I had a couple of doubts regarding the previous results, for example when I applied the blood on the roots, trunk and leaves, the place became metal, so why when the liquid was spread all over the plant, it did not harden?
Maybe it's too early to speculate, but the last three plants don't look like they're going to grow. I didn't expect exponential growth similar to what happened with the first two plants, but at least I expected something, not just that they would harden, after all if it weren't for the leaves that turned out to be useful, the whole experiment would have been a failure.
It is also curious how the leaves changed color and the stem did not. I won't mention the vile rebellious plant and its roots because they were covered with soil when Danamus pulled it up, but I would say it had the normal root color.
To be honest there are many things that don't make sense, although I guess because I'm just starting out it's normal, but that doesn't justify how annoying this situation is. I wish there was some magic fruit that would give me all the answers, that would be perfect.
"I didn't think this research thing was so desperate. Do you have any ideas that might be useful to me?"
“Guyar?”
"Magic, really? Is that all you can think of? Friend, that doesn't help *sigh* although it makes sense... yeah, it's my fault for asking a magical being about magic in a magical world"
Of course, as always we have to be positive. Now I have something to cut with. The leaf Shuriken can be very useful, so it wasn't all in vain.
"At least I got something positive, this is perfect to get rid of this stupid beard"
"Guyar"
"Thanks for trying to make me feel better, but there is no point in growing my beard, I look like a badly mowed lawn. I have patches in different areas..... Unless you use that magic of yours and make it become a beautiful, even, bushy beard"
"....."
"You can't, right? So what is the use of your magic, great dragonlord?"
*Buosh*
"And what good is it if you spit fire? Can your fire breath make me understand magic?"
“.....”
"The way I see it, it's only good for barbecuing"
“Gu-”
"Forget it, these leaves will do the job. It's not much, but it came at just the right time. Oh, of course, now that I think about it, do you think that with your mighty breath of fire you can cut my hair?"
*Buosh*
“.....”
“.....”
"Do you hate me so much that you're trying to kill me or worse yet, make me bald? Dude, use those tricks of yours or the claws"
“....”
"It seems that during this time only your muscles and magic have developed, but you still have to work hard, your intelligence still has deficiencies"
“GuyarGuyar”
"Ouch, dude, that was playing dirty, but I'll prove you wrong and that magical science has more potential than those little tricks of yours. Just give me time....and blood"
“......”
Experiment N°2
Day 1
Now that I've seen the results of the seedlings, it's time to move on to slightly larger plants to be more precise, the ones that will soon bear fruit. I don't know what seasons are here or if it's time for the plants to bear fruit, I don't even know where the fuck I am, but at least I can know that the plants that have flowers are the ones that will bear fruit soon, or at least that's what I hope.

Although things did not start in the best way, I hadn’t even started with the experiments and there was already a problem, and I don’t know why I didn’t think about it before If it’s very obvious, the trees that have flowers are quite large compared to the seedlings, so in order to perform the same previous experiments, according to my calculations I would need a lot more blood, so replicating the first two experiments is out of the question and since I only have 10 ml of blood I have to decide where to use them.
The roots would be the most obvious since it is through the roots that they absorb nutrients from the soil, but the drawback is that I can't see what is going on underground and I would have to wait for it to show some change on the outside and if there is no change I would be wasting my time. Also as it is a larger plant clearly there are clearly variables, new results, that I'd like to be able to observe.
The stem on the other hand is very large, so it is discarded, leaving me with only the leaves as an option. And I must say that the fact that they are the only useful thing so far did not affect my final decision.
I decided on the leaves because it is the part that showed the most reaction in the previous experiment. The plan is that it absorbs the blood as it absorbs sunlight or daylight in this case, since I still don't see the sun. In any case I hope that this way I can see results faster. Although of course, it's all based on my limited knowledge of normal plants, I don't know how a magical plant works.
Also, 10 ml is very little and from what I can guess the roots must be huge, so that will most likely affect the result. On the other hand, I can ask Danamus to fly over the plant and smear the blood directly on the leaves, which would save me the fatigue of doing it myself. It is clear that it will not be uniform, but I hope it will be enough.
"Hey, hmm. About what we were talking about earlier, I need your help with something. It's not much, just that you fly and spread your blood on the leaves of that tree. It doesn't have to be all the leaves, just the bigger ones or the ones you deem most important"
*Nod*
'I thought it would be hard to convince him. That means that the talk before managed to convince him to continue helping me, it seems that I have been underestimating my power of persuasion'
Day 2
As expected there are no changes, although it seems that the leaves absorb the blood faster. I think their color is already starting to change, but it's still not clear, maybe it's just my desire to get results soon that is deceiving my eyes. I begin to doubt myself, which is not a good sign considering that I will probably be locked up here for a long time, unless I have some luck and find something that solves my current problems, which is unlikely.
If there are results tomorrow, it would be a considerable decrease in time with respect to its previous companion plants, and it would also mean that the older the plant, the faster it absorbs the energy contained in the blood. That would give me more hope for the future when I do tests on myself, but I will not get excited so soon, I don't want to keep false hope.
On the other hand, the first experiment continues to show results, it seems that the first plant continues to grow at intervals, today while I was checking them I realized that it grew a little more and even the last two plants also grew a little, although they seem to grow at a much slower pace.
I still don't understand the reason, it could be the amount of blood or the place of application or both. I mean, with the previous results the only thing I know is that the plant must be alive and I thought that the amount also influenced negatively in the result, but although slow, the plants show a growth, so now I’m not sure, although at least now I know that it was not in vain. Unfortunately, although they are still growing, there's no fruit.
'If they're supposed to be alive to be able to absorb energy. Surely they can hear too, right?
"HELLO TREES OF THIS FOREST, I KNOW YOU ARE ALIVE AND I WOULD LIKE TO PROPOSE A DEAL THAT WILL BENEFIT YOU A LOT"
"....."
Maybe the solution was always in front of my eyes and trees are the spirits I was looking for before, it's not sure, but at least I had to try.
"I WON'T DO YOU ANY HARM, I PROMISE. IF YOU LISTEN TO ME AND I AGREE, MOVE YOUR LEAVES"
"....."
"Guyar?"
"It's science, not madness, magical science. You should know by now, Mr. Magic Dragon"
Day 3
It took three days for the tree to change its color to the usual pale gray. It was six days before the seedlings
"Friend, I’ll have to trust you again to bring my food"
"Grrr!"
"Hey, don't be rude, it's not that I'm lazy, look at the tree, it's just like when the seedlings grew. It could happen at any time and I don't want to miss it. Maybe this is the opportunity I've been waiting for"
"Grrr"
"Besides, look at it as an investment, when I am a famous magician scientist and the world knows my magnificent feats, you will be the one who once when I was starting my research, fed me. It will be a story that your descendants will pass down from generation to generation as a symbol of pride. You should be grateful, not just anyone would be given this opportunity"
"Guyar"
"Those are small details that are unnecessary to comment on. Yes, it is your blood, but when have you ever seen a scientist work without materials? Besides, that would only serve to further exalt the name of the ruler of the dragon race. Think about it 'wise and powerful', doesn't that seem like a good slogan?"
"Guyar?"
When have I cheated on you? I'm not lying to you, you'll soon see that it's totally worth it and you'd better make up your mind before I look for a goa-"
Crack*
whosh*
"...."
"...."
"HAHAHAHA see? I told you, it will be worth it"
