Chapter 114

Exiting the service hall, Lynn asked the brute force demon, “Do you know Toby?”

“Don’t know,” the brute force demon shook its head.

A hint of surprise flickered in Lynn’s eyes. He had assumed that Toby and the brute force demon knew each other, but now it seemed he had been mistaken.

It could simply be that Toby, due to the brute force demon’s honest nature, was showing some kindness out of pure goodwill.

Returning to his residence, Lynn encountered a curious figure sitting on the neighboring balcony. “Is this the demon you adopted? Where did you get it from? It looks quite powerful.”

Lynn paused. Ever since he learned about Ido’s situation, he had consciously avoided her.

Every six years, she would forget everything. Each recollection was a process of continual forgetting and remembering.

“I didn’t adopt it. I tamed it myself,” Lynn replied after a pause, glancing at Ido. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head: What if Ido didn’t go to the Abyss during the last moments of her six years?

Would she avoid reliving the memories of death?

But the cycle of six years would likely continue regardless.

“Oh, I see,” Ido nodded.

“I’m off to do some experiments. We’ll talk later,” Lynn waved to Ido.

Back in the laboratory, Lynn began his learning journey.

In the following days, Lynn immersed himself in his studies within the laboratory, spending hours memorizing knowledge.

Occasionally, he would greet Ido and bring back a few pots of magical plants to observe their behavior while nurturing them. In his spare time, he also delved into studying the large piece of flesh he had brought back.

At some point, a new entry appeared in Lynn’s Life Occupation section: Magic Potion Studies.

...

“Jeffrey, I heard you were humiliated by a new wizard apprentice?”

Good news travels slowly, but bad news travels fast.

Previously, Dyo had crafted a one-time consumption potion designed to resist magic. Lynn purchased a rabbit and brought it back for experimentation with this potion.

After testing, Lynn found that zero-ring spells with energetic properties basically couldn’t cause any harm to the rabbit. At the same time, sharp weapons also couldn’t cause any damage to the rabbit during the duration of the spell.

However, blunt weapons could effectively kill it.

After examination, Lynn discovered that the cause of death for the rabbit was internal organ rupture, massive bleeding, and shock caused by blunt trauma.

This similar nature reminded Lynn of something quite familiar—gargoyles.

The gargoyles’ series of war weapons had strong resistance to magic. They were specifically designed by wizards long ago to counter mages when they invaded a plane where magic civilization was highly prosperous.

Later, the mages from that plane captured the gargoyles during the war and then spent a considerable amount of effort deciphering them, investing a lot of energy in creating gargoyles that were only controlled by them.

Because in the eyes of the mages from that plane, other wizards were also a group of magic-using enemies. If gargoyles could deal with them, they could also become a weapon against wizards. This was also the reason why they spent so much effort to research gargoyles in reverse.

In the beginning, gargoyles did indeed cause considerable trouble for the wizards, which momentarily excited the mages of that plane, prompting them to invest massive resources in producing gargoyles.

However, when the second batch of gargoyles did not achieve the expected results on the battlefield, the wizards countered with a spell that directly knocked the gargoyles off their pedestals—the Soul Breaking Spell.

This spell, specifically developed to target alchemical creatures like gargoyles with strong defenses but weak souls, could directly annihilate their consciousness, leaving only their shells behind.

This battle not only consumed countless efforts of the mages of that plane but also allowed the wizards to capture a vast number of gargoyles, effectively turning the mages of that plane into the laborers of the wizards.

Lynn pondered deeply. He wasn’t contemplating the ‘Soul Breaking’ spell or the gargoyles themselves. The essence of gargoyles and the performance of this potion were fundamentally different.

However, Lynn approached the issue from another angle, drawing inspiration from the method of creating gargoyles.

If this potion, when applied to the skin, could transform a living being into wax after the duration ended, was there a substance that could resist this wax?

If there was a way to resist this wax, Lynn could potentially create it in the form of alchemical puppets, turning it into an invincible new type of creation on the battlefield.

This change of direction would indirectly make the potion permanent.
