Chapter 103 The Final Answer and the Baby Dragon!
Moonlit Fox?
Hick's exhausted brain felt like it had been injected with a strong electric current!
Of course he knew about the mysterious demonic creature, the Moon White Fox, which only existed in ancient legends and forbidden books!
Legend has it that they are the favorites of the moon goddess, and have been given incredible blessings:
No disease, curse, poison—nothing negative in the world can affect it!
Of course, this is just a legend. After all, in the wizarding world, even gods are just research materials!
However, it was precisely this almost supernatural characteristic that led to the annihilation of this powerful creature, which could reach level two strength upon adulthood, over a long period of time.
The powerful and wealthy in the mortal world longed to have clothes made from their fur, which shimmered like moonlight, so that wearing them would grant them immunity to all diseases and allow them to live a long and healthy life until their death.
Wizards, on the other hand, coveted their entire bodies—they were the dream materials for countless top-tier potions and forbidden experiments.
Stifled by the greedy hunting of mortals and the fanatical research desires of wizards, the Moon White Fox has long been extinct in the Aikar region.
Thinking about these records, Hick was even more incredulous!
My mentor, Pelo, actually researched this? And even linked its characteristics to Ginny's fragile constitution?
He practically threw himself onto the catalog, and following the index, quickly found the corresponding thin manual on the bookshelf and began reading it greedily.
The manual was not long, and the handwriting was unrestrained and wild, full of the wild speculations and strong sense of uncertainty that came with the early stages of the experiment.
But the core idea, like a ray of moonlight tearing through the darkness, instantly illuminated the fog in Hick's mind:
By utilizing the Moon White Fox's near-absolute health, placing it near Ginny's side, the aim is not to cure her immediately, but to stabilize her condition, prevent her illness from worsening, and lay a foundation for her fragile body.
After stabilizing Ginny's body, the Moon White Fox's characteristics were used as the core medium to perform the final witch body transformation on Ginny!
The manual makes an extremely bold prediction that this method has a conservative estimate of over 70% success rate in completely reversing Ginny's congenital defects!
For Hick, what difference does it make from 100%?
As he closed the thin manual, an uncontrollable glint of light flashed in Hick's eyes!
Although the manual was full of words like "speculation," "needs verification," and "unknown risks," it was undoubtedly the clearest, most feasible, and most likely to succeed solution he had ever seen!
Other methods are either gambling or a dead end.
The 70% success rate in treating Ginny was nothing short of a miracle!
"The Moonlit Fox—"
Hick kept repeating the name, but the hope that had just been ignited was quickly dampened by the cold reality—after the excitement came a huge headache.
That thing is extinct! Where are you going to find it?!
Even if he accumulates a lot of experimental points, he still needs a target and a success rate to solidify the effect!
"Have you finished reading it?"
A soft, feather-like voice suddenly rang out behind Hick, startling him so much that he almost lost control of his magic!
"You—how did you get out here?!"
Hick turned around abruptly, staring in astonishment at Ginny, who had appeared behind him at some unknown time.
She was still wearing that slightly oversized white dress, barefoot, her ruby-like eyes calmly looking at him with pure incomprehension.
"Why can't I come out?" Ginny tilted her head slightly, as if she found Hick's question strange.
"Weren't you in—in that?" Hick pointed in the direction of the rune-covered reinforced glass cage where she had been imprisoned.
“That’s not a cage,” Ginny corrected earnestly, her tone matter-of-fact. “That’s my room.”
Hick: "—"
What kind of decent person would use a place like that as a room?! That's such a huge misconception!
"Then why do you live there?" Hick suppressed his intense inner turmoil and pressed on.
"Lord Perot told me to keep a close eye on the test subjects' condition and record it."
Ginny answered without any hesitation, as if it were a matter of course.
"So—you're still your advisor's assistant?"
Hick was genuinely surprised this time.
He always thought Ginny was just Pelosi's "precious experiment" and "living database".
"yes!"
Ginny nodded, a faint glow seeming to appear on her pale face because of the question, even tinged with a touch of pride.
"In all the experiments here, I was Lord Perrot's assistant. Lord Perrot said I was his most important researcher."
'
researcher--
Hick sighed inwardly, thinking, "This is probably top-tier material for 'research'!"
That old man Pelosi, his brainwashing skills are truly top-notch!
"Okay, Ginny."
Hick took a deep breath and decided to give her hope first.
"I already know about your condition. I think I know how to treat you."
He tried to make his tone sound confident.
"Really?!"
Ginny's ruby-like eyes widened instantly, bursting forth with a pure and intense light that Hick had never seen before, as if parched land had received its first drop of rain.
Her whole demeanor became vibrant and full of hope.
"Of course!" Hick replied affirmatively.
He quickly calculated: if he couldn't find the Moon Fox, he would just have to use a massive amount of points to overpower it!
Consider this an initial investment in Ginny!
If she survives, the points reward will be enormous.
but--
What if I fail because I don't have enough points?
Hick sighed inwardly. Ginny was unique, and he only had one chance!
Unlike her subordinates, who could simply switch to another person if they failed in their witch body transformations, Ginny couldn't do that.
Finding the Moon Fox is still the optimal solution!
Lowest cost, highest success rate.
Looking at Ginny, whose whole being was brightened by hope, Hick suddenly thought of another possibility.
The young dragon's corpse is also top-tier material. Could my mentor have used it all?
"Ginny, since you're the mentor's assistant—do you know about the results of the mentor's—um—incubation projects? Especially those—baby dragons?"
Hick asked tentatively, trying to keep his tone calm, but deep down he didn't have much hope.
Would Pelosi really tell something this important to an "assistant"?
"I know," Ginny replied softly, her voice like heavenly music striking Hick's heart.
"Where?!" Hick's voice rose instantly, filled with barely suppressed urgency and a hint of disbelief.
"Come with me, I'll take you there."
Seeing the longing in Hick's eyes, Ginny didn't hesitate and turned to walk into a dark passage deep inside the laboratory that Hick had visited before.
Hick's heart pounded wildly; he could hardly believe his ears!
Could there really be an unexpected surprise?
He quickly followed Ginny's light steps, as if chasing an unbelievable dream.
She walked through the winding passage to its end. Ginny gently pressed a spot on what appeared to be an ordinary metal wall.
Buzz—
Accompanied by a low, mechanical hum, the walls silently slid open to the sides, revealing a huge space filled with cold blue light.
Hick's gaze was instantly drawn to it, and then his pupils contracted sharply!
Before me were rows of huge, cylindrical petri dishes!
The petri dishes were filled with a translucent, pale green life-sustaining liquid that emitted faint energy fluctuations. And at the center of each petri dish, a young biological dragon floated silently!
They were curled up, their dragon scales reflecting a ghostly light in the liquid, and without exception, each had a neat and deadly huge knife wound on its chest! Six in total!
"This—this—"
Hick gasped, overwhelmed by immense joy!
The carcass of a young dragon! And such well-preserved, top-quality material! Their value is immeasurable! This is simply a windfall!
"These are the corpses of baby dragons," Ginny said lightly, standing beside him, as if introducing ordinary specimens in a laboratory.
She paused for a moment, as if suddenly remembering something, and added, "Oh, right, there's one more."
One more?
Hick hadn't fully recovered from the shock and elation of seeing the six baby dragon corpses. He subconsciously looked at Ginny, his brain a bit blank. What else could it be?
Ginny had already walked to the other side of the room, to the equally inconspicuous wall, and reached out to press another hidden node.
Click—rumble rumble—
This time, the sound of the wall sliding open was heavier and more ancient, as if a long-sealed door to a secret vault had been opened, leading to a deeper level of secrets.
The scene behind the door plunged Hick, who had just experienced a tremendous surprise, into an even deeper level of shock and stunned silence!
This is a much smaller, more central room than the outside culture room.
The walls, floors, and ceilings—as far as the eye can see—are densely covered with ancient and complex magical runes!
These runes are not static, but rather flow slowly, flickering and shimmering, like the breathing and heartbeat of a living being, forming a vast and intricate energy network that emits heart-pounding energy fluctuations.
At the center of this energy network, all the flowing light and pulsating runes eventually converge at a single point, like rivers flowing into the sea!
In the very center of the room, on a pedestal made of the purest crystal, suspended at the intersection of countless runes, lies an egg.
The eggshell had a deep and ever-changing color, as if it were a blend of the purest night sky and the hottest lava, and its surface was covered with naturally formed, mysterious magical patterns.
An aura of immense power and ancient vitality, carrying boundless pressure and the pulse of life, emanated even through the powerful sealing array, causing Hick's soul to tremble!
"Dragon egg!!!"
Hick gasped in shock, his mind blank, with only those two words echoing wildly in his head!
He never dreamed that, in his mentor Perot's legacy, besides Ginny, the "treasure" of six baby dragon corpses, there was actually a living dragon egg that was being carefully maintained by a huge amount of energy!
This value—completely exceeded his wildest imagination!
