There is a strange place deep in an inaccessible dark forest. The sky here is covered with thick dark clouds all day long. Under the dark clouds is a row of low stone houses and broken buildings

  In the center, an ancient tower stands.

  This is the Tower of Shadows, a wizard tower in the dark forest in the west of the "Land of Ancient Ruins" on the south coast of the Wizarding Continent.

Although it's only a three rings tower, it is already one of the most powerful forces in this borderland of the Wizarding Continent, dominating the entire dark forest and the seven surrounding human kingdoms with a population of tens of millions.

  early morning.

  The sky is bright and everything is silent. There is gray mist floating in the forest. The ancient tower in the shadow looks mysterious.

At this time, most of the apprentices were still sleeping, but there was an obvious firelight in a stone room at the edge of the Shadow Land.

  Through the dilapidated wooden window, a young man is busy at a wooden table.

  He looks about 12 or 3 years old, with a thin body, slightly messy short black hair, a straight nose, thin lips, a delicate appearance, and a bit of childish baby fat on his cheeks.

The eyes are lead-grey, shining with the unique brightness of a teenager, but they also reveal a calmness and depth that transcends age.

His name is Lynch Warren, he comes from the Frostland Territory, a barony in the north of the Kingdom of Putan among the seven kingdoms. He is a serf in the farm of the Lord Morton family. In addition to his parents, his family there is also a brother and a sister.

  On the Calling Day two years ago, he was identified by the wizard in the lord's castle as having a wizard's talent, and was brought into this tower for training, becoming a quasi-apprentice, majoring in biological modification.

At this moment, Lynch was doing biomodification experiments in front of the wooden table.

  There was a palm-sized lizard on the operating table, fixed to the table by several wires.

  Next to it is a round glass vessel with a pair of outstretched bat wings soaked in a yellow-brown liquid.

  Lizards, bat wings, Lynch is trying to combine the two.

  "Huh~" Taking a breath, he picked up the knife on the side.

  "Hiss!"

Probably sensing something, the lizard on the table made a sharp hiss. Its round eyes were full of fear and anxiety, and its bound body struggled violently.

  Lynch pressed his left hand on the lizard's back, and he could clearly feel the scales on it tightening.

  Then, he held the knife with his right hand and aimed it at the middle and upper part of his back, where there were two marks made in advance. Lynch stabbed them in at the correct position.

  "Kacha...kacha..."

  In front of the knife with the sharpening technique, the lizard's hard scales were defenceless. The knife quickly made two cuts of about five centimeters on the back.

  "Pfft."

Dark red blood flowed out, quickly dyeing the entire back red, and the lizard struggled even harder.

  Lynch picked up the white handkerchief next to him and briefly wiped the spilled blood, then took out the bat wings from the container, inserted the wings into the gap of the incision, and finally picked up the wand placed next to him, tapped it lightly.

  A row of runes were engraved on the interface of the flesh wings. At this moment, these runes seemed to come alive, twisting and extending black tentacles that penetrated through the lizard's incisions, like black silk threads quickly sewing the two together.

The nerve veins on the fleshy wings seems like red spider webs,quickly spread all over the lizard's body and finally penetrated into its brain to connect with it.

  "Did it succeed?"

  Lynch picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, eagerly admiring his masterpiece.

  There are two round and bulging eyes on the triangular head. The fine dark red scales are closely arranged, like a set of solid armor. The limbs are slender and powerful, and the claws are sharp and curved. The creature looks quite powerful.

Coupled with the pair of large fleshy wings on its back that are more than twice the size of the lizard itself, the lizard looks particularly different at this moment, just like...just like...

  the legendary dragon !

  "The next step is the test of control..."

  After regaining his composure, Lynch untied the wires tied to the lizard's back to free it, and then urged it to control the wings on its back through the rune planted in advance.

  The lizard that had just been tortured was obviously still confused about the situation, but under the influence of the runes, its body was already moving uncontrollably, trying to use the newly added body part on its back.

Little by little, the contracted flesh wings began to slowly unfold outwards, and began to wave up and down. As the frequency of waving increased, the airflow was also stirred up

  "Poof!"

Without warning, a mouthful of black blood spurted out from the lizard's mouth, and then its entire body stopped abruptly and fell onto the wooden table.

Lynch frowned.

  He picked up the lizard and examined it in detail. There was blood oozing everywhere on the scales. The lizard seemed to be completely lifeless, with only the muscles and nerves still twitching slightly.

  Lynch touched his chin and analyzed calmly.

  "Did it fail?"

  "It shouldn't be... The best material, Salamander, has been used It should be able to withstand cell fusion..."

  "Is it because of rejection?"

  "No... "

 "It's still too early to make a conclusion. "

  At this moment, Lynch found that the lizard still had weak vital signs. He put his hand on his belly and could feel the heartbeat, but it was very weak.

  Lynch quickly found the reason: "There's a reaction!"
