Daisy and Gibberne quickly told Merlin about their discovery in the basement of the Church of the Earth Goddess. Merlin followed Daisy and Gibberne into the basement filled with a foul and eerie atmosphere.
When his eyes swept over the twisted human skin hanging on the wall and the disgusting pieces of meat in the petri dishes, his brows were tightly furrowed and his eyes were full of disgust and vigilance.
Then he noticed a tube of golden-red blood that was sparkling with a mysterious luster. This tube of blood seemed to have some strange power, emitting a faint light in the dimness.
Merlin then turned his attention to the papers and research reports scattered on the table.
He picked up a yellowed and blood-stained experimental record, which contained dense records of North's crazy experimental process.
"Purpose of the experiment: To extract the essence of the God of War's blood, purify the divine blood, and try to apply it to awakening bloodline."
"By tracking and capturing the known descendants of the God of War bloodline, we obtained experimental samples. After observation, we found that the powers displayed by the descendants of the God of War bloodline of different races have their own characteristics. For example, the descendants of the God of War bloodline of the beast race are good at explosive power output, and can often burst out amazing destructive power in an instant in battle; while the descendants of the God of War bloodline of the elves are endowed with agile skills and strong magical affinity, and can flexibly shuttle in battle and cast powerful magic..."
"In order to further study the essence of the God of War's blood, we used live dissection to dismember the descendants of the God of War's bloodline and draw detailed sketches to understand the relationship between their special body structure and bloodline power. From important organs such as the heart and liver to every bone and blood vessel, detailed records were made."
"During the dismemberment process, we discovered that under extreme pain, the will to survive can separate the divine blood essence from the blood. The divine blood contains terrifying power, and the body is a limited container. Once it is extracted, a slight carelessness will cause a violent energy explosion. After many failures and adjustments, we finally succeeded in extracting a relatively stable tube of golden-red blood essence. We will continue to conduct fusion and application experiments in the future..."
The more Merlin read, the gloomier his expression became. The madness and cruelty displayed in these records were far beyond his imagination.
In pursuit of power, North did not hesitate to do such inhumane things!
Merlin quickly flipped through the documents and keenly noticed that many of the volumes of information were not written by North.
After careful identification, he discovered that these documents actually came from the Ancient God Cult.
Merlin's eyes suddenly turned cold and he cast his gaze towards the experimental instruments.
He leaned over, looked closely, and gently stroked the surface of the vessel. With his profound magical attainments and rich knowledge, he quickly came to a conclusion.
"These things are professional equipment for magic experiments. They are not something a poor guy like North can get." Merlin's voice was firm.
Daisy approached with a puzzled look on her face, looking at the strange-looking experimental equipment, and couldn't help asking, "Merlin, are these things precious?"
Merlin stood up, pointed at the experimental equipment, and explained seriously, "Of course they are precious. Look at these, they are all advanced items for studying magic, alchemy, and other fields. These devices are not only complicated to make, but also require extremely rare materials to make. Take this magic extractor for example, it can accurately extract magic from various substances and ensure the purity and stability of magic. And this element blending dish can allow magic elements of different properties to blend with each other under controlled conditions, which is crucial for studying high-level magic. Even if the Magicians' Guild wants to put together such a complete set of equipment, it will take a lot of effort and use a lot of connections and resources."
Merlin frowned slightly and continued, "Moreover, if you look at the contents recorded in this experimental log, the extraction process of many substances is extremely complicated and requires the use of large-scale magic array equipment to complete. Take this golden red blood essence as an example. From the log, it is necessary to extract it with a magic array that can withstand huge magic fluctuations, and also with a series of precise magic operations. Obviously, there are no such conditions here. In other words, the people who provide these resources and technical support to North must have a large experimental site, and the magic facilities in this site are quite complete. Their purpose is definitely not simple."
Merlin looked solemn, turned to look at Daisy, and asked, "Has North been in the Dawn Empire all these years?"
Daisy nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, Palace Master. They have been active in the Dawn Empire. We have been in this temporary base for more than half a year. Before that, we were always moving around, but our activities basically never left the Dawn Empire."
Merlin pondered for a moment and analyzed, "If that's the case, then the force that is helping North behind the scenes is most likely in the capital of the Dawn Empire. And it's definitely not the Ancient God Cult. If the Ancient God Cult dared to conduct magic experiments so blatantly, they would have been discovered long ago with the Empire's intelligence network."
After that, Merlin fell into deep thought, muttering to himself: "Which forces in the Dawn Empire are capable of doing this? The Alchemist Guild? No, I knew they didn't have this ability when I went to the Alchemist Guild that day. The Magician Association? The Magician Association in the Arcane City has been suppressed, so it shouldn't be them. The Dawn Empire Royal Family? The Royal Family has always been cautious, and they wouldn't easily get involved in such a risky and cruel experiment, not to mention that they have their own divine bloodline inheritance..."
Suddenly, Merlin had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he remembered the scene when he first met North that day.
At that time, North was chatting with a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar. The clothes that the middle-aged man was wearing were actually the academician uniform of Dawn Academy!
Merlin couldn't help but blurt out, "So it's at Dawn Academy! Someone at Dawn Academy is colluding with the Ancient God Cult to study the bloodline of the God of War! Why is that?"
The questions in his mind surged like a tide, making him feel more and more that there was a huge conspiracy behind this matter, and Dawn Academy was probably deeply involved in it.
Merlin was silent for a moment when he thought of this. What he had to do now was to be careful not to alert the enemy. This matter was of great importance and could not be taken lightly. He had to act with caution.
Merlin took out the communication crystal and started looking for someone to collect intelligence. The intelligence organization he had established recently could finally come in handy. He hoped that it would not disappoint him.
In the prosperous yet mysterious city of the Dawn Empire's imperial capital, the night fell like a huge piece of black silk, quietly covering the streets and alleys.
At this moment, no matter it was the fortune teller who was in the noble mansion and fortune-teller for the nobles, or the fortune teller who was answering questions for passers-by in the busy shops on the street, or the fortune teller who was in the mysterious fortune-teller house near Dawn Academy, they all received the message from Merlin at the same time.
