Chapter 124
In the dimly lit room, the air was thick with the acrid scent of burnt bones and ash. The crimson ritual circle cast an eerie glow, and Abraham sat cross-legged on the floor, his eyes closed in concentration. At his palms rested an enlarged crystal ball.
After a considerable amount of time, Abraham opened his eyes. “The efficiency of soul particle absorption has increased by 32%. The use of the white jade bones is indeed quite effective.”
“Indeed, I’ve seen a 30.51% improvement on my end compared to the last trial,” Lynn replied. “It seems this isn’t an isolated case. The new batch of ritual arrays is generally performing better than the previous ones.”
“It looks like we’re nearing our target. Once we complete this experiment, we can start selecting source materials. Do you have any preferences?” Abraham asked casually.
“Not yet. I’ll decide later,” Lynn said nonchalantly.
Glancing at Abraham, Lynn couldn’t help but smile inwardly. Initially, he had thought Abraham was merely a solitary figure, but as time passed and they interacted more, Lynn discovered that beneath the seemingly aloof exterior was someone who was a chatterbox. In short, he was a combination of an introvert and socially anxious person.
This guy had a lot of inner drama. Despite having lived for over 60 years, Abraham had no friends in Demon City and spent most of his time buried in his laboratory. His demeanor and disposition were no different from that of a young person’s.
Lynn realized he was not much different. Most of his time in Demon City had also been spent in the laboratory.
“How about visiting my laboratory after we’re done here? I tried out the feedback you gave me on my alchemical creation last time, and it actually proved to be effective,” Abraham suggested, his eyes filled with some admiration.
