Chapter 609 No one forced me to understand better [Dragon Blood]
After George brought Mo Cheng in, he led the way and at the same time intentionally or unintentionally asked about Mo Cheng's purpose of coming.
"Master Kane, I wonder why you came here this time..."
"I want to find some information. The Hall of Knowledge is probably the most likely place in this city where I can find what I want."
After making up a random excuse to get away with it, Mo Cheng planned to investigate some possible secret rituals after sneaking in.
However, after hearing the purpose of Mo Cheng's visit, George seemed somewhat happy. The [Hall of Knowledge] was very happy to have a scholar come to exchange ideas. This in itself was the best publicity for the [Hall of Knowledge].
It doesn’t matter if other races don’t recognize the [Hall of Knowledge]. The recognized scholars on the continent of Khorvaire recognize it. To round it off, it means that [Valar, the Father of Oak] recognizes the [Hall of Knowledge].
The two walked along the way, and then Mo Cheng saw a group of people gathered in front of him, so he pointed over there and asked, "That's..."
George glanced over there and replied, "That's Viscount Joestar from Andel who came to visit today. They are taking the trial in the Hall of Knowledge."
Viscount Joestar refers to Lilia.
Although Lilia was unwilling to acknowledge or use the surname "Joestar", after Dio's death, Lilia was the only bloodline left in the Joestar family.
There is also a rule among the nobility that once all direct descendants of a family die, in order to pass the family on, illegitimate sons and daughters can inherit the family.
It was during this period that Lilia obtained the title of Viscount. It is not known whether Andel granted the title of Viscount Joestar to Lilia in order to win over Mo Cheng.
But it was obvious that those guys didn't investigate the cause and effect. When Lilia learned that she was going to inherit the Joestar family, her face darkened.
She has no good feelings towards the Joestar family. It can be said that her family members died more or less because of the Joestar family.
The mother died because she was too exhausted from raising two children alone. Ultimately, it was because the late Viscount Joestar, Lilia's biological father, did not take responsibility.
As for Lilia's brother, there is no need to mention him, he died at the hands of her half-brother Dio.
So much so that during those days Lilia had been thinking about changing the name of the "Joestar" family. She hated the name "Joestar". Even when Lilia used her real name, she had no intention of adding "Joestar".
But no matter how reluctant Lilia is, to the outside world, she is the last heir of the Joestar family, and there is nothing wrong with calling her Viscount Joestar according to etiquette.
Except she herself really doesn't like being called that.
"Experiments..." Mo Cheng stopped and showed a curious look at what was going on over there. "Can I go and take a look?"
George naturally had no intention of refusing Deckard Cain's request. After all, this [Trial] was not something specially set up to make things difficult for people. It was just a welcoming ceremony.
Every time a member brings in , there will be someone who tries to ask them difficult questions. After all, this is the [Hall of Knowledge], and most of the time people exchange all kinds of knowledge here.
Of course, everyone has areas they are good at and not good at, so this [Trial] is divided into three questions. One is selected by the people in the [Hall of Knowledge], one is chosen by the trial-taker himself in a rough area, and the remaining one is completely random.
Orientation party, a show of force, of course in Mo Cheng's eyes, this behavior is more like the [Hall of Knowledge] version of truth or dare.
When Mo Cheng and the other person got closer, they heard people talking nearby and it seemed that the first two questions had been answered. Currently, Lilia had one win and one loss, and the next questions were completely randomly drawn.
Soon, the third question appeared. The people from the Hall of Knowledge took out a bottle of potion and asked Lilia to analyze the materials in it.
Answers are scored based on the level of detail in the responses.
Mo Cheng frowned when he heard this question. Alchemy is indeed one of the compulsory courses for mages, but this subject is easy to get started with but very difficult to master.
Just based on the appearance of the medicine, without relevant instruments, it is impossible to distinguish the ingredients inside the medicine. This can only be done by at least a master of medicine.
But this did not stump Lilia. She reached out and grabbed the potion. She closed her eyes and silently activated her innate ability. After opening her eyes again, she read out a series of material names: "The leaves and branches of the Whomping Willow that fall off in winter, the Mandrake that only survives for three days, the tail of a unicorn, the nails of a griffin, and the blood of a sub-dragon."
"Well, that's all I know. The other materials are more fully integrated and can't be seen."
Relying on her talent of being able to melt anything like Aleister, Lilia was able to see some of the ingredients in the potion.
Mo Cheng didn't know whether the answer given by Lilia was correct, but judging from the faces of others, most of them be correct.
But at this time, someone stood up and said, "Most of the materials Viscount Joestar answered are correct, but there is one mistake. It is not the blood of sub-dragon species, but the blood of giant dragons that has been preserved for a long time."
The person who stood up was a scholarly nobleman, who seemed to be the owner of the bottle of potion.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
"Kellogg Andy, I'm a lecturer at the [Gardenford Warlock Academy]."
Are you meeting someone from the Warlock Academy now?
Lilia's eyes lit up, but she quickly gave up the idea of discussing cooperation directly. She had more important things to do before that.
For example, have a good discussion with Kellogg about whether it contains dragon blood or sub-dragon blood.
Lilia smiled and said, "Teacher Kellogg, no matter how long it has been, as long as the blood of a giant dragon is stored properly, its material properties will not change easily. In contrast, the blood of a sub-dragon is not that stable. Even if it is stored properly, it will not last very long."
She pointed at the potion and said, "The best proof that sub-dragon blood was added is that there is a little bit of flocculent material at the bottom of the potion. That's because the sub-dragon blood didn't fully participate in the reaction and it took too long, so it deteriorated."
"impossible!"
Kellogg naturally denied it loudly, mainly because he was discussing with his friends how to get dragon blood, and told them that he got a batch of dragon blood that had been preserved for a long time from someone else.
If what Lilia said was true, then her boasting to her friends about using dragon blood as a material to become a master of potions would become a laughing stock for years to come.
"Kellogg, I think you should check where your dragon blood material came from."
In order to prevent the trial from escalating into a conflict, George stepped forward to stop Kellogg's subsequent argument. "If it were any other material, I might think that Viscount Joestar made a mistake."
"But it's a pity." George spread his hands and said helplessly, "The last dragon in the world, the dragon earl of Andel, is the guardian of Viscount Joestar."
"Except for the Count of the Dragon, I don't think anyone here knows more about Dragon Blood than Viscount Joestar."
