Kobold Wizard's Journal

Chapter 402 Spirit Hair and Nurturing

His experience as a half-baked apothecary apprentice at Old Lunser's Apothecary Shop was of great help to him. For example, the potion that filled the little devil's chest was personally concocted by him according to the records in his notes. The main ingredient of the potion was his blood and the little devil's blood, and the other ingredients were collected in advance. This is also the reason why he chose this experiment as the starting point. Based on his financial resources and his own skill level, he would try whichever experiment he could barely manage to conduct.

Of course, his ultimate goal was Lord Zorn. He could shamelessly use the pretext of asking for advice to trade some materials. This wizard must have a lot of good stuff, and his path was related to demons. But he hadn't reached Lord Zorn yet. Mahama and Kurt had already barely allowed him to continue.

His teacher may have also considered that the content in this notebook is not too difficult to grasp.

As the hastily prepared potion filled the imp's ripped-open chest.

Ruger, in his demonic form, slowly reached into the little demon's chest with his large claws, grabbed its heart, and gently lifted it up. Without causing any damage, he clasped his hands together and slowly held it, immersing it in the overflowing potion in the little demon's chest.

That teacher, back then, tried various ways to resonate with the demon and create this unfinished spell.

The spellbook states that the Demon Body spell was inspired by a spell called Demonized Flesh and Blood, but according to his teacher's notes, it was only slightly referenced. However, the always honest teacher did not deny this when he handed the spell to a seeker of spells, nor did he overemphasize its proportion in the spell exploration.

Although not explicitly stated in the notes, it is evident throughout that the resonance with the demon was the primary force behind the creation of this spell.

That ancient scroll recording experiments was the starting point of a series of attempts and a source of inspiration.

After a moment of silent contemplation, Luger opened his eyes in disappointment.

Recalling the feeling just now, under the influence of this drug, his heart and the heart in his hand reached a strange resonance in an instant, as if they shared a common heartbeat.

The runes engraved on the heart were also fine, but it still didn't work.

He still lacks some things to replicate this experiment. First, he lacks the aid of some alchemical tools. Second, his teacher's meditation method and state back then were different from his own. Moreover, his teacher's demonic body was in an unknown state back then, which might also play a role.

But his place wasn't too bad either. It was a unique space with abyssal rifts, and he was far more suited to the Demon Body spell than his teacher, even changing with other spells to make him more like a demon.

He tried again, but ultimately failed to make it.

The great kobold wizard's rudimentary first demonic experiment has failed.

The Demon Heart Resonance Experiment is shelved.

Therefore, the only option left is to conduct the next experiment. The powerful vitality of demons makes a certain type of experiment relatively simple, namely the demon cultivation experiment.

The teacher's notes mentioned three methods, and Ruger thought he could choose one of them and replace its main material with the tainted spring he had obtained.

It's called a choice, but in reality, he can only do that one thing.

The teacher mentioned that for most demons, especially the common demon species, the heart is the source of their power.

This experiment can also continue to utilize the overflowing potion in the little devil's chest.

It is truly a prime example of a poor man's experiment.

As Ruger pondered, he paced back and forth beside the lab bench.

After a moment, he made a decision.

He summoned Number One, the Mongrel.

“Great master, I knew you would summon me. I have been waiting for your call... I wonder... what are your orders?”

Excitedly, Zamao No. 1 jumped onto the experimental table.

“Send me the most clever believer, an absolutely clever and absolutely loyal spiritual hair.”

Ruger spoke solemnly, echoing its tone.

“Yes, my master! All! All the fur! Is the most loyal... Well, of course, it's a little lacking in cleverness. Let me think, there are some subtle differences…”

As he pondered, Miscellaneous Hair Number One summoned a group of hairy creatures and began selecting from among them.

Soon, a single hair was chosen.

Even with his powerful mental strength, Luger couldn't recognize these furry creatures, but as soon as this one appeared, it ran up to him and rubbed against his face.

This is from the previous batch of old spiritual hairs; Ruger does recall this action.

“From today onwards, you will be called Devil Number One.” Ruger looked at the spirit hair perched on his shoulder.

Since demons come in all shapes and sizes, he naturally wanted to use the resources at his disposal to make some bold attempts. Moreover, among the strange demons in the world, some were masterpieces created by special encounters under the circumstances of the world, while a large part of them were the creations of wizards.

Now he is about to create his masterpiece.

"Demon One, you may leave now."

"Ruger said in a deep voice."

Seeing his serious expression, Number One of the Miscellaneous Hairs immediately led a group of hairy creatures away, hopping and skipping.

Under the discipline of Miscellaneous Hair Number One, the thousands of spirit hairs were quite well-behaved and no longer easily caused any disturbances. Those chaotic fluctuations of spiritual energy, which could not speak, were simply torture for a sensitive wizard apprentice like him.

Ruger first used the Spirit Hair Nourishment spell to soothe the still speechless Demon Number One.

Following the notes, he began to carve along the original rune marks on the demon's heart, leaving his own arcane imprint. This demon's heart became the breeding ground for newborn demons.

This training method was not created by his teacher, but was borrowed from an interrogation technique.

One type of serious offender who keeps silent, such as a powerful demon or a certain wizard.

In this way, a special kind of insect can be cultivated in its mind. Through this continuously cultivated insect, some information can be barely obtained using special interpretation techniques.

During the cultivation process, it is essential to ensure the survival of the target organism.

This method of cultivating demons, which was adapted from existing methods, naturally requires maintaining the little demon's vitality throughout the process.

Ruger let out a long breath and completed the final arrangements.

He glanced at the spirit hair that stood obediently on his shoulder, and then activated Lesser Sharpness, casting it on his fingertips.

With a gentle slit, a small opening was made in a specific area of ​​the demon's heart, and a standard-sized piece of magic stone was carefully inserted into it. Then, a few drops of the tainted spring water that he himself had reserved dripped out, and finally, the obedient spirit-haired demon number one appeared.

"Go inside, little one."

As Ruger spoke, he didn't forget to cast a Spirit Hair Nourishment spell.

The first spirit-haired demon jumped onto the heart. Before it could speak, it imitated the first scraggly demon, slightly bending its fur in response to Luger, and then jumped into the wound of the demon's heart, which was slowly healing.

The wound healed completely shortly after Spirit Hair Demon One jumped in.

Only with each beat of the demon's heart, at the spot where the magic stone was inserted and the filthy spring was dripped, would a faint glimmer of light flash.

Luger stretched.

He placed magic stones into the empty slots on the experimental table, meditated for a while, observed for a bit, and then turned and left.

Once the demon heart is in place, it will weaken the demons, as the heart is their source of power.

In the days that followed, Da Shaheng and Aisjin became the guards of this experimental corner.

After settling in, Luger left the bedroom.

Given the changes in the Endless Sea, he dared not disappear for too long, lest he miss something important.

He stretched and pushed open the door to go out.

Just walked a few steps.

Suddenly, he twitched his nose. In the thick, lingering smell of alcohol, there seemed to be an unfamiliar scent.

As he was thinking, a figure suddenly pounced on him.

Ruger frowned and quickly dodged. As he dodged, he realized that the unfamiliar scent was coming from the guy who was lunging at him.

The lingering effects of the Lesser Sharpness spell flickered at his fingertips.
