Chapter 2981: Discovering Demon Descendants

Originally, if the comprehensive testing had not discovered the incident involving a suspected alien dragon, Xia Duo would not have considered the Holy Golden Dragon Empire for quite some time; only when the Main Plane had developed to a certain degree in the future would he have considered exchanges with the outside world.

Earth is still constantly searching for aliens, yet here in the magic world, the existence of alien dragons is already known—how could one not think of having an exchange with them?

Whether it is trade, magical exchange, or war exchange, they are all exchanges. As long as there is exchange, it will inevitably facilitate progress for both sides.

Seventon, in the Great Arena.

The Snow Melting Competition is still continuing. Xia Duo has not been shaken by the "alien dragon" incident; apart from receiving memories from Saville to increase his understanding of the Holy Golden Dragon Empire, he is now just waiting.

Waiting for the comprehensive testing to be completed to determine the number of suspected alien dragons. If there is only one, then action must be taken. It might not necessarily be direct capture; he prefers to conduct an exchange first, and if the exchange fails, it will not be too late to capture it.

Of course, he alone does not have the final say in this regard; the thoughts of the Seven Towers must still be considered. If the Seven Towers insist on direct capture, he might compromise.

After all, even without him, the Seven Towers would certainly think of other ways to deal with that alien dragon, but without the participation of a War Spell Platform, it would not be very secure. Rather than that, it would be better for Xia Duo to compromise a little!

……

On the other side, after failing to get the result he wanted from Xia Duo, Huo En went to Gustav Tower to discuss with Badijiaer immediately after returning.

"Is that so!"

In the end, both sides made the decision to temporarily slow down the progress of testing and urged every Territory to complete blood sample collection as soon as possible. In the face of the ultimate technology of the Bloodline Domain, the Demon Descendant problem cannot be considered a problem at all.

However, Xia Shao had long anticipated such a result. After all, during the Snow Melting Competition a few years ago, Ruier had summoned demons to cause trouble; later, the incident subsided, but the influence might not have been completely eliminated.

Seven days later, Drow visited again. Xia Shao knew that he had to make a decision this time.

Within the territory of Danzo, there is still a large amount of Abyssal Aura remaining to this day. Besides humans, Elves and Dwarves might also be researching demons in private.

It was called a report, but in fact, there was not much intermediate process, only some summarized results. Even counting everything, it did not fill two pages of paper. What Xia Shao focused on first was not the incident involving the same kind of the suspected alien dragon, but the initial test results of the Abyssal Aura.

However, purification not being timely should only be an individual case; it is more likely that someone is privately researching spells related to demons. After all, the Ruier war was so big back then that anyone could see the combat power of demons.

Once the results are out, no matter what they are, the subsequent direction of this matter will not shift according to Xia Shao's personal will, but the collective will of the Netherese.

Regarding this result, Xia Shao is actually not surprised at all. Of course, if more were discovered, he would not be surprised either; such things only have the difference between zero and many, and there is no essential difference between one and many.

"The re-examination has already begun, as for the Demon Descendants—"

It is still quite a lot; there are forty cases in total. This is still just a small sample initial test. Forty cases mean that Abyssal Aura was detected in blood samples from at least forty regions.

Xia Shao also took time to award the winners of the competition. As for the Arcane Competition inside the Tower of Time, it is still continuing, and it is expected to conclude simultaneously with the Snow Melting Competition in the first ten days of this month.

"No one has been sent to investigate yet; they should be visiting Elf Merchants."

Picking up the test report from the table, Xia Shao was actually a bit surprised by this report. He did not expect the Seven Towers to come up with such a thing so quickly.

Surprised that there was not a single Netherese Mage researching demons, worried that someone might have cut corners or committed fraud during this test.

……

Seventon, Azure Manor.

It is true that there are visiting Elf Merchants in Zhenisi, but there are very few. The possibility of having two Demon Descendants by such a coincidence is relatively low. If it is true, then it means Demon Descendants have already begun to infiltrate the Netherese.

For humans, converting into a Demon Descendant might only extend life by a few hundred years and still have various drawbacks, but once the ultimate Bloodline Technology is mastered, let alone extending life by hundreds or thousands of years, even immortality is not impossible.

If it is not, then the result is even worse, which means that Demon Descendants have long since begun to infiltrate the Netherese.

Under such circumstances, this matter is no longer the business of Jilan High Tower alone; it can even be said that the entire Seven Towers and the entire Netherese will benefit from it.

No matter which result it is, it is not a good thing for the Netherese.

"Are they Netherese, or visiting Elves?" Xia Shao asked again.

Therefore, detecting Abyssal Aura is not strange. If not a single bit had been detected, that is when Xia Shao would have felt surprised and worried!

"The comprehensive initial testing has been completed, lasting nearly half a month. Almost every Netherese has been tested, and only one case of the dragon type mentioned last time was found!"

Now that Abyssal Aura has been detected, he instead breathed a sigh of relief, because detecting Abyssal Aura does not necessarily mean they are Demon Descendants; follow-up re-examinations will still be conducted.

And researching demons is actually not a taboo in the Main Plane; it is only because they were used in large quantities by the Netherese that they were viewed as evil. Normal research does not distinguish between good and evil.

Speaking of this, Drow hesitated for a moment, but thinking that Xia Shao would know about this sooner or later, he did not hide it, "Two Demon Descendants have been confirmed in the Zhenisi region, and none have been found elsewhere for the time being."

Thinking of this, Xia Shao also asked Drow curiously: "With Abyssal Aura detected in so many places, have re-examinations started? Have any Demon Descendants been found?"

It is just that the longer this matter is dragged out, the greater the variables. If possible, the Seven Towers still hopes to get Xia Shao's support.

This statement made Drow himself feel a bit unconfident. It is true that Zhenisi is a trade hub, but it is more connected to Asikeer. If Elf Merchants could go to Zhenisi, it would actually be more profitable to come to Seventon.

Xia Shao himself was infected by Abyssal Aura back then and went to the Great Temple to be purified several times. If someone is not purified in time, it might bury hidden dangers. This is actually the original source of Demon Descendants—being infected by Abyssal Aura or demon blood.

The Snow Melting Competition is still continuing, but the Jiche Sheji Dasai of the Great Xia Territory in the Nan Jing has already come to an end in the past few days, and excellent contestants have emerged in both the speed and load-bearing categories.

Even if Xia Shao does not agree to assist, the Seven Towers has absolute confidence in convincing others to build a Mobile War Spell Platform in a short period of time.

The reason why the Seven Towers and Badijiaer decided to temporarily slow down the progress of testing is also to determine as soon as possible whether there is a second case of a dragon race disguising itself as a human in the Netherese.

Deducting those researchers and accidentally infected individuals, the remainder might possibly be Demon Descendants.

Inside the Reception Room, just after both sides were seated, Drow took out the initial test report prepared in advance, pushed it in front of Xia Shao, and then directly continued the unfinished topic from last time:

Seven days later.
