Chapter 17 -

 Anatomy, Witchcraft

'Sorcery?' Carly looked at Lucien's gentle eyes, but her heart thumped indisputably.

Powerful sorcery, great sorcerer!

She wouldn't forget the usually high and mighty Earl prostrating himself at the feet of that third-level sorcerer apprentice who had guided them, nor would she forget the image of that lord making a few bandits spontaneously combust and die with a wave of his hand on his way to catch the road.

But just as Carly was immersed in her fantasies, Lucien turned his words around, and even the corners of his mouth had a slight curve to them.

'But even casting out the simplest sorcery requires curing at least three spiritual runes, Carly, after you learned sorcery, you can't afford to fall behind when it comes to meditation.'

'Ah ...,' Carly's little face couldn't help but collapse.

Three spiritual runes? Right now, she hadn't even cured one spiritual rune yet.

Lucien naturally noticed the change in Carrie's expression, but it was something he did intentionally.

If he didn't put a visible carrot in front of Carrie, there was no way to mobilize Carrie's subjective initiative.

And right now, for Carly, being able to cast witchcraft was certainly a watery carrot.

'Alright, to cast sorcery, apart from the fact that your mental strength needs to be up to standard, "You also need to firmly grasp today's knowledge first." Lucien gently tapped Carly on the head.

'Oo...' Carly held her little head.

Lucien didn't pay attention to Carly's juggling and directly took out a set of 'experimental tools' from a cabinet.

Various needles, knives, tweezers, pliers, and even an axe.

Carly looked at this set of tools that seemed to be full of blood, slightly holding her breath.

'Anatomy is a basic discipline that is heavy on experimentation, in the future if you come across any special creatures of interest, you can also use anatomy to directly observe their internal structure and transform this natural structure into knowledge that is uniquely yours.' Lucien began to teach Carrie while inspecting the various instruments.

'Later I will talk to you about the operating techniques and related knowledge of the nine most commonly used anatomical instruments through a hands-on dissection of a Rockfire Lizard ...'

Carly glanced at Lucien, who was meticulously polishing a dissecting knife until it gleamed. At that moment, she couldn't help but feel her face go pale.

Lucien looked at it in his eyes, but didn't say anything, after all, where is the wizard who doesn't see blood? Since Carrie had already embarked on this path, she had to adapt!

Lucien opened a cage on the side and took out a rock fire lizard, which was about forty centimeters long. Despite its struggles, he firmly pressed it onto the dissecting table.

'There are two types of dissection, one is live dissection, where you need to ensure that the subject survives during the dissection process in order to observe the operation of a certain structure within its body, such as in the experiment of observing the Arrow Trout we will be learning later on, we need to ensure that the subject is active during the observation process.'

'Of course, in the case of the rock fire lizard, we don't need to go to all that trouble and can perform a relatively simple dead or anesthetic dissection. So before dissecting it, to avoid unnecessary trouble due to the Rockfire Lizard's struggles, we can first keep it quiet.'

Lucien reached out his hand to gently calm the Rockfire Lizard on the dissection table, also causing Carly, who was on the side of the table in fear, to slightly sigh in relief.

But the next moment, a bone-piercing needle appeared in Lucien's hand, accurately, quickly, and viciously piercing through the back of the second scale behind the first dorsal ridge of the rock fire lizard, directly destroying the latter's central nervous system.

The lizard only twisted its body slightly, and quickly became 'tame'.

'Ah...' Carrie stood up in shock at this sudden scene.

However, under Lucien's calm gaze, Carrie sat down again with a somewhat ugly smile.

[Your student Carly is in awe of you, reverence value +1]

'Come closer, how can you see well sitting that far away.' Lucien frowned, to be honest, even though this knowledge was memorized in his mind when he practiced it, he felt a little sick to his stomach.

However, in front of Carly, Lucien forced himself to hide the discomfort in his heart, and instead looked at a certain little quail on the side, ordering little Carly to come over a little closer in a rather cold tone.

Then, Lucien picked up the scalpel on the side.

...

As anatomical materials, the scales, muscles, and internal organs of the rock fire lizard were all materials for anatomical research, but as a transcendent creature that could cast spells, the most worthwhile thing to study was naturally its 'fire spitting system' that contained the mysteries of natural spell patterns, which was naturally the most important focus of Lucien's anatomy lesson.

'Flame Bag.' Luciaen slightly moved half a body position away, gesturing for Carly to come up and look at this special organ hidden in the jaw position of the rock fire lizard.

Carly held her breath at this moment, quickly memorizing the various features of the Pyroclastic Pouch, that special fire-resistant skin layer, and the special secretion inside that resembled high-quality sulfur powder.

'A throat that contains natural spell patterns.' Lucian gently pointed with his tongs to the intact throat that he had deliberately preserved during the dissection.

'Using mental power to simulate the construction of the spell patterns in the Rockfire Lizard's throat to act as a model for sorcery, then preparing some sulfur powder or the Rockfire Lizard's pyroclastic pouch as a spell casting material, and finally using the sorcery power in his body as an excitation, a sorcery is formed.'Lucien held a handful of sulfur powder in his left hand and began to demonstrate the process of casting sorcery in front of Carly. Bang!

The sulphur powder held in Lucian's left hand began to rapidly combine with the sorcery model he had constructed after a slight bang, countless wandering magical elements were attracted by the sorcery model, and like dough, they combined with each other and the sulfur powder and ink, and eventually became a small mass of reddish-orange unstable gelatinous substance.

Lucien manipulated his spiritual power and threw this small mass of gelatinous substance toward the stone target in front of him. The moment the gel collided with the stone target, it instantly exploded and turned into fiery flames adhering to the stone.

Carrie's eyes lit up as she recognized the flame as the same sorcery that the third-level sorcerer apprentice had used against the bandits when she had picked up them, the new blood.

But soon enough, Lucian stopped maintaining this sorcery and instead looked at Carly and threw out a question. 'Alright then, Carly, tell me, this sorcery I just cast, does it have certain flaws? "How can we improve it?"

Carly blinked, and seemed a little unsure as she held out a finger, then slowly pointed it at herself.

'Me?'

There seemed to be large question marks on the tiny head.

'It's not a serious question.' Lucien looked at Carly's Ben Bora Ba-same clueless little expression, the corner of his mouth twitched, 'You can treat this as an open-ended discussion topic, as wizards, we don't just have to simulate from these natural spell patterns, we also have to modify them to achieve better practical effects.'

'For example, when we want to cast this sorcery, what should we do if there is a lack of flammable substances such as sulphur to use as casting material?'

Stacked armor: the author is not a biology graduate, so his knowledge of anatomy is rather limited. If there are any serious errors in the text, feel free to point them out and clap your hands!
