Chapter 667: Processing Materials, Dragon Heart Potion

However, Xia Duo still controlled the Flying Sword to go up and help; after all, watching his teammate fight a dragon in single combat was not his style, and doing so would also create variables. Eliminating the target as quickly as possible was the correct approach.

It was also fortunate that there were only two dragons this time. If it were a group of dragons like the ones Buloutuo had experienced, even if Xia Duo took the initiative to attack, it would basically be equivalent to suicide.

After all, the Savile Territory could not find that many meat shields capable of going head-to-head with a dragon. This not only required equipment and skills, but more importantly, the ability to withstand Dragon Fear. Otherwise, no matter how strong the meat shield was, if they couldn't move, they were just a piece of fat meat.

If the front row couldn't stand firm, how could the back row deal damage!

The best outcome would be for Xia Duo to keep kiting, but the territory would not kite along with him. If the dragon flew toward the territory, Xia Duo would have no way to stop it.

While attacking, Xia Duo thought that one must either possess highly efficient means of slaughter or possess significant means of control. Otherwise, facing a group of dragons, even if they lacked Wisdom, would still be a major problem.

Or perhaps seek a method to resist Dragon Fear; if that were feasible, perhaps everything would no longer be a problem.

"Thump—Crackle—"

Buloutuo once again threw the hammer that had flown back into his hand. This time, the hammer hit the dragon's head, instantly stunning it. Combined with Xia Duo's Flying Sword continuously piercing the dragon's neck, the movements of this green dragon became increasingly sluggish.

Before long, this guy couldn't even unleash its breath attack before its neck bone was shattered, and it crashed to the ground with a boom.

It wasn't until the moment the green dragon fell that Buloutuo suddenly threw away the shield and hammer in his hands, sat down on the ground with a thud, and panted heavily.

This battle did not last long. The flight state on Xia Duo's body still existed. He flew to Buloutuo's side, tossed over a bottle of distilled liquor with a moderate alcohol content, and asked:

"What should we do now? We can't just leave these two big guys here! Uncle Buloutuo, do you have any suggestions?"

When the three of them discussed the dragon-slaying matter earlier, they had mentioned that dragon scales could be used to make dragon scale armor. Although it might not be stronger than Adamantine armor, it had the advantage of being lightweight, so even a Mage wearing it would have no burden.

Xia Duo had taken it to heart at the time, and asking now was just a reminder; of course, it also carried a bit of a request, as Xia Duo himself didn't know how to craft dragon scale armor.

In fact, he didn't even know how to process these two dragon corpses.

The truth was that Netheril had never encountered a Dragon Disaster before. In the eyes of the Netherese, dragons had always been a legendary creature, and there were almost no records of them even among Mages.

Without the opportunity for practice, experience was naturally out of the question.

Hearing Xia Duo's words, Buloutuo's action of drinking paused, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the liquor, so he gulped it down again before saying, "Don't worry, I'll handle it. But the liquor can't be lacking; this bottle isn't strong enough, I want something stronger!"

"No problem!"

As the two were talking, Bishop Anbulier also flew over. At this time, he was no longer covered in dust, clearly having tidied himself up a bit before coming over. As soon as he arrived, he asked the two, "Lord Xia Duo, Master Buloutuo, how do you plan to handle these two dragon corpses?"

Xia Duo didn't speak, but Buloutuo spoke first, "Don't think of me as too capable. I can only process the dragon scales and dragon skin; as for the other parts, I cannot process them. Besides, I only heard that the Elves can turn a dragon's heart into a special potion, but I don't know how to utilize the other parts of the dragon."

"Special potion? What's special about it?" Xia Duo asked immediately.

He was very curious. Buloutuo hadn't mentioned this before, and what kind of effect would a potion that required a dragon's heart as a raw material have?

Could it be for creating so-called Dragon Blood Sorcerers?

However, Buloutuo's answer didn't mention that, but instead said, "That special potion is said to allow the user to gain health, Youth, and longevity!"

This answer made Xia Duo feel somewhat surprised, but it was also within reason.

Elves were very proud of the bloodline they possessed. They looked down on Half-Elves, and even within the Elves, they were divided into different groups like Gold Elves and Moon Elves, looking down on each other. How would such Elves be willing to let dragon blood contaminate their own bloodline?

After resting for a while, Buloutuo stood up. While chatting with Xia Duo and Bishop Anbulier about topics related to dragons, he also began to process the dragon corpse.

"Even if these dragon scales are pulled off, if they aren't specially processed, they will quickly become hard and brittle, losing their practical value. Using such dragon scales to craft equipment is not as good as ordinary Adamantine equipment!"

"As for the dragon skin, it is relatively simple to process. Even if not processed, it possesses a fairly high level of Protection. I know you are a Mage, Xia Duo, but the manufacturing process for Dragon Skin Scrolls has always been in the hands of the Elves, and I am powerless in this regard."

Mentioning Dragon Skin Scrolls, Xia Duo immediately thought of the two treasures he had just received from Aoruipusi as his "share of the ship ticket revenue" before slaying the dragon.

One of them was a Spell Mizhuan made of dragon skin, which recorded a spell called 【Chain Lightning】. Of course, if it were only used to record spell information, this Dragon Skin Scroll wouldn't count as a treasure.

Its true value lay in the ability to be activated for use, possessing powerful deterrent force.

Dragon skin could be used to make Advanced Magic Scrolls, and naturally, it could also be used to make a Spellbook. It just so happened that Xia Duo hadn't started making his Spellbook yet!

If he could use dragon skin as a raw material, that would also be quite good.

But Buloutuo could only process dragon skin into materials for protective equipment, not materials related to spells, which made Xia Duo feel quite regretful.

However, Xia Duo did not superstitiously believe in the saying of rare treasures and special materials. He believed that the best materials were all man-made; if they weren't, it was only because the technology wasn't sufficient.

Having a Dragon Skin Scroll was naturally good, but if not, there was no need to be overly insistent.

Xia Duo, who understood the essence of Magic, naturally understood that the reason a spell was powerful was because of the spell itself, not the carrier material. This was just like the people in Xia Duo's hometown; they bought mobile phones for the various functions inside, not for the phone itself as a carrier of functions.

It was the function that gave the mobile phone meaning; by the same token, it was the spell that gave the carrier material meaning.

If dragon skin truly possessed a Special Function, then researching it and understanding the Principles behind it was the correct approach, rather than blindly chasing the material itself.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Duo said to Buloutuo, "Uncle Buloutuo, leave me some dragon skin scraps that don't need processing."

He prepared to use these raw dragon skin scraps as research materials. As for the majority of the dragon skin that had been simply processed and could be used to make equipment, it would either be made into equipment or directly collected, and he would see if there was a possibility for further deep processing later.

Buloutuo responded and continued to busy himself.

A moment later, a small mountain of dragon scales had piled up beside the green dragon corpse, and Buloutuo's work continued. He inserted a sharp Adamantine Skinning Knife into the thick dragon skin and began the somewhat unfamiliar skinning work.
