Chapter 48 - Toby and Artificial Life
Greya did not know how to respond. She cast several doubtful looks towards Sunders, who still had an I-care-not expression. Was she wrong? Angor’s talent had nothing to do with the nightmare realm?
But Angor’s story sounded really similar to the Nightmare Realm.
If his talent was related to the Nightmare Realm, had he stumbled into the real Nightmare Realm during his talent test? So was his talent about connecting the Nightmare Realm and reality?
Nah. Greya shook her head and laughed it off. Impossible. A tunnel between planes was not something manageable using human bodies.
Greya’s guess was that Angor’s talent could have a similar effect with Twisting Protozoa, thus her question. It seemed she was wrong though.
She shook her head again. She would not get an answer anyway, might as well give it up.
A man famous in the entire southern region was sitting there. She certainly could not force him to speak.
“Yes and no. Only the Creator in the mythologies can create a real life. But wizards don’t believe in gods, they trust in truth and knowledge. Greya’s unique spell is called artificial life and seems to be creating lives. However, it involves too many theories, including monster bionomy, microbial restructuring, mana energy exchange and so on. These deep theories are nothing like creating something out of thin air in the stories.”
“Oh…” Angor nodded in enlightenment. It was like cloning, to use various methods to create a new life while bypassing the rule of reproductive isolation. “I think I can understand now.”
“Kids,” Sunders shook his head. Of course, he did not believe that Angor actually understood anything. He thought the young man was pretending to be calm.
What he did not know was that when it came to certain knowledge, Angor was already a qualified scholar.
However, Sunders did not say anything, just to protect his new student’s little ego.
