228 Progress (1/2)

Wallace was curious about the progress of the old man. He knows that the job will be very difficult so he didn't want to really disturb him.

The most that he can do for now was to wait for him to have a rest and take that chance to offer some help.

”Avalon, what was the doctor doing right now?”

[ The doctor was seated and looking something on the table. ]

”Something?”

[ Unknown. The closest possibility was that he was looking to a form of undetectable mana. No function to detect this form of energy yet. Would like to get assistance with Veda? ]

”No, no... I'm just curious. Just continue with your work.”

Wallace had been monitoring the doctor through Avalon inside his room so he would immediately know if the old man was truly resting.

A couple of days had passed and the old man went outside to get some fresh air.

Wallace took this chance and asked for the man's progress.

”Hoho~ I'm almost there... Right, can you get me some human... I need to test some of my progress...”

'Test the Secret Art?' Wallace was confused but he suddenly realized that it was indeed normal to try it out on other test subjects first before trying it to him.

”This... Where would I get them?”

”Oh... You don't have a channel for that? Nevermind it... I'll make a call with someone to bring me a few... Would that be fine?”

”Well, I wonder what kind of people will be sent?”

”Don't worry... They should be prisoners with no hope of getting out in their cells. Also, you don't have to pay for that... I'll handle the expenses... They are expensive since they are magicians but I can get a discount on that...”

Wallace could only nod at this as he asked him if there anything that he could help to hasten the progress of his study.

In the end, what the doctors needed right now was a different vessel or another test subject.

The doctor wanted to ensure that he wouldn't make any mistake once he did the operation real-time.

It wasn't just his reputation at stake but Wallace's life...

”Do you think my life would be in danger?”

”Well... Before I saw you, that was what I thought... But seeing you the first time made me realize you have a different level of life force with you... You can probably live for more than 500 years if there's no accident...”

”Really? You have some good eyes...”

”So you wouldn't deny it, huh...”

”Are you curious?”

”You're teasing me? Haha! I already lived long enough... I'll be happy living the rest of my life with my garden once I'm done here...”

'If the empire would post pone their visit in next decades then you can happily live with your plants...'

Wallace sighed as he thinks whether the man can really live happily in the next few years with the incoming threat...

On the next day, a truck came into his property bringing 5 people that the doctor requested to one of his subordinates.

Wallace only sighed at this since he was aware that the doctor knows what he was doing. He didn't planned to stop him and consented it. This is also for his sake.
