Yuli's Fear
The life of Mage is actually more of a monotonous routine, consisting of going back and forth between three points. →
Saine's apprenticeship was just as tedious and busy, and nothing much changed after he became Formal Magician.
During the Poison Fire Green Flame World War, Saine summarized the areas he needed to focus on at this stage, as well as some of his own shortcomings in areas of knowledge.
Now that he has returned to the Wizard World, aside from his obsession with traveling to the Western Islands, Saine has plenty of time to devote to experiments that interest him.
In the laboratory.
As Saine dissected and studied the oval-shaped horn on the forehead of a Nesser Civilization Creature in front of him, the Construct Master Yuli, located in the corner of Saine Laboratory, crouched in a semi-transparent glass enclosure, her expression revealing undisguised unease and fear.
It seems that in the Star Realm, female beings are inherently inferior to males in the area of courage. It's unclear whether this is due to hormonal influences or differences in the physical characteristics of the different sexes.
Once upon a time, Yuli was also a fearless Construct Master the Nesser Civilization, and she was not afraid to Mutual Destruction with the Mage of the Wizard Civilization.
However, ever since she was imprisoned in Saine's laboratory and witnessed many of Saine's experiments that disgusted and made her feel nauseous, Yuli's fear has multiplied exponentially.
It was only then that Yuli realized that she was also a woman.
(ps: The proportion of Construct Master in the Nesser Civilization is mostly male, and Yuli is a rare female genius Construct Master.)
Yuli couldn't remember exactly how many creatures Saine had dissected in the lab. When she was dissecting those Flame Creature, Yuli didn't feel anything.
Because those Flame Creature are very different from humanoid creatures, and the creatures of the Nesser Civilization also eat meat, the appearance of these Flame Creature is not much different from the livestock raised by the Nesser Civilization.
But when Saine's Surgical Knife sliced into the Nesser Civilization Creature, Yuli felt a chill run through her skin.
Especially the cautious look on Saine's face as he gently sliced open the horn on the forehead of the Nesser Civilization Creature with a cold Surgical Knife.
Yuli felt as if the Surgical Knife had cut her body; the visceral sensation made Yuli feel like she was going crazy!
This is mental torture!
Even though Saine hadn't physically punished or harmed Yuli, the Nesser Civilization Construct Master, Yuli had already submitted to Saine deep down.
This is the normal fear of the weak towards the strong, and it is also the psychological torture that Saine has been silently inflicting on her in the experiments over the past few years.
"As expected, the sensitivity here is deeper; it seems to have a lot of nerve endings."
"But how exactly do the Nesser Civilization Creature control those Constructed Magic Puppet? What are the specific principles behind it?" Looking at the Nesser Civilization Creature specimens on the Laboratory Table, Saine couldn't help but ponder.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Saine glanced at Yuli in the corner.
Yuli was actually secretly watching Saine at this moment. When she noticed Saine looking over and making eye contact with Saine for a very short time, Yuli couldn't help but shiver, and her face became even paler than before.
Yuli's performance didn't bother Saine. This Construct Master was a treasure, Saine didn't intend to conduct any experiments on her casually. If he messed her up, he would suffer a huge loss.
The library of the Azure Source Holy Tower, which is open to Formal-Ranked Magician, does indeed contain several special spells for enslaving creatures.
However, from the perspective of Formal Magician like Saine, these spells seemed too crude and not particularly sophisticated.
Saine's mentor Luluman, has a private library, and Saine believes that his mentor must have some advanced magic there.
However, with his mentor not yet back, Saine couldn't just barge into his mentor's residence.
Furthermore, places like private libraries should be protected by Luluman restrictions, and Saine doesn't even know if his mentor has granted him the necessary access.
Since there wasn't any particular rush, Saine postponed his plan to control and enslave the Construct Master.
Seemingly seeking further inspiration from his previous research, Saine waved his right hand, and with a flow of Magic Power and a short incantation, the laboratory wall in front of Saine began to slowly move.
Saine's laboratory was already spacious enough, but after the walls were moved, the area of the entire laboratory increased by more than three times, and the floor also dropped downwards.
Judging from the space inside the laboratory alone, it appears that the laboratory has been extended to three floors!
Among Level-1 Magician, perhaps only Saine in the Azure Source Holy Tower can enjoy such preferential treatment in resources.
Don't underestimate the benefits of this resource allocation and the convenience in Experimental Research. It is precisely because of these small but significant advantages that Saine was able to grow faster than other Level-1 Magician in the same period!
The emergence of genius is sometimes not limited to talent.
You can create a genius simply by piling up resources.
Inside the expanded laboratory in front of Saine, hanging on the walls were some of the spoils Saine had acquired in the Poison Fire Green Flame World Battlefield.
The most eye-catching of them all was the Constructed Magic Puppet that was over ten meters tall and had a pale red color all over.
This construct Constructed Magic Puppet with the marks of war, its body surface covered with countless scars.
Of these wounds, those on the head, chest, abdomen, and arms are undoubtedly the most severe.
One arm was twisted off by external force, the head was caved in, there was a clear gap in the chest cavity, and the abdomen was pierced by some powerful Element Power.
Judging from its appearance alone, the Constructed Magic Puppet in front of us looks more like a piece of junk.
However, thanks to the repairs and cleaning by Saine, this battered puppet still possessed considerable majesty.
Saine had not forgotten that this Constructed Magic Puppet, in the hands of the Construct Master in the corner, could unleash combat power comparable to a level one peak or even a Level-2 Creature.
Upon seeing the battered, Light Red Constructed Magic Puppet, a complex expression flickered in the eyes of the Construct Master Yuli.
What appeared in the Saine Laboratory was not just the Light Red Constructed Magic Puppet, but it was just the most eye-catching one among them.
Besides this one, there are five other well-preserved Constructed Magic Puppet in the laboratory, as well as various other construct parts placed in some corners.
These Constructed Magic Puppet and parts are Saine valuable Spoils of War from the Poison Fire Green Flame World.
Saine walked straight to a six-meter-tall white Constructed Magic Puppet and stared at the center of the puppet's chest, where it appeared to be the Construct Master's cockpit. He pondered the specific connection between the Constructed Magic Puppet of the Nesser Civilization and the Construct Master.
"The evolutionary direction of the Nesser Civilization's Construct Master should also be the realm of Mental Strength."
"It's not hard to understand using Mental Strength to drive a giant puppet, but it involves specific knowledge of construct engineering..." Saine couldn't help but shake his head.
