Chapter Seventy-Four: Experiments

Cangqi's attitude, and even the atmosphere of Maple Grove Castle, made Saul worried.

Sanar's words kept recalling in his mind, and he gradually had a bad premonition.

"Two months! Give me another two months. ”

This is to engrave the magic circuit, and this is the only one that needs a stable environment!

Once the loop is completed, there is a crystal nucleus, which is equivalent to the existence of a mobile workshop, and Thor is high and wide.

......

The magic scroll that unlocked the seal kept stretching and shrinking in Thor's hand.

It can be held in the palm of the palm for a short period of time and is about the length of a forearm for a long time.

This is the reason why the seal is lifted and the procedure is unstable.

Replenish the mana, plus a new seal, and it would be good.

Unfolding the scroll, the cumbersome space magic circle was glowing with a faint light.

Stretching out the magic circle is like stepping into the water, and there is a cool feeling.

Thor has no magic and cannot explore the exact size of the space.

According to the size of the sailboat released by the old ghost at that time, it is estimated that it is at least three meters long, two meters wide, and one meter deep, which is a lot of space.

a small pile of gold nuggets, jewels, an Ogin check, nine black magic stones;

A heraldic ring, a hand-drawn map, and a weird ball.

The rest were clothes, water, food, materials, codexes, medicines, and so on.

Pick up the little ball and start it smooth, it's not solid, it's like a water ball wrapped in a film.

With a light touch, a dent immediately appears, let go, and it recovers.

"What's in it?"

Weighing, shaking and observing, only a thick liquid can be seen, and there seems to be a black shadow, but it is not clear to see.

At this time, the sunlight shines into the room through the windowsill and sprinkles on the small ball in his hand, and the black shadow floats inside.

Thor let out a startled sigh, raised the strange ball, and brought it to his eyes.

Suddenly, a dark shadow swept away the liquid and stabbed at it, Thor's eyes shrunk, and he instinctively leaned back to dodge.

"Po"

The black shadow hit the membrane, and a raised mark appeared, struggling twice, and retracted helplessly.

Thor blinked, suppressed the panic in his heart, and quickly walked to the window, bathing the ball in the sun.

Poo, poo, in an instant, one bulge after another appeared on the film of the ball.

You can clearly feel the dark shadow's desire for the sun's rays.

Well?

After staring at it for a long time, Thor finally saw the true face of the black shadow in a flash.

It's a lump of meat!

About the size of a baby's fist, it keeps contracting like a heart.

Sunlight shines through a membrane on its body, like water on a sponge, and is instantly absorbed.

Then the flesh mass stretched out more tentacles and slammed wildly into the membrane.

After just a few minutes in the sun, the film sphere becomes hedgehog-like, with bumps everywhere.

It almost fell off Thor's hands.

Removing the film sphere from sunlight immediately reduces the frequency of impact.

Then put it in a dimly lit corner, and it was silent for a moment.

"What is it that craves sunlight and seems to be able to animate it?"

Thor carefully placed the film orb into a wooden box and rummaged through the codex on the floor.

"Obsidian?"

Soon learned its origin from a travelogue codex of the old ghost.

However, there is no relevant information in the crystal nucleus.

According to the old ghost's account, he and a team once accidentally discovered a dungeon.

At that entrance, I came across a strange creature, with no concrete form, hidden in the shadows.

At first they thought it was a mud monster, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of it.

After getting a lot of gains, when leaving the dungeon, I encountered this creature again.

According to common sense, everyone thought that as long as they fled outside, to the sun, this creature that seemed to be a mud monster would retreat.

But I don't want to, the moment I arrive in the outside world, the nightmare really begins!

The monster, which was originally a puddle of mud, swelled wildly after absorbing the sunlight, and various mutations appeared.

Some drill into the human body and can manipulate the human body;

Some of them mutate and become invulnerable and hard as diamond......

A squad of more than 20 people was wiped out in an instant.

Only the old ghost escaped by wearing the ghoul touch obtained in the dungeon at a critical moment.

The dead team members were all fellow villagers of the old ghost, and they came out to take risks because they were unwilling to be poor, and they died in a foreign country.

There is a legend in the hometown of the old ghost.

When the troops who went out were all wiped out, the bad news came, and the tears of the family wept bitterly were scattered on the ground, and they would turn into small black stones, shining brilliant colors in the sun.

People call this gemstone of tears of sorrow an Apache gemstone, a beautiful gemstone that no longer weeps.

Later, when outsiders invaded and changed customs, the Apache gemstone was rudely changed to obsidian.

As the years passed, people only knew the name obsidian and no longer remembered "Apache".

The old ghost returned to his hometown without face, and after calling the creature "obsidian", he wandered the world.

The piece of flesh inside the membrane sphere was the one he found again a month ago.

Taken from the obsidian.

The old ghost is actually twenty-five years old, and because of the ghoul touch, he has become an old ghost.

So, he used the obsidian to transform his own flesh!

Relying on the Obsidian's traits, perhaps neutralize the side effects of Ghoul Touch and gain more power.

"Transforming the flesh?!"

Saul remembered Antas, who had briefly studied the corpse of Moss "Blaster".

Knowing the origin of the meat block, Thor became more and more interested in the killer organization to which the old ghost belonged.

Squat down and pick up that heraldic ring.

Made of bronze material, it is a masked skeleton with a string of letters meaning "obsidian" engraved on the side ring.

This is the identity credential of the old ghost in the killer organization - a bronze-level killer, codenamed "Obsidian".

"Do you only recognize the voucher, but not the person?"

Putting away the ring, Thor sealed it with the same blood sacrifice as the old ghost, and confessed the scroll.

Then the codex was placed on the desk, and the rest, along with the homemade backpack, was put into the scroll.

By the way, that hand-drawn map is a map of the location of the dungeon drawn by the old ghost himself.

"Nine black magic stones, plus the reward for the capture of the flag gamble, nearly thirty magic stones are a 'huge amount of money'. ”

"Spend it as soon as possible and turn it into strength. ”

......

Maple Grove Castle Underground Laboratory No. 9, where Thor has been researching dolls for more than thirty days.

Dissected corpses hung on the walls around them, and below them were glass bottles in which the organs were placed.

Some of the anatomical bodies have removed blood vessels, some have separated nerves, and some have only opened the skull.

In the center of the laboratory, there are two horizontal platforms with two different dolls lying on each side.

One was stripped of its skin, and the flesh was sliced open, revealing black lines that resembled capillaries.

In the heart of the chest, there is a hole with a wall of silver granular crystals.

This is a traditional magic doll.

The black veins are the magic circle, and the crystal wall space on the chest is the magic furnace, which can be filled with energy, or placed magic stones.

On the other bench is a doll that has been cut in half.

Dark red sinew, miserable white bones, completely flesh and blood, almost identical to human structure.

There are only three things that are different from the human body.

First, there is an oval space the size of a fingernail behind the center of the forehead and eyebrows of the skull.

Attached to it is a black thread-like substance that is very different from flesh and blood.

Second, there is no heart in the chest, only a honeycomb structure, which is the magic furnace.

The third is the black substance from the glandular space of the forehead, to the magic furnace at the heart, the vertical and horizontal torso limbs, and the joints and fingers.

This is a doll made by the magic of Maple Grove Castle.

The elliptical space behind the puppet's forehead is the glandular space that fills the "module".

The black substance, in Saul's view, is equivalent to the human nervous system, playing a modular role.

Next to the two test tables, there is another puppet.

This doll is full of fantasy.

The two eyes are rubies, the limbs are claw-like arms, and the chest has two metal plates open in the midline.

At the heart of the exposed heart is a spherical steam oven with three ports in different positions.

Beyond the steam furnace, one can see the depths, densely packed with pipes, mechanical gears, metal bars, etc.

This is another faction's puppet, the Mechanical Golem.

These three dolls cost Thor nearly twenty magic stones.

Straightening up from the bench, Thor took a deep breath and relaxed.

Then he put the tools in his hand aside, walked briskly to the desk next to him, and wrote excitedly on a codex:

"It turns out that the so-called puppet making is a process that uses magic, steam machinery or other means to simulate the operation of the human body!"
