Chapter 1479: The Beginning of the Cursed Night (37)

At the same time, somewhere in the north of Great Britain, in front of Vivien's Institute.

Prime Minister Merlin walked some distance at the "bottom of the lake" through a fake lake made of stereoscopic holograms. He had barely reached the gate of Vivien's research institute at the bottom of the lake when a golem came out to greet him.

"Merlin?" the golem emits a floating hologram screen from the head of a camera, reflecting Vivien's face.

There was a slight surprise on her face: "You depetrified earlier than expected. ＂

"Yes, I have my own plans. Merlin did not explain much about his plan to trap and capture prisoners of war today, but said indifferently: "I originally had other things to do, and I didn't plan to come to you to confirm the situation." But His Majesty King Arthur said that there was a petrified British knight here who needed to be rescued urgently, so I stopped by to see what was going on. ＂

"Oh, of course. Vivien then understood Merlin's purpose for coming to her institute: "Come in." The constitution of this experiment is very special, and I am sure you will be very interested in it. ＂

"No, no, no," Merlin waved away, looking uninterested, "I have other things to do, so I won't stay here for long." I'll keep the potion of de-petrification, and if you find a way, inject a dose into the statue. ＂

"Hmm. Vivien was still expecting Merlin to explain more, but she didn't expect Merlin's words to stop abruptly here, so she couldn't help but ask a little impatiently: "And then?"

"And then, just let it be. The mage shrugged irresponsibly: "The effect of this medicine is not enough for everyone to bear, and the chance of successfully removing petrification is only about twenty-five percent."

No, probably lower. From His Majesty King Arthur's description, it seems that the patient has been petrified for most of the day. No matter how advanced your equipment is to preserve your flesh from petrification, it is the limit of what the flesh can withstand at the level of a human being. The chance of successfully depetrifying is about 1 in 1,000. ＂

Merlin was silent for a moment, rolled his eyes, and continued, "But that patient's condition is really special. Did you suffer the venom of a succubus and the poison of a dragon's blood at the same time? And he is also born with amazing anti-magic ability, and even Vivien's teleportation spell can't work on him. A stone statue that had been petrified into that shape and had lost its self-consciousness would have been impossible to continue to possess such a powerful Absolute Realm. It's all incredible. Could it be the effect of the interaction between dragon blood and succubus toxin?"

"Okay, I see, goodbye. Vivien blinked on the screen, knowing that if she continued to let Merlin mutter, things would only go on and on, so she controlled the Golem to take the bottle of the antidote from the mage's hand, and then the Golem turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait. Prime Minister Merlin suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and added, "I know you're interested in that patient's physique, Vivien. But His Majesty King Arthur has specially explained that the knights of Great Britain, whether old or young, are the most important property of the country. Their bodies – life and death – need to be respected. So, I want to see the whole person tomorrow in life and the whole corpse in death, and I hope you don't take his body to do any messy living experiments. ＂

The golem turned its head, and the hologram screen emitted from the golem's head also turned, reflecting Vivien's slightly frowning face, as if her trick had been seen through, and she was unhappy: "I know, don't be long-winded." Lianyin and I have a lot of work to do tonight, and we won't have time to conduct live experiments on that child. Send someone tomorrow to fetch him, and if he can be saved, he will be saved, and if not, I will surely return his body intact. ＂

"Good. Merlin nodded, and turned to leave.

"What a leaky guy. Vivien snorted. But I wonder if this complaint is directed at Merlin or King Arthur?

In the research institute, Vivien had just finished talking to Merlin, and immediately put herself back into her formal work, working with Lianyin to repair the badly damaged [Explorer]. However, her emergency repairs were basically not done by herself, more accurately, she was manipulating a huge control panel with dozens of strands of hair, directing those small maintenance golems from the control panel, and methodically repairing the entire ship's hull. Sometimes, of course, she would control a few strands of hair, curl up the welding torch and other tools, and make minor repairs to some of the delicate parts of the ship.

"Master Merlin is such a person. Lianyin on the side smiled bitterly. The auxiliary work she does here is slightly different from Vivien's, she is mainly responsible for the distribution of materials, so she uses magic to float a large number of steel plates, screws, and various maintenance tools, and assign them to their own places. Most of the steel plates were attached to the ship's hull in this way, waiting for other golems to come and reinforce them.

In fact, it was only about four hours after they brought the badly damaged spaceship to the institute. However, because they cooperated well, they had repaired most of the damaged spacecraft in the past four hours, and it is estimated that the repair of the ship's hull will be completely completed by tomorrow morning.

Of course, the ship also had a power furnace, a master control system, and a host of more complex things to deal with. This is enough to keep them busy for a while.

At the same time, the golem who had gone to answer the door also returned with Merlin's anti-petrification potion. The golem handed the potion to Vivien, then turned to get to work on what it was supposed to do.

"Then again, what are you going to do with this potion?" Lian Yin couldn't help but look at the bottle of potion curiously: "Do you want to inject this into that child's body?"

As far as she knew, the petrified British Knight boy was already half-dead, with a thick circle of petrified on the outside of his body, and only a few organs in his body were barely surviving in suspended animation. However, since the drug is to be injected, it must be injected into the patient's body through a thick layer of petrification with a needle. In this way, the patient's petrified shell will be destroyed, and it will even cause cracking of the petrified layer, and if the cracking is serious, the entire stone statue will collapse and shatter, and people can no longer be saved.

"Trust me, I have my own way. Vivien smiled mysteriously, "Palamides has been petrified for so many years, haven't I always tried to use all kinds of newly developed potions, hoping to save him?" Do you know how I injected potions into a stone statue?"

"It's because I don't know that I want to ask," Lianyin muttered in a low voice.

"Take a break. Vivien ordered, pressing the button on the control panel, and changing the surrounding maintenance golems to automatic control. This way, the Golem Repairers will be assigned to do some of the easier shell repairs, rather than touching the parts that need to be repaired in detail.

Vivian and Lianyin also stopped, and under Vivian's leadership, Lianyin followed the succubus out of the laboratory.

"The life support system is in the basement. Vivien gave a brief explanation, and walked down the stairs at the end of the hallway. Lianyin didn't say a word, just keep up.

Honk. The door to a heavily secured room in the basement opened easily in front of Vivien. In the center of the metallic room was a large glass container. The pale green translucent liquid inside the glass container is soaked in a stone statue of the knight boy Daniel.

"It always feels like I'm asleep," Lianyin muttered to herself, looking at the stone statue. I don't know if it was because of the refraction of the light by those life-sustaining liquids, or because of Lianyin's own delusion, she looked at the stone statue and felt that the stone statue, which was supposed to be hard, seemed to be breathing slightly.

"Theoretically, he did [sleep]. Vivien checked the control panel next to her, which was covered with complex numbers and text, presumably displaying some biometric monitoring data: "He's still alive, at least not completely dead. There are indeed not many people in the world who can still keep their lives like this after drinking dragon blood. ＂

Lianyin remained silent as Vivien watched as Vivien drained about half of the life-sustaining liquid from the glass container.

As the liquid was drained away, Daniel's stone statue revealed a head.

"What a dwarf. Vivien couldn't help but complain: "I didn't expect the British Knights to hire this kind of imp as a regular knight." How short of people are they?"

Lianyin remained silent. I always feel that if I talk nonsense, I will offend all those who shouldn't be offended.

"Lianyin, you just asked me how to inject the potion of de-petrification into a body covered in heavy stones, right?" Vivien smiled, "This mystery will be solved soon, just watch." ＂

She placed the de-petrification potion she had just gotten into a groove in the control panel. A robotic arm immediately grabbed the potion bottle in the groove, and a syringe pumped out the liquid from the bottle.

"It has been seven years since Palamides turned to stone and has not recovered. Vivien continued, with a little lamentation, "So I've been studying petrification for seven years. During this time, I discovered a little secret. ＂

The drained potion had passed through some sort of internal pipe and into another syringe. The syringe filled with the anti-petrochemical had moved to the inside of the large glass container, and slowly moved towards Daniel's stone statue, driven by a robotic arm.

"The flesh petrified because the cells could not withstand the excessive flow of photons through the flesh in a short period of time. Vivien began to elaborate.
