"Stop it!"
Radak was completely panicked and immediately withdrew all his power. The huge golem stopped moving, and then a sharp sound wave continued to echo in the sealed laboratory.
The magic missile that was close at hand also seemed to be affected by some kind of violent impact, and soon exploded with a bang.
But Ladakh didn't feel the slightest joy, because after the magic shell was broken, the hot white phosphorus flames inside spurted out, and soon contaminated the azure gemstone.
The originally sharp and magical [Soul Scream] immediately turned into a painful wail...
The remaining dozen or so coffins in the secret room began to tremble violently.
Lin En had already held a fireball in his hand, and with the sound of gems breaking, a transparent resentful spirit appeared in the secret room, its face ferocious and twisted, as if it was carrying countless pain and resentment.
Probably because the load was broken and severely damaged, its figure was extremely illusory and could not even compare to the previous sorcerer's apprentice. The air medium was like sharp knives, constantly consuming the few people in Ladakh. the power of.
The screams and wailing lasted for more than half a minute before ending abruptly. The illusory spirit body soon completely collapsed in front of Lin En...
Lin En was finally freed from the influence of [Soul Scream]. He knew that he had guessed correctly. Since all the people controlled were corpses, Ladak must have kept his souls elsewhere. .
Something similar to a lich's phylactery.
The target he chose was the azure gemstone used as a searchlight on the experimental bench.
I have to say that Ladak has a very bad taste and uses his soul for lighting.
If it weren't for the previous few experiments, he found that the magical response of this thing was very strong, and he probably wouldn't be able to associate it with this thing.
Under Lin En's control, the blazing white phosphorus fire in the secret room gradually extinguished, and what was left was a ruin. Hundreds of coffins had been burned. The only ones that were intact were the golem made of mithril and the one behind the experimental bench. A whole bookshelf is filled with magic books.
"Biological Materials and Ectoplasm", "Detailed Explanation of Psionic Magic", "Advanced Potions"...
Linn glanced at the bookshelf. In addition to a large number of books on psychic powers and potions, there were also many research notes.
But he didn't have time to look through it, and he didn't even have time to clean up the messy secret room, so he used shaping magic to transform into Radak's appearance, opened the door to the secret room and walked out.
The castle was in chaos at the moment, and Linn was not surprised by this situation.
Unavoidable that he would be disturbed when dealing with Ladakh, Lin En took advantage of his identity as an assistant to do some tricks in the place where the defective products were kept.
Calculating the time, it should have taken effect.
However, the castle's guards were more powerful than he thought. By the time Linn arrived at the front hall, several rioting defectives had already been subdued.
"Sir Ladak... Experimental subjects No. 12, 27, and 32 suddenly broke free from their cages. The casualties are being counted. For the time being, the cause has not been found out."
After seeing Lin En's figure, Coleman and others immediately knelt down and made a report tremblingly.
This time the riot of the experimental subjects was very inexplicable, and no one could be found to take the blame for it. Everyone was extremely worried that Ladak would pour his anger on himself.
Linn glanced at Coleman indifferently and said in a tone that seemed to be suppressing anger. "It was Timis who did it! He was an agent sent by the Nordland Magic Workshop and wanted to steal an important research result..."
Although Linn did not explicitly explain what to do with 'Timis', everyone could guess that 'Timis' death must be very tragic.
"I knew there must be something wrong with Timis..." Bock shouted excitedly.
Ever since Timis became a preliminary assistant based on his previous research achievements, he has been resentful, thinking that he had contributed a lot to that experiment, but all the achievements were taken away by the other party.
Now that he heard that Timis was unlucky, Bock couldn't help but feel a twisted sense of pleasure in his heart.
However, after seeing Linn's glance, the excited expression on Bock's face suddenly stopped, because he suddenly thought of recruiting Timis as his assistant, and it was the adult who personally nodded in agreement.
Fortunately, Linn didn't pay attention to what he meant. Instead, he turned to look at Coleman and spoke again. "Colman, please continue to investigate for me. No one can be spared. I want to see how many rats there are in this castle!"
"I understand, Lord Radak." Coleman quickly replied.
Hearing this, all the apprentices' expressions changed, and they all looked at each other with a hint of wariness.
This is exactly what Lin En wants to achieve, to put everyone in the castle into a situation of mutual surveillance and suspicion. In this way, even if he shows some weird things, no one will suddenly become crazy. , and began to doubt whether the 'Ladakh' man in front of him was genuine.
Immediately afterwards, Linn began to arrange for personnel to clean up the wreckage and count the losses.
Since Ladakh usually has a lot of power, Linn found that there was almost no obstacle to his command, because no one dared to question his orders.
In other words, as long as his identity is not revealed, everything in the entire magic workshop can be used at his will.
…
After arranging the affairs in the castle, Linn did not delay and returned to the secret room to start sorting out Ladak's relics, especially the experimental notes. The magic knowledge in them was the greatest treasure.
"Logan flower, requiem grass, hag's claws, magic mulberry root... plus ectoplasm?"
Lin En sat in front of the cold experimental table, flipping through a research notebook in his hand. What was recorded on it was the formula of [Source of Magic Power]. If those shaping potions strengthened the wizard's body, then [Magic Power] Source] is used to increase mental strength.
This is also the essence of how wizards can cast spells.
In fact, it is not difficult to obtain the rest of the materials. You can buy them with magic gold coins. The most important thing is this spiritual quality...
Ectoplasm widely exists in the minds of those powerful magical creatures, but the quantity is rare. For example, the ectoplasm obtained from killing a fire lion can only make a bottle of [Source of Magic].
And this substance also exists in the brains of wizard apprentices and even formal wizards.
Regardless of formal wizards, according to Ladak's speculation, only three wizard apprentices need the ectoplasm in their brains to assemble a raw material, and the probability of promotion is higher...
