Half a day later, Angor left the Creation Temple with a thoughtful look.
He returned to the manor and saw Greya training Toby. "You look troubled. What's wrong?" Greya asked curiously when she saw Angor's frown.
"Let me see. You were supposed to go to Ashilie's class today. Did someone question you during the class? Do you need me to cook them into pastries to help you vent your anger? "
Angor shook his head. "The class ended without a hitch. I'm fine. I just heard something from the research department. "
As for what kind of news it was, he didn't say if it was interesting or shocking.
Greya was curious about the research department, but she didn't ask directly. "If it's good news, I'll be happy to hear it. But if it's bad, don't tell me."
"It's not bad for now, but I don't think it's good news either," said Angor as he patted Toby's feathers. "But I don't think the news will affect the alchemy circle only." Angor stroked Toby's feathers as he continued, "Good or bad, the news will only affect alchemists."
Greya understood what Angor was trying to say. This news was news from the alchemy circle, so it should have nothing to do with an outsider like her. In that case, she was too lazy to inquire about it. Anyway, if it was really big news, even if she was not in the alchemy circle, she would still know about it.
Just like how Angor created a high-tier alchemy item as an apprentice. It was big news in the alchemy community, but it still spread to other circles.
After chatting with Greya for a while, Angor returned to his room alone.
He sat in front of the window and thought for a while. Then, he took out his notebook and began reading about the Gate of Illusion.
Inside the notebook, he added "Ivo Sprit" behind the name "Alex".
After hearing Granny Fingernail's story, Angor already had a hunch that Alex might be the missing Ivo. But it was only a guess. Today, Angor finally got his answer.
Not long ago …
Antonio told Angor that Principal Muse invited him to the Creation Temple.
Angor was surprised to hear that Mister Muse had come out of his seclusion. According to Antonio, the principal should have been in seclusion for at least several months, or even years. But now, it was less than a month.
When Angor arrived at the Creation Temple, he saw the other city lord of Floating Mech City, Lawson, as well as Granny Fingernail.
Granny Fingernail was sitting in the second seat, so he guessed that it was probably because of Ivo.
As Angor expected, they were talking about Ivo and the "Box of Reincarnation". Muse called Angor over because he wanted to see the illusions inside the Shadow of Trunks and confirm some details with Angor.
Later, Lawson asked Hydra to make a prophecy using some of the details in the Shadow of the Box.
Although Hydra did not give him an accurate answer, he had obtained some answers from Snake in the Tree, and these answers were confirmed by Granny Fingernail.
In other words, it was basically confirmed that Alex was either Ivo himself or Ivo's doppelganger.
After receiving this answer, the Creation Temple immediately became noisy.
Muse and Lawson began to discuss, or rather, argue about a few questions: Where is Ivo? How do we find him? Also, how was he going to save Ivo from the shackles of the Reincarnation Box?
Since both sides refused to listen to each other, the Creation Temple became like a wet market.
Water Witch told Angor that they had been arguing for several days, but they still couldn't come up with an answer. This would probably last for a while.
Angor didn't want to stay and listen to their discussion since it involved the core interests of Floating Mech City.
However, based on the information he received, Ivo was indeed Alex. Furthermore, because of Ivo's importance, both President Muse and Sir Lawson had reached a consensus: the Research and Development Institute would definitely rescue Ivo.
Angor didn't know what kind of consequences this news would bring. But once it got out, it would surely cause a huge uproar in the alchemy circle.
But as he told Greya, he didn't know whether this was good news or not.
People who had never experienced the power of the Box of Reincarnation would never know how terrifying it was. Even Angor himself didn't know how terrifying the Box of Reincarnation was. After all, Alex's Town of Gooste was a relatively light reincarnation scene.
Granny Fingernail was one of the creators of the Box of Reincarnation. Perhaps she had some special means to deal with it.
Everything would have to wait until the Box of Reincarnation was truly found before knowing whether this news was good or bad.
…
While the stars were twinkling in the night sky, Angor was still writing and comparing theories.
After two weeks of experiments, Angor had more or less figured out the details of the Soft Metamorphosis Worm's skin transplant. Now, it was time to put it into practice.
But there was still something else he was worried about.
Which part should he transplant?
The Soft Metamorphosis Worm's skin was only the size of a palm, so it would take a lot of energy to transform the whole body.
Only a small part of the skin would cost less energy.
Choosing a specific part of the skin would cost almost no energy at all.
Based on the experience of his predecessors, he excluded the secret locations and came up with a list of 36 locations. After careful consideration, he finally chose the hand.
Since the hand was the most frequently used part of the hand, transplanting the Soft Worm's skin to the hand would allow the energy consumption to be negligible when the hand was deformed. This would also save some energy.
But now, should he transplant the left hand or the right hand?
Angor used his right hand most of the time, so it was the best choice. But his right hand was a projection of his bloodline, and it was surrounded by green patterns. Angor wasn't sure if the skin transplant would affect the green patterns.
His left hand was fine as well, but he was worried that "Shava" might try to fuse with his left hand again. If that happened, the Amoeba skin on his left hand would go to waste.
Therefore, this was the reason why he was hesitating.
Left hand? Right hand?
Since he couldn't make a decision, he began to list the pros and cons of his left and right hands one by one, as well as the weight of each.
In the end, Angor noticed that there were many advantages to transplanting the skin to his right hand. However, he wasn't sure if the green patterns would be affected. This was an unknown variable.
But transplanting the skin to his left hand would have less advantages. The biggest drawback was that the Soft Metamorphosis Worm's skin would be too white.
This would cause the Polymorph spell to disappear, but Angor could accept it.
There were other solutions, such as transplanting new Soft Metamorphosis Worm's skin, or learning Polymorph directly without using any external force. Learning Polymorph would be much easier since he already had experience with it.
Both Sunders and Granny Fingernail told Angor that he should try learning the traditional Polymorph spell after transplanting the Soft Metamorphosis Worm's skin.
Angor had the same idea. After all, the traditional Polymorph spell was much better than relying on external forces.
After some consideration, Angor decided to transplant the skin to his left hand.
With the last problem solved, Angor prepared to begin the transplant process.
Skin transplantation wasn't as big as a limb modification, but it still required a lot of precision. Angor didn't have an assistant to help him, so he had to do everything on his own.
Therefore, he reserved three days for himself to practice and practice.
