Ness came to Angor with a stack of parchment papers filled with data.
Then he dragged Angor to an experiment table.
"Wait. I need to check the data one last time," Sunders stopped Ness.
"It'll be fine. Trust me, the soul experiment won't go wrong," Ness said.
Sunders frowned. "I'll check the data again. We can't make any mistakes in Angor's soul experiment. I need to check again. "
A trace of uneasiness flashed across Ness's face. "Well … there's no need for that. You have to trust me. The results won't be a problem. We did the calculations together. Angor's soul won't be harmed. " Sunders was right. They had been discussing the key points when Angor's soul was temporarily separated from his body, and they came up with the final result. Based on the results, Angor's soul would not be harmed at all.
However, Sunders only wanted to check the data with Ness on a whim. But when he saw Ness's evasive expression, Sunders became suspicious.
"Give me the data," Sunders said without hesitation this time.
After a moment of silence, Ness handed the parchment to Sunders with a bit of embarrassment.
The paper recorded the procedure of the soul experiment, which was divided into four steps. Step 1: "Soul Compatibility", Step 2: "Soul Separation", Step 3: "Soul Experiment", and Step 4: "Soul Integration".
Due to Ness's strange expression, Sunders had to check the data carefully this time.
Step 1, no problem. Step 2, no problem either. Step 3 … Step 4, no problem either. Whether it was the data or the results of the derivation, they were all within his expectations. It looked like a perfect experimental process.
When Sunders finished reading the last parchment paper, he frowned. Perfect data … But why did Ness look so uneasy?
Sunders looked at Ness with a puzzled expression. Ness, on the other hand, didn't look nervous at all.
"I told you. The experiment is fine. I'm a soul expert. How can I make a mistake? "Ness's smile was like a spring breeze. The wrinkles on his face looked like the folds of a curtain.
Sunders was even more confused by Ness's sudden change of attitude.
Sunders checked the data again and still found nothing wrong.
"There is indeed no problem with the experimental data and process." "I'll say it again. This is an important experiment. We can't let anything happen to Angor's soul."
Ness nodded with a smile. "There's definitely no problem with the soul. The data is there for all to see!"
Sunders was still puzzled, but the data was fine. He could only think to himself, maybe he was overthinking it?
Angor, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Professor, can I take a look at the experiment?"
According to the rules of the Magus World, it was very inappropriate for an acolyte to interrupt a conversation between official Magi. Angor's interruption might be interpreted as "he doesn't trust my knowledge", which was a big taboo.
It was like a patient who went to see a doctor. The doctor gave him a prescription, but the patient didn't believe the doctor's prescription. If you don't believe me, then why are you here?
Sunders glanced at Angor and was a little surprised by the boy's lack of manners. In Sunders' eyes, Angor was a very sensible child who knew the etiquette of nobles and knew the ways of the world. Apart from being a little arrogant and sticking to some strange bottom line, everything else about Angor was quite nice. It was rare for someone like this to say something rude.
Angor also knew that it was inappropriate to speak now. However, this was about his soul. Both of Ness's apprentices had grudges against him. Saka didn't know who he was, but Hookdick did. Who knew if Hookdick would say something like this in front of Ness? Besides, even Angor could tell that something was wrong with Ness's expression, so he wanted to see it for himself.
Ness was a little annoyed. If it was someone else who dared to interrupt, Sunders would have destroyed the person's body and soul. But Angor was Sunders' student, so Sunders didn't say anything. He only sneered, "You? Can you understand it even if I show it to you? "
Angor remained silent. Ness' words hit the nail on the head. It was true that Angor wouldn't be able to understand it.
Ness didn't mind Angor's silence. Angor was only an apprentice, so he didn't need to worry about it.
Ness tried to take the parchments from Sunders, but Sunders ignored him. Sunders took out one of the parchments and handed it to Angor. He then returned the other parchments to Ness.
"What does this mean?" Ness looked at Sunders with a puzzled look.
"Angor doesn't understand the rest of the experiment, but he might understand the content on that one. You only need to show him that one, "Sunders explained in a plain tone.
Something Angor could understand? Ness was surprised. Even Sunders had to listen to Ness's explanation to understand the soul experiment he did. A level-1 apprentice who only became a supernatural half a year ago was told that he might understand that one?
Which one? Which one? Ness suddenly felt uneasy. He checked the remaining parchments in his hand.
All four main steps of the experiment were here.
The missing one was a note on the third step, "Separation of Body and Soul". It basically said: "How to nourish the body after separating from the body? How to keep the body alive?"
Keeping the body alive meant that the blood, metabolism, and internal organs would continue to flow.
After the soul left the body, the body would gradually deteriorate. Only by keeping the body alive could the final step, "Body Fusion", be done.
When Angor followed Sunders to the Nightmare Realm to search for channeling method, his soul and body were separated. His body was in the wizarding world, while his soul was in the Nightmare Realm. However, the Nightmare Realm was a world where time never stopped. Coming and going only took a moment. He might have spent several days in the Nightmare Realm, but in reality, only the blink of an eye had passed.
The separation of the soul and the body was too short to cause any physical deterioration.
However, Angor's soul experiment this time required him to carry out multiple tests. His soul had to leave the body for at least several hours, which was why he needed to nourish the body and keep it alive.
This note described how to use various magic plants and special materials to create nutrient fluid, which could be used to maintain the body's vitality.
Ness' heart skipped a beat when he saw that Sunders took away the note. There was nothing wrong with the soul experiment this time. "Angor's soul will be fine."
However, Sunders didn't mention that Ness didn't promise that Angor's body would be fine.
Ness did have some ideas about nourishing the body, but he didn't really want to kill Angor's body. He only wanted to do a small experiment.
Ness looked at Angor and smiled awkwardly. "Can you read it? Give it back if you can't. I'll explain it to you. "
Sunders raised an eyebrow at Ness' sudden softening of his tone.
Angor, on the other hand, was so absorbed in the parchment that he didn't notice Ness talking to him.
Ness turned around and asked Sunders, "Can he really read it? It's all about the magic materials needed to nourish the body. Does Angor know about them? "
Sunders didn't answer. Instead, he stared at Ness with a half-smile.
Ness felt uncomfortable and pretended to cough to distract himself. There were more than ten parchments. Why did you have to pick that one out of all of them?!
Ness prayed that Angor wouldn't understand the parchment.
As a matter of fact, Ness already knew that Sunders was suspicious of him. Even if Angor didn't understand the parchment, Sunders would probably find someone else who could.
He had no choice but to admit his mistake. His plan wouldn't kill Angor anyway.
"Ugh …" Ness intentionally let out a long sigh and glanced at Sunders from the corner of his eyes.
Sunders heard Ness' sigh and looked at him. Sunders didn't say anything except for a smile.
Ness was exasperated. Ask me! Ask me why I'm sighing! If you ask me, I'll put on a sad act and explain it to you!
Ness was planning to put on a sad act, which would move Sunders' heart. Sunders would forgive him for his small mistake, considering that they were old friends.
However, Sunders didn't do that at all. He just smiled and didn't say anything.
Ness hesitated. Maybe I shouldn't put on a sad act? Should I just tell him the truth?
Before Ness could make up his mind, Angor, who had been reading the book, suddenly spoke up.
"Rainbow Reed, Withering Powder, Palm Oil Foam, Kryptonite Spring …" Angor began to list out the materials one by one.
Ness's heart raced faster each time Angor mentioned a magic material.
Sunders also fell into deep thought after hearing the names of the materials. As a wizard, there was no way he didn't know these materials. He clearly remembered the functions of each material. They were used to nourish various organs in the body.
Angor listed 13 materials in total.
"Is there something wrong with them?"
Angor considered and shook his head. "They're all fine."
Sunders raised an eyebrow. He knew Angor wasn't finished yet.
As expected, Angor continued, "There's nothing wrong with the list. But there's a strange one."
"What kind of magic material?"
"Mero Scorpion Flower," said Angor.
Mero Scorpions were magical insects from the Abyss Plane. They were a strange creature that existed between a plant and an animal. After each breeding season, when a female scorpion gave birth to its young, its pheromone would spread everywhere. However, during this period, the scorpion was at its weakest. In order to protect itself, it would turn into stone for one or two days. During that time, a beautiful flower would bloom on its tail, which was known as Mero Scorpion Flower.
"Mero Scorpion Flower … I think it's a …" Sunders tried to recall what the flower could do. Suddenly, his expression became a little strange as he said doubtfully, "It can increase the frequency of blood flow."
Angor nodded. "To be precise, it promotes blood circulation through aphrodisiac."
