My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 331 Hallucinogens

“There are also black almonds from the New World in this?”

Soon, Natasha also distinguished the distinctive and rich fragrance in the stench.

But when she actually sniffed out the main ingredient from the medicine produced by this federation's pharmaceutical factory in Matruh City in the southern continent.

There was obviously some uncertainty in her eyes.

After all, Natasha had never heard of black almonds. This crop, which had only been widely cultivated in the New World in recent decades, had passed the review of the federal public health agency and could be used as medicine openly.

Sure enough, is it still an experiment secretly conducted by private pharmaceutical companies in the Southern Continent?

Natasha thought.

The sage in front of him, who had only been promoted last year and was registered as a federal official, had a strange expression on his face.

He stretched out his nose and took a deep sniff at the reagent called "Gransimo Plague Killer" in front of him.

Then he fell into deep thought accompanied by the rumble of the carriage.

Hallucinogens.

Zhu Houcong relied on his sage ability to quickly analyze the true effect of this thing.

Compared to treating plague and heat in the rain forests of the southern continent.

After careful debugging by some people, this thing may have greater mental side effects on people than anyone imagines.

It is impossible for the sages not to know the consequences of using black almonds from the New World as medicine.

This is not like those novel drinks on the airship. The hallucinogenic effect of black almonds in the potion in front of you has been fully exerted. If you are not careful, this is a dose that is enough to kill.

But whether it is the federal mainland’s import policy on black almonds or the pharmaceutical factories in the southern continent that use them as medicine without the approval of professional institutions.

All show that it is impossible for the sages not to know its side effects.

"Are people's tastes so weird now? I remember that the antidote distributed by the federal government was not like this before?"

Natasha took another look at the label on the potion bottle.

She couldn't help but murmur to herself.

When Zhu Houcong heard this, he felt even heavier.

The southern pharmaceutical company distributed drugs with strong hallucinogenic effects to the federal army as antidotes. Did the sages in the federal government know about it?
If you don't know, does it mean that there was something wrong with the sages' rule in the Southern Continent from the beginning?

The wizard's uprising only intensified this contradiction in advance.

But if you know... what exactly do the sages of the Creation Council want to do in the Southern Continent.

A massive social experiment?

Zhu Houcong took the potion from Natasha's hand and re-corked the bottle.

asked casually.

"Have you ever used this thing?"

"I have used pesticide before, but this is the first time I have seen this brand. After all, our family has not been exposed to these things for a long time since my father disappeared in the White Tower..."

Speaking of this, Natasha looked a little sad.

Obviously, the sudden disappearance of Sage's father was undoubtedly a huge blow to their family.

After losing the protection of the sage, the former sweet girl of heaven had to work with her mother to make ends meet.

Fortunately, Yves Owen still leaves some savings for the family on weekdays, and his friends sometimes provide some help to the mother and daughter.

Life is barely manageable.

It has been more than ten years now. Although Natasha has grown up and has her own career, her mother has been properly taken care of and passed away peacefully.

And most of the relatives who tried to tear off a piece of inheritance from their orphaned daughter and widowed mother also severed contact.

But searching for the reasons and traces of her father's disappearance has almost become Natasha's inner demon, causing her to wake up countless times in her sleep.

And determined to spend the rest of his life exploring what happened in the White Tower.

"It's weird..."

Natasha felt that her mind was a little light at this time, and her limbs began to not obey her orders.

she said softly.But the doubt only lasted for a moment, and she soon ignored the abnormality in herself.

Begin to be completely immersed in the dreamlike experience that the potion just gave you.

"Father--"

Natasha stretched out her hand in the direction of Zhu Houcong, as if she wanted to touch his cheek.

No ordinary person would break into a cold sweat when seeing such a strange scene.

Zhu Houcong looked at all this and had a more intuitive understanding of the power of the medicine in the small bottle in his hand.

It's really scary - for most ordinary people in this world.

Zhu Houcong grabbed Natasha's hand in front of him to prevent her from doing more outrageous things in her dream.

"wake up!"

He whispered, and the ether energy in the air obeyed Zhu Houcong's order.

These energies poured into Natasha's body like snakes.

The ether weapons from the federal military that Natasha carried around her body glowed with blue lightning under the wash of large amounts of ether.

Obviously, Zhu Houcong directly scrapped all these equipment worth millions.

Just like the words passed down from word to mouth by wizards, every wizard who first steps into the door of mysticism must be taught so that they can maintain the most basic respect for the world.

“Mysteries fail before higher mysteries.”

Sages also have their own proverbs.

"Ether is the outflow of all things like us, and there are also big currents that swallow up small ones..."

The sages are a group of wise men and warriors with the most superb etheric skills.

Naturally, they are not completely ignorant of the source of ether in this world.

In fact, where does the ether of this world come from?

The sages themselves are also arguing among themselves, and so far there is no explanation that can convince everyone.

However, through the use and observation of ether, the sages discovered many characteristics of ether energy.

And designed the foundation of the entire ether industrial system.

Aether Engine.

Among the many speculations about the source of ether, the relatively reliable guess is that the birth of ether energy and the kingdom of the gods fell from the sky one thousand years ago, and the gods also became extinct with the collapse of the stars. Major events are closely related.

Although it sounds like nonsense.

After all, just a few years after the gods began to fall, the first group of sages discovered the new energy ether that was gradually increasing in the world, and prayed to the Morning Star in the correct way, becoming believers in the Morning Star and creating a new era.

A fool can see the connection between the two.

However, the difficulty of research in this area is really too high. The sages have invested a lot of energy, and so far they have not been able to find even a hair.

So much so that many sages simply failed.

It means that studying the origin of ether is completely meaningless.

Proposed "ether agnosticism" in an attempt to muddle through.

But these have nothing to do with Zhu Houcong.

He stretched out his free right hand and pressed it against Natasha's forehead.

Along with a wisp of black smoke that was slightly invisible to the naked eye, it floated out from the mouth of the beauty in front of him.

Natasha gradually regained consciousness.

and so--

Looking at Natasha in front of her who was still in a state of confusion because she suddenly returned to reality.

Zhu Houcong couldn't help but continue to think about the problem that had troubled him for a long time.

How did the first sages pray to the morning star in the correct way?
