As a master, I am naturally happy to see this happen.
He was also very happy that his apprentice could get along so well with a genius.
Carl breathed a sigh of relief after getting his master's approval.
If Nia was delayed in class due to some reason and the School of Change asked about it, Moore's class would just say a few words and everything would be fine.
Of course, the premise is that Nia's studies are not affected.
"By the way, Master, look at what this thing is?"
Taking out two bottles of milky white liquid from the dimensional bag, Carl placed them side by side on the laboratory table and motioned for Moore's class to have a look.
Stroking his beard, Mooreban first opened the lid and checked it with identification technique, then he showed an expression similar to Carl's at the beginning.
'What the hell is this?'
After racking his brains for a long time, Mooreban even used the [Flash of Inspiration] feature to speed up his thinking.
Finally, he vaguely recalled a little bit of records related to the object in front of him.
"Wait here for a moment."
After saying this, Mooreban ran out of the laboratory excitedly.
At this time, Mitris and Karl were separated by only a piece of white cloth, but the people inside knew what was outside, but the people outside did not know what was inside.
Compared to yesterday, Mitris now looks more like a war forged.
Moore's class quickly built an ingenious mechanism for her. Although her movements were still stiff, as long as more adjustments could be made later, Midris's body flexibility might be better than before.
After a while, Moore came back with a book that had a bit of a "Cthulhu" style.
The cover of the book was made of some kind of slippery skin of marine creature, and even now it still felt slippery.
Moore opened the book and flipped through it quickly.
Finally, something matching the description of the white liquid in the jar appeared.
“The Kelkin Mud Monster is a symbiote that can be parasitized by swallowing it.
After parasitizing, the parasite will automatically become attuned to the monster. Unless a spell to remove the curse is used, the parasite cannot unilaterally remove the attunement. If the parasite dies while in the parasitic state, the Kel'jin Mud will devour the body of the parasite and then turn it into a black pudding monster.
While infested, the user is immune to poison, and extremely resistant to toxins and strong acids."
Symbiote, this special living equipment is not common in Khorvaire.
Because these things all come from the mutant demons.
One of the more famous mutant demons in Eberron is named "Kel'jin".
He is the Lord of the Ooze, the Master of the Shaper of Flesh.
When he heard that the thing in his hand came from the mutant demon, Carl subconsciously took two steps back.
Although those evil demons have been sealed by the Gatekeeper Druids, and those remaining in the main plane have been driven into the realm of Khyber, the mutant demons are still the protagonists of horror stories that can stop children from crying at night.
"Don't worry, this thing is not as exaggerated as you think. It can be solved with a remove curse."
Patting the jar, Mooreban suddenly asked again:
"Where did you get this?"
After telling his master everything in detail, Carl stepped forward and prepared to put the Kelkin Mud Monster into his dimensional bag.
However, Mooreban stopped Carl's action, cut off a small piece from the body, and found a little white mouse to feed it.
Before the mouse and the Kel'jin Mud could completely synchronize, Mooreban fired a Remove Curse shot, and a small ball of Kel'jin Mud seeped out of the mouse's body.
The mud monsters that seeped out again seemed to have been separated from their main bodies, and were actually picked up by Mooreban and put into the test tube next to them.
Even though it was far away from its main body, it did not turn into pus.
"Is it possible?"
Looking at the scene in front of him in amazement, Carl was eager to try it out.
"You'd better be careful. It is said that if this thing grows too big, it will be controlled by Kelkin again, and it may be a disaster."
Carl nodded in understanding and agreed readily.
After leaving the laboratory, Carl returned to the dormitory and left with Nia.
…
In the voodoo workshop, Carl and Nia looked at the drow elves who were diligently cleaning the shop with different expressions.
Karl didn't expect that the other party was still there, while Nia was surprised that Karl hired a Zhuo Er as a clerk.
Just as he was about to invite him to have dinner together later, Carl discovered to his embarrassment that he did not know the name of this drow.
"Hey! Um, what's your name?"
Looking up at Carl, the drow elf paused.
"Shadow, Shadow of the Soul Blade Clan."
"Then I will call you Ying from now on. Let's have dinner together later. This is Nia, the chief alchemist of our workshop."
After introducing each other's identities, Carl walked into the store and put the Kelkin Mud Monster into the back room.
"You two can get acquainted first. I'm going to buy some food. We'll have hot pot in the store later!"
Without paying attention to Nia and Ying's contact, Carl quickly bought a large amount of bones, meat slices and vegetables from the nearby market.
The bone soup was quickly prepared using Nia's alchemical equipment, and the three of them sat around the hot pot and had a good meal.
After dinner, Ying returned to her room, while Nia pulled Karl aside to chat in a low voice.
"This drow has no intentions, right?"
"It's hard to say, but I vaguely felt the fluctuation of psychic energy on her body. Maybe she stayed here because she also sensed the fluctuation of my psychic energy. The Soul Blade Clan, a sub-profession branch of the Wanderers, is also called Soul Blade? I remember that they seem to be studying psychic energy."
When he thought of psychic powers, Carl began to understand why Ying's behavior was so different from that of the drow outside the city.
The practice of spiritual energy is divided into the indulgent school and the ascetic school. Those outside the city are obviously the indulgent school, while Ying is the ascetic school.
It’s hard to tell who’s right and who’s wrong.
However, Nia, a child who grew up in Fairhaven, overreacted when she heard about psychic power. Her little face turned pale with fright, as if she had seen a ghost.
"Don't worry, I have psychic powers too. It's okay."
After calming them down for a moment, Carl took out the two jars of Kelkin Mud Monster, and then threw the bones that he had bought before and had been used to make soup into the ones that had been separated.
After spending so much time with a large can of metal waste, the Kelkin Mud Monster didn't digest the metal at all.
But as Carl threw the bones in, the mud monsters in the jar began to wrap around the bones.
Gradually, the bones gradually dissolved into the mud monster's body.
"Nia, do you have any titanium?"
Because of its poor thermal conductivity, titanium is usually used as an auxiliary material to adamantium in this world to forge armor and weapons with high magic resistance.
People also know that it has good "compatibility" with bones, so many prosthetic limbs are also made of titanium for the bone part.
“A little.”
Nia took out some metal ingots from the dimensional bag and handed them to Carl, not knowing what he was up to.
Then she watched Carl throw a small ingot of titanium into the jar.
But perhaps because he felt that the "absorption effect" was not good, Carl quickly ran to the lathe, ground off a lot of metal powder from another piece, and then poured it into the can.
Visible to the naked eye, the originally milky white mud monster gradually took on a hint of metallic color, and it became more and more obvious as the mud monster continued to digest.
With her little mouth open, Nia looked at Carl as if he were a god.
She really wanted to study how Carl's brain worked.
But in fact, Carl was just trying it out. Who knew that it would succeed so directly?
He thought that after the Kel'jin Mud Monster devoured the corpse of the parasite, it would turn into a black pudding Mud Monster. The black pudding Mud Monster could devour metal and wood. The Kel'jin Mud Monster could not directly devour metal but could devour bones. So in the mud monster hierarchy, it should be only slightly weaker than the black pudding Mud Monster.
Soon, all the remaining titanium ingots were fed to the separated mud monster, and its appearance became silvery.
However, the behavior of this split mud monster became stranger and stranger as it swallowed more titanium powder.
Its movements gradually became slower, and it was no longer as interested in moving in the direction of its original body.
Looking at its performance, Carl made a very bold decision.
"Wait for me a moment!"
Having said this, Carl quickly ran out of the workshop and returned with a scroll to remove the curse and a rabbit.
Picking up the can of the metal slime monster, Carl gave it to the rabbit to "drink it all in one gulp".
The poor rabbit's body suddenly swelled a little, but its movements were so slow as if it was under some kind of spell.
Carl opened the scroll and released a spell towards it.
The silver metal mud monster flowed out of the rabbit's body and lay motionless on the ground.
Carl frowned, his eyes glowed with psychic energy, and then he attacked the metal mud monster on the ground.
With a "swish" sound, the mud monster that had already "surrendered" instantly straightened up and actually turned directly into a metal cone.
This was exactly the thought information that Carl had just transmitted through psychic power.
At just a glance, Carl saw that the data of this cone was exactly the same as what he had just thought.
"If I can apply this mud monster to power armor, wouldn't it mean that I can do it with just a thought..."
Just as he was thinking this, the hard cone softened again, and the metal mud monster turned into a pool of mercury-like substance again.
Obviously, the metal mud monster's reaction came quickly and went away quickly.
After refilling the can, Carl sat back in his chair, thinking with a frown.
Nia on the side did not dare to disturb him, fearing that her rash words would interrupt Karl's train of thought.
Outside the room, Shadow, who had sensed the fluctuations of psychic energy, leaned against the door, trying to find out what was going on inside the room.
But the sudden silence made her a little overwhelmed. After struggling for a long time, she took the broom and pretended to be cleaning the house while continuing to eavesdrop.
“Bang!”
Carl's expression suddenly became excited as he hammered his right hand into the palm of his left hand.
He has figured out a way to keep the metal slime monster obedient for a long time! (End of this chapter)
