Three days later, Duke received the review results of the Blood of War, much faster than before.
After becoming a Level 1 Arcanist, his rank improved, and his submitted research results were prioritized for review, so it was much faster.
If it were before, a research result of the caliber of Blood of War would have taken at least half a month to complete the review.
This research result of Blood of War earned a full three hundred Arcane points, based purely on the theoretical depth of the knowledge itself; if the impact of Blood of War was also considered, it might have been even more.
Duke's remaining Arcane Master points reached 330 points, and the historical cumulative points reached 480 points. The thousand points needed to become a Level 2 Arcanist were not too far away.
After obtaining the review results of Blood of War, he didn't rush to contact the Giant Rock Commerce Association, but instead pondered on how to make the best use of this research result.
Simply cooperating with the Giant Rock Commerce Association might not be entirely secure; they might not be able to handle something like Blood of War.
The personnel within Giant Rock Commerce Association are already complicated, similar to all parties. Collaborating with them on the improvement plan for Blood of War is likely to lead to leakage.
If it were a common Magic Potion like the Sun Resilience Potion, people would generally follow the rules and not have any ill intentions over such ordinary Magic Potions.
But Blood of War is different, involving not just interests but also affecting the war issues of various factions on the Other Planes.
Possessing the Bloodthirsty Trait, Blood of War undoubtedly can directly enhance the combat power of Slave Legions, providing a direct push to the wars of various factions in the Other Planes.
The Giant Rock Commerce Association is merely a commercial organization, surviving by relying on wizard organizations like Black Sail, essentially acting as a massive intermediary and logistics platform providing services to various forces.
With their capabilities, they simply can't guard something as high-caliber as Blood of War; it will certainly leak out.
Although the Wizard Plane has developed to the point where Wizard Civilization is extremely prosperous, the essence of the law of the jungle is still unmistakable; strength determines everything.
By the time other wizard organizations obtain the improvement plan for Blood of War, they can modify it at will and use it without Duke's consent.
Even if Duke causes trouble, in reality, he can't do much to these wizard organizations, at most providing feedback and complaints through the channels of the Arcane Master Association.
However, this would involve a series of power struggles and negotiations among all parties, which is extremely troublesome.
The Arcane Master Association can at most give some symbolic condemnation or demand compensation, but compared to the substantial benefits brought by Blood of War, such compensation is negligible.
Placing such an important strategic resource entirely in the hands of a commercial organization poses high risks, with potential returns severely diluted.
The Giant Rock Commerce Association can only be a part of the chain and must not become the core.
"Black Sail..." Duke quickly had some thoughts in mind.
He can now rely on the big tree that is Black Sail. As a member of the Black Sail Third Legion, a research result like Blood of War won't get swallowed up.
If Duke chooses to cooperate with Black Sail, even if the profits are somewhat less, there is at least a guarantee.
After receiving the endorsement and protection of Black Sail, negotiate cooperation with the Giant Rock Commerce Association in the name of Black Sail.
Black Sail would be responsible for the confidentiality and security of the core production process, as well as resisting external pressures.
The Commerce Association would be responsible for material supply, large-scale production coordination, finished product sales, and channel management.
This way, he can utilize the shelter and power of the organization while maintaining personal independence and maximum benefit, borrowing the network of the Commerce Association without being tied or overshadowed by it.
Duke thought about it and sent a message to Lucas: "Mr. Lucas, I have an improvement plan for Blood of War, which has already been approved by the Arcane Master Association."
A moment later, Lucas replied: "Blood of War? How many Arcane Master points?"
Lucas did not ask about the specific effects of the improvement plan but first inquired about its value in Arcane Master points, from which the value of a research result can be gauged.
"Three hundred."
"Three hundred? What improvements did you make?" Lucas was somewhat surprised.
Duke then elaborated in detail on the Bloodthirsty Trait of the improved Blood of War, and Lucas continually posed questions.
Half an hour later, Lucas was genuinely interested in this research result: "Bring the review results provided by the Arcane Master Association and several samples, we need to conduct some experiments, and if the experimental results are satisfactory, I'll report it."
Lucas has always been meticulous and responsible in his work within the Third Legion, never procrastinating in his tasks.
After agreeing on the time with him, Duke prepared three improved samples of Blood of War, as well as some organized information, including experimental data, etc.
The final piece was the review results from the Arcane Master Association, representing the authoritative endorsement of the association, and was the most important document.
The next day, on the Elizabeth, inside a laboratory.
Besides Lucas and Duke, there were three other wizards from the Third Legion, responsible for recording some experimental data.
Lucas placed great emphasis on this research result, assigning three wizards with substantial achievements in Magic Potion and who are all Level 2 Wizards.
Duke handed over his prepared documents and materials, and Lucas, along with the other three, quickly browsed through them, using Spiritual Power to scan and complete the reading swiftly.
Lucas then instructed the three wizards to conduct some tests on the samples of Blood of War provided by Duke. They first performed component analysis on the samples using precise alchemy instruments, comparing them with the report data for cross-verification.
After confirming there were no major errors, it was time for the live testing phase.
The test subjects were several Abyssal Hunting Dogs bound by Magic, fiercely aggressive and a common low-tier magical beast, also a basic unit within the Slave Creature Legion.
Lucas personally operated, injecting the improved Blood of War into one of the hunting dogs.
Duke observed closely from the side, ready to answer Lucas's questions at any time.
The potion took effect swiftly, the eyes of the Abyssal Hunting Dog immediately covered with a layer of bloodthirsty crimson, muscles bulging, strength, speed, and response abilities increasing at a visible pace, and the dog itself did not lose sanity due to the increased power, showing no signs of losing control or going berserk.
These were not particularly surprising, as they were merely the basic effects of Blood of War, enhancing the strength of the Slave Creatures without major negative effects.
