Chapter 721: Dragon Blood Sacrifice
King Taling recounted the same number.
Victor heard it right, he just couldn't believe that a piece of ancient strange crystal was valued at more than 47 million gold soles by Taling.
What is this concept?
Centaur Hill proposed a plan to exchange gold coins for rock bricks, and collected 20 million gold soles from the royal family. No king could come up with so much gold at once, they cleaned their coffers and had to consult with the lords to raise 20 million gold soles worth of currency. Because in addition to the wealthy Neville Kingdom, other royal families and royal families also had to reserve some gold coins to maintain the credit of the purple gold coins, and they could only take out a considerable amount of silver and copper coins to deliver to Centaur Hills.
The agreement set a one-year deadline for the delivery of the gold coins, but almost all of the royal families privately asked Victor for some more time, and the 23 million gold coins brought by King Neville would require more than a hundred wagons to load, and if they were all poured, they would form a small mountain.
There are about 120 million gold, silver, and copper coins worth of gold to be transported to the Centaur Hills, and according to the Randall family's share in the Two-Headed Dragon Chamber of Commerce, 24 million gold coins can be distributed, but Victor is not ready to distribute this money again, he plans to make overall arrangements, use them centrally, and only distribute some dividends to the lords of the Centaur Hills every year.
The strange crystal seized from the dragon vein kobold is valued at nearly 48 million gold soles, which is 18 million more than the money Victor got from selling rock bricks!
Victor remembers very well that he had a similar strange crystal, from the remains of the Alchemy Tower in the Mist Mountains, which the king valued at zero. And the difference between the two is this drop of blood in the middle - ancient dragon blood!
More than 10,000 years ago, the dragons disappeared from the human realm, and the mighty dragons have only existed in the poetic stories passed down by the bards. As for the ancient dragon, Victor knew nothing, but the ancient dragon's blood must be extraordinary.
If this strange crystal that seals the blood of an ancient dragon can be exchanged for a mountain of gold, Victor may have to weigh whether it should be exchanged. To be honest, pure gold doesn't mean much to him anymore, not to mention that with the wealth harvesting mechanism he has established, the Alchemy Tower can obtain resources endlessly.
Therefore, it is imperative to find out the actual function of the ancient dragon blood first, rather than sacrifice it to some unknown existence through the Alchemy Tower!
Victor has been playing with the Strange Crystal for some time, and has never found a way to open the Strange Crystal, maybe Sylvia can use the Void Water Element to forcibly destroy the crystal, but who knows what will happen to the ancient dragon blood that loses the crystal seal?
If you want to understand the role of ancient dragon blood, you must first start with the tower spirit of the No. 7 Alchemy Pagoda. Although the king could not lie to his master, he had a history of deceiving Victor, taking advantage of the conditions of information asymmetry to deliberately conceal key information and thus mislead the tower owner's decision-making.
Victor hitched to understand why the king did this. As a living being, the Alchemy Tower instinctively pursues perfection, and King Taling has repeatedly asked Victor to increase the level authority of the Alchemy Tower step by step. But the more it did this, the more Victor didn't want to satisfy it.
"What else does the ancient dragon's blood do for the Alchemy Tower?" asked Victor as he retrieved the Strange Crystal from the altar and deliberated.
Without hesitation, the king replied, "Ancient dragon blood can complete the biological information of the dragon warrior and activate the dragon warrior's production function. ”
"What?!, you bastard...... I don't even bother to scold you!" The unimaginably huge surprise made His Highness Randall's mind confused, and he shouted in his consciousness a little incoherently.
Dragon Warrior, a high-level alchemy combat unit, has 20 Physique, 30 Spirit, 20 Perception, and 5 Health in Human Form, 35 Physique, 30 Spirit, 25 Perception, and 5 Health in Half-Dragon Form, and 42 Physique, 30 Spirit, 18 Perception, and 5 Health in Dragon Form.
Priced at 150,000 gold soles, the Dragon Warrior has a lifespan of 20 years, can be loaded with 6 skills, and has extraordinary talents such as lightning reflexes, dynamic vision, elemental resistance, dragon fury, dragon breath spitting, and transformation, and is immune to negative effects such as toxins, soul oppression, curses, and elemental stagnation.
As a humanoid alchemy unit, the Dragon Warrior also has the ability to learn.
A few years ago, Victor took great pains to obtain a broken rune crystal from the dark forest southeast of Gombis, which was used to repair the function of Alchemy Tower 7 to produce alchemical dragon lizards, and King Taling also obtained information about the dragon warriors.
At that time, Victor was so poor that he jingled, and the dragon warrior could only be seen but not built, so he complained sourly, the cost performance of the dragon warrior was super low, and it was not worth 150,000 gold soles.
Today is different from the past, the Randall family is already rich, and Victor lacks high-end alchemy creatures in his hands. At present, the strongest alchemy soldiers in Alchemy Tower 7 belong to cannon fodder-level combat units, and they cannot effectively intervene in the battle of His Highness Randall. For example, when Victor dealt with the Elder Bear, the Manticore, and the Centaur Great Khan, the alchemy soldiers didn't play much role, and they didn't even have the speed to catch up with Victor, let alone protect the Fury Sword Saint in battle.
The Dragon Warrior is by no means the cannon fodder unit of the Alchemy Tower, and King Taling has devoted a long list of information to describing it, but Victor now measures the strength of a creature only by the mental power in its basic attributes. If the life level is divided by spiritual attributes, then 16 to 24 points is the silver level, 25 points to 29 points is the gold level, and the spiritual attributes above 30 points are stepping into the legendary realm.
Of course, this method of division has formal limitations and cannot fully represent the level of individual combat effectiveness. Just like Wizard Emerson is usually an ordinary person, performing witchcraft to improve his spiritual attributes, using the highest level of wisdom to guide witchcraft, Victor estimates that his spiritual power has exceeded 30 points, reaching the legendary level. As a result, his remote-controlled two-headed dragon lizard, Itugos, could sweep through hundreds of alchemy creatures, including several alchemy dragon lizards. Unfortunately, Emerson himself was still too weak and was knocked unconscious by the alchemy militia, and the battle was over.
Giant creatures have different elemental attributes than medium creatures, and wizards have different mental attributes from warriors.
The Dragon Warrior's mental strength is stable at 30 points, and it is undoubtedly a legendary-level alchemy creature.
The higher the spiritual attribute, the deeper the control over oneself, with the size of a human being, the spiritual attribute exceeds 20 points and automatically ignites the fire of the heart. Victor wants to create an alchemy militia with 20 spiritual attributes, which costs more than 100,000 gold soles. The cost of the dragon warrior is 150,000 yuan, and the spirit is 30 points, how can its cost performance be poor?
Sure enough, after being rich, the standard of cost performance is also different.
Moreover, the dragon warrior can change his voice into a half-dragon form and a dragon beast form, and his own elemental attributes have greatly increased, and he has obtained an extraordinarily powerful extraordinary talent. Although the half-dragon form can breathe dragon breath and use dragon fury, it still retains its human form. The dragon beast form is different, the dragon warrior transforms into a large dragon beast more than 7 meters long and 2.6 meters high, and its power is not much worse than that of a real dragon.
How can a human being weighing more than two hundred pounds become a large creature weighing several thousand pounds?
The only explanation is that the dragon warrior used the void element to condense the dragon beast body. In other words, it has an elementalized supernatural ability that is difficult to destroy violently, and it can transform even if it is hit hard under normal conditions, and restore its strongest combat form.
Although the transformation of the drake beast is irreversible, it may be difficult for Victor to clean it up. Conversely, with drakes acting as meat shields, Victor can even take on giant legendary creatures like the Hydra lizard head-on.
Victor turned on the X-3, took in his thoughts, and asked calmly, "Ancient dragon blood is not a rune crystal, why can it repair the production function of dragon warriors?"
"It's not a fix, it's an addition. The king replied, "Honorable lord, do you remember that after the rune crystals of the Mist Mountains were fused by me, the alchemy tower had an extra useless function?"
The rune crystal retrieved by Victor from the misty mountains of the Neville Kingdom completes the three functions of the No. 7 Alchemy Tower, one is the upload of the memory of the alchemy creatures, the second is the elemental adjustment of the alchemy creatures, as for the third function, it cannot be regarded as a function, after the No. 7 Alchemy Tower fuses the rune crystal, there are inexplicably hundreds of more creature templates, and they are all strange life forms, what is half a deer and half human, a person with cat ears and a cat tail, a person with insect wings on his back, etc., what they have in common is that whether male or female are beautiful or beautiful, or cute, Or enchanting, it can't be produced yet, like a database of biological templates.
At first, Victor thought that the alchemy tower of the mist was experimental, and that the alchemist was trying to break the laws of reality and create a new kind of alchemy creatures, and then maliciously speculated that the alchemist also wanted to satisfy the selfish desires of some mages and magnates, and designed many alternative creature templates, but those creatures could not be made at all. He is purely trying to deceive the mages out of their resources, and he is secretly tinkering with his own things.
Victor has a certain basis for this idea, the alchemy creatures he knows are all based on natural creatures, such as the Savi warrior and the sheep's head monster are almost identical, the alchemy mastiff is like a ferocious wolf, but Ant-Man is a strange shape, they fit the new type of alchemy creature template.
Now it seems that the Alchemy Creature Template Database is not a useless feature, and it combines the bloodline information contained in the ancient dragon's blood to add a new unit to Alchemy Tower 7 - the Dragon Warrior.
"Show me the creature template for the Dragon Warrior. Victor pondered for a moment and ordered.
Taling sends Victor images of a male and a female, the male with a bronze complexion and a tall and athletic body, and the female with fair skin and a plump and graceful body, both of them are beautiful humanoids, but they are certainly not pure humans, as they have vertical pupils and a pair of white horns that bend forward under their hair.
"This isn't a human template for the Dragon Warrior! Are you sure the new unit is the Dragon Warrior?" asked Victor, furrowing his eyebrows and a heavy expression.
"The information I got was Dragon Warrior. Taling replied, "But I'm not sure if the dragon warriors of the subhuman template will be mutated. My lord, Alchemy Tower 7 itself does not have this function, I mean adding new units. ”
After thinking for a moment, Victor said, "However, the Alchemy Pagoda of the Mist Mountains obviously has this function...... The No. 7 Alchemy Tower has absorbed rune crystals from the Mist Mountains, and it is no longer the original No. 7 Alchemy Tower. ”
He paused, and then commanded, "King, regarding the ancient dragon's blood, you have a suggestion for my reference. ”
The king said in a calm tone, "My lord, I must warn you that the changes brought about by the new units are unknown, and I am afraid that the Alchemy Tower will be damaged because of this, so I suggest that you sacrifice the ancient dragon's blood in exchange for resources...... Or, you can temporarily save the ancient dragon blood, collect rune crystals first, increase the level authority of the No. 7 Alchemy Tower, learn more about the Alchemy Empire, and then consider the No. 7 Alchemy Tower to fuse the ancient dragon blood...... The last option is to fuse the ancient dragon's blood directly and add an undetermined new unit to the No. 7 Alchemy Tower. It doesn't have to be the dragon warrior I know, maybe stronger, maybe weaker. ”
These are my three pieces of advice. ”
Victor was silent, and the corners of his mouth gradually outlined an inexplicable smile, and said, "You deliberately used more than 47 million gold soles to induce me to sacrifice ancient dragon blood before, and now you are scaring me with uncertain risks...... If the Alchemy Tower reserves tens of millions of gold sol resources, and I can't use them up, I will inevitably want to get new features, which will require you to continue to collect rune crystals and increase your level authority...... From another point of view, the uncertain dragon warrior may be weaker than expected, and it is not worth spending more than 47 million gold soles, it is better to increase the level authority of the alchemy tower first, and then choose to fuse or sacrifice ......"
"King, you are afraid of dying out and pursuing a perfect form, I can understand it as the instinct given to the tower spirit by the will side, but I don't think that by increasing the level authority of the Alchemy Tower, you can obtain the functional information of the experimental nature, if I don't get the relevant information, what should I do with this strange crystal that seals the blood of the ancient dragon?"
"To whom?"
Victor swept the strange crystal in his hand and threw it towards the alchemy tower altar, his dark golden eyes shining with a strange streamer, "I'm going to use it to test a conjecture with the No. 7 Alchemy Pagoda - since I activated the No. 7 Alchemy Tower, the great alchemists of the Alchemy Empire have already prepared everything, and the extraordinary attraction law brings about the convergence of fate...... It won't damage the Alchemy Tower, at least not let it die out completely. ”
"I choose fusion!"
"As you wish, my honorable master. ”
The quaint stone altar immediately cracked, and the strange crystal that sealed the dragon's blood was pulled by the alchemy tower rune crystal, hanging in the air like the stone next to it, and the tiny runes inside bloomed, and gradually rainbow into a light mist that was continuously absorbed by the alchemy tower rune crystal.
The fusion process lasted more than 2 hours, and when everything was calm again, the king's voice sounded in Victor's head, "The ancient dragon blood has been successfully fused, and a new alchemy combat unit has been added to the production function...... Ask the owner to name it. ”
