Due to the dispute that had erupted earlier, along the way, everyone was extremely vigilant, even fearful of closing their eyes to sleep.

In such a mutually wary atmosphere, Lynn had no intention of provoking any disputes. After all, the ‘ship’ was too small. If a fight broke out, it might damage the cabin or North’s compass, and he would be doomed to drift forever on the Mist Sea…

North, Hank, and Barbara obviously understood this as well, so even though the atmosphere was tense, they still maintained a harmonious facade.

It was only on the fourth night that the ‘ship’ took advantage of the cover of darkness to return to Wizard Land.

“We’re finally back,” Lynn said.

Stepping onto land, Barbara slowly exhaled, feeling her legs shake uncontrollably. The Mist Sea was indeed too torturous; other than white mist, there was nothing, and Hank was cursing about never wanting to sail across the sea in his lifetime.

“Regardless, this journey was hard on everyone. The things I promised you, I will deliver in a few days,” North said wearily.

“You better not delay for too long…,” Barbara reminded him. The money for the high-level Magic Crystal Cannons was fronted by her, not a small sum by any means.

North merely nodded in agreement, then immediately arranged for several carriages to send them back to the city overnight.

Lynn didn’t intend to delay either and immediately returned to Radak’s manor.

Once back at Radak’s castle, he had Coleman and others capture a hundred gnawing rats for biological experiments.

This order left Coleman dumbfounded. Where was he supposed to find so many gnawing rats?

Eventually, he had no choice but to halt all other apprentice activities. They spent half the night catching mice in the castle and barely managed to gather half the required amount, having to look elsewhere for the rest.

Lynn quickly appreciated the convenience of having a power base; whether it was magic potion materials or experimental rats, everything was gathered within a few hours…

During this time, Lynn revisited all the books about creating the “Magic Source” in his secret chamber. Then he took out the crystalline body extracted from the brain of Death’s Eye.

The crystal appeared completely translucent and dark red, with strange runes and patterns on its surface. Just one glance could leave one eerily entranced, as if one’s soul could be sucked into it.

According to the scale, it weighed only about 150 grams, quite light. According to Radak’s notes, preparing one batch of “Magic Source” usually required thirty grams of spirit essence.

That meant that this spirit essence was only enough to produce five batches of the “Magic Source.” It seemed like a lot, but for experimental purposes it probably wasn’t enough.

Lynn had to conserve as much as possible, dividing equal parts of the Fire Lizard, Griffin, and Death’s Eye spirit essences into already prepared magic potions, creating three bottles of “Magic Source” in different colors.

He then used 0.5 milliliters as a unit to dose nine gnawing rats chosen for the experiment, dividing them into three groups of three, each receiving a different magic potion.

Perhaps because the doses were too small, after a long wait, there were no effects whatsoever.

According to Radak’s notes, this thing was supposed to work within a few seconds!

Lynn could only slowly increase the dose until he administered more than two milliliters, at which point three of the rodents immediately became restless, began to grow increasingly agitated, and one even attempted to bite through the cage…

The rodents had just ingested a Magic Potion concocted using Death’s Eye Spirit Essence.

Lynn recorded all these changes, and then proceeded to group the control subjects.

For each group of three rodents, one was dissected on the spot to record data, one was left as is, and another continued to receive increased doses for the experiment…

A hundred rodents might sound like a lot, but in reality, it wasn’t enough for a control experiment; barely a night passed before he almost ran out of materials.

The wide experiment table was piled with rodents that had died in various ways, some dissected by him and others that had died directly from an overdose of the Magic Potion.

The rodents that had ingested the Death’s Eye Magic Potion were the most terrifying. After drinking about five milliliters, their eyes started to turn blood red, they screamed shrilly, and then died suddenly within half a minute without any warning. @@novelbin@@

What alarmed Lynn the most was the feeling of confronting the Death’s Eye itself while being stared at by those crimson pupils.

However, since he had already killed the main body, Lynn wasn’t afraid of a small rodent. He grabbed the last experimental subject and forced it to ingest five milliliters of the Magic Potion, then dissected it live without waiting for it to die.

“Is there a strong magic response in the brain?” Lynn surprisingly discovered this.

In fact, it was normal for all the rodents that had taken the Magic Potion to exhibit some magic response in their brains; it was a characteristic of magical creatures, signifying the formula was correct.

But this rodent was different; the magic response in its brain was too intense, having even reached the level of Circlet 1 magic, and could only be described as exaggerated, which was followed by symptoms of brain death.

Lynn reviewed Radak’s notes, finding only some records of brain death caused by ingesting Magic Potion, but no mention of the reasons for the rodents’ crimson eyes and their extreme aggressiveness.

This might be due to the specificity of the Death’s Eye Spirit Essence.

As a Magic Potion maker, Radak had conducted deep research into the “Magic Source.”

Of course, this guy was not as humane as Lynn; he conducted experiments directly on human subjects, and many of the missing poor from the Southern District were related to this magic workshop. Radak even used Wizard Apprentices in experiments, accumulating a lot of “experience.”

What Lynn was doing was confirming whether Radak had any schemes in his notes and the potency of the Death’s Eye Spirit Essence. From the earlier state of the rodents that ingested the Magic Potion, the potency was probably more than ten times as strong.

Such a strong potency made Lynn somewhat concerned.

Thirty grams of Spirit Essence was the optimal ratio concluded by the council’s Magic Potion makers, to maximize the effects of the “Magic Source,” but too powerful an effect might actually lead to some side effects.

The rabid demeanor of the previous rodent also concerned him greatly. After pondering for a long time, Lynn finally decided to create a weakened version of the “Magic Source” and have someone test it out…

If no side effects appeared, he would then take the Magic Potion himself…
