The most powerful wizard in the magic world

Gerling stood by the window of the laboratory. The dark sky outside the window seemed to reflect the gloom in his heart. The laboratory was filled with a pungent smell of medicine, and the colorful test tubes and complex instruments made him feel suffocated.

He has paused his brutal experiments in favor of more cautious data collection, knowing that such a change, albeit a slow one, will at least keep him on track.

"Are you sure this is the right thing to do, Gerling?" Assistant Lily came in, with a hint of hesitation and worry on her face. At this moment, her eyes were like the dark sky outside the window, and the anxiety that could not be concealed spread in her heart.

"I have no way to retreat, Lily. Past experiments have allowed me to see too many innocent souls struggling in pain." Gerling's voice was low but firm. He turned his head and stared at his assistant. He knew that Lily had been with him during his most painful times, but there was a flicker of doubt in her eyes.

"However, data collection may not necessarily lead to a real breakthrough. What we need is action, not just changes in numerical values!" Lily raised her chin slightly, with a faint flame flickering in her eyes. She didn't want him to give up.

"I want to make sure that everything we do is for real science, not for temporary achievements and honors." Gerling responded to her with a firm look, which was like the brightest star in the dark night, striking Lily's heart.

Time seemed to stop at this moment, and the tense atmosphere in the air was suffocating. Lily couldn't help but sigh, turned around and walked to a desk, picked up a data report, and began to sort out the papers showing the experimental results. She wanted to understand Gerling's feelings at this moment, but she hoped that he would consider more radical measures.

"Gerlin, do you really want to spend your whole life surrounded by data? Don't you think there are more neglected lives hidden behind these numbers?" Lily's voice became lower and lower, but every word she said was like a knife piercing into Gerlin's heart.

Gellin slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly said: "To me, data is not just numbers, but the pain carried by each individual. The deeper I go, the more I can feel the weight of this responsibility." He walked to the window and pointed to the woods outside the window. "Look at the greenery there, life is struggling and growing. I hope that one day, I can truly benefit them instead of continuing the chapter of pain."

Lily was slightly shocked. She knew where Gelling's persistence came from. In the past few years, she witnessed Gelling's transformation from a scientist who was keen on experiments to a person who pursued both ethics and science. His change also prompted her to think about her own position on this path.

"But Gerlin, this requires more courage!" Lily's emotions fluctuated. "We can't give up exploring. We can't believe that everything can be answered by piling up data!"

"The definition of courage is more than that," Gellin turned around and faced Lily, with a hint of tenderness in his eyes. "I need courage to carry out the changes in my heart, and your opposition also makes me see the significance of continuing to explore. However, any scientific breakthrough takes time, and we can't rush for success."

Lily nodded silently. She knew that behind Gerling's persistence and perseverance was a deeper humanitarian spirit. She said softly, "So, what are you going to do next?"

"First, I will conduct a series of ethical assessments and discuss with outside experts. We need to be fully prepared for the next step." Gerling's eyes were firm and his tone was slightly heavy.

"I will support you, although I still hope to go further in my heart." Lily said seriously, her voice was particularly clear in the empty air of the laboratory.

"Thank you, Lily." Gelling smiled slightly, and the sadness on his face was gradually replaced by recognition. He knew that having someone like Lily around to support him was an indispensable part of him. On the road of science, loneliness is inevitable, but having friends walking with you is a different story.

As time went by, their work gradually bore fruit. Through a series of rigorous discussions and evaluations, Gerling and Lilly wrote a detailed research plan, which focused on improving the ethical issues in previous experiments. They also invited more industry experts to participate in this plan and jointly explore the combination of science and ethics.

"We want to turn this conference into a stage for display." Lily said with bright eyes on the eve of the meeting, "This is a brand new beginning and also a chance to say goodbye to the past."

"Yes, we are not trying to escape, but to face a brighter future." Gerling nodded, with excitement and anticipation spreading in his heart.

The meeting was held as scheduled. Many experts sat in the conference room, discussing one after another. Gerling stood on the podium, holding the materials tightly in his hands. Although he was a little nervous, he tried to keep himself calm. He began to explain his research plan and his views on the combination of science and ethics.

“Each of us researchers must shoulder greater responsibilities, not only regarding data and future discoveries, but also the dignity and value of life. Today, we stand at this crossroads, not only for science, but also for humanity.” His voice was sonorous and powerful, resounding throughout the conference room, and his invisible power infected everyone present.

After the event, warm applause broke out in the conference room. Lily looked at Gerling with satisfaction. She knew that this man had finally found his original intention. As he said, he should respect and cherish life.
