The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 453 Forbidden Experiments
David stood at the entrance to the Blood Pool Illusion, looking around with a solemn expression.

This place might unlock the secrets in his heart and allow him to confront the truth hidden in his bloodline.

As he ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery began to blur and distort, as if the entire world was collapsing and rebuilding before his eyes.

Suddenly, a powerful force pulled him in, and he felt as if he were being drawn into an endless vortex.

When David opened his eyes again, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar world.

This world is filled with bloodshed and chaos; the sky is shrouded in thick, dark clouds, and the earth is torn apart by endless abyssal fissures.

A suffocating and terrifying atmosphere permeated the surroundings, making him feel like he was suffocating.

He looked around and saw a woman in a black robe standing on the edge of the abyss. Her figure appeared particularly lonely and resolute in the dim light.

This woman was the first bloodline wizard—Garona.

Garona stared into the abyss before her, her eyes filled with resolve and sacrifice.

David could feel the powerful energy surging within her, as if it were about to erupt at any moment.

Suddenly, a deep roar came from the abyss rift, and an evil and powerful force surged out, launching a fierce attack on Garona.

Garona fearlessly stepped forward, wielding her staff and unleashing dazzling rays of light as she engaged in a fierce battle with the evil force.

David watched this scene in shock, discovering that Garona's combat skills bore a striking resemblance to his self-created Chaos Staircase.

They were all using the distortion and displacement of space to evade enemy attacks and seize the opportunity to launch a fatal blow.

This similarity across time and space made David begin to wonder if there was some mysterious connection between his bloodline and Garona.

The battle was extremely fierce, and Garona and the evil force were locked in a stalemate.

However, as time went on, Garona's stamina began to decline, and her movements became increasingly slow.

But that evil force seemed to have no end, constantly launching fierce attacks on her.

Just when Garona was about to be in dire straits, she suddenly made a surprising decision.

She took a deep breath and then plunged her staff into the ground.

Immediately afterwards, she formed hand seals, chanted incantations, and began to cast an ancient sealing spell.

As the magic was cast, Garona's body began to emit a dazzling light, and her figure gradually became blurred.

The evil force seemed to sense the threat and began to attack her even more frantically.

But Garona did not back down; she steadfastly maintained the sealing magic.

Finally, with a deafening roar, Garona successfully sealed the abyssal rift with her own body.

That evil force was completely contained within the rift and could no longer pose a threat to the world.

Garona's body turned into specks of light and dissipated into the air.

David witnessed this scene and was filled with shock and emotion.

He realized that Garona was not only a powerful sorceress, but also a selfless hero.

She sacrificed her life for world peace and tranquility, and he deeply admired her spirit of self-sacrifice.

At the same time, David also understood the legacy and mission in his bloodline.

As a descendant of Garona, he must not only inherit her strength and wisdom, but also carry on her spirit of sacrifice and dedication.

In his future adventures, he will use his actions to defend peace and justice in the multiverse.

Deep within the Blood Pool Illusion, David also found an ancient book.

This book records Garona's life and all the magic and skills she possessed.

David studied the book carefully, trying to draw more knowledge and strength from it.

Through this experience, David gained a deeper understanding of his lineage and mission.

He understood that as a wizard, he not only needed to pursue the improvement of his power, but also to focus on his inner cultivation and growth.

Only in this way can he truly become a great wizard and contribute his power to the future of the multiverse.

When David awoke from the Blood Pool illusion, he found himself back in the real world.

The witches had been anxiously waiting for him, and they all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him return safely.

David told the witches about his experience in the Blood Pool illusion, and they were all shocked and moved.

They realized that David not only inherited Garona's strength and wisdom, but also her spirit of sacrifice and dedication.

This legacy fills them with confidence and anticipation for David.

In the days to come, David and the witches continued to unite and forge ahead.

They constantly explore the unknown world, challenge powerful enemies, and search for ways to become seventh-ring wizards.

Amidst the solemnity and mystery of the Bloodborne Temple, David and his companions are immersed in the joy and rewards of their exploration, while Liliana, a witch of both wisdom and keen insight, discovers a disturbing sight on the outskirts of the temple.

The area around the temple should have been quiet and solemn, but Liliana keenly sensed something amiss.

She wandered through the ruins, her gaze sweeping over every inch of the land, trying to discover hidden secrets in the details.

Suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a seemingly ordinary yet unusually twisted root system.

The plant has a large and complex root system that is entwined among the stones of the ruins, emitting an eerie green glow.

As Liliana approached and took a closer look, a chill ran through her.

This root system was completely different from the root system of the mother tree she knew well; it appeared twisted and withered, as if it had been corrupted by some evil force.

Liliana crouched down and carefully examined the root system. She discovered that the surface of the root system was covered with strange patterns and symbols, which looked ancient and mysterious, as if they contained some unknown power.

Her heart was filled with doubt and unease. She realized that this root system might have some profound connection to the past of the Star-Eyed Clan.

"Everyone, come quick!" Liliana called out to her companions urgently, her voice filled with a mix of nervousness and excitement.

David, Amy, Cynthia, and Otas rushed over upon hearing the commotion. They surrounded Liliana, all gazing at the corroded roots.

Everyone's face showed surprise and doubt; they had no idea what secrets this root system held.

"What is this?" Cynthia asked first.

Liliana shook her head, pondered for a moment, and then said, "This root system is completely different from the root system of the mother tree that we are familiar with. It appears unusually twisted and withered."

I suspect it might have some connection to the Star-Eyed Clan's past.

"The Star-Eyed Clan?" David was taken aback. He hadn't expected that this root system would be related to his clan. "You mean, the Star-Eyed Clan once conducted some kind of experiment here?"

Liliana nodded and continued, "According to ancient records, the Star-Eyed Clan once possessed a powerful forbidden magic that could manipulate the power of life and death. However, this magic was also extremely dangerous, and the slightest mistake could lead to catastrophic consequences. I suspect that this corrupted root system may be related to that forbidden magic."

Upon hearing this, his companions all showed expressions of shock.

They never imagined that the Star-Eyed Clan had once mastered such dangerous magic, let alone that this magic might be related to this root system.

“So what should we do now?” Amy asked.

After a moment's thought, Liliana said, "We need to continue our investigation to find out the specific connection between this root system and the Star-Eyed Clan's forbidden experiments. At the same time, we must be wary of potential dangers, as this forbidden magic may have already caused some unknown consequences."

Led by Liliana, the group began investigating the root system.

They searched every corner of the ruins meticulously, trying to find clues related to forbidden experiments.

After much effort, they finally discovered some ancient documents and scrolls in a hidden basement.

These documents and scrolls record in detail the forbidden experiments conducted by the Star-Eyed Clan and the possible consequences.

It turns out that the Star-Eyed Clan once attempted to enhance their strength by manipulating the power of life and death, but they underestimated the danger of this magic.

During the experiment, they accidentally released an evil force that spread rapidly, corrupting the surrounding plants and creatures and ultimately leading to this catastrophic outcome.

After reading these documents and scrolls, the group felt a chill of fear.

They realized that if the Star-Eyed Clan had not stopped this forbidden experiment in time, the entire multiverse could have been plunged into an irreversible catastrophe.

“It seems we need to leave here quickly,” Ortas said. “This place is full of unknown dangers, and we can’t investigate any further.”

However, Liliana shook her head and said firmly, "No, we can't just leave like this. We must figure out the specific connection between this root system and the forbidden experiments, and whether it poses a threat to the multiverse. Only then can we ensure our safety in the future."

At Liliana's insistence, the group decided to continue the investigation.

They carefully explored every corner of the basement, trying to find more clues and evidence.

After much effort, they finally discovered a hidden passage that seemed to lead to a deeper, more secret area.

The passageway was dark and damp, filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

They walked along the passage, and after an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at a huge underground laboratory.

This laboratory, built of unknown materials, emits a faint green glow, as if it were a world full of unknowns and dangers.

Upon entering the laboratory, the group was shocked by what they saw.

The laboratory was filled with all sorts of strange instruments and devices, which looked both ancient and mysterious, as if they contained some unknown power.

In the center of the laboratory, there was a huge root system of a mother tree. This root system was completely different from the corroded root system that Liliana had found before. It appeared to be full of life and vitality.

"Is this where the Star-Eyed Clan conducts forbidden experiments?" David asked in surprise.

Liliana nodded and continued, "It seems so. This root system may be the original form of the mother tree, while the corroded root system we found outside may be a product of a failed experiment. We need to investigate this laboratory carefully to find out the specific process and consequences of the experiment."

Led by Liliana, the group began to carefully search every corner of the laboratory.

They discovered detailed records and research materials on taboo experiments, which revealed the entire process of the experiments and their potential consequences.

At the same time, they also discovered some mysterious items and runes related to the experiment, which may contain some unknown power and secrets.

After much effort, the group finally figured out the specific process and consequences of the experiment.

It turns out that the Star-Eyed Clan once attempted to enhance their strength by manipulating the power of the Mother Tree's root system, but they accidentally released an evil power.

This force spread rapidly, corroding the surrounding plants and organisms and causing a series of catastrophic consequences.

To stop this power from spreading further, the Star-Eyed Clan had to take extreme measures, sealing the failed root system in the ruins and hiding the secret of the laboratory.

After learning the truth, the group felt shocked and uneasy.

They realized that this taboo experiment was not only extremely dangerous, but could also pose a threat to the entire multiverse.

Therefore, they decided to take immediate action to properly dispose of the dangerous items and runes in the laboratory and seal off the secret area to prevent anyone from coming into contact with these dangerous forces again.

Before leaving the laboratory, Liliana gazed affectionately at the vibrant root system of the mother tree.

She was filled with emotion and awe, realizing that this root system not only represented the past and glory of the Star-Eyed Clan, but also carried the future and hope of the entire multiverse.

She secretly vowed to use her knowledge and wisdom to protect the safety of this root system and the entire multiverse.

Back at the temple, the companions told the others about their discoveries in the laboratory.

Everyone expressed their appreciation and gratitude for Liliana's keen insight and courage.

They realized that this exploration not only gave them a deeper understanding of the Star-Eyed race's past and the secrets of their forbidden experiments, but also made them realize the importance of protecting the safety of the multiverse.

They continued their exploration, but with their current strength, it was no longer easy to improve it further.
