sThump, thump!Will curled his fingers and repeatedly tapped the table, immediately drawing everyone's attention."Regardless, capturing Rience first will bring everything to light.""I inquired in Vizima and Ellander, but I couldn't find this person." Geralt's method of inquiry was rather unique; if the other party's attitude was poor, he would offer a punch and an Axii Sign to confuse their mind."It's highly likely he went into hiding immediately after that assassination attempt," Will mused."But he still has to attend the concert eventually. I suspect he tricked more than one noble.""Yennefer suddenly said, "It just so happens we need to go to Aretuza first. We can make arrangements beforehand and catch him then.", Ciri stared blankly at her; why were they leaving so suddenly?The Aretuza School of Magic was located on Thanedd Island, in the bay northwest of Velen. Nearby was the Palace of Kaer Morhen, surrounded by an anti-magic barrier, which was also the place where the Brotherhood of Sorcerers convened....In Old Mother Nannick's alchemy room, Geralt and the other two stood to the side while Yennefer stepped forward to announce the one-month trial plan.Toxicity Primer Potion, Green Herb Decoction, Red Mutagen Potion."Will, after injecting the primer potion, you might experience severe poisoning, vomiting blood, and failure of all organ functions. At that time, you absolutely cannot heal them, or the preliminary modification will fail."Will lay on the cold iron bed, covered with a piece of rough cloth around his waist. His limbs were firmly secured by iron rings. On the table beside him were five vials of potions ranging from light blue to deep blue. These were toxicity-matching potions concocted by Nannick and Yennefer together.After multiple physical examinations and toxicity tests, Will's internal organs had already taken shape, which was not conducive to taking the Green Herb Decoction. Therefore, these five potions would thoroughly infect and destroy his internal organs.Yennefer named it the Blue Enchantress."Are you ready? Remember! Absolutely do not use your self-healing ability." Yennefer warned again; this step was crucial.Will nodded without hesitation. He had waited too long for this day, and he had prepared for too long.When Yennefer began injecting the first vial of light blue potion, he tasted a rich seaweed flavor in his mouth, but there was no change internally.The second vial... the third vial...After all five were injected, he instantly felt something was wrong. The five potions seemed to have created some kind of chain reaction. His lungs and stomach felt like they were about to explode. Will fiercely suppressed the urge to use his Source of Life to repair the damage, otherwise, all the potions would be expelled.His powerful perception made him acutely aware that his nervous system was gradually being destroyed. His consciousness began to blur, but the drug's effect forced him to remain conscious instead of passing out."Hold on, Will! For as long as possible, let the changes proceed thoroughly!" Geralt's voice, rising and falling, sounded in his ears, constantly reminding him not to give up.He could no longer perceive anything below his neck.However, in the eyes of Geralt and the other two, from the moment Will drank the potion, the iron bed was dented under the pressure of his fingers. His eyeballs bulged terrifyingly, and dark red blood seeped from his skin. He kept emitting unintelligible sounds from his mouth.Yennefer quickly recorded the situation after Will took the potion in detail on the parchment.Nannick gently wiped the soiled blood from Will's body and stroked his forehead, attempting to keep him calm. A stabilization spell could not be used at this stage.Will's respiratory system was about to fail. He entered a meditative state while still conscious. Only after thirty minutes did he fight back to regain control of his body from the potion's terrifying effects, which meant he had survived the changes brought by the potion, but the pain from his internal organs remained.He opened his panel to check the attribute changes. As expected, the potion's destruction had forcefully pulled his attributes down.[Attributes: Constitution 11.5 (-4), Strength 6.7 (-2), Agility 5.3 (-1), Perception 5.8, Magic?]Yennefer and Nannick began to check his physical condition. Will was strapped to the equipment, and Yennefer kept exclaiming in amazement."Geralt! This is incredible..." The latter shook his head and interrupted her, "Only Will can withstand this kind of direct modification; no other apprentice could manage it."Nannick glared at them and said, "Stop chatting! Damn it! Once you've recorded it, let Will heal and recover."Soon, Yennefer completed the final entry. Five full pages were filled with the data from this special experiment."Will! You can recover now. Can you hear me?" Yennefer peeled open his eyelids and shouted loudly when she saw he hadn't lost consciousness.Will nodded with difficulty and began to fully channel his Source of Life. The effect was very slow; for now, he could only block the internal pain."Cough, cough, cough... Water."Will's hoarse voice sounded. His throat was burning from the potion's toxicity.Yennefer stuffed a unique white potion into his mouth and explained, "You can't drink water at this stage yet. Take the catalyst potion first." She began chanting an ancient spell, the meaning of which Will didn't understand at all; he only knew his body was already improving.Yennefer undid the restraints and helped him carefully get off the iron bed. He had to readjust to his body. She used magic to massage all of Will's muscles, allowing him to fully adapt to the changes in his body before proceeding to the next step, which was expected to take 5 to 7 days.What she didn't expect was that Will progressed from laboriously pacing in circles in the laboratory at the beginning, to later running, jumping, and tumbling with ease. He picked up the longsword by the door and slowly began to wield the swordsmanship of the School of the Wolf.Geralt and the other two stared dumbfounded at the scene before them, especially when he started practicing swordsmanship; they couldn't help but exclaim."Geralt, are the experimental records from Kaer Morhen really true?" Yennefer pointed at the now lively Will.Geralt rarely showed a trace of sadness. He had experienced seizures, vomiting, hemorrhaging, and even albinism, but none of these symptoms manifested in Will.Will walked over, panting. Although half of this body felt ruined, the conditioning from the Source of Life never disappointed him. It felt like it was helping him adapt to the new body. After all, he had lain immobilized for ten years, yet only needed two days of recovery training to walk and jump."What's next?" He was somewhat impatient.Yennefer felt a headache coming on and looked at Geralt."He recovered too quickly. I suggest we can directly administer the decoction; there's no need to wait."Nannick immediately interrupted her, "No, let's observe for one more day. It's too dangerous.""Old Mother, I'm fine. Perhaps we should check again," he said dismissively.Will lay back on the sickbed, squinted his eyes, and entered meditation to maintain good condition. He clearly knew his body had adapted and was now waiting for the Green Herb Decoction while replenishing his energy.Nannick was very worried about Will's physical condition but had to admit that the man was indeed in an adaptive state.Countless thoughts scattered in Yennefer's mind: transplanting monster organs into Will's body—would that mysterious power adapt under such circumstances?
