Chapter 15 Stone Crab Bloodline
Alder saw Locke in his office. He was stunned for a moment, then showed a sincere smile, and then felt more grateful to Locke. "Locke, you're here."
Old saw Locke standing at the door of his office, refusing to step in. He smiled, and then said to the three students who were copying historical documents for him in the office: "You continue to copy."
"Let's go, Locke, let's go somewhere else."
"A safer place."
After the two left, the three students in the office looked at each other, including Cohen Julian.
The pale-faced Cohen Julian looked up at the leaving figures of Locke and Professor Alder, and clenched his fists.
Why is Professor Alder so restrained and even slightly flattering to Locke Augustine? Locke Augustine is just a down-and-out former aristocrat without a country.
What is the difference between him and that guy Locke?
Cohen Julian wants to escape from this office.
But he thought that the night before yesterday, in his father's letter, he loudly accused him of being unwilling to contribute to the family and loyal to the empire and the respected Frank Emperor, so he could only lower his head and continue to copy historical documents.
He has enjoyed too much power brought by the Julian family, and every gift given by fate has already been marked with a price in secret.
Now is the time for him to give back to his family.
In a classroom that had not been used for a long time in the Aurelian College, Alder opened a box. One-half of the space in the box was an unusually large crab that had been dissected. The crab's shell was not a chitin shell, but a gray stone.
There are some red patterns on the surface of the stone crab shell.
The crab's stone claws are extremely large and have some scars on them.
Locke said: "Is this the magical creature in the world of the sea, the stone crab?"
Alder said excitedly: "Yes. The wilderness across the sea is much more dangerous than the wilderness in Corfu. There are many dangerous magical creatures there."
"The stone crab is one of them."
"It is still one of the relatively long-lived ones. Stone crabs have a lifespan of nearly three hundred years. I have been paying attention to this kind of creature before and thought that if I could study the secret of the stone crab's longevity, my lifespan can be greatly extended." I entered the experiment as an assistant. "
"The experiment was not completely successful until I came to Corfu."
"But the experiment still produced some ancillary products, such as the stone crab blood transformation potion, which can harden the skin and internal skin organs of the modified wizard apprentice into the skin of a stone crab. "
Alder said fondly: "If I hadn't been desperate, I wouldn't have taken the risk and transformed myself with the stone crab bloodline."
The remaining half of the box contained nine three types of unknown flowers, three round ores, three bottles of alcohol, and three syringes of blood.
On the surface of the inside of the wooden box, there was a flash of ice-blue runes, and then the runes quickly dimmed, as if they had lost their mana.
Alder said regretfully: "This box can only be opened once. After opening, the magic inside will lose its effect."
"The materials stored in it can no longer be cryogenically preserved. If they are not refined as soon as possible, these materials cannot be used. Locke, I am actually responsible for the refining, but you are the one who executes it."
"My magic power is too rough, and I can't do fine work at all now."
Locke said: "I can start at any time."
He touched the dark blue orb ring he wore on his right hand. The craftsmanship of the ring is very interesting. An ordinary sapphire and a dark blue orb are combined in the form of an inlay, so that outsiders will only see the outermost sapphire.
But you will not see the dark blue orb inlaid below.
The dark blue orb is like a filter, which can forcibly reduce the fluctuation range of his mental power to half of its original value. Locke gained great benefits when he built his first spell model.
At the same time, the illusory Horadric Cube in front of Locke was also spinning rapidly, and with every rotation, a spark of magic burst out.
The Rubik's Cube is being synthesized. The synthesis materials are three level 4 dark sapphires, and the synthesized items are level 5 items.
After Locke became a third-class wizard apprentice, the level of the items that the Horadric Cube could be synthesized automatically increased by one level.
However, it will take another 24 hours to complete the synthesis.
Level 4 items and level 5 items seem to be at the same threshold. It only takes 3 hours to synthesize level 4 items, but it actually takes a whole day to synthesize level 5 items.
Holding his monocle, Alder said: "The first step is to isolate the special bloodline of the stone crab, and then combine it with the bloodline separation essence injection potion made by my mentor, so that we can accurately isolate the part of the stone crab bloodline we need."
Old took out a set of scalpels from his pocket, and then used a small knife to cut and dismantle the stone crab's shell.
He is skilled in movements and is comfortable in using different tools. At the same time, as promised, he explains while operating so that Locke can understand the idea of this material processing step.
According to the agreement, Locke will help him refine the potion, and he will be rewarded with knowledge and the spell model of skull explosion.
Soon, the stone crab's carapace, tail limbs, breath, walking feet and claws were separated one by one and processed into categories.
However, the main parts of the stone crab carcass that store blood, the gill cavity, the joint cavity and the pericardial cavity have been avoided as much as possible.
Alder said: "A large part of the value of low-level magical creatures lies in their blood, so the dissection must cut open the bones, flesh and shell parts one by one, but try to avoid damaging the heart and blood vessels that circulate blood in the magical creatures, or the main storage parts of open circulation blood like stone crabs."
"So as not to cause a waste of materials, or even affect the spirituality of the materials."
"Some experiments are like gambling, and wizards sometimes cannot be sure which step is done wrong, which has a slight spiritual impact on the material, which will lead to huge differences in the experimental results."
Professor Alder said calmly: "This is the basic content of the materials processing course, Locke, you can listen carefully."
"These are all taught to you for free."
