The secluded place Angus had found for Levi was an abandoned farmstead outside the town, right next to the wall, near the town's southern gate. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he was very dissatisfied with Levi's "lack of business", this knight gentleman was still very conscientious and would not bring that little emotion to work.

This is also the reason why Levi takes a special interest in him.

As usual, Levi was very pleased with the arrangement. On the afternoon of the day they arrived at the farm, they were asked to set up an experimental site. Early the next morning, he took the initiative to lead the team to do a big thing - catching lizards!

In order to accomplish this goal, Levi also specially met with the adventurers again at the castle, and asked them to explain the characteristics of the dragon-changing lizard in detail. I also made a sketch by myself. Anyone who has seen this sketch is not surprised.

"It's just like the real thing!"

After collecting information, Levi took the initiative to lead a team of people to catch this lizard the size of a person's forearm in the artemisia grass and bushes around the farm.

This spotted lizard is also a very common creature in the vicinity of Limestone, named for its withered yellow skin with many black spots. This is a camouflage color that resembles a tiger's fur, allowing them to move through the grass without being detected by enemies or prey.

After capturing about a dozen spotted lizards, Levi further refined the experimental grounds. Previously, a square fence of more than ten square meters was built with a whole plank, and the artemisia grass and shrubs familiar to the spotted lizard were transplanted one after another, and even the stones for their sunbathing were prepared.

This is to simulate their survival environment in order to minimize the distractions of the experiment.

You know, animals behave in captivity is completely different from how they behave in their natural environment. For the purpose of controlling the variables, Levi had to take this rather cumbersome measure.

After placing a dozen lizards in the sealed fence around him, Levi waited for four or five days. It wasn't until the caretakers said that the lizards were starting to feed and burrow normally, and that they were getting used to the new environment, before he began the next step.

Levi put the black-headed white python in a cage into the enclosure of three lizards as an experimental group.

The location of the snake cage, close to the normal feeding ground. This is where Levi had the grasshoppers to be released, and after five or six days of running-in, the lizards had become accustomed to feeding here.

In addition, he set up two control groups.

There were also three lizards that were put into the snake cage like a fence, but not near the feeding ground.

The three enclosures of the last group were not put into the snake cages at all.

Five days later, the results were in.

The three snake cages were close to the feeding ground, and there was basically no feeding behavior in the past five days.

There are snake cages, but the snake cages are not close to the three spotted lizards that feed on the feeding grounds, and their feeding has been greatly reduced during these three days. But on the last day, one lizard recovered a lot more than he fed. I'm afraid I also understand that the snake cage is not a threat to me.

The daily behavior of the two groups of six lizards was affected, which was manifested in the reduction of daylight hours and the reduction of fence exploration behavior.

Compared to them, the three lizards that did not fit into the snake cage had significantly more sunlight hours, fed more and were more active in the enclosure. It seems that it has further adapted to the current environment.

The success of the first step of the experiment gave Levi great encouragement, which meant that it was entirely possible that the phenomenon he had discovered on the city walls was real.

The spotted lizard is indeed terrified of predators such as the black-headed white python. Even if the other party is locked in a snake cage, it can still affect their daily behavior.

After the success of this step, the next step was the key to Levi's operation, the element separation experiment.

At this time, it had been a full ten days since Levi crossed over.

During these ten days, another incident intensified.

"What do you say, Winterdragon City asked me to hand over the command of the army and want to take over here?" Levi, who was enjoying refreshments in the open space in the farmstead, was taken aback, and he looked at Angus speechlessly, "and said that only I did this to let me bring my family property into the city." ”

"You're not quite right, they also reserve your right to enjoy the Personal Guard. It's just that the number of guards cannot exceed thirty people. And the weapons you bought with the taxes you bought in Limestone, all of them have to be kept. Although Angus was expressionless on the surface, he was actually a little nervous in his heart, "These guys are too much, your title is so good that they dare to make such an excessive request!"

When Levi heard this, he became even more indignant.

"That's right, I'm still a duke, he's a count. And it stands to reason that the entire Limestone Hills and the Camosi Heath, including his Golden Corridor, are my territory. Without the permission of the kingdom, these guys took the liberty of cultivating wasteland over there. I haven't settled accounts with them yet, but they have targeted me first, and they are so deceitful!"

But Levi quickly reacted, and he looked at Angus in surprise, "But their request is outrageous and inexplicable? Let me do this, basically make me give up Limestone Town." There is a clause in the Iron Law of Edo that can be devoted to this, to the effect that if a lord abdicates the responsibility of defending the territory, he will give up his title. In other words, if I did do it, and it was revealed, the Council of Nobles could use it to strip me of my title. This discerning person can see that they clearly want to fix me. It's so obvious, are they stupid, or am I stupid?"

During this time, Levi made up a lot of knowledge about this world.

"Maybe in their eyes, you are not smart enough, at least stupider than the average normal person. Angus couldn't help but say jokingly, but his voice grew smaller and quieter as he looked at Levi's increasingly frosty face.

The knight was also a little surprised that Li Wei could analyze so many things.

"And what are you going to do, my lord?"

Naturally, he refused. Levi stared at his henchman like an idiot, "You still have to ask this, how could I do such a thing......

"But I feel like you should not refuse so simply. Maybe you will regret it in the future, and there will be a reversal. Angus heard Levi's words, although he was a little comforted, but in a serious and responsible attitude, he still kindly reminded, "They dare to do it so obviously, naturally they have something to rely on." And what they rely on is, of course, the kingdom of the lizardmen. This time, I escorted the Bad Dragon Warlock there. So, I finally know something. Anyway, after getting our news, they sent two wings of Hippogriff Knights and half a company of Griffin Knights that day, and divided into a dozen teams to contact other towns, and even several tribes of the Minotaurs. Then at noon the next day, they met me and asked me to relay this suggestion to you. It's funny that they only told me that the situation was serious and asked me to relay these words to you. The specific information, which did not say a word, made this reply simply intimidating. ”

"Why did they do this, did I offend them?" Levi looked innocent, "If you really want to do what they say, I am basically bidding farewell to my aristocratic status." ”

"That's ...... you don't know much about the situation here"
