Chapter 90 Seaweed Dumplings
The last time Sol met Luo Kai, he invited him to join the mutual aid association in public.
If Mentor Kaz hadn't suddenly appeared and called Thor away, he would have had to find a way to tactfully reject Luo Kai.
Now that we're head-on, I wonder if the other party will...
"Last time I asked you if you wanted to join the mutual aid society. I wonder what you think about it now?" Luo Kai smiled and took a step forward, blocking the exit of the library.
He actually came straight to the point and asked directly.
Thor subconsciously became nervous, but he quickly remembered that he was no longer a complete newcomer.
"I'm sorry, Senior Luo Kai, I'm really too busy with work and don't have time to participate in any activities. Please forgive me!"
The tone was respectful, but left no room for negotiation.
Luo Kai took another step forward, and the distance between them was shortened to less than one meter.
"Are you really that busy? Or are you worried about this?"
He stretched out his hand and bent his index fingers twice.
Like a little bug.
The other party actually confessed the existence of the parasite to him! Thor frowned secretly, thinking that it might be difficult to deal with today.
However, to Thor's surprise, Luo Kai did not act aggressively and continued to invite him.
"Hehehe, I get it. But you don't have to be so nervous. That little thing is just a means of ensuring that the internal information of the mutual aid association is not leaked. For an excellent apprentice like Sol, we naturally believe in your character and will not use such means."
"Thank you, senior, but I really don't have time recently." Seeing that Luo Kai was loose, Thor stepped sideways and tried to squeeze out from the gap between Luo Kai and the door.
"Okay. But even if you don't want to join the Mutual Aid Association, you can still attend our exchange meeting if you have time. You work on the second floor of the east building, right? If you are really worried, you can also ask Hayden. The cooperation between the Mutual Aid Association and him has always been pleasant."
Exchange meeting? Will Hayden go too?
Thor responded casually, "If there is a chance."
"That's great, you can always find Dozer and ask him to take you there."
After Luo Kai finished speaking, he moved aside to make way for Thor.
Thor glanced at the two of them, nodded, and quickened his pace to leave the library.
Luo Kai stood there, watching Thor go away with a smile on his face.
After a while, he suddenly said to Doze behind him: "Since all your good friends died, you have become much quieter."
Duoze was shocked and gritted his teeth without saying anything.
Luo Kai didn't even look back. He raised his hand and patted Duoze's head twice accurately.
"This is a good thing. If people want to grow up, they have to give up something."
…
In the next few days, Sol devoted all his spare time to the two books "A Crazy Man Teaches You How to Raise a Soul Servant" and "Conjectures about Soul Carriers".
Both books mention methods of preserving spirits and discuss spirit esters, but the latter is more of a general introduction, while the former is more specific.
Spirit esters are also a general term for a large category, which can be subdivided into many types.
The preservation period of the soul can range from a few days to several decades. It can also be extended by combining other means.
In addition to the basic function of preserving souls, many spirit esters have some additional abilities. For example, the plastic bone in Thor's left hand has the effect of enhancing the perception of dark element particles and increasing magic power.
Good spirit esters are also very precious materials in the wizarding world.
It’s a pity that according to the classification in the book, the plastic bone in Thor’s left hand should be the lowest quality spirit ester.
The soul can only survive in it for a day or two.
If it exceeds this time, it will basically dissipate.
There are very few natural spirit esters in the world, and most are artificially synthesized, which also means that the synthesis scheme can be continuously improved.
But if Thor could improve his plastic bones, not only would he be able to increase the preservation time of his soul, he could also once again enhance his own magic power and perception of dark elements.
It is always easier to optimize a witch body transformation plan than to try out a new plan out of thin air again.
Thor immediately felt that he had found the right direction. His pitiful magic power finally had the possibility of making another leap.
This study was like reading a book that was beyond the syllabus. Some of the words that popped up occasionally didn't even have annotations. In order to study these words, Sol had to borrow another book to study or ask his tutor for advice.
This in-depth study brought him a lot of gains and deepened his understanding of the book "Soul Carrier" given to him by the Tower Master.
"The tower master should be a wizard who specializes in dark attributes. He asked me to study knowledge about souls and corpses. He even used two floors of the east tower as a morgue. He takes it very seriously. I wonder what the tower master is studying now. It should be some more advanced wizard topics, right?"
Two months later, Sol finally made some small progress in optimizing the spirit ester.
He discovered that when making the solvent for dissolving plastic bones, the materials in one step could be replaced to reduce the impurities in the plastic bones that were not conducive to the preservation of the spirit.
He just needs to experiment with what to replace it with.
A diary is of little help at this time.
It can remind Thor which materials should not be placed, but it cannot tell Thor which materials will have a positive effect.
Thor can only rely entirely on his own knowledge and experience.
Now, he finally understood the research process of a normal wizard.
Propose and verify hypotheses step by step.
If the verification fails or cannot be verified, you can only give up first.
That day he went to the registration office to change a batch of materials and continue the verification.
"This is a battery cloud... Why should I change this thing? Am I out of my mind?" Thor slapped himself on the forehead.
"We know that plastic bones are afraid of electricity, but can we add electricity to them?"
While talking to himself, Thor suddenly had a new idea.
"In fact, plastic bones are afraid of electricity. I should have taken precautions against this weakness in advance. Otherwise, if I fight with others, this will become my Achilles' heel! Remember this, remember this!"
Saul hurriedly recorded his new inspiration in another book.
When doing research, he would often come up with some novel ideas, but because he did not have time to think deeply about many of them, he could only record them down for later.
After writing down his inspiration, Sol straightened up again and continued to review the remaining materials.
"Then, which one should I try?" Thor pinched his chin, feeling conflicted.
At this time, a black tentacle as thick as a thumb rolled up a test tube of medicine and raised it in front of Thor.
"This? This is alkaline. Will it affect the corrosive effect of the solvent..."
“Oh my god!”
Thor suddenly realized something was wrong and jumped up from his chair.
However, the black tentacle did not move away from him. Instead, it seemed to be pulled by something and got closer to Thor's face.
Black, slender tentacles, slippery skin, and a familiar way of rolling things...
"You, you are the Soul Devouring Swamp?"
Thor saw the root of the black tentacle in the blind spot behind him, and quickly turned around to look back.
But the tentacle also rotated synchronously with Thor.
Thor moved, and the black tentacles moved with the same amplitude.
Thor's expression was stiff. He raised his hand and wiped the black tentacles behind him.
Finally, I felt the root of the tentacle at the back of his neck.
Tentacles growing from his neck! Thor immediately ran to the door of the morgue, thinking about going directly to Teacher Kaz, or turning right quickly to the second-level senior next door.
The black tentacles still wrapped around the test tube, moving steadily with Thor.
Before his fingers touched the scarlet door of the morgue, Thor, who had just looked panicked, suddenly stopped.
He looked over his left shoulder.
"Brother Diary, aren't you working?"
The diary watched the show quietly.
Thor thought for a moment and raised his hand to hold the connection between the tentacle and the neck.
The diary remains quiet.
Thor just started to exert force, "Chiu!"
He actually pulled the black tentacle off! He touched his neck with his other hand, but didn't feel any wounds, and no second tentacle had grown.
"So... maybe it's not a parasite. I just brought it out for a short time. But how does it stay active after it leaves the main body?"
The black tentacle couldn't speak. Even after it was pulled off by Thor, it still rolled up the reagent and sent it to Thor's face.
Thor calmed down a little and took the test tube of medicine from the black tentacle.
"Well, before I study what you are, I want to see what the potion recommended by you, a seaweed ball, is for!"
