A Quest for Characters

Get 17 [<s>202498] for [111234|Cider].

As expected, since they were recovered much later, the scrolls you have returned with have many unrecognizable characters on them. However, some areas on them are particularly clear. Why is that?
This dark brown mark......why does it make the characters so distinct? And it smells like iron...could it be blood?

Use blood to make the characters appear? That seems quite risky. But right now, that's the only method left to attempt. I can't think of any other means at the moment!

If you want to use blood to make the characters more distinct, I think that dragon blood would be the most abundant and the most suitable. Please, go get 17 [<s>202498] so I can finally read these characters!

Okay, come look at this! Quickly!
