Chapter 142: Chapter 142

Locke looked at the test report in his hand and said, "The vampire baron has actually overcome the common vampire weaknesses of fearing flames and being afraid of wooden stakes through the heart."

"At the same time, light cannot kill him, but he retains the characteristic of fearing light, light will blind him."

"The simplest method is to use a curse-dispelling potion similar to the Minor Viridian Potion to completely purify him. However, dispel magic and holy magic can still kill him."

"Also, I'm not certain whether he can be immune to higher-level First Circle elemental magic." Locke fell into contemplation, because he had just conducted another round of cutting experiments on Howard, discovering that Howard could survive having any part of his body cut open.

The only exception was that his head couldn't be severed, or he would die immediately.

Locke certainly wouldn't kill such a hard-to-come-by precious test subject, such rare specimens weren't commonly available.

"If it were First Circle elemental magic, it would probably completely annihilate him in an instant. So this level of vampire baron's undead body still retains a bunch of weaknesses," Locke wrote in his report.

"Moreover, it has gained many weaknesses that ordinary creatures don't have, such as fearing holy magic, fearing dispel magic, fearing protective barriers, undead repulsion barriers, and so on... It's a bloodline transformation with both advantages and disadvantages."

Locke's eyes showed some contempt.

As long as proper investigation was done and preparations made in advance, many of their weaknesses would actually make them even weaker.

The White Wizard Association certainly didn't lack wizards skilled in holy magic, dispel magic, and potion studies.

Locke set aside his completed report, which could be submitted to the academy library.

The academy's public library had its own reward system. If one's report was evaluated as valuable, it would be scored, and based on the score, magic stone rewards would be given. Simultaneously, it would be made public in the academy's public library for all wizards in the academy to reference.

In a sense, this was a form of information sharing.

The southeastern quadrant had the most public libraries from various major academies, as well as White Wizard Association-level libraries established by the White Wizard Association.

The Association libraries and the public libraries of various wizard organizations had both hierarchical and competitive relationships.

The major wizard organizations still greatly treasured magical knowledge and wouldn't easily share it with other wizard organizations, so they tried to preserve their unique portions of magical knowledge, and even other magical knowledge.

The White Wizard Association's corresponding measure was to establish a patent system and periodically require subordinate wizard organizations to partially open their public libraries to the Association, to enhance the Association's documentation of research achievements throughout the southeastern quadrant's White Wizard Association.

Previously, Locke hadn't much engaged with the public library, Association library system simply because he had been promoted to first-class wizard apprentice for too short a time.

He didn't have anything on hand that could be converted to resource rewards and reputation rewards at the library. Before earning enough money from magical plant breeding methods and potion formulas, he couldn't make them public.

The several products currently in his possession could be made public after he became a First Circle wizard.

This way, he would earn both money and reputation.

However, this time he had captured a first-class wizard apprentice level vampire, and he believed the intelligence gathered from him might not be very useful for high-level libraries like the Association library, and the rewards obtainable would be few.

But for Lilith's Cottage's public library, it would be a rare resource.

Locke stared at Howard with fiery eyes.

The value of a vampire baron test subject was truly enormous, he couldn't buy one even with money.

This vampire could completely serve as high-level potion experimental material for his personal pharmacy.

The Minor Viridian Potion and the Bear Spirit Bile Detoxification Potion formula he previously wanted to innovate could both be tested on him for experimental data.

He could generate a bunch of high-quality experimental data from him.

Locke tapped the operating table with his fingers. "I don't need to worry about the White Wizard Association's ethical review mechanism."

"In the White Wizard Association's eyes, black wizards have already been stripped of their humanity. Whatever I do, no one will have objections. Besides, this person previously wanted to kill me."

"And wanted to destroy my experimental data."

"So making him pay a little price is reasonable."

Locke indeed needed this kind of high-quality test subject.

If he publicly announced that he had a vampire baron in his possession, probably most of Lilith's Cottage's pharmacies would immediately negotiate with him, wanting to purchase it from him.

After all, such test subjects were extremely rare and would be top-tier goods at the slave market. If Locke wanted to buy this level of goods, he would go bankrupt and still might not be able to afford it.

Lilith's Cottage was currently engaged in a wizard war with the Blood Curse Court, which further increased the value of this vampire test subject.

Locke had no intention of selling it, but renting out this vampire in the future wouldn't be bad.

Locke looked at Howard and thought, "Keeping him in the laboratory is too unsafe. He'll eventually fully recover due to his undead body. I'd better put him in my teacher's magical creature breeding room, that place has the safest security mechanisms."

"I'll move him there first, then inform my teacher later. She should agree."

"If my teacher also needs to use him for experiments, we can share him."

In the restraining cage, vampire Howard was furious, "You hypocritical white wizards, you've finally shown your true nature!"

"Don't let me get out! If I can get out, I'll dig out your heart and your brain and eat them raw, eat them raw!"

Locke paid little attention to his words. In Locke's eyes, black wizards had committed countless evils. When they were powerful, they could arbitrarily decide others' fates, so they shouldn't blame others for being able to arbitrarily decide their own fates when others were in the stronger position.

In Witch Sophia's office.

Witch Sophia smiled and said, "Locke, you did well. I indeed need a high-level test subject recently."

"The wizard organizations in the Star Domain Sea have a requirement in my teaching position assessment to create a new variety potion formula targeting undead creatures."

Witch Sophia continued, "You've saved me quite a bit of trouble." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Locke said, "Then teacher, I'll put that vampire in your custody for safekeeping. You help me preserve him, and I'll high-level test subject with you."

Witch Sophia smiled slightly, "That's fine."

This kind of transaction was fairly common among white wizards, as high-level test subjects could help them produce results more easily.

However, high-level test subjects were relatively scarce, so mentors and students often shared some high-level experimental materials.

Usually, it was wizard mentors sharing such resources with their students.
