Wizard: I devour the stars with swarms of insects.

boom--!

Upon hearing this, Isabel was momentarily stunned before suddenly realizing what was happening. Her lake-green eyes trembled with excitement and ecstasy.

His voice trembled uncontrollably as he spoke, overcome with excitement and nervousness.

"Yes, yes, sir! The Isabelle family awaits your arrival at any time. You... whenever you have time to come, just let us know!"

"Okay, I'll make time and go there."

"My appetite has become quite picky lately in Victoria Territory, and now I'm eating those devilishly delicious meals at the academy every day. It's really unbearable."

"Yes, Lord Wayne, we will certainly serve you the most delicious food and our best dishes!"

Next, Isabel, suppressing her ecstatic and excited emotions, turned around and cheered as she left after saying goodbye.

Wayne couldn't help but chuckle, a slightly amused expression on his face.

He knew perfectly well why the female knight captain was so excited.

In the cruel and cold medieval feudal society, how easy was it for a woman to support and protect her family's territory and her younger siblings?

For her fallen family, the arrival and visit of a wizard itself signified a message to the outside world.

This will deter many covetous eyes on her family's territory, as well as all sorts of ill-intentioned individuals.

This was a reward for her hard work and good performance during her trip to the Earldom of Victoria.

And... it's a much more valuable reward than any other potion or dawn potion!

This is the status of wizards in secular dynasties!

After Isabel left, Wayne returned to the Wizard Tower.

I had originally planned to report to my mentor Morse that the mission had been successfully completed, but when I went upstairs and arrived at my mentor Morse's laboratory...

It was discovered that Mentor Morse was not in the Wizard Tower.

"Dear apprentice, Lord Morse is currently out collecting experimental materials and is not at the academy. Please contact him again in a few days."

Inside the laboratory, the tentacle monster Pok spoke in a bloated voice.

And this time the voice has changed again, becoming a high-pitched voice that sounds somewhat like a woman's.

I wonder if Professor Morse replaced this guy's brain with some strange biological one again.

However, these things are none of my business.

Wayne shook his head and left the lab.

Back in his room, Wayne thought for a moment, then got up and opened a box that Isabel and the others had moved into his room earlier.

It contained all sorts of items, all of which were things he had acquired on this trip.

Next, Wayne retrieved the metal test tube containing pink maggots that he had collected from the sewers of Greyhawk Keep.

Furthermore, he took out the subcutaneous tissue, flesh, and spikes of the leech monster that he had put inside the conical flask from his suitcase and placed them on the table in front of him.

Next, he flipped his wrist and placed the portable basic alchemy and experimental tools he had obtained from "looting" von Herwin on the table.

Now, looking into the metal test tube in front of him, Wayne opened the stopper of the metal test tube, and sure enough, after the stopper was opened...

Suddenly a sharp black shadow attacked, but Wayne was already prepared.

So the thorny tongues from beneath the sleeves swept out, and with a clang, the ejected blades knocked the incoming black shadow to the side.

It is these pink, maggot-like worms that emit those sharp, black spikes.

After launching a spike, it will take a short break to allow the sharp spike to regenerate within its body.

Wayne then used tweezers to remove the pink worm from the test tube and place it in a nearby experimental container.

Wayne's eyes gleamed as he gazed at the pink worm inside the glass bottle.

These pink, fleshy worms have soft limbs and resemble maggots.

But why can it fire such sharp, black spikes?

and......

Next, Wayne opened another conical flask.

Inside were the subcutaneous tissue of that leech monster from the sewers, as well as its mouthparts, spikes from muscle fissures, and other tissues and organs.

"Despite its soft body, it can produce such hard and sharp offensive 'weapons' inside. I wonder if we could try to transplant this characteristic onto... our own fruit flies?"

Wayne's eyes flickered.

Because my fruit flies still only have basic "reconnaissance" functions.

Furthermore, during this investigation of the sewer leech monster, one of these pinkish-red worms was knocked down.

At that time, I already had an idea in my mind.

Since these pink worms, which are so soft and have such fragile limbs, can shoot out such sharp weapons.

It could even injure the eye of a knight's guard.

Could we try to improve upon these characteristics and modify them to create an "armed fruit fly"?

So, what happens next?

With a thought, Wayne investigated the last three basic fruit flies remaining in his mind.

One of the fruit flies was shot down and destroyed by the spikes fired by the pink worm in the sewer.

Now, the last three remaining are projected into the space in front of us, hovering in the air around them, accompanied by a buzzing sound.

When breeding the first generation of fruit flies, there were only 5 fruit flies in total.

At that time, due to the limitations of my mental strength, I was unable to control and manage more fruit flies simultaneously.

Therefore, the number has remained at 5.

However, after reaching the mental strength of a second-class wizard apprentice, he was able to control up to 100 fruit flies at the same time.

Through this epidemic in the Victoria Territory, I have fully realized the application of the "cluster" effect.

It was by detecting the movement of a thousand fleas that he discovered the reason for the endless stream of gray rats.

Later, by matching the number of infected citizens on a map, it was discovered that the sewer from which the water was drawn was the true source of the infection.

"We should take this opportunity to carry out a second round of improvement on fruit flies, and after selecting a variety of strains, we can then conduct large-scale breeding."

"After all, the swarm of insects is the foundation upon which I grow. When I meditate and attempt to break through to the first-class wizard apprentice level, I will need these fruit flies to distribute my mental energy and help me meditate!"

So, without hesitation, Wayne packed everything back into his backpack and headed to the lab.

Once inside the lab, Wayne used tweezers to place a pink worm into a test tube.

"The first thing I need to do is extract it..."
