【Eight hundred years ago】
In the center of the vast European continent, there is such a country.
Its territory is not large, but its prosperity has always been maintained by prosperous trade.
For a country surrounded by many big countries, this has to be said to be no small miracle.
It stands to reason that even because of its special geographical location, the surrounding big countries are afraid of directly attacking it for fear of being affected by it, and are afraid of triggering a full-scale melee. However, they secretly use economic containment to weaken its development and cause the people to lose their prosperous life. , thus forcing this small country to secretly defect to a certain big country or collapse on its own, is also a good method.
However, the fact is that because of a certain material that is in hot demand in this small country - medicine, the so-called economic containment has become a lie.
This is an era of frequent wars.
As long as there is a war, soldiers will be injured, and the injuries of soldiers will affect their combat effectiveness. In order to avoid defeat and occupy a more favorable situation, a special and effective drug for repairing injuries is necessary.
It was precisely because the previous kings of this small country saw this clearly that they secretly paid many times the generous treatment of any other country to attract outstanding alchemists from all over the country. The prepared drugs were quickly promoted to those countries that were in a state of war. Until they each discovered what this small country was doing, it was already too late, because they had already become dependent on those drugs, and the country that gave up the advantages of this drug first Will definitely be the loser in the war.
At this point, the big countries that finally realized that those alchemists who were dedicated to refining artificial life and wanted to set foot in the taboo field and this effect began to follow the example of the previous kings of the small countries and began to recruit alchemists to analyze the ingredients of the medicine. and technology, trying to produce it on its own.
However, at this time, almost all the outstanding alchemists on this continent have gathered in that small country.
Even if previous drug ingredients and technologies are resolved, they will launch the next generation of more effective drugs at a faster rate.
As for this newer generation of medicines, it only requires those excellent alchemists to use their extremely rich knowledge of medicines and spend a little time between experiments to get them.
Moreover, the practice of the previous kings was to launch a new generation of drugs with better efficacy only after other countries have analyzed contemporary drug products and canceled the order of contemporary drugs. Moreover, they began to promote them comprehensively as soon as they were launched. The prices of the drugs increased and the orders were cancelled. Some countries directly discuss trade based on the new price, while other countries charge a batch of discounts based on the price of the previous-generation drugs before charging the purchase money for the new-generation drugs at the new price.
But before that, the previous kings would never take the initiative to develop any better drugs to replace the current pharmaceutical products, which made people angry and helpless.
So later, because no matter how hard other countries tried, the pharmaceutical products launched by this small country were always better than theirs, and only a little better, but those ones were just enough to affect the advantage on the battlefield, so gradually Since then, other countries have given up on the idea of 'analyzing medicine and making it their own', and gradually ignored the existence of alchemists.
As a result, the remaining outstanding alchemists also gathered in that small country in order to obtain better treatment and experimental funds.
Then, the previous king passed away peacefully while the country was safe and prosperous.
The one who succeeded the previous king was a young king with extremely huge and strong desires.
The young king longed for something all the time.
The young king knew very well that the ultimate goal of these alchemists was to refine artificial life forms. If you want to refine artificial life forms, you need to analyze the structure of 'life' first. For this, countless people must be sacrificed. 'life'.
It is not enough to rely solely on the criminals provided by the previous kings.
However, because of the hard days when there were no experimental materials for criminals, these alchemists cherished the criminals provided by the previous king and cherished the contract with the previous king, so they never touched the people of this country. Even one... Because the alchemists who have been touched are not only technical data, but also themselves have become experimental materials for other alchemists.
When using peers as experimental materials, these alchemists tend to gain greater happiness and satisfaction, so they do not need much attention from the previous kings. It is enough to rely on the mutual supervision of these alchemists.
Then, while the alchemists were clutching their pockets and conducting experiments, the young king ascended the throne.
The first thing the king did after he ascended the throne was to summon the outstanding alchemists and said to them:
"Liberate your desires... But before that, the first thing you have to do is to satisfy my desires, because this is the first step of everything."
The king promised to fully support the alchemists' research, but the alchemists must also satisfy the king's desires.
And the king longs for powerful power, powerful enough to dominate everything in the world!
As a result, the core coin that condensed the biological power was born.
The birth of Core Coin and Oz Drive gave Wang great power.
And the king longs for desire, vents desire, and praises desire.
As a result, the king's subjects also began to desire, vent their desires, and praise their desires.
The king used this power wantonly and freely, leading his fanatical subjects on his journey of conquest.
On the battlefield, when the king used the bird link group to fly into the sky, no one could shoot him down, and the king's enemies could only be annihilated by the flames falling from the sky on their way back.
If there are not enough soldiers, the king will use the insect system that gathers the power of insect thunder. One person can turn into an army of thousands and wreak havoc on the battlefield.
When someone makes a sneak attack on the royal capital, the king will use the cat-related team with smart and scorching power to invade the enemy country with overwhelming power. In the blink of an eye, he can take the king's life. As punishment, the king will use the cat that the king depends on to survive. The water source evaporated in one fell swoop, leaving not even a drop of water.
The king is not afraid of water battles, because the king has a water-type combination that condenses the power of water-type animals, and can directly destroy the invincible fleet of the enemy country on the seaside in the water.
The king also has a weight link unit that can control gravity at will, splitting the earth and burying an elite army in an instant.
The surrounding countries relied on the king's power and surrendered to the king either actively or forcibly.
Gradually, that small country became the well-deserved overlord of this continent!
The king ruled over a vast territory, made the people of the defeated countries slaves, and took for himself the treasures in each country's treasury.
As promised, the king also gave full support to the alchemists' research.
Then,
The first Greed was born.
The king looked at the king of birds slowly waking up, smiled and blessed softly.
"Happy birthday, Anku."
