Lynn and others followed Coleman through the long cobblestone road and entered the castle of the manor.
The interior of the manor is heavily guarded, and even at night, you can still see several patrols.
Once you step into the castle, you will see a magnificent scene - magnificent dome chandeliers, giant sculptures and decorations, various works of art hanging on the walls, and even the carpets are made of expensive Warcraft fur. You can feel the soft and comfortable touch just by stepping on them.
Coleman did not stop and led everyone directly to the depths of the castle. A faint smell of blood immediately hit their noses. Lynn turned his head to look at the wizard apprentices beside him. They did not react at all and were obviously used to it.
After entering the basement, Coleman began to assign today's tasks to each apprentice, then looked at Lynn and the others and spoke.
"Bock, Patty, and Timis, you will be in charge of Lab 7 from now on."
Hearing this, the other apprentices breathed a sigh of relief, and some of them showed gloating expressions on their faces. Since Bock and others had taken on this dangerous task, they could be relatively relaxed.
"Lord Coleman..." Bock panicked and wanted to beg for mercy. The prisoners in Laboratory No. 7 were all defective products that had lost their minds, and the goal of the experiment was to try out the rejection reactions between different shaping potions.
The danger can be imagined.
But under Coleman's cold gaze, Bock was forced to swallow the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"The experiments arranged by Lord Ladakh must be completed by someone. Otherwise, you can ask who is willing to replace you?" Coleman said playfully.
Bock's face turned pale. He knew very well that no one here would be kind enough to take on a dangerous mission. In the end, he could only look at Lynn with resentment. If it weren't for the conversation at the door just now, Coleman would not have noticed them.
Lynn remained silent throughout the whole process, because the information he learned from Timis was very limited, and he had no idea how dangerous this so-called experiment could be, and how it could make the apprentices so frightened.
Under Coleman's forced arrangement, Lynn, Bok and Patty entered a compartment in the castle.
Compared with the narrow and enclosed environment outside, the space inside the laboratory is very large, filled with a strong smell of blood and various foul smells of potions. The cabinets on the side are filled with transparent jars, each of which contains a strange creature. Their heads have been cut open and coated with a thick layer of gelatinous liquid, making them look particularly creepy.
The most eye-catching thing is the operating table, which looks more like a hideous torture instrument. On it are placed daggers, tweezers, scissors, needles and thread for suturing, and several rusty chains used to bind hands and feet.
After Bock and Patty entered the room, they kept staring at several sealed iron coffins in the corner.
After hesitating for a long time, Bock gritted his teeth and stepped forward to open the iron coffin...
Chapter 93 Magic Laboratory No. 7
As the lid of the iron coffin slowly slid open, a pungent smell rushed towards him, and inside was a man with a strange figure.
He was lying naked, his skin was shriveled and black, his lips were pale and cracked, his arms were deformed and bent as if they were broken by something, his body was covered with various scars, but he was not dead. His eyes were closed and his breathing was steady. His chest was rising and falling weakly, as if he was sleeping.
"Come and help! He won't wake up in a short time..." Bock said in disgust, pinching his nose.
Lin En was not afraid. He pulled up his sleeves, put a layer of water film on his palms, helped Bock move the experimental subject to the stage, and then tied up the other's limbs and neck with iron chains.
"I'll do the operation and you'll be responsible for recording!" Bock took over the leadership naturally, threw the experiment record book on the table to Lynn, and then ordered Patty to bring the potion over.
Lin En, who had not yet figured out the experimental process, was happy to do some assisting work. He immediately picked up the experimental record book and started to look through it.
[Magical calendar year 726, June 09, experimental target: Subject , preliminary examination showed kidney necrosis, stomach atrophy...weak vital signs, and a strong reaction after drinking the Fire Lizard potion...
Experimental target: Subject 011, a defective product of the Shaping Troll Potion, with strong vital signs... After being injected with the Griffin Potion, his right arm swelled abnormally and burst...
Experimental target: Subject 015... drank the Asian dragon potion... lost control (causing the death of four guards and two wizard apprentices)...】
……
Lynn quickly flipped through the pages of the experiment record book. The records on it were shocking. A total of seventeen experiments on the fusion of shaping potions had all failed.
There are generally three possible outcomes for experimental subjects: sudden death due to severe rejection reaction, death during surgery due to weak vital signs, or... gaining more powerful power in a short period of time!
The last type is extremely prone to accidents, resulting in three casualties in total, which is why there are so many restraints and chains on the experimental table specifically used to restrain the experimental subjects.
The one in front of him should be Subject No. 18, who had drunk a potion made from the blood of a poisonous fog snake demon. Something went wrong during the fusion process, and he went crazy and lost his mind. Therefore, he could only be used as waste and as material for the fusion experiments between shaping potions.
In other words, the key to this potion is to allow humans to gain powers similar to those of Warcraft...
Lin En realized this immediately, so what Nur drank before must be the Shaping Troll Potion, which is why he has such a strong recovery ability.
"What are you thinking about, Timis?" Bock had already picked up the dagger and put on an old alchemical eyepiece. Seeing that Lin En was still looking through the previous experimental records, he couldn't help but scold him.
At this moment, the experimental subject, whose limbs and neck were bound by iron chains, suddenly opened his eyes. His red pupils revealed a strong murderous aura, and low roars came from his throat from time to time. He struggled and wanted to pounce, but because his limbs were tightly locked by iron restraints and iron chains, he could not break free.
Bock swallowed his saliva, his wrist trembling slightly. He waited for more than ten minutes, until the other party was a little tired. Then he gritted his teeth and used the candle beside him to disinfect the dagger and cut open the chest of Subject No. 18.
At the same time, a golden bracelet on his left hand glowed slightly, and the blood that had been gushing out of the wound quickly clotted...
"The heart's blood supply function is normal. The degree of cellular magic energy infection is about 70%, which is higher than before. The liver and kidneys are abnormal and obviously swollen. Is there poison gas inside? It may be the influence of the poisonous fog snake demon potion..."
Bock's face was full of tension, but he still had basic qualities. He barely ignored the subject's constant struggle and used the alchemical eyepiece to observe the subject's condition.
Lin En also put on a special one-sided alchemical eyepiece and found that this thing was very similar to a microscope, but the magnification was very low, only about seventy times, and it could barely see the general structure of some cells.
After getting used to it for a while, Lin En picked up the feather pen beside him and began to write down the data of various organs of Subject No. 18.
Naturally, he would not forget such an important flaw in the handwriting. He had already recorded it with his intelligent brain. If he wrote slowly, it should not be a problem to imitate 80% to 90% of it.
After confirming that the other party was in good condition, Bock took the troll potion handed over by Patty, grabbed the subject's head by force, and drank half of it directly.
Just half a minute after taking the medicine, the subject fell into frenzy. His body swelled up, tightening the chains. He struggled and twisted his body so hard that even the heavy laboratory table vibrated slightly. His previous injuries were recovering at an extremely fast speed.
Bock hesitated and didn't want to go forward, but he didn't dare to miss this good opportunity to collect data, so he had to bite the bullet and take action.
However, Subject 18 did something that no one had expected. He actually tore off his right wrist and broke free from some of the restraints...
Bock was startled immediately, and before he could react, he was knocked away by the forelimb that was as thick as his thigh and oozing with green blood...
Patty was so frightened that she couldn't help but scream.
Bock hit his head against the wall behind him and stood up while enduring the pain. The first thing he did was to press the alarm and call the guards over.
But before he could act, a sharp steel sword slid along the gap between the ulna and radius of the forearm and nailed the subject's waving right arm to the experimental table!
Then Lin En methodically tied up the eighteen experimental subjects with iron chains. After struggling for a while, the bodies of the experimental subjects shrank rapidly, and under the severe rejection reaction, they soon lost their voices.
Both Bock and Patty breathed a sigh of relief.
Not until Lynn confirmed that the defective specimen was dead did Bock dare to step forward again to complete the autopsy work that he had previously failed to complete. His back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Just like Noor, after the death of the experimental subject, the flesh and blood in his body became shriveled and lifeless, like foam that would break with a pinch, and his organs also rapidly failed.
Lynn recorded all the details he observed, and then together with Bock and Patty threw the dead experimental subject back into the iron coffin.
Bock looked at the remaining iron coffins and couldn't help feeling a little scared. He looked at the two and said, "Take turns. It's your turn this time, Patty and Timis!"
The witch shook her head frantically and didn't dare to get close at all.
“Then let me do it!” Lin En went forward alone and opened the second coffin. He had watched it for a while and had memorized the process, so there shouldn’t be any mistakes.
Chapter 94: The rioting test subjects
With Lynn taking the lead, Bock and Patty tried their best to suppress the fear in their hearts. They quickly moved the second test subject to the experimental table and increased the number of iron chains.
Lin En glanced at the instruments at hand with disdain. There was not even a decent scalpel, so he could only helplessly choose a sharp knife to sterilize it with flame.
Witch Patty took over Lynn's job. After seeing the overall plan in the notebook, she couldn't help but look surprised. The records were very clear. After the experimental subjects took the potion, the changes in various organs of the body in every time period were recorded in great detail, and could be accurate to the second.
But Timis shouldn't have had time to look at the magic hourglass just now, so this isn't just random data, is it?
While Patty was hesitating, Lynn had already picked up a sharp knife and started dissecting the body.
Bock was in charge of stopping the bleeding and assisting, but he was worried that Lynn would mess things up. It was not an easy task to dissect a living, defective body. These crazy and irrational monsters not only brought psychological pressure, but their constant attempts to break free also made the dissection very difficult.
However, Lin En's knife was steadier than he thought, and the experimental subject in front of him who was screaming non-stop seemed to not exist at all.
Facing these monsters, is it really true that he has no fear?
Bock was full of confusion. What made him even more upset was that since Lynn took over, there had been no more accidents and the dissection process had gone very smoothly. After taking the potion, the experimental subject died before even making it through the initial fusion stage.
The previous riot of the first experimental subject seemed to be just an accident, which made Bock somewhat indignant. If he had known earlier, he should have let the other party take over from the beginning.
Lynn had no idea what Bock was thinking, nor did he have time to care. He had devoted himself to the experiment wholeheartedly. He didn't even implement the so-called rotation system and directly took over the dissection work of the remaining experimental subjects.
Faced with these experimental subjects who had long lost their minds and been transformed into monsters, Lin En did not have much mercy. The right thing to do was to send them to death as soon as possible.
When the fourth test subject fell on the experimental table due to an immune reaction, Lin En finally got some results. These shaping potions must have been added with some unknown magical materials, which made the liquid easily absorbed by the human body's digestive tract and quickly reached the heart through the blood circulation, so it took effect so quickly.
Because of this, the heart will be the first organ to be infected and transformed by magic power, and finally the blood full of energy will be transported to various parts of the body for further transformation...
What made Lin En a little bit strange was that since the rejection reaction was so serious, why didn't he just use his own magic power to transform it...
Then Lin En reacted instantly...Isn't that the content of the body shaping subject?
I heard that the wizards of this school have extremely strong melee capabilities, and the best of them can even transform themselves into some powerful monsters.
It should be said that this potion was originally developed based on the theory of plasticity. So, does the so-called perfect product allow the person who takes the potion to have power comparable to that of a formal plasticity wizard?
No, it's an external force after all, so there should be some difference...
Lin En thought to himself and quickly began to dissect the fifth experimental subject. This subject looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and his body was not as strong as the previous ones. Instead, he looked a little thin.
What surprised him the most was that the level of magic power in this experimental subject was very low, only about 30%.
"Subject No. 22, have you ever drunk the Fire Lizard Potion before? Unfortunately it didn't have much effect, so it became discarded..." Lynn took the experimental log and looked at it. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly said to Patty.
"Patty, bring me a bottle of Fire Lion potion!"
"Timis, what are you going to do?" Bock asked with a frown.
"We have made some discoveries, and we are going to try a different potion," Lynn explained casually.
In previous experiments, they used troll potions.
Because an apprentice had previously discovered that trolls are creatures with very strong recovery abilities, the magic cells transformed from them are very active, and they focus on strengthening their bodies. Relatively speaking, the conflict with other potions is not that strong, and in theory, they are most likely to merge with other transformed potions.
But Lin En didn't think so. Precisely because the modified product of the troll potion was very active, it might have aggravated the magic rejection reaction. Nur, who had only taken this kind of potion, was in a state of condition after death, which was enough to prove this.
Bock was very dissatisfied with Lin's risky behavior. If something went wrong, wouldn't the three of them be in trouble?
Lin En naturally ignored Bock's opinion. He didn't come here to do research, but to attract the attention of the [Black Doctor] Ladak. If he came here according to the procedures, how long would it take...
Under someone's repeated urging, Patty hesitated for a while and finally took the Fire Lion Potion as instructed.
Lin En took it and drank the whole bottle, which made Bock shudder with fear...
Under such violent drug injection, the fifth experimental subject reacted after just a dozen seconds. His body kept shaking and his skin turned red in a short period of time.
"It has improved. The degree of magical infection in the cells has actually increased..." Bock saw a shocking scene through the alchemical eyepiece. The power brought by the Fire Lion Potion was rapidly infecting the entire body of the experimental subject, and even swallowed up the remaining power of the Fire Lizard Potion.
Sure enough...Lin En was not surprised by this. He had already discovered in previous experiments that the powers brought by different shaping potions not only repel each other, but also have the possibility of devouring each other. The two creatures he chose both have similar fire control abilities.
