Chapter 45: The Hidden Dangers of Maya
Chapter 45 Maya’s Hidden Danger
“This is the Slime maid, although the intelligence is not very high, but doing some chores is still not too much of a problem, I brought some out, you look after the placement.” Owen sat on the sofa aside, cozily picked up the milk tea that Dale served and took a sip, the milk fragrance was rich, the taste was really good, but it was a pity that it was a bit too sweet.
Maya was wearing a spiritual head ring given to her by Owen on her head, her diffused spiritual power allowed her to keenly notice that these ancient-looking Slime maids belonged to a kind of puppet, but were not exactly puppets, they were obviously the master’s new creations during this period of time, so she nodded her head and felt satisfied.
The castle’s area was not small, if it wasn’t for the vipers and slimes cleaning up the rats and dust, Maya would have to spend a lot of time cleaning up every day, at the same time she would also need to prepare three meals a day for her master, and while serving her master’s food, clothing and shelter, she would also have to deal with the affairs of the territory in the meantime.
Now it was much better, Char who was no longer a maid at all was in charge of the castle’s guards, Dale who was a good cook was in charge of the three meals a day, and now she had a Slime maid who was in charge of the chores, so it was much easier for her.
In fact, Owen also had this consideration, although Maya has some special characteristics, but after all, she is almost forty, her energy and stamina have declined, and in the future, the things in the territory will become more and more complicated, if she is distracted by the daily chores, it would not be worth the loss.
In addition, Owen has also been looking for ways to strengthen, now there are two kinds, one is occupation strengthening, one is bloodline strengthening.
Like Char, who had fused the template of a Templar, like him, who had fused the profession of a Puppeteer, both were considered the first type of strengthening.
This kind of reinforcement had little hidden dangers, but the disadvantage was that it relied more on one’s own basic abilities, if one was not powerful, even if one fused a more powerful profession, one could not play much of a role.
The second can be described as a step to heaven, as long as the courage to walk with the demon to the synthesizing furnace, not dead certainly become stronger, and the life expectancy of the demon is not comparable to humans.
The problem is that the success rate of the synthesizing furnace is for demons, humans haven’t really tried it, who knows what the consequences will be, in case it turns into a monster, wouldn’t it be fatal, this thing is all about synthesizing and no matter how much it separates.
If not for these scruples, Owen has long been unscrupulous to strengthen himself, with the progress value that is now open, he is able to utilize not a lot of things, such as the T-virus, if a reckless flurry of reinforcement down, do not dare to say that one-handedly hanged Sharer, the face of the general public must be all crushing bureau.
But Owen always resisted his impulse, because he was not sure if the system’s reinforcement of himself was unlimited, if it was compatible with everything.
This point was important, in case he strengthened a bloodline that was great in the early stages and then pulled his crotch in the later stages, causing him to be unable to strengthen a bloodline with more potential in the later stages, wouldn’t it be a small loss for a big loss.
Wolverine, for example, is definitely a powerful bloodline in the early stages, but in the later stages it’s a meat target.
In case the bloodlines clash and you can’t strengthen Superman or something like that, wouldn’t it be a big loss.
Even if you force the fusion, what if it mutates, not all mutations are in a favorable direction, and not all evolutions are good.
So Owen was very cautious about his own reinforcement, and preferred the Puppeteer, just because the main reinforcement attribute of the Puppeteer was mental power, as long as he didn’t plan to go out of the range of creatures, the mental power would only be beneficial and not detrimental to any reinforcement he made in the future.
As for learning the magic of Hogwarts, this was not considered a strengthening of the body, it was just a more effective use of the magic power he possessed.
But he can wait, Maya is afraid that he can’t wait long, although the physical quality of the human beings in this world is good, but the life expectancy is not too high, especially Maya, she is a serving maid origin, and the profession of serving maid will not take into account the longevity of life, in fact, the serving maid is just a higher-end expendable product. Maya’s ability to maintain her appearance and body shape in her thirties was not only due to her natural beauty, self-discipline, and the fact that she was treated well by her former master, the Countess, but also the secret medicine of the Church of the Servant was the key to her success.
This secret medicine can allow the user to maintain their appearance for a longer period of time, and have more energy and glow, while not having the problem of having offspring, after all, they are maidservants, they are not qualified to be on the throne, the aristocracy will not allow it, and the service indoctrination will not allow it either.
If it was allowed, then the power of the Servant Church would inevitably expand rapidly and become an influential behemoth.
But no noble will allow this kind of power to exist, and the empire will not allow it, so if the Church of Service really dares to do this, it will only have one way out.
In addition, the side effects of the secret medicine are not limited to this, in addition to the loss of fertility, life expectancy will also be affected, after all, it is impossible to maintain the same appearance for a long period of time without paying a price, so once the appearance of old age, it is a sign that the life has entered the countdown.
Owen didn’t know how much time Maya had left, one year, two years, so it had to be as soon as possible, before her life force was depleted, after all, any enhancement needed to have a good body, there was no way that a lamp-drained shell could withstand enhancement, even good enhancement.
Returning to the dungeon chamber Owen was not in the mood to continue building the dungeon, he fell into a rare long contemplation, finally he made a decision.
Although Owen still can’t completely trust Maya, but undeniably, he can’t get away from her now, no matter in feelings, in life, or career, he can’t get away from Maya, so paying a little bit of risk, a little bit of a price, is worth it.
At the same time to do so is also a piece of insurance, Owen from Char body found that he is able to control the system of the system on people to strengthen the effect, simply put, if he is willing to, can let others on the body of the system to strengthen the failure, or even disappear.
It was the same as the buildings and soldiers he exchanged from the system, it could be canceled, but the progress value consumed could not be recovered.
Giving reinforcement to a person whose life force was about to run out, and what the consequences would be if the reinforcement was canceled, Owen had more or less guessed.
Not to say that he had a dark heart, no matter if he was a traveler who was always lonely and anxious inside, or a border lord of a barbaric land, he wasn’t allowed to have the slightest excess of mercy and kindness, because it would get him killed, and a lot of people killed at the same time.
It was clearly a cost-effective thing to bestow longevity and power on the men he relied on, and so Owen set about preparing for it.
There wasn’t really much preparation needed, as there were so many times Owen had wanted to fortify himself that he quickly came up with a program that would work for Maya.
The T-virus, which was Owen’s first choice, originated from a fusion of the Earth’s originator virus and leech gene fragments, and was horribly transmissible.
However, it was undeniable that this thing worked really fast, as long as it could be adapted, it could enhance the user’s endurance and vitality, and at the same time, it could also open up the power of the mind, which was very suitable for Maya.
Owen’s heart was moved at that time, but the problem was that this thing was genetically altered, so he didn’t dare to use it indiscriminately.
