Chapter 33 Experiment (I)

The first step in constructing a spell framework is to fix the nodes.

Just like building a house and laying the foundation.

The second step is to connect these nodes. With the experience gained in the first step, the second step is relatively simple.

Following the method in the magic book, connect the different nodes with mental power in the prescribed order.

There are a total of forty-seven nodes, and with the connection order between different nodes, there are countless possibilities for the connection between the nodes alone. And this is only a zero-ring spell. Lynn has no idea how much time and effort the wizard who invented this spell actually spent.

Connecting nodes is simpler than fixing nodes. Lynn found that it only took about ten minutes to connect two nodes. Perhaps it was a matter of practice making perfect, because Lynn was very efficient.

He estimated that it would take at most one day, tomorrow, to complete the connection between all the nodes.

Stretching, I noticed the metal magic cube at the foot of the bed spinning in the room, casting a beam of light through its gaps.

Lynn appeared in the bedroom.

Lynn's bedroom was a small room on the third floor, near the attic, with good ventilation.

On the desk by the window were two books and a mechanical alarm clock.

These two books, the Kingdom Chronicle and the Herdinger Botany, were bought for Lynn by her brother Borg when he went out to the bookstore.

Bangor Port truly lives up to its reputation as a city at the forefront of the kingdom, as bookstores have already appeared here, although they sell very few books.

The Kingdom Chronicles record the history of the Kingdom of Erdoru, and the best way to understand a country is to start with its history.

However, Lynn flipped through the book and then tossed it aside. The entire book was filled with embellished language, and even the history of the invasion of the Southern Kingdom was changed to the recovery of lost territory.

The entire book is filled with praise and flattery of royalty and nobility, with almost no useful content.

This actually gave Lynn a better understanding of the kingdom's nobles.

Besides the royal family, the Kingdom of Erdoru has two princes, three dukes, six marquises, ten earls, and hundreds of viscounts and barons.

However, after the kingdom was established, a prince attempted to rebel and seize the throne. He was defeated by the king of that generation, who then killed all the rebels and wiped out his bloodline. Now, only one prince's bloodline remains in the kingdom.

The three dukes are the Duke of Phoenix Tail, the Duke of Cuckoo, and the Duke of Golden Lion.

The most valiant warrior recorded in the book is not the seemingly most formidable Duke of the Golden Lion, but the Duke of the Cuckoo, whose territory is said to be located in the far north of the kingdom, where he defends the kingdom against northern enemies.

Therefore, the Duke of the Cuckoo was also known as the Blood Cuckoo, because it is said that the red color of the cuckoo in their family crest was cast with the blood of their enemies.

The Dukes of Luanwei have maintained good relations with the royal family for generations, and a fertile forest within the kingdom is their territory.

The Golden Lion Duke's territory was located in the western part of the kingdom, and there wasn't much information about it in the book.

Compared to this book, another book gave Lynn even more surprises.

Heddings' Botany records the appearance and uses of many plants, some of which are the materials Lynn needs to make his bodily active agents.

Although the names and appellations differ, this is due to regional differences and is mainly determined by the characteristics of the plants themselves.

The main ingredient required for this medicine is a material called the Glowing Mushroom.

This luminescent mushroom thrives in cool, damp environments and is rich in bioactive compounds.

This mushroom is also recorded in plant encyclopedias, and its name in the Kingdom of Erdor is "Cave Living Mushroom".

Locals generally use it as a medicine to treat external injuries, but because long-term and frequent external application of Cave Blood Mushroom can easily cause granulation tissue to grow on the surface of the wound, this is considered its biggest side effect.

So over time, locals rarely used it anymore.

These folk remedies were only used by the poor and destitute to treat external injuries, since few wealthy people would be willing to have granulation tissue or tumors growing on their bodies... The poor didn't care about these things, or rather, even if they did, there was nothing they could do, since they were covered by clothes and couldn't see them anyway.

However, in recent years, with the opening of Bangor Port, some knowledge from other kingdoms has been introduced.

With better alternatives available for treating external injuries, this cave-dwelling mushroom was gradually phased out.

Lynn asked Borg to go to the market to buy some cave-growing mushrooms and to the pharmacy to buy other medicinal herbs for his potions.

That evening, Lynn went down to the restaurant for dinner, and Hamilton hesitated several times before speaking.

After dinner, Lynn wiped his mouth clean and asked, "Father, is there something you need?"

"I've been discussing this with your mother these past few days. Although we have some money, it will eventually run out. I'm thinking of opening a tailor shop with your mother. What do you think?" Hamilton said hesitantly.

"Okay," Lynn said happily.

It would be good if the father and mother could find something to do.

Although Lynn didn't know how much longer he could stay here, he had a vague feeling that Bangor Port was not the end of his life.

It's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish. It might be good if they can find a stable job.

"This money is all earned by you. After deducting your daily food and drink expenses from the income earned by the tailor shop, half of it will be left to you, and the other half will be saved by your mother and me for Borg and Ava. Do you think that's okay?" Hamilton said.

Lynn shook her head.

Seeing this, Hamilton quickly said, "Then I'll keep them all for you."

"Don't leave me any money; you can use the money from the tailor shop yourselves," Lynn said.

Hamilton suddenly froze, looking at Lynn's face, as if he had guessed something.

His lips twitched slightly, and he lowered his forehead.

In the days since he returned, he has never asked Lynn how he got back, how he acquired his skills, or how he brought Ava back.

Even now, he still has a surreal feeling, and he's afraid it's all just a dream.

Every day, Annika would cook Lynn his favorite fennel fish soup. Lynn liked spicy food, so she would add some chopped red chilies to the fennel fish soup.

"Brother, these are the medicinal herbs I bought at the pharmacy, all the ones you wanted. Also, the glassware you asked me to inquire about. I heard that a foreign merchant seems to have some, but I didn't see him today." Borg handed the bag in his hand to Lynn, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at his brother.

He had always felt that his older brother was smarter than him, and after returning this time, he felt even more that his brother was shrouded in mystery.

This feeling is fatally attractive to a child his age.

In the evening, Lynn sat at her desk reading books.

Lauren placed one hand on the balcony, then flipped over and jumped onto the balcony.

Hearing a familiar voice behind him, Lynn lowered his head and continued drawing the blueprints.

On the slightly yellowed paper, he used a pencil to draw the shapes of the vessels needed to make the potion.

"Still haven't found it?" Lynn asked habitually.

Lauren shook her head. "We didn't find them."

When buying the house, Lynn also bought the small building next door, and Lauren moved in there.

At Lynn's request, Borg would go to the market every day to buy some food and put it at the door of the house next door.

Lynn nodded. Actually, he had another purpose in buying the experimental equipment.

That is to try to conduct experiments.

Through observing the patterns over this period, Lynn discovered that triggering daily tasks required specific circumstances.

He deliberately messed up the equipment in the alchemy lab and then rearranged it, but this method did not trigger the gain of experience points.

He then cooked at his current residence, but did not trigger any daily tasks.

This forced Lynn to think about the reasons.

Lynn believes that the reason why daily quests could be triggered in the cabin might not be as simple as cooking food.

It should be related to the animal being raised and its condition at the time.

Was it because it was a task assigned to me by my wizard teacher? Or was it related to the fact that the creatures I was being fed included magical beings?

Lynn made a bold guess: perhaps only after conducting a complete experiment and then cleaning up the laboratory could he gain experience points.

Furthermore, since you can gain experience points by cleaning up the lab, there's no reason why you shouldn't get a reward for completing an experiment.

The benefits of conducting a complete experiment yourself might be greater than those of tidying up a laboratory.
