The basement had a musty smell.

At the same time, the air was filled with a strong, almost tangible, smell of blood, as if this were a slaughterhouse.

Roy coughed from the smell and finally managed to climb down the stairs, his feet making a sharp, creaking sound.

The mouse that made the noise left a pink tail in his sight before quickly disappearing into the darkness.

Before me was a room of about ten square meters, with an undecorated rough stone floor and several candles hanging on the wall, with oil piled up beside them.

He found the flint placed to the side, took out the piece of iron from his pocket and struck it together, and the candle immediately ignited.

The room was also illuminated by orange candlelight.

Roy then discovered that the floor beneath his feet was covered with extremely intricate patterns drawn in blood.

"Is this the witch formation?" Roy glanced at it, then looked around, and after some deep thought, he was able to perfectly replicate the pattern he had just memorized. He was astonished to realize that his memory had reached an incredible level.

He looked up at the neatly arranged books and containers on the table. What first caught his attention was the plant growing in a large glass container.

It takes root in the moist soil, its entire body is blood red, as if it has been bathed in blood all year round. The leaves grow in clusters, with bristly edges, and grow vigorously, like the full wings of a migratory bird.

Having lost its terrifying color, it is just a robust fern, but since it is now adorned in red, it must be associated with a wizard.

The Eye of True Sight was cast in.

【Bloodline Resonance Fern】

Plant height: 12.3cm

Maturity: 38%

【characteristic:

1. After blood is absorbed, the target blood type is marked within 24 hours, and subsequent absorption will only be performed on blood of that blood type;

2. During the absorption process, the chamber will adjust the blood concentration in real time to ensure a dynamic balance with the blood concentration of the current absorption subject;

3. If the absorbed blood is not extracted within 24 hours, it will automatically be converted into nutrients and absorbed.

4. The current maximum blood concentration is 3.8%.

[Description: A new species of fern cultivated by the bloodline and life-following wizard Soraya, possessing convenient abilities, and a valuable laboratory item]

"Huh?" Roy was taken aback for a moment, then fell silent for a long time.

He was thinking about how to use this plant.

Finally, an unbelievable conclusion was reached.

In his previous life, he had some knowledge of biology.

Duck blood and chicken blood are extremely difficult to separate due to the small differences in cell state and density. Methods such as immunomagnetic bead sorting and density gradient centrifugation can be used, but ultimately, both methods only separate cells, and the purity cannot reach 100%.

The effect of this plant should mean that once it is marked with chicken blood, and then mixed chicken and duck blood is added, the Bloodline Resonance Fern will only absorb the chicken blood and keep the concentration of the blood and the mixed blood in balance.

In other words, it has perfect blood separation capabilities.

"This single effect alone makes it a truly precious item in the laboratory," Roy exclaimed.

Suddenly, he looked at the liquid bottle in his hand, which contained a mixture of human blood, Lottery Lion blood, Thunder King Kong blood, Dragon Flame Lizard blood, and blood of unknown bloodlines.

The blood, due to its impurities and lack of oxygen, had already taken on a dark, decaying appearance.

As a young man who aspires to be a knight or even a wizard, Roy believes that the abilities of these three creatures are quite good.

Hardened skin, a specialized ability for physical defense, needs no further explanation.

Due to insufficient bloodline concentration and practice, Delock's use of Spark was relatively minor, but breathing fire was clearly a mage's move with great potential.

Finally, the Lion's Roar directly disorients those with weak mental strength, which in battle is equivalent to a tightly held nuclear bomb, a subtly drawn dagger—it will definitely arouse fear in others. If it were hidden…

Tsk tsk tsk, Roy has no idea how many opponents he can outwit.

He planned to temporarily put away the Bloodline Resonance Fern, and then extract it from Drok's blood once he found a trace of the blood of these three creatures.

Even though it's secondhand blood, it's still usable.

Then Roy looked at the pile of books on the other side.

Most of them were disguised as contemporary chivalric adventure novels, but with his True Sight, he easily found the real items among them.

He yanked the thinnest handwritten booklet out from the middle.

An ancient and weathered scent wafted into my nostrils from the booklet; this scent was likely from an antique.

He solemnly opened the book, and the moment he saw the words, a tremendous mental shock overflowed from between the lines, invading his mind.

He swayed slightly, but quickly regained his composure.

According to the Eye of True Sight, this is a notebook left by a bloodline wizard apprentice. Every stroke contains his spiritual power, and only those with spiritual talent can read it normally.

The reading requirement is a mental attribute greater than 0.5, and for Delock it is 0.6, slightly above the lower limit.

As for Roy, even if you read it from beginning to end in one go, you will only feel a little tired.

The pages of the book are turned in my hands.

I can't understand it. It's ancient script, the language of wizards, complex and ever-changing, like twisted and tangled snakes, but there are annotations in normal script next to it.

The tiny characters, like ants, and each wizard's word was annotated with a sentence, which was quite meticulous, as if the author was very concerned about the reader's ability to understand.

The common language in this world is basically the same as English in his previous life, and Roy can still barely understand most of it.

After looking at it for a while, he realized that this book should be handed over as important evidence.

The first few pages are an ordinary diary, telling the story of a farm boy who, by chance, is tested and found to have wizarding talent, and is then taken to another world.

There, people with wizarding talents roam freely, and monsters abound, making it an inexhaustible breeding ground for the extraordinary.

At the wizarding academy, the boy chose the bloodline faction, studied many basic courses, learned the initial models of witchcraft, and became the weakest third-class apprentice.

Thus concludes the diary, which reads like a very short fantasy story, neither exciting nor realistic.

What is recorded in the book afterward are clearly notes from the learning process, concise and abbreviated, and the annotations at this point begin to be haphazardly written, as if the annotator is someone who understands the language of wizards but cannot comprehend the words of the writer.

Roy frowned slightly as he looked at the fragmented and incomprehensible annotations.

However, it's not a big problem. Although wizarding script has many strokes, Roy can still memorize it by gritting his teeth. He can learn the language later.

On the last page, the footnotes finally came together, demonstrating the level of a competent translator.

"This is a magic array I learned from my mentor, Anderson. It's said to be his ultimate simplified version, usable even by non-apprentices, practically barrier-free. However, the side effects are significant, and the concentration of the fused bloodline cannot be too high..."

Roy nodded silently. It was normal for a simplified formation to have such flaws. Otherwise, if ordinary people could use extraordinary abilities at will, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

He shuddered as he recalled how Delock would grow hair all over his body every time he triggered Hard Skin.

The side effects, while significant, are merely changes in appearance. No, perhaps some internal changes have also occurred within Delock's body.

He became alert and continued looking down. The notebook contained patterns of witchcraft formations drawn with cinnabar, but the marks had faded considerably.
