1023: Chapter 112 Indeed, the White Folks Are of the Fae (4000, First Update) 1023: Chapter 112 Indeed, the White Folks Are of the Fae (4000, First Update) [So that’s how it is.

I had thought that you somehow managed to contact Andor.

Otherwise, how could that guy possibly speak so coherently…

I didn’t expect it to actually be the Little Crystal Dragon?]

On Master Gossay’s private encrypted channel, the elderly voice came through in a moment of realization: [The Worm Nest’s modification of the Dragon Egg actually had such results—truly incredible…

Ian, when I return from the Eastern Great Plains, would you be able to control the Little Crystal Dragon to cooperate with me in research?]

“No problem.”

Ian agreed without hesitation.

After all, Master Gossay was also an Alchemist, and unknown phenomena that defied explanation would naturally ignite his curiosity in an instant.

“Just, is your student reliable?”

[As a student, Edwa is very respectful and values the teacher-student relationship.]

Master Gossay replied: [But he is rather mundane as a person.

He trusts me and follows me because I am his mentor and an Imperial Alchemy Master.

He does not possess the courage to defy the Empire’s Will for my sake—but as long as you ensure his position remains stable, he wouldn’t mind cooperating with you as the future Master.]

[The truth regarding the Little Crystal Dragon must not be disclosed to him, but you can use my name to contact him.

He’ll be willing to cooperate and provide convenience.]

At this point, the Master chuckled: [Don’t worry, this isn’t a crime.

Quite a few researchers at the Atlantian Breeding Grounds leave backdoors open since there are many rare Magical Beasts there.

Plenty of Alchemists intend to get their hands on some research data.]

“I understand.”

Ian nodded.

He wasn’t surprised in the slightest; in a nation as vast and historically rich as The Empire, corruption would hardly be unexpected.

A mere backdoor arrangement was minor in comparison.

In fact, if not for Yinaiga II, Axel, and Hiliard—the trio essentially wiping out the old empire—there was no way the current Empire could maintain such sprawling territories.

[Is there anything else?]

Master Gossay noticed Ian still seemed to have something on his mind, so he proactively asked.

The young man responded with a light hum and directly said: “My younger brother is the child of an Elf and a White Folks parent.

His dominant Bloodline is White Folks.

He will soon awaken Spirit Energy, so I want him to register early at the Truth Institute.”

[Your family’s bloodline seems… quite remarkable?]

On the other end of the communicator, Master Gossay’s tone carried deep astonishment: [Both you brothers are Spirit Energy Users?

That’s extraordinarily rare…

You’re half-brothers, correct?

Is there a powerful Spirit Energy User in your mother’s lineage?]

[No, back in the Cheharlowa Family, there hasn’t been a particularly strong Spirit Energy User… now it appears to simply be pure luck.]

[Heaven knows how many prominent Nobles hope for such luck—even the Emperor would be envious.] The elder sighed.

That would be unlikely.

Ian quietly shook his head.

His Spirit Energy awakening was clearly not connected to his body but rather due to his previous life’s memories awakening—an anomaly of the soul, in other words.

As for Elan, his awakening might truly stem from Bloodline reasons.

After all, Elan’s Elf mercenary father reportedly married a White Folks spouse specifically to produce a Spirit Energy User child.

This kind of behavior wasn’t uncommon on Terra.

To optimize Bloodlines and enhance inheritance, it wasn’t unusual for Nobles to engage in Bloodline sacramental marriages, let alone cross-racial unions…

Yet most of such claims were folklore, as there was no concrete scientific evidence proving that offspring of Elves and White Folks were more likely to awaken Spirit Energy.

“I’m mostly curious.”

Refocusing his thoughts, Ian asked Master Gossay with curiosity: “Among the races on Terra—the Golden Folk, Black Iron Folk, Chalk People, Crimson Bloodlines…

not to mention Elf Dwarfs, various Demihuman ethnicities, and countless other unique subgroups—all possess distinct Bloodline abilities.”

“As for us Chalk People, our increased likelihood of Spirit Energy awakening—I’ve studied my own body in detail and discovered that the brains and sensory organs of White Folks are indeed more developed.

This might explain the ease with which souls can manifest, potentially leading to Spirit Energy awakening…

but traits like the Golden Folk’s environmental adaptability or the Iron Folk’s cellular resilience against mechanical damage—where exactly do they originate?”

“Not to mention the traits of Elves and Dwarves—my elder, Elder Pude, inherited the Bloodline True Form of his Dwarf father, resulting in a physique identical to a Dwarf’s, with exceptional ruggedness and strength…

while Elves exhibit extraordinary agility and mental acuity.”

“This is clearly unnatural.

It should be the result of genetic modifications by pre-Era civilizations.

I’ve recently been deeply curious about this topic, so I wanted to ask if, Master Gossay, you had any recommended texts I could study.”

[Ethnic specificity?

Actually, this is a university-level subject, but major research institutes severely conceal their findings.]

Master Gossay understood immediately.

From his perspective, Ian seemed already proficient in Bio-Alchemy and, likely due to specific research, had ventured into the realm of ‘the connection between body and soul,’ now seeking pathways for further progress.

He could even surmise that Ian had gained access to numerous human experimentation data or was possibly conducting ethically dubious human trials at Xiawei Territory…

And he was correct.

Yet Master Gossay didn’t mind—in fact, even the kindest Alchemist would inevitably show signs of ruthlessness in the pursuit of Logos.

Moreover, he was far from being traditionally “kind-hearted.”
