Chapter 600: Research Life in Fort Blois
This year's Valentine's Day, Maca spent it with Willy. Fastest updates
Well, to be exact, he spent most of the day with Willy's blood sample. As for Willie herself, he had little time to run around and bother.
This time, the examination of Willy went unexpectedly well. After some testing of the so-called "curse" yesterday, he quickly discovered that the blood anomaly contained an extremely secret magical fluctuation.
If he hadn't had the heart to sense it this time, it would have been difficult to detect even with his sensitivity to magic fluctuations.
Regardless, it's always good to be able to find the key so quickly. As a result of this discovery, Maca has a more targeted research direction, and Willie has taken the first step to get rid of this family genetic "curse".
It was already dusk, but Maca was still concentrating on her analysis in the research room provided by Willy's father. Blood sample checklists aided by various magic tests and spells were in his hand, and a large stack of scratch paper in front of him was already filled with symbols and data.
This may be similar to a blood test in a Muggle hospital, but in reality, the process of performing only a magic reaction analysis on a blood sample is much more puzzling.
In fact, this is of course, after all, magic is usually a spiritual thing, and nothing unusual can be found from physical testing alone.
By this time, the blood sample in the test tube had already turned into a strangely viscous substance emitting various fluorescent particles. Each of these color particles corresponds to a targeted reagent test, and the chaotic magic fluctuations alone may not even be able to fully analyze the most advanced alchemy instruments at present.
But Maca relied on his own ability to refine his sense of magic fluctuations to an astonishing degree. If he was far away, he might not be as good as those alchemy props, but the close range could bring his abilities to the extreme, and it could be said that it was perfect for research.
But even so, if you want to study what this "bloodline curse" is that only manifests in the blood, it is impossible to draw valuable conclusions based on data alone.
“…… At first, I thought I had found something terrible, but now it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the Bewitching Monument or the Ancient Magic Mirror. ”
He sat at a table in the middle of the research room, tapping lightly on the scratch paper with the tip of a quill pen, and a deep look in his bloodshot eyes.
In fact, as soon as he sensed the secret fluctuations in his blood, the sense of déjà vu became unusually strong. At the time, he almost certainly made a guess that the curse had some unknown connection to the Monument of Bewitchment and the Ancient Magic Mirror.
Yes, looking back, all three are things that can cause terrible disasters, which gives another strong side evidence.
But after he spent most of the day checking and verifying, he reluctantly discovered a fact that the three didn't seem to have so much connection at all, from the nature of magic to the effectiveness of the performance, it can only be said that there seem to be similarities, but in fact they are completely different.
"Is this a waste of time?"
Maca threw the quill in her hand into the inkwell, leaned the back of the upholstered chair, and pinched her forehead to relieve her tiredness.
In fact, he already had a considerable degree of knowledge about the Bewitching Tablet and the Ancient Magic Mirror. The former shows attachment and erosive influence on the soul, and the final goal is to completely control the soul; The latter, on the other hand, was simply sucked and swallowed, and from beginning to end he posed in a ferocious and vicious posture.
As for the bloodline curse on Willy's body, judging from the effect it exerted underground last time, it seems to have some effect on the minds of others. If I had to make a comparison, it might be more similar to the Confusion Charm than the Monument of Confusion and the Ancient Mirror.
Of course, in terms of intensity and range, the two are not an order of magnitude!
"No wonder Mr. Blois wants to find someone to carry out the bloodline transformation for Willy," Maca casually picked up the test table next to him, shook it slightly, and let out a soft sound, "But until the real cause is found, bloodline transformation alone may not be able to get a sure and effective result......"
No matter how strong a wizard's bloodline transformation technology is, the process of transformation will also contain all kinds of unpredictable dangers, which is a magical study with both risks and opportunities. In the modern wizarding world, modifying the bloodlines of creatures has long been banned by the International Federation of Wizards, and it is for this reason.
In history, Merlin is an extremely famous bloodline transformation master, but in his glorious life, didn't he also leave an indelible stain because of many transformation failures?
Maca didn't dare to take the risk of transforming the bloodline on Willy, for him, it was completely different from doing it on the eight-eyed giant spider Aragog.
Even Maca may not have a high bottom line in terms of ethics, but in terms of the emotions of knowing Willy, there are enough reasons for him to be cautious.
He thought about it for a few more moments, but finally shook his head, stood up, walked around the lab tables full of test tubes, flasks, and crucibles, and walked slowly to the door.
After a long period of research, without many breakthroughs, he decided to go out for a walk and clean up his thinking that had been solidified by a large amount of data and theories.
When he pushed open the door of the laboratory, a dazzling sunset enveloped his whole body through the window in the opposite hallway, causing his tense nerves to relax.
"Mr. McLean, you're out? Need some snacks and tea first? ”
Yes, Willy's father took extremely good care of Maca, and even equipped him with two maids, which can already be said to be the extent that he can stretch out his hand with his mouth and clothes. In fact, if Maca had not refused once, Monsieur Blois would have wanted to give him twice as many men.
"No, no." Maca smiled and shook her head at one of the maids standing by the door, "I told you all, you don't have to stand here all the time, wouldn't you go in and sit down for a while?" ”
"No, how can that work." The other party immediately said seriously, "The head of the family has ordered, when you are researching, no one can disturb you, not even the head of the family himself, our task is to stop all the distractions for you, how can you make mistakes yourself?" ”
"Actually, I've always had good anti-interference skills," Maca smiled and waved her hand, "Okay! Do whatever you want, and I won't embarrass you...... Now, take me to your young lady! You can also take a walk along the way. ”
"Yes, sir." The two maids immediately replied in unison.
The overall space of this laboratory in Fort Blois is not small, and the place where Maca stayed just now is just one of them. The laboratory, located on the innermost side of the south side of Fort Blois, exited from the corridor was the large square in the center of the castle, and the sunset was particularly brilliant as the sun was approaching.
The tower where Willy lived was on the other side of the square, diagonally opposite, not far away. Belch...... I mean, if you don't count the width of the square.
As a castle made up of buildings on all sides, the central castle square is surprisingly wide and would be too large to be considered a Quidditch arena.
Maca paced behind and strolled through the empty square, bathed in the slightly warm sunset, and couldn't help but feel comfortable for a while. He walked with the maid who led the way to the bottom of Willy's tower.
"Mr. McLean, are you here to find Miss?"
Before she could enter the gate on the ground floor of the tower, Maca was stopped by a guard guarding the gate.
"That's right," Maka paused, thinking for a moment, "is it Willy's that she's not here?" ”
When the other party heard this, he nodded his head: "Yes, Miss went to the greenhouse, if Mr. wants to find her, you can go there and have a look." ”
"Greenhouse?" "I remember, when I came here a few years ago, there wasn't a greenhouse here, right?" ”
As he had noticed, there was no greenhouse at Fort Blois in the past, which had been renovated by Monsieur Blois the year to meet the needs of his daughter's hobby.
"Oh, yes," replied the guard, "it was built just last year. ”
"Sir, if you're going to the greenhouse, please go this way," the maid beside Maca reacted quickly, and immediately whispered after realizing that Maca was probably going to pass.
"Well, please lead the way."
After nodding to the guard, he headed to the southeast of the square under the guidance of the maid.
The greenhouse was naturally very recognizable, and it didn't take long for Maca to see a curved greenhouse made of transparent partitions from a distance, and it was lush and green inside, which could be seen from the outside.
And in the middle of the greenhouse, a small figure with long silver-white hair stood at the table and seemed to be repotting a few plants. With a small shovel in her hand, she expertly turned the dirt, and although her face was still expressionless, Maca could feel that her interest seemed to be very high.
Speaking of which, the fact that Maca was living in her house seemed to make her quite happy. She has not been accompanied by friends since she was a child, but now she has Maca, and this feeling of peace of mind is something she has rarely experienced so far.
"Willy?"
Maca pushed open the door of the greenhouse and shouted.
