Lord Of The Oasis Chapter 224 - The Magic Experiment That Went Wrong

Chapter 224: The Magic Experiment That Went Wrong

In the apprentice dormitory, the number of mage apprentices had also increased from five to seven.

These were the results of last week’s and this week’s recruitment.

Kant pushed the door open and entered the dormitory. This seemed to be a self-enclosed s.p.a.ce. Seven mage apprentices were gathered around at the table in the middle. On the table were a few elemental gemstones that were still emitting a faint light.

Seeing Kant enter, he hurriedly bowed and greeted, “My lord.”

“Mm.”, Kant nodded. “Well done.”

“You flatter use. We are only carrying out the experiment according to the knowledge we had learnt.”

The leading mage apprentice slightly bent his back, at the same time, he pointed at the elemental gemstones on the round table and introduced, “We found that these gemstones contain rich earth elements and water elements. Then, according to the conventional experiment method, using magic to form a pulse, we successfully stimulated the elemental power within these elemental gemstones.”

“Well, this is really amazing.”, Kant nodded.

His eyes swept over the elemental gemstones that were still emitting a faint light. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and this made him think.

He thought of the various faint lights that appeared in the eye sockets of the elemental giants.

This kind of faint light represented life.

Or rather, it represented a being that was able to move and think. It was this kind of faint light that indicated that the elemental gemstones had been stimulated, allowing these elemental giants to form their own unique way of living.

Different from flesh and blood, a different type of elemental life form!

Kant frowned slightly.

Kant asked the seven mage apprentices, “Are there any other developments regarding the elemental gemstones that have been activated so far?”. He paused, his tone was grave as he said, “What I mean is, other than the faint light that can be emitted so far, can these elemental gemstones bring us any beneficial effects?”

Just by emitting a faint light and activating the elements was not what Kant wanted to see.

He wanted to see the real results of the research.

“Yes.”

The leading mage apprentice nodded, he reported affirmatively, “According to our research findings, it may be possible to use magic power to stimulate the elemental power contained in the elemental gemstones, thus forming effective energy and stimulating some magic items that require energy. Of course, this still requires further calculation. After all, we do not have any magic items for us to carry out experiments. This is a problem that has troubled our research progress.”

“Magic items.”, Kant pondered for a moment. “I can provide them.”

“That’s great.”, the apprentice immediately nodded in surprise. “If there are magic items, we can directly carry out the next step of the experiment!”

“Yes.”, Kant nodded and instructed the mages beside him. “Go and tell the marksmen outside the door to take down the golden disc on the top of the large bell tower and send it here for the magic experiment.”

“Yes.”, the mage apprentice immediately nodded and walked out to make arrangements.

Soon, the golden disc was taken down and transported into the dormitory.

The two Vaegir marksmen carried it together and carefully placed it on the round table in the middle.

The golden disc shone with a golden halo along with the light.

Within the sacred sun pattern, mysterious energy was still flowing within it. With the golden light visible to the naked eye, it flickered within the dense and mysterious sacred patterns, reflecting some source of power.

The power of the once Golden Holy City still existed even after thousands of years.

It was just that when everyone looked at the sun disc, they no longer had the respect they once had.

Instead, there was an experiment that was like a blasphemy to it!

For research, the mage apprentices were rational.

And the mage apprentices, who had grasped the foundation of magic and obtained the magic power, they only had respect for the once magnificent power, and did not have the fanatical faith for the so-called G.o.ds.

This was a rational study.

The sun disc was fixed, and the magic equipment inlaid with ten elemental gems was ready.

There were five earth elements and five water elements each.

The seven mage apprentices leaned on the two sides of the round table, the magic staffs in their hands slightly extended forward and aimed at the elemental gems that had been fixed on the magic equipment. They softly chanted an unknown incantation, which appeared with some mysterious rhythm, the pale yellow and pale blue light expanded, and there were even a few pulses that struck the gold-forged round plate directly.

The energy quickly washed away the sacred sun pattern carved on the round plate. It even formed a yellow and blue light, filling up the dent of the sacred sun pattern.

And it filled up more and more until it was full.

“What’s going on…”

Kant raised his eyebrows slightly, and his heart beat slightly faster.

He seemed to have sensed that something was wrong. As the sacred sun pattern was filled up, an even greater power began to spread in the golden disc. He could even see the data flow on the surface of the sacred sun pattern!

“The energy is overloading!”

The leading apprentice exclaimed.

“What?”, Kant was so angry that he laughed. He glared at the apprentice and said, “Is this the magic experiment that created from your so-called magic theory?”

“I’m sorry, my lord… we… are just apprentices…”

The leading apprentice’s eyes were filled with horror.

However, he still said to Kant, “My lord, we overestimated our ability. The energy produced now has completely communicated with this magic item, but we don’t understand the reason. But in order to ensure your safety, please leave the dormitory quickly. Perhaps this place is no longer safe!”

“d.a.m.n it!”, Kant clenched his fists, his eyes filled with anger.

Although these seven mage apprentices had caused a big mess, they were still his troop cla.s.s. He was the one who had confirmed the beginning of this experiment, so he also had his own responsibility. He could not help but remind them, “You all pay attention to your safety!”

“We will… do our best… to make up… to make up for…”

That mage apprentice gritted his teeth and held on.

However, before he could finish his words, the data flow on the sun disk instantly scattered into small cracks. A golden light shot out instantly, carrying yellow and blue light, flying out of the window and disappeared.

At the same time, a sound that sounded like metal trembling also appeared on the sun disk.

“Hum –”

There was continuous buzzing in their ears.

The metallic tremor reverberated throughout the student dormitory.

The people around the round table, including Kant, felt as if their heads had sunk into the sound waves. They suddenly started to feel dizzy. At the same time, a nauseating feeling appeared in their throats because of this dizziness.

It made them want to retch in during their dizziness.

Fortunately, this sudden metallic noise disappeared very quickly.

However, it was followed by the sound of cras.h.i.+ng to the ground.

Seven mage apprentices fell to the ground on their knees because they did not have strong bodies. The food that they had for lunch was thrown all over the ground.

However, the two Vaegir marksmen were still barely in their status.

Despite feeling dizzy, they still forced their way over, wanting to support their Lord Kant.

“There’s no need.”

Kant stretched out his hand, rejecting their support.

Data flowed in his eyes, and the surface of his skin seemed to be covered with a special layer of gauze.

This was the protection of the system.

Just now, when the metallic trill suddenly appeared, Kant had indeed been affected by it and could not help but want to retch, but the data that came from the depths of his soul spread out, clearing away the dizziness in his head. He able to return to normal state, so he did not suffer too much damage.

“I… I’m sorry… Lord.”

The seven mage apprentices also recovered, but at this time, they stood by the side with their heads lowered, wiping the filth at the corners of their mouths, and even their voices became softer.

“Remember today’s mistake,”, Kant reprimanded.

But thinking that he only had these seven mage apprentices, he could not help but sigh. “It’s good that there are no accidents.”

Kant couldn’t accept the fact that someone was injured or killed because of this.

He didn’t die on the battlefield.

Instead, he died in the accident of this magic experiment.

It was really depressing.

Even Kant himself felt somewhat helpless. Except for when he personally led a team to fight against the enemy and experienced such a critical moment when he came to the Oasis Lookout. Ever since the construction of the “Drondheim” fortress, he had never been this close to death, which made his heart beat faster.

Even the expedition army of the Kingdom of Grey Mane did not make Kant excited.

But he also did not intend to punish these mage apprentices.

There was nothing he could do.

In the future, he would have to rely on these mage apprentices to conduct research and a.n.a.lysis on his extraordinary power. He could not order them to have their heads killed just because of this accident. Kant could not do that.

Looking at the regretful expressions of the seven mage apprentices, Kant also understood that they had probably remembered this lesson.

“Clean up the room.”

However, Kant did not say anything more. He casually reminded them and left with the two Vaegir marksmen. At this time, it was the right thing to let them reflect on themselves.

Although there was no punishment, it did not mean that Kant was not angry.

This indeed put his life in danger.

He did not want to stay in this filthy and rotten dormitory either.

However, just as he walked out of the dormitory, a Vaegir marksman quickly walked over. With a surprised look on his face, he pointed to the north and shouted at Kant, “My lord, look, north, is that a dark cloud?”

“What dark cloud?”, Kant turned his head, but his eyes instantly widened.

Just at the horizon in the north, a dark cloud-like weather phenomena was surging towards them,

it blotted out the sky and covered the sun. It was really like a storm cloud in the sea!

Kant’s eyes widened, and a thought flashed through his mind. At the same time, as the dark shadow that blotted out the sky pounced towards them, he turned his head and shouted, “It’s a sandstorm!”

The strong wind whistled past and blew Kant’s hair.

The linen clothes on his body were fluttering!

“Sound the alarm!”

Kant opened his mouth and a large amount of sand entered his mouth.

The strong smell of earth made him cough, but he still covered his face, he ordered angrily, “Everyone, immediately take care of the livestock, then enter the house and the arrow tower to avoid the sandstorm, block the doors and windows, and wait for the bell to sound when it’s over. You are not allowed to leave the room until it’s over!”

“Yes!”, Vaegir marksman obeyed and quickly moved.

In a short moment, the strong wind whistled, bringing countless dust and sand particles with it. The originally clean and refres.h.i.+ng air was now so gray that it could not be seen clearly.

The most terrifying weather in the desert, the sandstorm was about to arrive!
