Chapter 161 Controlled Observation Experiment
Sean put away the pen, looked at No. [-]'s cold body on the ground and sighed, this is a fucking hell, I thought I had found a way to speed up magic, but I didn't expect the side effects to be so big, fortunately, I didn't drink.

Maybe it's because of the high concentration.

Sean decided to continue with the second experiment. He dealt with No. [-]'s body first, and then called out No. [-].

Dwarf No. [-] knew nothing about what happened next, and just looked at Xiao En ignorantly.

Sean took out the bottle of magic liquid. This time he decided to lower the measurement and dilute the concentration. Many substances in the real world are toxic, but as long as the concentration is diluted to a certain level, it will not cause danger to life.

Sean had read a story before. In order to prevent being poisoned to death, a person took a small amount of poison every once in a while, and as a result, his body developed resistance to this poison over time.

Sean didn't know if the story was true, but the principle should still be correct.

He first got a large bottle of distilled water, poured out 500 milliliters, then poured the magic liquid into a test tube, and measured 2 milliliters, equivalent to one-tenth of what he drank on the fourth day.

When the magic liquid fell into the water, the water was immediately dyed blue, but unlike the dark blue of the magic liquid, the color of the diluted magic water was brighter and lighter, similar to the color in some games. The 'Magic Potion'.

Still too much, Xiao En thought, poured out 100ml of the adjusted magic water from a measuring cup, and handed it to number five.

In this 100ml of magic water, there is actually only 0.4ml of magic liquid.

"Drink it."

No. [-] didn't hesitate, and drank it in one gulp.

"How does it feel?" Sean asked.

Five looked at him, the blue light flickering in his eyes.

(I don't feel anything), said No. [-] with such an expression.

Could it be that he drank too little?After thinking about it, Xiao En decided to try it out, "Then if you want to release a spell, say—'Fire is raging', imagine the flame in your mind when casting it, and remember to raise your hand, like this—"

No. [-] did so—(blazing fire!) It didn't recite the spell, but just raised its hands and made a spell-casting outfit, and its expression was trying to match its movements.

Sean was a little speechless, and then he remembered that dwarves can't speak, and the voice of number four before was completely the effect of magic.

However, to his surprise, a fireball with a diameter of about one meter emerged out of thin air following the movements of number five, and ignited a bush with a bang.

Can it be displayed?Could it be that this spell is not necessary?Or is it that goblins are born with the ability to cast silent spells?
He didn't get too entangled in this issue, and his priority now was still the practicality of the magic liquid.

He noticed that the raging flames cast by No. [-] were much less powerful, and the large-scale group attack magic was directly downgraded to single-target magic.

It seems that the effect of the diluted magic water is much worse. The ability to cast spells is fine, and the next step is to count the staying power of cast spells.

"continue."

Blazing flames!

Blazing flames!

Blazing flames!

Number Five kept casting fire magic on the open space, and every time he raised his hand, a ball of flame would explode out of thin air.

While Sean recorded the number of spellcastings, he also recorded the power of the flames. The first few fireballs looked normal, but when it reached the seventh one, the size of the fireballs was significantly smaller.

The eighth is only the size of a basketball.

Nine football size.

The tenth was only the size of a sea bowl.

When it came to No. 11, there was only one flame, and then it dissipated and disappeared.

Five was still casting spells on the air, but no flames were coming out.

"You can stop now." Sean said as he carefully observed No. [-], the trace of blue light in No. [-]'s eyes had completely disappeared.

Looking at his skin again, there was no blue fluorescent effect in the blood vessels.

Sean looked at the remaining magic water in the bottle, there were still four fifths left.

From this point of view, two milliliters of the original magic liquid can release almost fifty fireball magic with the power of a single unit.

Before No. [-] drank [-] milliliters in one gulp, it was equivalent to the energy of [-] single fireballs. No wonder its small body couldn't bear it.

The question now is, if he ingests a small amount of diluted magic water, will he still die suddenly like number four?
"Number Five, how do you feel now?"

No. [-] spread out his hands, (still feeling nothing).

Sean nodded, then all he needs to do is to observe the reaction of No. [-].

However, for a deeper understanding, more experimental samples and data are needed, and Sean still needs to know, if the magic power is not released but kept in the body, will there be any different effects?
He used two milliliters of the original magic liquid to prepare 500 milliliters of magic water.

He called out number six, number seven, and number eight.

No. 100 also drank [-]ml of magic water, but asked it not to perform any magic.

Number Seven drank 200 milliliters of magic water and also did not perform any magic.

Number 300 drank [-]ml of magic water, but also did not cast any magic.

In this way, Sean has four samples that can be observed and compared.

For the next few hours, Sean continued to observe the four gnomes.

Call them over every half hour to ask how they are feeling.

No. [-] was undoubtedly the fastest to recover. It seemed that it was hardly affected by the magic power. It didn't feel anything every time it asked, and it didn't show any special interest in the magic water.

Six, it's a bit overexcited, but other than that, it's nothing special.

Number Seven seemed a little anxious. When Sean asked how it felt, Number Seven said that it was flustered and had a fever all over its body.

The most serious one was No. [-]. It was restless, walking around, its hands trembling constantly, and a blue light flashed in its eyes from time to time. Sean felt that the air pressure around No. [-] seemed to have dropped a lot several times.

For safety reasons, Sean let it cast a few spells on the open space, and then it stopped.

Observations continued into the night.

All the visions of the dwarves gradually disappeared.

The next day, Sean called them all over, and to his delight, all of them were still alive.

No. [-] remained unchanged, No. [-] was a little bit decadent, No. [-] was more serious, and No. [-] was similar.

Sean now has a basic answer.

Magical energy is undoubtedly irritating to the human body, the more it is absorbed, the greater the impact, but it seems that as long as the magical energy in the body is released, it will not cause much impact on the body, but if it remains in the body, it will have a negative impact on the body. The body takes a toll.

The severity of the burden is uncertain at this time, and the dwarves who can only be affected are somewhat deficient in mental state.

Longer-term observations will then be required to determine whether they have more profound effects.

But what Xiao En can basically confirm is that the magic liquid can be used, but it cannot be ingested too much at one time, and must be released as much as possible.

However, such a result is not safe enough. In order to obtain more rigorous data, Xiao En plans to conduct a long-term magic cultivation experiment to determine the impact of long-term use of magic liquid on the human body.

He quickly formulated a ten-day observation plan,
On the 5th, drink 100ml of magic water every day and release it all.

On the 6th, drink 100ml of magic water every day, but do not release any magic.

On the 7th, drink 200ml of magic water every day without releasing any magic.

8. Well, drink 300ml of magic water every day and release it all.

From this, it is possible to calculate the effect of the magic water on the body, and the difference between after release and without release.

After ten days, through the experimental results, it can be preliminarily concluded whether the magic liquid is safe to drink.

However, to carry out such a long-term controlled experiment, a lot more magic liquid is needed.

Sean decided to start a new summoning ceremony immediately.
