Chapter 127 Valennier's Bio-modification
The first obstacle to overcome in conducting "biomodification" experiments is this "rejection reaction".
It was precisely because of this "rejection reaction" that, despite the Scarlet Wizard's immense effort and lengthy experiments in "shark modification," once she obtained the Slash Technique and confirmed that the eight nodes corresponding only to the body could also trigger the mysticism and form a "complete model," she unhesitatingly abandoned all her previous achievements and ideas and began experimenting to "carve" these magical nodes onto the shark's body.
Although this experiment was also difficult, it was infinitely simpler than the "rejection reaction".
"The Scarlet Wizard experienced countless failures and consumed countless sharks. In the end, it was only through sheer numbers and luck that one shark survived the 'rejection reaction'."
"And this wizard Valennil can actually perform 'biological modification' directly on a human body—the difficulty of that is worlds apart."
"How did he resolve, or rather, avoid, the 'rejection reaction'?"
"Is this his unique method, or a unique tradition of a certain wizarding school?" Loen frowned—he thought it was the latter.
After all, bioengineering belongs to "biology," which is a completely different field from materials science.
In materials science, one person might stumble upon a formula by accident that others might not be able to achieve even after generations of research—but in biology, it requires an extremely vast amount of accumulated knowledge!
The various difficulties encountered cannot be avoided by mere chance.
"If they are wizards from different schools... have the wizarding schools of these central countries come to Chashan Ridge so quickly?" Luo Ang pondered, raising his hand to catch the rhomboid octahedron that fell from the envelope of spiritual energy.
"Did the wizard Valennir mention a time and place for the meeting?" Under Loon's gaze, the old knight, who had undergone 'biological modification,' broke out in a cold sweat before Loon finally spoke.
"Your Excellency Thunderclap, my master says that according to the rules among wizards, since he proposed the meeting, you should determine the time and place."
"Let me confirm." Luo Ang closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.
His first reaction was, of course, to invite the person directly to Chashanling—during his efforts, thick and thin fogs had already swept across all parts of Chashanling.
For him, this is his true home ground.
If they choose to meet here in this mountain range, then if the wizard Valenil has any evil intentions, Loon is very confident that he can kill the wizard Valenil here. Of course, if he can't even keep the wizard Valenil here on his home turf, then Loon will directly give up his original idea of meeting with the wizards of the central kingdoms.
Conversely, if the wizard Valennil himself had no intention of fighting Loon, then choosing to meet at Forked Ridge would be entirely a disadvantage—as a wizard, Valennil would instinctively investigate the situation within Forked Ridge after arriving there.
This is not a good thing for Loen.
"The left side of Chashan Ridge facing the sea." Luo Ang used his mental power to pick up a parchment scroll, spread it out in front of the old knight, and then flew up a quill pen, dipped it in ink, and drew on the parchment scroll, simply sketching the terrain of the "fork" on the left side of Chashan Ridge, and then drew a small circle on it.
"This is the boundary of the dense fog in Chashan Ridge."
"Please tell Wizard Valennil," Loon said, pointing to the location he had marked, "that I will wait for him here at noon the day after tomorrow, when the sun is at its highest."
……
"Lulang, how are you feeling?" After the old knight left, Loen turned his gaze to the side.
"My lord, the aura emanating from this messenger knight is truly strange." Sir Lulang frowned. "He is clearly a great knight who is nearing the end of his life, yet I sense a sense of crisis emanating from him."
"This is unreasonable."
Knights, although they also possess a certain degree of "extraordinary" power, have not yet touched the mystical, nor the soul and spirit—their power is all unleashed through their own bodies.
As they grow old, although their experience will become richer, their strength, stamina, agility, and so on will be greatly weakened due to aging—and their explosive power will also decrease accordingly.
Normally, a slightly better mid-level knight could easily deal with an aging high knight.
As for Knight Lulang, he had been eating anglerfish meat for two months.
Thanks to the abundant vitality and regenerative power of the anglerfish flesh, coupled with his own tempering, he had successfully become a Grand Knight a month ago.
As a great knight in his prime, he should never have sensed a deadly threat from an aging great knight—yet he did sense that deadly threat from the messenger.
"Just a modification."
"His heart must have been modified to make his vitality more vigorous and his power greater—but at the same time, each battle would also put a heavier burden on his body."
"His actual age is probably not as 'old' as he looks."
Loon analyzed the messenger knight's situation—the knight Lulang had eaten the flesh of the blood anglerfish and possessed an enormous amount of life force within him—his recovery ability would remain at an absurd level until the life force within the blood anglerfish flesh was exhausted.
Although it cannot compare to the wizard's 'semi-digitalization,' it far surpasses that of other knights.
The modified messenger knight was able to make Lulang Knight sense a deadly threat, so it was clear that the focus of the modification was on its explosive power and lethality in an instant.
"Among a person's internal organs, the heart is the power center."
"I suspect that the wizard Valennil's modifications to him were concentrated on his heart."
"Clap clap clap clap clap." Listening to Loon's analysis, the wizard Valennir on the other side couldn't help but clap his hands.
"As expected of the Thunder Wizard, his gaze is indeed as sharp as thunder." Wizard Valennil looked up at the sun overhead, then at the swirling mist behind Loon, and finally fixed his gaze on Loon.
"I have communicated with many wizards, but only you, Thunder Wizard, could see through my knight modification after only meeting me once."
"Wizard Valennir is too kind," Loon said calmly, pretending not to hear what Wizard Valennir had said—it was clearly just a polite remark, and anyone who took it seriously would be a fool.
"The wizard Valennir hasn't told you why you've come yet." It was already the time that Loon and the wizard Valennir had agreed to meet.
After the meeting, the wizard Valennil did not say anything else, but directly started a conversation by mentioning the messenger from the previous two days.
"My purpose in coming here is this Knight Modification Technique." The wizard Valennil looked at Loon with a smile, seemingly showing off. "Wizard Thunder, guess how lethal this modified knight will be?"
"To a wizard, no matter how powerful a knight is, it is difficult to cross the boundary of life force and touch the level of soul and spirit, and it is difficult to pose a threat to a wizard."
"In the eyes of a wizard, there is no difference between a knight and an ordinary person."
"However, since the wizard Valennir specifically mentioned this knight modification..."
"Could it be that the knights modified by the wizard Valennil possess a destructive power that transcends the limits of life force?"
Luo Ang's eye twitched, somewhat incredulous.
