Chapter 1892: Suppression

One political prisoner and two radical researchers are the only three death row inmates currently imprisoned in Evereska.

Seeing such a result, Xia Duo really didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking about it, he still didn't want to give up on those two Elf Mages, so he asked Lakelaisi:

"May I meet this Mage Yisitemusi?"

"Mage Yisitemusi and his student are imprisoned in the underground dungeon of Cloudtop Tower. It requires an order from the Council of Elders to open it, but I don't think that will be a problem for you, sir."

"I see. I'll ask Ougesi about it tomorrow."

"Then I shall not disturb your rest, sir."

After Lakelaisi left, Xia Duo certainly didn't go to rest. He had already decided to invite those two Elf Mages to study Arcane Infusion transformation together; it would be a waste not to use such good resources.

As for their insistence on the concept of unifying Elf bloodlines, Xia Duo believed it was completely unnecessary; the Bloodline Sequencing Project could perfectly cover their radical ideas.

As long as he threw out the Bloodline Sequencing Project, a more magnificent and promising project, Xia Duo believed it wouldn't be too difficult to get them to abandon their old concepts.

Once Bloodline Sequencing was completed, or even further, once all the secrets of the bloodline Sequence were unlocked, there would be no need to unify bloodlines; Elves were naturally the same race (strictly speaking, they were not one race, but there had been intermarriage in ancient times, and they had long since mixed, it was just that the traits were not obvious).

At that time, there would naturally be ways to transform a so-called pure-blood Gold Elf into a Moon Elf or Wood Elf, and vice versa, so there would no longer be any racial discrimination.

As for the Arcane Infusion transformation research, it could serve as a prelude to Bloodline Sequencing. If the research on Arcane-state Elves could be completed, it could also be considered a unification of the race in a certain sense.

After carefully refining his words, Xia Duo came to the outside of the Laboratory again. Although he had already determined that he would use Elves for experiments next, he couldn't waste the many rabbits he had already bought.

They could be used to conduct some quantitative Arcane Infusion transformation experiments, thereby accumulating data and experience for subsequent Elf body experiments.

The next day.

Xia Duo went to Wild Vine Valley as usual. After discussing the adjustments and improvement suggestions for the project team's overtime experiments last night with Saijisi, he went directly to Cloudtop Tower during the gap between the first experiments of the day at the experimental base.

The meeting with Ougesi did not have any surprises. Perhaps it was because Lakelaisi had reported the situation to Ougesi after returning last night, so when Xia Duo spoke up today, Ougesi agreed immediately.

Afterwards, it was time to head to the underground dungeon. Xia Duo met Yisitemusi and his student Dixipu in an environment similar to a Laboratory.

Surprisingly, there were no heavy seals, and they even retained a certain degree of Spellcasting ability, allowing them to do some simple research in the prison.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo felt a bit more confident about the purpose of his trip. Just after arriving outside the Laboratory, he did not disturb the two Elves inside, but quietly observed them through the containment barrier.

At first, Yisitemusi and his student did not notice Xia Duo's arrival, perhaps because the containment barrier blocked their Perception, or perhaps they were too engrossed in their experiment to pay attention to anything else.

But eventually, they discovered Xia Duo, a strange Elf watching silently from the outside.

"It's been a long time since there was a visitor. What do you want to say this time? I told you long ago that the internal hierarchy and racial divisions within the Taiquese Yizu are severe now. Bloodline is the original sin; only by breaking the shackles of bloodline can we usher in a brand new world!"

Yisitemusi's reaction was somewhat beyond Xia Duo's expectations. He had originally thought that being restricted in his freedom for so long would make the other party even more radical and crazy.

Xia Duo had imagined the scene when the two sides met. Even if it wasn't swords drawn and bows bent or verbal abuse, at least it wouldn't be like this—like a missionary developing new believers, with an extremely kind attitude.

On the contrary, Yisitemusi's student still had an indignant expression, but in front of his teacher, he didn't say a single inappropriate word.

"Mage Yisitemusi, although I have reservations about your actual methods, I quite agree with your philosophy." Xia Duo also said the first sentence of this encounter.

"Is that so?"

A flash of suspicion crossed Yisitemusi's eyes. "Do you also think that bloodlines need to be unified to create a new world?"

"No, what I agree with is your dissatisfaction with the distorted status quo of the current world, and the Courage to practice creating a new world, but your methods are too radical and too narrow!"

"Oh?"

Hearing his actions being belittled, Yisitemusi was not angry at all; instead, he asked Xia Duo happily, "Then how do you think one should act so as not to be radical or narrow?"

Xia Duo really wanted to say that it was obviously revolution. The problem with Elves did not lie in bloodlines, but in ideology. Only by breaking the shackles of old ideas could it be possible to create a truly new world.

How could merely unifying bloodlines truly solve the problem? It would only turn the barriers between the original Gold Elves, Moon Elves, and Wood Elves into a complete class antagonism. It would treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and might even lead to more serious consequences.

But Xia Duo was not an Elf mentor. The purpose of his trip was just to find a research assistant or even an experimental volunteer. If he really convinced the other party with revolutionary ideas, what would he do if the other party stopped doing research?

After thinking about it, Xia Duo said a very pretentious line: "Your understanding of bloodlines is too superficial. If you were really allowed to succeed, that would be a catastrophe."

"What did you say?!"

Before Yisitemusi could speak, his student Dixipu could no longer hold back and shouted: "Teacher has been specializing in the bloodline Domain for over 200 years. If he doesn't understand bloodlines, who does? Could it be you?"

"Heh."

Xia Duo smiled slightly and did not immediately defend himself, but looked at Yisitemusi. In this situation, as a teacher, you cannot just watch the show!

"What exactly do you want to say? If you only came to humiliate me, then you have succeeded, but I will never submit. Once I leave here, I will definitely let you know what true understanding of bloodlines is!"

Yisitemusi's expression finally changed. He had originally thought that this visitor might be a potential companion, but he did not expect that all he would get was constant denial and humiliation.

"Since you can come here, you should know that as long as I want to go out, I can definitely go out! Young man, don't be too arrogant; arrogance leads to suffering!"

"Mage Yisitemusi, I still stand by my point of view."

Xia Duo put away his smile and said solemnly, "In fact, I came here this time to invite you to join my research project. I am certain that only with me will you be able to know what true understanding of bloodlines is!"

"Your project? If it's just some self-aggrandizing talk, I advise you not to have any designs on me. Go back to where you came from!"

After speaking, Yisitemusi called his student to prepare for the next experiment.

"Mage Yisitemusi, don't you want to hear what kind of project I actually have? You might regret missing this for the rest of your life!"

"Speak, this is your last chance!"
