God Research Handbook - Anatomy!

The few large words before Isaac's eyes left him stunned. So domineering? So high-end?

Was the Witch's curse really not supposed to worsen his luck?

Isaac stared at the spell manuscript, unable to calm himself for a long time. Slowly, he raised his right hand and gently pinched his face...

"Hiss!!!"

The pain on his face and the shock in his heart made Isaac suck in a sharp breath. This thing was real?

Where had his brother gotten it?

"Gulp~"

Swallowing, Isaac carefully turned the page. He was incredibly curious about its contents now!

"Uh..." After seeing the contents of the spell manuscript, Isaac blinked in confusion. It seemed like... he could understand this thing?

Were gods really this low-tier?

With a trace of doubt and disappointment, Isaac continued reading...

A moment later, he put down the spell manuscript. His tense nerves relaxed, but at the same time, a faint disappointment settled in his heart...

Although the title of the spell manuscript sounded extremely impressive, it was actually nothing special. The knowledge it covered was still within the scope of a Formal Wizard, and the gods it mentioned were not true gods.

More accurately, they should be called God Seeds.

The most basic form of a god.

Of course, they had other, more conventional names as well, such as totems, essence souls, spirits of this or that, and so on. They referred to creatures that drew their power from Faith Power.

In terms of life essence, they were no different from gods.

But as everyone knew, discussing effects without considering dosage was nonsense. Although God Seeds shared the same essence as gods, the gap in their power was like that between a firefly and the bright moon.

The premise of this spell manuscript was quite lofty. It attempted to study gods through God Seeds, and its various dissection records all concerned God Seeds. It mainly involved three God Seeds: a Black Snake Totem with a flesh-and-blood body, a Violent Bear Essence Soul that possessed only a soul, and finally, a Wilderness Spirit born in the untamed wilds.

As far as categories went, it was fairly comprehensive.

Aside from research materials, it also contained a spell created from this knowledge—God Creation!

Of course, after gaining a rough understanding of the spell manuscript, Isaac knew that this name was definitely exaggerated, and greatly so.

Strictly speaking, it should be called Totem Creation.

Because let alone lofty gods, this spell could not even create the other two—an essence soul or a Wilderness Spirit. It was an incomplete product.

Of course, perhaps it had been improved in later spell manuscripts.

But at least the copy in his hands was like this.

Even so, this manuscript was still of immense use to him. After all, it matched his specialty perfectly. What he was best at now was biological modification.

Steadying himself, Isaac focused on the spell manuscript once more and studied carefully. From time to time, he also read the Magic Book his elder sister had given him. The more foundational theories he understood, the better.

Thus, Isaac once again immersed himself in the ocean of magic. With the Golden Finger's meticulous guidance, like that of an unparalleled master teacher, he absorbed all knowledge rapidly like a sponge!

As Isaac buried himself in study, time quietly passed. In the blink of an eye, three days had gone by...

That morning, Isaac was not studying in the laboratory. Instead, he had come to the training ground for the first time in a while, basking in the sun as he watched Barton sweat through his training. After successfully advancing to Knight with the Blood Essence Potion, Barton's once-dormant drive had become as vigorous as his body, brimming with boundless vitality!

Now, every time Barton finished patrol duty, he immediately began training, unwilling to waste even the slightest opportunity.

Isaac had not come to watch Barton train merely because he had nothing better to do. Today was the day the Dragon Lizards and Demon Rats were to arrive. He had long since cleared out a warehouse behind the castle and finished setting it up as a Beast Breeding Ground.

Now, all that remained was for the Dragon Lizards and Demon Rats to move in.

"Whew~"

Before long, a black dot slowly approached from the horizon. A minute or two later, it took the form of a Wyvern and descended onto the training ground, kicking up dust that filled the sky.

The Guard Squad hurried over and gathered around Isaac, staring in shock at the Wyvern in the distance.

A Wyvern was a relatively high-level Subdragon. Both its bloodline and appearance were extremely close to those of a true dragon, and its strength was formidable as well. A normal adult possessed physical strength comparable to that of a Grand Knight!

And in actual combat, most Grand Knights were no match for it, because it could fly!

Yet such a powerful Wyvern was merely used by the Flesh and Blood Tower for deliveries...

Isaac shook his head slightly. His understanding of the wizarding world had deepened once again. It seemed that this world was still ruled by spellcasters.

Patting Barton on the shoulder to signal him not to get too excited, Isaac walked around him and slowly approached the Wyvern. At the same time, he took a piece of parchment bearing the contract from the inner pocket of his Wizard Robe and handed it to the creature.

"Hiss~~" The Wyvern lowered itself slightly and pressed its golden pupils close to the parchment for a moment. Then, with a light shake of its wings, twelve cages—two large and ten small—appeared beneath its feet. After that, its long tongue flicked out and retrieved the voucher from Isaac's hand.

With that, the transaction was complete.

"Hiss~" The Wyvern nodded, then beat its wings and flew into the sky once again.

Isaac watched the Wyvern's departing figure with envy and let out a quiet sigh. Flight, dragons, spatial equipment...

They were truly enviable...

Especially spatial equipment, one of the standard necessities for transmigrators.

Although he had a dimension that could store things, opening it frequently was unsuitable for its growth. Using it too often might even cause the dimension to collapse. For now, it could only serve as one of his trump cards. It was far less convenient than spatial equipment.

Lake Town sold such things.

Unfortunately, they were not cheap.

A full five hundred Gold Coins!

And the space was not even large!

Rather than waste money like that, he might as well find a way to make one himself!

Hm?

Isaac froze slightly. He seemed to understand why most wizards were so versatile...

Shaking his head and casting aside the random thoughts in his mind, he walked over to the cages and carefully examined the Dragon Lizards and Demon Rats.

The Dragon Lizards were a little over half a meter long, not particularly large. Their scales looked rather soft, and they did not seem very strong. However, their magical power content was not low at all. Each one was equivalent to five goblins!

Covered in gray scales, they lay motionless in their cages like stones.

They were not dead, though. They had been put under a sleeping spell for transportation.

The Demon Rats beside them were also sleeping deeply in their cages. Their vicious claws, fangs, and dark skin gave off an ominous feeling. A faint demonic aura lingered around them. They were about the size of a fist. Although their magical power was much stronger than that of Demonic Rats, their combat power was still quite ordinary.

They were only somewhat stronger than a goblin.

Their main advantage was their speed.

That was normal enough. Although Demon Rat had the word "demon" in its name, it did not actually possess demon blood. Otherwise, it would not be available for novice breeding, because demons were magical creatures with the fastest evolution rate and the greatest variety of evolutionary paths!

Demons were unlike dragons. Even a creature with only a trace of demon blood might awaken that bloodline through a random slaughter, causing its strength to soar!

The name Demon Rat simply came from the faint demonic aura it possessed. In truth, it was nothing more than flesh-and-blood wheat. Its teeth and claws were necessary materials for many rituals and were in high demand. Its flesh was an auxiliary ingredient for certain potions and could also be used in special rituals.

However, the Demon Rat's most valuable part was its fur. It was a casting material for an entire spell series and was in even greater demand!

Thus, breeding Demon Rats was actually a fairly profitable venture.

After checking them over, Isaac found no issues with either the Dragon Lizards or Demon Rats. He immediately had the guards carry them to the warehouse behind the castle, while he returned to the laboratory first to collect some materials before heading to the warehouse.

"Young Master Isaac."

"Lord Isaac."

Isaac merely nodded lightly at Smith and Barton's greetings, then went straight to the Dragon Lizard's cage. He placed a piece of parchment written in blood before it and softly recited the incantation provided by the Flesh and Blood Tower.

In an instant, as Isaac's magical power pulsed, the parchment in his hand transformed into streams of crimson light and entered the Dragon Lizard's body.

This was the blood contract spell issued by the Flesh and Blood Tower for controlling magical creatures. It was a relatively basic spell for controlling magical creatures. Although these were domesticated Dragon Lizards, they were still magical creatures. There was no telling when they might lose control.

Therefore, it was best to impose some compulsory measures.

Of course, there were no free lunches in the world. This blood contract spell could only be used for breeding magical creatures. Once combat began, the already fragile connection would become even weaker.

If one wanted to control higher-level magical creatures and send them into battle, then unfortunately, more advanced spells were required.

However, Isaac had no such plans for now, so it did not matter. He could simply buy one when the need arose.

Next, Isaac took out eleven more pieces of parchment and formed blood contracts with the remaining Dragon Lizard and Demon Rats.

Low-level blood contract spells were not without advantages. The number of contracts they could support was one of their few strengths.

After all, breeding was never done one creature at a time. It was different from magical creatures used in battle and Magic Pets used to assist with casting.

After completing the blood contracts, he first placed the Demon Rats into the prepared rat pen and casually tossed in several chunks of raw meat. Then he looked toward the two Dragon Lizards.

Under Smith and Barton's curious gazes, Isaac took a bottle of Blood Essence Potion from his robe and looked at one of the Dragon Lizards.

Immediately, data visible only to him appeared above the Dragon Lizard's head—

Dragon Bloodline Awakening: 35%+

Seeing this data, Isaac's lips curved upward slightly. As expected, it could be done.

Forcibly suppressing his excitement, Isaac focused on the "+" after the percentage. A long list of materials that could raise the success rate immediately appeared.

The very first entry was Blood Essence Potion *2. Three bottles of potion would directly awaken the bloodline.

But the cost of doing that was far too high.

Fortunately, there were many more materials listed afterward. He could take his time choosing. Cost-effectiveness was important.

Unfortunately, there were quite a few materials he did not know.

But that was fine. The materials provided by the Golden Finger were definitely ones he had seen and roughly understood the properties of. As long as he went back and checked the records, he would understand them. It was not a big problem.

With a great weight lifted from his heart, Isaac smiled contentedly as he placed the Dragon Lizards into separate compartments and activated the formation spell—Beast Breeding Ground!

Under Smith and Barton's astonished gazes, the glow of magical power spread across the warehouse walls. A special magical frequency rippled through the rat pen and Dragon Lizard enclosure, silently accelerating the growth of the Demon Rats and Dragon Lizards.

"From now on, send food in once a day. Just throw raw meat in here. Use the meat inside for now. Once it runs out, I'll make arrangements," Isaac said happily, clapping his hands.

"Yes, Young Master." Smith nodded slightly. Aside from being expensive to feed, it was not difficult.

But that was not too serious a problem either. First, he believed in Isaac's abilities. Since Isaac wanted to raise them, he must have already calculated the costs and knew he could afford it. Second...

Even if they truly could not afford it, Isaac had already become a wizard. He was no longer that frail, sickly youth. Although he had lost part of his inheritance rights because the family had split, he was still blood of the Solomon Family. With his identity as a wizard, joining the core ranks of the territory would not be difficult.

Forget twelve magical creatures. Even if that number increased tenfold, the territory could afford to support them!

Among viscounts, the Solomons were among the strongest. They were not even weaker than some earls!

After giving Smith his instructions, Isaac turned and left the warehouse. The magical creatures had arrived, and now it was time to study again.

As for the Dragon Lizards, there was no rush. First, it was not yet time for their bloodlines to awaken; they still needed to grow a little larger. Second...

He had no money.

He was currently penniless. Even if he found cost-effective materials, he could not afford to buy them.

Materials related to dragons were all grossly overpriced. Even useless weeds growing beside a dragon nest could fetch extra money just because of that association. No matter how cost-effective they were, they were beyond Isaac's current means.

He should continue his research first. They could talk about it once the first batch of Demon Rats had been sold.

Three days later, Isaac stood before the operating table in complete concentration. He wore a White Coat and held scalpels in both hands, while a vicious Demonic Claw danced behind his head, occasionally handing Isaac a tool when it needed to be changed.

On the operating table lay a Demon Rat whose chest and abdomen had been cut open, its body nearly dismembered!

Normally, a wound that practically opened up the entire body would certainly be fatal. Yet strangely, although half its head had already been cut open, the Demon Rat still retained a faint spark of life!

Though weak as a firefly, it was indeed still alive.

However, judging from Isaac's tightly furrowed brow, the operation did not seem to be going very smoothly...

After a long while, as the percentage in Isaac's eyes fell to zero, the Demon Rat's life finally went out as well. It ultimately died on the operating table, unable to become the god of Demon Rats...

"Ah... its life force still isn't strong enough..."

Isaac frowned deeply. He casually fed the Demon Rat's corpse to the Demonic Claw, removed his bloodstained gloves, and returned to the desk to record the operation data.

What he had just performed was a Totem Creation operation. He had created it by modifying the principles of Totem Creation. Since the Totem Creation spell required mastery of basic alchemy first, and he did not currently know that.

So he had decided to try reproducing it through surgery.

Unfortunately, he had already failed five times...

The first four times, he had used Demonic Rats. This time, he had switched to a Demon Rat with greater vitality, yet it had still failed...

Perhaps the problem lay elsewhere...

Isaac frowned deeply, opened the spell manuscript again, and continued his research...
