Chapter 183: Assassination at the Magic School

Chapter 179 – The Assassination at the Magic School
Owen was taking a bath in the bathroom with Dale helping with the back rub, but because the headlights were always scraping, it kept him distracted, pondering if he wanted to eat a couple of strawberries in a little while to satisfy his craving.

Just then, Shinobu suddenly appeared and brought a surprising piece of news.

“Brian met with an assassination?” Owen was stunned when he heard this, then he remembered who this person was, and finally after remembering that the other party had been hired by him as a professor of the magic school, he immediately stood up in excitement.

He wasn’t worried about Brian’s death, but the safety of the magic school.

The magic school was responsible for cultivating a new generation of law professions for the territory, and once there was a problem, it would have a great impact on the future development of the territory, so he couldn’t help but be concerned.

“Let Hogg strengthen the patrols in Akita Town, especially at night, and at the same time, order Bella to lead the nomadic cavalry to disperse, the territory is surrounded by emptiness, the other party, no matter for what purpose they assassinate Brian, it’s not that easy to get out of it.” Owen’s face did not look good.

The territory was lacking in talent, so even though Brian’s situation was a bit complicated, Owen still chose to accept the other party.

Although he thought that the other party would bring trouble, he didn’t expect that there would be trouble even before the results were produced, or assassination was such a crude means, so Owen didn’t intend to let the other party go easily, after all, Bryan was now a person under him.

Shinobu made a few hand signals, and there were ninjas hidden on the side who went forward to inform the master’s order.

Owen didn’t know how the situation of the magic school was now, so he asked Dale to help him dress, and then took Char and the two witch hunters with him, secretly followed by Shinobu and the ninja team, and came to the town of Green Shade.

Hurriedly came to the magic school, fortunately, the other party is not a berserker type of assassin who believes in killing everyone or successfully sneaking, so the magic school is not strewn with blood and limbs, so Owen more or less relieved.

“How’s the situation?” Seeing Amelia, who came out of the stone tower with her head bent low, Owen asked in a slightly hasty manner.

“The other party’s infiltration ability is very strong, many of the academy’s traps weren’t triggered, and the ones that were triggered were also disarmed with special means, so no one noticed until the explosion.” Aimile frowned and said, obviously the magic school was not as safe as she thought.

“It’s a good thing that the other party was so purposeful that there weren’t any casualties except for Brian.” Amelia had been personally involved in the school since it was built, plus most of the little witches here had been under her care before, so it was a very emotional experience, and it was a rare relief to say that.

“By the way, Brian is in a bit of a unique situation right now, and I can’t tell if he’s dead or alive.” This last sentence of Emile made Owen froze for a moment, people still can’t tell if they are dead or alive?
Walking into the stone tower, the first floor was originally a place to receive guests, but now it has become a murder scene, Domi stood aside at a loss for words, innocent like a murderer, while Brian was lying on the ground with a pale face, no one dared to move him with a big hole broken in his chest, even his heart was shattered.

But Brian was still alive, there was a strange box beside him, from which many tubes were sticking out, connecting to the place where the blood vessels of the heart were broken, taking over the role of the heart to transport the blood to the whole body, and forcibly maintaining the minimum function of the body.

However, the previous explosion had destroyed the table and chairs and part of the floor, resulting in a lot of debris embedded in Brian’s body, so this thing could only barely keep him alive.

Just because the situation was too complicated, Emilee didn’t even dare to use the magic potion easily.

Brian originally lost a large amount of blood, once the use of magic potion caused the wound to wriggle, so that the tube connecting the artery of the heart to fall off, under the great loss of blood, even if he soaked him into the magic potion will not be able to save him back, besides, the fragments in his body is not half a catty but also eight or two, spread over all the organs, it is a miracle to be able to live now.

“This is Professor Brian’s research result?” Owen asked Domi as he let the warm baby scan that box.

“It’s the second heart researched by the teacher, it can be buried into the chest cavity in advance, not only can it improve the combat strength of the warrior, but it can also replace the heart when necessary, only that it was vetoed by the Imperial Border Army because of the cost, and only a prototype was created.” After seeing Owen, the flustered Domi finally calmed down a bit and answered Owen’s questions quickly. Owen was a little surprised at Brian’s talent in this area after he saw the scan of the Warmaster through the projection of his glasses.

Brian was still alive now, not all relying on this second heart, but also the special potion that entered his body along with the delivered blood.

The potion was hidden in the box of the second heart, and had flowed all over his body along with the blood, keeping him in a state of fake death, otherwise he wouldn’t have lasted this long.

It was no wonder that even Amelia was at her wits’ end, because once this balance was broken, Brian’s fragile flame of life would be extinguished immediately.

Facing the scene at hand, Owen felt a little numb.

Fortunately, the territory was not just opened now, Owen still had quite a lot of talent under his command, after calling two priests, holy light plus magic potion, hard to save Brian from the death line back.

But the broken heart has lost its activity, even with magic potion it can’t be restored, as for regrowing one, it’s not that it can’t, but it definitely can’t.

This thing is not a bone or tooth, you can wait for it to grow slowly, the nascent heart can’t support the adult body at all, in the time waiting for the heart to mature, Brian can die eight hundred times.

Besides, he is only the surface wound healing, in order to prevent continued blood loss, those fragments can not go to remove, inflammation and rejection is inevitable, so Brian is still really like the cat in the box, I do not know how to judge his dead or alive.

Seeing Brian still in a state of fake death, Owen who desperately wants to know the clues of the murderer chooses to bring the other party to the dungeon secret room.

Artificial heart is not a difficult problem, where the Flame Queen has perfected the technology, Owen on the basis of the magic change a bit, only a few hours to hand rub an artificial heart.

Installation was also not difficult, Owen cut the broken heart, placed the artificial heart in it, and then connected the heart artery.

Afraid of connecting the wrong line, but also let the Flame Queen check one side, to determine that there is no problem, Owen activated the artificial heart.

The blood delivery was normal and various hormones were released, stimulating the body organs of Brian’s pseudo-death state to start activating, waking him up from his pseudo-death state.

Because of the rush, the process of replacing the heart was a bit rough, plus the messy fragments were not taken out, causing Brian’s expression to be very painful, but the effect was indeed immediate, and it didn’t take long before he woke up, and he didn’t know if it was waking up from the pain, anyway, Owen looked at it and felt the pain.

But after all, he was a professional, the first thing Brian focused on when he woke up was not his physical condition, but the workbench he was lying on.

Owen had previously exchanged a beginner’s multifunctional workbench in order to facilitate the creation of puppets, and right now it had long been upgraded and replaced with a high-grade item, which, together with alchemy, was enough to create such a perverted creation as an android.

Bryan is a knowledgeable person, a glance can see how precious the workbench he is lying on is, now he can’t wait to pinch Owen’s neck and let him throw himself on the ground, so as not to dirty the workbench.
