Standing in front of Ryan was the contact personnel sent by the goblin elders, and they were also one of the elders' corps.

This middle-aged man, who looks unkempt, is Makarov, a coaching instructor at Tolz's school.

"snort!"

Dr. Schmidt snorted unhappily, "What do you goblins treat me as? They all came to me to learn technology!"

"Ha ha……"

George scratched his head awkwardly, "I was shocked when I first learned about the identity of Senior Makarov. I didn't expect that he was one of the contemporary elders of the goblins."

Marklof had heavy dark circles. He looked at Dr. Schmidt with his godless eyes and comforted him without sincerity, "Doctor, don't be excited. There are three goblins who worshipped you. Doesn't it mean that you are superb in your skills?"

"I'm not happy at all!"

Dr. Schmidt showed a rare look of excitement. "You all hide your identities and have never mentioned half of them to me! Franz..."

Halfway through, Dr. Schmidt suddenly stopped, and he tried to take several deep breaths, gradually recovering his calm under George's soothing.

Ryan sighed softly in his heart as Dr. Schmidt looked at things that were rare to care about technology and even had emotional out of control.

‘Sure enough, Dr. Schmidt attaches great importance to Franz. This technical maniac is willing to put aside his research and take the initiative to go to the Air Fortress One to witness Alberich’s so-called graduation work, which can already explain the problem in this regard.’

With Dr. Schmidt's meticulous thinking and calm mind, he should have known for a long time that Alberic and Franz are not the same person.

But he still had a trace of fantasy in his heart, and then he took the initiative to accept the other party's invitation to go to the No. 1 Air Fortress.

Unfortunately, after witnessing it with his own eyes, Dr. Schmidt was completely disappointed.

Although the other party uses Franz's body, he and Franz are completely different from their personality to R&D philosophy.

As Dr. Schmidt's second disciple, Makarov knew very well the position of Franz, the eldest disciple, in the hearts of his teacher.

It was precisely because of the death of Franz, the lubricant, that Makarov, who could still get along with the doctor, finally left Tolista unbearably.

"Huh~Doctor, don't be excited, listen to me patiently."

Makarov exhaled another sip of cigarette and barely put away his previous careless attitude.

"Franz may be saved according to the elders' research."

Seeing Dr. Schmidt's white eyebrows raised high, Makarov continued to tell without giving him a chance to interrupt.

"No matter how Alberic developed the technology of taking over the soul with the help of Ishumelga, his soul has been through more than 800 years."

"Even if you have been dormant many times in the middle, it is impossible for mere mortal souls to last for such a long time."

Rosai had mentioned to Ryan before that the gap between humans and holy beasts is not only in the body, but the most critical difference is in the soul.

The body is just a carrier. According to the current medical technology research progress, it can be used to significantly extend human life span in a few hundred years at most with guiding technology.

But simply prolonging life cannot make humans a seed of immortality. The souls of mortals will eventually decay with the passage of time.

"Arberic's soul has long been decayed. He can still survive in Franz's body, relying on the so-called mission given to him by Ishumer."

"If we completely break this mission, in theory, Franz should be able to regain control of his body when Alberic's heart is tremendously shaken."

Ryan sighed and said, "This is meaningless. Franz's body is dead. Alberic uses undead technology similar to the Activator of the Rider to extend his life."

"Even if Franz can regain control of his body, his survival can only last until the end of dusk."

"Once this era of great activation of spiritual veins ends, Franz's body will inevitably be unable to continue to persist, and the return of dust to dust is the only ending."

Makarov agreed and said, "This is also one of the things we focus on. Life and death are the biggest difficulties faced by human beings. Mortals are powerless to do anything about this. At least... they will never be able to break through the boundaries through conventional means."

"Um?"

Ryan looked at Makarov in confusion, "What does this mean? Is there any unconventional means?"

"call……"

Makarov breathed out a cigarette indifferently, "Yes, mortals cannot do it, it does not mean that this world does not have a means to achieve miracles, such as the treasure given to us by the goddess."

A flash of inspiration flashed in Ryan's mind, "You mean, use the power of 'steel' to resurrect Franz?"

"No."

Makarov shook his head, "The power of 'steel' is too violent and humans cannot control it at all."

"The goal of Alberic and Ishumelga is to reunite the seven pieces of power of 'steel' and achieve their ultimate goal through this huge force."

"Our research is similar to those two guys' ideas, but the final result is different."

George glanced at Makarov, took the conversation and said with a smile, "Actually, it is said that it is the elders' research, but it is mainly the senior Makarov who is leading this research project."

"After the power of 'steel' is completed and re-made, the biggest problem we face is Ishumelga."

"If Reinhardt you achieve the final victory in conflict, Ishumelga will definitely mobilize all the power of 'steel' to corrupt you. It is impossible for ordinary humans to resist this kind of corruption."

"We have to find a way to separate Ishmerga's consciousness from you, and about this... you should have prepared something, right?"

Ryan smiled unanimously, "And what? Even if Ishumelga's consciousness is successfully separated and eliminated, how do you plan to break through the limits of humanity and bring Franz back to life?"

"Well..."

Makarov smiled and kept a secret. "The last project can only be completed by the goblin and the witch. Now the answer is reserved for the time being. If you can really get to that point, let's talk about it. After all, there are still many difficulties in the middle of the journey that need to be passed one by one."

"Maybe you find that normal methods cannot solve Ishumelga, and you will eventually fly out of the atmosphere and explode. Telling it in advance will only increase your burden for no reason."

"Self-explosion?!"

Lixia, who had been quietly accompanying Ryan, suddenly exclaimed.

"Uh...that, actually..."

"Lyn, shut up!"

Lisha's rare stern expression made Ryan withdraw her defense. She turned her head and looked at Makarov, who was silly.

"Mr. Makarov, what's going on when you fly out of the atmosphere and explode yourself?"

Makarov took a sip of cigarette awkwardly, and did not notice that the cigarette had already reached the position of the cigarette holder.

"Ahem!"

The strong burnt smell made Makarov couldn't help coughing, "Cough...what, I'm just giving a random example to prove the seriousness of the situation, and it doesn't necessarily make Reinhardt explode in the sky."

Makarov pestled the cigarette butt in the ashtray, stood up and pressed the button of the conveyor.

"I have important projects to go back and continue researching. If you have any questions, please contact me through George."

Leaving a mess, Makarov took the lead in breaking out.

"Hmph~"

Dr. Schmidt calmly turned around and left the living room. George glanced at Ryan with an apology and hurriedly buried his head and followed.

Ryan saw the solemn expression on Lixia's face and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
Chapter completed!
