Maybe it was because of Shava's identity, or maybe it was because Boiling Gentleman had been working alone all this time, and he was looking forward to sharing his work with others.
Therefore, Boiling Gentleman took the initiative to tell Angor about the basic details of the monster modifications without Angor asking.
The core of Boiling Gentleman's modification was the energy furnace.
The energy furnace was the heart of the maid, while the energy furnace on the bone leopard was the glowing metal ball inside its abdomen.
At first, Angor thought that the energy furnace was similar to a power source.
A power source was the source of energy that maintained the power of supernatural items.
For example, if an alchemy tool suddenly lost its effect, there were generally two reasons. Either the alchemy tool itself was damaged, or the power source that maintained the alchemy tool's effect was exhausted.
The concept of a power source was similar to a battery. It was used to activate, replenish, or maintain a certain function.
Generally speaking, most Magi used magic crystals as their power source.
The energy furnace, on the other hand, was similar to a magic crystal. By burning the energy furnace, one could continuously provide energy to the bone leopard. In Angor's opinion, the energy output of the energy furnace was similar to that of a power source.
However, as Boiling Gentleman continued to explain, Angor noticed some obvious differences. The energy furnace was used on living creatures.
However, the energy furnace was not used on living creatures. Even if the mechanical alchemists refined some fleshly body puppets that used power sources as the core, they could only be regarded as cyborgs and could not be fully called living beings.
Also, the energy from the energy furnace needed to be transferred to a living creature through a medium.
For example, all wizards knew that there was active energy in a magic crystal, but no wizard would choose to absorb it directly. This was because the energy in a magic crystal was not compatible with their own energy system, and it was not pure. Only by using special mediums to remove the impurities in the energy could the energy be transferred to the body.
The energy output from the energy furnace was directly transferred to a living creature's body to participate in the energy cycle. This was something that the energy furnace could not compare with!
Angor's eyes lit up when he heard Boiling Gentleman's general description of the energy furnace.
Without a doubt! If a wizard could master an atypical energy source like the energy furnace, it would not only change the way wizards used energy, but also change the way they trained!
Perhaps he could directly absorb energy from the power furnace to cultivate and achieve the goal of rapid advancement!
The more he thought about it, the more he found it useful. His curiosity about it reached its peak.
It was rare for Boiling Gentleman to be praised for his skills, and it was from the honorable Her Excellency Shava, so the more he spoke, the more excited he became. He couldn't wait to take out his collection of various power furnaces.
However, no matter how eager he was to show off his results, he had to return to the modification laboratory first.
The Enchanted Candle Corridor was a very long maze. Even if Boiling Gentleman was very familiar with the route here, it would still take some time to get back to the laboratory quickly.
On his way to Boiling Gentleman's lab, he kept observing the Bewildering Corridor. Every now and then, some modified monsters would jump out of the corridor. Apart from the black panthers, there were also other monsters of all shapes and sizes. There was even a Void Slug that almost took up the entire corridor. It looked like a giant serpent with no end in sight.
These were all monsters that Boiling Gentleman had captured from the void. They were left behind to guard the Bewildering Candle Corridor, and would become the first line of defense if an outsider invaded.
Apart from the modified monsters, there were also some doors that appeared in the corridor from time to time. Some of these doors were disguised by the mouths of monsters. Once you entered the door, it was equivalent to entering the stomach of a monster. Some of them were really rooms in the corridor. However, these rooms were not safe. Some of them were resurrected statues of monsters, as well as strange spirits that lived in paintings.
Still, for Angor, these statues and ghosts were relatively safe. They were all nightmare monsters, which were naturally suppressed by Shava's identity. Unlike the modified monsters, they wouldn't care about Angor's identity at all.
After following Boiling Gentleman for about half an hour through more than twenty corridors, Boiling Gentleman finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous door.
"This is my modification laboratory." Boiling Gentleman pointed at the door.
Angor nodded calmly at Zeal Gentleman's words. Inside, he sighed. The Enchantment Corridor was much more difficult than he thought. Even with Zeal Gentleman leading the way, it still took them so long. If the wizards from Brute Cavern managed to invade this place, they would probably be stuck in this endless maze forever.
Boiling Gentleman opened the door and revealed a dark passage.
Angor was about to follow Boiling Gentleman when he suddenly sensed something fishy.
The wind came from the left. Angor looked in that direction. He saw a corner not far from his left. The corner was illuminated by candlelight, and he could vaguely see a ferocious shadow behind the corner.
The candlelight elongated the shadow, giving it a terrifying look.
Boiling Gentleman noticed Angor's gaze and explained, "There's a Distorted Seed in that corridor. It's responsible for controlling the monsters in the Dark Dream Tunnel."
The mother body of the Distorted Seed? And … monsters in the Dark Dream Tunnel?
Angor suddenly realized something. Were those monsters hiding in the dark when he followed Mister Rein and his professor into the ruins?
If it was really those monsters hiding in the dark, then did that mean that …?
"That's the exit to the demiplane?" Angor tried his best to suppress his excitement and asked calmly.
Boiling Gentleman nodded. "Yes. It's not far from the exit of the Heart of Consolation."
I knew it! That's the exit!
Angor's heart raced. Ever since he was dragged into the spirit garden, he had been trying to find a way to leave the ruin. Now he was only a few steps away!
Angor wanted to leave right away, but he knew he couldn't rush it. He was still playing Shava's role, and he had to keep following Shava's script.
He mentioned at the banquet that he was interested in the Distorted Seed. Even if he had to leave, he had to follow Boiling Gentleman and see the Distorted Seed first.
At least he had to go through the motions.
Angor tried to hide his anxiety. "I'm interested in the Distorted Seed as well. Since it's the Distorted Seed's main body, can I take a look?"
