The impact brought by the Red Comet continued to ferment. For other places, it was fine—it just generated some rumors, such as the Red Comet being a star of disaster, and its appearance portending that the world would fall into turmoil.
But for Summerhall, the impact of the Red Comet was more profound. Not to mention that the Mages Association, the Tranquil Court, and the Church of the god of magic under his command began to play their proper roles, the impact on Black Hollow alone forced Lynd to put down other matters and stay in Black Hollow for several days, processing various experimental data with Malora.
Over the past few years, Black Hollow had conducted many types of experiments. Those experiments either failed completely or yielded unsatisfactory results. Only a few achieved the desired effects, and the vast majority were related to magic potions.
Although those experiments failed, Lynd did not cancel the projects. Instead, he temporarily sealed them away, because he knew very well that the reason for those failures was likely related to the surrounding environment. Those experiments required an environment full of magic, and he happened to know that after the Red Comet appeared, magic would return to the entire world of Ice and Fire.
Therefore, after the Red Comet appeared, after soothing Glory and Glutton and sensing that Deltos had fallen into a deep sleep, Lynd went to Black Hollow to restart those sealed failed experimental projects, and transferred a large number of personnel from the Tranquil Court to conduct these experiments simultaneously.
The results were as Lynd had imagined. Many of the previously unresponsive failed experiments began to show reactions. Although there was still a significant gap from true success, at least from the situation, things were moving in the direction Lynd had predicted.
However, the appearance of the Red Comet did not mean that everything was good.
Some Valyrian runes that Malora and others had previously developed for use had started to spin out of control. These Valyrian runes were originally intended for crafting magical weapons, but with the appearance of the Red Comet, these originally stable magic runes showed signs of magical turbulence after activation. Some runes even had their chaotic magic pile up and trigger explosions, killing three master craftsmen skilled in engraving magic runes and over a dozen apprentices who were about to graduate on the spot—a heavy loss indeed.
To avoid further casualties, Lynd had no choice but to suspend all rune engraving projects and conduct the experiments himself, one by one, to identify the changes in those runes and find solutions.
"Rune number seventy-three, the effect is distorted. It needs continued balance testing experiments to test methods for fixing the stable state." After Lynd finished testing the last rune, he provided the follow-up experimental plan and had the wizard assistant beside him record it.
"Using a guided test experiment would be faster." Malora offered a different opinion.
Lynd immediately vetoed it: "No, a guided test experiment will accelerate the unstable state, causing a magical riot in the rune, which will put the person conducting the test in danger. Test results can be taken slowly, but people must be safe. After all, the time, energy, and money spent on cultivating a qualified mage are too great."
Malora did not say anything else and then signaled to Qyburn, who had been waiting for a long time. Qyburn stepped forward to report his recent experimental results.
Among the many experiments in Black Hollow, apart from Malora's potion experiments, Qyburn's Undead Warrior experiment was the least affected and also the one that benefited the most.
Because in many of the experiments currently underway in Black Hollow, Qyburn's Undead Warriors were the best test subjects, and the various magic technologies that those experiments added to the Undead Warriors also indirectly strengthened the strength of the Undead Warriors.
For example, the Undead Warrior Qyburn was currently reporting to Lynd possessed abilities similar to a Lava Dragon due to a Valyria parasite experiment—specifically, heart lava-fication. His body also became as resistant to fire, or rather high temperatures, as an Unburnt, and most importantly, every one of his attacks, whether with his body or his weapon, could generate extremely high temperatures. Overall, he looked like the perfect weapon for dealing with White Walkers.
