Chapter 316 Experimental Assistant
The fourth black page in the diary was originally incomplete. After supplementing it with the Wraith Hand and a small amount of Angela's soul energy, it transformed into a brand new page, and the consciousness within also turned into a new personality—An.
However, this new personality was clearly not fully integrated and stable. She was mostly silent. Sol knew that An was working hard to stabilize her self-awareness, so he wouldn't deliberately disturb her, lest the fusion fail and she turn into a monster.
And now the flaws of the incomplete fusion were exposed.
An's mind was always filled with inexplicable memories. Some of these memories had clear origins, while others were just fragmented pieces.
She often had to deliberately ignore those memories, otherwise she would easily fall into distortion and chaos, unable to extricate herself.
Fortunately, An was within the diary, which allowed her to maintain a stable mental state at all times.
Otherwise, these three fragmented consciousnesses, forcibly combined, would have exploded in inevitable conflict long ago.
"The incomplete evil spirit consciousness came from the basement of the Ralph Bloodthorn family," Sol thought. "And the diary also came from there. It's clear that the evil spirit's origin is not ordinary. If I have the chance, I still need to have An recall it, perhaps I can uncover more secrets about the diary."
However, Sol didn't plan to question her now. He just silently noted in his heart that An was familiar with the codewords for the Soul Loss Flower's hypnotic techniques, and she might have had dealings with the Land Leviathan.
Ordinary friends wouldn't know such confidential information.
Sol smiled easily, feeling relieved.
Although he hadn't found the bug in the Wizard Tower yet, knowing the suggestion that the other party intended to give him would allow him to be prepared in the future.
He'd find the person sooner or later.
"Let's leave this matter here for now. I'll tell the mentor about my findings in the corpse and the numerical value of this mental fluctuation. As for how far the mentor can investigate… we'll just continue to follow the arrangements."
With so much evidence, even if Golsa was arrogant, he would be more careful, right?
Sol had grown up under the secret promotion and cultivation of Mentor Golsa. Although the other party's education model was more inclined to free-range, Sol was still grateful to him in his heart.
Otherwise, he probably wouldn't even have had the opportunity to enter the morgue, let alone carry out the Witch Body Modification that could be said to have changed his fate.
"The Wizard Tower can't have an accident, otherwise the apprentices here will probably be dragged into this conspiracy against the mentor."
Sol's mind was filled with familiar and kind faces, as well as his experiences in the Wizard Tower over the years.
"Although it's cold and ruthless here, it also provides me with a place to stand."
Sol walked to the experiment table, picked up the communication pen again, and called Tower Master Golsa, whom he had just separated from less than half a day ago.
Because it concerned an unknown mastermind, Sol didn't write down the specific details, but only wrote that he hoped to meet the mentor again.
Such information naturally didn't seem so urgent.
Sol was also prepared to wait a while before seeing the Tower Master again.
But he didn't expect that this time, it would be half a month before he saw his new mentor again.
Before Golsa arrived in person, Sol wouldn't talk to anyone about this matter, so he continued his apprentice life as normal.
It's just that now, in addition to his work in the Second Warehouse, he also had an extremely high-end research project.
Who would have thought that an apprentice who had just advanced to Level 3 Wizard Apprentice could participate in such a high-level experiment as resurrection?
After several days of thinking and judgment, Sol quickly decided on the entry point for his research—he chose the soul infusion that he was most familiar with, and the container for the infusion was also the human body he was familiar with.
To this end, he specifically applied to Mentor Romm for a Level 2 apprentice to cooperate with soul infusion, and Mentor Romm agreed without any hesitation after hearing Sol's idea.
And the best thing was that all the experiments related to the circular laboratory didn't require Sol to spend his own money.
It's just that the time of Sol's request wasn't very good. The artificial Level 2 apprentices created before were either already dead or were participating in other experiments and couldn't spare the time, and the new artificial Level 2 apprentices… their souls hadn't fully integrated with their bodies.
Because in the soul infusion experiment, the gender of the soul and the body weren't the same. Although this could help the spirit body stay in the body, it would also cause strong cognitive differences.
They had conducted many experiments before, and there were several times when the infusion experiment had already succeeded, but at the last moment, it caused alienation because the consciousness couldn't accept the new body.
So when Mentor Romm later selected candidates to participate in the experiment, he would choose some apprentices whose minds had already gone wrong.
Because they didn't care about the small matter of gender change.
But none of the Level 2 apprentices created in this way could last for three years. Over time, the soul and the body would repel each other.
If they were forced to stay together, the final result would be the collapse of the soul and the dissolution of the body.
But despite this, the soul infusion experiment was one of the most successful experiments.
Therefore, when Sol approached Romm, the other party provided him with many conveniences and told Sol that he could go to him if he encountered any problems.
And Sol saw for the first time what Mentor Romm, who was as fat as a mountain, looked like when he smiled.
Kind… and dangerous.
Anyway, Sol was the first time he saw the waves of flesh on Mentor Romm's body smiling too.
He hurriedly bid farewell to Mentor Romm and returned to the Second Warehouse to wait for the experimental subject, oh no, the assistant to come to the door.
The following days entered a period of strange calm.
The person behind the Soul Loss Flower didn't make any other moves, and the mentor didn't come either. It seemed that the assistant Sol applied for would have to wait some days.
The work in the warehouse was still pitifully small.
Senior Byron came to find him once, seemingly wanting to confirm Sol's state after entering the Level 3 apprentice, and shared his learning experience after entering Level 3 with Sol.
This was mainly because Byron owed Sol credits again. Besides these experiences, he temporarily didn't have anything to offer. After all, as the Tower Master's apprentice, Sol almost didn't lack experimental materials.
And although some of these learning experiences shared by Byron weren't suitable for Sol, they could still provide him with a reference.
Byron explained the knowledge in detail, mostly in areas that mentors didn't cover. Especially knowledge about advancing to a formal wizard.
Sol's two current mentors, one was offline and the other didn't dare to overstep, which led to him not having learned how Level 3 apprentices advance to formal wizards.
Of course, Sol wasn't actually in a hurry to learn this knowledge. He had just entered Level 3 and had just learned his first Tier 2 wizardry. He didn't know how many years he had to go before advancing to a formal wizard.
Even if his positioning device was already in place, his own conditions, such as magic power, mental power, and knowledge reserves, hadn't met the standards.
These were all things that needed time to hone.
And now he couldn't use Witch Body Modification to quickly increase his magic power and mental power like before.
When he completed the Spirit Devouring Fat modification, the level of materials he came into contact with had already exceeded the range of materials that a Level 2 apprentice could originally apply for. This led to the fact that after he entered Level 3, the materials he could obtain were exactly the same as before, which meant that Sol couldn't temporarily make a higher-level Witch Body Modification than the Spirit Devouring Fat.
There was no need for a Witch Body Modification of the same level, and it would also hurt his body and cost a lot of money.
