Warlock Apprentice Chapter 873 - Initial Experiment

Chapter 873: Initial Experint

As soon as Leon learned the true value of a Deter, he refused to leave her at Padt Manor right away.

“There’s no way we have what it takes to keep it. Maybe it’s okay when you or Miss Eureka is here, but she, you, and I will always leave one day, by which ti the Deter will bring the family quite the risk.”

“I’ll temporarily put her here then.” Angor considered and said, “Later, I might take her away or use an illusion to hide it. I’ll decide what to do then.”

In the end, Angor made up his mind to plant the Deter here. Not in the soil, but on top of a small piece of “cloud dirt” he handily crafted, which was the sa component used for sustaining the floating islands in Brute Cavern. In this way, he didn’t have to sever the Deter’s roots when removing her.

By combining the cloud dirt and a proper amount of earth he found outside Grue Town, he successfully created a tiny floating island to keep the Deter above the manor while also leaving a simple illusion to conceal her from people’s views.

The Deter had been silently weeping ever since Angor saw her. But as soon as Angor placed her into fresh soil, a delightful smile that perfectly fitted her stunning look ca upon her face.

Even her feathers that looked a bit dim and unkempt before slowly grew clean and brighter, further adding to her image of the “Goddess of Spring”.

Both Angor and Leon watched the Deter displaying her splendor in awe, which was still not the end of it.

In the next second, new sprouts shot out around the Deter and began to emanate the aura of life into the environnt. The aura wasn’t very strong, but it still covered up the entire Padt Manor.

Within a matter of seconds, the Milkberry Tree visibly gained extra size, while the flowers around it also took on more vivid sheens.

The miniature plants in the Krakok settlent also gave birth to new branches and blossoms rapidly, turning the newly-built Krakok ho even more lovely.

Leon took several deep and pleasant breaths as he felt the very air in his lungs almost invigorating.

“She’s still recovering. When she reaches her full size, the power will reach every corner of Grue Town, including the farmlands in the suburbs, by which ti you’ll never have to worry about food shortage,” Angor said to Leon, who was still dumbfounded.

“She’s not fully grown yet?? Man, I wish I could keep her here, but...”

Leon shook his head while descending from the floating island by using Angor’s Gondola.

“I know the wizarding world is amazing, but this is the first ti I’ve ever seen sothing like this. Now I can’t wait to go there and find out more.”

...

That night, the servants in the manor held a feast with the Krakoks to celebrate the wonderful blessing they gained today. Even though they couldn’t see the Deter, they knew it was probably Angor who made it happen.

Angor, however, didn’t join the thrill. As the others sang and danced to their hearts’ content, he silently left the manor and traveled away from Grue Town.

He was going to Waterford, the city he used to love the most when he was young.

The Waterford today was a lot quieter and more peaceful compared to what he could rember of it. At least he could no longer see starving holess people wandering around the city.

The main city district was still bright with many shops open for night business. However, this wasn’t his destination—he was heading to the western area where the biggest prison in Waterford was located.

The “Black Sands” prison was ho to many criminals, most of whom were waiting on death row. Angor planned to use these people as test subjects and try out “reality dreams”.

Without other known ways to rescue Jon, he at least needed sothing to prevent Jon from vanishing from this world. Keeping Jon’s consciousness in a dream was still better than letting him die completely.

Everything Freud suggested until now was hypothetical. Now, Angor was going to do hands-on experints.

First and foremost, he had to make sure whether he could maintain soone’s full mory and personality in a dream after that person was killed.

It wouldn’t make much difference, but he still preferred doing such tests on these villains rather than hurting innocent mortals he caught off the street.

Would deep sleep and light sleep affect the results? Would the dream be cut off imdiately when soone died?

This was about Jon’s future. He would like to be absolutely certain of the outco.

He reached the bottom-most level of the prison. He then deployed a simple “mist illusion” as his temporary testing ground and imdiately began.

The first prisoner he found was having a typical nightmare where this man was being chased by a group of bloody females of different ages, who madly wanted to get their revenge on him.

“A rapist, huh? Well, this sucks...”

He still didn’t know how to kill soone while “dream walking” yet, so he found so help by controlling another prisoner in the area as his killer.

Unfortunately, the first test ended up as a failure. When the “test subject” was chopped to death, he briefly woke up and caused the dream to shatter.

“So I can’t let them feel it?”

He found a second target and used so nightmare energy to block this man’s sense of pain.

It seed to be a success at first when the prisoner was left in his dream for a while without realizing that his body had perished.

However, without the support of an active mind, the dream bridge quickly crumbled, which ant Angor could no longer enter the dream again nor could he find out whether the dream was still happening.

There might be ways to find a dream without locating its dream bridge, which... clearly wasn’t sothing he could learn right now.

He took so ti to go over more prisoners while noting down everything he needed to know, such as how well mories were kept in different types of dreams.

While at it, he accidentally discovered several “innocent” prisoners who were actually frad by soone. Instead of killing them, he made so adjustnts to the roster to point out the wrongful accusations.

The entire prison was in an uproar by the ti he finished his work. However, he wasn’t going to care about what happened next.

He was quite satisfied with what he learned at one night. Regrettably, there wasn’t one single subject who had a lucid dream, so he didn’t learn any useful things about it.

Could lucid drears retain their complete consciousness after bodily death? Since Jon was having a lucid dream, Angor had to know the answer to this question.

If even a tiny part of Jon’s awareness or personality was damaged or lost, Jon would no longer be the sa man as before.
