Beast Blood Magic Ink

According to common knowledge, magic inks can usually only be made from plants, with other materials serving only as supplementary. This is why making magic ink is considered a job for apothecaries.

As for blood, it's absolutely not used to make magic ink.

The reason is simple: putting the blood of other people or creatures into a person's body isn't unheard of in history, but the consequences of doing so are almost always terrible, even horrifying.

Usually, only ambitious and unscrupulous Black Magic practitioners like to do such things.

So almost no one would consider using blood to make magic ink.

But the Blood Elf have considered it.

For this notoriously insane race in Falaro's history, using beast blood to make magic ink is far too common an operation.

They even tried the blood of intelligent races many times, but they soon realized that the blood of intelligent creatures was difficult to process and not as effective as the blood of magical beasts, so they gave up.

Through long-term practice and research, as well as physical excavation of ancient knowledge, and after sacrificing many not necessarily willing volunteers, the Blood Elf successfully solved the key problems in the production of Beast Blood Magic Ink.

It's actually quite simple.

One type of beast blood entering the human body has serious consequences.

But two types of beast blood entering the human body together may be safe.

The Blood Elf discovered that as long as two types of magical beast blood with opposing attributes are mixed together, and a small amount of herbs is added, a high-quality transparent magic ink can be made.

The whole process is extremely simple, requiring almost no knowledge or skills, saving time and effort.

The only slightly troublesome thing is that the two types of magical beast blood must not only have opposing attributes but also be of the same level. For low-level magical beasts, the distinction between levels is actually somewhat vague, and basically, it can only be judged by experience.

Fortunately for Gagnor, this problem doesn't exist.

With his "Cognition" ability, he can accurately determine the level of an object with just a flick of his finger.

After reading Blood Magic Notes for a few hours.

The next day, Gagnor left Gray Eagle Camp and went shopping at the Hunter's Guild.

Among all the professional guilds, the Hunter's Guild is probably one of the most visible. One important reason is that many hunters entrust their hunting spoils to the guild for sale, or simply set up their own stalls to sell them.

The corpses of magical beasts have a wide range of uses, which makes the Hunter's Guild's market often very popular.

"Come and see, come and see, fresh Level 4 Earth-Type Great Horned Deer, Magic Core can be sold separately!"

"Level 2 Fire-Type Lion, there are still fifty pounds of meat, a canine tooth, and a hide left!"

"Level 1 Water Turtle, with Magic Core fragments, only ten silver coins, while supplies last!"

"Level 2 Wind Eagle eggs, can be hatched, un鉴定, fifteen silver coins bargain sale!"

Due to limited demand, there are not many stalls selling magical beast blood. Gagnor looked around the Hunter's Guild for a while before he saw a seller.

"Is this Level 1 Fire-Type Wild Bull blood?" he asked, pointing to a wooden barrel filled with blood.

"Yes, freshly drawn blood this morning, ten copper coins a pound, want some?" the seller said in a flat tone, "Can be used to make flux."

Gagnor didn't speak, but instead, he reached out and dipped his finger on the edge of the barrel, then pretended to put it in front of his eyes and rubbed it twice, as if he was carefully observing something.

In fact, at the moment of touching the blood, some information flooded into his perception.

[Item: Fire-Type Wild Bull Blood]
[Level: 2]

It's actually Level 2.

Gagnor raised his eyebrows slightly, which to some extent was a small find, but it didn't mean much.

If it were other parts, there might be a profit to be made by buying and selling. But blood ultimately has few uses, especially low-level blood, and the people of Nordanlun don't have the habit of eating blood tofu or the like, so it's not worth reselling at all.

"I'll come back and take a look later," he said, leaving.

This is the blood of a Level 2 Fire-Type magical beast.

To make beast blood magic ink, he also needs the blood of a Level 2 Water-Type magical beast.

After that, Gagnor wandered around here repeatedly, but he never encountered a seller selling Water-Type magical beast blood.

Just when he was about to give up, a hunter walked over from the east, carrying a dead, thick Water Snake on his shoulder.

The Water Snake had obviously just died not long ago, and although its head had been pierced with a knife, its body was still writhing in bursts, occasionally wrapping around the hunter's arm.

Gagnor's eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward to inquire.

Soon he confirmed that this was a Level 2 Water Snake, just what he wanted.

Unfortunately, the other party wanted to sell the whole thing and didn't bother to draw blood specifically. After Gagnor pleaded for a while, he finally bought some snake blood at a high price of forty copper coins a pound.

Then he turned back and bought the Level 2 Fire-Type Wild Bull blood as well, gathering one fire and one water type of magical beast blood.

Carrying the magical beast blood, Gagnor bought some herbs and then returned to his residence, where he began to make magic ink according to the method in Blood Magic Notes.

Mix equal amounts of these two types of magical beast blood with opposing attributes, then add a little herbal soaking juice, stir well, and let it stand for a while.

Before long, the original scarlet color and pungent odor of the beast blood quickly faded, turning into a colorless and odorless transparent liquid, which looked exactly the same as the transparent magic ink used by Marcus.

It's done!

Gagnor was a little excited.

However, to be on the safe side, he still bought a rabbit and administered the ink orally, applied it to wounds, and used various other methods to introduce it into the rabbit's body, observing its reactions.

The poor rabbit suffered terribly, but it didn't die, and even seemed to be gradually recovering.

The experiment wasn't very rigorous, but it could roughly verify that this ink wouldn't cause any serious consequences.

He took the ink to Marcus.

"You learned it so quickly?" Marcus asked, somewhat surprised.

Gagnor simply said, "I learned it from books, but I hadn't done it before. Now it seems it's not difficult at all."

"Check it out and see if the ink I made is usable," he said, handing over the glass bottle containing the ink.

Marcus didn't say anything, took the ink, and turned around to tinker with it for a while. After a moment, he said, "The ink is fine, it can be used... and the quality seems to be even better than the ink I was using before!"

Then he excitedly walked back and asked, "Did you use the basic formula I gave you?"

Gagnor said, "Actually, this is a formula I learned from a book. I think it's better."

Marcus blurted out, "What book?"

Gagnor smiled slightly, not answering.

Marcus also realized that the question was inappropriate; no one would easily reveal their exclusive formula.

He coughed twice. "Okay, never mind what book it is. From now on, I'll only use the ink you make!"
