Chapter 164

Dissection.

Dissection.

The gleam of the knife.

Chest opened, stomach dissected, neck and head dissected. Observing the organs, observing the blood vessels, retinas, subcutaneous tissues—

In occasions of unknown causes of loss of life, the surgical knife is a torch illuminating the fog within the darkness.

Garrett Nordmark is totally targeted on dissecting and investigating. The rabbit’s lungs, organs, blood vessels, all lined in scattered bleeding. Intensive bleeding with no adhesions, irritation, or different natural lesions. No sharp wounds, which primarily signifies… ultrasound magic.

“Hmm, Bernard… Bernard?”

Garrett places down the surgical knife, able to name the barbarian over to stew or roast this rabbit, no matter fits. As he turns round, the barbarian is holding one other rabbit, taking a look at him with keen anticipation.

The brand new rabbit’s stomach is shaved clear, revealing a slight pink coloration, contrasting with the encompassing black fur. Held in Bernard’s palms, it kicks its legs vigorously, showing energetic as if it hadn’t succumbed to heatstroke.

Oh…

Garrett sweats. One rabbit will not be sufficient so that you can eat! I didn’t plan on having rabbit legs for dinner!

“Bernard, let’s not eat this rabbit for now… no, let’s not experiment both. I would like to consider… what went incorrect with this experiment. I have to suppose for some time…”

After Garrett finishes his routine meditation at dwelling, he molds one other bone along with his psychological energy, solely eight extra to finish the set. He then directs his focus again to ultrasound magic. He contemplates, meditates, and muses…

Hmm, after pondering it over repeatedly, he nonetheless can’t pinpoint the place the issue lies. Helpless, he concentrates and goes by means of the outline of ultrasound in “Medical Imaging”:

“Ultrasound makes use of 1 to 10 megahertz ultrasound waves to propagate in human tissues… um…”

1 to 10 megahertz?

That’s 1,000,000 hertz to 10,000,000 hertz?

What frequency do bats emit ultrasound at?

Oops, can’t bear in mind…

Nevertheless, throughout this contemplation, Garrett remembers one thing:

The upper the frequency of ultrasound, the decrease its tissue penetration capability, however the greater its decision for close by objects. Decrease frequencies penetrate tissues extra successfully however have poorer decision for close by objects.

So when he launched echo magic earlier, he might “see” by means of the rabbit to the rabbit cage, desk, and ground beneath however couldn’t “see” the rabbit’s inner construction. Is it as a result of the ultrasound frequency was too low?

How can he enhance the ultrasound frequency?

And this month’s wage may even be discounted. Not solely this month, however the subsequent, the following subsequent month, and perhaps even the following subsequent subsequent month, it is likely to be minimize in half…

“Um…”

The instigator of the drastic value drop on bats feels a bit responsible and a bit happy. He blinks, getting nearer:

“Is your store’s bat selection full? Whether it is, I’ll purchase them right here as an alternative of going elsewhere!”

“We now have a whole assortment!” The younger clerk jumps up. “We now have over ten varieties! Even when they’re not full, I can go to different outlets to restock! Mr. Mage, you simply sit right here; I’ll go collect all of them for you! What number of of every would you like?”

5 copper cash every, 20 varieties, that’s one gold coin. Garrett pinches his pockets, pulling out half of his gold cash and pushing them onto the counter:

“See what number of varieties you may collect. In case you get 20, I’ll purchase 5 of every. Purchase extra of the one I would like whenever you discover it.”

“Alright! Mr. Mage, relaxation assured—in any other case, do you wish to depart your tackle? I can ship them to the doorstep.”

Within the late afternoon, when the sky darkens, Garrett receives a basket stuffed with bats. Varied sizes, neatly categorized, round forty to fifty varieties. All useless, every wrapped in a grass bag with a observe hooked up, indicating the identify of every bat.

Contemplating that in his earlier life, there have been solely over 900 species of bats worldwide, Garrett suspects he has collected bats from all around the nation.

…Pockets bleeding closely.

Enduring the heartache, Garrett takes out half of the gold cash from his pockets, pays the younger clerk, and sends him away. Turning round, dealing with this massive basket of creepy-looking creatures, he sighs deeply:

“…Ah!”

How lengthy do I’ve to experiment?

I’ve a restricted variety of spells each day!

Though experimenting with numerous supplies is critical for

analysis—like when Edison invented the sunshine bulb, he tried almost 1600 filament supplies— however he had a crew beneath him! What about me?

I depend on myself fully!

I would like an assistant! Assistant!

“Garrett, don’t rush, let’s strive slowly,” his solely assistant, the barbarian Bernard, consoles him, wanting understanding:

“In spite of everything, I can’t eat ten rabbits in a day…”
