Chapter 1895: Time Magic

Fortunately, Yisite had agreed on a method of contact with Xia Duo before leaving, otherwise Ougesi would have thought he was going to stir up trouble again!

"Asuosi, how on earth did you manage it?" Ougesi brought up the matter again.

Xia Duo had long since prepared for the Council of Elders to be informed, so he did not hide it, saying he had a research project that required Yisite's help, which involved the purification of Demon Descendants.

Some time ago, the mutants from the Golden Rose Community were sent back one after another following purification, but the outcome was not very good; while their bodies recovered, their consciousness could not, and now those Elves have all died.

There is only one, Mila, but she still retains the influence of Magic Energy Infection, the most prominent being Mila's second personality, which is showing a trend of becoming stronger and gradually replacing the original personality.

Saijisi knows this, because Xia Duo usually talks to him about his current research, and as for Ougesi, even Shali was sent by him; Xia Duo does not believe there is anything in Athos Manor that could be hidden from him.

"I will keep an eye on Yisite, don't you worry!"

"It is precisely because of that that I am worried. Although he promised to give up his previous research, Demon Descendants are even more sensitive than his previous studies, and I fear—"

Halfway through his sentence, Ougesi stopped talking, "Forget it, you be more careful. If he has any unusual behavior, remember to notify me in time."

"I understand, but I think Yisite and the Council of Elders should have common topics."

What Xia Duo actually wanted to say was the Bloodline Sequencing Project; if he could get the Council of Elders to accept this vast and complex project, it is entirely possible for Yisite to become a supporter of the Council of Elders.

Of course, getting the Council of Elders to accept the Bloodline Sequencing Project is a matter that requires long-term planning, and acceptance does not equal placing a heavy bet on it.

But all in all, Xia Duo believes that Yisite should not be thinking about stirring up trouble for quite some time.

After returning to the manor, Xia Duo saw Yisite and his student Dixipu by the rabbit hutch outside the Laboratory, and the Druid Meiye was also there; Yisite was asking him questions about the domestication of wild rabbits.

Yisite's attitude was kind, and from the surface, one could not tell at all that he was once a radical researcher who kidnapped Elves for live experiments.

"Mage Asuosi, you are finally back!"

Seeing Xia Duo, Yisite did not hesitate to brush aside Meiye and walk toward Xia Duo, pointing at the rabbit hutch to ask Xia Duo: "Are these rabbits the prototypes of the Arcane Rabbit you just mentioned?"

"Yes, to put your mind at ease, I will now demonstrate the previous experiment for you twice in practice."

As he spoke, Xia Duo had Meiye pick two healthy and strong male rabbits, then walked toward the Laboratory to the side, with Yisite and his student Dixipu quickly following.

After entering the Laboratory, Xia Duo placed the rabbits on the experimental table and signaled to Yisite that he could check the experimental subjects first, but Yisite waved his hand:

"No need, just now when you hadn't returned, I had already checked all the rabbits in the rabbit hutch; they are not magical beasts, nor are they dire beasts, just the most ordinary domesticated rabbits or wild rabbits."

"Then I will begin."

After that, Xia Duo stopped being wordy and directly sent a rabbit into the Force Field chamber; the ignorant little rabbit subconsciously hopped around, not realizing what was about to happen.

Of course, for the first experiment, Xia Duo chose a small dose of infection and transformation, equivalent to giving the rabbit a 【Faint Elemental Blessing】.

When the Spell was completed, Xia Duo signaled to Yisite to check again; this time the other party did not refuse, but did not act immediately, instead signaling his student Dixipu to check first.

As a senior Mage, Dixipu is only one step away from being a High Mage, and although this step might never be reached, his current achievements are more than enough to check a mere rabbit.

Dixipu first grabbed the rabbit out of the Force Field chamber, stroked it back and forth in his hands, and only then did he cast a Spell to check, and it was not limited to "observation" itself.

He also tried to pluck the Magic Net String passing through the rabbit's body to observe the rabbit's reaction and the feedback from the Magic Net.

After a series of cumbersome operations, Dixipu reported to Yisite with a look of joy, "Teacher, this wild rabbit already possesses certain characteristics of a magical beast, mainly reflected in elemental Spell Resistance.

"In addition, I also discovered that this wild rabbit's affinity with the Magic Net is no less than that of an ordinary Elf; if it had Wisdom, there is no doubt that as long as it underwent training, it could quickly become a Spellcaster."

"Is that so? Anything else?" Yisite asked again.

"A simple check can only reveal this much; if you want to know more, I am afraid we would need to conduct a series of more detailed examinations."

It was still daytime, and Xia Duo had work to attend to in the Wild Vine Valley, so naturally, he would not wait here for Dixipu to conduct detailed experiments; before Yisite could speak, he interrupted the other party's words:

"You can check these slowly later; next, I will demonstrate the effect of the complete infection Transformation Ritual."

To this, Yisite had no objections; he was also looking forward to seeing what a pure energy-state wild rabbit would look like.

Xia Duo had already performed the complete infection transformation on rabbits more than once, and there had never been an accident; this time was no exception. When the Spell was completed, Xia Duo reminded Yisite:

"Its current state is very unstable and can only be maintained for a very short time; if you want to check it, do so as soon as possible."

"Understood."

This time, Yisite decided to do it himself, and the first thing he did was to slow down the flow of time within the Force Field chamber where the complete infection transformation experimental rabbit was located.

"Mage Yisite, you—"

"It's nothing, just a little trick!"

Yisite finally saw the expression of surprise on Xia Duo's face; the emotions that had been suppressed from their meeting until now were suddenly released. He glanced at Xia Duo triumphantly, then began to check the experimental rabbit.

Xia Duo was stunned for a few seconds, then began to recall the details of the Spell Yisite had just cast; a lot of key information was missing, but there was one thing he was certain of, and that was—

The Spell Yisite had just used was definitely not just slowing down the various physiological activities of the experimental rabbit in the Force Field chamber, but was truly making time slow down.

The evidence lay in the fact that the speed at which the few rabbit hairs scattered by the experimental rabbit hopping around during the Transformation Ritual were falling inside the Force Field chamber had dropped sharply.

Under normal circumstances, if Xia Duo saw this situation, his first reaction would be to suspect that the force and inertia within the target area had been reconstructed, or that Suspension had been cast on the rabbit hairs themselves.

But now, the Force Field chamber was still under his control, he knew the gravity situation inside perfectly well, and those drifting rabbit hairs showed no signs of having been subjected to a Spell.

Then there was only one explanation: time had slowed down.
