167 Palaces Library (1/2)
A month passed since Yale started his research about Shirk's bloodline, but although the experiments didn't fail, the progress was the same as the first time, and it wasn't possible using any of them for a huge improvement of the bloodline.
Shirk lived the whole month eating only fasting pills, and he didn't move from the bed in the whole time; he was tired of that, but he also knew that Yale was putting his effort into helping him, so he just endured it.
Yale had been so frustrated that even his night training was almost stopped, his progress in that month was small compared with his usual speed after meeting Aiwai.
That day, Yale was seated in his chair checking the system out of boredom, he was blocked and didn't know how to continue the research.
”Name: Yale | Age: 14 | Origin Level: 17 |Origin Points: 643/643”
”Vitality: 661 | Strength: 667 | Agility: 665 | Intelligence: 700 | Wisdom: 700 | Dexterity: 658”
In the eyes of others, his progress was still extremely quick, but he didn't like that loss of speed in exchange for nothing. If Yale had a big progress on the research then he wouldn't mind for that loss, but the research was also in a stalemate, and his only idea was trying to use some aggressive and dangerous methods that had almost the certainty to fail and cripple Shirk.
Yale didn't want to do that; if Shirk was crippled by a failure then there was nothing Yale could do as that was part of the risk, but doing an experiment while being almost sure that Shirk would be crippled was just crippling him directly.
”Hi, Yale. How is your research going?”
Sebe's voice appeared in Yale's mind, Yale had been in contact with him to obtain supplies of blood samples, but Sebe's servants always delivered those blood samples because Sebe had been in seclusion for training the whole time due to the matter of the Twin Eunuchs.
”It isn't going well. There are no failures, but the improvements are just too small, and I am blocked about what to do to change that.”
Sebe didn't know if he should laugh because Yale was joking or cry because he was serious, improving a lot the trash bloodlines like Shirk's was something no one did. Those tiny improvements were the only ones people managed to standardize for some trash bloodlines, and trough bit improvements in a lot of generations the bloodlines improved a bit more compared to the original bloodline.
In a month, Yale managed to create a successful method to improve Shirk's bloodline a bit without failure, that was something most people needed years of research. However, with such method, maybe in some generations after Shirk there would be some appreciable improvement, but for Shirk himself that was impossible.
”Yale, you put your standards too high, your results are already extremely good for just a month, but knowing you, you won't be satisfied just by that. How about if you accompany me to a meeting with my friends, that was the reason I called you. Maybe a change of environment would enlighten you.”
The matter about the Twin Eunuchs had calmed after that month, so Sebe decided to organize a meeting with his friends. Although Sebe liked training, he didn't like being completely isolated from the world forever.
”Alright, maybe that is a good idea. I will ask my big sister to take care of Shirk although there shouldn't be any problem with him. Where will the meeting be?”
After all the experiments Yale didn't feel that there were possibilities of Shirk losing his control as the methods he used were already standardized and always worked in the same way, but he didn't want to bet, so having Aiwai checking him until Yale returned was better than leaving Shirk alone.
”In the library of the palace, that place was usually empty, and I managed to put it under my authority, so we always have our meetings there. Wait for me at the door of the palace, and I will show you where the library is situated. You can go there whenever you want.”
Sebe felt that having a library that nobody used was a waste, so he convinced his father a long time ago to obtain the rights of management for the library and started to have meetings with their friends there. Moreover, Sebe also liked reading a lot of books, so the library was one of his favorite places.
After ending the conversation with Sebe, Yale called Aiwai and asked her for looking Shirk in his absence. She accepted in exchange for suffocating Yale with a hug for three minutes; she thought that Yale with the white lab coat he was wearing for the research was too cute.
Yale stored that lab coat after leaving the house; he had forgotten to store it before meeting with Aiwai because he forgot he was wearing it. That lab coat was something Sebe had gifted him as he said it was the right clothing for doing research and as it was very light, Yale usually forgot that he was wearing it.
Yale reached the palace and followed Sebe into the library where there were already some people seated, some of them had books in their hands while others were just speaking.
”Guys, he is Yale. He is also my friend and reached the city about a month ago.”
