Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 136: The Original Intention of Studying the Biological Mutations of Silver City
Seeing these words, Odysseus couldn't help but twitch his lips: It is obviously the treasure of the Tudor Empire, how did it become your treasure, Roselle?

He then guessed that this should be the map drawn by Russell after he switched to the adjacent path and became the "Knowledge Emperor".

Before that, the "Educator" path did not have abilities like "prophecy", and only Sequence 3 "Prophecy Master" of the "Mysterious Peeper" path and above had such abilities.

Perhaps because they were both time travelers, Russell's prediction was relatively accurate. First, Odysseus was indeed a time traveler, and second, he did know Bernadette, but their current relationship was average, just a good cooperative relationship.

As for whether the treasure will be used, haha, who can resist money?
And there seem to be some sealed objects inside!

Odysseus thought to himself, I wonder if there is a sealed object with the ability to "travel" inside?
He felt that there should have been some originally. After all, the Abraham family was the most powerful noble family in the Tudor Empire, and they should have accumulated some seals in this regard.

But Odysseus did not expect Russell to leave him with anything good. He knew that Sequence 7 of the "Generalist" path was called "Appraiser", and its ability was to identify the abilities and negative effects of sealed objects.

With further promotion, the ability of the "appraiser" will be enhanced and it will be able to identify more advanced seals.

When Russell visited the treasure for the second time, he probably took away all the seals that had minor negative effects.

As for the gold and silver, Odysseus really wanted to dig them out, but there was a big problem. He was currently being monitored by the people of the Church of the God of Steam and Machinery, and the treasure would only benefit the Church of Steam.

In the end, Odysseus decided to put the parchment away and wait for an opportunity to dig it up again in the future.

Then Odysseus temporarily left the "Wilds of Knowledge" and returned to his home in the real world. He found two pieces of parchment of suitable size, and then prepared some potions for aging, and sent them together into the "Wilds of Knowledge".

The next step was to imitate Russell's handwriting and tone and write a boxing manual.

Odysseus had never spoken to Russell face to face, and his understanding of this "senior time traveler" basically came from Russell's diary.

Fortunately, none of the people in charge of the Charelouch case had ever seen Emperor Roselle, so the possibility of being exposed was low.

These two boxing manuals mainly use pictures and texts, and explain Bajiquan and Taijiquan in a different writing style from the "Outline of Fighting".

In some blank spaces, words like "Brother is so omnipotent" were written in Chinese characters, which are very annoying.

Since no one could understand it anyway, he just wrote a few sentences and started to age them with potions. Soon he got two slightly yellowed boxing manuals.

However, these two boxing manuals were not written by Russell. If you use extraordinary abilities for divination, you will immediately discover this.

But this did not pose a problem for Odysseus. He took the extraordinary characteristics of the "Briber" seized from the 3N Party from the display shelf on the side of the room.

Then, while using the power of "Knowledge Wilderness" to suppress the strong negative effects of the Beyonder characteristics, he used the ability of "association" in the sequence to establish a "connection" between the parchment and the metal box.

In this way, when using ordinary divination to verify the origin of the two parchments, they will automatically be "connected" to the metal box, thereby confusing the divination results.

This should be able to escape most scrutiny, after all, not everyone has a "divination artifact" like "Above the Gray Mist".

As for the Beyonder characteristic, it can actually be used directly, but it seems harmless when it is just there (Sequence 5 and below), but if it is used, the negative effects will definitely be quite severe.

It is very likely to react with the Beyonder characteristics in the body, causing the Beyonder to lose control on the spot.

However, Odysseus has the high-level suppression of "Knowledge Wilderness", which can completely avoid being affected by extraordinary characteristics.

After doing all this, Odysseus looked over the boxing manuals he had compiled, folded them up and put them in the box, closed it again, and smiled with satisfaction: I can basically handle it.

Even if the "Manufactured Punisher" still has doubts, he can deny it because he has an alibi.

Unless the Mandated Punisher uses extraordinary means to interrogate the Viscount, or interrogate Odysseus.

This is also the reason why Odysseus asked a noble to prove his alibi. Many nobles in Loen believed in the "Lord of Storms". If they were interrogated with extraordinary abilities, the impact would be very bad.

The Church of the God of Steam and Machinery would certainly not let Odysseus, with his special identity, fall into the hands of other extraordinary organizations, so they would definitely stop the extraordinary interrogation of the "Manufactured Punisher".

Then, Odysseus began his research task for the week: studying the plants, animals and soil of the "God-forsaken Land".

This research should have started a long time ago, but it was delayed again and again due to various urgent research.

Last week, Odysseus had sent all the animals and plants he had traded from the Little Sun into the "Wilderness of Knowledge" and now moved them to the desk.

They are strange fish, blood-sucking and brain-drilling bugs, plants with tentacles, and black-faced grass.

After the strange fish was killed, it became extremely fishy and smelled bad. Odysseus treated it with herbs to prevent the fishy smell from spreading everywhere.

The blood-sucking, brain-drilling bugs were incredibly resilient, requiring only water to survive. Odysseus even tried sugar and salt water on different individuals, and they both accepted both. The one that drank the sugar water actually gained weight. The tentacle-bearing plant had already begun to grow new tentacles. Odysseus filled it with soil and added some fertilizer, and it began to grow wildly.

Odysseus soon discovered the key. Before it was sent into the "Wilderness of Knowledge", there was sunlight where it was placed, so it grew so fast. It seemed that after thousands of years, it still retained many of the characteristics of plants.

As for the tentacles cut from the plant, they began to rot and dry up quickly. Odysseus dried them and made them into specimens for current research.

Odysseus finally set his sights on the black-faced grass. It had completely withered, like a dead wheat stalk, but its color was dark green instead of yellow.

The moment these plants and animals that were not dead were placed into the "wilderness of knowledge", they stopped all life activities, but those that were not dead before being placed in still had enough vitality.

It can be understood that their time has stopped at this moment.

In addition, there was a bucket of silt and a bucket of ordinary soil that were traded together, which will be studied last.

After Odysseus prepared everything, he began to dissect the strange fish.

Of course, he did these studies not to become a biologist, but to try to find possibilities for increasing agricultural and animal husbandry production.

Theoretically, with the existence of the Church of Mother Earth, there shouldn't be a shortage of food in this world. However, the reality is that in Backlund and in every major city in this world, large numbers of homeless people die of starvation every day.

According to Odysseus's observation, in addition to some human factors, the world's crop yields are indeed not large, and the development of animal husbandry is far from reaching the level of a "livestock factory."

Odysseus also wondered why the Church of Mother Earth did not solve these problems. The angel of this path alone should be able to ensure high production within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

There is no problem even completing the process from seed germination to maturity in one day.

Later, Odysseus probably figured it out: the essence of Beyonder characteristics is distortion and chaos, and large-scale "induced labor" will definitely cause crops to mutate!
The most important thing is that it is very likely to cause the people in that land to mutate as well.

What if the inhabitants of that land grow along with the plants?
If it's a child who grows 20 to 30 centimeters taller a year, no one will mind him/her being surprised and celebrating with a good meal.

But what if adults also grew? If they grew several dozen centimeters per year, within a decade or so, that area would be a land of giants!
The northern continent is not so bad, basically wheat is grown there, and many places in the southern continent also grow corn, which grows one or two meters a year, and the mission of the Giant Kingdom can be completed in two years.

So Odysseus had to try the second approach: genetic modification.

But a new problem arose, he did not have such ability!
Odysseus knew that the first mate of the "Admiral of the Stars" had such talent, but it seemed that his talent was too much. That guy always seemed to have a problem with cows. He wanted wheat to grow on them and beer to be produced by cows.

As for other research, such as making fish taste like beef, turning the blood in fish into beer, etc., in short, in Odysseus's opinion, none of the research is normal.

The strange thing was that Odysseus had made a special trip to inquire before, but in the Kingdom of Feynaporte, he had not heard that the Church of Mother Earth had launched any high-yield, disease-resistant seeds, or fast-growing, high-survival-rate livestock and poultry cubs.

After some more thought, Odysseus finally understood: they did not have such a concept.

It is said that the priests of the Church of Mother Earth do pray for a good harvest, and it is very effective.

I also heard that they have the ability to mutate plants and animals, but they have no idea of optimizing seeds.

This involves concepts that only time travelers like Odysseus know about: gene mutation and gene self-correction.

For example, in a whole wheat field, with the same amount of water and fertilizer, the wheat plants all look not very tall, and the ears of wheat are not very big. Suddenly, there is a wheat plant that grows tall and strong, with large ears of wheat.

This is probably a genetic mutation. The seed cannot live like ordinary wheat, but has to curl up inward, making other wheat jealous and envious.

But farmers like this kind of internal circulation very much, and they will definitely plant the seeds produced by this wheat in the ground next year.

But at this time you will find that not all seeds like to curl inward like last year's wheat. At most, two or three plants will be tall and big. After all, most wheat still prefers to live a stable life.

This is probably the self-correcting ability of genes. Odysseus guessed that people in this world should have tried breeding, but the results should not be very ideal.

Odysseus had learned about this before. In order to stabilize the genes of seeds, in addition to seed selection, seedlings must be raised and artificial pollination must be carried out to obtain high-quality seeds.

After a period of thought, Odysseus decided to promote the process of artificial breeding by combining extraordinary and scientific methods.

The basic theory is to use extraordinary abilities to mutate seeds, stabilize genes using a combination of science and extraordinary methods, and ultimately obtain high-quality crop seeds.

To achieve this goal, the animals and plants in the "God's Forsaken Land" that have mutated due to their extraordinaryness are samples that are very worthy of study.
