Chapter 17: Anatomy, Witchcraft

"Witchcraft?" Carly looked at Lucian's gentle eyes, but her heart began to beat uncontrollably.

Powerful witchcraft, great wizard!
She would never forget the usually high-handed earl crawling at the feet of the third-level wizard apprentice who guided them, nor would she forget the scene when the lord caused several robbers to spontaneously combust and die with a wave of his hand while they were on the road.

But just as Carly was immersed in her fantasy, Lucian suddenly changed the subject, and even a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"But even to perform the simplest witchcraft, you need to solidify at least three spirit runes. Carly, after you learn witchcraft, you must not fall behind in meditation."

"Ah..." Carly's face fell.

Three spiritual runes? She still hadn't solidified one spiritual rune yet.

Lucian naturally noticed the change in Carly's expression, but he did it on purpose.

If there is no visible carrot placed in front of Carly, there is no way to mobilize Carly's subjective initiative.

And now for Carly, being able to perform witchcraft is undoubtedly a juicy carrot.

"Okay, if you want to cast witchcraft, in addition to meeting the mental strength requirements, you also need to learn today's knowledge firmly first." Lucian stretched out his hand and tapped Carly lightly on the head.

"Woo..." Carly hugged her little head.

Lucian ignored Carly's antics and directly took out a set of "experimental tools" from the cabinet next to him.

A variety of needles, knives, tweezers, pliers, and even axes.

Carly looked at this set of tools that seemed to be full of blood and held her breath slightly.

"Anatomy is a basic subject that emphasizes experiments. In the future, if you encounter any special creatures that interest you, you can also use anatomical methods to directly observe their internal structures and transform this natural structure into knowledge that belongs only to you." Lucian began to teach Carly while checking various instruments.

"I will dissect a rock salamander and tell you the operating skills and related knowledge of the nine most commonly used dissecting instruments..."

Carly looked at Lucian wiping a scalpel until it was shiny, and her face turned pale.

Lucian saw it all, but said nothing. After all, what wizard wouldn't bleed? Since Carly had already embarked on this path, she had to adapt!

Lucian opened a cage nearby and took out a 40-centimeter-long rock salamander from the cage. Regardless of its struggle, he pressed it firmly on the dissecting table.

"There are two types of dissection. One is live dissection, which requires the subject to be alive during the dissection process in order to observe the operation of a certain structure in its body. For example, in the experiment of observing water arrow trout that we will learn later, we need to ensure that the subject is alive during the observation process."

"Of course, for the rock salamander, we don't need to go through so much trouble. We can use a simpler autopsy or anesthesia. So before the dissection, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble caused by the rock salamander's struggle, we can calm it down first."

Lucian reached out and gently soothed the rock salamander on the dissection table, which also made Carly, who was worried beside him, breathe a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, a bone-piercing needle appeared in Lucian's hand, which pierced accurately, quickly, and ruthlessly from behind the second scale behind the first spine of the rock fire lizard, directly destroying the latter's central nervous system.

The rock salamander just twisted its body slightly and soon became "docile". "Ah——" Carly stood up in shock at this sudden scene.

However, under Lucian's calm gaze, Carly sat down again awkwardly and revealed a somewhat ugly smile.

[Your student Carly is in awe of you, Respect value +1]

“Come closer. How can you see clearly if you sit so far away?” Lucian frowned. To be honest, although the knowledge was very clear in his mind, he felt a little nauseous after practicing it.

However, in front of Carly, Lucian forced himself to conceal his discomfort. Instead, he looked at a little quail beside him and ordered little Carly to come closer in a rather indifferent tone.

Then Lucian picked up the scalpel beside him.

……

As anatomical materials, the scales, muscles, and internal organs of the rock salamander are all materials for anatomical research. However, as an extraordinary creature that can cast spells, the most worthy of study is naturally its "fire-breathing system" that contains the mysteries of natural magical patterns, and this is naturally the focus of Lucian's anatomy class.

"Fire bag." Lucian moved aside slightly and motioned for Carly to come forward and take a look at this special organ hidden in the lower jaw of the rock fire lizard.

Carly held her breath at this moment, and quickly memorized the various characteristics of the flame bag, the special fire-resistant cortex, and the special secretions inside that were similar to high-quality sulfur powder.

“A throat with natural magical patterns.” Lucian gently pointed with forceps to the intact throat that he had deliberately preserved during the autopsy.

"Use your mental power to simulate the structure of the magic patterns in the throat of the rock fire lizard as a witchcraft model. Then prepare some sulfur powder or the fire bag of the rock fire lizard as the spell material. Finally, use the magic power in your body as an inspiration to form a witchcraft." Lucian said as he held a handful of sulfur powder in his left hand and began to demonstrate the whole process of casting witchcraft in front of Carly.

boom--

The sulfur powder in Lucian's left hand began to combine quickly with the witchcraft model he constructed after a slight explosion. Countless scattered magic elements were attracted by the witchcraft model and combined with the sulfur powder like dough, eventually forming a small ball of orange-red unstable colloid.

Lucian manipulated his mental power and threw the small ball of jelly toward the stone target in front of him. When the ball of jelly collided with the stone target, it exploded and turned into a flame that adhered to the stone.

Carly's eyes suddenly lit up, because she recognized this flame. It was the witchcraft that the third-level wizard apprentice used to deal with the robbers when he first accepted them as new blood.

But soon, Lucian stopped maintaining the spell and looked at Kali, asking a question. "Well, Kali, can you tell me whether the spell I just cast has any flaws? And how can we improve it?"

Carly blinked, stretched out a finger as if a little uncertain, and then slowly pointed it at herself.

"I?"

There seems to be a big question mark in the little head.

“This is not a serious question.” Lucian looked at Carly’s confused expression and twitched his lips. “You can treat this as an open topic for discussion. As wizards, we should not only simulate these natural spell patterns, but also transform them to achieve better practical effects.”

"For example, when we want to perform this magic, what should we do if we lack flammable substances such as sulfur as materials for performing the spell?"
