Wizard: Start with Biological Transformation to Grind Experience - Chapter 462 - 27: That Face
Chapter 462: Chapter 27: That Face
What lay before Lynch was a young girl.
Approximately 170 centimeters tall, her golden hair cascaded over her shoulders like flowing liquid gold, and her fair skin was flawless, appearing even more delicate than that of a newborn baby.
Her limbs seemed tailor-made with a ruler, slender and proportionately balanced, and her feminine features remained upright and strong, without the slightest flaw.
What was even more astonishing was her face.
Whether it was her eyes, nose, or mouth, each feature seemed as if crafted by the Divine, delicate like a piece of art.
Beautiful, yet exuding an indescribable aura of sanctity, she naturally emanated an air of divinity.
Though she stood completely unclothed, she evoked no slightest hint of impious desire, as if she were not merely a young girl but a godly presence, transcending all beings and indifferent to the mortal realm.
In fact… it was indeed so. Anyone within the Linch Witch Domain who saw this girl would be shell-shocked, for she was none other than the one whom all, from ordinary peasants to Transcendent beings, put their faith in—
The Light Goddess!
Yes, Lynch’s first body produced through bloodline proliferation wasn’t anyone else, but a form created and fabricated by him, which, after generations of cultivation and spread by his subordinates, had become the widely followed primary faith within his domain, the Light Goddess.
How should it be put…
The fundamental goal of Lynch’s endeavors was to create a vessel to harbor the Power of Faith within the Church Court.
The form of the vessel could certainly vary, but from Lynch’s perspective, his top priority was to have it resemble the original image of the Power of Faith itself, namely, the Light Goddess.
After all, aren’t the origins of this Power of Faith rooted in everyone’s belief in the Light Goddess?
Of course,
That was the plan, but Lynch wasn’t yet sure if he could attain this goal, as the body before him was, in fact, still fragile and, from the perspective of bones, cells, and flesh, just an ordinary human form. Whether it could bear the immense Power of Faith remained uncertain.
Let’s consider it as setting a direction.
“I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
Lynch stepped forward, raised his hand to close the girl’s open eyes, and then cast a Time Suspension on her.
Now she was a complete human, merely lacking a soul, which left her organs unable to revive, thus essentially remaining a corpse.
If left unattended, once the magic energy dissipated and no soul sustained its operation, she would become indistinguishable from other corpses, gradually suffering cell death, decay, and stench.
A Time Suspension could effectively maintain her current state against decay until the day Lynch infused her with a soul.
When would that be?
It shouldn’t be far away.
Shaking his head, Lynch waved his hand casually, tucked her into the cabinet beside him, and then turned to leave the room.
Having been engrossed in experiments in the laboratory for a while, with the experimentation now temporarily concluded, it was time to go out and unwind a bit, as a balance between work and rest helps enhance efficiency.
With a Flash, Lynch quickly disappeared…
Once Lynch left,
the bustling laboratory quickly quieted down, and the lively spiritual power and elemental particles gradually settled, leaving the entire lab silent.
“Tick! Tock!”
The only sound echoing in the lab was that of the clock hanging on the wall.
“Tap! Tap! Tap!”
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor outside, breaking the stillness.
Then, a tender young voice called out:
“Teacher! Teacher, are you there?”
The laboratory door creaked as it was pushed open, and a small figure appeared at the entrance, with a face as cute as a porcelain doll, dressed in a beige little dress.
It was a lovely little girl, yet she held a doll in her arms that looked bizarre and ugly.
She was Lynch’s apprentice: Annie.
As Lynch’s apprentice, Annie, besides Lynch, was the only one who knew the spatial coordinates of the Guardian Tower and would often visit Lynch, occasionally assisting in his experiments.
After Lynch began his research into Artificial Souls, he shared some of his notes and research findings with Annie—
Annie was quite enthusiastic about Artificial Souls, even delving into this research well before Lynch, having chosen the study of souls early on when Lynch first taught her about magic paths.
She harbored a persistent aspiration to infuse her Frankenstein doll with a soul to truly bring it to life, rather than merely being a lifeless body.
“Gone out?”
Seeing the empty lab, Annie’s large eyes showed a hint of confusion.
However, she quickly regained composure and walked over to the lab bench, taking out a magic notebook, placing it on the table, and picking up a sheet of paper and a quill to leave a letter for Lynch.
Having already mastered all the content Lynch had taught her recently, she came hoping to seek new knowledge.
She dearly wished to bring Frankenstein to life, and had even tried using Activation Spells to animate him, though the results were less than satisfactory. Activation could make Frankenstein appear ’alive’, yet he lacked conscious thought, merely acting according to the spiritual power she had imparted.
Only an Artificial Soul could truly bring him to life.
Therefore,
Upon learning that Lynch had commenced his research into Artificial Souls, she could hardly contain her joy, studying the knowledge Lynch imparted with unprecedented dedication, and having natural Talent, she swiftly completed the First Order content.
The table was high, and with her short stature, Annie had to drag over a chair to stand upon to write.
Considering Lynch’s current wealth of knowledge and his connection with Fran, there were ways, if truly desired, to resolve the side effects of the Dark Advance and help Annie unleash her energy to grow up.
Lynch had once sought her opinion on this, yet Annie seemed unenthusiastic about it.
“Isn’t it fine as it is now?”
“If possible, please let me remain a child for life, teacher.”
Perhaps it was the misfortunate childhood that had instilled a reluctance toward growing up in Annie.
Maybe, in her subconscious mind, she believed Lynch took her in and cared for her specially due to her being a child, thinking that if she grew up, Lynch would cease to favor her and leave her.
“Hmm? What’s this?”
At this moment, Annie’s eyes fell upon the nearby cabinet; vaguely, someone seemed to be inside?
Driven by curiosity, she jumped off the chair and walked over to open the cabinet door…
