Chapter 28 Experimental Protocol, Uninvited Guest
"Creatures that cannot use their mental power all use their hearts as the source of their power."
"Therefore, the starting point of these eight spell nodes needs to be located on Andy's heart."
The Scarlet Wizard first shared her records of experiments on other sharks, and then determined the location of the first node.
After marking the heart of the model, the Scarlet Wizard continued searching on it.
— Inscribing spell nodes onto other creatures is not a rigid process; it is not simply a matter of transplanting the location of the node directly into the creature's body.
That would require an adjustment based on the organism's own vitality model, so that the spell model aligns with the organism's own vitality model.
Otherwise, this spell model would not only fail to become a spell mastered by the living being, but would also conflict with the flow of the living being's own life force the moment it was implanted, and finally... explode with a 'boom'.
Of course, the Crimson Wizard had already derived a general idea of the improved spell model from those ordinary sharks.
What she and Luo Ang need to do now is to adjust the general answer to create a more specific, detailed plan that is more in line with Andy's needs.
"The final node is where power is released."
"Ideally, it should land on the teeth, fins, and tail."
"Only in this way can we channel our power outwards, rather than harming ourselves."
"Which of these three locations do you think is more suitable, Wizard Thunder?"
"I asked the Scarlet Wizard," he asked, looking quite conflicted.
Andy was, after all, her contractual partner. Even if it wasn't a permanent partnership, she still hoped that her "transformation" of Andy would be as perfect as possible.
"Why can we only choose one, instead of both?" Loon put down the Scarlet Wizard's latest experimental record and raised his hand to fiddle with Andy's life force model.
"Our modifications don't need to be that meticulous."
Based on this model, Loon used his mental energy to construct different slashing techniques, starting with the heart and ending with Andy's teeth, fins, and tail.
Then, adjust and rotate the model little by little.
As Luo Ang moved, the positions of the nodes in the model changed accordingly, either overlapping or moving closer together.
Even so, these spell models did not completely overlap.
Next, Loon continued to enlarge these spell models, and then expanded the node accordingly.
In this way, the seven nodes in the model, excluding the tail, are barely "overlapped" together.
"See, isn't this enough?" Loen's gaze fell on the overlapping models.
"Crimson Wizard, the giant shark is much larger than us—we can be much bolder in our actions against it."
"I even think we can use this spell model as a carrier and inscribe it directly onto Andy's fin tail."
"In this way, as long as Andy's heart is still beating, when his power flows between these fins and tail, it will naturally follow this spell model and be released as the power of the spell."
Compared to the Scarlet Wizard's original modification plan, this modification plan has a much higher success rate and a much smaller impact on life.
If it weren't for the Scarlet Wizard's shark experiments, Loon would likely have chosen this modification method to ensure safety—that is, to inscribe the part of the physical body corresponding to the slashing technique onto his finger.
In this way, even if a problem occurs, the only cost will be a finger. When that happens, the finger can be cut off and a way can be found to grow back.
The Crimson Wizard agreed with Loon's first point of view regarding Loon's proposal, but rejected Loon's idea of inscribing the entire spell model between Andy's fins.
"Thunder Wizard, Andy is different from us."
"Andy lacks intelligence and is unable to determine the focus of his power."
"If the entire spell model is built between his fins and tail, his life instinct will cause his own life force to shift towards his fins and tail, making his fins and tail bloated."
"At that point, he won't be able to swim anymore."
"The Crimson Wizard said."
Most importantly, if they only inscribed the spell model between Andy's fins and tail, they would have no way of knowing what kind of effect the spell model of this slashing technique would have on a person's body.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ang suddenly realized what was going on.
He almost forgot the true nature of this experiment.
"It seems I'm indeed not suited to conduct life experiments."
"I'd better focus on calculating the changes in this spell model." Loon refocused his attention on the spell model in front of him, and based on Andy's life force model, he twisted the structure of the spell model little by little, so that the spell model and Andy's life force model could fit together.
The Crimson Wizard made no comment on Loen's sigh.
She had already noticed that the Thunder Wizard before her had a peculiar reverence for the existence of life, as well as a kind of "kindness" that shouldn't belong to a wizard.
But for her, this was clearly a good thing.
In any case, given the choice between a kind companion who respects life and a ruthless one, most people would choose the former.
Therefore, during the experiment, she preferred to conduct all the experiments independently, so as not to let the Thunder Wizard gradually become indifferent and abandon his reverence for life while conducting experiments with his life on the line.
As for herself... throughout their relationship, Luo Ang was always in a dominant position.
Therefore, she was not worried about any negative changes in herself—moreover, before meeting Luo Ang, she had already conducted many experiments and was used to the feeling of experimenting with her life.
Thus, another half month passed before Loen and the Crimson Wizard finally completed the reconstruction of the spell model, ensuring that the eight nodes of the slashing spell corresponding to the body could match Andy's life force model.
"The next step is to inscribe these spell nodes onto Andy."
—This step requires tearing open Andy's flesh and inserting some materials that can be used as casting materials for the slashing spell into Andy's body to stimulate Andy's vitality and cause the position corresponding to the spell node to change accordingly.
This is a rather "cruel" step.
"Andy is ultimately my contractual partner."
"Thunder Wizard, let me complete this step on my own," said Crimson Wizard.
"Then I'll leave it to the Crimson Wizard." Loon nodded and offered encouragement.
"Be as daring as possible when modifying the Scarlet Wizard."
"Even if the experiment fails, even if we can't save Andy, I will do my best to help you contract another ferocious beast," Loon said.
The Beastmaster Wizard categorizes beasts into three types.
The first type is an ordinary wild animal, with no mysterious marks on its body.
The second type is the raging beast. Although they are not yet magical beasts, they have already touched the mystical realm, with mysterious power flowing within their bodies, and they possess power and awareness that surpasses that of ordinary beasts.
Andy is currently at this level.
Going a step further, there are magical beasts that have mastered mysterious powers—they are divided into different levels according to the strength of the mysteries they have mastered, just like wizards.
Of course, some people refer to magical beasts that only possess level zero spells as lesser magical beasts.
If the Scarlet Wizard's modification of Andy is successful, then Andy will become a lesser magical beast.
At that time, Andy's own power will gradually spread from his body to his spirit.
For Beastmaster Wizards, contracted partners are an indispensable part of their wizarding path; without them, their system is incomplete.
No matter how talented they are, it is difficult for them to go any further.
If given a choice, all the Watchers would want to directly contract a real magical beast, one with extremely powerful bloodlines and potential.
But in this barren plane, there are no real magical beasts to be found.
Even someone like Andy, who has already touched upon mysterious and savage beasts, is not so easy to find.
Before becoming a wizarding apprentice, when the Crimson Wizard considered contract partners, she never thought of aquatic creatures—after all, compared to this vast world, the limitations of aquatic creatures were simply too great.
There are many ways for creatures on land to get into the water, but it's incredibly difficult for creatures in the water to get onto land.
Even now, the Scarlet Wizard is not very satisfied with Andy.
But as I said before, it was already quite an achievement for her to find Andy in this barren world.
As for raising a ferocious beast from start to finish, that is certainly a viable method.
But the Scarlet Wizard of the past did not have the resources or time for that.
Just as the two were riding the shark to the shark farm, a strange rhythm suddenly spread throughout the sea, passing over Loen and the Crimson Wizard.
Immediately afterwards, a sinister laugh came down from the sky.
"Haha, my dear Crimson Lady, I've found you again."
"I won this game again!"
"Have you prepared the prize I deserve?"
"By the way, I heard that you found a handsome young man about six months ago."
"So according to our game rules, I've found both of you, so I should get double the prize."
The voice that came from the sky was filled with unbridled pride.
Upon hearing that voice, the Scarlet Wizard's expression immediately changed, and she instinctively wanted to sink and escape—only then did she suddenly remember that things were not the same as before!
