Chapter 311 Division of Labor
Killing monsters above one's level is very dangerous, but the corresponding rewards are also huge.
Even if he doesn't inherently love adventure, Sol can very well understand Golsa's thoughts.
To complete something that a Fourth-Order Wizard can do with the identity of a Second-Order Wizard. Just thinking about it is exhilarating.
In fact, Golsa has already done part of it. He has mastered the space wizardry that only Fourth-Order Wizards can operate. Although the wizardry he uses is likely to have huge limitations.
But it is enough to make him a Second-Order Wizard who can dominate the entire Western Continent. It is said that even Third-Order Wizards treat him with courtesy.
Which man doesn't yearn for such status and strength?
Mentor Katz saw the fire in Sol's eyes. He turned his head away, expressionless, but sighed in his heart.
"As expected, he is still young. When faced with challenges, he can only think of the joy of success, but he doesn't consider the difficulties involved. Will he be defeated? And how long can he maintain this enthusiasm?"
Katz gave Sol three minutes to think or daydream, and then began to explain the entire experimental process to him.
"The resurrection experiment has two major problems: one is the soul, and the other is the body. Tower Master is solely responsible for the first item. The soul of the deceased is always dissipating soul energy, and the probability of being contaminated is also very high. Once it is transformed into a Wraith or an Evil Spirit, then there will be no chance of resurrection. At least, not within my known field of knowledge."
"Therefore, in order to maintain the integrity and purity of Lady Yulaf's soul, he made great sacrifices, even at the cost of transforming himself to ensure that Lady Yulaf's spirit body could be preserved for a long time."
Sol remembered that when he first saw Lady Yulaf's complete face, she finally entered the Tower Master's body and was taken away by him.
"So, Lady Yulaf usually stays in the Tower Master's body?"
"It's definitely not that simple! If the human body could accommodate the souls of other deceased people, we wouldn't have to make so many containers in order to find a suitable body."
Mentor Katz waved his hand across the stone coffins in front of him, obviously they were all bodies prepared for the resurrection of Lady Yulaf.
But it is obvious that none of them can truly meet the requirements for resurrection.
Otherwise, Mentor Katz's expression would not be so downcast at this time.
This is an expression that has been completely defeated, and has begun to turn into numbness and even resignation—"Yes, I am just a waste"—.
"I won't go into detail about the content he is responsible for over there, after all, I am not very clear about it. And we… including you, are mainly responsible for finding and creating a container that can accommodate Lady Yulaf's spirit body for a long time."
"I see." Sol recalled his experience studying in the Wizard Tower. Many things were actually foreshadowed before.
Handling corpses in the morgue, separating contaminated and uncontaminated materials.
Participating in the soul infusion observation experiment presided over by Mentor Rom and led by Senior Nick.
Learning wizardry related to spirit bodies, and being responsible for the Second Warehouse, to further understand material science other than the human body.
It's just that Sol still can't understand why the Tower Master chose him?
Is it because of his higher spiritual power talent?
But he is not responsible for maintaining the soul, but participates in the part of manufacturing the container.
Shouldn't it be someone who is more proficient in this knowledge and has more experience who should be responsible? Or do they think that a newcomer might bring new ideas?
If so, it would be better to publish this experimental data and let everyone brainstorm, which would be more reliable.
"For the container manufacturing part of the task, the Tower Master assigned tasks based on the areas of expertise of several mentors. For example, Mentor Anze and I are mainly responsible for manufacturing containers. I am good at constructing with human body materials. Mentor Anze, who majors in earth properties, will choose more and more peculiar materials."
For example, the fat on Mentor Rom's body?
Mentor Katz saw Sol's suddenly enlightened look, and immediately knew what Sol was thinking, but he shook his head.
"If you are thinking about the fat on Mentor Rom's body… that's not it. Although there are wooden puppet containers in this laboratory, they were eliminated very early. The current wooden puppets are mostly used to test the state of spiritual power and spirit bodies to confirm whether they are normal and whether there are signs of contamination."
"Then what aspect of research is Mentor Rom responsible for?"
"He and Mentor Gudo are mainly responsible for the compatibility of souls and materials."
"Mentor Rom majors in water and light attributes, I can understand. But Mentor Gudo, doesn't he major in poison and metal attributes?" Sol couldn't imagine how a person who studies new toxins all day long could study souls?
Mentor Katz looked over helplessly, "Actually, he has already handed over the work of making toxins to his apprentices. Because there are not enough people, everyone has to be responsible for a lot of research work. But Mentor Gudo is very powerful, he has already found his own path."
"Rom focuses more on modifying the soul to adapt to the container in terms of the compatibility between the soul and the container, while Gudo focuses on modifying the container to accept the soul. He regards the container's rejection of the spirit body as a kind of toxin, and thinks about ways to eliminate the toxicity."
Sol suddenly understood that indeed, a master of poison is often also a master of detoxification.
Then that leaves Mentor Monica.
She is the only female wizard, and also the only one who majors in thunder attribute wizardry.
The key is that she is young and beautiful.
The only flaw is that from time to time, she will turn from a beauty into a charred beauty.
"Monica… she is actually…" Mentor Katz seemed a little hesitant, but he thought that Sol might learn about it from other people, so he told Sol the truth.
"Actually, Monica was a formal wizard created by Golsa for the resurrection experiment."
"Created?" Sol was stunned. If formal wizards could really be mass-produced, what would be the point of their wizard apprentices?
"Yes, it cost a lot of money and countless lives." Katz sighed, "At that time, there were probably one hundred or two hundred people, and in the end, only Monica successfully advanced to become a formal wizard. But the Tower Master only needed a thunder attribute wizard, and the remaining dozen or so people at that time quickly died one after another within a year or two because they no longer had the protection of the Tower Master."
"And the useful materials taken from these dead people were all used on Monica in the end to strengthen her abilities."
Without Mentor Katz saying it, Sol had already guessed Mentor Monica's ability.
She focuses on lightning, because thunder attribute wizardry is very good at purifying pollution.
She is the key to helping the Tower Master keep the spirit body and container from being contaminated!
In order to allow the resurrection experiment to continue for a long time, Golsa created a "disinfectant" for his experiment.
"Having said that, you should have a general understanding of the resurrection experiment. You are not the first apprentice to participate in this experiment, but I hope you are the last."
Sol knew that Mentor Katz was eagerly hoping that this experiment could come to an end.
From the wrinkles on his face and the dimness in his eyes, it could be seen that he might not even mind if the experiment ended in failure.
"I don't know." Sol looked at the old man who was as tired on the outside as he was in spirit, and didn't know how to tell him.
Judging from all the information Sol already knew, dark clouds had already enveloped the Wizard Tower.
Golsa is not concerned because of his extraordinary strength, but for Mentor Katz, the days of rest are probably far away.
