The Puppeteer of Academy City

When he got the news, Lu Cun was shocked.

He knew that with Director Shiokishi's character, he wouldn't care about the life and death of some thugs below. But this act of directly killing his subordinates is undoubtedly a provocation to his authority, and even more so, a provocation to his safety.

Director Shiokishi will not let go of any factor that may threaten his safety.

This is definitely a huge challenge for Lucun's future development.

Baiyin Yao's face was full of indifference: "That's their own court for death! You also know that our Baiyin's taboo..."

"He wants your blood?" Lu Cun immediately reacted, "How could he know the effect of silver blood?"

Baiyin Yao was not surprised: "In a certain circle, this is already an open secret—Baiyin's blood is the truth of the panacea!"

"Those alchemy schools in the West have long offered a reward, and they want to get a piece of silver blood for research at any cost!" Baiyin Yao said, "It's just that our silver is almost all in the country, so they don't have a chance. Occasionally Bai Yin who goes abroad to perform missions will also be equipped with a partner as a bodyguard."

She pointed to Liu Yinjian: "I just guessed that this kind of situation would happen, so I hired Liu Yinjian to be my partner."

"The blood of silver...the elixir of life..." Lu Cun sneered, "It's really a tempting treasure."

Although he was still full of hostility towards Baiyin Yao, he stopped entangled in this issue.

Regardless of the old school or the new generation of silver, the attitude on the "blood of silver" is completely consistent.

That is, these "silver blood" can be lost in battle, and can be digested internally in the "silver" organization, but they must not flow out to other forces.

This is not the temptation of the "silver" who are greedy for immortality, but they must be tough on this point.

Otherwise, the Baiyin carrying the panacea will become the "walking elixir" in the eyes of outsiders, and it is not difficult to imagine that the next step is to hunt and kill Baiyin in a targeted manner.

Moreover, outsiders will not distinguish whether you are an old-school silver with "blood of silver" or a new-generation silver without "blood of silver". It will only attack all silver indiscriminately, and the relatively weaker new generation is even more dangerous.

Therefore, the new generation of silver will also go all out to attack those who covet the "blood of silver".

Yes, the most fundamental difference between the old and new schools of silver is whether there is "blood of silver". Because the "panacea" once refined by ancient alchemists - the water of life has been used up in the last century.

Now, except for some elders who may have kept a few copies, there is no other "water of life" in this world.

Therefore, the silver organization has already faced the threat of talent shortage.

The salvage measure adopted for this is the "new generation silver", which has been officially launched as early as two centuries ago. Moreover, silver that does not rely on the water of life has also existed since ancient times.

The efficacy of the water of life is "longevity", not "eternal life", but to prolong the life cycle of the drinker by at least five times.

In other words, every five years for people who drink the water of life is equivalent to one year for ordinary people and one year older.

At the same time, its greatest effectiveness is its quick recovery ability comparable to that of Wolverine - of course, the regeneration of broken limbs and the like cannot be achieved - in addition, no matter how serious the injury is, as long as the blood of silver does not flow, it will will restore itself. Even the various diseases and hidden injuries of the original body will be completely repaired.

This is the ability that Silver is most interested in. In order to fight against the automatic puppets who are immortal and fearless of pain, Baiyin must also obtain the same level of survivability.

The third effect of the water of life is that it can dissolve "memory".

Baiyin who drinks the water of life will integrate all his life experience and skills into his "blood of silver".

If a newcomer accepts all of his "blood of silver" completely, then he will get these memories and instantly master all the skills he has honed over time.

Many complex knowledge of Baiyin, puppet manipulation and combat skills are all passed down in this way.

But the side effects of doing so are also very serious—newcomers who accept all the memories of their predecessors will often change their own personalities as well, turning into an existence like the reincarnation of senior Baiyin.

After several vicious incidents, the Silver Organization banned this kind of operation, and instead processed the recycled Silver Blood, selectively retaining the knowledge, experience, and skills needed for inheritance.

Since the water of life dried up in the last century, all newly born "old school" silver is manufactured by relying on the "silver blood" left by the predecessors.

The "new generation" silver did not use the blood of silver.

They took another path - human body transformation, including but not limited to physical enhancement, mechanized transformation, meditation practice, etc.

Through these external means, the new generation of silver can obtain a powerful combat power comparable to that of the old school of silver.

Of course, these are just expedient measures taken due to the depletion of the water of life. Compared with the comprehensive and non-negative enhancement brought by the water of life, the new generation produced by using various "advanced technologies" to transform and strengthen is nothing but The "degraded version" of silver is nothing more than that.

Perhaps the best of them may be stronger than most of the old school silver ~www.NovelMTL.com~ but their longevity is always a blemish.

Not to mention prolonging at least five times the natural lifespan, because too many crazy and radical surgeries have been performed, the body of the new generation Baiyin has already been overwhelmed.

And for a while, in order to allow the new generation of silvers to obtain a self-healing ability comparable to that of the old school silvers, their body metabolism speed was specially adjusted during the transformation operation.

But because this would greatly reduce the lifespan of the modified person, it was quickly banned.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand why the contradiction between the old and new factions of the "Silver" organization is so great.

Because they are actually not the same kind of existence...

Of course, they are no longer human beings in the normal sense.

Lu Cun is unwilling to continue entangled on this issue, after all, it involves "Baiyin's blood", even the elders of the new generation of Baiyin will not stand by him.

What's more, Lu Cun didn't care about those men in black suits. He only raised his opinion to Bai Yinyao because it would bring him trouble.

He shook his head to get rid of these thoughts, and calmed down: "Forget it... The task you gave before has already come to fruition."

Baiyin Yao Liu raised his eyebrows, and his face showed joy: "Really? Did you really find it? I didn't believe it at first, but there are really magicians hiding in this academy city!"

"It's not a magician, but an alchemist." Lu Cun corrected, "According to the collected information, that guy is not good at magic other than alchemy."

"Very good, specialization is more worth looking forward to." Bai Yinyao said that she didn't care about the slight difference in title, "Then where is he—Aoreos Isad, the most advanced alchemist known in the world, where are you now?"
