Chapter 166: Shirk’s Bloodline Research
A week passed since Yale reached the capital of the Anpaes Kingdom with his family, and they had already got used to living in their new house.
In that week, everyone’s attention was on the Twin Eunuchs; their punishment provoked a lot of stir in the capital because the king had never punished that seriously any member of the royal family.
As Sebe had predicted, people started to celebrate the punishment, and other displeased members of the royal family made their moves against them.
There were a lot of princesses that hated the acts made by the Twin Eunuchs in the past. Since the moment they knew that the Twin Eunuchs had lost their position as princes, they quickly used their authority to pick up all the girls under the Twin Eunuchs orders and put them to work as their maidservants. Even if the Twin Eunuchs would be unable to do the things they did before, they could still harm others, and those girls were powerless against them.
The Twin Eunuchs were despised by all the women of the royal family, so the princesses didn’t hesitate in using that chance to rescue the enslaved women. They couldn’t touch people who were under the orders of a prince, but stealing people from the Twin Eunuchs was a different matter. Moreover, no one doubted that those women would have a better life as maidservants from those princesses than as slaves of the Twin Eunuchs.
Moreover, the Twin Eunuchs couldn’t refuse to obey orders from princes and princesses, so when all the princesses grouped together to order them to walk naked by the whole city with a huge flag that had written some words, the Twin Eunuchs had to swallow the shame and obey.
“We are the future of all perverts in the Anpaes Kingdom.”
The words in the flag remained in the minds of everyone, especially the men who saw how the lower part of those two had ended. There were some men among those in the capital who idolatrized the previous acts of the Twin Eunuchs and hoped to be like them in the future, but that idolization disappeared instantly after seeing them because they feared to have the same fate by following their steps.
Usually, the king wouldn’t tolerate that kind of humiliation towards someone of the royal family, but as those two did a lot of immoral acts, the king allowed it to make an example for everyone, including members of the royal family.
After all, even the king disliked that kind of behaviors, but he was just too soft with his relatives, so he hoped that the example of the Twin Eunuchs avoided others to follow the same path.
Aiwai went personally to see the whole route of the Twin Eunuchs; she was pleased seeing their face showing complete humiliation. In fact, all the women who they had touched or even received some perverted words or threats from the Twin Eunuchs, did the same.
Sebe didn’t go to see the humiliation of the Twin Eunuchs personally, fearing the women who would be there. Sebe’s popularity with women skyrocketed since the fact that he was the responsible for the punishment of the Twin Eunuchs. After all, they weren’t alone when the Twin Eunuchs acted against them, and Sebe spoke in defense of Aiwai and Wyba, the rumors had spread quickly, and Sebe turned extremely famous.
Sebe was already popular with women before that, but after that moment he was the preferred prince of the women in the capital.
Although the rumors also mentioned Aiwai and her family, the center of all rumors were Sebe, the other party only appeared as the ones who were offended by the Twin Eunuchs in all the rumors.
Sebe did not dislike being popular with women, but as there were too many women behind him and he knew, he could not answer them all, and ignoring them face to face would be even worse, so he decided to spend time training instead of showing his face in public by going to see the humiliation of the Twin Eunuchs.
Although that was only his method to avoid going outside, as it was quite a usual behavior for him, no one doubted that he just wanted to train.
Yale ignored everything regarding the Twin Eunuchs, he had received the blood samples from Sebe a day after reaching the capital, and he closed himself into a room to study the different kinds of blood before start experimenting with them.
With Appraisal and the system’s database, Yale was able to obtain information and calculate the effects of merging the bloodlines, but that was just theoretical and was based on the knowledge he had, Yale wasn’t sure if everything will work like in the system’s deductions. That knowledge served as a starting point, but he needed to make real tests to ensure the deductions were correct.
Yale needed almost a whole week of testing the merging of types of blood before having a decent knowledge to call Shirk and starting the real research to improve Shirk’s bloodline.
Yale felt that to improve more his knowledge he would need to practice with someone alive, the bloodlines didn’t act the same inside and outside the body after all. Yale’s progress in the bloodline research was monstrous given the time he needed, but both Appraisal and the system’s database were extreme cheats to researching.
Moreover, even that monstrous advance wouldn’t be seen strange in the eyes of others. For Aiwai, Yale obtained that knowledge from his past life. On the other hand, for Sebe and Shirk, the expert behind Yale had taught him personally. Thus, no one was surprised when Yale called Shirk after a week from having moved to the capital.
“Welcome, Shirk. Lie down in that bed; we will start right now. I have already informed Sebe that you wouldn’t be able to leave for some time after I start; the process of modifying the bloodline is slow after all.”
Yale and Shirk were in a huge white room, full of instruments to contain and merge blood in the shelves. There was also a table with many of those instruments in front of a chair where Yale was sitting. Finally, there was a bed in the center where Yale ordered Shirk to lie down.
When Shirk obediently lied down on the bed, Yale chained him to the bed to avoid him from moving.
“Endure it. It is possible that you might lose your control at some moment, so I need to do this to avoid you from moving. The chances of failure will increase a lot if you start moving around in the midst of the testing.”
The fewer variables included in the tests, the easier would be understanding how every method worked, that was very important to Yale.
Shirk didn’t complain when Yale was chaining him to the bed; Yale had just explained it to him do to kindness because he knew that Shirk was ready to anything in order to have a chance to improve the quality of his bloodline.
Among all the blood samples Yale had, the one which was in the highest quantity was Shirk’s blood as that was the main point on Yale’s research, so Yale knew well the methods with higher chances to have a good effect based on his tests.
“Swallow this blood. The quantity isn’t high, and the quality isn’t much better than yours. Even if it fails, it shouldn’t have any side effect.”
Shirk drank it, but there wasn’t any reaction from his body.
“I will go back tomorrow, it is already late, and I estimate that effects can only start to be appreciable after ten hours in a body like yours. Try to sleep.”
Yale left the room leaving Shirk chained to bed alone in a dark room as Yale had also set off all the light formations.
Yale hadn’t been training in the previous days, but after starting the tests on Shirk he had a bit of time to train at night, he just needed to leave his Spiritual Sense controlling Shirk increase of some emergency.
The next morning Yale smiled after checking Shirk’s blood.
“It indeed improved a bit.”
Shirk couldn’t believe it; he didn’t feel anything strange in his body.
“Really?”
Yale nodded, with Appraisal the difference was easy to see.
“Yes, but the improvement in extremely tiny. I doubt you can notice it, but it is a good first step.”
Shirk wasn’t depressed, as long there was an improvement even a tiny improvement meant that he had chances to have a better future.
“With this method is possible to reach the quality of your bloodline?”
Shirk knew that the answer would be probably negative, but he couldn’t restrain himself from asking.
“Impossible. The bloodline I used was from too low quality although yours is worse than that. Moreover, seeing the current improvement I doubt that you even reach the quality of that bloodline with this method, it is too crude. The improvement in your bloodline is real, but for making a huge improvement on it, this method is insufficient. I am just conservative; it is better improving bit a bit your bloodline and seeing how your body reacts than risking it all from the start; I told you that this research to improve your body would be long.”
