Chapter 915 Talent Modification
Meryl’s breath gradually slowed.
The advice of her teacher washed over her heart like the toll of evening bells, forcing her to reflect deeply on all she had done over the past few decades.
Meryl had invested far too much time and energy in things other than magic for the sake of the clan’s development and her own indescribable pride. Though the clan was doing very well under her management, her own power within the clan had slipped from first-tier, to second-tier, and was even at third-tier now.
Still, Meryl had her own troubles regarding this problem.
Ever since she had been an apprentice, she knew all too well that her adept talent was mediocre at best. Being able to advance to First Grade with her talent was already extremely lucky. There wasn’t much chance she could advance to Second Grade.
It was this understanding that caused her to give up on the difficult study and learning of magical knowledge, to abandon those repetitive magical experiments, and instead choose to invest most of her effort and time into the laborious tasks of the clan.
It gave her tremendous authority and a false sense of power. This false sense of power intoxicated her, making her relish in her position. Even now, she still did not think that her actions had been incorrect.
Who knew if he would kill himself in frustration if he knew what an excellent opportunity he had passed over due to his foolish ignorance?
Greem couldn’t help but think to himself as he carefully and slowly examined Meryl’s body.
The initial examination revealed that Meryl was not suited as the inheritor of the fire dragon bloodline. If they forcefully proceeded with the operation, it was very likely to result in a tremendous waste of the fire dragon bloodline’s potential.
It was important to note that Star of Disaster Philippa Eilhart was once a powerful existence of advanced Third Grade. She even had a chance of advancing to Fourth Grade!
If this fire dragon bloodline rune was transplanted onto Meryl, the Chip estimated that the limit of Meryl’s development would be beginner Third Grade. Meryl would have a chance of advancing to Third Grade within her lifespan as long as she put in the effort.
However, beginner Third Grade would be the limit of her potential.
After becoming a Third Grade, her potential would be exhausted, and she would have no chance of improving any further!
Greem did not conceal anything about Meryl’s situation and told her truthfully everything about his examinations and predictions. Meryl remained lying on the platform and listened to everything, her face pale and void of color, her body trembling and shivering.
In truth, it was a complex feeling to hear an outsider solemnly announce the limits of your potential. Even though Meryl already knew her talent was terrible, it was still a bitter and miserable sensation to be told her own ‘point of death’.
However, being able to improve the limit of her talent from advanced First Grade to beginner Third Grade was already a tremendous blessing!
Meryl solemnly nodded to her teacher with tears in her eyes.
Then the matter was settled!
Greem also made up his mind now.
Greem didn’t mind the slight bit of wasted potential in the bloodline rune.
So what if he could find an adept with extreme compatibility with this bloodline rune? The hope of advancing to Fourth Grade was still just as minute and insignificant! Even the original owner of the bloodline, Philippa, had such a difficult time advancing to Fourth Grade. Could her successor possibly outdo her?
As such, losing a bit of the bloodline rune’s potential in exchange for Meryl’s loyalty and explosive improvement in power was more than worth it. Why would he not do it?
Now that he had made up his mind, Greem no longer spent his time thinking about all irrelevant matters. Instead, he concentrated his efforts into thinking about how he could successfully transplant this bloodline rune into Meryl’s body.
Direct transplantation was definitely out of the question!
The fire dragon bloodline in the rune would most assuredly clash with the earth elementium affinity currently within Meryl. If they forced the issue and caused a rejection, then the collapse of the bloodline rune would not be a small matter. Meryl’s elementium talent would be polluted, resulting in her death. It would be a terrible loss.
Before the transplant, Greem would first have to do some degree of modification to Meryl’s body. The current priority was to reduce the intensity of the conflict between her earth affinity and fire elementium.
After scanning its data library, the Chip provided three possible solutions to this crisis.
