Everyone searched the room. Other than the dozens of pieces of paper that Gray found and the blood method that Bernal found, they only found a few crystal bottles filled with an unknown liquid.
Because there were no labels on the bottles, they did not know what the liquid was for. Could it be the kind of medicine that could control wild beasts?
After taking these things and wrapping the skinny man's head with a blanket, everyone returned to the initial location outside the Black Forest. At this location, the soldiers had already set up tents.
"Lord Viscount, do we continue to enter the Black Forest to kill?"
Lord Harrison asked.
"No, let the soldiers remove the tents and return directly to the castle."
Viscount Fergus shook his head.
With such a large forest, it was naturally impossible for the seven of them to clear out all the wild beasts in the forest in one go.
Therefore, they originally planned to spend a few days repeatedly entering the Black Forest from different directions to search for and kill large wild beasts.
However, according to the "experimental records" found in the house, the large hunting beasts in the Black Earth Forest were all controlled by the wanted criminal, McCarthy Thompson. Since the wanted criminal, McCarthy Thompson, did not appear when he was summoned, then there should not be any beasts left.
Of course, the most important thing was to bring the head of the wanted criminal McCarthy Thompson to the Sidney Castle as soon as possible. Wanted criminals all had a bounty. If they waited until the head rotted and could not prove their identity, they would miss out on this bounty.
The group of a dozen people returned to the castle in the afternoon. The matter of the wanted criminal McCarthy Thompson would naturally be handled by Viscount Fergus. Gray and the rest returned to their respective bedrooms.
"Young Master Gray, your hand … what happened?"
Gray's left hand was swollen and swollen. The maid Barbara saw it at a glance and was immediately worried.
"It's nothing, just a muscle strain. Go get me the Emerald Blood Clotting Ointment."
Gray indicated that he was fine.
The maid, Barbara, hurriedly trotted over and quickly returned with the Green Jade Hemostatic Ointment. She smeared it on Gray's hand and gently rubbed it over Gray's left hand, allowing the ointment to take effect faster. Then, she wrapped a white gauze around Gray's hand.
Traces of coolness seeped into Gray's arm. Gray felt much better. He couldn't help but recall his battle with the wanted criminal McCarthy Thompson today.
The gap between him and the Ferocious Blood Warriors was obvious. Although he was already quite strong among high-rank Blood Warriors, there was still a large gap between him and the Ferocious Blood Warriors.
However, he did not belittle himself.
Today, if it had been another high-ranking Blood Warrior instead of him, he would have died long ago.
The Wind Wolf's speed and Hanhu's strength allowed the gap between him and the Ferocious Blood Warriors to be closer than that between ordinary high level Blood Warriors. This was also the reason why he was able to last until Viscount Fergus arrived from the hands of the wanted criminal McCarthy Thompson.
"This person can actually refine a medicine that can control wild beasts. Although it is only temporary, it is not difficult to see that this person has talent in alchemy."
"Those papers that I discovered earlier, the first part is very likely the derivation process of the beast controlling medicine. Unfortunately, I don't have any knowledge of alchemy. Otherwise, I might be able to derive the formula of the beast controlling medicine from these papers."
The beast controlling medicine invented by the wanted criminal McCarthy Thompson definitely had great potential. If it could be further derived to the point of being able to control blood fiends, even the lowest level of the murderous level blood fiends would be invaluable.
On this continent, there was no lack of blood fiends. Imagine if tens of thousands of murderous level blood fiends appeared on the battlefield and uniformly charged at the enemy. What kind of shocking scene would that be?
It would be difficult for any kingdom's army to resist. Wherever they passed, they would be absolutely invincible.
Unfortunately, he wasn't an alchemist and couldn't derive the formula of the beast controlling medicine. He also didn't have the ability to improve the formula to the point of being able to control blood fiends.
Although wild beasts and blood fiends were both called "beasts", there was a huge gap between them.
An experienced hunter could contend against an ordinary wild beast, but only a Murderous level blood fiend could contend against a Murderous level blood fiend.
The gap between the two was like the gap between an ordinary hunter and a Murderous Warrior. It seemed small, but was actually as wide as a chasm.
Gray even felt that even if he gave this formula to Master Tulu of Sidney Castle, it was very likely that he wouldn't be able to derive it further.
The beast controlling medicine should only be at the level of an ordinary medicine. A medicine that could control blood fiends should at least be at the level of a magic potion. Master Tulu probably didn't have the ability to derive it.
Clap, clap, clap!
Behind him, the bedroom door was pushed open. Following the crisp sound of footsteps, a person ran in. Gray didn't need to turn around to know that it was Sarah. After all, she was the only one who would run into his bedroom without knocking.
"Brother, brother, I heard that you … are injured?"
Sure enough, Sarah's anxious voice could be heard from behind him.
She quickly ran to Gray's side. Seeing the bandaged left hand of Gray, her face was full of worry. Tears welled up in her eyes, ready to fall at any time.
"It's just a minor injury. It's fine."
Gray comforted her. While speaking, he endured the pain and moved his left hand, indicating that the injury wasn't serious.
"Really?"
"Really!"
Gray nodded heavily.
… …
A few days later, Gray's left hand had fully recovered. The bounty for the wanted criminal McCarthy Thompson had also been collected by the Fergus family.
The reward was a total of five thousand gold coins, almost equivalent to half a year's income for Viscount Fergus. But considering the other party's identity, it was only natural.
The other party was a pharmacist, a pharmacist who could create wealth. If the bounty was too low, it would inevitably cause some families to take risks and cover for the other party, collaborating with him to refine medicine and sell it secretly. Thus, a high bounty was inevitable.
In fact, Gray felt that with the other party's talent in alchemy, a bounty of five thousand gold coins was too little.
However, if he was given another chance, he definitely wouldn't stop Viscount Fergus from killing this person.
This person's talent was high, but he had no moral bottom line. He actually used human bodies for experiments. This was simply insane and exceeded the limits of Gray's tolerance.
Boom, boom, boom!
In an empty space in a warehouse in the castle, Gray's left hand continuously smashed into the air, causing the air to explode like firecrackers.
"It's indeed healed!"
Feeling the strength of his left hand, Gray nodded in satisfaction. His left hand was indeed healed.
After all, it wasn't fractured. Furthermore, he had the Emerald Blood Clotting Ointment, an extremely effective ointment that commoners couldn't afford. It was natural for him to recover in a few days.
"I've been delayed for a few days. From today onwards, I can continue to practice the blood technique."
"I haven't had time to practice after reaching the level of an upper-level blood warrior. According to the past, my training speed should be slower than when I was a middle-level blood warrior. But I don't know how much it will decrease, and how long it will take for me to reach the level of a ferocious blood warrior."
