Wizard: I devour the stars with swarms of insects.

"I'm currently conducting a witchcraft test that can significantly enhance the physical attributes of test subjects, and I'm currently lacking a suitable subject."

Upon hearing Wayne's words, Isabel shuddered, clearly realizing the hidden meaning behind his words.

"If you'd like, I'll be waiting for your answer at the White Rose Tavern near the Natural Symbiosis Wizard Tower this evening."

After saying that, Wayne didn't linger and quickened his pace to leave.

Isabel, standing behind, bit her lip, her expression hesitant and uncertain.

Without a doubt, wizards are synonymous with danger.

They conduct various thrilling and bizarre experiments year after year, and some of these experiments have terrible consequences.

Becoming a test subject means not knowing what kind of treatment you will receive, and you might even encounter something terrifying.

However, thinking about the martial arts trial a month later... this was a competition that I absolutely could not afford to lose.

Isabelle struggles with internal choices and hesitations.

But if he refuses, where can he find the help of a noble wizard apprentice?

Normally, these knights have no standing whatsoever in the eyes of the wizarding class.

To gain the favor of a wizard apprentice is already a rare and precious opportunity.

Moreover, his original request already seemed quite abrupt.

The other party is a complete stranger to me, so even if they are unwilling to help... it seems like it's only natural.

"But, if... if we could use this opportunity to make connections with this noble Lord Wayne..."

"Even the most dangerous consequences seem worth trying."

At least becoming the target of the test subject would allow me to get a little closer to this wizard apprentice.

Ultimately, after much internal struggle and deliberation, Isabel decided to accept Wayne's offer.

Because of this martial arts trial, I cannot afford to lose for the sake of my younger siblings who are still minors!

It was evening.

White Rose Tavern.

When Wayne, shrouded in a black robe, arrived near the tavern.

The knight captain, Isabel, with her long, golden-red hair, had arrived as promised and was waiting for him next to the tavern.

"My lord, I...accept your offer. As long as it can improve my strength and help me win the upcoming duel trial against the Tanlier family, I am willing to...participate in your experiment."

Isabel said, biting her lip.

Wayne's eyes lit up with satisfaction.

Seeing the other person's somewhat fearful and worried expression, Wayne smiled and comforted him.

"Don't worry, the wizard's experiments are scientific, not random. My experiments will not harm you in any way; on the contrary, they will only enhance your strength."

"These next few days, remember to eat light meals. Three days from now, also here, at the White Rose Tavern, I will rent a room to conduct the experiment. Remember to eat on an empty stomach in the morning and do not drink water. And... remember to keep it a secret! Do not leak any information about the experiment."

After all, biological experiments involving the human body are explicitly prohibited by the White Wizard Association.

After speaking, Wayne turned and left.

When Wayne returned to the Wizard Tower and went back to his room, he began to think.

How to implant modified insects into Isabelle's body and incorporate them into her hive network.

"A fruit fly imprinted with a magic model circuit can be implanted into her body and connected to the cellular network, 'connecting' Isabel as a 'node' of the cellular network, thus completing the network..."

Fruit flies are small in size and have a relatively simple neural structure, which allows them to better carry external energy circuits.

Furthermore, after appropriate material processing, it can reduce the rejection rate of human tissues.

So, what happens next?

Wayne arrived at the laboratory of the Natural Symbiosis Wizard Tower and placed the fruit flies on the culture medium.

Among the various bottles and jars in the laboratory, Wayne found a jar containing "Sleeping Flower Essence".

Take a drop of the essence and drip it into the culture medium, and a thin layer of green mist will spread out.

Next, in the pervasive green mist, the fruit flies quickly ceased their activity and entered a state of deep hibernation.

Then Wayne used some other liquids to soak the fruit flies, strictly controlling the time and temperature, to make them more receptive to the energy imprint and reduce their rejection by the human body.

It must be said that Professor Morse's laboratory was truly well-stocked with materials, as Professor Morse himself mainly researched bioengineering.

Therefore, many biological treatment agents are readily available in the laboratory.

After completing the preparations, Wayne placed the treated fruit flies in an ecosphere and took them back to his room.

Sitting on the bed, Wayne activated the Hive Intelligence in the same way he had done when the Hive Core was built.

Using his own "Spirit Binding Silk" magic, he used "Mithril" as the material for branding magic circuits.

Begin constructing a branding magic model loop on fruit flies.

Half an hour later, after being guided and sculpted by the "Spirit Binding Silk" magic.

The basic magic circuit drawn on the fruit fly has been completed, with clear, bright silver patterns covering its body surface.

Wayne soaked it in a sedative, and the implanted modified insect is now complete.

The next step was preparation for implanting it into Isabel's body. Wayne prepared some wound healing agents and muscle relaxants.

To ensure that Isabelle does not resist during the insect implantation process and thus affect the progress of the witchcraft implantation.

......

Three days later, at the White Rose Tavern, Wayne spent 2 magic stones to rent one of the rooms.

They also covered the windows inside with black cloth to prevent light from affecting their experimental process.

In the four corners of the room, biomimetic crystal lamps were placed, emitting a faint, dim light.

After Wayne was ready, there was a knock on the door. Isabel arrived on time, this time not wearing armor, but a loose-fitting robe.

Upon entering the room, the dark and gloomy environment made her feel somewhat frightened.

Although he was a martial knight who had mastered breathing techniques and swordsmanship, he was now going to become an experimental subject... and a wizard's experimental subject at that.

Thinking about the legends of various experiments by wizards inevitably makes one feel nervous, and the heart pounds.

When Wayne saw her arrive, he smiled and said...

"Don't be nervous, don't worry, it'll be quick! After today, your knightly combat abilities will be greatly enhanced!"

"Come on, lie down now and take this potion." Wayne handed her a bottle of clear, pale pink potion.

Isabel hesitated for a moment, but then she realized that since things had come to this point, there was no point in hesitating or changing her mind.

On the contrary, this would offend a great wizard.

So, she clenched her teeth and gulped it all down her throat.

After taking the medicine, Isabel soon felt dizzy.

And the limbs began to feel sore and weak.

Wayne laid her on the bed, then calmed himself and activated his sorcery, "Spirit Binding Silk," wrapping it around her limbs.

Next, under the shocked gaze of Isabel, whose limbs were weak and powerless due to the effects of muscle relaxants, she was completely unable to resist.

Wayne used his Spirit Binding Threads to pull her limbs, adjusting her into a... very shameful position, lying on the bed.

And it exposes the lower abdomen.

"Sir, this..."

This position made Isabel's cheeks flush red. She wanted to resist, but her limbs were numb and weak, and she couldn't muster any strength.

Furthermore, there were spirit-binding threads binding him like ropes, making it impossible for him to move at all.

"Keep silent, don't make a sound."

Wayne said.

I saw that Isabel was trembling and looked scared.

After thinking for a moment, he casually manipulated the Spirit Binding Silk, pulling over a black cloth from the side to cover Isabel's eyes, obscuring her beautiful eyes.

If you can't see it, you won't feel scared or nervous.

However, in this atmosphere and state, Isabel felt her cheeks flush even more and her ear tips burn.

Next, she suddenly felt her clothes being cut open in her lower abdomen.

The cold blade pressed against the area below my navel, cutting a cross-shaped wound and pulling on it.

The pain of her skin being cut open by the razor blade made her cry out in pain, "Oh my god..."
