Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 399 Problems with Laboratory Mice

What is the key reason why you can't add points?
Yaro's body lacks the core power of the 'Seed of Life', and there are no essential conditions for the 'Blood Rage' technique to be learned.

Does that mean this secret technique has no value?
of course not!

Except for the 'Seed of Life' which is impossible to achieve, all the physical movements in this secret technique can be accomplished even by non-official knights!
In other words, as long as the contents of the 'Seed of Life' are removed, this secret technique can be learned by adding points!

What is the use?

Just as a person cannot climb ten floors in one step, what if you send a person to the last step at the bottom of the tenth floor?

Doesn't that reduce the difficulty by 90%?

Moreover, none of the information in the entire secret technique is isolated; they all point to the same result: guiding the flow of 'vital energy' to infect the heart muscle, thereby controlling the heart and flesh.

So, if you learn the other parts, even if you can't control your heart muscle, could you still have some impact on your 'vitality'?
"Speaking of which... I often design and enhance cultivation techniques, but this is truly the first time I've ever weakened one."

Looking at the parchment scroll on the table, Yarrow fell into deep thought.

Weakening is not a simple one-size-fits-all approach. It's especially like the 'Seed of Life' in 'Blood Frenzy', where the entire secret technique is designed around the 'Seed of Life'.

Even when weakening a technique, it's best to achieve the effect of "gathering like a ball of fire and scattering like stars in the sky," drawing away the main trunk and strengthening the branches.

The core objective can be shifted from 'controlling the assimilation of life seeds into the myocardium' to 'strengthening these voluntary muscles on the body surface that can influence the flow of life force'.

This clarifies the direction of progress, accelerates the process of becoming a formal knight, and allows one to possess their own knightly secret techniques the moment they become a formal knight.

Having a direction is one thing, but actually putting it into practice is not an easy task, because every section of the entire manual needs to be carefully considered and transformed, and many parts need to be verified and modified.

Verify what?
Of course, after removing the 'seed of life' from the main stem, can certain actions still continue to affect 'vitality'?
This is no easy task.

Copying, verifying, writing, revising... there are so many things to do, it's impossible to finish in half a day.

……

After Yaro glanced at it, he handed the parchment scroll to Bevan.

"Teacher Yarrow, what's wrong?" Bevan took the parchment scroll with some confusion.

“I’ve finished reading it. It’s true that only formal knights can learn knightly secret techniques. However, I have some guesses about it, but it’s not suitable to verify them now. Let’s talk about it after we finish tomorrow’s business,” Yaro said with a smile.

"Teacher, are you going out again tomorrow?" Bevan asked, somewhat reluctantly.

"Yes, I'm going to take over the viscountry tomorrow. Oh, by the way..."

Suddenly remembering something, Yaro changed the subject and asked, "Do you know what happened in the Viscount's territory a few days ago?"

"Take over the Viscount's territory? Teacher, what happened there?" Bevin asked in astonishment.

"It's nothing serious, don't worry."

Yaro originally intended to make Bevin the nominal master of the Viscountry to reduce the potential hostility between the Viscountry's people and the Kingdom of Lanelli.

The fact that the deputy butler, Dylan, did not tell Bevan what had happened earlier indicates that Baron Claire did not want Bevan to be exposed to the darkness of the world too early, and Yarrow gave up on this idea.

'If the name is not correct, the words will not be proper; if the name is not in one's own hands, it is inconvenient to use the viscount's territory to do things.'

'Besides... it's not a good thing to use your own students. Let them handle the trouble.'

With that in mind, Yaro gave Bevin a few perfunctory words, then got up and left the room. ...

"Lord Yaro!"

Turning around, Yaro saw the little girl standing to the side of the gate, looking up at him like a well-behaved kitten.

Yaro paused, then asked, "Heli, is there anything else?"

"Lord Yaro, there seems to be a problem with the data from the experimental mice recently. Could you... take a look?" Heri asked timidly.

Besides learning the knowledge passed down by Yaro, Heli's main daily task was to raise the experimental mice left over from Yaro's previous tests on the white-whiskered mice.

"Of course, it's my responsibility anyway. I should thank you for taking care of me all this time without finding it troublesome."

Yaro smiled gently and casually took the data book the girl handed him.

With just a glance, his expression immediately turned serious, and he focused intently on observing several sets of data.

According to the data sheet, the experimental group, which consisted of all the mice that had eaten the white velvet, had been experiencing abnormal weight loss over the past two days!
For a month, the experimental group and the control group ate the same food and lived in the same environment, including using the same balance for weighing. Under these circumstances, why did the experimental group mice lose weight inexplicably?
Yaro frowned.

You should know that after verifying that the white velvet was harmless a few days ago, he also ate quite a lot of it while training as a knight!
However, after turning to the next two pages, he secretly felt relieved.

'Hmm... the fact that there haven't been mass deaths among the lab mice means that this isn't the most serious problem yet.'

Thinking of this, Yaro looked up and asked, "Why didn't they lose weight yesterday and today? Did you discover something and tidy them up?"

“No, Lord Yaro, I just don’t know why this is happening, so I brought it to you to take a look,” Heri said, shaking her head.

"So... what changes can be seen with the naked eye when those mice lose weight?"

Heri frowned as she recalled, "It seems like she's gotten a little smaller."

"It seems" is not a reliable indicator.

"How is his eating condition and mental state?" Yaro had no choice but to ask again.

"It doesn't seem like anything has changed. They always eat everything very clean," the little girl pondered.

"That's it..."

Arro mentally listed all the possible scenarios that could occur.

"Lord Yaro, did you notice?" Heri asked cautiously.

Yaro chuckled, "I don't know how to predict magic, how could I possibly guess the problem out of thin air?"

"what should I do then."

The girl's face scrunched up in a bitter expression; she desperately wanted to do the job that Yaro had entrusted to her.

"What should we do? List all the possible causes of this result, then regroup the mice that ate the white fuzz, and test each hypothesis one by one using the same method as before. Then compare the results with the control group, and we should be able to find the cause of the problem."

As Yaro was explaining, a thought that was unrelated to the question suddenly flashed through his mind.

"Speaking of which, wouldn't you say Bevin and Holly have chosen their majors? Bevin is mainly studying 'wizarding,' while Holly is pursuing 'science' from her previous life."
