Arrival at Blue Lake
The next morning, Victor woke up in his room and touched himself all over. He found that his body had not changed, except that he was a little hungry.
He called out to Number One directly, "Number One, is my modification complete?"
After a while, Number One replied, "It's done, but your body will need some time to adapt before the final transformation is complete."
Victor touched his stomach. "It feels like... no, I don't feel anything special."
"Victor, this is normal. After all, it's not a sensory modification, so it's hard to have immediate results."
If you have the opportunity to obtain similar Transcendent materials in the future, you can try to modify your five sense organs. As long as there are enough magical energy particles, it is not impossible to have clairvoyance and clairaudience.
I see there are still many of those gazelles, and maybe there are other gazelles that have already developed Transcendent Organ. You could try looking for them again.
Victor recalled the sheep brains from yesterday and his experience last night, and suddenly felt acid reflux in his stomach. This feeling of being both hungry and nauseous was unbearable.
"Let's talk about it next time. I don't want to see sheep brains again anytime soon."
"But Number One, why would an animal with Transcendent Organ appear? Didn't you say the current concentration of magical particles isn't even enough to unleash the most basic magic tricks?"
"Victor, this is normal, just like a pond, some places are deep and some places are shallow."
Although magical energy particles are distributed throughout the world, there are inevitably places where magical energy particles are abnormally concentrated due to special factors. The Transcendent life forms that first emerged during the magical energy surge were due to this.
It could be an animal, a plant, or even an inorganic life form.
After listening, Victor frowned. "In that case, I don't have the advantage of going first, even though I have you helping me."
You yourself said that the Torchlight Beacon is the culmination of the entire Moonlit Prophet's highest technology, so how could I be one step behind?
"Victor, you've misunderstood. Do you remember anything different about the giant gazelle you killed?"
Victor recalled that everyone was puzzled by the size of the gazelle, but apart from its size, it had nothing special about it and was shot down by the soldiers with arrows.
"It seems that, apart from being larger, it is no different from a normal gazelle."
"Yes, that's right. Even if it develops a rudimentary Transcendent Organ, it's impossible for it to improve its life energy level, and it can't be called Transcendent being."
Even if a few years later, as the concentration of magical energy particles gradually increases, there may be creatures with multiple Transcendent Organ, but they will still find it difficult to use any Transcendent power in such a barren magical energy environment. At most, they will be a little stronger and faster!
But the Beacon Lighthouse is the culmination of a civilization's highest technology. Even if most of its functional modules are unusable, I can still manipulate the rich magical energy particles to modify it for you. Isn't that amazing?
Victor, you are the chosen successor. You should have confidence in yourself and in the Beacon Lighthouse!
After listening to Number One's words, Victor stopped dwelling on the matter. He was also puzzled because Number One didn't say much and had been silent for a long time, but he still found Number One's words very convincing.
"Victor, I estimate that we will need to maintain the low power consumption state for another two or three months before the effects of the modification are fully realized."
"When the time comes, you can awaken me again, and I will help you master your modified Transcendent Organ."
"Well, it seems the renovations should be able to keep up with the Civil War. Hopefully, they will achieve the desired results."
"Yes, Victor. Goodbye then."
Number One soon fell silent again. Victor shook his head, got up, washed up quickly, and left the tent.
Just as Victor breakfast, his guard ran over and said that the kitchen had prepared sheep brains for the adults and wanted to ask Victor how he wanted to eat them.
Victor felt nauseous at the mere mention of sheep brains and politely declined the kitchen staff's offer.
After the entire team packed up their camp, Victor continued leading the team northward.
The gazelle herds are still slowly migrating westward, and the attack they suffered yesterday has not alerted them.
As the team passed by, they caught dozens more, which the soldiers said were gifts to bring to the Blue Lake Bay Outpost.
The journey went smoothly until then, and Victor even led a team to maintain the original road signs along the way.
During the previous conquest of the Blazing Fire Tribe, many road signs were erected on the road leading from Tribe Number One to the Blazing Fire Tribe, all made of wood.
After more than half a year of wind and rain erosion and animal damage, these unpainted wooden road signs have become damaged.
Victor considered building a road directly along these road signs when he expanded northward, replacing the signs with stone tablets for better visibility.
Concentrating on their journey, they traveled quickly, and by 2 p. m., the entire group could see the enormous Blue Lake in the distance.
This place was originally the Ancestor Lake of the Blazing Fire Tribe. After the Blazing Fire Tribe was wiped out by Victor's army, Victor directly renamed it Blue Lake.
From a distance, it looks like a giant sapphire set in the grassland.
Blue Lake Bay Outpost is located next to the original camp of the Blazing Fire Tribe, which is a natural lake bay, hence the name.
Upon seeing Victor's group, Blue Lake Bay Outpost, having already received advance notice from the rangers, naturally knew that their lord had arrived.
The garrison commander of the outpost, accompanied by several Cavalry, ran over to greet him. Upon seeing Victor, they all dismounted and saluted their lord.
