"A few generations back from Lucivia, there was a guy who planned to open the door to other worlds through a large number of sacrifices. This failed due to being exposed, and he himself was killed by the monster that appeared in the crack he opened in a hurry. He ate it, but it was enough to be convicted. These are big things, so you can find the case files in places like the trial court."
"Why are the descendants also included?" Lu Ning and Saber asked together.
"This is also a helpless move, because the perpetrators of crimes against humanity generally have some mental skills. They even do not hesitate to destroy and reconstruct their own minds to obtain some gnosis. In short, this thing has been verified to be influenced by blood. and genetic, so their offspring must be strictly controlled. Of course, although they are called slaves, they actually have no masters, but they must be monitored at all times to prevent the second problematic person from appearing. "
"Can such a person continue to be passed down to the next generation?" Saber frowned.
"Their lives can still go on, and there is no problem in marrying ordinary people and having children. Lucivia is also unlucky. The surveillance will probably end in another generation. On the other hand, her best luck is to come to Egypt. Walong, here we don’t discriminate against her, and we help her avoid the crime of traveling alone.”
"But after you said so much, you still haven't confirmed whether she is." Lu Ning said.
"In terms of her origin, it is possible that she is. After all, she was alone when she came to Evarong, and she was still a slave. No one can tell what she will encounter on the road. But now she has been studying at Evarong for nine years. Well, if those people thought she had rebelled, why didn’t they take action last time?”
Last time, of course, refers to the last exchange meeting.
"Maybe they didn't take action last time." Sabre said, "With so many secrets involved, this must be an action that requires long-term planning. To be safe, it must be to accumulate strength and explode at once. In this case... the original problem of the slave is very difficult. People are suspicious.”
"Um?"
Lu Ning explained: "Since the blood of slaves may contain spiritual interference from their ancestors, from another perspective, those who are planning these terrorist attacks are probably willing to awaken this will. No matter from which perspective, That Lucivia is very dangerous."
After a slight pause, Lu Ning turned to Sabre: "So did they mention the name of any organization?"
"There are three." Saber nodded, "The three of them seem to be from different organizations, and the names of the organizations were also mentioned. Star Peeper Oviedo, Star Eater Xiunoplan, and Star Caller Agatori."
"These remnants are not dead yet." Pierre snorted.
"The remnants?"
"The remnants of the Star Ring Sect, the cult that took advantage of the chaos, were wiped out in the early days of Evarang, but they couldn't be killed completely. The slave rules were tailor-made for them." Pierre looked disdainful. "They spend all day doing things like sacrifices, soul refining, and time and space vortexes. They are just a group of pure lunatics and villains. Then I understand why they dare to come to Evarang to cause trouble. The leader of the coalition forces who destroyed them back then He is the original founder of Evarang, and he has a bloody feud."
"And it is the most prosperous exchange meeting in Evarong."
"The incident a few days ago was probably just a precursor." Lu Ning glanced at Pierre, "They are testing the security, defense response speed and search capabilities of Evarang."
Pierre scratched his hair: "We have to report it. This kind of matter must be handled by the Magic Council."
"Of course, we have to tell Xueni about this. But we can't be idle. Now that little people like me at the end of the screening have been singled out, it proves that their plans have reached a stage where everything is interlocked and detailed. To a certain extent, they will control every point. The advantage of this kind of plan is that every step is traceable, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to cause chain defeats."
"Then I'll ask more about this. After all, Evarang... I don't want any big problems to happen here." Saber stood up and was about to leave.
"Thank you for informing me. Please pay attention to your own safety. Those guys must be extremely vicious and merciless people. If you have any information, please contact Mr. Pierre. He can help you contact someone who can help you. "
Lu Ning asked Pierre to send the person out, while she sat in the room and meditated.
For the last three organization names she was asked about, she had seen the title "Star Peeper" before, and it was in the notebook Soygo gave her not long ago.
After returning to the laboratory, she used her impression to quickly find the page of notes that recorded the Star Peeper's information. It was a complete page and recorded a question and answer session.
Question: When performing parallel alchemy procedures with high compounding and chaotic transformation, is there a way to ensure the success rate?
At first, Lu Ning didn't pay much attention to this issue because the gap between her technical levels was too big. This already involves the secondary transformation and step-by-step transformation techniques in alchemy, methods that even senior alchemists dare not try casually.
But if it is explained by analogy, it is easy to understand. Lu Ning's alchemy has always been a transformation, that is, material input and output exchange for the substance obtained. This is the basis of alchemy. Then the next step is to use a batch of materials to sequentially exchange various substances such as copper, iron, gold, silver, etc., and make them complete the final production according to their own intentions.
This question is about how to ensure the success rate of a high-precision alchemical product that requires a combination of various substances, and does not require step-by-step transformation, but uses laminated refining arrays for simultaneous transformation.
The answer below is Soygo's.
[Even I cannot guarantee the success rate, because increasing the success rate requires paying a lot of money, time, energy, expensive materials, high-quality tools... If you insist on a method, maybe some lost technologies There are methods available.
If you know about the Star Ring Sect, although their reputation is not very good, they have obtained knowledge that does not belong to this world through many forbidden techniques. The department under the sect that is responsible for various craftsman-type magics is called Star Peepers. After the demise of the Star Circle Sect, some of their research materials were circulated, and I have read several similar incomplete manuscripts.
There is a very primitive but effective method, which is also their old profession, heaping human lives.
The current trend in mainland China is respect for life and equality of human rights. I have no objection to this. But this is not the case in alchemy, as we first learned, exchange of equivalents. Life, which is extremely precious in human subjective consciousness, is nothing more than a weight on the cold scale customized by nature, or even a weight with universal characteristics. Star Peeper has mastered similar technology, and no matter how low the success rate is, by sacrificing a large number of lives and souls, it can be pushed to a 100% level. 】
[Follow-up question: Are there any references to Star Peeper in the teacher’s results? 】
[No one can refuse that profound and wonderful knowledge, at least not me. Except for the bottom line, I haven't hurt anyone, I have tried everything else. 】
The words in the notes were probably beautified. Lu Ning suspected that Soygo was spraying words such as "Your teacher, I will do that kind of thing" and "Use your lost brain to think" to his apprentice. A few key words were missed.
In any case, Soygo did know some relevant matters. As for whether he knew more, Lu Ning felt that she would not tell him if she asked him.
She walked to the alchemy table and began to refine the potion for Catherine, which also relieved the depressed feeling in her heart.

At about three o'clock in the morning, on a street in the Red Lead District of the central block, two magician guards ran past in a hurry, leaving a row of footsteps on the quiet street.
At the entrance of an alley, there was a magic carriage parked. The driver stood there a little uneasily and saw two guards rushing to meet it.
"Did you sound the alarm?" A magician came forward to question, while another walked into the alley.
"Yes Yes……"
"Tell me what happened." The magician waved his hand, and a crystal flew out of his sleeve and floated in the air.
While the driver was describing what happened intermittently, the magician who walked into the alley had already pulled out the contents.
It is also a guard costume, but the metallic color on the skin shows that it is an artificial life form.
…the corpse.
The magician who took the note frowned. Artificial life is widely used in guard patrols. Although it cannot use magic because it does not have a soul, it does not hinder its own sturdiness and magicians attach various triggering magic arrays to its surface to really fight against Evarang. Artificial life guards are capable of suppressing high-level magicians one-on-one.
"died?"
"Well, the signs of life are gone, we have to hand it over to the technical department."
"Did the preliminary testing reveal anything?"
The magician dragged the "corpse" under the mercury lamp. The bright light also illuminated the mottled traces of magic on the artificial life.
"Abdomen, piercing type magic, this is the first one. Later, I probably realized that it was not a human being, and the attack on the chest and neck was replaced by pollution type magic." The magician who took the note quickly described the situation, "New scars added to the body There are thirteen spots in total, including sharp cut marks. According to the standard hardness comparison of artificial life forms, the quality should be at the sharp level. There are no traces of magic damage near the cut scars of weapons. He is not a magic weapon type fighter, but should belong to the dual cultivation fighting type."
The two magicians quickly completed the inspection, levitated the body and were about to leave. The driver quickly shouted: "Well, I ask for asylum! This kind of thing is wrong, right? As the first discoverer, I should be protected right!"
The person who took the transcript looked back at him: "Are you sure?"
"Of course! Fortunately this didn't happen to me!"
"Okay... you follow us, Erqi, and send the witness asylum application."

Lu Ning got up early.
Refining the potion was not difficult. She even reversed the formula and made a bottle of relief potion just in case. But when she walked up to the store and walked around the back kitchen, she found that Pierre was not there, and there was no note left.
"Strange...were called away?"
Lu Ning dug out some things from the food cabinet and started to pack breakfast. While he was busy, the kitchen door rang softly, and a sneaky voice shouted from the crack in the door: "Lu Ning~"
She didn't answer, shoveled an omelette out of the pan, and prepared to fry two more pieces of meat.
The people outside the door stopped pretending and opened the door and walked in. It was White Rose.
"It's just the two of us. My brother is not here." She found a clean table and sat on it.
"What did he do?" Lu Ning threw the pieces of meat into the pot.
"There's something interesting."
"whats the matter?"
"I'll tell you when I make breakfast." White Rose raised a charming smile.
Lu Ning felt more comfortable making friends with people like Shang Wenxue.
It's not for any other reason, but fundamentally speaking, Shang Wenxue is the person closest to her among her friends. Shu Xingruo and Fujii Xueyin were too righteous, while people like Zhao Xihua and Cheng Wulin were biased in their behavior. When working with them, Lu Ning would inevitably have to accommodate them. Of course this is okay, friends always have to accommodate each other.
But Shang Wenxue will not appear in this situation. Although the two are different in many ways, they can agree on the purpose of action, and sometimes they don't even need to communicate. The two discovered this when they trained together before.
"So your performance basically convinced me that it was you." White Rose said while chewing her breakfast.
"Isn't it because I recognized you first that I dared to behave like that?"
"You just can't help it when you encounter a mystery, and the search and inference method is not so commonly used here."
Lu Ning raised an eyebrow: "That's all?"
"And I'm very familiar with your tone. Just like you can recognize me by my tone, right?"
"So, you snitched?"
White Rose's fork stopped: "Why should I tell you the secret?"
Just as Lu Ning was about to speak, the other party dropped the fork into the plate with a clang.
"You deliberately used it in such an obvious way, didn't you just want me to recognize it? So what is your purpose, test? Or inducement? You didn't tell me the secret, right? Then why don't you believe me?"
"My fault." Lu Ning apologized simply, "After all, the profit..."
"Are we the ones who care about that score?"
Shang Wenxue was not really angry. Just like Lu Ning knew some of her shortcomings, she also knew that Lu Ning retained a skeptical attitude towards anyone or anything. She understood it and ignored it lightly, which actually made Lu Ning very grateful.
"Let's get down to business. How are the clues on your side? I didn't see Pierre this morning. I don't know what happened."
"My brother called him away. He found the remains of an underground sacrificial ceremony in the Diamond District, which used animal sacrifices. He needed to invite some relevant knowledgeable people, so he asked Pierre to help invite people. "
"Underground sacrificial ceremony?"
"Yes, it's not big. It's about a five-by-five ceremony platform with a small circle of space around it. Animal sacrifice is allowed in some countries. After all, some climate magic is very needed. Normally we don't care. But that incident just happened a few days ago, and all unusual things must be investigated. After all, it is impossible for this place in Evarong to require any sacrifices."
