Chapter 126 The Modified Knight
Are you kidding me!
How could this merchant not know his own situation?
He went in and out of Chashanling more than once to gather intelligence.
—If they openly and honestly went to the witch doctor of Chashanling, wouldn't that be telling him that they were the "spy" monitoring Chashanling?
Spy, in any place, such a person is universally hated – no one wants to have a pair of eyes secretly watching them.
Whether noble or knight, once they discover that there is a spy sent by someone else in their midst, they will absolutely kill him without hesitation—and even inflict extremely cruel torture on him!
For a secret agent, the most terrifying thing is having their identity exposed in front of others.
—And revealing his identity as a spy to a wizard, and letting the wizard know that he had been lingering around him all along.
That was the most terrifying of all!
That's worse than just dying!
In an instant, the merchant-looking spy was already wondering if he had unintentionally offended the wizard in front of him at some point in the past, so that the wizard was going to use this method to torture him to death.
In an instant, the spy's mind began to race.
He could guarantee that he had never thought so fast in his entire life.
"So, you intend for me to provoke the wizards of Forked Mountain, and then find an opportunity to wage war against them?" The spy lowered his head, 'understanding' the wizard's will. "I wonder to what extent you expect me to go?"
Upon hearing this, the wizard from the Ironfire Kingdom was momentarily stunned before regaining his senses.
He certainly didn't care about the life or death of the spy in front of him—but he couldn't help but worry about whether using this spy as an envoy to Chashan Ridge would anger the wizards of Chashan Ridge, and whether the wizards of Chashan Ridge would consider it a "provocation."
So soon, he selected a new envoy... The spy, after leaving the manor, breathed a sigh of relief.
……
It has been a full ten days since the Scarlet Wizard left Forked Ridge.
Sea travel is inherently faster than land travel—according to Loon's estimate, ten days should be more than enough time for the Crimson Wizard to make a round trip.
But now, ten days have passed, and there has been no news from the Scarlet Wizard.
Although the conch shell in his hand would still respond after being tapped, the response was just a simple shaking, which did not allow Luo Ang to know the specific situation on the other side of the conch shell.
Therefore, Luo Ang couldn't help but feel a little anxious at this moment.
Just then, the bell-ringing knight Lulang brought news.
After receiving confirmation from Loon, a knight, led by Knight Lulang, appeared before Loon and respectfully presented his calling card.
"Wizard Valennil?" Loon looked at the name card in front of him.
This name card is incredibly ornate—it is die-cast from pure silver, with various patterns engraved on it, and gold wires are inlaid in between to form a slightly distorted mark.
And by following the direction of the lines, one can clearly recognize that the name 'Valenil' is hidden within these markings.
Just by looking at this name card that integrates the name and the mark, one can see how much thought the craftsman put into it—and even more so, how much power and influence the owner of this name card, the wizard 'Valenil,' wields, and how much manpower and resources he can mobilize.
After examining the magnificent name card twice, Loen finally turned his gaze to the knight who was acting as a messenger.
The knight had his head down and was breathing rapidly. When Loon looked at him, he clearly noticed the knight's incongruity, and this incongruity gave Loon a sense of familiarity.
After a moment's thought, Loen found the source of this incongruity.
—Wizard Transformation!
Before meeting Loen, the Crimson Wizard was devoted to training Andy, hoping to help him transcend the boundaries between a raging beast and a magical creature.
In the process of nurturing Andy, she fed him a lot of "mysterious materials".
But even though Andy is a raging beast, he is also a normal living being—with normal life force, his absorption of various things is 'efficient'.
The vast majority of the mysterious materials that the Scarlet Wizard fed to Andy were 'wasted' by Andy.
In order to increase Andy's absorption efficiency of "mystery", the Scarlet Wizard also designed a number of experimental schemes during this process.
Those experimental procedures were all conducted on ordinary sharks.
Among the Scarlet Wizard's many experimental schemes, one was "corruption," which involved transplanting the internal organs of other creatures onto a shark, or adding more internal organs to a shark.
However, this kind of experiment is extremely difficult—the success rate is exceptionally low.
If the Scarlet Wizard hadn't been able to summon sharks, the sheer number of sharks she used in her experiments would have bankrupted her completely...
Of course, she also achieved some unique results in this experiment.
For example, the shark that Loon saw in the shark fighting arena when he first went to the White Shark Islands, which could influence the undercurrents through instinct, was one of the Scarlet Wizard's creations.
Besides that shark, the Scarlet Wizard had an even more impressive achievement—she transplanted two hearts into the body of a shark!
The three hearts in total gave the shark tremendous vitality and an extremely surging life force.
Scarlet Wizard treasures this shark that has three hearts and has completely adapted to them without any rejection reaction.
Although Scarlet Wizard quickly lost interest in the shark with only three hearts after the modification plan for Andy was finalized, she had still solemnly introduced the three-hearted shark to Loon before the modification plan was finalized... At this moment, the sense of disharmony that Loon felt with the old messenger knight was exactly the same as the feeling that the three-hearted shark gave Loon.
This is the sense of disharmony created by the 'mismatch' between the old knight's physical qualities and his abundant vitality.
"A knight who has undergone wizardic transformation?" Loen's eyes twitched.
He hadn't expected that while there was still no news from the Scarlet Wizard, another wizard had already come to his door—and it was a wizard who was performing human modifications!
In the novels of my past life, when wizards were mentioned, "biological modification" was always involved.
In reality, after truly experiencing the power of wizards, Loen realized that even for wizards, 'biological modification' was an extremely difficult subject!
Even in the wizarding world, "rejection reactions" between different creatures still exist.
