Chapter 683: Dryad and the Murderer
"Sir, how do you plan to deal with it?"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Costart asked Ronald in a calm tone.
Ronald is completely confused.
I came to the Yuez Forest to deal with the problem of the original code, but it turned out that before I saw the original code, I ran into such a thing first.
Ronald's eyes shifted to the little girl Hull not far away.
Although this was a species born under the interference of the original code, after traveling together for more than ten hours, Ronald knew that the other party was undoubtedly an intelligent species with intelligence.
Faced with such a 'kid'.
You can't kill it directly like the 'Carrot Spirit' before, right?
"..."
"I... let's take a look at her actual situation first."
Ronald opened his mouth, and finally decided to check Hel's physique first. After all, Yuan Dian's ability is full of possibilities, and everything needs to be careful. deal with.
And when examining Hel's body...
in front of ordinary people, they may still need to worry about whether Hel's species is harmful to humans. But Ronald is different. With the "Origin of Species" series of spells, he can easily check the biological information of any life if conditions permit.
Walking forward quickly, Ronald didn't hide anything.
He said very directly to the little girl in front of him:
"Hur, let me check your body."
"I'm sorry."
"..."
"Huh?"
Hull, who was shocked by the tragedy in front of him, did not react at all.
Before she even had time to respond to Ronald, she saw the caster in front of her lightly brushing against her arm.
"..."
Ronald moved very quickly.
After taking only a small amount of samples, he immediately closed his eyes. While using the "Origin of Species" ability to analyze, he also began to carefully perceive Hull's detailed situation in his mind.
"Huh?"
"Is that so..." "
..."
As the spell unfolded, more detailed biological characteristics that even Hull and his species might not necessarily know began to unfold in Ronald's mind one by one. . And through the influence of magic power, he even felt some species memories that were impossible to detect.
There was no formal error in Ronald's previous estimate.
Hel's tribe is indeed a product of the control of the original code.
Even more accurately, this is a race that was given life by the original code and began to continue rapidly.
At the beginning, when the original interference was strongest.
They originally lived in the Yuez Forest in the form of beasts.
But due to an accident, this group came into contact with spellcasters active in the forest, and were deeply impressed by the power of spells.
——So, the problem arises.
——Spells are not something that beasts can comprehend out of thin air.
Therefore, before the influence of the original scriptures disappeared, they subconsciously began to hope to get closer to humans with the ability to cast spells. This is how the new and old generations rapidly evolved towards humans.
The "Organic Encyclopedia" already stores human genetic information, so this matter can be said to be a matter of course.
Developed to Hull's generation.
Basically, they can be regarded as relatively special human beings.
Without reproductive isolation, they would have healthier, smarter, and more beautiful bodies.
It's a pity that after this step has been completed, the interference power of the original code has been basically exhausted, and the ethnic group that has completely converged on humans can no longer deal with the increasingly terrifying other biological groups in the Yoiz Forest.
"..."
"It seems that Hull is at least fine."
Ronald's frown relaxed slightly.
Although they are not the same kind in the strict sense, the girl born from the original canon is obviously not an enemy and does not have the ability to harm the entire ecosystem.
that's enough.
Ronald recorded the collected information into the system of "The Origin of Species".
While trying to continue optimizing, he also continued to ask Costart beside him:
"Can we collect information from these corpses?"
The maid nodded calmly:
"Sir, I can try."
After speaking, Costart He walked calmly towards the distance and began to try to extract information from the surroundings.
Ronald stayed where he was and began to explain the reasons to Layton and Hull, while comforting the two poor people who were ill-fated.
"..."
Time passed in their respective actions.
About half an hour later, both Layton and Hull had a preliminary understanding of the situation, and Ronald also saw Costat coming back from a distance.
After giving a few simple instructions, Ronald walked directly to Costart's position:
"How is the situation?"
"..."
The maid bowed slightly to Ronald, and then explained:
"Sir, I have obtained a lot of information. ."
"In the current Yoiz Forest, there seem to be some creatures similar to the dryads you know. They carry the magic power of the original scriptures, and they walk around in the Yoiz Forest in the form of spells. Spread the power of life evolution."
Hear the maid's explanation.
Ronald's expression couldn't help but become solemn.
"The tree spirits..."
"Walking around in the Yuez Forest, spreading the power of the original text..." "
Is this a simple habitual behavior, or do they have some practical purpose?" "
I can't speculate on this. ." The maid shook her head, and then continued to add, "But there is one thing I think it is necessary to tell you. The species that attacked the Hel tribe, their nests are not too far from here. If we go there and take a look , maybe something can be gained."
"..."
The unknown original book, the tree spirits walking around, and the unpredictable Yuez Forest...
Ronald thought about these things, but did not make a choice immediately.
After all, there are many factors involved in this kind of thing, and making decisions based solely on impulse can easily cause problems.
"Costat, can you guarantee that the information is correct?"
Ronald asked for confirmation again, and the maid replied calmly:
"There is still a member of the Hel tribe who is still alive. My process of extracting the memory went very smoothly."
"This will put my mind at ease... huh?" Ronald suddenly raised his head and looked at Costart, "Where is the living person? Take me there to see!"
Ronald was about to go to check the situation.
Just before he took steps, Costart emphasized slightly:
"Sir, before I extracted the memory, he was still alive."
"..."
Ronald understood the meaning of Costart's words.
He looked back at the maid, and even narrowed his eyes.
The last member of Hel's race who was still alive...couldn't he have been beaten to death by Costart's memory extraction?
Seeing Ronald's expression, Costat immediately explained:
"Sir, there are no steps in my actions that will cause you displeasure, please don't worry."
"That's it..."
The two of them communicated in a low voice here. holding information.
Further away, Layton, who had adjusted his mentality, saw their actions and came over with Hull.
"Mr. Ronald, what are you..."
"I have some news here." Looking at the two people, one large and one small, Ronald said deeply, "Costat just found the traces of the murderer who destroyed the Hel people. , I’m thinking about exploring it.”
