Chapter 1426: Walking with Integrity, a Smooth Experiment

Speaking of this, Xia Duo paused for a moment, took a string of amulets from his Personal Space, tossed them into Yarman's hands, and then explained:

"I know you are preparing to send people to participate in the Grey Eagle Tribe's Blood Trial. These are protective amulets prepared by my warriors; make sure they wear them at all times."

"Yes."

Seeing that the Lord had personally delivered the safeguards for the Blood Trial, Yarman naturally had no reason to refuse, but after counting them briefly, he discovered a problem:

"But my Lord, there are more than ten amulets here!"

"I made these protective amulets myself, so of course I know; there are twelve in total. Find an opportunity to give the other two to Akeman and Pawa."

The two people Xia Duo mentioned were the child of the Grey Eagle Patriarch and the Apprentice of the Great Shaman; both of them were also to participate in this year's Blood Trial (Langasi must participate in the Blood Trial at least once in their lives).

If he could save them, it would surely greatly accelerate the process of subjugating the Grey Eagle Tribe and even more Langasi.

Regarding Xia Duo's request, Yarman did not hesitate at all, but at the same time, he thought of something and even further proposed—

"My Lord, then can we—"

"No need!"

Xia Duo decisively refused. He certainly understood what Yarman meant, but as for schemes, they could be hidden for a while, but not for a lifetime. He was preparing to treat the Langasi as his own subjects; there was no need to play these games with his own people.

"By the way, you can promise the Grey Eagle Tribe that they are allowed to send people to visit Daxia Territory first to understand their future living conditions before making a decision."

"Yes, my Lord."

"That is all. I still have matters to attend to; I will leave this place to you from here on."

After saying this, Xia Duo nodded to Feishe'er, then turned and walked into the Portal he had arrived through.

……

Two days later.

Akeman and Pawa arrived at the Great Shaman's residence together. In their hands, they were fiddling with a silver-white amulet with an exquisite appearance, looking quite fond of it.

When it was time to meet the Great Shaman, the two stopped these joyful little actions and bowed in unison to greet him, "Teacher!"

"Shaman Grandpa!"

"Why have you two come? The sacrificial ceremony is in a few days. Those Netherese all know they need to train, yet you two don't?"

"Shaman Grandpa, we came to find you for a serious matter!" Akeman hurriedly explained.

Pawa also chimed in: "That's right, Teacher, we have a serious matter!"

"Oh?"

At this moment, the Great Shaman noticed the amulet cords clutched in their hands, "What are you holding in your hands? Is it because of this?"

"Yes."

Akeman immediately handed the amulet in his hand to the Great Shaman, "That group of Netherese said they wanted to ask us to guide their people in hunting techniques, and then they gave us these. They wouldn't take them back regardless of whether we agreed or not."

"We were worried, so we came to find you, Teacher!"

As he spoke, Pawa also handed his amulet to the teacher.

The Great Shaman took the two amulets, squinted his eyes to examine them carefully for a long while, and muttered to himself for a moment before returning the two amulets to them respectively, then said:

"There is no danger, wear them for now! As for guiding them in hunting techniques, go ask the Patriarch; I won't interfere in this matter. But if the Patriarch doesn't agree, then return these two little trinkets to them!"

The Great Shaman had been monitoring that group of Netherese through the Eagle Spirit these past few days. He discovered that those Netherese were very different from the Netherese who had come to the tribe before. Although this fact was beneficial to the tribe itself, he always felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

Simply because the person who brought new opportunities to the tribe was not him!

……

After leaving the Great Shaman's place, Akeman and Pawa went to see the Grey Eagle Patriarch. The Patriarch sighed deeply; he did not oppose it, but he did not explicitly agree either, merely tacitly allowing their behavior.

"Pawa, why does it seem like my father is a bit unhappy? But if he's unhappy, why did he hint that we could do it?"

"I don't know either, but the Patriarch surely has his own thoughts. We should just do as we are told."

"Pawa, you really don't look like a Shaman!"

"Is that so? I also feel like I don't. Perhaps I was never cut out to be a Shaman!"

"Don't say that, I was wrong. You are a Shaman. When I become the Patriarch in the future, I will definitely make you the Great Shaman!"

"Don't say that in front of the teacher!"

"I know, hehe, I'm not stupid!"

……

The torrent of the era rolls forward, and the individual will caught within it is truly insignificant.

As for everything happening on the distant Langas Plain, Xia Duo had already completely put it behind him. He was very at ease leaving the matters there to Yarman.

What he needed to do now was to work with Iolum to complete the linkage and stability testing of the Spherical Radial Configuration for the Independent Arcane Fire Device.

After this part of the testing was completed, it would enter the full-machine testing phase. How to improve it subsequently would also require obtaining first-hand data from the full-machine testing phase.

In the Laboratory.

After three days of rest, the Daiwei String Component automatic preparation machine had already completed the preliminary preparations for the experiment. As soon as Xia Duo and Iolum arrived, they could proceed with today's experiment.

"Teacher, do you think today's experiment will go smoothly?"

"It will. The plan you designed is rigorous and exquisite; I believe there will certainly be no problems!"

Although he said that, Xia Duo still felt a bit nervous inside. Previous continuous tests had already exposed his insufficient grasp of the properties of the material known as Daiwei String itself.

His design theoretically did not have any problems; this could be concluded through the calculation of Spell Elements, but theory is theory, and engineering is engineering.

If he were using real Magic Net String as the material, then there would be no problem, but now it was Daiwei String, whose properties were not yet very stable. This required fully considering the energy limits that the material itself could withstand.

At the same time, there was the issue of the efficiency of converting theory into practice.

What the result of this test would be could only be known after testing; all predictions beforehand were meaningless.

……

"Let's begin!"

"Mm."

As the Daiwei String Component containing the linked Element Units within the Levitation Field was activated, Xia Duo stared fixedly at one specific set of Daiwei String Components without blinking for even a moment.

Until the experiment ended, that set of Daiwei String Components, which theoretically would bear the most Arcane Energy flux, did not disintegrate, and Iolum's face was full of smiles:

"Did you see that? I told you there wouldn't be a problem!"

"Teacher, don't be too optimistic; this experiment only provided the energy flow for the device to operate at its minimum power. If the energy flux were even slightly higher, it might not be able to hold up."

"You tell me not to be too optimistic, but I must also tell you, don't set your standards too high. At this stage, being able to complete the device's minimum power operation is already a huge step forward; we can just improve it slowly in the future."

"Yes, I understand."

Xia Duo said in a deep voice, "Let's continue, and force out the limits of this configuration's linkage scheme!"
