Chapter 76

Ancient Wizard Rune System

Matthew strode into the stone chamber. After systematic testing, he discovered that most of the artifacts here were magical plants, as well as some experimental materials related to magical beasts.

Most of the glass bottles on the display shelf contained the blood of dragons or wyverns.

【Name: Hurricane Dragon Blood】

【Name: Flametooth Dragon Blood】

【Name: Poisonous Breath Dragon Blood】

【Name: Crystal Iron Dragon Beast Blood】

【Name: Blood of the Corrupted Dragon Beast】

【…】

"It actually contains the blood of the Heart Abyss Dragon!"

He hadn't expected the Harrison family to have so many dragon bloodlines in their collection.

By reviewing Amon's experimental log, he has learned that the second bloodline fusion path of his Flame Devourer is the blood of the Heart Abyss Dragon!

Solving the problem of soul corruption also requires the blood of the Heart Abyss Dragon!

"I didn't know where to find the blood of the Heart Abyss Dragon, but the Harrison family prepared it for me."

"This is truly a timely help!"

However, this is not surprising, since the Eternal Twilight School's bloodline technology relies on the blood of wyverns, so it is not surprising to find the blood of the Heart Abyss wyvern here.

"Since the Harrison family has been engaged in this research, the other materials needed for the Eternal Twilight School's bloodline technology should also be available here!"

Thinking of this, Matthew's gaze swept over the magical plants displayed on the shelf.

【Name: Dragon Flame Flower Herb Juice】

【Name: Deep Blue Iron Crystal】

【Name: Purple Heart Leaf】

【Name: Moonlight Dragon Grass Powder】

【name:……】

"really……"

Matthew found more than a dozen other magical plants needed to complete the Eternal Twilight School's bloodline technology among these potions.

He looked at the lab table in the corner of the room. "All the materials are here, and there's equipment too."

"Let's just concoct the fusion potion for the Heart Abyss Dragon here before heading back!"

Thinking of this, Matthew couldn't help but chuckle.

"I wonder how Angela will react if she finds out I've completely resolved the soul corruption when I get back this time?"

Regaining his composure, Matthew went to several bookshelves.

He used the system to refine each book in his several bookshelves.

A moment later...

Matthew rubbed his throbbing head.

Most of the books here are experimental logs.

The contents of these experimental logs are primarily related to the Eternal Twilight School's bloodline technology.

The Harrison family sought a fifth type of dragon blood that could be fused, but unfortunately, their family has failed to achieve this goal for generations.

However, these experimental logs were not entirely useless to Matthew. He learned a lot of useful knowledge from them and gained a much deeper understanding of various dragons and wyverns. Now, it wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to call himself a dragon expert.

Secondly, if he wanted to continue the lineage and technology of the Eternal Twilight School in the future, these experimental logs helped him eliminate many incorrect answers.

Apart from the experimental logs, most of the Harrison family’s books were related to bloodline knowledge.

Matthew has made great strides in bloodline studies this time. Once he gets back and uses up all that knowledge, his bloodline studies will undoubtedly see a huge improvement.

He continued to peruse the contents of the book in his mind.

"Huh, what's this...?"

Matthew was suddenly drawn to a book called "The Complete Book of Thran's Rune Conversion," one of the few books in the Harrison family that were not related to bloodline studies.

Through his research, he discovered that this book, "The Complete Record of Thran Rune Conversion," is a formula book that records the conversion between an ancient, obscure wizard rune and the modern wizard rune system.

In the earliest stages of the wizarding world, the rune system was not yet fully unified, and there were as many as a thousand different rune systems.

Early rune systems were mostly primitive and outdated, and some of them even borrowed from rune systems in other planes of existence, rather than being original creations of the wizarding world.

After numerous debates over different systems, the wizard rune system proposed by the ancient wizard Randall defeated many other rune systems, laying the foundation for the modern wizard rune system.

Of course, with the continuous development and innovation of the wizarding world, the rune system proposed by Randall has also undergone countless iterations and updates.

The Thran rune system recorded in this book, "The Thran Rune Transformation Manual," was gradually forgotten by the wizarding world after the defeat in the debate over the system, to the point that even the Tide School is not included today.

Matthew only knew that the wizarding world had such a history before, and he didn't know much about the specific details of the conflict between systems.

The numerous histories of the wizarding world included in the school of thought only briefly touch upon that period of history, leaving many parts vague and unclear.

Suppressing his thoughts, he continued to examine these...

As Matthew turned the pages, his expression grew increasingly grave.

He discovered that Thran's rune system was extremely similar to that strange eye rune, and the latter was likely derived from the former.

"It seems that Mold used this book, 'The Complete Guide to Thrann Rune Conversion,' to transform that strange rune into a modern wizarding rune..."

"Both the Thran rune system and the modern wizarding rune system draw their energy from magic, which explains why Mold converted the strange runes and incorporated them into his own sorcery..."

"However, although Thran's rune system and that eerie eye rune are extremely similar, they are still not a perfect match."

Modern wizard runes converted according to the "Thran Rune Conversion Manual" will inevitably contain some inaccuracies.

"This is probably why Mold's magical fusion has never been successful..."

At this moment, Matthew suddenly paused, raised his chin, and fell into deep thought.

Then, a thought flashed through his mind.

"Mold may have failed, but I am different..."

"If I were to forcibly convert bizarre runes and incorporate them into witchcraft."

"Even if the runes have some inaccuracies, once a prototype is created, I can use the system to optimize the sorcery to perfection, and then..."

Thinking about this, Matthew shook his head.

"Unfortunately, I don't have the complete version of that strange rune..."

The rune he found was located right on the wound of the snow rock beast, so it was incomplete.

Furthermore, Matthew believes that even if that outdated rune system were incorporated into witchcraft, it wouldn't yield significant benefits.

However, as a wizard, driven by his desire to explore knowledge, he still planned to try converting the strange runes in his spare time.

"I wonder where Mold found that complete eye rune..."

Thinking of Mold, Matthew also thought of his few remaining friends, "Where did Todd go...?"

Thinking about it further was useless. He sighed, "Let's deal with the soul corruption first!"

After saying that, he walked to the display shelf and picked up the glass bottle containing the blood of the Heart Abyss Dragon.

He then took out all the materials needed for the Eternal Twilight School's bloodline technology and walked to the experimental table in the stone chamber.
