Ivo Zorgan's diary:
On July 24, 1794, it rained heavily.
Today, one of the assistants who participated in father's experiment came back and handed grandpa a stack of paper, which was said to be some of father's research materials and needs.
After the assistant left, grandpa found me and showed me the drawings.
The contents on the drawing looked a bit strange, including arms, legs, and even things that looked like internal organs. I was quite interested. Could it be that my father was making a crystal golem?
Well, I hope my father will come back soon. Even with the help of my grandfather and mother, I am still a little tired of running the family. The life I expect should be a little easier.
...
"Master, I think you should calm down." Lu Silan reminded him involuntarily.
"I'm calm, Luslan." Selim walked in front of Luslan. All Luslan could see was a slightly stooped back, "Also, what are you referring to?"
"I think you've been pushing yourself a little too much during this time." Lu Silan sighed.
Selim stood still and turned to look at Luslan. His face was expressionless, but his eyes were slightly dim.
"I always see hope but am disappointed, you know Lu Silan."
Walking a little closer to the wall and leaning against it, Selim took a breath: "Do you know why Homero left?"
"...I know." Lu Silan nodded.
"Actually, it's not just Homero, you, and Tver, all have doubts or wavers." Selim looked up at the ceiling, "I know, I know everything."
"But there are some things that you must do even if you know them. Moreover, now that my hands are stained with blood, I have to let this experiment be completed." Selim lowered his head and looked at With his own hands, his tone was trembling, "It must be completed!"
Lu Silan stood beside him, saying nothing, but letting out a long sigh in his heart.
Homero and Tver feel guilty and resistant, doesn’t Selim feel guilty and resistant?
He could feel it too, but he had to do it.
At least in Selim's own world, he had to do it.
"You're right, maybe I should take a break." Selim patted Luslan on the shoulder, "Please accompany me for a walk around London later, just like last time."
"......good."
...
The sun had begun to tilt a little. This time, Selim and Luslan did not take a carriage, but walked from the suburbs to London.
"The fresh air, I haven't felt it for a while." Selim said with a slight sigh while looking at the grass and trees on the roadside.
Suddenly, the noise in front attracted their attention.
"A group of children?" Selim was a little confused.
"This place is very close to London. It's possible that there are children playing here." Lu Silan's eyes focused on one of the children again.
Selim didn't notice that he was in no mood to stop and watch a group of children: "Let's go into the city quickly, I'm a little hungry."
Grain basket
"good."
This time of relaxation obviously did not play a role in relaxing the mind. The atmosphere of drastic changes in London was also overwhelming.
"By the way, Master Ivo sent someone to deliver a letter to you before?" Lu Silan ate a piece of hard and salty toast as he walked.
"Ah, that." Selim was also holding a piece of bread and chewing on it. "It seems to be about the changes within the clock tower and whether the modern magic subject should be included in the twelve subjects that are currently eleven."
"Due to the recent rise of industry, the magic world has also been greatly affected. This emerging discipline has gradually become impossible to ignore, so this kind of voice has been there two years ago, but I didn't expect it to become more and more intense at this time." Se Lim looked uninterested.
"Then what's your response?" Lu Silan couldn't help but ask.
"Give me some support. Although I'm not very interested in the genre itself, I have a hunch that those who preside over the development will usually succeed. This is the general trend." He laughed, as if he was mocking something, "So a It will definitely become a school of twelve subjects. If we don’t support it, why should we offend it instead?”
"That's it..." Lu Silan's expression was incomprehensible. It was indeed the thinking mode of the head of a big family...
The atmosphere along the way was a bit dull, and the road at night was still filled with heat, making people anxious.
Accompanied by this slightly depressing atmosphere, the experiment in this laboratory ushered in its third stage.
"Tver, amputate your left arm." Selim put the android in front of him into a large-format pose and said to his assistant, "I'm in charge of the right arm, Luslan, take note of the record. Don’t leave out details.”
"I understand." The two of them nodded together.
Selim cut off the magic circuits on the androids and used special means to keep them active.
The two arms of the android woman were removed and the bleeding was quickly stopped.
"I'll give you a demonstration. Pay attention, Tver."
Selim took out a sparkling gem arm from the container behind him and placed it next to the artificial man's arm.
He first skillfully transformed the magic circuit in his real arm into a living body, but this time, he had to go deeper.
Then the completely imprinted, but still active, body is removed from the body.
"This is a theory that has been verified before. It will not fail. Pay attention and be fast." Selim said without raising his head. "Make good use of our water-based magic power."
Ingest the vitality, and then quickly take out the magic circuit that is completely imprinted in the living body.
"This is...the materialized magic circuit..." Tver murmured as he looked at the strip of faint blue light emitting in Selim's palm.
Selim ignored him and placed the object on the gem arm.
"...Successful, this is the prototype." When the light imprinting the magic circuit could no longer be seen, Selim finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This proved one thing: he was not wrong in the direction he was heading, and he was right to continue researching in this direction.
Subsequently, under Selim's auspices, similar operations to the above were performed on the other three limbs and the trunk below the thoracic spine.
“Try to connect the upper body first, then the lower torso, and finally the legs.”
The laboratory with only three people was moving forward slowly and in full swing.
But at the end, when the last crystal lower limb was connected to the crystal torso, the android's eyes suddenly opened.
Then, her remaining body collapsed in a familiar and painful way that the three people saw.
