  Chapter 167 Possibility of distortion (13)

   "It's the first time I saw a Terran with a cold and a fever. I didn't expect it to be my own brother."

   After Ian finished feeding the medicine, he stretched out his hand again and pressed Elan's forehead.

  Golden source quality flowed, and a silver halo flowed in the boy's eyes: "Although it's not very serious, Elan has always been healthy. What's going on?"

  When returning home, Ian immediately noticed that something was wrong with Elan. He immediately used the vision vision and the silver chip to perform a double scan, and learned that the other party had a fever.

   Take the medicine, cook the medicine, and carry out simple refining and purification of the medicine. All of Ian's actions are done in one go, which can be said to demonstrate the excellent basic skills of an alchemist.

   After Elan drank the purified antipyretic soup, which was almost half of the alchemy potion, the fever was indeed contained, at least he didn't look so uncomfortable.

   "Brother?" Halfway through, Elan woke up once in a daze and wanted to get up to say hello, but was quickly pushed back by Ian and continued to lie on the bed.

   "Take a good rest and don't move around."

   After completing these emergency treatments, Ian began to conduct an in-depth inspection.

  Essential quality, psionic energy and chips were used together, and soon he found the problem.

  The result was mixed for him.

   "Aberration...or in other words, is part of the blood returning to the ancestors..."

  Ian’s parents have produced both sublimated and deformed ones. Generally speaking, at least the genetic talent cannot be said to be ordinary.

  Uncle Oceana’s ‘deformed bone’ is the abnormality of the ‘steel bone’ of the sublimation organ. It cannot develop successfully because it does not have enough nutrients. In addition, the source material structure is not comprehensive, so it develops incorrectly.

  Theoretically speaking, the Terrans, a race with perfect genes, would not have any distortion even if they were married for hundreds of years. Even in the radiation environment, Ian doubted the possibility of mutation.

   Judging from his current experience, if the Terrans add a little bit of strengthening, space may not be a problem physically, and cosmic rays may not be deformed after decades of scour.

  So, the radiation gene disease he guessed earlier is actually impossible to happen to Terrans.

  Then the question is, what is the distortion?

  Ian combined some classics of bioalchemy and some experience from his previous life, and boldly speculated that the distortion may be the result of the random intermarriage of the "ancestors" in the lost era in the early days of modern Terra civilization.

  At that time, there were not so many taboos among sublimators, and everyone was unaware of distortions. Many sublimators with different bloodlines married each other, so that they gave birth to a large number of chimera-like aberrations.

  These early mutants, lycanthropes, and even the vast number of monsters and aliens in legends, some even possessed extremely powerful power, and even became the earliest inspiration for the path of truth at that time.

   But for the most part, they are distorted and weak beings, but there is a pair of parents with strong power who can protect them from being eliminated naturally.

  These mutated bloodlines were passed down, and then hybridized and fused with each other, polluting the gene pool of the entire early human being.

   It is well known—at least to the sublimated ones—that the origins of the countries were the major refuges after the disaster of the sky. At that time, the number of human beings was rare.

  Nowadays, human genes are no longer perfect, but there are many scattered blood gene fragments mixed in it... This is enough to make human beings unable to touch the high-level genetic disaster of the road to sublimation.

  So today, both nobles and commoners believe that intermarriage between different bloodlines is a great taboo, and the birth of nobles also strictly abides by the relevant rules, and even discourages the birth of offspring without bloodline characteristics.

  Because in that case, the descendants of nobles with half of the unexpressed blood characteristics continue to intermarry with other civilians, which may instead cause the false manifestation of recessive genetic factors, resulting in secondary distortions in the second generation or even multiple generations.

  Ossenna's distortion is a typical multi-generational secondary distortion.

  For these reasons, nobles who do not abide by the blood code will be regarded as barbarians and punished or even expelled.

   And the aberrants are absolutely not allowed to marry and leave offspring, so as to avoid further pollution of the already nearly collapsed human gene pool.

   However, in the final analysis, the so-called distortion is essentially a fragment of a sublimated bloodline, but it has not developed successfully due to various reasons-it is not a complete curse, but an incomplete wrong blessing.

"Ossenna's cheap uncle's deformed bones are due to insufficient nutrition when he was young, which led to incomplete development. The steel bones are only limited to the legs, and they oppress the growth of the normal legs, so they become that weird carapace tumor shape."

Ian stretched out his hand and pressed it on Elan's left shoulder, his eyes were deep: "The left shoulder is also a steel bone—it seems that among our white people's ancestors, there must be a strong ancestor who practiced and had blood inheritance related to the steel bone. One generation after another, atavisms appear one after another.”

  Terra Continent is essentially no different from Earth. For thousands of years, whose ancestors were not the survivors of the previous era, the group of hard-fated, lucky and strong?

  This is also the reason why almost all ethnic groups in Terra have distortions.

  Because our ancestors are descendants of a group of initial ascendants and those who married them.

   "Fortunately, Elan is well-nourished at ordinary times. At least it won't be like Osenna, who cannot fully develop due to lack of nutrition and cause distortion... The most dangerous stage has passed, and I only need to pay attention to it in the future, so as not to continue to deform."

   Taking a long breath, Ian felt the importance of eating well, drinking well and sleeping well at this moment—sound and regular diet and sleep, even distortions can be suppressed!

  Elan's fever, in essence, is a slow release of cellular energy brought about by self-transformation...Because of Ian's source quality soothing, the boy has calmed down, and it is estimated that the fever will completely subside tomorrow morning.

   "Eight years old is indeed a period of rapid growth—this should be the cause of most people's distortions in the past."

   Standing up, Ian went to boil another pot of water and put it next to Elan for later use. He brought a chair and blanket over and prepared to sit next to his brother to rest.

The young man was not nervous. On the contrary, he was even a little curious: "Another peak period of distortion is puberty. I can still suppress the distortion in childhood, but the brain development in adolescence is extremely intense. If I forcibly suppress it, I'm afraid it will have a great impact on Elan's intelligence."

   "It seems that Elan must be allowed to cultivate an inheritance related to 'steel bone' and 'crystal bone' like me before the age of fourteen, or he must obtain an alchemy potion that can normally suppress the distortion."

   "In the process, even if it is to treat Elan, we need to study more related topics."

  Ian went home today. He originally wanted to make a tentative plan for adding a new sublimation organ to the true form of the Wavesinger. By the way, he wanted to think about how much research funding and monster materials he would get from Elder Purdue tomorrow.

  Now, he doesn't feel that taking care of Elan is a waste of time.

  Not to mention that the other party is his younger brother, the distortion also gave him a little inspiration.

   "The conversion between blood vessels and true shapes will definitely lead to redundant organs, which will cause distortion... On the contrary, is it possible that controllable directional distortion is also a way to increase and sublimate organs?"

After all, according to Ian's knowledge, many unique sublimation organs in the late stage of powerful sublimation inheritance need to enhance the essence of life—whether it is the use of high-energy radiation to promote birth, or complete spiritualization and multiplication, it seems that they can all be seen. As a controllable and powerful distortion feature?

   "What's more, will there be some distortion on my body?"

   "Sublimation must be carried out, and distortion must be studied. This is sound."

  With such thoughts in mind, Ian sat on the chair, and after confirming that Elan slept deeply, he also fell asleep slowly.

  The next morning.

   "Brother, I'm sorry, it seemed like I was sleeping on the table yesterday..."

Ian, who got up early and was frying eggs and fish, heard a thumping sound behind him, and then felt his younger brother's energetic charge hit his hind legs—Elan didn't seem to realize that he passed out from a rapid high fever , I thought I was just sleepy and fell asleep.

  The young man held back his smile, and then threatened Elan: "This is the result of not eating and exercising properly, but suddenly getting sleepy after studying at night!"

   "Today you are punished to eat one more egg, and you have to eat the fish bones too!"

"Mmm Good…"

Turning his head, Ian reached out and rubbed his embarrassed, pitiful little face of Elan, then patted the other person's head: "Go to exercise, and then wash up. I will come back at noon to cook for you, if you are sleepy Just go to bed and rest more recently."

   "OK~"

  Elan obediently went to wash and exercise, and after the two brothers had finished eating, Elan continued to study and play by himself, while Ian went out to find Elder Pude in the Elder Hall.

  This time, he had to ask for some Warcraft materials, tell the other party the hostility he saw in Patrick and related speculations, and ask a question about the ancestors of the White People.

   Or rather, he wants to know.

  When they were still in the imperial capital, what kind of inheritance did their group of white people practice?
