Chapter 523 – Byzek’s Magic Mirror
Chapter 523 – Byssek’s Magic Mirror
Saul gets the complete spirit body he needs, and the old witch has a new material for her experiment.
But the deaths aren’t over yet.
“We’re going to have to speed things up slightly.” The old hag put the rest of the dwarves in pots and placed the same on the lab table.
“Now, the only thing left to do with my perfect body modification method is the final fusion step, right?”
Ochili was no longer afraid to speak.
“Yes, but this step will probably take longer than ever.”
“Then shorten the time.” The old hag suddenly looked anxious for some reason, “I’ll give you …… three chances. The first time, it’s the useless wizard who’s still locked up in the cage right now. The second time, it’s Ochili ……”
Ochili raised his head sharply and looked at the old witch with disbelief, but the old witch did not look at him.
“The third time, it was yourself.”
Thor stared at the old hag’s face, mentally guessing that something had happened to her.
“Good.”
Thor looked down at the dwarf, who had already gone from living to material in a short time, and made his face look a little paler before silently accepting the basin.
“I see, I’ll start the fusion experiment now.”
The old hag was not amused that her threat had worked.
Still frowning, she sat down in the corner of the lab and didn’t seem to be about to clean herself up a bit before she just started staring at Saul as he did his experiments.
Ochrei walked over to help Sol with the materials, but as the two of them crossed paths, he deliberately paused for a moment, his eyes locked on Sol.
Saul knew what the other party meant.
The old witch had suddenly set an almost impossible deadline for the experiment, and to survive, Saul had to start cooperating with Ouchli now, and through constant trial and error, the two men’s locators would be strengthened, and finally their strength would be raised to the peak of the first rank, near the point of the second rank.
Only then would they have a chance to create an accident and escape from the old witch’s confinement.
Immediately, Saul began to cooperate with Ochili, tampering with the experimental materials in front of the old hag.
The changes made by Ochili were not too big, and for the time being, no abnormalities would be discovered by the old hag.
He then suddenly opened his mouth and asked the old witch for a prop on the grounds that the experimental reaction was not enough.
“The reaction is too slow at this rate, and I’m afraid we won’t have time to add all the materials before the fusion liquid cools down. I think we need the Byzek Magic Mirror.”
The old hag who was sitting on the side of the construction didn’t immediately agree, but turned her head to look at Saul, “Oh? Is that so?”
Saul held up the set of materials he had just scrapped in his hand, “Although I’m not sure what the Byzek Magic Mirror is. But as Ochili said, when we combine the body tissues of dwarves and giants, the fusion of the two is abnormally slow, and the fusion liquid often doesn’t last long enough to add the third material before it evaporates most of the way.”
For this problem, Saul naturally had other solutions, but he needed to pretend that he hadn’t thought of them yet to cooperate with Ochili right now.
“I’ll get it.” The old hag gave Sol and Ochre another look before she slowly got up.
Ochlik deliberately explained aloud to Saul, “The Byzek Magic Mirror is a very dangerous sorcery prop. But at the same time it is also a very powerful prop. What it does is simply that it can accelerate the reaction speed of elemental particles.”
At this moment, the old witch had already walked into the next room.
Ochili immediately whispered to Sol quickly, “But its greater utility is distortion and duplication. I will use its twisting function, and you take care not to let the old witch realize that the experiment is not accelerated.”
Sol nodded wordlessly.
“How long have you been in the First Order?”
“Less than a year.”
“…… “Ochili didn’t realize that Saul’s time to enter the first rank was even shorter than he thought, in which case using his method to strengthen the locator would be very dangerous.
But he didn’t have to tell Saul.
“It’s a bit shorter, but I believe your strength is fine. Things like locators vary from person to person.”
By this time, the two had heard the old witch’s footsteps as she returned.
Ochili’s voice returned to normal, “I know you’re not very good at using it, so I’ll demonstrate it to you first.”
Saul watched Ochli blink at himself and knew that his so-called demonstration was feared to be a demonstration of the enhanced locator.
“Good.”
The old hag walked in just as Saul uttered those words, holding up a mirror. “This mirror is very precious and dangerous. Do not presume to explore its other uses, and be careful of losing your lives on it.” The old witch coldly warned, “Don’t delay the progress of my experiment because of curiosity.”
After saying that, she unlocked the seal on the mirror.
The Byzek Magic Mirror was an equal height mirror, a little taller than Sol.
The mirror was surrounded by a gold rim wrapped around it and inlaid with rare gems, at first glance it looked like a dressing mirror in some noble lady’s house.
However, when the old witch unlocked the seal on the mirror, the faces of dozens of young girls were instantly reflected inside.
They slapped the mirror surface in terror inside the mirror, screaming silently with their mouths open, wanting to escape, but were forever imprisoned in the mirror.
The old hag reached out and drew a symbol on the mirror, and the young girls inside instantly disappeared, replaced by her own reflection.
The old hag in the mirror maintained the same movements as the real old hag at first, but soon her expressive movements began to lag and gradually moved spontaneously.
The old hag in the mirror wasn’t as frightened as the young girl before her, instead, she was banging on the mirror angrily.
Seeing this, the old hag moved the mirror away and towards no man’s land.
“You can’t shine the light on people for more than a minute. Even if you don’t shine the light on people, you have to completely change the direction of the mirror every ten minutes.”
The old hag didn’t say what would happen if she didn’t do as she was told.
But even if she had said it, it would have been useless.
Ochili had already made up his mind about the enhancement.
After all, he was the next one to lie on the lab bench.
Thor dumped the original material and dug some new “dwarves” out of the pot.
The two quickly began a new round of experiments.
But this time, because of the addition of the Byzek mirror, the two had to stop from time to time to adjust the orientation of the mirror.
However, the old hag behind them stared at the two for a while and realized that they were operating carefully, obviously taking their warnings to heart, and stopped staring at the two so intently.
Her eyes would occasionally empty, as if she was thinking about something important.
It was at this time that Ochre’s movements began to distort.
He would purposely adjust the angle as he moved the mirror so that his arm or shoulder stayed within the range that the mirror could illuminate.
Saul, on the other hand, was responsible for covering Ochili’s small movements with his own body or other instruments.
Soon, Ouchli was irradiated for more than a minute. Beads of sweat soon appeared on his head.
If he hadn’t kept his back to the old hag, I’m afraid he would have already been discovered by her.
When the time almost reached three minutes, Saul suddenly stepped in and adjusted the mirror in a different direction.
Ochili immediately glared over at him cross-eyed.
Saul, in turn, pointed covertly at his throat.
Ochili subconsciously touched it and immediately blanched.
A piece of his neck was actually vaguely bulging, as if a fist-sized sarcoma was about to grow.
If he really let it grow, the old hag would soon notice the difference.
Ochili’s gaze towards Saul immediately took on a hint of gratitude.
But Saul did not look at him.
He looked at the mirror.
Even though the mirror didn’t face him directly, he still saw the old hag sitting in the corner of the room through its reflection.
When he subconsciously squinted his eyes to look at the old hag, the figure of this incomparably ugly old hag flickered twice every now and then as if it had a bad signal.
Saul stared at the figure and finally seized a chance to see the most unusual frame in the flickering image.
In that extremely brief moment, he saw a young woman in the mirror who was covered in a mess but had an unusually bewitching face.
