Chapter 103: Chapter 92: Shaping Magic Potion Experiment (Two-in-One)
One day later, in a cleaned room inside the “Boat Gang” headquarters in the southern district, Lynn, having finished the morning lesson, was holding a sharp dagger and cutting a piece of flesh from a greenish corpse.
In life and in death, Nu’er’s body was drastically different. The flesh no longer had its previous magical ability to recover and had become dry and shriveled, much like green jerked meat.
Lynn tried placing a small chunk of the cut flesh in his palm and then activated the “Elementary Material Decompilation Skill,” aiming to see how Nu’er’s cells differed from those of ordinary people.
Unexpectedly, the cells within these chunks of flesh were highly unstable. After being slightly affected, they directly decomposed.
The dark-green blood and tissue cells scattered in all directions but then, under the effect of the Mage’s Hand, came together and were discarded to one side.
Being a defective product, the flesh and blood tissue itself was very unstable.
Or was it because I had injected magic power, causing this rejection?
Previous experiments with magic had shown him that all living things possess a slight resistance to magic, and if the subject is a wizard itself, then the resistance would be even higher.
This point was vividly demonstrated in battles among wizards, for instance, Luo’er once used the second-circle magic “High-temperature Steaming Kill” on him. Theoretically, if he could manipulate the high-temperature gas in reverse, he could counter the magic, but since the gas was fundamentally a creation of the opponent’s magic power, it was not influenced by him at all.
Lynn pondered for a long time and subconsciously wanted to go for an optical microscope to observe the state of the tissues physically, but he shook his head as he noticed the utterly empty room.
The conditions are far too harsh. There’s no way to conduct proper magical research …
Incubators, sterilization rooms, centrifuges, refrigerators … Right now, we have nothing.
While miraculous magic can replace many pieces of equipment, it is not almighty. A well-equipped workshop lab is essential for any wizard passionate about researching magic.
Soft knocks came from outside the door.
Lynn refroze Nu’er’s corpse, then called for them to come in.
“Master Lynn, we’ve prepared everything you need,” said Laud as he led a few sailors cautiously into the room, each carrying large boxes.
These contained things like sulfur, saltpeter, glycerine.
Of course, Lynn wasn’t planning to make any black gunpowder this time; he merely prepared some things for self-defense.
Although he planned to confront the “Dark Physician” Radak, that didn’t mean he would just barge in and grab him.
From the little intelligence that Nu’er had disclosed, the “Bloodthorn” was an extremely large organization, with at least several rank-three wizards, over a dozen official members, and hundreds of Wizard Apprentices…
For the relatively inexperienced Lynn, confronting them head-on was practically an impossibility.
Although his combat strength wasn’t weak having developed White Phosphorus Fire and “Liquid Nitrogen – Frost Domain,” Lynn knew full well that no official wizard would be easy to handle.
If one were to say that Anluoke, a bishop skilled in Divine Arts, was difficult to handle because they could borrow strength from deities, then wizards were daunting due to their various mysterious magics and alchemical tools.
Lynn could imagine just how many life-preserving tricks those wealthy third-circle wizards with no chance of advancing to a great wizard might possess.
If it weren’t for being utterly broke, he would have long since procured a set of life-saving alchemical items for himself – it’s always better to spend the money than to die with it unspent.
Therefore, directly confronting them was the most foolish move. Unless absolutely necessary, Lynn was not planning to reveal his identity, otherwise, he would have to face various open and concealed threats before the “Bloodthorn” was completely destroyed.
In comparison, Lynn preferred to quietly sneak in, find a chance to be alone with the “Dark Physician” Radak, and then knock him out stealthily, and spirit him away without anyone being the wiser.
However, such a smooth scenario likely only existed in fantasies …
To face potential conflicts, it was necessary to prepare accordingly.
The infamous Hell’s Fire, used to obliterate Harbor Town, or the “Liquid Nitrogen – Frost Domain” already revealed in his fight against Luo’er, couldn’t be used casually as they could easily lead others to connect them to his identity, unless he was certain he could eliminate all witnesses …
Under disguise, he could only rely on some basic magics, and the swordsmanship that became incredibly powerful with the aid of his smart brain analysis.
This was clearly insufficient for dealing with some extreme situations. Considering this, Lynn planned to develop a new type of magic to serve as his trump card.
This time, he chose the “Corrosion Skill!”
This magic was quite miraculous; miraculously, ten wizards using the “Corrosion Skill” simultaneously might cause different levels of damage because the strength of the “Corrosion Skill” entirely depended on the corrosiveness of the liquid produced.
The stomach acid of Corpse Ghosts, which Nu’er had used before, had a strong corrosive effect on flesh, but it had its limitations against those wearing protective gear and could not dissolve metals.
Lynn was planning to prepare aqua regia to serve as the material for performing “Corrosion Skill” and numerous other derivative magics.
