Under normal circumstances, it takes at least two to four months to cultivate a clone to mature.
However, Zuo Si obtained a technology from Irenikas that can mature clones more quickly. Although the magic energy and materials consumed will be doubled, it can save precious time.
In addition, he had asked the Mind Flayer to make a series of preparations several days in advance, so just two days after exiting the virtual space that recreated Waterdeep City, the first batch of thirty professionals connected to the virtual space specially designed for
Its prepared body.
Since the growth of clones needs to be completely immersed in a special alchemical solution, the first thing these people do when they climb out of the jar is to lie on the ground and vomit, draining the liquid from their lungs, nasal cavity, mouth, esophagus and stomach.
It all spurted out, accompanied by violent coughing.
After the uncomfortable physiological reaction ended, they were surprised to find that they had left the virtual world and reappeared in the real world.
The most important thing is that everyone is very young.
It is not difficult to tell from the appearance reflected on the surface of the glass jar that his physical age is no more than twenty years old, and his basic attributes are excellent.
Whether it is strength, neurological reactions, physique, or brain thinking speed, they all far exceed the top level of humans on earth.
The only problem is that the ears seem to be a bit pointed, and the skin color is slightly dark, and there is a vague structure that looks like thin scales under the skin.
In addition, your vision has become extremely sensitive, and you can see clearly even if the surrounding light is very dim.
One of the system architects fell down accidentally, and his arm was cut deeply by a piece of broken glass that fell to the ground. As a result, it healed itself in just a few seconds.
All of this proves that these bodies created with magical cloning technology are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

"It's unbelievable! Human cloning, genetic modification, remote transmission of souls and consciousness...these things that cannot be done with technology in the real world are actually easily accomplished by a magical world whose productivity is at the level of the Middle Ages to the Renaissance."
Dr. White murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
As a genius in biology, viruses, bacteria and genetic engineering, he understands better than anyone how difficult it is to clone a living person.
Not to mention the splicing and fusion of genes from different organisms to form a complete and coordinated organism.
In fact, it is different from the common people who believe that half of their genes come from their father and half from their mother.
In a real human body, less than half of the cells belong to oneself, accounting for about 43%.
The remaining 57% is made up of non-human cells, including bacteria, viruses, fungi and a series of microorganisms that cannot be seen with the naked eye.
In particular, intestinal flora can even control a person's brain and eating habits to a certain extent.
Fortunately!
Just when everyone was at a loss, a mind flayer appeared at the entrance of the clone cultivation chamber.
The alien-like appearance and the octopus-like tentacles instantly scared these "Muggles" back.
Although they have read a lot of books about the magical world in the past few days, they also know about mind flayers, monsters that feed on the brains of intelligent creatures.
But it’s one thing to have seen it in books, and it’s another thing to actually meet it.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here to take you to take a shower, change clothes, and eat."
Through telepathy, the Mind Flayer made his intention known to these first batch of experimental participants of the Fourth Natural Disaster Plan.
Instantly!
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
Dr. White hurriedly asked: "Where is Soth? Isn't he here?"
The Mind Flayer answered without thinking: "The master is busy with more important things right now, and he will make time to meet with you later."
"More important things?" Dr. White showed a curious expression on his face.
But unfortunately, the Mind Flayer obviously didn't intend to reveal too much. He just said "Follow me" and walked straight outside.
A group of thirty people followed them through the corridor and soon arrived at a huge public bath.
Since they had already been made quite uncomfortable by the thick alchemical solution on their bodies, they didn't have time to think too much and rushed under the nozzle to rinse with water and apply soap and shampoo.
After cleaning up their personal hygiene, everyone quickly went to a place like a public canteen or restaurant to eat.
Although the food looked very simple and the cooking techniques were rough, which could not be compared with the food in the virtual fantasy world of Waterdeep, everyone ate happily.
Because they know that this is not a virtual world, but a real world.
Finally, I am no longer the remaining soul after death, but a living person with a body and various physiological needs.
In particular, various desires have begun to respond to the stimulation of hormones.
Yes!
Alive!
This is why thirty elites from various industries were willing to sign the soul-selling contract.
You must know that the biggest reason why the soul after death quickly forgets the memories of life is that after death and losing the body, the consciousness can no longer feel the pleasure, tension, excitement, anger and other emotions brought by hormones. Over time,
Nature will inevitably become numb, and eventually gradually lose oneself and die completely in a spiritual sense.
Only by obtaining a new body and allowing their souls and consciousness to continuously feel the stimulation of hormones can they truly feel that they are still alive and still have the joys, sorrows, joys and desires of being a "human being".
While a group of experts and scholars were eating, Zuo Si had successfully used the power of [Mythra's Core] to open a permanent portal connecting to Faerun at the lowest level of the central tower of the floating city.
This portal is so big, more than thirty meters high, and an astonishing forty meters wide.
Of course, if there is just a portal, it is obviously not enough for the magic network from the other side to cover the entire floating city.
So Zuo Si did not hesitate to use the silver fire given to the electorate by the goddess of magic.
I saw him opening his arms to continuously absorb energy, weaving the silver fire into a huge light curtain, and constantly expanding outward until the floating city was completely wrapped from top to bottom, left to right.
Seeing this scene, Tyrantir, who had been staying in the floating city, couldn't help but open his mouth slightly and asked in an unbelievable tone: "You... you have weaved a large magic network within the floating city?"
"No, it's not weaving. I just extended the magic network from the portal to this world. If the portal is closed one day, this part of the magic network will also disappear." Zuo Si took back the silver fire and explained meaningfully.
Just when Tyrantir was about to say something, he suddenly saw a beautiful female figure with long black hair walking out of the newly formed magic net.
Magic Goddess Midnight!
The archmage who had transformed into a lich recognized the person almost instantly, and hurriedly bent down and bowed deeply to express his respect.
Not only him, but several other lichs who stayed here also had the same reaction.
After all, no arcane spellcaster dares to offend the goddess of magic easily, otherwise once they are forced to "cut off the Internet", it will be even more uncomfortable than death.
In addition, since the goddess of magic herself is the embodiment of the magic net, she will be aware of the special situation where the magic net directly extends to another material plane at the first time.
However, Midnight obviously didn't care about Tyrantir. Instead, he observed the Floating City of Plantia with great interest, and then asked in a slightly surprised tone: "Is this the last world you passed by?"
Zuo Si nodded slightly: "That's right. Although it is very different from the floating city in the Netheril era, the magical civilization here has indeed developed to a very high level. It's a pity that some unexpected situations happened later, which resulted in
Basically all the main mages of its civilization are dead."
"Is it a magical plague?"
Midnight continued to ask in an uncertain tone.
Although she had long heard the stories about the "Sons of the Plague" promoted by the Talona Church, she didn't know how much of it was true and how much was an exaggeration.
"Well, it was the bacteria and viruses from another world in my body that mutated and killed more than 99% of the population in just a few months. At the beginning, I was unconscious
It's my own problem until everyone around me is dead, but I'm still alive." Zuo Si explained expressionlessly.
"That's it! You carry a plague in your body that can destroy a world, so Talona will desperately want to get you and make you her chosen one no matter what."
A thoughtful look appeared on Midnight's face.
As she became the goddess of magic for longer and longer, she began to feel the influence of the priesthood on her thinking, personality and behavior, and she suddenly understood the thoughts of the goddess of poison and disease.
To be precise, when Zuo Si passed through the portal, no other mortal in Faerûn could be found who was so suitable to become Talona's chosen one.
Zuo Si spread his hands helplessly: "I can't help it. I was just pushed to the shelves. I didn't even have a chance to choose. I could only passively accept it all.
However, the power of the electorate given by Talona really helped me get through the initial period of weakness, so I will repay her in my own way.
Oh, by the way, if it's convenient, can you help me repair the unstable Mythra core over there?"
"Core of Mythra? Where did you get this thing?"
Only then did Midnight notice one of the greatest magical creations of the Netherese era that was placed on the other side of the portal to visit.
"Snatched from the ruined Arcane Brotherhood. According to Akram Grace's statement, he found this thing in the ruins of a floating city. Perhaps it escaped to the shadow plane.
To be continued...
