Wizards begin with Occlumency.

Chapter 281 Constructs! Constructs!

"He brought it on himself."

Link didn't feel sorry for Loken at all.

As things have developed to this point, it's clear that Loken lacks a clear understanding of himself.

Sage Celine never tried to seduce Loken; she always stated her position directly and never concealed her affection for Paro.

It was just that Loken himself harbored illusions and was unwilling to accept the situation.

The bitter wine stings my throat and my heart aches; it's all my own doing.

Now that he's fallen to this state, no one will pity him; they'll just think it's only natural.

"Let's call it a day."

Having said that, Link ignored the three witches who, now relieved, were eager to watch the spectacle, and went straight back to the laboratory assigned to him.

The test results for the new version of the "Empowering" potion are out, just in time.

After reviewing all the test data, Link was very satisfied overall.

With his Alchemy Specialization and Materials Specialization talents, coupled with his solid knowledge and skills in potion-making, Link was able to create the potion he wanted in one go.

While the iron was hot, Link followed the recipe and crafted eight new versions of the "Empower" potion for future use.

The most distinctive feature of this version is that it serves only as a medium and does not possess any graftable capabilities itself.

Therefore, it is not intended for injection or oral administration to grant the user one or more magical abilities.

Link took out four cow-shaped monster hides containing the transplanted physical talents stripped from Loken, and took out four new versions of "Empower" potions. He applied the potions to the monster hides one by one, soaking the transplanted talent imprints that were in a sealed state.

In this way, the four carriers of transplanted talents are officially processed and can be properly preserved.

When you need it, just take it out and use it.

After finishing these tasks, Link saw that it was getting late and decided not to stay in the laboratory building any longer, returning to the villa.

Jasmine has been back from the branch office for quite some time now, and has even prepared dinner.

"You must be tired. Let's eat first."

Instead of immediately inquiring about the teaching and research group's handling of the urgent matter, Jasmine chose to let Link experience the warmth of home first.

"Um."

At this point, regardless of how tired you are, just accept the arrangements.

Moreover, Link accepted it readily.

It's a blessing to be able to come home and have a hot meal waiting for you.

After finishing their meal, the two went to the study to enjoy tea and chat.

Without Jasmine asking, Link took the initiative to tell her in detail what had happened in the teaching and research group.

The focus is not on the reckless things Loken did, nor on the process of rescuing Loken.

The real issue lies in the idea of ​​potentially creating a new school of thought, and the efforts made in two steps to realize that idea.

After listening to Link's story, Jasmine ignored Loken's gossip and pondered for a moment before solemnly asking, "What if the recipient doesn't have a transplantable talent, or isn't even a body-refining wizard?"

"That's a very important question."

Link looked at Jasmine with great admiration and smiled, "That's why I chose to reconstruct a version of the 'Empower' potion."

Jasmine suddenly realized: "Since the new version of the 'Empower' potion can be used as a medium to process the fur of magical beasts that carry transplanted talents, it can also be used as a medium to process the skin of the recipient, putting it in a special state so that transplanted talents or witchcraft-like abilities can be inscribed into it."

That's roughly the idea.

Link neither refuted Jasmine's guess nor completely confirmed it.

Link hasn't fully figured out the specifics of how to do it yet.

Everything can only be finalized after the third and fourth steps of the carrier-based implementation plan are completed, and after case studies and data are available.

Putting aside the academic topic, the two chatted for a while longer before returning to their rooms to rest.

I meditate deeply before bed as usual.

After advancing to the second level of wizardry, the self-created "Great Universe Meditation Method" had surprisingly good meditation effects.

It not only affects the efficiency and progress of meditation, but also brings additional benefits.

The celestial structure of the "solar system" in the sea of ​​consciousness is no longer just a conceptual rune structure.

It began to transform into a physical rune structure by using liquefied spiritual energy.

The existing resonance and connection between the celestial structure of the "Solar System" in the "Great Universe Meditation Method" and the solar system simulated in the "Small World" have become even closer.

Especially after undergoing the baptism of thunder in the "small world" and the absorption of the light and pure gas from the radiation source by the "sun" in the sea of ​​consciousness, these two events occurred.

The relationship between the two is subtly trending towards a "one in the shadows, one in the light, mutually reinforcing" direction.

This trend makes Link very much looking forward to the results after the changes are completed.

Unfortunately, radiation sources that can promote the evolution of individual Zerg are not common in the Wizarding World.

Almost all Zerg-related resources are monopolized by the Beastmasters of the North.

The source of the Zerg hive seed that Dean Forrest gave Link is also unknown.

Link has already ordered a batch of radiation sources through the academy's channels, but the delivery date is still far off.

Therefore, the "sun" in the sea of ​​consciousness, which is mainly formed by the favor of the wizarding world's will, will need to wait a long time before it can evolve again.

After finishing his meditation, Link went straight to sleep.

The next day.

Link and Jasmine went to class as usual during the day.

During lunch break, I took some time to check on the long-term research and experiments required for my respective courses in the laboratory donated by Dean Forrest, and to confirm the various data.

In the evening, I went to the experimental building of the Sage of Celine's Pharmacy teaching and research group to advance the work assigned to them.

Salia, Ella, and Tina each had a lot of things to do.

Of the entire Pharmacy teaching and research group, only Loken, who had luckily been promoted to a third-level wizard, was the most idle.

It's unclear whether he reported his successful promotion to the college in a timely manner.

In the educational system of Rivoss College, apprentices receive their education at the junior college, then advance to the senior college after becoming a first-level wizard, and finally study at the main campus after becoming a second-level wizard.

Each promotion is accompanied by a corresponding learning program.

Similarly, third-level wizards also need to study at the main campus of the academy, but for a shorter period of time, only six months.

After six months of advanced training, they will be sent to various sage legions for practical combat training.

In other words, Loken's successful promotion actually reduced the amount of time he could spend at the academy's main campus.

Is this a form of escapism?

On his way to the office, Link suddenly had this idea.

He immediately suppressed his distracting thoughts and went into his office.

Just as she sat down, before starting work, Molly said, "Buck and Lynn messaged me saying they've chosen a wedding gift for Asander. How's your preparation going?"

"It won't embarrass Asander."

Thinking of the magical artifacts he had crafted, Link smiled and kept it a secret.

"Virtue!"

Jasmine rolled her eyes at Link, abandoned her plan to stay there a little longer, and went to her own office.

Link didn't try to stop her, letting Jasmine be a little temperamental.

After watching Jasmine leave, Link immediately focused on his work, pulling out the materials he had collected in his spare time and reading them carefully.

These materials are all related to Link's ideas.

So many years, so many wizards, they've practically walked every path imaginable.

There are at least similar or related explorations, research, and experiments.

The surviving materials and documents have extremely high reference value.

Just as Link was engrossed in reading the materials and documents, Sage Seren and Wizard Renee suddenly returned from the fairy world to the main campus of the academy and came directly to the teaching and research laboratory building.

The first thing Salia, Ella, and Tina did was to give a full report on what had happened the day before.

Sage Serene and Renee reacted differently after hearing this.

"Serves you right!"

Wizard Renee directly mocked, "This person never recognizes his own limitations and often does such reckless things."

"Rennie".

Sage Celine called out, giving her a warning to stop talking, but she didn't blame her.

"You two go ahead and get busy."

After instructing Ella and Tina, Sage Seren said to Salia, "Take me to see Loken."

Ella and Tina bowed to Sage Serene and Wizard Renee in turn, and then withdrew.

Salia led the way, bringing Sage Serene and Wizard Renee to the observation room on the third basement level.

Through the one-way mirror, I could see Loken sitting in the corner, lifeless like a statue.

Wizard Renee didn't react much, only sighing inwardly that a reckless person doing reckless things had accidentally advanced to the third level of wizardry.

Sage Celine frowned slightly, her feelings complicated.

Over the years, she has taken good care of Locken, for a very simple reason.

More than a decade ago, Paro Sigma, then a level three wizard and the commander of a main force regiment of a certain Sage Legion, needed a body-refining wizard to take on the assault duties of a certain special forces squad.

Not long after being promoted to a first-level wizard, Loken, who had just finished his internship at the advanced academy, stepped forward and switched to body wizarding.

Sage Celine had promised at that time that she would solve the problem of the shortage of body-refining potions needed by body-refining wizards.

Unfortunately, due to time constraints, heavy workload, and non-overlapping research areas, the wizard Celine was unable to develop a suitable potion and could only have Loken purchase general body-refining potions with toxic side effects from the market.

This matter has always been a thorn in the heart of Sage Celine, who believes that she bears some responsibility for the changes in Loken's personality and behavior, which have become increasingly "brainless" and reckless.

Therefore, seeing Loken at this moment, Sage Celine was not in a good mood.

But she listened to what Renee had advised her a few days ago.

Now that she wants to put pressure on Paro and make him pursue her instead, she must sort out her own interpersonal relationships.

There must be no ambiguity or unclear aspects, lest it arouse suspicion.

Everything else is irrelevant; the one thing I must do is to dispel Loken's delusions, whom I keep by my side.

Although what the witch Renee said yesterday was true, it was quite excessive and really hurt Loken's pride.

However, it was with the approval of Sage Celine, not on the advice of Wizard Renee.

Its purpose was to dispel Loken's delusions.

Judging from the current situation, Wizard Renee's words had a very good effect.

With mixed feelings, Sage Celine carefully reviewed yesterday's data records and the measures Link had taken, her attention instantly diverted.

The more I watched, the more astonished I became, and the more I felt that Link's handling of the situation was full of ingenuity.

She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did Link tell you yesterday what he did?"

"no."

Salia replied truthfully, "He didn't say, and we didn't ask. Even if he had said or asked, we might not have understood."

"Alright."

Sage Celine thought about it and realized that was indeed the case.

Judging from the surgical video alone, even Sage Celine could only understand the operational part.

As for the deeper meaning behind it, I haven't figured it out yet.

Wizard Renee then said, "Why don't you just invite him down and let him explain it to you in person?"

"Too."

The wizard Celine nodded and glanced at Salia.

"I'll go right away."

Sally immediately understood and turned to go upstairs.

Before long, Link arrived at the observation room on the third basement level.

Sage Seren is playing back the recording of Link's actions from yesterday, frame by frame, studying it carefully.

"Link, we invited you here to hear your thoughts on your actions yesterday."

Sensing Link's arrival, Sage Celine rewound the surgical recording to the beginning and spoke sincerely.

"Well……"

Link organized his thoughts and gave a detailed account of everything from discovering the reason for Loken's abnormality to the two treatment methods and the idea triggered by the talent of stripping and transplanting.

The witch Renee was greatly shocked after hearing this.

If Link's vision could be realized and widely implemented, she felt that the wizarding world was about to usher in a revolution similar to "Omnic Wizards".

Even if its scale and impact are far less, the sensation it can cause will be very large, at least within the West Coast region.

Moreover, this is not only a personal honor for Link Grand, but will also greatly enhance the influence of the Serene Sage's Potion Research Group.

After all, the entire process of generating and realizing this idea was carried out within the Serene Sage's Pharmacology Research Group!

As a member of the research team, Renee Clark also benefited greatly from it.

It sounds exciting!

Sage Celine pondered for a long while before asking, "What are your plans for the future?"

Link glanced at Loken, who was sitting blankly in the corner of the isolation room: "If he's willing, I'd like to transplant the physical talent that was extracted from him back into him first."

Upon hearing this, Sage Celine seemed to ponder for a moment, and then said, "I will ask Loken to see if he is willing."

After speaking, Sage Celine opened the communication system between the observation room and the isolation room, and explained the fact that Loken's transplant talents had been stripped away, as well as the possibility of transplanting these talents back.

The text makes no mention of Link's ideas, only asking if he would be willing to undertake an experimental trial.

"bring it on."

Even upon hearing Sage Celine's voice, Loken's eyes remained lifeless, and he replied sullenly, "I agree."

Sage Celine ended the communication and looked at Link: "What preparations need to be made?"

Link replied, "Normal preparations are fine."

After that, the Serene Sage's Pharmacology Research Group quickly got to work.

All preparations for a surgery are completed at an extremely fast pace in a very short time.

Loken lay on the operating table, his limbs and forehead bound, but he refused deep anesthesia.

Link was the lead surgeon, with Sage Serenity and Jasmine as his assistants, while Renee, Salia, Ella, and Tina observed.

"start."

After saying a few words, Link loosely clenched his right hand, and with a thought, the "scalpel" reappeared.

This time, the "scalpel" did not pierce the heart directly, but was gently placed on the skin's surface, creating hundreds or thousands of small punctures in accordance with the shape of the body's innate "rapid self-healing" ability.

The long-unused, newly upgraded "Lesser Mist Rain" spell has finally been favored by Link.

A bottle of the new "Empowering" potion was transformed into tiny droplets that seeped into the small opening that pierced the skin.

After the drug droplets filled the small opening, they sequentially built connections, forming a complete cycle.

The "scalpel" held in his right hand disappeared, and with a flick of his index finger, the beast pelt carrying the body's innate "rapid self-healing" ability floated above Loken's chest.

The brand on the beast's fur aligned perfectly with the circulating droplets of potion on Loken's chest skin.

Link lightly patted the beast's fur with his right hand, shaking out the talent mark that had been sealed by the True Spirit Wizard's magic and then treated by the new version of the "Empower" potion.

Almost simultaneously with the expulsion of the monster's fur, a connection was formed between the two new "empowering" potions, which were used in different ways.

The "Rapid Self-Healing" talent mark, following this connection, merged into Loken's chest at near the speed of light, entering his heart.

A faint pattern appeared on the skin of his chest.

After doing all this, Link nodded to Sage Celine.

Sage Celine understood and compared the test results to determine the difference in Loken's self-healing ability before and after the surgery.

"success."

"The comparison is over," Sage Seren said briefly.

This greatly encouraged Link.

So far, his vision has been put into practice very smoothly.

In one fell swoop, Link transplanted the remaining three physical talents back into Loken's body.

Not a single failure; all were successful.

Moreover, it did not trigger an "immune rejection" reaction of the newly awakened talent to the transplanted physical talent.

"It's a success!"

Link watched as Loken, having finished his surgery, arrived at the isolation room for various tests, arranged by Sage Celine, and muttered to himself.

In the future, we will further refine the relevant theories and practices, expand the sample size, conduct statistical analysis, and obtain data.

A concept called "Constructs" and a school of thought called "Construct Wizards" may first spread in the Rivosos region and even the West Coast.

The worst-case scenario is that Link's attempt to create a new school of wizardry fails, but he does create a profession called "Constructor".

In any case, Link made a fortune.

In short, they've won big!
