Victor, Sylvia, and Trisley stood on the inner observation deck on the second floor of the Red Frosttree Manor's makeshift Potion Castle, watching Grimm the Short lead a group of apothecaries busy in the hall. On the stone platform in the center of the hall lay a man in the prime of his 30s, his face was fierce, his whole body was naked, revealing a strong and compact muscle, and he looked very powerful. But his hands and feet, elbows, knees, waist, chest, and forehead were all firmly bound by the pure gold clasp, and only his eyes and mouth could move.

Grimm, the dwarf, stepped forward and muttered something in the strong man's ear, asking him about his physical and mental state, interspersed with some encouragement, such as that as long as he cooperated fully, the experiment would be successful, and then he would be rewarded with how much wealth, how many women, and so on. Although the strong man is nothing more than moving, he also knows how to bargain with the wise dwarf, and he repeatedly declares that he does not want wealth and women, but only wants to gain great power and serve the noble mistress.

The familiar scene reminded Victor that he was once the test subject of a wealthy man in the earth world, and before the X-3 was implanted and his body was replaced, the presiding experimental doctor was like Grimm the Short to "comfort" him. The difference is that the doctor used the image of the enemy's tragic disaster to break through his psychological defenses, and the subjects here have been mentally enslaved by Sylvia and have become more cooperative, which obviously increases the success rate of the experiment.

Confirming that the test materials were ready, the wise gnome took a bottle of bright red potion from his assistant's hand and put it to the subject's mouth, helping him slowly drink the entire bottle of potion.

Almost in the next second, the potion had an effect, the experimenter's eyes were red, the muscle lines were floating, the whole person looked extremely strong, the secret medicine oil applied to the whole body was absorbed by the skin at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the bronzed skin soon glowed with a thin red light, but it was so attention-grabbing.

Grimm the Short and the pharmacists on the scene stared intently at the strong man who had entered a bloodthirsty state, and everyone looked nervous, for fear that he would immediately vomit blood from his mouth and die violently.

Their fears didn't happen, and the brawny man tensed the muscles in his arm and controlled his adamantite clasp to make a clicking sound like a rat's teeth.

The attempt to break free of the clasp was unsuccessful, and the strong man couldn't help but shout: "Let go of me." ”

Grimm the Short was overjoyed, and it was a good sign that the test material could speak. He stepped forward, and instead of rushing to order the secret knight to unbuckle the clasp, he asked him a bunch of questions.

The subject's mental state appeared to be normal, and the questions were answered in a coherent manner. The pharmacists involved in the trial were all happy, holding quills to record the conversation between Green and the experimenter.

Sylvia on the observation deck sighed faintly and said melancholy, "I failed again......"

The skin and muscles on the strong man's face gradually relaxed, and the speed of the mutation became faster and faster, and the whole face was like a melting candle, and the nose, mouth, and chin were all gone, leaving only a pair of eyes that were dripping and rolling. There was a brief silence in the hall from the terrifying scene, "No!" Green the Short let out a scream of disappointment, and then screamed again, "He's not dead yet......!" Whoever is that, take the ultimate healing potion and give him a drink...... What, no mouth? You stupid pig, your mouth is collapsed, you can't turn it?"

The pharmacists are busy again, this time trying to keep a new test material.

"It's the blood that collapses. Victor retracted his gaze, turned to Sylvia, and smiled and reassured: "Don't be discouraged, my dear, he is still alive, and we are not far from success." ”

"If it fails, it's also a problem with the potion you concocted. Trisley glanced at Victor with disdain, then took Sylvia's arm, and analyzed: "Most of the experimenters who were implanted with the 'Apostle' by you died on the spot, and three of them survived recently, they died after taking the Psychic Potion, I think Victor didn't mix the potion. ”

The so-called "apostle" is actually a sub-personality, dedicated to combat, with a keen fighting instinct and a specific fighting mood, most commonly berserk or bloodthirsty. However, it does not have any conflict with the experimenter's personality, and is usually silent in the depths of the soul, and only by taking the psychic potion as a trigger medium, the apostle will be awakened, blended with the personality, and dominate, thus prompting the experimenter to enter a state of combat concentration, and can maintain part of the sanity of the personality.

The "Apostle" experiment is not fanciful, and Victor himself is the most successful and striking example. His X-3 can be seen as an "apostle", and Randall's dual talent trees are also based on X-3, coupled with his heart's desire. However, Victor's activation of the "Apostle" relied on spiritual power and the Void Water element in his body. The mid-tier Psychic Warrior he designed to take Psychic Potions as a trigger medium.

Although Victor envisioned different types of psychic warrior schools, he chose the bloodthirsty talent first for the sake of experimentation. Because he once observed the changes in the bloodline of the Blood Guardian with his insight talent in Andrea's Wind Chime Castle, he has a relatively good understanding of human bloodthirsty talent.

Due to Tofowen's warning of the risk of genetic contamination with the Boiling Blood Elixir, Victor's reconfigured Psychic Elixir abandons the spinal cord of the wolf-like creatures and is entirely plant-based.

With Victor's understanding of bloodthirsty talent and his level of pharmacy, his carefully concocted psychic medicine will not cause fatal harm to humans, and the consequence of ordinary people taking it by mistake is that diarrhea does not stop, and they can basically be rescued.

The least experienced person in the entire trial was Sylvia.

"Apostle" involves a change in the part of the soul's will, and it is inappropriate to describe Sylvia's work as hypnotic or suggestive. It is more accurate to carve the sub-personality.

Sylvia's spiritual power is like an invisible sword, capable of easily destroying the souls of ordinary people. Victor asked her to "carve" the will side of a person's soul with a sharp sword, which she had never done before.

Over the past four months, a total of 72 death row inmates have been used as experimental materials, of which 44 were killed on the spot in the process of carving the "bloodthirsty apostles", 25 died after going insane, and only 3 survived the opportunity to take the psychic potion. Today's test material is the only person who has taken the psychic potion and survived, although his bloodline has collapsed, Sylvia can make a major breakthrough in just five months, which is already a rapid progress.

Victor was convinced that there was no problem with the bloodthirsty soul potion he had concocted, and he reached out and quietly pinched Trisley's round ass, determined to punish the little vinegar jar tonight, and see if she would dare to arrange her own man at will in the future.

Trisley's beautiful little face flushed with a faint flush, and there was a hint of sultry charm in her angry glaring at Victor.

Sylvia didn't care about the intimate interaction between Victor and Trisley, and asked with a clear gaze, "The last three testers are all junior psychic warriors who have built the talent of life tenacity, and it seems that ordinary people can't withstand the power of the 'Apostle'...... How many junior psychic warriors do we have?"

Trisley twisted her waist and took a step forward, free from Victor's caresses, and replied softly, "There are also 11 beginner psychic warriors, 8 males and 3 females. But...... They were all secret guardians cultivated by their families, and there were no more beginner-level psychic warriors among those death row prisoners. ”

"Oh, what should I do?" said Sylvia, annoyed. Using the vast and profound spiritual power of the Spirit Knight to create an Apostle was a strange and novel realm for her. She is now in high spirits and has a very valuable harvest.

The high-level knight has never been able to get rid of the limitations of chaos by using the Void Element, and no matter how many tricks he plays, the Void Element is still a Void Element, which can only bring destruction and restoration. The "Apostle" experiment opened a door for Sylvia, and the soul implantation of psychic power represented the creative properties of the Void element.

The most obvious change is that she was able to perceive subtle changes in the elements before, but the specific laws of reality corresponding to the changes in the elements are relatively hazy. Now, through elemental perception, Sylvia is able to detect an abnormality in the subject's soul state, and confirms the failure of the test in advance.

The laws of chaos are linked to the laws of reality, and dabbling in the mysteries of the soul is of extraordinary significance, and Sylvia will gain greater power and power than even the Golden Knight can imagine.

Yes, she's getting stronger, and that's just the beginning.

Victor is able to comprehend Sylvia's changes, but lacks an intuitive understanding of his Divine Knight's power system. He wants to help his beloved wife grasp more authority over the god knight, so he can only start from the field he is familiar with and make reasonable suggestions.

"My dear, I don't think it's necessary for you to add 'loyalty' to the core category of 'apostles'...... 'loyalty' is similar to the beliefs of the clergy, it is an extreme emotion, it does not correspond to a specific bloodline law, but it can cover all bloodline changes...... Such high-level emotions can trigger emotions such as anger, coldness, fanaticism, perseverance, etc., which should be cultivated through nurture, and the emotion of 'loyalty' should be gradually formed in the main personality. The characteristics of the 'Apostle' are that the medium triggers, mental focus, amplification of emotions, and then the promotion of bloodline changes, but the 'loyalty' emotion involves almost all emotions, once it is amplified by the 'Apostle' many times, it may conflict with the naturally formed intermediate bloodline talent, causing the bloodline to collapse. ”

Sylvia thought about it seriously, nodded, and said proudly: "My dear, you have a point, but I created the 'Apostle', and they have to listen to me. ”

As she spoke, she hugged Victor's arm and said in a coquettish tone: "I want to leave the 'Apostle' school to the guardians of the family, and the objects of the apostle's loyalty also include you and our descendants...... I don't care, you've got to help me figure it out. ”

Her golden hair swayed like the sun was coming to life, and her blue eyes were full of anticipation, admiration, and deep emotion, and Sylvia was so delicate that no one could ignore her plea.

Victor withdrew his arm and shook his head firmly, "I refuse." ”

Sylvia frowned, and I saw that the look of pity was like a rose longing for sunshine and rain, and pleaded softly and weakly, "You should think about it again." ”

Unmoved, Victor insisted on his opinion, and continued to shake his head and say, "Don't think about it. You have to listen to me about this. ”

Sylvia stomped her feet and feigned anger, but it still had no effect, and finally couldn't help but sneer, took her lover's hand, and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, but you have to give me a reason, right?"

Raising the "apostolic" school requires a huge amount of money and a lot of manpower and material resources. These resources are provided entirely by Mrs. Katerina, who is also unable to afford it. In fact, the funds for the secret fortress of the Red Frost Tree Manor come from the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, which is shared by the vassal families. If the Guardian spends the vassal lord's money and wants to monopolize the "apostle" school, it will be too ugly to eat.

Eggs cannot be placed in one basket.

Victor's original intention was to follow the distribution model of the swift bird and warbirds, and distribute different "apostle" schools to different families, so that they could share the costs, invest manpower and rare resources to further improve the "apostle" school, and maintain the inheritance.

In fact, the "Apostolic" school was not as important to Victor and Sylvia as they thought, and the process of creation was the precious accumulation that the two Highnesses longed for.

Victor's research on the middle-level psychic warrior was stuck in a bottleneck, so he wanted to use the natural laws of the Creator to realize the mid-level bloodline talent from the top down. If the "Apostle" experiment is successful, he can use the wind elemental insight to reverse the intermediate bloodline talent, improve the relevant secret methods, and achieve the goal of popularizing the intermediate psychic warrior.

This means that once the "Bloodthirsty Apostle" is completed, Victor will be able to promote forging in the copycat training camp and cultivate psychic warriors with bloodthirsty talents.

Of course, there is still a gap between this kind of psychic warrior and the apostle, because they do not have the spiritual talent that includes combat intuition.

Victor estimates the difference between the Soul Warrior and the Apostle of the School Inheritance, similar to the difference between the Blood Guardian and the Shadow Warrior. The combat effectiveness of the Blood Guardian is obviously not comparable to that of the Shadow Warriors, but the number of mid-level Psychic Warriors and the cost of cultivation have an absolute advantage.

That's what the army needs.

Sylvia understands her lover's thoughts, and she herself has ventured into new territory in the process of experimentation. You must know that it is extremely difficult for the Spirit Knight to make any slight progress, and the power he wields from it is also immense.

Victor explained lightly: "I emphasize the secretive school's family, seclusion, rituals, and precepts, which include instilling the concept of loyalty, without fear that they will betray the family. ”

The reason is simple, but Sylvia is a little angry. She was coquettish, weak, and threatening just now, and Victor didn't agree, and the reason given was too simple.

Silvia felt that she was being perfunctory, and she snorted coldly and said to Victor, "I don't want to pay attention to you...... I didn't say a word to you for three days. ”

Who said that a god knight can't be brutal and willful? Sylvia and Victor are becoming more and more like an ordinary couple, and they actually lose their temper...... Trisley secretly scolded herself, a little sour in her heart, and followed Sylvia out.

"Who allowed you to go? You just slandered my reputation, and now that Sylvia ignores me, you stay with me. ”

Victor's tall and well-proportioned figure blocked the way, looking at the dark golden eyes, Trisley panicked in her heart, and was just about to call Sylvia, the whole person was like a docile little lamb being held in Victor's arms.
