Early the next morning, Shado summoned Ava to prepare a batch of cattle and sheep on the estate, and he himself, after briefly planning the progress of the next test, quickly got to work.

The Underground Drow War has gradually stabilized after the opening of the second battlefield of Amalinda, and the two sides have developed into a tug-of-war and a war of attrition.

Drow priests and mages have rarely appeared on frontal battlefields to avoid being targeted by the Alliance, and the demon army that lacks command is much easier to deal with than before.

It's just that now the feud between the two sides has developed to the point where it is difficult to resolve, and on top of the old grudge between Drow and the elves, a new feud with the dwarves has been added.

And for humans who have never encountered the Drow War, there is a somewhat kind of mentality of watching the fire from the other side, in addition to the materials that should be given within the alliance, it is some adventurers who volunteer to join the battlefield.

During this period of time, in addition to the busyness at the beginning of the Alliance's establishment, the current Austrian Federation has gradually returned to its previous leisurely state.

Chado was in the middle of it, and he could feel the state of the staff of the Arcane Federation very intuitively, and of course, more intuitively, Iorham had more free time.

He even learned to accumulate official duties over a period of time and dispose of them all at once to free up more time for experiments.

Towards noon, the two had just finished a morning of testing, and Xia Duo was about to leave the laboratory for lunch as usual, but was called down by Eolem:

"I'll have the chef prepare your lunch too, so let's solve it here, and I'm going to tell you about the next schedule."

"Teacher, you're too anxious!"

That being said, Chateau stayed, only to be surprised again when he showed his schedule to Iolem:

"You are much more organized and forward-looking than Broad, and if you had joined this research earlier, perhaps the practical Arcane device would have been successful a long time ago!"

"Teacher, don't forget the David strings, if it weren't for the David strings, the project might have been shelved a long time ago."

"No, the Davy String is just a necessary material for the physical route of the Independent Arcane Fire Device, and if it is made with the real Magic Net String, then there is no need for it."

In this regard, Xia Duo shook his head, theoretically using the real magic net string to make it is indeed the most rational plan, but the arcane fire made in that way cannot exist independently, as long as this problem cannot be solved, then this ideal plan can never be implemented.

Iolem may have chosen the physical installation route because the ideal solution was too difficult to achieve.

Although the research ideas and experience brought by Xia Duo from his hometown can accelerate the current research, it is impossible to conjure inspiration out of thin air.

In fact, without Davy's strings and Inocen's energy channeling crystal, he might not even be able to think of any feasible plan for the independent arcane fire device, let alone participate in the design and research.

Chado has always thought of himself as a middle-of-the-roader, and he is self-aware of that, but as long as he is simply scientific – or "magical" in this world – methodology, he can always move in the right direction.

At most, it's just a matter of being faster and slower, which is why he has such a strong desire for a stable environment.

Of course, judging from the actual situation at this stage, he has in fact reached the forefront of the magic realm of Nessrell and even the Northlands.

This made him even more reluctant to see chaos arise.

……

After lunch, the two continued a series of tests of the new plan of the Arcane Fire, and it was not until late at night that Xia Duo had time to return to the Azure Manor and continue the [Soul Talisman] test that he had not completed yesterday.

"My lord, according to your instructions, a total of four sheep, four sheep, and a number of chickens and ducks have been prepared."

"Very well, call two people over and help."

With that, Chadorf walked towards a makeshift fence on the west side of the manor, near the outer woods, where the samples he needed for the experiment were temporarily stored.

In a few moments, Ava brought two sturdy manor servants, "What do you need to do, my lord?" ”

"Pull a sheep out first, and put a few chickens and ducks next to it."

So saying, Xia Duo cast a spell and drew a glowing circle on the grass next to the fence, and the two manor servants, one of whom skillfully tied a sheep with a lasso, and carried it into the pen.

The other person carried a rattan chicken coop and grabbed a few chickens and ducks and stuffed them into them, and put them in the circle drawn by Xia Duo.

Perhaps sensing the breath of death, the animals in both the enclosure and the experimental area began to scream desperately, and the chaotic and noisy sounds were particularly harsh in the quiet of the night.

Xia Duo didn't care about this, he wanted other people's lives, why didn't he allow people to shout twice?

It's just that no matter how poignant and miserable the cry is, it can't change the reality, let alone change Xia Duo's mind, and he told Ava and the others to stand back, while he himself walked into the circle of light and put the experimental [Soul Talisman] on the sheep's neck.

There is a difference between the sheep body and the human body, Xia Duo doesn't know much about the transformation system spell, but as far as he knows, it is enough for him to tune in with the [Soul Talisman] for this experimental sheep.

When everything was ready, Xia Duo withdrew from the circle and controlled the flying sword from a distance to pierce the sample's head, and then he silently counted for a few seconds, and the soul talisman suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Immediately afterward, the chickens and ducks around the specimen, who were still screaming desperately, instantly lost their voices.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo couldn't help frowning, the soul talisman did play its due effect - collecting souls, but the effect of the soul control technique seemed to be too good, and the souls of the surrounding chickens and ducks were also plundered.

If this is applied to people, it may be like a dead one.

Of course, this may also be due to the fact that the souls of chickens and ducks are too weak, making them more susceptible to the influence of soul magic, but Xia Duo is not so mad as to test it with a living person.

As long as the problem of the soul of chickens and ducks being affected is solved, there should be no problem for humans, just like using mice to do toxicology tests on the earth, as long as the mice are fine, there is a high probability that there will be no problems for humans.

……

After retrieving the Soul Amulet, Shado explained that Ava's dead experiment could be used to feed the Manor staff, and then returned to the Arcane Federation.

The soul talisman he originally wanted to test tonight had the effect of collecting souls, but he hadn't taken it to heart, after all, the target of the soul talisman was an individual in the same tune as the soul talisman, not a certain range.

The reason why the chicken and duck were prepared was only out of rigorous considerations, and now it seems that the preparation is indeed right.

Of course, this also added a lot of trouble to his next improvements, but for the safety of the soul talisman, these are indeed indispensable.
