After saving the entire content of the book "The Power of the Mind" in the Mind Library, he decisively buried the book in a remote mountain forest.
After finishing all this, he did not leave in a hurry, but went to another fragmented world in this time and space - "Esper".
After all, having come all the way to "Alara", how could you not bring back some local "specialties"?
The most famous local specialty of this time and space, apart from primitive dragons, wild beasts and endless undead, is naturally the famous "Yi Jin".
This is an extremely special active metal even among the countless magical metals in the multiverse.
Not only is it very easy to process and has no fixed shape, but it can also withstand enormous magical energy that is unimaginable for other metal materials, and can be molded into any desired shape.
It is said that "Etherium" strengthened by magic can even form a large layer like a protective shield to resist any physical and magical attacks.
Tezzeret, the planeswalker who was once Jace Beleren's elder brother, forged an arm out of "etherium" and also transformed his own body.
But the problem is that almost all of the "Esper"'s "Yijin" is controlled by an organization called "Zhizhihui".
The main members of the organization are Vedalken (a humanoid race with blue skin, four arms, naturally calm and rational, with extremely high IQ, and keen on scientific and magical research), as well as other intelligent races such as sphinxes and humans. It is suspected that they are also secretly controlled and deceived by Nicol Bolas.
In order not to alarm Lao Long, Zuo Si, very rarely, did not cause any trouble. He simply used some small tricks to "borrow" a part of it from the other party's warehouse.
Not much, only 80%.
By the way, he also copied the Vedalken's research data, magic and technology on "Etherium" and took them away. At the same time, he activated the ability of the creator to carry out destructive mining on the few remaining mines that could still produce Etherium.
By the time he left the "Alara" time and space, the entire "Esper" fragment world was in complete chaos.
Not only the Vedalken went mad, but also the wizards, etherium masters, and artificers of other races who relied on this precious metal material also fell into madness.
They all went out to search for the damn thief in the "Esper" fragment world, and vowed to make him pay the most painful price once they caught him.
Not only that!
Because the strength and prosperity of the entire "Esper" is built on the foundation of Yijin.
Therefore, when there was a serious shortage of B-Gold supply, the internal conflicts and struggles began to become acute. Everyone stared at the remaining B-Gold reserves, and no one was willing to give in.
There is no doubt that if things continue to develop in this way, division and civil war will be almost inevitable.
However, before the civil war broke out, the five fragmented worlds merged into one.
moment!
Internal conflicts were replaced by greater external threats.
In particular, the "Etherium Codex" compiled by Nicol Bolas with lies claimed that if a material called redstone was obtained, the quality of etherium could be upgraded to a higher level.
The origin of this material is in another fragment world.
Thus, a war that swept across the entire "Alara" space and time broke out.
Since each world borders the other two worlds adjacent to it, no one can be immune.
confusion!
war!
Killing! Even the "ancestral beast" that is the will of the world awakens and begins to wreak havoc on the cruel battlefield.
As the mastermind and manipulator behind all of this, Nicol Bolas simply watched it all silently, while ordering his dragon Morpheus and Lich King Sekis to slaughter the living and transform them into undead in large numbers.
Before long, the five colors of mana - white, red, green, blue and black - began to gather in the gap in the middle of the huge circular Pangaea continent.
And this is what Lao Long wants.
He wants to devour all mana to replace the "ancestor beast" and become the absolute master of this time and space and the supreme god! "Directly eating a world to make up for the power he has lost? This is really a big deal! Nicol Bolas's spark level has probably already exceeded the limit that most planeswalkers can imagine..."
Zuo Si narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
You have to know that "Alara" is not a low-magic world.
Although it is not as powerful as high-magic worlds like Zendikar and Azeroth, where energy is about to overflow, the fact that it can be split into five broken fragments and maintain independent existence is already proof of its abundant mana.
But even so, the old dragon still has the confidence to swallow it in one gulp, which shows how powerful he is.
As a person who is good at observation and learning, Zuo Si had little effort to see through Nicol Bolas's arrangements and ultimate purpose in the various fragmented worlds of "Alara".
Whether it was the White Knight Planeswalker Elspeth Tirel, who was trying her best to resist the invasion of the "Grilix" undead army, or the Lion Planeswalker Ajani Goldmane, they were easily played around by him.
If possible, Zuo Si hoped to stay and watch the whole show, to appreciate how the old dragon used the power of the planeswalker's spark to bring the entire world's magical energy under his control.
Unfortunately, the risks involved in doing so are simply too great.
As the five-colored mana continued to gather in the central gap of the connected fragmented world, he could no longer suppress his greed and began to secretly fleece Nicol Bolas, extracting the white and green mana that he did not need.
The huge number has raised the spark level from LV11 to LV12, and is already approaching the edge of LV13.
If we continue like this, it is only a matter of time before the other party finds out.
So he had to reluctantly give up this huge and delicious "cake" in front of him, directly mobilize the power of sparks to return to Zendikar, and began to learn gravel magic under the guidance of Nahiri.
Of course, in his spare time, he did not forget to control another clone to arrive at Mirrodin, which was being infected by the Shining Oil and transformed into New Phyrexia.
This is the space and time created by the Silver Golem Kahn after he obtained the spark to test his power as a planeswalker. The original name of this place should be "Ancient Silver".
Because when it was first born, it was just a pure silver metal world. Apart from the mechanical manager made by Kahn, Monaco, and the "light moths" flying in the sky like stars, there was basically nothing else.
However, what Kahn did not expect was that when he created this world, a small amount of residual oil from Phyrexia contaminated the core at the center of the world and gradually infected the managers he left behind.
Monaco was eventually completely blackened by the erosion of the oil. Not only did he constantly capture living creatures from other time and space through creature traps, but he also sent out mechanical armies to attack the gathering places of these creatures at regular intervals. He wanted to use external threats to encourage those with fire to ignite the spark and become planeswalkers.
Then he would seize the spark himself and gain the same power as the "Creator" Kahn.
Unfortunately, his plan ultimately failed, and the violent energy shock even led to the mass extinction of all living things in Mirrodin.
Fortunately, the "Creator" Kahn arrived and restored everything to its original state with his extremely powerful strength.
From then on, Mirrodin entered a brief period of peace.
But people living in this world don’t know that the return of the Creator Kahn is not necessarily a good thing.
Because compared to the residual oil that polluted the core of Mirrodin, the original Phyrexian oil that flowed out of Karn's body was the real deadly thing.
When the latter was mixed with the former, the world ushered in what Yawgmoth, the father of Phyrexia, called "perfection", which means the perfect evolution that combines organic life and machinery.
The infection process began in the core area of the entire hollow Mirrodin, where Karn used to seal himself.
The shiny oil flowing out here quickly combined with the already large-scale local bacterial community, and continued to spread around like the Zerg fungus blanket in StarCraft.
After completely occupying the entire underground world, it began to spread towards the surface world.
This thing first made biological transformations of the magic machines that Monaco had previously made.
Then, they controlled these creatures to attack from all sides, constantly capturing living creatures from the surface world for mechanized transformation.
Slowly, this new Phyrexian force hidden in the underground world accumulated enough strength, and it surged out from the inner world with surging black oil, launching a war to conquer Mirrodin.
Although at the beginning, the residents of Mirrodin, who had seen many storms and were full of martial virtues, easily defeated the vanguard of these monsters and did not take them seriously at all.
But soon, they realized that something was wrong.
Anyone who is splashed by the black oil during the battle will fall into great pain within just a few seconds and then fall into a coma.
The former's strong corrosiveness will cause the skin and muscles to be completely separated and then fused together with other metals.
When the oil invades the nerves and brain and completely erases the victim's own will, the victim will be completely transformed into a new Phyrexian creation that has no relatives.
The scene where comrades who had fought side by side and shared life and death not long ago turned into terrifying enemies in just a few days is absolutely fatal to the confidence and morale.
Even corpses after death will be devoured, transformed, and reorganized by the sparking oil, becoming creations of the New Phyrexian forces.
From the perspective of "making the best use of everything", New Phyrexia even goes beyond driving the corpses of the dead, and can snowball the undead army by constantly invading and killing.
If both sides are given the same supplies and allowed to fight each other, Phyrexia, with its powerful infectious ability of Shock Oil, will surely win the final victory.
Not only that!
Shuoyou is also very "intelligent" and deliberately sends some infected people back to their original tribes to turn them into latent spies, in order to cause internal disputes and conflicts and further undermine the enemy's will to resist.
Whether it was the original mercury sea, or the glittering desert composed entirely of hexagonal smooth metal reflectors, or the sharp grass plains covered with metal needles, or the melting pot filled with magma and flames, they all fell quickly without any resistance in front of this invincible army.
Among them, the most powerful semi-mechanical life forms transformed by Shuoyou even gathered together to form a power body called the "Council of the Demon Judge", and also established a religious belief with the creator Kahn as the core.
They worship Karn as a god and call him the father of New Phyrexia.
However, Kahn, who had already lost consciousness, knew nothing about this.
Even when he regained consciousness for a short while, the evil judges would directly pour a basin of burning oil on him to make him fall into dormancy again.
Obviously, these guys don't really treat Karn as a god or a father, but just need him to be a banner to integrate the different factions of New Phyrexia.
After Zuo Si had a general understanding of the situation in Mirrodin, he quickly built a research institute in the chromium-copper forest that had not yet been affected.
In addition to taking a few hours every day to study the spark oil and bacterial communities, he also constantly captured those unlucky ones infected with the spark oil, observed the entire process of infection, and occasionally dismembered some Phyrexian creations.
Since he will protect this place from the invasion of New Phyrexia, he has arranged a lot of defensive measures.
So some refugees who fled from other places gradually discovered this and chose to temporarily settle down in the surrounding area, forming a large community, and the number of people quickly expanded from the initial few hundred to tens of thousands.
Among them are humans, as well as other races such as goblins and elves.
Normally, given the barrenness of Mirrodin where metal is everywhere, it is basically impossible to feed such a large population.
If nothing unexpected happens, they will soon kill each other for survival, and even eat each other's corpses and flesh.
In fact, this is a very common occurrence on the plane of Mirrodin.
Because metal elements are everywhere, there is no so-called land for agricultural production.
The only way for people here to obtain food is to hunt. They try to use the edible parts of the prey to meet their own physiological needs. They have even evolved a digestive system that can break down some metal substances.
Of course, the price is that they themselves will grow metal skin, claws and teeth.
fortunately!
Amid the tragedy of mutual slaughter, Zuo Si appeared and gave the refugees much-needed food and clean drinking water.
Especially those cereal foods, which drove these people who had never eaten cereals since birth crazy.
Combined with some fish, crabs and shells from the floating city world, the refugees were surprised to find that their lives were now much better than before.
Of course, the price is that they need to work for Zuo Si, collect large quantities of various metal materials that are everywhere in the world, and even serve as guinea pigs for his research.
"Hey! Why doesn't that strange human have any metal on him? Where did he get all these delicious food and clean water? Also, why did he collect these junk metals that are everywhere and have no use at all?"
A female elf from the Dark Azure tribe, who had just handed over a large amount of high-quality metal materials in exchange for a few pieces of bread and a plate of fried fish, asked her companions.
The so-called "Dark Azure Elves" are actually a subspecies of elves that evolved in order to adapt to the harsh environment of Mirrodin.
Their biggest feature is that they have green skin, and they will embed a large amount of metal on their bodies through mechanical modification to increase their own defense and attack power.
For example, the woman in front of you has metal tubes extending from near the hips, connecting the lower body to the magic armor covering the thighs, knees, calves, and all the way to the soles of the feet.
Some kind of energy device emitting green light is embedded in some of the joints, which can give it greater strength and agility. It can easily jump more than ten or twenty meters high and wander and shuttle quickly in the chrome-copper forest.
Of course, the upper body is not much better. A metal armor like a one-piece swimsuit protects the area below the chest, and several metal tubes extend from the armpits and back to firmly fix it.
You should know that these armors are not what most people understand, that they can be put on when needed and taken off when not needed.
Instead, it is directly and closely connected with the body.
The metal tubes used for fixing and connecting were deeply inserted into the flesh and completely integrated with the bones.
This is also why Mirrodin was infected so quickly.
In order to survive better, almost all intelligent creatures here use metal to transform themselves.
Shuoyou doesn't even need to obtain metal materials from other places. Once a person is captured, he can be transformed on the spot immediately.
Many human races even burn red-hot metal scales and embed them directly on the skin, using their evolved abilities to allow the skin to secrete blood containing metal elements, eventually combining the two to form a new skin with powerful military protection capabilities.
The human race that calls itself "Vashok" is so crazy that they forge themselves and embed large amounts of metal into their bodies. From a distance, they look like a semi-elemental creature.
Another female elf from the Dark Azure tribe who had also exchanged for food rolled her eyes in annoyance and scolded bluntly: "There are so many delicious foods, but you still can't shut your mouth? Don't ask so many questions, and don't try to find out these news that you shouldn't know.
Don't forget, a few days ago a group of goblins tried to break into the house to loot more food, but they were crushed into scraps by a powerful spell.
Moreover, the news brought by refugees fleeing from other places has confirmed that the evil force is constantly expanding and winning one battle after another.
The reason why this place has not been affected by the war is entirely due to the other party's protection.
He is our benefactor, there is no doubt about that.
I don’t want to be kicked out of the gathering place because of my inappropriate curiosity.”
After saying that, the Dark Azure elf picked up the soft and sweet bread and took a big bite, his face full of enjoyment.
"Well, you are right. No matter what he wants to do, as long as he can provide food and water continuously like now, I don't think anyone will object."
The Dark Azure female elf who had asked the question earlier shrugged her shoulders, immediately picked up the fried fish and put it into her mouth. She used her teeth, which were strong enough to bite through steel bars, to break the hardest bones in the fish head with a snap, and then swallowed them all down with a crunch, without spitting out even the slightest fish bone.
In just a few minutes, the two of them had eaten up all the food, even licking the grease stains on the metal plate clean.
In Mirrodin, where food is extremely scarce, waste is shameful.
And since the digestive system has evolved to be able to break down metals, bones are no problem at all.
After eating and drinking, the two elves threw the metal plates in their hands to the ground and stood up to continue collecting metals.
Since metal is the most common and least scarce substance in the world, they were not worried at all that the plates would be stolen.
Instead of wasting time, one might as well work more and earn what are called "work points" in exchange for more food, water and other necessities of survival.
Most importantly, these jobs are much safer than hunting "Slag Dragons" in the tribe before.
Once accidentally swallowed into the stomach, it will be completely dissolved in just a few seconds.
Any creature with normal intelligence will stay as far away from the "Slag Dragon" as possible.
不过很可惜，暗碧族精灵生存的地方能作为食物的东西不多，其中“熔渣亚龙”是唯一一种可以大量提供肉食的生物。
所以他们没得选择，只能冒着随时都有可能死亡的危险去跟这种极难杀死的怪物玩命。
两个女性精灵跟着其他吃完饭的人一起走出铬铜林，来到遍布着锐利钢针的锐草平原上，将这些坚硬的金属掰下来打包，紧跟着送到指定站点进行称重，就能获得相应的“工分”。
而那些钢针则会被一股脑扔进巨大的熔炉锻造成重达上百公斤的块状堆砌在空地上。
每隔一段时间，左思都会派手下的召唤生物拎着无痕伸展咒的箱子装走。
当然，这样做并非完全是为了搜集秘罗地特产的优质合金，而是为了避免不同部落跟种族之间可能会引发的矛盾跟暴力冲突。
如果单纯要搜集金属的话，他完全可以凭借创造者的能力，以及放出构装体、召唤生物大军，对整个世界进行地毯式搜刮。
通过让难民劳动——获取报酬——购买食物、水和生活必需品——自己吃掉或是给家人吃掉的循环，左思几乎毫不费力就建立起了最宝贵的信任关系，并以此为基础维护秩序。
任何胆敢破坏聚集地稳定，亦或是想要通过暴力手段掠夺、奴役其他人的家伙，都会遭到毫不留情的镇压，搞不好还会成为实验室里的“耗材”。
在一手大棒一手甜枣的作用下，难民们很快就认可了左思对于这片区域至高无上的统治权。
甚至还自发组织起一个简单的管理机构，负责记录“工分”、制作和分发食物、对源源不断涌来的难民进行安置、派人在周围巡逻防止铬铜林里的怪物靠近等等。
为了防止新非瑞克西亚的渗透，在聚集地外围还用金属竖起了足有数米高的墙，任何从外面进来的人都必须接受严格检查，确保其没有被烁油侵染。
不出意外的话，这里很快就会形成一个耸立在大地之上的钢铁之城。
而作为外来者的左思，就是这座城市得以存在的核心保证，同时也是说一不二的主人。
如果没有他稳定提供的食物、水和生活必需品，都不用新非瑞克西亚打过来，数万难民就会先开始自相残杀。
也正因为如此，每当左思下令需要什么种族的人配合做一些研究时，他们都会迅速通过抽签来选出所谓的“牺牲者”。
尽管绝大多数时候，这些“牺牲者”在做完研究之后都能完好无损的从实验室里走出来，甚至会被魔法改造的更加强大。
可对于未知事物的本能恐惧，还是让难民们不愿意靠近那栋白色的建筑。
就在无数人埋头趴在锐草丛中奋力拔钢针的时候，一支由实力强大战士构成的精锐狩猎小队终于从铬铜林深处回来了。
他们不仅捕获了一条活着的“熔渣亚龙”、一条“原初霸蛛龙”、两只“铬铜林螳螂”，而且还带着一名留着红色长发的人类女孩。
更令人感到惊讶的是，这位人类少女身上，不管是修长光滑的胳膊和大腿，还是裸露出来的脊背，居然没有任何金属改造的部分。
这在秘罗地显然是极其稀有且罕见的。
一名暗碧族女性精灵精灵推搡着押送其穿过城门进入到聚集地内部。
身高超过两米、宛如犀牛一样健壮的瓦许克人首领看到这一幕，立刻用充满好奇的语气大声询问道：“嘿！那个孱弱的人类小姑娘是怎么回事？她是怎么在残酷的铬铜林里活下来的？”
“你问我，我问谁？我们只是在狩猎过程中碰巧捡到了她，打算把她献给主人作为礼物。”
狩猎队中的一名瓦许克战士摇晃着脑袋回应道。
旁边另外一名暗碧族精灵猎手则嬉皮笑脸的附和道：“没错！主人身上也没有任何金属改造的痕迹，说不定他就喜欢这种类型。我们也许会因此而得到大把的奖赏呢。尤其是那种叫做酒的美妙饮料，要是能再痛快的喝上一次该有多好。”
“哈！别做梦了！像主人那样的强者，肯定不会喜欢这种孱弱的女孩。要选也会选我们强壮的瓦许克姑娘。”
说罢，首领一脸自豪拍了拍身边与自己一样高大、健壮且身体表面镶满坚硬金属的女儿。
毫无疑问，他的态度直接反映了瓦许克人这个种族不同寻常的审美观。
在这些家伙的眼里，谁的身体越强壮、谁能在身上嵌入更多的金属，谁就越美丽。
当然，这种“美”左思肯定是欣赏不来的。
虽然他也对一些瓦许克人战士进行了强化改造，还把其中一些制作成生物卡牌，但却从不觉得这种为生存和适应环境而做出的牺牲“美”在何处。
穿过略显杂乱的街道，狩猎队很快便来到了这座钢铁之城的中心，同时也是实验室的所在地。
队长抬起手示意所有人停下来，自己则径直走到近前轻轻拽了拽那根悬挂在门前的金属丝。
瞬间！
一阵悦耳的铃声回荡在实验室内。
大概两三分钟之后，紧闭的大门才缓缓开启，刚刚完成一项跟烁油相关实验的左思从里边走了出来，饶有兴致的问：“你们今天带回了什么有趣的东西？”
“我们捕获了一条熔渣亚龙、一条原初霸蛛龙、两只铬铜林螳螂，它们都是相当厉害的猎食者。除此之外，还有一件特别的小礼物。”
说着，队长冲暗碧族精灵挥了挥手。
后者立马心领神会，赶忙把自己押送的人类女孩推到左思的面前。
这个留着红色长发的姑娘年纪显然并不大，身上只穿着一件用破旧皮革和绳子编制而成的灰色罩衣，胸部以上的位置和大片的后背几乎没有任何遮挡，罩衣侧面为了活动方便也开叉到了腰部以上的位置，露出两条白皙的大腿，脚上没有鞋子，仅仅是用粗糙皮革进行了包裹。
从穿戴打扮上来判断，她之前明显生活在铬铜林深处。
也只有这片被绿色法术力核心影响的地方，才会有产出皮革的动物和可以制作绳子的材料。
“你叫什么名字？”
左思盯着女孩的眼睛用这个世界的语言询问道。
“梅……梅梨莱。”
女孩明显感到非常害怕，小心翼翼的报上了自己的名字。
“梅梨莱？！”
左思两眼微微放光，瞬间意识到站在自己面前的就是传说中秘罗地最后的希望，目前已知唯一一个可以免疫烁油侵蚀，甚至帮助别人祛除烁油感染的人。
有了她，对于烁油研究进度将会大幅度的向前推进。
狩猎队长显然注意到了这不同寻常的反应，立刻谨慎的试探道：“主人，这个女孩有什么特别之处吗？”
“你只需要知道，从今以后难民中再有被烁油感染的人不用将其驱逐，直接把人带到我这里就好。还有，介于这一次你们出色的狩猎行行动，我决定给每人额外一千工分的奖励，以及五桶酒精饮料。现在，去好好享受这一切吧。”
说罢，左思挥了挥手示意狩猎队可以离开了。
听到一千工分和五桶酒精饮料的额外奖赏，整个狩猎队瞬间爆发出震耳欲聋的欢呼声。
毕竟他们冒着生命危险干这个，就是为了赢得干其他工作一个月都不可能拿到的高昂奖励。
没有任何犹豫！
队长郑重其事向左思道谢之后，立马直奔聚集地另外一个重要的地方——仓库。
在向管理员出示证明之后，他们很快领到了足够的食物和酒水开始举办宴会庆祝今天的收获。
与此同时，另外一边的实验室，左思直接把那些捕获的猎物全部制作成卡牌，然后带着梅梨莱走进了建筑内部。
当女孩看到实验室里那些被拆解的非瑞克西亚造物，装在各种容器中的烁油和构生菌群落，还有刚刚被烁油感染正在经历侵染过程的生物时，当场被吓得一屁股坐在了地上，满脸都是恐惧之色。
如果不是唯一的进出口已经彻底封闭，她绝对会二话不说掉头就跑。
这种反应就好像大多数普通人第一次进入医学实验室，看到那些被装在瓶子、罐子的人体器官，或者浸泡于福尔马林溶液中的尸体时，会感到害怕和不适一样。
左思无疑注意到了梅梨莱的反应，轻声安慰道：“别怕，他们只是用来进行研究的实验体，并且受到了隔离跟限制，并不具备任何危险性。”
“研……研究？”少女声音中带着一丝颤抖。
“是啊，研究。就像你看到的一样，这种叫做烁油的物质正在以前所未有的速度侵染着整个秘罗地。如果想要阻止这场可怕的灾难，就必须先搞清楚其内部所蕴含的奥秘。而你，将会成为我的助手，协助我搞清楚这一切。”
While saying this, Zuo Si lowered his head and looked into the other person's big eyes that were full of fear, his tone full of sincerity.
"But...but I can't do anything and I don't know anything. How can I help you?" Meililai asked nervously.
"Haha, you don't need to know anything, and you don't need to be able to do anything. Because your existence itself is a great help to me. Well, don't think too much. I believe you must be hungry and thirsty after walking such a long way. You should fill your stomach first. After all, the world is big, and eating is the most important thing."
Zuo Si took the girl to the living area on the underground floor with a smile on his face, and quickly cast a spell to summon a hero banquet.
moment!
A table full of top-notch luxurious banquet with all the delicious food appeared out of nowhere in front of Meililai.
As a native resident of Mirrodin who was born in an extremely poor and food-scarce environment, Melirai had never seen such a scene even in her most beautiful dreams. She was so shocked that she stood there stupidly, swallowing her saliva continuously, but she did not dare to reach out and touch the dishes and food.
Especially the colorful fresh fruits, to her they were simply something that only gods could eat.
"What are you waiting for? Eat, it's all yours."
Zuo Si put his hands on the girl's shoulders, leaned over and whispered in her ear.
I don’t know if it was because she was too hungry or because she was encouraged, but after struggling for a while, Melila finally couldn’t hold back any longer, and quickly rushed forward and began to wolf down the food.
A plate of strawberries and cherries was eaten up in just a few seconds.
Then she turned her eyes to other fragrant meat and fish foods. Her mouth never stopped drinking. When she was thirsty, she picked up the juice jug and drank it down in gulps.
The originally flat belly quickly swelled up.
But even so, the girl showed no intention of stopping, and her crazy binge eating continued until she couldn't swallow even a drop of water.
"Hiccup——"
"Thank you, thank you. This is the most sumptuous and delicious meal I have ever had since I was born. Even if the final outcome is to be dismembered like those guys upstairs, I think it is worth it."
Melila slumped in the chair without any image, her fair face slightly red from drinking alcoholic beverages, her eyes revealing unparalleled satisfaction.
"Don't worry, I won't dismember you, let alone kill you. At most, I'll just draw some blood from you and let you use your innate abilities to do some experiments. Also, if you like these foods, I promise you can eat them every day and at every meal in the future." Zuo Si made the promise with a smile.
"real?!"
Melila's eyes sparkled with undisguised surprise and anticipation.
"Of course it's true. But I have to help you clean up first and change into suitable clothes."
As he spoke, Zuo Si drew out his wand and cast a cleaning spell, cleaning away all the dirty stains and sweat stains on the girl's body.
Before the latter could react to what happened, he waved his wand again.
Tear!
The original leather robe was instantly torn into pieces.
"ah!!!!!!"
Meililai, who was completely naked, screamed and subconsciously used her arms to cover her important parts.
Just a few seconds later, Zuo Si threw over a set of clothes and shoes and socks.
At this moment, the girl ignored any feelings of shyness and hurriedly began to put on her clothes one by one.
A lot of jokes were made in the process.
For example, due to the scarcity of materials that can be made into clothes, the residents of Mirrodin have no concept of underwear or panties at all. They usually just embed metal directly into their bodies and call it a day.
So Meililai put on her outer coat and trousers first, and then put her bra and underwear on the outside.
Later, after Zuo Si's explanation and correction, she realized how big a mistake she had made, and hurriedly changed it back with a blushing face.
After getting dressed and digesting the food in her stomach, the girl followed Zuo Si back to the upper laboratory. She first underwent a general physical examination, then had two tubes of blood drawn, and was finally arranged to rest in an empty room on the second floor of the laboratory.
As for Zuo Si himself, he returned to the secret room on the third underground floor, first stuffed the blood sample into the space container, then changed all the equipment on his body back to card form, and used the ability of [Sgreen's Neck Guard] to instantly transfer his soul and consciousness to the clone in the floating city.
A few minutes later, he found the head of the biological and necromancy research department with Melila's blood sample.
"Dr. White, I have an urgent task for you."
"Oh? What is that?!"
White stopped his research and asked in surprise.
"Use all means to figure out the unusual part of this blood. Remember, this task has the highest priority. I need to know the results as soon as possible. Other research projects can be postponed for the time being."
After saying that, Zuo Si handed over both blood samples to the other party.
"Understood!"
White took it without saying a word, labeled it as the highest priority, and placed it on a conspicuous shelf.
Then he picked up a report that was more than ten pages thick and handed it to Zuo Si.
"This is the test and research result of the last blood sample. Please take a look."
“So soon?”
Zuo Si was a little surprised and quickly scanned it. He immediately asked in an uncertain tone: "You mean, that blood sample contains a hidden gene fragment that has never been seen before? It has three more pairs of chromosomes than other humans in this world?"
White nodded slightly: "Yes. It is the gene fragments carried by these three extra pairs of chromosomes that determine the uniqueness of the Targaryen family.
Of course, it could also be that the Valyrians are unique.
However, this civilization and race have already perished, so we have no way of verifying it.
If you allow it, this gene can be immediately added to the bloodlines available to players, and even some professions such as dragon riders can be developed based on it.
But the prerequisite is to breed enough dragons from that world through magic cloning technology."
"Got it. I'll mention this to Vanessa later and let him make adjustments according to his needs."
Zuo Si nodded thoughtfully, then quickly turned and left.
Without asking, you know that the blood research and test report in his hand was taken from the "Dragon Mother" before...
