Using way more expensive materials for our test seemed to be best course of action.It was bit pricy though and not only that, we were even forced to use much better quality monster materials than before. It did hurt me a bit since I won't be using those materials for myself or sell them for money, but oh well, I was getting these bastards teachings for free and they were quite helpful for my own research. But anyway, the research regarding the "Unliving Heart" was going way better now. We were finally making some progress now. However, it wasn't instance. Creating an artificial heart isn't easy thing and not only that, but it need to serv multiple functions. The unliving heart needs to be special if we want to give it an ability to grow alongside the user as well as handle the necrotic elemental mana. And this is bit problematic. Unlike the regular mana, the elemental mana possess special characteristics of its own. The necro mana is about corpse and undeads…. And we fuking need to create a heart that has it… A living organ that possess mana of the nonliving. Yea…. It's quiet even worse than poison no matter how we look at it. In order to succeed we need to have the heart and ability mutate and adapt the user of the heart so they can handle the necrotic mana. The positive thing about that experiment is that we can use undead as the test subjects…. The bad thing is that we killed some of the undead with our experiments…. Yea…. That should not have happened. seaʀᴄh thё ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Em…... So, remember how I said we were making a good progress? Well, we were making some after switching to better materials unlike before when we were using cheap stuff. But well…. We may or may not had encounter yet another and this time way bigger problem. "Yes… YES! YES!" The artificial heart died while making fart noises. "…" "FUCK!" – shouted necromancer. "Why the fuck it doesn't work?!" – said the necromancer while smashing the table. 'Well, unlike your previous experiment, we need way bigger heart and a heart that can handle way more mana than vermin AND it also need even more energy conversion and all other bullshit." – said annoyed dwarf. "I maybe an extremely famous blacksmith and everything, but it's not like ideas just pop up in my head instantly." "I fuking need to put work into that and have some knowledge already, for example from previous experiences or by doing experiments." "Yea…. He is right. We have somewhat good materials for creating the heart structure, well for the prototype one that will probably kill you if you put in inside you." "So, we need a powerful mana stone or gem in short." – said the doctor. "Pretty much." – replied the dwarf. "And not only that, you need some quiet good stuff that is related to the necro element." "Well… The only positive thing is that we made at least some progress…. But…. Now we slowed down a bit…. Yea…. Fuck." Phantasia gave hand signal for the necromancer to talk in private. The necromancer nodded his head and walked out of the room, leaving behind the dwarf. "What? I'm already pissed already, so just make it quick." – said necromancer. "Yea…. You won't like what I'm about to say at all." "Oh god." – said the necromancer, already realizing that he will get probably even more annoyed. "The adventurer guild has announcement that the dwarf maybe hiding in the mountains." "But they still didn't confirmed if there are any leads or anything like that for him being in the mountains OR that he was seen in different settlements." "They are panicking more, but this also makes them more desperate for crying out loud and that means it will be harder time avoiding them." "Not only that, they may do some desperate moves, like a big search where they don't care about their wellbeing if they grow desperate enough. They won't do it now, since casualties and everything, but I don't know what they may do." "We need to speed up it all or you can say your heart bye bye forever." "Fuck…. Okay…. I have a plan." "One of the mountain near here is quite special." "You see, it's filled with undeads." "And- " "Yea, yea. I know about that place. I looked it into it in the town." "That place is extremely rich in mana and not only that, the necrotic mana." (Honestly, I got quiet curios about that place since I randomly found out that place has plants with the necro element…. I kind of thought it was kind of impossible, since when I tried to raise the weed dragon as undead it failed.) (But apparently those plants aren't undead and just contain the necrotic mana and that it. Kind of dissipating. I wonder if there is a plant that is maybe undead…... Or maybe a plant that act like parasite and turn people into undeads? Oh, that would have been interesting.) "Anyway, the monsters there are mostly undeads or an mutates that are extremely dangerous to the point its consider one of the most dangerous zones near this city." "But there is an small problem." "My level is too fuking low." "And not only that, I cannot use my specialties, since I'm an fuking terrorist with wanted poster after my head and there is also the fact that they are looking for that fuking dwarf, meaning that I cannot just use my main powers out in an open for second or two or I will be fucked and that means you will be fucked." "And if I fuking focus on leveling up alone and trying to get as strong as possible without my main powers, that means I won't be helping you out and the work will get slowed down by a lot." "Not only that, it's not like I can get suddenly stronger in just one day." (Well, I kind of can depending on what kind of modification I do with my own body.) "…." "SHIT! FUCK!" – shouted the necromancer while hitting the wall. "Fine! Just do it!" "…. Okay. But what will you do in meantime?" – asked Phantasia. "Well… We can try what we can and maybe find any form of development regarding the unliving heart, but as I much as I hate to admit it, we also need to start using higher grade mana stones and mana gems for our future experiments." "But- " "I FUKING KNOW THAT IT WILL FUKING TAKE TIME!" "But since I'm stuck here and can't go out, you have to fuking do it." "I don't fuking want to relay on you that much, but by the look of FUKING things I have straight no option what so ever." "…. Okay." (Dammit.) – though Phantasia. (It's not like I don't understand, but we just straight up dealt with one problem only to have a way bigger one suddenly appear when we were just walking?) (We are finally starting to have any progress regarding the unliving heart, but if we don't do anything regarding the energy, then we will be stuck AGAIN. For crying out loud.) (Honestly, I'M considering really betraying that necromancer right now, but I got to admit, his teaching regarding the necromancy and the necro element are GOOD. Not only that, the application of it when it comes to crafting, its far too good for me to pass by.) (There is also the fact that I'm undead myself, so I maybe be able to use his knowledge for my advantage.) (Fuck… He is way too valuable to me alive.) (Still… There is also problem with the city guards. How the hell do I deal with them?) (Should I do the same thing I did with Min city by planting the red hearing in order to give them false trail?) (Yea…. Wait… No, no, no…. Shit.) (Making people aware of the doctor being here may end up coming back to bite my entire ass off later on.) (There is also the fact that they may find out about the first incident where the doctor went on the rampage while everybody was investing the mess he made in the sewers. They may not fall for that trick again.) (For fuck sake.) (…) (No.) (Putting any form of fake leads or submitting any misleading actions would only make us suffer in the end.) (Reason?) (Well, if they discover them, they may realize that the culprit is trying to mislead them and if so, there is an good chance that the culprit is still nearby.) (Any form of sabotage may give them idea that the dwarf is nearby and that they still have hope and in turn they would strengthen their search even more.) (And for MY plan to succeed, I cannot make any big mess or anything like that. So, no genocide and stuff.) (Fuck…... As soon as we started seeing any light we then get hit with cold and hard reality right in the face.) (Still, the hope is not exactly lost.) (Even without the chimeras and plagues, I'm still somewhat strong.) (But the problem though are my mechanical body parts.) (They are not perfect or anything like that, so I'm some hot shit with those mechanical arms.) (….) (Fuck it.) (I don't like this arrangement, but I need to do it.) (The knowledge both of these bastards posses are something things I need.) (It may halter my research and everything, but if I don't do it then the research we are doing right now won't get anywhere and my own research will suffer tremendously.) (….) (Well, I shouldn't complain like a whining bitch and should just focus on hunting.) (The more I delay it, the higher chance of us getting fucked becomes.)
