In the Wizard World, alchemists using blood to draw runes wasn't something new. Especially in a relatively backward region like the Odin Empire, it was very popular for alchemists to use blood to draw runes. Basically, every alchemist in the Odin Empire would do this when practicing alchemy runes.
Even so, there were two kinds of blood that could be used to draw runes. The first was magic beast blood. Because magic beast blood itself contained energy, it was a natural material for drawing runes. Moreover, due to the large number of magic beasts in the Odin Empire, the price of magic beast materials wasn't high.
Thus, 99% of alchemists would choose magic beast blood when drawing runes with blood. Connor and some other alchemists he had come in contact with also used magic beast blood as a material when drawing runes.
However, compared to the widespread use of magical beast blood, there were some alchemists who, in order to achieve special alchemy effects, did not use magical beast blood when drawing alchemy runes. Instead, they used the blood of adepts or ordinary people!
If Connor wasn't wrong, the strange runes drawn on the wall belonged to the latter group. They were drawn with a mixture of Wizard blood and ordinary people's blood!
In the book 'Reyes Alchemy' that Reyes had imparted to Connor, there was a case of mixing Wizard Blood with ordinary people's blood to draw an alchemy rune. Around sixty years ago, there was an alchemist in the Odin Empire who did this. He fused Wizard Blood with ordinary people's blood in a ratio of 3: 7 before adding a few things to turn it into a new kind of liquid. He then used that liquid to draw an alchemy rune.
That alchemist's goal was to borrow the spirituality of human blood to gather pure energy so that he could practice a kind of spell.
Although that Alchemist Odin had achieved his goal, he neglected one thing. Although the spirituality in human blood could help gather pure energy, part of the emotions of humans were also integrated into the blood, and many of them were negative emotions before their blood was taken away. Thus, although that Alchemist Odin had successfully practiced the secret technique, he had absorbed too many negative emotions, causing him to lose control and turn into a monster that only knew how to kill. In the end, he was killed by the joint efforts of many Wizards of Odin!
And his deeds were regarded as a very classic example of an alchemist using human blood to draw runes, which many alchemists took as a warning.
And the reason why Connor dared to be certain that the Odin runes on the wall were drawn with a mixture of Wizard and ordinary people's blood was because he could faintly feel the negative emotions coming from the runes.
Odin runes on the wall, negative emotions …
Skeleton candlesticks in the corner, hallucinogenic effects …
Connor's eyes narrowed slightly as he carefully pondered over the two clues that he had found in this strange basement. After muttering to himself for a long time, Connor seemed to have figured out something from within. A glint flashed across his eyes as his gaze immediately shifted towards the center of the basement, where the thirteen bronze coffins of various shapes and sizes were located.
Whether it was the Odin runes on the walls, the skeleton candlesticks, or the white candles in the corners, Connor was certain that they hadn't existed for more than fifty years. In other words, these things might have been arranged by an alchemist that Rob had found.
As for the 13 bronze coffins in the center of the basement, Connor was a little unsure. Although the 13 bronze coffins were of different sizes, and their positions were also very irregular, as if they had been placed casually, in Connor's eyes, they were arranged in a picturesque disorder, and very ingeniously formed what seemed to be an altar-like formation.
Of the thirteen bronze coffins, ten of them were located on the periphery of the altar, surrounding and protecting the three bronze coffins at the core. According to Connor's experience, five of the ten bronze coffins on the periphery had been installed in the past twenty years. As for the other five bronze coffins, although they were old, there were obvious signs of repairs in recent years.
Although the ten bronze coffins around the altar were both old and new, the three bronze coffins at the core of the altar were still there. Connor had no idea how long they had existed, but he was sure that they had existed for at least a hundred years!
Although Connor wasn't sure what the purpose of this strange basement was, he had a vague guess in his heart. The three bronze coffins at the center of the altar seemed to contain something extraordinary. As for the other things in this basement, they seemed to be related to the guards and the opening of the three bronze coffins.
Just as he was about to do something in this basement to confirm his guess, the Rubik's Cube in Connor's hand suddenly made a buzzing sound, as if it was reminding him of something.
After receiving the reminder, Connor's expression changed instantly. Without hesitation, he immediately left the basement and closed the secret passage that led to the basement. After returning to Arshavin's Spectacle Shop, he gently tapped the Rubik's Cube in his hand. The Rubik's Cube immediately displayed the situation outside the shop. A man covered in a grey robe quietly walked towards Arshavin's Spectacle Shop after observing the situation on Zanetti Street.
Although Connor couldn't see the man's face and figure clearly due to the grey robe, after observing the man for a few seconds and sensing his aura, the man in the grey robe matched the image of a one-armed man with a venomous gaze in Connor's mind!
"Prince Boateng!"
Connor's gaze turned solemn as he slowly uttered the name. Although he wasn't sure how this guy had found this place, he was still here.
But now that he was here, if the closed sign hanging at Arshavin's Optician Shop couldn't force him to leave, Connor could only deal with whatever came his way and face it head-on!
Connor observed through the Rubik's Cube mirror as Prince Boateng walked step by step into Arshavin's Spectacle Shop. He seemed to have noticed the 'Closed' sign and the lock on the door. Prince Boateng walked ten meters in front of the shop and stopped there!
