Two Rivers County

In fact, after acquiring the Rockskin Fruit Tree with transcendent traits, the Magic Energy Research Base in Two Rivers Territory had already gained the capacity to conduct human experiments. After all, they already had Count Hawk as a sample.

But out of concern for safety, Victor had kept Isaac's plans for human experimentation on hold. Number One also believed that the Magic Tide had not truly arrived yet and that the concentration of magic energy particles was still too low. Even if they conducted experiments, they would not achieve any worthwhile results.

Isaac himself was very eager to conduct human experiments. He had few ethical or moral scruples, since his superb surgical skills had all been acquired by dissecting corpses. Conducting transcendent transformation experiments directly on living people hardly seemed a big deal to him.

Something occurred to Victor, and he asked, "Isaac, I remember you conducted some animal experiments too. There shouldn't be any problems making the leap to human experiments, should there?"

Isaac thumped his chest and assured him, "My lord Marquis, please rest assured. Our experiments on other animals have all gone very smoothly, especially those using field mice as test subjects.

"The second generation of experimental field mice bred at our base are practically perfect test subjects. When we expose them to magic energy, we can't achieve the same results as with Arcane Beast Number One, but we've certainly made great progress.

"The little field mice selected as our primary test subjects adapt particularly well to magic energy. Although their transcendent transformation responses aren't pronounced, they still exhibit controllable, stable changes.

"My next step is to select new test subjects for another stage of experimentation before conducting human experiments. If we achieve good results, human experimentation can begin as planned!"

Isaac's words pleased Victor. He knew
