"Come with me."

After saying that, Emilian winked at the elementary apprentice. After the two entered the door, the latter closed the door of the potion shop and locked it with a bolt, blocking people's inquiry eyes outside the door.

"I just said it straight, are you from the Southern Kingdom?"

"Southern?"

"Oh, this is what we call it here, referring to people living in the southern continent."

After the development of the navigation industry, people's understanding of the world became even further. According to the report brought back by the navigators, there is another nation living in the southern continent. Their belief system and cultivation methods have nothing in common with the people of the Dom Kingdom. There is no faith, and there is no complete military system.

The fact that that nation has survived to this day is that they have developed unparalleled physique and combat skills in extremely harsh environments.

The sailors who fled back said that they met a southerner who had dismantled four ships alone.

In Emilian's perception, the Doma people who can tame the ice dragon do not exist. Compared with them, this person is simply a different species in human skin.

"No, the village I live in is deep in a canyon."

In his time, all over the world was occupied by believers of the gods, who established city-states everywhere. Before the war broke out, Gu Yun often went to the city to use the objects he had hunted to exchange for some novel things with the believers.

"Since that's the case, what you want to learn from me should not be ordinary pharmacy, right?"

A person who deals with the Ice Dragon will definitely not be interested in collecting herbs and treating injuries.

However, Emilian changed her view because she was not an ordinary pharmacist from the beginning. As a witch hunter, she successfully combined the two kinds of knowledge and created potions.

For her, Gu Yun was like a research sample that fell from the sky.

"That's right, I recently encountered a monster..."

……………………………………………………………………

“That is, they can become someone else’s appearance through contact, well… it’s somewhat similar to a case I’ve heard recently.”

After listening to Gu Yun's description patiently, Emilian took out a file and spread it on the table.

"A few days ago, the Hermits of the Twister Mountain discovered a monster that could disguise itself as a human, which also explains why they successfully escaped under a heavily guarded patrol after attacking the Baron's son. In this case, the target was a demon hunter who had been registered with the Hermits of the Twister Mountain for more than ten years."

The file that was spread out was the announcement about werewolfs issued by the Mizushan Hermits. Some people believe that more werewolfs are still hiding in the holy capital, and now more witch hunters have begun secret investigations.

"It is said that holy oil and silver weapons can verify their identities and cause effective killing. We can simply divide the shaped monsters you mentioned just now into two types - the two shaped monsters you killed can be regarded as first-generation products, and you guess that the shaped monsters that may not work in the holy water and silver weapons may not work, we can tentatively define them as second-generation products."

Emilian started working, and in fact, during the period when Gu Yun left, she had been working on the werewolf case.

What Gu Yun mentioned just now happened to fit her guess.

"The interesting question is, how exactly did the second generation with more powerful capabilities come into being?"

"Their bloodline is more pure?"

Gu Yun guessed based on his personal experience.

In his opinion, the relationship between the first and second generations is similar to that of the sub-dragons and the real dragons. Most sub-dragons have some of the characteristics of giant dragons, but their personality is violent and aggressive, but their actual combat power is much weaker than that of the dragons, just like inferior products of failure in evolution.

"Indeed, a few years ago, I discovered a virus when I was wandering away from a border village. The virus was a monster similar to bats. Individuals who sucked blood by them would become sick and die suddenly in a short time. However, after these individuals died, their bodies would become a breeding ground for viruses and become walking corpses. These corpses inherited the characteristics of the host to some extent, fearing the sun and loving night walks. The witch hunters who were injured by them were quickly infected with the same virus."

In Emilian's view, this is the difference between pure blood and inferior blood, which is the "generation" product she mentioned.

"But in subsequent research, I discovered an interesting individual - after being completely eroded by the virus, he still retained consciousness. Not only was his physical strength different from that of ordinary people, he also had the ability to command other zombies."

"Then what?"

"I then managed to catch him and did some in-depth research by the way."

She pointed out that she was naturally tying the other party to the stone platform and testing him various potions while retaining his consciousness.

"So I discovered an interesting phenomenon - his tolerance for targeted exorcism props has become extremely high, and he can hardly cause harm to ordinary zombies. So I think the theory of bloodline that people often mention is not always correct. In many cases, the change from one generation to the second generation is not genetic but evolutionary."

"You mean, the morphological monsters I encountered have evolved?"

This is indeed an angle that Gu Yun had never thought about, but when he thought about it, he felt that Emilyan said it very well in line with normal logic.

Unlike most monsters he has encountered, vampires, werewolfs, morphed monsters, and even the various evil spirits he encountered in City X, these supernatural creatures have independent thinking ability.

If you have the ability to think, you will try to become stronger and overcome your weaknesses.

"After all, I have never really seen a monster. Unless you can catch it and put it on the stone platform for me to study, I can't guarantee that my conclusion must be correct."

"If it were you, what would you do when you encountered a second-generation monster?"

Gu Yun decided to learn about the experts' opinions.

"I will arrest all the suspects for research. If you catch a hundred people, there will always be one or two who can match the number - but since you ask me about this, I guess you must be unable to do this for some reason."

Emilian saw Gu Yun's ability. Although the latter was not good at engaging in research, he was fully capable of killing all the suspects directly.

In fact, in Dom's history, when similar situations arise, those in power will often send troops to massacre the city and villages in an attitude of rather than letting go of one by one.

Gu Yun nodded. He had no idea of ​​becoming an international wanted criminal yet.

"Since it's a lot of trouble, it's not completely impossible."

"for example?"

"For example... do you know why holy oil and silver weapons can cause damage to monsters?"
