Feeling that advancement was just around the corner, Annevia worked harder and devoted herself to research day and night.
Take the sperm, take the eggs, create fertilized eggs, and put them into the alchemy device; take the sperm, take the eggs, make fertilized eggs, and stuff them back into the belly of the female lizard.
Adjusting the alchemy device, adjusting the energy supply array, working hard to sense, research, and compare; appease the mother lizard, communicate with the mother lizard, appease the mother lizard, communicate with the mother lizard...Annivea is busy every day.
I ate in front of the lizard cage. I almost stuffed the lizard food into my mouth while staring at the cage several times. I slept in front of the alchemy device. When the alchemy magic circle beeped, I could immediately turn over and crawl. stand up.
Before he even opened his eyes, he had already knocked his head against the glass cover outside the alchemy box, knocking himself awake. If it weren't for the fact that as a level 9 natural priest, his physical strength had reached a very high level, this head knock would have been impossible. , maybe you can get a bag or something on your forehead.
Of course, if it were her teacher, the most unbeatable nature priest in history, Gretel Nordmark, the shame of the nature walker, she would really have a bump on her head.
If it doesn't come out, maybe it's because it's not heavy? After being so busy for half a month, Grete saw how miserable she was with the thick dark circles under her eyes, messy hair, and two pieces of hay hanging from the lizard's nest, and couldn't help but leave her alone after the morning meeting. she asked.
Anivea smiled bitterly: "There is too much work... In addition to completing the scheduled work, I also have to take time to observe the lizard eggs. The lizard eggs in various time periods... You have to check the time. After the time has passed, you will not be able to see it at this stage. ..." This extra job not only greatly increased her workload, but also made her working time extremely fragmented.
Two days a day is fine, but after half a month, although I am not unable to hold on, I am still very tired.
"...So why do you want to observe the lizard eggs? Do you need to determine the time period?" Gretel didn't pay attention for a while, and the disciple came up with a new task, so he couldn't help but ask further questions.
Annevia cheered up a little, tried to open her eyes wide, and explained to the teacher. Gretel heard her say
"We need to observe the changes in fertilized eggs at each time period." He couldn't help but shake his head: "Then why are you observing lizard eggs? If you just need to observe the division of fertilized eggs and changes in the embryo, you can observe eggs!"
"What?" Anivea was stunned. When I reacted, I wanted to give myself a slap: Yes, why don't you observe the eggs!
Eggs are obviously so much easier to obtain than lizard eggs, so much cheaper, and you don’t feel bad if you break them and you can eat them later - so why not observe the eggs?
Am I out of my mind?
"But, as for eggs, how do I determine the time-"
"Inseminate in batches!" Grete answered without thinking: "Find new hens, inseminate in batches, calculate the time to retrieve the eggs, and calculate the time to dissect. If you want to see the initial stages of fertilized egg development, you You can also take eggs from the hen's belly..." Anivea left in shame.
Grete suddenly stopped her: "By the way, as for the egg development process, I remember they made an observation record in the virus laboratory of the Eagle Country. Later, you can send a message and ask them to pass the record over. Tell me what I said." With Gretel's words, the observation records were sent very quickly - although they had to go through several mage towers, they were also in the hands of Annevia seven days later.
During this time, Anivea also arranged for experimental assistants: she directly approached Leon Carlos and asked him for a few indigenous people to help raise chickens.
The rough-footed barbarian is responsible for feeding, turning the eggs, and ensuring that the hens are alive and the eggs are not dead; the delicate dwarf is responsible for keeping track of time, making records, and reminding her on time.
From the time the hens lay eggs, a batch of eggs is taken every hour, photographed, cracked, dissected under a microscope, and the embryonic morphology of each egg is recorded.
Draw pictures, analyze, and make tables: On the second day, I saw a pulsing little red dot, suspected to be a heart... On the fourth day, I saw a small black dot slowly getting darker in color, suspected to be an eye... On the fifth day, I could already see it The curved shape of the embryo is clear to the eyes!
That's the eyes! On the sixth day, when I took a photo of the egg, I could see two small round balls, the head and the torso, from the outside of the eggshell. After breaking the eggshell and dissecting it, I could see the appearance of chicken wings and legs from the embryo... Annevia was intoxicated. In the joy of gaining new knowledge, the momentum in my body is getting higher and higher day by day.
Her changes naturally alarmed the researchers around her. The priests of the God of Nature Order whispered: "It looks like she is about to advance..."
"So fast, how long has it been since we got here..."
"As expected, it's only when you are with the teacher and trains her step by step that you can advance quickly..."
"Hey, if you put it this way, are we going to win the bet we made before?"
"You still bet?" Elder Knox's face darkened. His disciple, the fourteenth-level Nature Priest Auburn Bonnilla chuckled: "Isn't this just idleness? I'm just idle... When I go in and out of the mage tower, I always chat with those necromancers. They made a bet..." He bet that Anivea would advance first, and the other party bet that Leon Carlos would advance first.
From Auburn's point of view, there is absolutely no chance of losing this bet: Annevia has been doing research!
Who doesn’t know that doing research, especially pioneering research, is the easiest way to advance! What is that Leon Carlos doing?
Scheduling patients around the clock? Arrange for this one to be illuminated by a magic light source, arrange for that one to get magnetic resonance imaging, arrange this one to be treated by a certain archmage, and arrange for that one to be treated by a certain natural priest?
Every day just for medical records, I have to write a thick stack and send them to Master Nordmark. How can it be possible to advance without personally treating it, and without getting feedback from nature and the world?
He must have won this bet! Those hundred standard magic crystals must be his!
"You bet on my disciple?" A question suddenly sounded above his head. Elder Knox quickly raised his head and saw the magic crystal screen above his head, which suddenly lit up, revealing Grete's overlooking face: "What are you betting on?"
"Uh..." Leon Carlos was writing furiously. In recent times, intensive treatment work has given him some insights.
In the past few days, in addition to working, he also tried every means to find time to record his insights: "Whether they are humans or humanoids, their essence is the same. Respiratory system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, urinary system System, sensory system, musculo-skeletal motor system..."
"The body is a delicate and complex structure... All systems complement each other, and any one of them is indispensable without other systems... Changes in each system will cause changes in other systems..."
"Changes in body size will cause changes in the respiratory and cardiovascular systems... Different body shapes will cause internal organs to be distributed in different locations, as well as muscles and bones to be connected in different ways..."
"Different feeding methods are adapted to different digestive systems, and the intake of different foods and nutrients also support different muscle-skeletal systems..." When I was in Nevis in the past, I saw what I saw , only humans, dwarves, and barbarians.
After arriving at Dragon Island, I discovered that there are so many races in the world. After various explorations and medical procedures, it was suddenly discovered that no matter whether it is a person with two heads or a person with wings, whether it is a person with two legs, a person with four legs, or a person with four legs and two arms, their essence is It's all the same... When he was studying medicine in the past, Master Nordmark once taught him this: The human body is a whole. When you study, you study it part by part, but when you treat it, you have to integrate them.
At that time, I just memorized it, but now... I seem to understand it. By extension, undead creatures have lost many parts and systems, so they lack vitality and require manpower to maintain them.
If you use magic to simulate these systems of theirs, for example, if only the skeleton is left with bones, simulate muscles on it; if the ghoul's digestive system is finished, use magic to rebuild it so that it can better digest the food it ingests. Food... So, can these undead creatures be stronger and exist longer?
Can the consumption of necromancy spells be smaller? Leon Carlos always felt that once he figured this problem out, advancement was just around the corner!
The five-ring necromancy spell, [Animated Army of the Dead], can be used to raise an army of skeletons and zombies with one spell.
He always couldn't do it well in the past. He could only create one undead creature at a time. If he wanted to create several undead creatures at the same time, especially several different types of undead creatures, he would always be in a hurry and lose sight of the other... Is it necessary to understand the nature of human beings? Now, use the power of death to make a template, add a set of corpses and skeletons, fill in whatever is missing, and then you can do it in batches?
"I understand, I understand!" Having figured this out all of a sudden, Leo Carlos felt enlightened.
Research this model, make this spell, and advance it, right before your eyes! Despite his busy schedule, he still had some sense and hurriedly reported to his teacher, requesting to temporarily step down from his post as hospital director and enter into seclusion for a short time.
And this retreat inevitably alarmed everyone in the Master Tower: "What? The hospital is temporarily closed? No patients are accepted?"
"For the seriously wounded and seriously ill who are about to die, please ask the healers of the magic system to take care of them. For other patients, wait until the hospital opens!"
"That kid Carlos is going to advance?!" Oops, the bet is going to be lost! Auburn Bonnilla uttered an ouch and ran back.
He rushed to Anivea's research room and was about to push the door in and urge her to speed up when he saw a sign hanging at the door, refusing outsiders to enter.
And Master Nordmark's teacher, Elder Erwin, heard the sound and came out from the opposite side and made a gesture to him.
"Silence" gesture: "What are you doing in there? Annevia is in retreat. She said yes. It feels like she will advance to the next level soon!"
