As the trauma of his soul gradually recovered, Jia Lan found that he no longer needed sleep.

  His unique dual soul characteristics made one soul awake while the other soul went into dormant mode, similar to the so-called "battery" mechanism in the soul memory of another world, that is, one soul was in use while the other was charging.

  For spellcasters, this is undoubtedly a very desirable ability.

  Although spellcasters can replace sleep with meditation, they still need to invest time to restore the consumed mental strength.

  However, Jia Lan can let another soul meditate in the "backstage" while one soul is busy, so as to always maintain a full mental state.

  In contrast, physical fatigue is easier to recover than mental fatigue.

  Spellcasters are not combat professionals who need to consume physical strength rapidly in battle.

  Spellcasters who are static most of the time only need a nutritious food, a cup of fragrant milk, and a short rest of a few minutes during meals to restore their physical strength when they feel tired.

  No need for sleep, naturally no need for a bed.

  Therefore, Jia Lan removed the occupied bed and made room for a test bench and a large number of shelves, so that he could easily get the required materials when he needed to perform secret experiments.

  Some people say that a wizard's laboratory is more terrifying than a devil's lair, because you can never predict whether any object you touch will blow the entire building into the sky.

  This statement is of course directed at those who rashly break into the wizard's laboratory.

  Although the wizard's laboratory seems to be messy and even described as a garbage dump, as the owner of the laboratory, the wizards can always walk freely in this seemingly dangerous (actually extremely dangerous) environment and find the required items at hand.

  Jia Lan is not the kind of crazy wizard who is completely obsessed with experiments and has extremely bad living habits.

  However, the administrator's hut, which he transformed into a small laboratory, also looks extremely dangerous.

  Especially those crystal test tubes that still bubble when unattended and the obviously unstable substances inside.

  Jia Lan believes that this is not his fault, but only because the space is too small.

  In a single room of more than 30 square meters, the space is indeed stretched to the limit.

  Of course, even a space of more than 300 square meters or even more than 3,000 square meters may not be enough.

  Mages can always find various items to fill it up, and they think that these are necessary and may be used at any time.

  Jia Lan casually moved some tools on the wide test bench aside, took out the Orlando mask and the "space bag" and placed them in front of him, smacking his lips and rubbing his fingers as if he was preparing to eat.

  After hesitating between the two items, he first picked up the Orlando mask.

  Jia Lan closed his eyes slightly, took the crystal magnifying glass, and carefully checked every rune array line hidden in the decorative pattern on the mask.

  This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it.

  After confirming that it was intact, he took out a bottle of strong acid from under a pile of parchment manuscripts with a sense of relief, and took out a reagent lead bucket from under the only chair in the room.

  The reagent lead bucket contained a seemingly turbid liquid, showing a terrifying colorful color.

  Jia Lan was stunned for a moment. He had forgotten what was in it. However, it was not important.

  He looked around and saw a pot of withered plants in the corner of the room. He poured the turbid liquid into the pot.

  The originally withered plant turned black in an instant, and then stretched out its leaves as if it was resurrected in a short time.

  In less than five minutes, it grew about 30 centimeters taller, and porcupine-like quills appeared on its leaves, and the color became as colorful as the belly of a spider.

  When the plant, which was originally used as a container for the treatment of reagent waste liquid, sprouted fist-sized, tumor-like, disgusting dark red fruits on its branches, Jia Lan had already walked back to the test bench.

  He put the Orlando mask into the reagent lead barrel, pulled out the stopper of the strong acid, and poured the whole bottle into it until the mask was submerged.

  As the white foam in the reagent lead barrel continued to expand, Jia Lan began to prepare materials: mithril silk, gold-etching liquid, alchemical engraving pen, and three moonstones the size of little fingernails.

  This Orlando mask was well preserved, but due to the unauthorized intervention of someone who was dissatisfied with the silver color of the moonlight, it was additionally coated with a layer of liquid silver and engraved with complex patterns, resulting in some flaws.

  After Jia Lan used strong acid to treat it, he successfully removed the surface liquid silver and three gems, and then placed it in a basin of relatively clean water for a simple rinse. The mask immediately restored its original lead-gray tone, and even the rune array line slot was thoroughly cleaned.

  Afterwards, Jia Lan selected the mithril thread and used the alchemical engraving pen to fill the grooves of the rune array one by one with exquisite skills, repaired the worn parts, and accurately inlaid three moon stones in the gemstone grooves on the forehead of the mask.

  Except for the mithril thread filling work which took a little longer, the rest of the preparations were completed quickly.

  After Jia Lan finished warming up his hands, he gently placed his palm on the mask and chanted a spell in a low voice, injecting the arcane energy from his palm into the mask.

  At this time, the silver light spread along the mithril thread, covering the entire mask like a vine, and after shining for a moment, the Orlando mask exuded a soft moonlight, and at the same time released a faint hazy mist, completely covering the surface of the mask.

  "Success!" Jia Lan whispered to himself.

  However, at this moment, something strange happened!

  Originally, the function of the Orlando mask was limited to changing three facial features. As an identity disguise tool, it was not considered a high-end item in its era.

  Jia Lan bought this mask purely out of interest and curiosity.

  Considering its status as an alchemical tool and the relatively low price of 50 gold talans, it is still a good deal even if it is damaged.

  Jia Lan is confident that he can repair such damage. After all, it is not a high-level magic weapon, secret weapon, strange object, relic, secret treasure, holy object or artifact, nor is it an arcane superconducting equipment with powerful power.

  However, he did not expect that after a simple repair, the Orlando mask would be abnormal in the final activation stage.

  When Jia Lan injected arcane energy to activate the mask, the catalog stone that had been worn on his chest suddenly resonated with the Orlando mask composed of moonlight phantom silver and moon pattern stone, releasing a dazzling blue light, instantly covering the mask being activated.

  Jia Lan was surprised to find that the catalog stone could release such a strong "Light of Lean", while before that, it only reflected a faint light blue light under the moonlight and could provide limited illumination in the dark.

  Since Jia Lan woke up in this era, he noticed that the Catalog Stone seemed to be affected by some mysterious power in the upheaval of the earth vein explosion, and thus underwent strange mutations.

  This was reflected in the fact that Jia Lan was able to borrow moon energy from the Catalog Stone to release spells when the Orlando Energy Spring was exhausted.

  The moon energy in the Catalog Stone resonated with the Orlando Mask, a phenomenon that was completely beyond Jia Lan's cognition.

  When the strong and dazzling Lean Light was completely absorbed by the activated Orlando Mask, Jia Lan picked up the mask shrouded in soft light blue light and found that the light on it was slightly expanding and contracting like breathing.

  The Orlando Mask, which was supposed to emit a faint moon-white light mist, now emits a strong and eye-catching light blue light mist, as if it had life, faintly emitting a mysterious pressure.
