The principle of the morphological curse that Dum gave to Merlin is not complicated.

Aside from those cumbersome descriptions and nagging introductions, this is actually a spell that converts energy and magic.

As Dumm said, there is a very famous view in the field of traditional magic. The casters of ancient Greece once proposed that everything in the world contains magic. As long as you find the right way, you can convert any common energy into magic that can be used by wizards.

This sounds simple, but it's very difficult to do.

The properties of energy are vastly different. It is possible to convert a certain energy into magic, but it is very difficult to find a "universal formula" for the conversion of energy and magic.

This hypothesis once stumped many talented casters, but before meeting Doum, Merlin hadn't heard of any school of casters that had completed this research.

And the king of Latvinia in front of him really gave Merlin a big surprise.

He completed the formula for magic and energy conversion. Although from Merlin's perspective, this formula is not perfect and the conversion efficiency of energy and magic is very poor, Dumm still did what his predecessors did not do.

Judging from the value of this spell alone, Dumm's talent in magic is far superior to Merlin. Although it is not unprecedented, it has surpassed most of the casters of the same era.

15 minutes later, Merlin moved his fingers and stood in the center of a magic circle just now.

This magic circle is a bit weird because it is made entirely of steel. Dumm engraved some magic runes on a whole steel plate, making it form a complete magic system.

But this annular steel plate itself is part of a large mechanical system, which can be controlled to move back and forth, and form a more complex activity system with several other annular structures.

"This is a system of transformation of magnetic fields and energy."

Icarus knew that Merlin's physics level was not high, so she projected a simple design drawing in front of Merlin, and used simulated projection to explain to Merlin:

"The system designed by Mr. Dum can dilute the concentration of the extracted dangerous energy by controlling the magnetic field, so that it can be spread around the system in a more stable state. I don't understand the meaning of these runes under your feet, but I guess it should be a magic array that controls the direction of energy flow."

"After this system is activated, the energy extracted from Dr. Reed and the four people will be directed into the space under your feet, and then through the conversion of energy and magic, they will be transformed from dangerous uncontrollable energy into magic that can be used."

Icarus sighed:

"I don't know how you wizards will evaluate this system, but in my opinion, Mr. Dum really didn't speak loudly. He combined magic and technology."

"Yes, he's pretty awesome."

Merlin also looked at Dum who was debugging parameters behind the console. A light flashed in his eyes, just like the gaze of a poor student when he saw the top student. He said:

"He can create his own spells, and what he created is not the kind of spell that is magical. It is a truly valuable high-quality spell. He has solved the problem that has plagued the wizard world for hundreds of years."

"This guy is a genius, both in technology and magic."

Merlin shook his head and said:

"This world is really going to be in chaos. Guys like them will actually jump out one by one."

"Are you jealous? Merlin."

Icarus's voice became gentle, and she whispered:

"Actually, don't be jealous of him, Merlin, you have your own advantages,"

“What about?”

Merlin said expressionlessly:

"Do I have a wide variety of contracts and curses? Oh, from this point of view, I am indeed a genius."

“Are you ready?”

As soon as Merlin complained that he had finished speaking, Dum raised his head and His Majesty the King asked in a deep voice:

"I'm going to start."

Merlin gestured a ok gesture, he took a deep breath, pulled out his wand, his magic power was mobilized, and the uncomplicated mana model of the morphological spell was outlined bit by bit.

Five seconds later, Dumm glanced at Susan in the creature compartment, and he typed a line of instructions on the console with his armored fingers.

"Click"

The steel magic circle under Meilin's feet made a slight sound. As the energy injected, the four steel rings in front of him began to rotate in different directions, looking dazzling.

As the first energy extracted from Reed's four-person biological compartment poured into the magic circle, the mechanical system where Merlin stood seemed to be supported by invisible force, holding him into the air 3 meters high.

The ring-shaped equipment around the steel plate he was standing on began to accelerate. In the collision between the magnetic field and energy, and in the dance of the dazzling seven-color arc, a blue light curtain visible to the naked eye was covered outside this large system.

At this time, Merlin was like a large, rapidly vibrating soap bubble.

The energy that was weakened by the magnetic field but was still manic in his body from his feet, and was quickly blessed on the magic model at the top of the wand. The energy and magic began to transform, and a drop of blue liquid appeared quietly at the top of the slightly trembling wand.

That is the embodiment of pure magic.

"The conversion speed is too fast! Slow down!"

Dum, who had been staring at the data projection of the control station, said in a deep voice:

"Control the magic direction, the third, seventh, and twenty-ninth nodes of the mana model are still empty, fill it up"

"Slower!"

"It's still too fast! Slower a little, yes, keep this frequency and be perfectly persistent!"

Dumm is like a magic tutor training his disciples' spell casting ability. He keeps giving instructions, while Merlin has no mind or energy to refute Dumm.

This is his first time using the form-like spell. It is not a simple job to control the transformation of energy and magic. He must concentrate on it.

As the conversion process continues, the situation of Reed and the four biological cabins that serve as energy sources is also improving.

They were too huge, and their rapidly growing energy was extracted, and their painful will and spirits were suppressed also had a chance to rest.

Susan's gradual and reappearance slowed down significantly, and her illusory body also showed signs of solidification.

Reed, who had lost his body, was like a large meatball, and was also recovering his body shape bit by bit, just like a leaking balloon.

"I have never heard of Mandarin since the incident in Eisingwald Industrial Park. I guess he has died on his own way to conquer, and you gave him the last blow?"

"Not me."

Merlin shook his head, he smiled and said:

"But I am an accomplice. Mandarin's rings are still here with me. Why don't I give them to you as a reward for my learning of your spell."

"You and I are both wizards, we must follow the laws of wizards."

"That set of rings?"

A trace of intention flashed in Dum's eyes, but after a moment, he still shook his head, and he said:

"No, I don't need them. They are of unknown origin. If you use them rashly, you might fall to the level of Mandarin."

"Have anyone ever told you, Lord Dum, that you are really restrained, especially in the pursuit of power, you seem to be interested in those forces that you can control?"

Merlin said:

"I'm curious, how did this good habit be developed?"

"Haha, do you really want to know the reason?"

Dum let out a low laugh, he looked at Merlin, and slowly took off his mask.

He pointed to his own severe burn marks, covered with terrifying scars, and only a black wound was left at the nose, losing his upper lip and an unrecognizable face.

In the shadow of the green hood, it was like something that emerged from the most terrifying nightmare, and he gave Merlin a creepy smile.

He said:

“That’s why.”

Dumm re-tightened the mask.

"I have learned a lesson long ago, and the power that cannot be controlled is just the source of disaster."

Merlin looked at the miserable face, well, if this was a lesson, then it was indeed a very deep and painful lesson.

Neither of them continued to talk until nearly 10 minutes later, when the eighth magic gem was shaped, Dumm closed the conversion process.

In the four biological compartments, Reed, Susan and Jonathan have all recovered their normal bodies, but the stone man still maintains the rock body, but there are eyes, nose, mouth, and even ears on the rock.

He has been completely changed. In fact, these four people have been completely changed. This is just a more obvious change.

“It’s done.”

Dumm looked at the blonde girl in the creature compartment, a fleeting tenderness flashed in his restrained eyes, but soon he turned around and behind him, Merlin walked towards him. On the metal disc beside Merlin, eight crystal clear magic gems were shining brightly.

"One person, half."

Merlin said:

"No problem?"

"Give it all to you."

Dum didn't reach for it, while Merlin's expression changed a little, he said:

"Generousness to strangers often means asking for something, Mr. Dum, say, what do you need me to do for you?"

"Intelligent Mechanical Center."

Dum no longer conceals his purpose. His eyes under his iron mask looked at Merlin, and he said seriously:

“I need the Onika Group to build a small intelligent machinery industrial park in Latvinia. My country needs to develop, but I can use too little human resources.”

“But Latvinia is very xenophobic.”
