Chapter 342: Skinning and Boning: The Dragon Crown, the Head of the Gods
An invisible aura that no one could see swept across Tayapan in an instant.
Like countless experienced auditors, all the possessions owned by the city-state were registered, condensed into a huge golden treasure chest and appeared in front of Byron.
From a single animal bone needle to a twelve-story pyramid, to the number one crystal skull and the ownership of the god Itsumner himself.
Syllable!
The treasure chest automatically opened, and three brilliant fishing hooks appeared, one purple, one golden, and one red.
Seeing them, Byron immediately realized that this was the level of treasure he could extract from Tayapan.
Among the three grades, the purple level is the highest, and the red level is the lowest, and the overall value adds up to about the same as the stock price that you are about to "liquidate".
"One of my greatest contributions to the city-state was the life-saving vaccine that was given to them when the smallpox plague was raging, which can be converted into an investment.
Although they paid me a 'monopoly to operate', it was not worth the lives of 70% of the city's population.
At that time, I wanted to prioritize the preservation of this huge ethnic group of 13 million people, contain the advance of Castile, and then slowly plan the benefits, so I offered a friendship price.
Moreover, in the actual implementation of the 'monopoly management right', there were many obstructions from the top of the Tayapan, and only a few nobles joined the trade system.
That's where all the spillovers are. β
Come to think of it, even if it is a red fishing hook that is used as a backing, the value should not be much lower.
But it takes a bit of luck to draw something in the same level.
Byron rubbed his hands and was about to draw a lottery, but suddenly thought of his "African" attribute that had been ingrained in him since he was a child.
As long as it is a game of luck, there is a high probability that it will usher in a fiasco, and I can't help but hesitate all of a sudden.
Others don't know that in addition to his black heart and black hands, his face has always been dark.
In the past, whenever this kind of luck was encountered, it was usually made by the elder sister Catherine, the European emperor who could pick up money casually when he went out.
However, although Catherine is not there now, Violet should look white enough.
"Miss, do me a favor"
After a little explanation, Byron gave way to his place.
The girl stepped forward and hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the red hook with the lowest value and threw it towards the city.
"Collapse" seems to have a tense sound of fishing line.
The next moment, the hook was instantly withdrawn, and before the two of them could see what they had caught.
"Whewββ!"
A terrible scream suddenly came from the battlefield in the center of the city-state.
But just now, the demon dragon who was still besieging the rain of bullets and a group of third-order transcendents and guardian spirits, and still had great power all the way, suddenly covered his chest and staggered back.
Every time he took a step back, the aura on his body weakened by one point, and his body shrank by a circle.
In just a few breaths, the body size has shrunk by at least a quarter, and the strength of a majestic and domineering body has also shrunk by a quarter accordingly.
Speed, strength, and defense have all decreased, and the breath of the five dragon heads has been scattered a lot.
Eventually, even the dragon's body began to degrade considerably, closer to the bloated wurmmon.
The pressure on the indigenous coalition forces has dropped dramatically, and the counteroffensive has become more ferocious.
"Look at the red light just now? My prayer has been revealed, and this must be the power of the Father of Medicine! β
"The Father of Healing, who saved the entire Tylen race, is the righteous God.
When he returns to the throne after his death, I will bow down every day, so that his head will become the fourteenth crystal skull of the Taya people as soon as possible. β
"The magic dragon is no good, kill it with me!"
Under the leadership of [Conqueror] Cortez, nearly twenty third-order beast spirit warriors who had turned into beast forms from various city-states participating in the battle immediately swarmed up.
Finally, the demon dragon really began to hang colors, penetrating the scale armor, hurting the flesh and skin, and dripping with blood all over his body.
Byron looked down and saw that Violet was holding a red ball of light in both hands, and a cloud of colorful liquid was suspended in it.
The girl's pair of cute big sapphire eyes couldn't help but be round:
"Is this the dragon's blood in its body?"
And it is also the five-colored dragon blood that has been purified by the incarnation of the [Heavenly God].
Even if it is still not as good as a real dragon, it is already precious in this era when real dragons have long been extinct.
In the forbidden rituals of any Order, it must be a first-class transcendent material.
And the sweet bloody breath also made Byron want to move, no, it was the index finger that moved.
The Daredevil's instinct let him know that if he could take a sip, it would definitely be a good supplement.
Not only is it beneficial to the improvement of the power of the Night Demon, but even relying on the benefits brought by the [Infinite Evolutionary], the blue dragon veins in the body can be greatly increased, and it is also on the path of atavism.
But now is not the time.
Suppressing the appetite churning in his heart, Byron nodded to Violet:
"Put it away first, and when I go back, I will take this dragon blood and engrave the fifth spell mark for you, and I will drink the rest."
"Okay."
followed Byron out on a trip, and the promotion ceremony of "Deep Sea Origin" was advanced to five-sixths, and the girl suddenly bent her eyebrows and smiled like a little fox.
On the other hand, the magic dragon, at the critical juncture of the war, was deeply stripped of the "core assets" related to the upper limit of strength and used to pay off debts, which is a hundred times more cruel than the capital market!
was suddenly withdrawn by a major shareholder, and came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary, even if he could have won at the moment, he was doomed to failure.
It can be said that the holy relic of [First Stock] is a perfect match for Byron, the "No. 1 henchman of Tianzi" and "Erwuzai Professional Household".
As long as you pay, you will be rewarded, and no one wants him to work for a day.
Even the PUA Dafa of "do a good job, my brother will marry you a sister-in-law next year" definitely don't want to fall on Byron's head.
Even if there is a day when the eldest brother marries his sister-in-law, it is not certain who this beautiful sister-in-law will be in the end.
"One more time."
With the successful experience of the first draw, the two of them were even more excited.
Violet also rubbed her hands solemnly and prayed to the "God of Wild Hunting" Worden before throwing out the golden fishing hook again.
"Collapse!" Again, the line is retracted.
However, this time, the demon dragon on the opposite side did not change too significantly.
It's just that when it comes to breath or other dragon sorcery, it seems to be much sluggish, and it always takes a while to stop and think about it, and then it takes a while to cast some kind of suitable sorcery under instinctive control.
The breath has also become a little ineffective, and there is an awkward feeling everywhere in the body.
"What's going on?"
Byron was stunned, and Violet had already pierced the golden ball of light in her hand, releasing a dragon-shaped aura with hundreds of heads.
Byron stretched out his hand and touched it lightly, and the dragon-shaped aura turned into a forbidden book and fell into his heart.
"Bipedal Wyvern Cultivation Method", "Purgatory Dragon Cultivation Method", "Crypt Rock Dragon Cultivation Method", "Colorful Dragon Lizard Cultivation Method"
This turned out to be the core part of the "Dragon Crown" in the Book of the Hundred Beasts (Volume I) of the Black Witchcraft practiced by the [Celestial God] Itsumner?
And it is also the closest to the source of knowledge, the most complete original version, which can go directly to the [Bloodline Original Text] of mythical creatures and even the divine domain! β
The ladder of glory is the development of the times, and the further you go, the stronger your ability; Forbidden knowledge, on the other hand, is the older it is, the closer it is to the source of knowledge, the stronger it is.
Although Byron's knowledge does not carry the corresponding power like the cards of the [Pawn Merchant], it is also one of the most powerful dark witchcraft texts in the entire Bantaan Islands.
A glance at the contents of the record was roughly swept through, and sure enough, it was just like what [Piercing Gong] Cepes said when his blood was sublimated:
"At the top of the food chain of the human kingdom is a feast for dragons and night demons."
Both the dragon's promotion ceremony and the night demon's ritual have the status of "rentier, exploiter, and bloodthirsty", and the higher the status of the human being, the purer the bloodline in the dragon vein.
Otherwise, you are not eligible to become a dragon.
"Look at the sluggish appearance of the demon dragon, fighting more and more like a crude beast, as if only the essence of a mythical creature remains, but this knowledge has been forgotten?
It turns out that this kind of extraction of knowledge categories is not copy-paste, but cut-and-paste?
The protection of intellectual property rights is so strong that I have taken away this part of the technology, and they themselves can no longer use it?
This is simply the magic skill of all intellectual property owners! β
While feeling emotional, Byron has also found the most suitable owner for this forbidden book called "Dragon Crown".
"The Book of Hundred Beast Clans" (Volume I) is all about the forbidden knowledge of using various beast souls to complete the transformation of the essence of life.
A specific powerful beast soul + corresponding knowledge is equal to [a certain beast spirit warrior], and both are indispensable.
The Leopard Spirit Warrior, the Tiger Warrior, the Frog Warrior, and the Dragon Lizard Warrior are all products of this knowledge system.
The Dragon Crown also contains many dark sorcery paths that are far more powerful than the Colorful Dragon Lizard, and even true Dragon Warriors are not without them.
However, it is precisely because the colorful dragon lizards in the Bantaan Islands are easier to obtain and can also be artificially cultivated that it has led to the prosperity of the [Dragon Lizard Samurai].
In other words, although knowledge is precious, high-quality beast soul resources are even more rare.
If there is no corresponding powerful dragon soul, this "Dragon Crown" is a standard dragon slaying technique.
And the best dragon species in the natives, the multicolored dragon lizard, is even inferior to Byron's own night demon path, which also greatly reduces the value of the book.
But who made the title effect of my sister Catherine [Mithril Dragon] called [Mithril Dragon Soul]?
A genuine Mithril Dragon Soul entered her body along with the title.
If nothing else, in the future, when Catherine's life ends, that Mithril Dragon Soul will also be recycled by the collective subconscious sea.
But now it's different.
With the help of the forbidden book "Dragon Crown", Catherine can completely take possession of the "Mithril Dragon Soul" that comes with the title forever!
Let her complete her dream transformation from a human to a true Mithril dragon from the depths of her bloodline.
"It's no longer a hard Mithril Dragon to ride, but a fragrant, soft Mithril Dragon Niang, which is a little bit of a little anticipation when you think about it."
A certain "dragon knight" who was determined to turn against Tiangang suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at the treasure chest again.
At this point, there is one of the most valuable purple hooks left unused.
The first two extractions had already made Byron very satisfied, and the dragon's blood and the forbidden book had made him, Violet, and his sister all gain a lot.
On the other hand, the demon dragon, which had been weakened twice in a row, was now fighting back like a trapped beast and becoming more and more powerless.
It's just that now all the transcendents in the entire city-state have merged with the incarnation of the [Celestial God] It-Sumna, and they have also concentrated the most valuable wealth in the entire city-state.
It's not that they want to catch a dragon, the point is that there is no place to catch it.
Byron stood in the air and looked condescendingly at the demon dragon that was under siege, roaring angrily, and whispered comfort:
"Although you already look miserable, don't scream yet, and you can shout together when we smoke again."
Nodding to Violet, who immediately flung the last of the purple hooks out.
"Collapse!" Another taut trilling sound of fishing line.
"Whewββ!"
In the terrible roar of the demon dragon, the dragon horns, dragon teeth, dragon scales, and dragon wings belonging to the giant dragon on the body quickly degenerated and disappeared.
Only the characteristics of ordinary lizards and humans remain.
The two of them couldn't help but be stunned when they saw this scene, and they couldn't understand what was going on in this scene of skinning, boning, and cramping.
Look at the formless but heavy ball of light in Violet's hand.
The aura flowed, gradually condensing into the appearance of a golden god crown.
It was actually the supreme personality of the spirit of nature, the Lord of the Heavenly Kingdom, and the god of the Celestial God, Itsumna, among the patron saints of the Taya civilization - [Head of the Gods]!
