Chapter 83: Calm Down, Don't Curse My Whole Family!
Chapter 83: Calm Down, Don't Curse My Whole Family!
"Phew~ It's been a rare couple of days of peace." Qin Muye took a deep breath as he emerged from his meditation.
In the thick aura of magic emitted by the magic pool, Qin Muye's meditation was incredibly comfortable. He didn't even need to convert elements; they condensed directly.
He glanced at the trading post and quickly snatched up a dragon corpse.
He had already accumulated quite a few dragon corpses in his warehouse, ranging from black dragons to fairy dragons, green dragons to purple dragons. The variety was truly extensive.
Especially since these dragons were all 5th Tier, Qin Muye speculated that most of them were listed by the Demon Slayer Scholar, with the remainder coming from other lords.
This so-called limited-time event was truly something only the top ten could participate in. The rest simply couldn't keep up, as the minimum tier for the dragons was 5th Tier. Who could possibly defeat them?
Qin Muye's 3rd Tier Magic Spirit Goblins could barely handle 4th Tier units, while these people could easily hunt 5th Tier dragons.
The True Dragon Emperor's troops were all dragons, and he certainly wouldn't have the ability to bind their loyalty like skeletons or goblins. To keep his troops content, he wouldn't sell dragon corpses.
The Necromancer, being a necromantic lord, would find it more beneficial to keep the corpses for himself rather than list them for resources.
Therefore, only the third-ranked Demon Slayer Scholar had the capability to list a large number of dragon corpses, though the prices were truly high. Qin Muye could only afford to buy three to five of each type, mostly focusing on the variety rather than the quantity.
After all, for Qin Muye, having enough for experimentation was sufficient.
He stretched his limbs and prepared to continue the research he had left unfinished the previous day.
"Get someone to bring Eks into the laboratory," Qin Muye called out. The Bloodthirsty Goblin outside responded and went to fetch the prisoner from the dungeon.
Eks, the cave dweller, was truly unfortunate, as Qin Muye had taken an interest in his sensory system.
From previous dissections, it was clear that Eks did not lack vision but had a magical sensory organ similar to infrared sensing, making him immune to various negative effects like blindness and dazzling.
Qin Muye intended to transplant this immunity and sensory system into the goblins.
Goblins, being magical creatures of a bestial nature, had a strong affinity for magic due to their magical constitution. As long as Qin Muye was willing to try, the transplant could be successful.
However, the cave dweller had more than just this value. There was deeper potential.
Although Eks had suffered greatly, his race still had a racial deity, the God of Cave Dwellers, though he seemed rather ineffective, failing to protect most of his people.
From what Qin Muye had observed, the cave dwellers showed great potential in earth magic. They not only had some resistance to negative effects and damage from earth magic but also had a certain affinity for it, though it was not substantial. Nevertheless, Qin Muye had confirmed this through multiple dissections.
"You lunatic, lunatic!!!" Eks cursed repeatedly, only to be struck on the back of the neck by a tentacle from the Bloodthirsty Goblin.
Eks ignored the intense pain, appearing to be on the brink of mental collapse.
It was probably because the past two days of dissections by Qin Muye had broken his defenses.
At this point, Eks understood why the gods had once united to attack the Silver Star Alliance. These mages were all lunatics.
He had seen normal mages before, but none had ever tied him up, dissected his brain and skin for two days, and then asked him how it felt, holding his own brain and skull. How could such behavior be considered normal?
So, Eks was even worried that this seemingly weak Heavenly Favored Lord might transform him into a beast-type human.
Although mages generally preferred elves for beast-type humans, it didn't mean they wouldn't use other species. Mages had their own unique preferences.
"Calmer, calmer. Your agitation is not conducive to my observation of your sensory organs later," Qin Muye kindly advised.
He had considered using anesthesia, but he lacked the necessary materials.
Under normal circumstances, the drugs needed for anesthesia would only be produced after the first and second era reforms in his territory, along with the industrialization of magic. Otherwise, handmade anesthetics were insufficient to anesthetize magical creatures.
Qin Muye had also thought about using magic to help with the anesthesia, but it wasn't very effective. He was opening up a skull, not giving a haircut, and the intense pain would immediately snap the subject out of any hypnotic state.
Fortunately, magic had its conveniences. Recovery was very quick, and a few healing spells would ensure that not even a scar would be left behind.
Despite Qin Muye's words of calm, the Bloodthirsty Goblin quickly secured Eks on the operating table, using handcuffs, leg cuffs, and thick ropes, even pressing down on him to prevent any movement.
The message was clear: they were ready.
It didn't matter whether Eks was prepared or not; what mattered was that Qin Muye was ready, and that was the Bloodthirsty Goblin's concern.
"Cough, you bear with it for now. When I have the conditions, I'll definitely give you anesthesia for the dissection," Qin Muye said, stuffing a cloth into Eks's mouth and tying it securely with a strip of cloth.
Eks was so agitated that he was almost cursing Qin Muye's entire family.
Qin Muye didn't really mind the cursing, as it was just words. The main issue was that Eks's agitation could be dangerous. Last time, Eks's agitation caused Qin Muye to accidentally sever a brain nerve, nearly leading to partial paralysis. Fortunately, he was saved in time, or the subsequent experiments would have been impossible.
Since then, Qin Muye had arranged for a Bloodthirsty Goblin to help hold Eks down to prevent any movement that might affect his precision.
"Sigh, you have to bear with it for now due to the lack of conditions. I'll definitely provide you with a perfect dissection environment in the future. By the way, did you feel a sudden darkness? I just cut off your infrared-like magical sensory organ," Qin Muye chatted with Eks while testing his nerve responses.
Eks indeed experienced a sudden darkness, both physically and psychologically. If he could speak, he would have let Qin Muye know what cave dweller curses were like.
"Oh, right, your mouth is gagged. But from your movements, it seems you also experienced the sudden darkness. The progress is very smooth," Qin Muye noticed Eks trembling and, based on their interactions, could interpret his physical reactions.
From the intensity of Eks's trembling, Qin Muye could tell that he indeed experienced the sudden darkness.
"Don't worry too much. Once I'm done with this, I'll give you a few days off. I am a scholar, and I value propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, and trustworthiness. I won't keep exploiting you; doing so would lead to being hung from a lamppost."
