After handing the notes from Elektra to Gong Hao, Andrew went to see Heinz.
"You gave the thing to that little guy?"
"Yes, Teacher." " He's very excited," Andrew replied with a smile.”
" Teacher," Pierre couldn't help but ask," do you really think that a kid who has only studied alchemy for less than half a year can help us with our research?"”
"Oh, Pierre, don't underestimate the power of talent. Even if alchemists didn't need to be talented in magic, the requirement for wisdom was even greater. It could be seen that Shuiglaire was a very smart little guy. You could put pressure on such a person. Yes, his understanding of alchemy was still shallow, but knowledge was not the only thing in alchemy. The great Elektra once said that pursuing knowledge alone would make one lose the ability to create. Doing so would only make one an outstanding assistant, not a great discoverer. In order to become an outstanding alchemist, knowledge was only the foundation we needed, and creativity was the source of our advancement.”
Heinz sighed."I'm already old. I believe that after decades of endless exploration of alchemy, I have mastered all the relevant knowledge that I can grasp, but I have not been able to reproduce the glory of Elektra. I think Andrew is right. Purgatory Island needs fresh alchemist blood, and developing the Troll God and mageweath also requires extraordinary thinking. Look at what that kid did in the lab. Even though I didn't care about the rare gadgets he invented, I saw something different from him. He had the two most important magic weapons to become an outstanding alchemist--a strong desire for knowledge and a habit of thinking that dared to break through all old ways. This is what we don't have."
Pierre respectfully lowered his head to his mentor.""Great Teacher, I think this is where I will never be able to compare to you. I admire your wisdom."
Putting aside their personalities, both Heinz and Pierre were truly passionate and dedicated to alchemy.
Through the crystal ball, Heinz observed that Shuiglaire had already begun to study the notebook. He looked extremely serious.
Heinz nodded in satisfaction.
————————————
From that day on, Gong Hao fell into a frenzied state of research on the flesh puppet.
Elektra's notebook was obviously a type of scribble. Most of the records were his random thoughts when his experiment failed.
From these thoughts, it could be seen that Elektra was a very active person. While he was developing the flesh puppet, he was also conducting dozens of alchemy research. Gong Hao was surprised by this research method. He couldn't figure out how he did it.
Alchemy was a profound and vast knowledge. Almost every sub-branch could exhaust a person's life. Just like how science had branches like physics and chemistry, and physics had branches like advanced physics, mathematical physics, experimental physics, and countless other branches, alchemy was the same. Every alchemy had its own huge knowledge, and just one of them could make people study it for a lifetime.
As for Elektra, his notes were filled with all kinds of alchemy essays.
However, these essays were not complete at all. They were completely written down wherever they thought of.
They seemed to be in a mess. Perhaps the first sentence was about the production of flesh puppets, and the next sentence directly jumped to how to refine potions. Moreover, the two had nothing to do with each other.
Gong Hao seriously suspected that there was no value in reading these notes of Elektra. It would be very difficult for him to find what he had recorded after he had recorded everything.
Some of them even involved spatial magic and the Giant Demon God. In other words, when he was still an apprentice, he had already begun to study and explore this area.
According to Elektra's notes, his original motive for creating the Giant Demon God was simply because he needed some more powerful magic puppets to protect himself. As for sweeping the world, that was not something he was interested in at all.
This was a true alchemy madman, a madman even crazier than Heinz. This was the only thing Gong Hao could confirm from his notebook, but Gong Hao had no idea how to reproduce a real flesh puppet.
These notes were too messy, too random, and difficult to understand. Even so, it was only a part of the notes that Andrew had extracted from them, not the entire content.
This gave Gong Hao a headache.
However, from those essays, it could be seen that Elektra believed that a truly powerful puppet warrior should have intelligence. His original motive for creating the flesh puppet was to create an intelligent magic puppet assistant.
In his decades of research, no one had ever followed him. He was completely alone in his research on alchemy. The reason for this was that Elektra had successfully invented a magic puppet assistant with a certain level of intelligence. Although the production technology of this assistant had been lost and it was impossible to imagine how high its intelligence was, it could be seen that Elektra's achievements were enviable everywhere.
Flesh Puppets were just a by-product of his research on magic puppet assistants. At that time, he was still young and tried to embed a formed soul into an ordinary puppet warrior. He used a tool called the Soul Orb as a carrier to complete the mission of giving wisdom.
However, Elektra later discovered that souls that were separated from life would eventually die out, just like ice melting in water. Even the Soul Orb could not stop this situation. Therefore, Elektra used some method to retain a trace of soul memory to resonate with magical elements. He gave up everything else and became a flesh puppet. Through this transformation, his soul could remain in the Soul Orb for a long time.
Heinz and Andrew had been searching for a way to make Elektra's soul resonate with the surrounding elements after residing in the magic bead, and thus use magic.
In the end, they chose the humans with the highest intelligence. Through a large-scale abandonment and elimination, they managed to retain a trace of resonance ability.
This was the origin of the current flesh puppets.
Without a doubt, this was a very complicated and profound topic. Gong Hao realized that Heinz was indeed a genius. The preservation of souls had always been the specialty of Soul Mages. However, this aspect was the same as Necromancy. It was a taboo existence, and no one had ever dared to publicly study it. Without any understanding of soul spells, Heinz was able to do this because of his Beyonder powers in alchemy. However, compared to Elektra's ability to use the soul of an ordinary magical beast to create a flesh puppet that could cast three spells, he was still far from it.
Heinz was like a terrible chef. After doing all the research, he could only use the best ingredients to make the worst dishes. Elektra, on the other hand, had the ability to create exquisite delicacies even if he was given the worst ingredients.
The difference between the two was as great as the difference between Gong Hao and Heinz.
Gong Hao also shook his head.
Under such circumstances, it was easy to imagine how difficult it would be to unravel the mystery of the creation of Elektra's flesh puppets.
In the following days, Gong Hao studied the flesh puppet and the notebook day after day.
Gong Hao, who used to be able to make himself look calm no matter how much work he had to do, was unable to split himself up for the first time.
Time flew by. Only when one was fully immersed in work would one realize that time passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, another three months had passed.
Compared to three months ago, Gong Hao was completely dejected to discover that his research on the flesh puppet had made no progress.
It had wasted almost all of his precious time, but it had not allowed him to make any progress in this aspect.
He had tried all possible ideas and methods, but none of them had passed. Gong Hao even began to wonder if Elektra had completed the flesh puppet described in his notebook. Could he have done it through other means? For example, mo matrixes?
However, history told him that at that time, Elektra had not invented mageweaths yet. Elektra's notes clearly stated that a magic circle that could resonate with magical elements by engraving on the human body was only an idea at that time and had not yet been put into action.
Moreover, the magic patterns were obviously not suitable for magic puppets.
Then how did this damn genius do it?
He rubbed his face in pain.

"Glaer." After walking into Gong Hao's laboratory, Andrew called out to him.
"My lord." Gong Hao stood up.
"Still no progress?”
"Yes, my lord. Elektra is indeed an extraordinary genius. I find it hard to imagine how he did all of this. My research on the flesh golem is completely fruitless.”
Andrew smiled and patted Gong Hao's shoulder."Mentor and Pierre conducted twenty years of research on the Flesh Puppet before they managed to create a Flesh Puppet that could cast a spell. You've only been an apprentice for less than a year, and your understanding of alchemy has only just begun. There's no need to be discouraged. Remember, the exploration of knowledge should be done step by step. Don't think about reaching the top in one step. We won't rush you to research the flesh puppets because we can see your hard work.”
"Yes, my lord."
"Alright, you've worked hard these past few days. Go out and relax. Rest for a few days before coming back. Perhaps it can make your rigid thinking that has been overused come back to life.”
"Lord Andrew, my thoughts are not rigid.”Gong Hao smiled bitterly.
"Oh, have you already learned how to refute my words?”Andrew was not angry.
"That's a sign of your love for me." Gong Hao smiled.”
"Well said." Andrew laughed out loud and held Gong Hao's hand."Come on, child. You're only thirteen years old. You still have a lot of time to study. Now, let's go to the port and take a look. Perhaps you'll find something good there.”
"To the port?" Gong Hao was a little confused,"But today isn't the day Liberty arrives."”
"Oh, the Freedom isn't the only one who can come to Purgatory Island. I thought that after what happened last year, you should understand this.”Andrew winked at Gong Hao.
Gong Hao was stunned. The image of a girl who had not appeared for a long time immediately appeared in his eyes.
Could it be…
Andrew smiled strangely and said,"Alright, little guy, hurry up and change your clothes. Dress up a little more and get ready to pick up the boat with me. Our distinguished guest…is someone only you can subdue.”
"She came for you, to find her lost friendship.”He winked at him.
