“Stop it!”

Radak was completely panicked and immediately took back all his strength. The huge golem stopped moving, and then a sharp sound wave continued to echo in the closed laboratory.

The magic missile that was so close seemed to have been affected by something violent and soon exploded with a bang.

But Ladakh did not feel the slightest joy, because after the outer shell constructed by magic power was broken, the scorching white phosphorus flame inside gushed out and soon stained the azure gem.

The originally sharp and magical [Soul Scream] immediately turned into a painful wail...

The dozen or so remaining coffins in the secret room began to tremble violently.

Lin En had already formed a fireball in his hand. Along with the sound of a gem shattering, a transparent vengeful spirit appeared in the secret room, its face distorted and hideous, as if carrying countless pains and resentments.

Probably because the carrier was broken and suffered severe damage, its body was extremely illusory and even not as good as the wizard's apprentice before. The air medium was like a sharp knife, constantly consuming Ladakh's limited strength.

The screams and howls lasted for more than half a minute before they suddenly stopped, and the illusory spirit soon completely disintegrated in front of Lin En...

Lin En finally broke free from the influence of [Soul Scream]. He realized that his guess was correct. Since all the controlled people were zombies, Radak must have stored their souls somewhere else.

Something similar to a lich's phylactery.

The target he chose was the azure gem on the experimental table that was used as a searchlight.

I have to say that Ladakh has a very bad taste, using his own soul for lighting.

If he hadn't discovered during the previous experiments that the magical reaction of this thing was very strong, he would not have been able to associate it with this thing.

Under Lin En's control, the blazing white phosphorus fire in the secret room gradually went out, and what remained was a ruin. Hundreds of coffins had been burned out, and the only things that were well preserved were the golem made of mithril and the magic books that filled the entire bookshelf behind the laboratory table.

"Biological Materials and Ectoplasm", "Detailed Explanation of Psionic Magic", "Advanced Alchemy"...

Lynn glanced at the bookshelf. In addition to a large number of books on psionics and potions, there were also many research notes.

However, he did not have the time to look through it, and he did not even have the time to clean up the messy secret room. He used shaping magic to transform himself into the appearance of Ladakh, opened the door of the secret room and walked out.

The castle was in chaos at the moment, and Lin En was not surprised by this situation.

In order to avoid being disturbed when dealing with Ladakh, Lin En took advantage of his position as an assistant and made some changes to the place where the defective products were detained.

Judging from the time, it should have taken effect.

However, the castle guards were more powerful than he had imagined. By the time Lynn arrived at the front hall, the few rioting defectives had already been subdued.

"Lord Radak... Experimental subjects No. 12, 27, and 32 suddenly broke free from their cages. The casualties are being counted. For now, the cause has not been determined."

After seeing Lynn's figure, Coleman and others immediately knelt down and made a report in a trembling manner.

This time the experimental subjects' riot was very inexplicable, and no one could be found to take the blame. Everyone was extremely worried that Ladakh would vent his anger on them.

Although Lynn did not explicitly state the treatment of Timis, everyone could guess that Timis' death must have been extremely tragic.

"I knew there was something wrong with Timis..." Bock shouted excitedly.

Ever since Timis became a reserve assistant based on his previous research achievements, he has been feeling resentful, thinking that he had contributed a lot to the experiment, but all the credit was taken away by the other party.

Now that he heard that Timmis was in trouble, Burke couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of pleasure in his heart.

However, when he saw Lin En's gaze, the excitement on Bock's face stopped immediately, because he suddenly thought of recruiting Timis as an assistant, and it was this adult who personally nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, Lin En ignored him and turned to look at Coleman and spoke again. "Coleman, you keep investigating. Don't let anyone go. I want to see how many mice there are in this castle!"

"I understand, Lord Ladakh," Coleman quickly replied.

Upon hearing this, all the apprentices changed their expressions, and there was a hint of wariness in their eyes when they looked at each other.

This was exactly what Lin En wanted to achieve, to make everyone in the castle fall into a situation of mutual surveillance and suspicion. In this way, even if he behaved in some strange way, no one would suddenly lose their mind and start to doubt whether the Lord "Ladakh" in front of them was the real thing.

Immediately afterwards, Lynn began to arrange personnel to clean up the wreckage and count the losses.

Due to Ladakh's high prestige, Lin En found that he had almost no obstacles in commanding, because no one dared to question his orders.

In other words, as long as his identity is not exposed, he can use everything in the magic workshop at will.

…

After arranging the affairs in the castle, Lin En did not delay but returned to the secret room to start sorting out Radak's relics, especially those experimental notebooks. The magical knowledge contained in them was the greatest treasure.

"Logan flower, requiem grass, witch's claws, the roots of the magic mulberry tree... plus spiritual essence?"

Lynn sat in front of the cold experimental table, flipping through a research notebook in his hand. On it was recorded the formula of the [Source of Magic Power]. If those shaping potions strengthened the wizard's body, then the [Source of Magic Power] was used to increase the strength of the mental power.

This is also the essence of how wizards can cast spells.

In fact, it is not difficult to obtain the other materials. You can buy them by spending magic coins. The most important thing is this spiritual essence...

Ectoplasm exists widely in the minds of powerful magical creatures, but in small quantities. For example, the epicure obtained from killing a fire lion can only make one bottle of [Source of Magic].

This substance also exists in the brains of wizard apprentices and even formal wizards.

Leaving aside the formal wizards, according to Radak's speculation, only the spiritual essence in the brains of three wizard apprentices is needed to gather a set of raw materials, and the probability of promotion is higher...
