demon: "Compared to using Evolution Items, isn't this considered long?"

Yes.

Evolution after using Evolution Items was just a matter of an instant, fundamentally not needing to be so troublesome.

Even a year.

Compared to 'an instant', 'a year' was already long enough.

Masked Demon: "No, I think now is not the time to discuss whether it's long or not, but the logic behind the formation of the Necromancer Race."

Seeing that his angel investor's focus seemed somewhat derailed, the Masked Demon pulled it back in time.

Gluttony Demon: "Mhm, you continue."

Knowing he was a bit out of line, Sherlock also stopped his cross-examination.

Masked Demon: "The Necromancer Race is a race that gradually formed after dying and being resurrected by witches. That is to say, it can be considered an aftereffect of rising from the dead."

Masked Demon: "And among the factors of formation in between, death and witches are both indispensable existences. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the resurrected transmigrators to accidentally become the Necromancer Race."

Masked Demon: "Therefore, to replicate this success, the above two points are needed."

Gluttony Demon: "So that's why you need witch's blood and Demon Eyes?"

Masked Demon: "Yes. Death is easy to handle, it's nothing more than white knife goes in, red knife comes out. But for things that can represent a witch, after thinking over and over, I finally still have to return to these two."

Gluttony Demon: "Indeed, speaking of witches, one has to mention these two things."

Sherlock looked at his phone and nodded.

Demon Eyes were standard equipment for witches. As long as one saw scarlet eyes or sea-blue eyes, they could basically confirm what race the other party was.

And witch's blood was because all the Degenerate Species currently appearing on the entire continent were born due to the 'Witch's Curse'.

Of course, in between, the 'blessing' of the Forsaken War, the first large-scale and organized war in the history of transmigrators, was naturally indispensable.

And what the Masked Demon actually needed wasn't really the witch's blood, but the power of the 'curse' contained within the blood.

But no matter what, if these two things were unobtainable in the Masked Demon's research, then so be it.

Anyway, Sherlock himself wasn't interested either.

Gluttony Demon: "I understand what you said, but even if you create the new race you mentioned, so what?"

Gluttony Demon: "You should know that in the Council of Elders, everyone is equal. Without the drive of benefits, no one can force anyone to do anything."

Masked Demon: "Please rest assured, Duke, I've already thought this question through long ago."

Gluttony Demon: "Oh? That is to say you are prepared?"

Sherlock instantly became interested.

In his eyes, everyone was dirty, so it was nothing more than comparing who was dirtier than who.

So compared to researching this kind of brain-taxing and boring matter, he still preferred to 'deal' with people.

Masked Demon: "At the first moment of obtaining the witch's blood, I conducted multiple trials. Now I already have a preliminary understanding of my research results. The rest is just consolidating and considering the matter of mass production in the future."

Sure enough, he came prepared.

Sherlock silently nodded.

Of course he wouldn't believe this kind of nonsense spoken by the Masked Demon.

What 'first moment', what 'multiple trials', whether true or false, it was just the other party's mouth saying it.

This guy had been planning this matter since the Council of Elders in the square previously.

Although he didn't know exactly what his true intention was, since they were of the same race, he didn't even need to think to know it was definitely profitable.

And as long as it was profitable, he, Sherlock, would take a share.

Looking at it this way, it seemed that even not taking back Steve's legacy from the other party's hands would be fine.

Of course, the premise was that it could let him earn.

Gluttony Demon: "Then tell me how you plan to make everyone profit."

Masked Demon: "Actually this is a very simple matter, because these quasi-Evolvers created belong to true tool people in the true sense, who are tireless and have no ego."

Tireless, no ego.

As a slave merchant, Sherlock naturally knew very well what these two terms represented.

Tireless meant it wouldn't be excessive even if you used him for 25 hours a day out of 24.

And if there was no ego, then even if you used him for 48 hours a day, he wouldn't generate any emotions towards you.

If it was like this, then it was indeed profitable.

However, looking from the point of 'no ego', Sherlock also somewhat understood the reason why the other party specified needing witch's blood.

The Witch's Curse, right.

It could be said that the main reason why Degenerate Species deteriorated instead of evolving was this.

But this Masked Demon actually did the exact opposite, utilizing this loophole to create this kind of thing?

Sure enough, the world is full of wonders.

There is only what you can't think of, not what you can't do.

The key was that the Masked Demon said 'quasi-Evolver' instead of 'Degenerate Species', which meant the research was successful.

Sherlock definitely wouldn't believe this was because the other party's hand trembled and typed the wrong word.

Rather, people who like to engage in research are basically rigorous existences, at least they wouldn't make such a big mistake in terminology.
