Saine's assessment of the traces of liquid around the bite mark on the Golden Apple was that the rate at which this Golden Apple was losing Life Energy was far below the normal rate.
Saine had originally thought that his preservation work had been exceptionally thorough.
But after bringing the Golden Apple back to the laboratory for study, he discovered that this was not the case.
This special layer of liquid had prevented the Golden Apple's life activity from dissipating.
Moreover, based on Saine's research and assessment, these tiny amounts of liquid seemed to possess other marvelous uses as well...
This was absolutely not something a Level-6 Creature could achieve!
Thinking back to that extremely fleeting sensation of being watched before he returned to the Wizard World... who could it have been?
The first person Saine thought of was Hela, the Titan-type Dominator he had met during the Wizard Alliance Assembly.
She seemed to be Thor and Loki's elder sister as well.
Could it really have been her?
He glanced once more at the transparent liquid on the tip of the tweezers. After carefully collecting it in a test tube, Saine added it to his collection of rare specimens.
"Yes, yes, yes. Next, add the Blue Spirit Grass. Remember, do not exceed three milligrams, and pay close attention to the elemental reaction." On the cross-stellar remote communication screen, Luluenman was guiding Saine from afar as he prepared the Golden Apple Potion.
The Golden Apple had already been bitten into, leaving only around seven-eighths of it. After removing the core and preserving it for Luluenman, Saine had turned the remaining flesh into vials of Life Nectar.
There was no helping it. This Golden Apple simply could not be preserved, especially after Saine had collected all those traces of Dominator Liquid.
