Leo's current Transfiguration is derived from the Expeditionor's Wizard's Notes, which mentions that Transfiguration originated from an incomplete ancient sorcery and was later restored by the Chief Wizard of the Tower, and was based on a dream spirit in the Dream World called the Abeba.

It's just that the Wizards Association soon discovered that this metamorphosis has many flaws, first of all, the metamorphosis can only change some details of the caster's facial features, and cannot change the entire body, just like it is impossible to become other objects like amoebae. The second is that the transfiguration is very simple to cast, and the most ordinary wizard apprentices can also perform it, but to maintain the transfiguration state, it is necessary to invest a lot of psionic energy or mana, and the input and output are seriously unbalanced, so some of the gains outweigh the losses.

Although this transfiguration was much worse than expected, after all, it had been restored by several generations of chief wizards, so the wizarding guild did not abandon it, but instead codified it into the list of mandatory witchcraft programs, and almost every member of the wizarding guild knew this sorcery.

Leo was initially unimpressed by this sorcery, and when he saw Sir Darwin leave the tent and plan to sneak into the tent, he was just going to use this transfiguration to change it, disguise himself as an officer, and blend into the tent.

However, when he was performing the Transfiguration, he had a whim to see if he could use the power of nightmares to imitate the transformation process recorded in his notes about the transformation process of the amoeba at the same time.

And the final result of this whim was somewhat unexpected, not only his facial features completely changed, but even his body completely changed according to his ideas. Through the perfect control skill, he easily figured out the condition of the body, and found that the overall shrinkage of the body was not the kind of musculoskeletal compression he expected, but completely changed into another body, even the bloodline was different, only the spiritual energy or soul did not change.

After the Nightmare Power completed the transformation process of the amoeba, Leo could only rely on psionic energy to maintain the changed form, and the consumption of psionic energy was far more than that of the Transfiguration alone, and such a huge psionic energy consumption was completely beyond Leo's expectations, and when he was examined outside the tent, he almost failed to successfully cast the suggestion technique.

In the process of using this transfiguration technique of psionic energy combined with the power of nightmares, Leo also discovered the potential of this transfiguration, such as transforming into some kind of higher creature. According to Leo's vision, the final form of this Transfiguration should be able to transform into some kind of high-level holy artifact while also possessing the innate abilities of that high-level being, just like the transcendent transformation in the way of the ancient druids that have vanished from Veron.

According to the legends recorded in some books, the transcendent transformation in the path of the ancient druids is said to be able to transform into a nature god through the medium given by some nature gods, and has the divine power of the nature gods, and in Leo's opinion, the final form of his current transformation should be similar to the transcendent transformation, or even more advanced.

It's just that these are just Leo's ideas, and if you want to further improve the Transfiguration, you first need to obtain a complete ancient Transfiguration, in addition to the living amoeba as the object of study, and you also need the medium of those high holy relics, and these conditions are very difficult for Leo to get any of them.

So, the idea of improving Transfiguration only flashed through Leo's mind for a moment, and he put it aside for the time being.

Leo found a slightly suitable place to sit down in the tree, hung a backpack with a large number of notes and books on a branch in front of him, and then took out a research notebook from it and looked through it carefully.

Leo read very quickly, and Sir Darwin himself was very careful not to record too much core content in his notes, most of which were experimental data written in ciphered symbols, and the rest were some ideas that came out of nowhere.

Although Leo could not read a lot, through the parts that he could read, coupled with the overheard conversations, he already had an idea of the research projects that Sir Darwin had been working on in the Reich Institute of France over the years.

Contrary to Leo's initial speculation when he first saw his dependents appear in the French Empire's army, the French Empire was not absorbed into its various departments after Louis X waited for him. As early as the reign of the first two emperors, the empire began to secretly recruit those who were hunted down by the Night's Watch and the Orthodox Church.

It's just that because of the suspicion of human beings and the influence of the power of the chaotic origin in the family, there are not many families who really defect to the French Empire, are willing to accept the constraints of the imperial laws and regulations, and become secret agents of the empire.

After decades of development, there are now more than 300 dependents in the imperial army, and less than 50 of these 300 people can perfectly hide the mutated organs of their families, and the remaining 200 people are like monsters, and they have to cover their faces when they go out, even in the military camp here.

When Louis X was still the Duke of Devon, he followed the advice of Rupert Fitz, who had not yet betrayed at that time, and tried his best to win over the family agents who were generally discriminated against by the imperial elites, and made some promises to these people. Afterwards, a series of events happened in the imperial capital, which proved that the matter of winning over the family was very correct, and at the same time, Louis X really saw how powerful the core members of the family were, so he thought of the matter of artificial family, and Sir Darwin was the best person to be in charge of this project.

Sir Darwin has not given up on his forbidden research over the years, and although he has not been able to obtain as much research material and funding as he has in the past, the continuous research experiments have kept his research project from regressing.

Therefore, when Sir Darwin took over the project and got the consent of Louis X, he did not hesitate to publish some of his own research results, and integrated the artificial family project into his own research on human evolution.

According to Sir Darwin's notes, the artificial family is simply to extract the original cells from the blood of the family through the method of making alien cells, and then implant them into the appropriate human body, so that they can complete the cell fusion and transform into the family.

Since similar experiments had been carried out before, it was not very difficult for Sir Darwin to repeat the operation now, and in just one year he had completed the initial experiments of the artificial family, and produced several successful experiments.

Later, with the support of the Empire, he made every effort to cultivate artificial dependents, which doubled the number of artificial dependents in the French Empire, and recorded a statistic at the end of last year in a notebook, in which the number of artificial dependents had more than 700 people, more than twice that of natural dependents.

These artificial clans performed extremely well in this military campaign of the French Empire, with great strength, extraordinary abilities, and an almost cold state of mind, in Leo's opinion, they are simply a group of transhuman soldiers of the Earth Federation.

It's just that this kind of artificial dependents also has great flaws, such as once the strength of the artificial dependents is fixed, it is impossible to have any growth, and the life span is much shorter than that of ordinary people, even if there is no disease or disaster, it is difficult to live past the age of forty.

The most important point is that these artificial dependents could not produce the mass required by Louis X, because the cultivation tank potion needed to cultivate these artificial dependents was very scarce, and it was only produced in the dangerous primeval forests of Moissan.

However, it is clear that Sir Darwin did not intend to continue his research on artificial families, he was only ready to use the core technology of artificial families as a bargaining chip in exchange for the research projects and funds he wanted from Louis X, such as the god-making project of the medical school.

Leo didn't know what the complete god-making plan of the medical school was for the time being, and the information he had just seen on the workbench in the tent that had been omitted from the evacuation of the medical school only mentioned part of the human body modification, and judging from the content of these materials, it was more like a deliberately left manual, in order to attract the interest and attention of people like Sir Darwin.

In those sources, the Faculty of Medicine mentions that a relatively mature transformation program has been separated from the god-making project, allowing the human body to acquire the power of the organ itself by implanting xenomorphic organs with different powers into the human body.

This method reminded Leo of the Earth Federation's transhumans, both of which were implanted with xenogeneous organs, and both gained great power from their organs. It's just that in the Earth Federation, transforming people is already quite a mature technology, but even so, the success rate of transformation is not very high, only thirty percent of the success rate, and all others will have rejection without exception. In the era of the steam industry like the world of Velon, even if there is a force such as witchcraft to escort the transformation, the success rate may not be very high.

This also made Leo think of the mysterious wizard who helped the old man Rembrandt make a life-sustaining machine and prepare potions, and his method of combining the human body and the steam machine should be very suitable for this method of human body modification, and maybe he also participated in the god-making project of the medical school.

However, to Leo's regret, there is no mention of the Plague Ring in these remnants, but in some incomplete meeting records, it is mentioned that the medical school is preparing to implement a plan in Miria City, and does not specify what the plan is, but only marks a danger level and a retreat plan.

According to Leo's criteria for dividing the danger level of the medical school, this danger level represents the danger of the Great Plague, but this does not serve as substantial evidence that the Medical School holds the Ring of Plague and is preparing to arrange the Great Plague in Miria City.

Just as Leo was looking through these notes, a burst of sirens suddenly sounded in the camp not far away, followed by a large number of soldiers began to make up the guards inside and outside the camp, and also sent a team of patrols to conduct a detailed search of the surrounding woods.

There was little need to guess, judging from the large tent that was tightly guarded inside and out, Leo knew very well that what he was doing was afraid of being discovered, and that was exactly what he wanted.

Leo ignored the patrolling soldiers who searched the surrounding woods, and under the clever camouflage of a combination of witchcraft and tactical concealment, even if the search party member looked up under the tree, he was afraid that he could not see Leo sitting in the tree.

Sure enough, a group of patrol soldiers walked under the tree where Leo was, and several soldiers who walked by looked up several times to make sure, but they couldn't see Leo sitting in the tree.

At this moment, several more groups of soldiers drove out of the barracks not far away and entered the pit camp directly to support the defenders in the camp.

As the saying goes, the pit camp has become fully staffed after the soldiers who support it joined, but the military camp on the other side has to send heavy troops to guard the railway station and the railways along the way, so the defense in the barracks is overstretched, not only the outer defense circle has some more loopholes, but even the patrol route inside the barracks has some problems.

However, Leo did not leave immediately and went to the military camp not far away, but continued to wait for a while.

Things went as he expected, only to see another group of soldiers sent out from the barracks, and this group of soldiers did not join the defense of the pit barracks, but went directly to the entrance of the mine, and set up a small outpost at the entrance of the mine, so as to reduce the possibility of others infiltrating.

The reassignment of manpower has made the defense on the side of the barracks more porous, and for ordinary people, that kind of defense is still a little deterrent, but for Leo, this kind of defense is almost the same as nothing.

Because after all, he had memorized all the contents of the book, and the book itself had lost its usefulness, so when Leo left, he did not take the backpack where the notes were stored, and at the same time, he did not fall under the tree, but quickly jumped back and forth on the dense branches, like a dexterous panther moving silently outside the barracks.

Compared to the fact that all the tents in the pit camp are mixed with materials that interfere with psionic energy, the barracks are obviously not half a star, and all the tents are the most ordinary and cheap canvas. The real elite of the barracks had been sent to the railway station and the mine barracks not far away, and the rest were all inexperienced recruits.

Leo didn't even use witchcraft at all, he sneaked directly into the barracks warehouse, changed into an officer uniform of the French Empire, and then walked directly towards the commander's tent of the barracks.

Although, various clues and intelligence gathered from now show that the officers of the French Empire who had colluded with the medical school to traffic in human beings were the logistics officers of this barracks, the commander of the barracks did not know about these things.

But in Leo's opinion, this claim was completely untenable, and while he wasn't sure how deep the commander's plans were to get into medical school, he was sure that the commander should have some useful information.

Leo came to the training ground not far from the main tent, and while pretending to watch the training of recruits in the training ground, he used the spirit net to check the situation in the tent, and the information from the spirit net made him feel a little surprised, because he saw a person who should not be here.
