A little while later, Angel left the Hall of Creation with a thoughtful look on his face.
When Angel returned to the manor, Grea was training Toby. Seeing Angel's frown, she asked curiously: "You look troubled. What happened to you?"
"Let me think about it, your schedule today seems to be to go to Ashley to teach. Could it be that someone questioned you during the lecture? Do you need me to help you cook them into cakes to relieve your anger?"
Angel shook his head: "The lecture ended successfully, and there were no surprises. It didn't bother me at all. I just heard some news at the R&D Institute."
As for what the news was, whether it was interesting or shocking, Angel didn't say anything.
As for the affairs of the R&D Institute, although Grea is curious, it is not easy to ask directly: "If it is good news, I am still willing to listen. If it is bad news, then don't tell me."
"At the moment, it's not bad news, but I don't think it's good news either." Angel said, while helping Toby smooth his feathers: "However, no matter whether the news is good or bad, it affects
The scope should only be in the alchemy circle."
At this point, Greya also understood. This news was from the alchemy circle and should have nothing to do with outsiders like her. In this case, she didn't bother to ask. Anyway, if it was really big news, even if she was not in the alchemy circle.
, will also know.
Just like when Angel refined high-level alchemy works as an apprentice, although this was big news in the alchemy circle, it still affected other circles.
Angel chatted with Greya for a while and then returned to the room alone.
After returning, Angel sat in front of the window and meditated for a moment, then took out his notebook and turned to the record about the Door of Illusion.
In the notes of "Illusion Gate Test Record 1", Angel drew an equal sign after the name "Alex" and wrote Ivo Spruit.
Before, after listening to the story of Granny Nail, Angel had already speculated in his heart whether Alex might be the missing Ivo. But this was just a speculation on his part, but today, Angel finally
Got a definite answer.
Time goes back not long ago.
Antonio told Angel that the Dean of the Muses invited him to the Temple of Creation.
Angel was a little surprised when he learned that Dean Muse had come out of seclusion. Because according to what Antonio said before, the dean had been in seclusion for at least several months, or even years. Now he comes out of seclusion in less than a month.
Already?
When Angel came to the Creation Hall, he found that not only the Water Mark Witch was here, but also the other city lord of the Sky Mechanical City, the Mechanical Beast Emperor "Rosen", and Granny Nail were also here.
He was treated so solemnly, and Granny Nail was still sitting in the deputy seat, so he had already made a guess in his mind, probably because of Ivo's affairs.
Sure enough, Dean Muse and the others were discussing Ivo and the Box of Reincarnation of the Undead. Muse called Angel over because he also wanted to see with his own eyes the illusion in the Shadow of the Box Garden, and at the same time confirm some things with Angel again.
detail.
Afterwards, Rosen invited Hydera to make a prophecy based on some details from Shadow of the Garden.
Although Hydera did not directly give accurate results, some of the answers he got from the "Snake in the Tree" were corroborated by Granny Nail.
In other words, it has basically been determined that Alex is either Ivo himself or Ivo's clone.
After getting this answer, the palace of creation immediately became noisy.
Muse and Rosen began to discuss, or rather argue about, several issues: Where is Ivo? How to find him? Also, how to rescue Ivo under the shackles of the Box of Reincarnation?
Because both parties had their own opinions and no one was convinced by the other, the creation hall was reduced to a vegetable market for a while.
The Water Mark Witch secretly told him that they had actually been arguing for several days, but there was still no unified answer, and it was expected that this situation would continue for some time.
Because some of the things they discussed later involved the core interests of Sky Machinery City, Angel did not stay to listen and left first.
But based on the information he has received so far, Ivo is confirmed to be Alex. Moreover, because Ivo's importance is self-evident, both Dean Muse and Mr. Rosen have reached a consensus: the R&D Institute must
Will go and save Ivo.
Angel didn't know what consequences this news would have, but once the news got out, it would definitely cause a shocking wave in the alchemy circle.
However, as Angel said to Greya, it is still unclear whether the news is good or bad.
Because of the horror of the Box of Reincarnation, people who have never experienced it will never be able to guess. Even Angel has not really experienced the horror of the Box of Reincarnation. After all, the town of Guster where Alex is located is a lightweight
The reincarnation scene.
But Granny Nail is one of the refiners of the Box of Samsara after all. Maybe she has some special means to deal with the Box of Samsara.
All we have to do is wait until the Box of Reincarnation is actually found before we can know whether the news is good or bad.
…
While the stars were twinkling in the night sky, Angel was still writing at his desk, comparing theories.
After two weeks of experiments and exploration, Angel has roughly perfected some details of the skin transplantation of the soft worm, and it is now ready for practice.
But now Angel still has some worries.
Where should it be transplanted?
Although the whole body can be deformed after transplantation, the skin of the soft worm is actually only the size of a palm, and it takes a corresponding amount of energy to achieve full-body deformation.
For local deformation, the energy consumed will be reduced accordingly.
Among them, the selected transplantation location consumes almost no energy.
Angel consulted many previous experiences and finally excluded private locations and listed thirty-six parts. After various considerations, Angel finally selected the hands.
Because the hands are the most frequently used parts, transplanting the skin of soft worms to the hands can ignore the energy consumption when the hands deform, which can also save some energy.
But now the question arises again, should the left hand or the right hand be transplanted?
Angel usually uses his right hand the most, so transplanting it to the right hand is naturally the best. However, the right hand is a representation of the projected blood, and it is surrounded by green lines. Angel does not know whether it will be possible to transplant the skin to the right hand.
Will conflict with green streaks.
In fact, the left hand can be used, but Angel is also worried about one thing. If he unexpectedly encounters "Sawa" again, and the other party fuses his left hand with himself, then the transplanted soft worm skin on his left hand will be in vain.
So, this is where he hesitated.
Left hand? Or right hand?
When Angel had difficulty making a choice, he began to list the advantages and disadvantages of his left and right hands item by item, as well as the weight ratio of each advantage and disadvantage.
When making the final summary, Angel noticed that transplanting to the right hand has many advantages, and the advantage weight is higher than that of the left hand. However, the disadvantage is that it is not known whether it will affect the green pattern. This is an unknown weight with huge fluctuations in variables.
.
As for transplanting to the left hand, the advantage weight is less than that of the right hand. Its biggest disadvantage is that it is worried that the skin of the soft deformed worm will be white when transplanted.
Although this shortcoming will directly lead to the disappearance of the transformation skill, Angel can actually bear it.
Because there are solutions, such as transplanting new deformed soft insect skin; or, for example, directly learning the deformation technique without using external force. Because you have the experience of deformation, learning the deformation technique will also be more effective with half the effort.
Both Sanders and Granny Nail actually advised Angel to try to learn the orthodox practice of transfiguration after transplanting the worm's skin.
Angel himself also had this idea. After all, orthodox transformation techniques are definitely better than those that rely on external forces.
Therefore, after comparison, Angel decided to transplant it to his left hand.
After solving this last problem, Angel was ready to enter the transplant process.
Although skin transplantation is not a major surgery like limb reconstruction, it still requires very delicate operations. Angel did not have an assistant to help, so he had to complete the entire process by himself.
Therefore, he set aside three days for himself to practice and practice.
