Just looking at the corresponding description might make this ritual seem unremarkable, but when Anduin saw the case of a Travers ancestor who had used this bloodline refinement, he felt the evil of this magic. ReadingМ

When the Travers ancestor performed the bloodline refinement, he mostly used it as a tattoo, drawing the magic circle directly on his body.

The most successful case was a wizard from the family named Sigurd, who once captured a Norwegian Ridgeback dragon, and then used a large amount of dragon blood and his own blood to depict the bloodline refinement circle all over his body.

After he completed the magic circle, he used the Imperius Curse to control the Norwegian Ridgeback, making it tighten its skin all over its body, then he bled it, and he bathed in the dragon's blood. The Norwegian Ridgeback eventually died from blood loss, and Sigurd gained powerful defenses comparable to a dragon.

Of course, Sigurd's ending was also quite dramatic. After gaining defenses comparable to a dragon, he became extremely arrogant and plundered resources everywhere with his powerful force.

Then he met Godric Gryffindor, one of the founders of Hogwarts. This founder of the Lion House hated evil and loved duels. After seeing Sigurd's evil deeds, he naturally chose to stand up and challenge Sigurd to a duel.

According to the records in the magic book, Gryffindor and Sigurd's first duel actually ended in a draw. Sigurd's powerful defense made it difficult for Gryffindor to break through, but he couldn't defeat Gryffindor either.

Then they both chose to retreat temporarily and agreed to a second duel. During the two duels, Gryffindor actually found Sigurd's weakness.

That was that when Sigurd completed the bloodline refinement ritual, a leaf stuck to his shoulder during the process of bathing in dragon blood, and that became his only weakness.

So in the second duel, Gryffindor seized this weakness and killed Sigurd. Since then, the sword in Gryffindor's hand has had the sharpness to easily pierce dragon skin.

This record seemed a bit outrageous to Anduin, because it looked like a fairy tale from Norse mythology, and he didn't know who copied whom.

But no matter how much of the content above is true, from the side, this bloodline refinement ritual is also quite powerful.

It's just that the amount of bloodletting is a bit exaggerated. In all the records, both steps of completing this ritual require a large amount of blood from the target. If it were Tonks, she would probably die in the first step.

"It seems I have to use other materials for an experiment first. This magic circle is too old, maybe there is room for improvement, and I also have to measure the required blood proficiency," Anduin closed the magic book and decided to find a magical animal to try first.

Then he set his sights on a Streeler in the park. The Streeler's skin strength is also very high. He planned to perform a bloodline refinement ritual on a piece of ordinary cowhide to see if he could make the cowhide as tough as Streeler skin.

Moreover, Streelers have good physiques and a lot of blood, so they are more durable for experiments. Even if they are accidentally killed in the end, they can be turned into ingredients.

With a plan in mind, Anduin collected the auxiliary materials, drew blood and shaved the hair of a strong Streeler, then took a few drops of his own blood and hair, mixed them with all the materials and put them into a crystal bottle, and found a place to seal it.

A week later, when Anduin took out the bottle of mixed liquid, he found that it did indeed turn transparent as recorded, just like a bottle of plain water.

But in the process of depicting the magic circle afterwards, a problem occurred in the experiment. The evaporation speed of this potion was more exaggerated than recorded. Anduin had just started depicting, and only half of the potion in the crystal bottle was left, which scared him into quickly sealing the lid tightly.

"No wonder the first step requires a large amount of blood. At this evaporation speed, at least 20 times the standard amount of blood is needed to complete the magic circle. It seems I have to think of a way," Anduin began to think in his heart looking at this situation.

Finally, he came up with an idea, which was to make a device that could connect to the crystal bottle, which was equivalent to connecting the engraving pen to the bottle cap, and then putting the bottle cap on the crystal bottle and turning it upside down, and directly using this engraving pen with potion to depict, just like putting an ink bottle on a fountain pen, in order to reduce the waste of potion.

This operation was quite easy for an alchemist like Anduin. After spending some time, he made a finished product. He found that the effect was okay when operating it. Although the potion would also evaporate, it could avoid a lot of waste. Except for being a little heavy, it was acceptable.

After engraving the magic circle on the cowhide, he did not immediately take it to rinse with pig's blood, but took out two alchemy props.

One of the props was a metal microscope, with structures similar to ordinary microscopes, such as a base, arm, barrel, stage, etc., but in the middle of the stage, there was no light transmission hole like a normal microscope, but an ordinary flat metal stage.

The other alchemy prop was a magnifying glass, a circular lens connected to a handle.

These two alchemy props were the observation equipment that Anduin had just developed. They were actually a type of equipment, but there was a slight difference in strength.

The magnifying glass-shaped observation instrument has good penetration and can observe the magic flow inside other alchemy props through the material, and the runes that are secretly engraved into the alchemy materials can also be seen clearly. With it, Anduin can openly observe the runes in the products when he goes to alchemy prop shops in the future.

The microscope-shaped observation instrument has a stronger effect, and can even penetrate the bodies of magical creatures to observe the flow of magic in their bodies. Unfortunately, it can only observe at present and cannot measure. Otherwise, the magic measuring instrument that requires blood extraction can be eliminated.

Anduin had previously used it to observe Tonks, and thus judged that Tonks' Metamorphmagus ability belonged to bloodline magic.

He used the observation instrument to observe the magic circle first. From the trend of the lines and the flow of magic on it, Anduin roughly understood which parts of the magic circle were the core parts.

Then, he went to the magical animal park in the Forbidden Forest, controlled the Streeler, and then used electricity to stimulate it to tighten its skin, then bled it and poured it on the cowhide, and kept observing the changes in the magic circle with a magnifying glass.

After the cowhide the size of a washbasin was completely covered by pig's blood, it began to produce a magical reaction. At this time, Anduin tightened the blood, and the magical reaction continued. It seemed that this ritual did not require the blood to be rinsed continuously.

After stopping the Streeler's bleeding, Anduin continued to observe the reaction of the magic circle until the lines on the cowhide completely disappeared, and the state of this cowhide also completely changed.
