The keyword of eternal life was a very central theme in this novel. Because the goal of the warlock, who can be said to be the common ‘enemy’ of this world, was ‘eternal immortality.’
For thousands of years, there was only one answer that warlocks had given for ‘eternal immortality’. It is impossible for a living human being not to die. So, let’s make it possible to move from a ‘dead state’.
No matter how mysterious the world is with magic, humanity has not been able to prevent aging.
But one girl with no foundation did it?
‘No matter how genius you are, it doesn’t make sense.’
Ruid couldn’t believe it at all.
“The left one is my blood. “The one on the right is the saint’s blood.”
“Saint…?”
“yes! The saint asked me to tell him, ‘You are the second person to share my blood.’ I immediately realized that this was Ruid’s intention. “Regardless of the rumor that the saint’s blood has the effect of reviving even the dead, you came right after you instructed me to study ‘eternal immortality.’”
Ella looked at Luid with an expression filled with joy.
“It’s amazing that you are acquainted with the saint. “If it weren’t for this blood, we wouldn’t have even had a clue.”
‘…So that’s how it happened.’
I didn’t know that what I said as a joke because I wanted to stop growing at a young age would end up like this.
However, even if there was the blood of a saint, it makes no sense to have discovered the secret of eternal life. This is the Middle Ages. Nothing exists for scientific study.
Ella spread her fingers towards the blood floating in the air.
Then-
wow—.
The formulas and magic circles colorfully written on the wall began to glow.
Light divided into several spectra penetrated the blood.
Finally, when the great magic circle on the ceiling appeared, a transparent membrane appeared right in front of it.
“…!”
It was only then that Ruid realized what the harmony of these many magic formulas was for.
What Ella created was a microscope. Cellular tissue was visible beyond the transparent membrane. It was much larger and had more scope than modern microscopes.
“I thought that if there were any secrets in the saint’s blood, I would have to zoom in very, very large to confirm them. It was harder than I thought, so I spent most of my time doing this. Still, I was able to find out the secret quickly.”
Ella adjusted the angle of the light. Then, an H-shaped cell was seen.
When Ella recited the spell, a very thin laser shot out from her finger. It hit exactly the cell I was looking at. The cells died
black
with a burning sound.
“This is my blood. And like this-”
The black dead cells moved slowly and soon became two.
“If you kill the blood, it divides. “This is probably the principle behind the phenomenon of natural healing when we get hurt.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Gulp, Ruid swallowed his saliva. I felt like I was gradually learning something I shouldn’t have known.
“But the divided blood is different from before. Can you see it? My shoes are gone. “The length is also shorter than before.”
There was something overlaid on the end of the letter H, but the divided cells did not.
“As it continues to divide, it gets shorter and shorter, and after dividing about 70 times, it disappears completely. This time, I will see the saint’s blood.”
Ella did the same thing.
He said with a strange smile.
“Damaged tissue is being regenerated.”
This time too, the cells divided. But it was different from before.
“But the saint’s blood hasn’t gotten any shorter, and more importantly, her socks are still on.”
‘Telomere.’
It was the name of what Ella described as a sock. I saw it on a science YouTube channel that I watched every day before going to bed. I remember it at first glance. The three professors who discovered telomeres all received the Nobel Prize. The time of discovery was probably the late 2000s. A time when science was developed to some extent. However, this is the Middle Ages. There are different ways to count years, but roughly speaking, the year is 1500. In a world where even ‘cells’ had not been discovered, cells that directly affect aging were discovered.
“These socks are key. Because the sock protects the end, it can be regenerated no matter how damaged it is. In other words, if you put all these socks on… According to the theory, it would be possible not only to prevent aging, but also to return the old body to its youth.”
genius. Those words were the only words that came to Ruid’s mind.
“…Of course, it is realistically impossible to put socks on all these small children. Still, to this extent, the research can be said to be successful. “Someday, I’m sure we’ll find out.”
Ella, who is looking at her with eyes that ask for praise like a big dog, is the genius of the century.
I picked her up by chance, but she was not a gemstone with a bright future, but a gem that was already shining brightly.
**
“Are you really saying that you are going to put my name in an academic book?”
“…How did you see me?”
Ella was restless. I was the only one who didn’t know that I had achieved a great achievement. Someone as amazing as Ella deserves to be treated much better than she is now. Fortunately, I was the type of person who could do that.
“I’m not a bad professor who takes away his assistant’s research.”
“But it’s only a theory…”
Ruid was very frustrated with Ella, who had found the ‘secret of eternal life’ and yet had a wrinkly attitude.
“It’s a theory that has been tested.”
“Well, that’s true though. It’s realistically impossible. “No matter what magic you use, you can live forever.”
Ella was right. Even in modern times, only cells that affect aging have been found, and immortality has not been achieved.
However, there was one crucial difference between modern times and this place. Magic. There was a mystery that could achieve something impossible with any technology.
‘…It’s quite feasible.’
The final chapter of the novel. Warlocks succeed in obtaining ‘eternal life’ in their own way. They developed a magic that transfers human memories and minds to a new body, so-called ‘mind uploading’.
To achieve the great magic, three holy relics must be used as a medium.
Implementing Ella’s method was the same. All you have to do is use the holy relic as a medium to activate ‘regeneration magic’ on all cells that are causing aging.
“You need to know your worth. “You are truly a great wizard.”
It is said that extremely advanced science is like magic. This was something that Ruid also sympathized with. Ella was a wizard who could use ‘real magic’.
smart.
Ruid knocked on the door in front. To write in an academic journal, permission from an officially registered archmage was required. Originally, it would have been a complicated process, but since there was one archmage at the academy, it was possible to skip it.
-Come in.

Squeak –
The door to the president’s office opened. Clifford, who looked older than before, was sitting in his seat with a monocle on. He frowned as if he couldn’t see clearly even with his glasses on.
“A student who was expelled and a professor who doesn’t teach and only loses his salary.”
Ella asked, flinching.
“Do you… remember me?”
“Then bitch, don’t you know? If you’re the president of an academy, you have to memorize the faces of all students, even if you can’t. “Please come in.”
“Okay,” Clifford stood up. I made tea with my back behind me. The smell of fragrant herbs filled the room. Clifford, who brought out appropriate refreshments and tea, gave me a scolding for no reason.
“If an old man wants tea, why don’t you at least pretend to help him, tsk tsk.”
“You’re still correcting it.”
“Eh, I’m just talking nonsense.”
Ruid held the glass full with both hands and sipped.
“So, what brought you here?”
“I’ve been researching it.”
Clifford did not like it when professors occasionally visited him and said, “I have been doing research.”
This means that they have neglected the academy’s work. So, I always scolded him, saying, ‘If you’re going to show off while researching, go to the magic tower!’
But- when it came to Ruid’s research, it was a different story. Luid was a genius of the century. He is a being that brings enormous benefits to the academy just by staying still, and the fact that he has been conducting research is very welcome.
Above all, the research done by the youngest member of the Duke of Windsor pays off!
“Hehe, I’m sorry. “I thought he was being overlooked because he became a professor and only gave one lecture, but he ended up doing such an amazing job.”
‘Twice.’
Ruid was uncomfortable. You cut your own achievements by as much as half.
“Luid, your research is something I would welcome with open arms. I don’t even want a thesis or anything like that. Speak verbally. I will organize it myself and post it under your name. However, please hold the briefing session in person.”
“It’s not me.”
“huh?”
“This is research done by my assistant.”
Ella, surprised, waved both hands.
“Oh, no. “I only helped a little.”
“What nonsense.”
“Well, if it weren’t for the saint’s blood, this research couldn’t have been done in the first place. This is so simple that anyone can do it…”
‘Wow, how gaslighted I was.’
Ruid felt sorry for Ella and was almost in tears. It was as if Einstein had been exploited by a rich, immature master.
“haha. “A student who was expelled for cheating has been doing research?”
Ella’s body stiffened at Clifford’s words.
“That’s…”
Ruid said immediately.
“That’s a lie.”
“Are you lying?”
“Why would you take a test here? “Ella is a genius.”
“Wow, genius.”
Ella’s face turned red with anger.
It opened its mouth like a goldfish.
“haha.”
Clifford chuckled.
“It’s a joke. The fact that you came despite all the hassle means that the research is real. So, what is the content of that genius’s research?”
Ruid spoke without hesitation.
“‘The magic of seeing any object enlarged up to 1,000 times.’”
“…!”
‘Immortality should not be made known to the public yet.’
In this world, the black magician is still waking up. It would be difficult for them to know that they had found the clue to immortality.
No, from the beginning, ‘eternal life’ was a topic where even a wise man could become a villain.
There was a strong barrier placed on the academy so they couldn’t even approach it –
but Ella wasn’t going to stay at the academy for the rest of her life.
Even just the microscope is a discovery that can be called a ‘revolution’.
This amount alone is enough to promote Ella’s value.
“You mean a thousand times?”
The act of looking at something enlarged may not be of much use to ordinary people, but it is different for wizards.
Looking and analyzing in detail is the basis of research. Currently, the maximum magnification of something with magic is 20 times.
Clifford immediately recognized its value. No, no wizard who had ever studied it could not have known this value.
“Your assistant found it, not you-”
“Yes. “I didn’t help at all.”
“Lu, Lord Luid.”
Ella didn’t know what to do.
“…if true, this is a huge discovery.”
‘of course.’
Ruid felt as if his own child had been praised. If Ella hadn’t been taken out of Klein Minerva’s workshop, this wouldn’t have happened.
“That’s why you shouldn’t post it under your assistant’s name.”
“…why?”
“Do you think you can handle it? Enlarging an object 1,000 times is unprecedented. Even the great Delrin had only 20x. Breaking Delrin’s achievement. It must be something that deserves to be blessed. But it’s different if it’s a commoner.”
Clifford said coldly.
“Who will admit it? Even if they admit it, do you think the nobles would stand by and watch a commoner who surpassed Delrin? Human jealousy is scary, Ruid. “More than you think-”
Ruid made a sullen expression.
“The president can protect it.”
“Hehe, you bastard. What power does this old man have? Don’t be stubborn and make it a co-author. As the youngest son of the Duke of Windsor, no one would dare argue with him. “It’s better for your assistant too.”
Ruid had no choice but to nod. Clifford’s words were reasonable.
“yes. “I will do that.”
‘It’s not a bad thing to become more and more famous. Ella has many achievements in the future.’
Ella will discover many things in the future.
What Ruid expected was disease. If we can figure out how to prevent aging in just one month, what about other diseases?
In this world, a hole in the stomach can be cured, but diseases like the Black Death cannot be cured. With Ella’s abilities, she would be able to prevent various diseases.
But they won’t tell you.
Aging is also a disease that can be cured.
