Chapter 760 Spell Expansion
After copying the two magical imprints of the Frost Lizard, Joan wrote down his ideas for further research on the Frost Lizard's blood in his notebook.
For example: capture some close relatives of frost lizards, large reptilian lizards, inject them with frost lizard plasma, and observe the follow-up situation.
According to Joan's prediction, 99% of these transfused lizards would be frozen to death by the extremely cold frost lizard plasma, or die of rejection.
However, there may be a very small number of lucky ones who survived, affected by the frost lizard plasma, and mutated into cold-type subspecies magical beasts, and may even awaken supernatural abilities such as "Frost Armor" and "Frozen Aura".
After completing the interpretation of the frost lizard's blood, Joan extended his "devil's claws" to the earth giant.
It's still the same operation, first arrange the corpse, cancel the "shrinking operation", and restore the normal body shape.
The body of the earth monster was much bigger than the frost lizard, and it almost burst Joan's tent.
Joan couldn't find a foothold, so he simply climbed onto the giant earth monster to dissect it.
The focus of the research, of course, is the strangely constructed eyeballs of this monster.
Joan used a dagger to pierce the inner and outer eyelids of the earth giant, staring at the dull eyeball, recalling the horror feeling when he first met his eyes, he still has lingering fears.
The umber was dead, and the unhinged gaze of those dull eyes could no longer be cast.
However, the eyeball itself still contains some magic power, and has a high affinity with ray magic, so it is suitable as the embryo material of ray magic tools, or alchemy medicinal materials in related fields.
Joan carefully moved the knife, gouged out both of the earth giant's eyeballs, wiped them clean with gauze, bottled them and sealed them.
Looking at these two eyeballs, Qiao An couldn't help touching his fake eyes.
His prosthetic eye itself has no special magic power.
What would happen if the prosthetic eye was dug out, replaced with an umber eyeball, and re-enchanted?
It is speculated from common sense that, under the premise that other conditions remain unchanged, using the earth giant eyeball as the material for enchanting is definitely better than using ordinary prosthetic eyes, and the performance and range of the spell will be improved.
So, is it necessary to replace it?
After the initial heartbeat, Joan gave up on this rather tempting idea.
The prosthetic eye that Mr. Havel personally transplanted for him has settled in his eye socket for a whole year, almost fused with his flesh and blood, becoming a part of himself.
Qiao An has gotten used to this prosthetic eye and is reluctant to dig it out and replace it.
Moreover, there are some objective factors preventing him from doing so.
For example, the umber's eyeballs, which are as big as billiard balls, are not the right size for his sockets, and they look far less beautiful and attractive than his own prosthetic eye... It seems narcissistic to say so.
In fact, these are secondary.
The biggest trouble in replacing the prosthetic eye is that it needs to be re-enchanted.
Joan couldn't even count how many spells his prosthetic eyes had enchanted, and how many magic crystals he had spent for it.
If he had to do it all over again, just the magic crystals needed for enchanting, the huge cost would make him bankrupt.
The poor should have the consciousness of being poor.
It's not that the prosthetic eye can't be used, what else can I replace it with?
Let's make do with it first, it's been another three years of mending!
The tentacles, claws, and carapaces of earth hulks are also valuable materials for magic and alchemy.
After Joan collected them one by one, he revealed the artifact that is necessary for home travel—a large syringe!
The thick needle tube of this wine bottle has a lot of background!
When Joan was studying in Port Layton, he often went to Mount Vernon on weekends to help Lieutenant Colonel Vassar breed his donkeys and horses, and artificially build mules.
Natural mating of donkeys and horses requires consideration of the estrus period, and the mating process is relatively cumbersome.
In order to improve the breeding efficiency, Joan helped Lieutenant Colonel Vasa design a complete set of breeding procedures for artificial semen collection and artificial insemination. This large needle tube is a custom-made device for artificial insemination.
Equipped with needles for syringes, it can also draw blood or inject medicines for large animals.
Now, Joan inserted this daunting needle into the body of the earth giant to extract the plasma.
Still according to the experimental procedure just now, the blood is divided into two containers and sealed, one of which is a pint sample, which is used for "blood interpretation".
The deciphered magic imprint corresponds to the supernatural ability "confused gaze" unique to the earth giant.
This magic imprint is much more friendly than the two imprints that Joan deciphered from the blood of the Frost Lizard just now.
Although Joan hasn't learned the 4th-level "Confusion" yet, he bets that there must be many similarities between the magic imprint of "Confusion Gaze" and the spell configuration of "Confusion".
Joan copied the magical imprint of "Confused Gaze" into his spell book, so that he can use it for comparison when learning the 4-ring "Confusion Technique" in the future.
The corpse of the earth giant was finally made into a specimen by Joan Cannon, and it was shrunk down and put into a specimen box.
Now, in Joan's body bag, there is still the last body to be studied.
The corpse of the troglodyte shaman "Old Blind".
Joan had already dissected a Lizardman corpse yesterday, so it stands to reason that there is no need to do repeated work.
However, the old blind man is different from the ordinary troglodytes.
He is a spellcaster.
There may be something that Joan is interested in in his blood.
Just like before, Joan took the old blind man's blood and performed "blood interpretation" with the No. 4 rune.
The spell "Blood Interpretation" did not limit the spellcasting profession of the blood master.
However, in actual operation, Joan can only interpret the blood of arcane spellcasters.
Although the blood of a magic caster like the old blind man can be forcibly deciphered, the configuration of the deciphered magic is shrouded in a hazy golden light, making it impossible to see clearly.
This layer of golden light is the so-called "divine will".
Only a divine spellcaster can obtain the approval of the divine will through devout prayers, and reveal the mystery of the divine spell configuration to his followers.
Joan is not a believer in any gods or nature.
It is impossible for a person like him who lacks pious beliefs to interpret divine spells.
However, Joan was not discouraged by this.
It was completely within his expectations that he could not interpret the divine spell.
What he was looking for in the old blind man's blood was not a magical configuration, but a possible existence...another kind of knowledge.
found it!
Joan's eyes suddenly lit up!
Amongst a large number of blurred magical configurations, there is still a blue rune hidden, like a water plant floating in the golden ocean, quietly waiting for his arrival.
This is the only rune in the blood of the old blind man that Joan can clearly interpret.
It corresponds to neither divine art nor arcane art, but a super magic skill.
Because of their different foundations, divine arts and arcane arts have disciplinary barriers between them.
However, metamagic skills do not have this problem.
Whether it is a divine spellcaster or an arcane spellcaster, the metamagic memory learned and used is the same, and it is completely universal.
Qiao An forcibly deciphered the old blind man's blood, just to have a glimmer of hope, maybe he could obtain super magic skills from the blood.
Frankly speaking, this kind of thinking is pure luck.
But when luck came, even the city walls couldn't stop it, and he really touched it!
Joan restrained his excitement, carefully identified the super magic skills analyzed in the blood, and finally confirmed that it was "spell expansion".
