Wizard: Start consuming attributes from the equipment slot.

The reason I say "simple" is not because the action itself is simple, but because the thought process and the conditions for the final modification are very simple.

As the saying goes, every gain has its loss. Although becoming a Great Knight means that the awakened life seed within the body will prevent the body from generating magic power, the life seed also gives the Great Knight a physique and recovery ability far beyond that of ordinary people.

It sounds cruel, but the Great Knight is indeed a very suitable test subject for physical alchemy!

Supported by his tenacious vitality, his body can undergo extensive physical alchemy modifications, and he will not die easily due to some minor abnormal reactions or aftereffects.

There is actually a fairly standard procedure for safely performing physical alchemy on a human body.

Since this is the most basic knowledge and function of the discipline of physical alchemy, once Viktor has mastered the process of physical modification after a period of time, he can start to conduct small-scale experiments.

Once you get the hang of it, modifying Garr isn't a difficult task.

As for whether Gar would agree... Victor didn't think that was a problem.

However, since the matter was already settled in secret, Victor wasn't prepared to tell Garr about this idea right now. Firstly, the conditions weren't right yet, and secondly, he actually wanted to learn more about the methods of bloodline wizards... Body alchemy and bloodline modification came from the same source. If Garr could be given a powerful bloodline on top of body alchemy modification, his potential might not be any less than that of most wizards!

......

Garr, of course, was unaware that Viktor was prepared to dismember him. Upon seeing Viktor enter the courtyard, he composed himself and greeted him:

"Your Highness, you've returned just in time."

Viktor paused slightly.

"What happened? Has something happened?"

Garr shook his head:

"Nothing happened, sir."

"However, this morning, Viper sent someone with a message."

Viktor nodded slightly and waved for him to come inside with him.

Once the two entered the living room, Victor found a seat and then gestured for him to continue.

"It was probably shortly after you left for the academy that Viper came looking for you, seeking your help."

Victor raised an eyebrow:

"You want my help?"

"Didn't you just give this guy three magic stones last time?"

"In the end, all he brought me was some junk. My patience with him is almost gone, and this guy still has the nerve to come to me for help?"

"That's right, Your Highness. Last time, he did take three magic stones again, saying he needed some funds to buy clues." Gal's expression was very calm. He looked down on Viper, but as long as it was beneficial to Viktor, he wouldn't actively influence Viktor's judgment because of personal likes or dislikes.

He then added:

"However, this time, he does seem to have found some rather unusual clues."

"Oh?"

Viktor was somewhat surprised:

"What clues did you find?"

Garr replied:

"It's about the underground pipes in Morningstar City."

"According to him, he learned from some people that there are many corpses and various magical artifacts left behind in the underground pipes of Morningstar City. So it seems that he wants to find a way to take over the cleaning of the underground pipes in the West District."

"But his snake venom gang alone doesn't seem to be enough, even though it has grown quite a bit recently, so he wants you to back him up."

Viktor listened quietly, but couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"Is this guy... using me as a tool to show off whenever he wants?"

"Or has the Snake Venom Gang's recent outrageous behavior made him arrogant?"

"I also think he's gotten a bit arrogant lately, Your Highness." Gar remained calm, but this time he reached out and took out a small piece from his person, handing it to Viktor: "But this time, it seems he really has found something valuable in the underground pipes."

Viktor was taken aback by Gal's words, and took the thing Gal handed him and examined it carefully.

It was a crystalline fragment resembling glass, with mottled edges and broken corners, making it look like a roadside stone, but it emitted a very unique, eerie green color.

And the moment his palm touched it, Viktor could clearly sense that this thing was incredibly hot, and contained an abnormal amount of magic... He frowned, clenched his fist, and looked up at Gar:

"This is... a magical crystal containing the power of death?"

"Did he find this in the underground pipes?"

"Is there anything else besides this?"

Garr nodded:

"If Viper wasn't lying, he said there was something like this, stretching for at least tens of meters, attached to the underground pipes."

Upon hearing this answer, Viktor momentarily held his breath, closed his eyes and pondered for a moment before opening them again. He then brought the object in his hand to his eyes once more, examining it and reflecting on it.

This thing... "Magic Crystal" is actually not very rare, but it's not very common either. It's usually used as an auxiliary material for wizards to perform alchemy or potion making.

The reason it is not considered rare is that, if other factors are not taken into account, magic crystals can be artificially created by wizards.

Not to mention Victor, even Vivian, who had only recently become a wizard, could create it.

Because the essence of this thing is a unique phenomenon caused by magic coming into contact with matter in the real world. In addition to being actively created by wizards, it can also condense and appear on its own in some high-magic environments that meet certain conditions.

The reason why this thing is not common is that creating a magic crystal requires not only a lot of magic power, but also a considerable amount of time... For a formal wizard, creating a high-quality magic crystal may only take one or two hours.

However, for wizard apprentices, even advanced wizard apprentices, it takes several days to create a magic crystal, and the magic supply cannot be interrupted during the process, otherwise the environment for generating the magic crystal will disappear, and the creation will fail.

So in terms of price, this thing is neither too high nor too low.

The price ranges from approximately 150 grams per magic stone to 500 grams per magic stone, with significant price fluctuations depending on quality, and the price difference can be more than three times.

If what the viper said is true, and he really did see magic crystals in the underground pipes that could extend and cover dozens of meters, and these crystals were of the same high quality as the one in his hand.

Even Victor couldn't immediately estimate the exact value... 10,000 magic stones? 20,000 magic stones? 100,000 magic stones?

He couldn't help but shake his head, banishing the numbers that had appeared in his mind, calming down, and staring intently at the green crystal in his hand:

"Even if the quantity is outrageously large, there is a limit to the number of wizards. If such a large batch of magic crystals were to circulate on the market, the market price of magic crystals would likely crash immediately."

Even if these magic crystals are of high quality, they still won't fetch a high price!

"But... no matter what, this is still an unimaginable fortune... I can't possibly swallow it all by myself!"
