Industrial Revolution of the Mage Lords

Chapter 203 Forum Reunion
When the seriously injured Chris woke up from a deep coma, he found himself lying in the underground laboratory of the lord's castle. Reiner and Asdalen, two soul alchemy creations, were standing on his left and right, seemingly preparing for some experiment.

"My Lord..." he called out weakly, unable to conceal the excitement and desire on his face, "Are you going to conduct a body transformation experiment on me immediately?"

Harvey walked over to him, rolled his eyes, and said speechlessly, "It's just a broken leg and an arm. It's not necessary to transfer your entire soul into an alchemical carrier."

He paused, frowned, and sternly rebuked, "Chris, tell me honestly, why are you performing dangerous operations alone in the lab late at night?"

To be honest, Harvey was very skeptical. Given this guy's fanatical attitude towards life alchemy and soul transfer experiments, it was not impossible that he had deliberately created this accident.

Chris curled his lips, his expression a little hurt and aggrieved. "Sir, you don't suspect I did this on purpose, do you? Although I do desire a soul transfer... I absolutely will not gamble my life on such a meaningless gamble. After all, as long as I stay by your side, I will get what I want one day."

Harvey's expression eased slightly when he heard this, and he asked in a relaxed tone, "So what are you doing? How dare you handle something as dangerous and flammable as Dragon Fire Powder on your own?"

"I was inspired by the unique alchemical vehicle you developed—the Magic Car. I want to find a substance to replace liquid magic energy as the energy fuel for the Magic Car. The energy generated by the burning and explosion of dragon fire is, to some extent..."

Harvey sighed. To a certain extent, the alchemists of this era were no less adventurous and adventurous in their exploration of knowledge than the scientific pioneers he had read about in textbooks in his previous life. It was just that they unfortunately lived in a magical world full of extraordinary powers, and too many of their concepts and cognitions were shackled and hindered by magic.

Dragon fire, an alchemical creation whose form and function are exactly the same as gunpowder, can indeed replace gunpowder as a new type of driving energy in some cases. Unfortunately, although Chris thought of this, he still lacked research on the most critical energy conversion method.

What Harvey needs most at the moment is to find the core of the magic vein that is rumored to be buried deep in the center of the Divine Spine Mountains. Only there can a large amount of liquid magic energy be produced that can replace oil as a power fuel.

"After you recover from your injury, spare half of your working time to come to my laboratory. I will explain to you in detail why dragon fire cannot replace magic power to drive alchemical vehicles..."

Harvey then pointed to a row of brand new alchemical limbs placed beside Chris's bed and joked in a comforting tone, "Okay, before you take the anesthetic and fall into a coma, pick out a pair of alchemical prosthetics you like..."

Reiner immediately and enthusiastically introduced it to Chris, who was lying on the experimental table. "This is a mechanical arm that has been fused with the soul of a primate. It has the highest degree of flexibility... This pair of mechanical lower limbs is transformed from the soul of a camel and is extremely stable..."

Chris pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked Harvey, "Sir, why must alchemical prosthetic limbs be made in human form? Can I choose to... transplant myself a set of octopus-like limbs like those of the Wolf Spider Beast?"

He became increasingly excited as he spoke, seemingly forgetting the pain of his severed limbs. He chattered on, "And arms. The mechanical tentacles Mr. Reiner occasionally uses in his experiments are quite good, but they're a bit too few. I hope to have more than ten flexible tentacles..."

Harvey felt a chill in his heart and decisively rolled his eyes to reject Chris's crazy request.

"No! You can only choose humanoid prosthetic limbs. Any other suggestions are too perverted! I reject your request!"

……

After finishing Chris's limb transplant surgery, Harvey sent someone to carry him back to the territory medical hospital to continue recuperating. After all, it was a major surgery involving three limb transplants, and this guy obviously needed to lie down for a long time before he could recover.

It was exactly 8:50 pm. Harvey almost forgot it was Friday and the forum meeting was open. He hurried to the magic network teleportation array and returned the legendary magic weapon "Shapeshifting Eye" that the Shadow Knight had lent him. On their way out of Alayeh, they had been attacked, and their soul puppet had been completely destroyed by the high-level ice magic. They could only remove the magic weapon implanted in its eye and then have Mr. Son of Flame incinerate it along with the attacker's headless body and the carriage.

Harvey could already foresee that tonight's exchange meeting would be another heated one, and it would definitely revolve around his trip to Alaye for a magic duel.

[Hand of Elements: Good evening, everyone! Greetings to Mr. Turing...]

After the familiar opening remarks and greetings, the topic of the exchange meeting immediately shifted to Harvey.

[Son of Flame: Everyone, through your respective private information channels, you should have already known the outcome of Mr. Kel'Thuzad's magic duel, right?]

Son of Flame: Haha, I personally witnessed this magnificent magical duel. The high-level spells and techniques used by Mr. Kel'Thuzad are in no way inferior to those battle mages hiding in the Evil Moon Mountains. As a member of the Spellcaster Forum, I feel honored...

Stormrunner: Hahaha! I've been worried about Mr. Kel'Thuzad for days, but it seems my worries were unnecessary. Being able to publicly teach a lesson to those traitors in the Union and the Wizarding Kingdom who sided with the Church of Light is truly a relief for those spellcasters who have been innocently persecuted by the Church!

Harvey couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Mr. Stormwalker's stance and attitude were indeed very extreme. He even used the word "traitor" to describe him. It seemed that he really hated spellcasters who were close to the church.

[Heart of the Forest: The specific details of this magic duel have not been revealed by the Union until now. Hehe, I wonder what kind of high-level magic Mr. Kel'Thuzad used to defeat the battle mage head-on as a research mage?]

Frost Giant: From what I've heard, research mages aren't particularly adept at high-level offensive spells, are they? Could Mr. Kel'Thuzad be a rare, once-in-a-century... dual-master spellcaster? Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, that's unimaginable.

"Spell Shield" Fran McCaughlin, as an official in the Federation's affairs department, immediately noticed that these two foreign spellcasters, who were obviously not from the Federation's faction, seemed to be secretly exploring the details of the magic duel and Kel'Thuzad. As an experienced magic politician, he immediately spoke up to stop them.

[Magic Shield: What? Since when can everyone openly discuss and explore other members' academic privacy in the forum? This is a card that every spellcaster has the right to keep confidential, right? Please don't ask so rudely!]

[Man in the Mirror: It's easy to find out. Following the principle of equal exchange, why not just conduct a private information transaction with Mr. Kel'Thuzad?... Simply wanting to get something for free isn't very kind!]

The words "Magic Shield" and "Man in the Mirror" were spoken from Harvey's perspective to protect his true identity and privacy from being revealed. On the other hand, they were also hinting to other members that Kel'Thuzad was now a member of the Federation faction in the forum. It was a disguised form of forced enticement, killing two birds with one stone.

"They are indeed magical politicians who are good at intrigue..." Harvey pinched his brows. He did not feel disgusted by their actions. After all, these members of the Federation showed their kindness to him without reservation during this trip to Alayeh. Mr. Son of Flame even helped him enthusiastically, preventing him from exposing more secrets and cards.

After all, if Harvey wants to deal with the attacker who is a high-level combat mage by himself, he must seek help from Mr. Inner Demon in the magic network plane to resolve the crisis by shattering the opponent's magic pattern. This will also cause Harvey to be suspected by all parties in the future.

[Scorching Overlord: There's no need to argue endlessly about this. Mr. Kel'Thuzad himself can choose whether to share the details of this magical duel with us...]
