This useless association was quickly stopped by Salin. He began to examine the dragon skeleton.
The dragon skeleton was very complete. None of the six dragon claws were damaged. The five claws were shining with a cold light. It looked like a refined magic weapon. In fact, the dragon claws were very sharp. But structurally speaking, Salin would have to cut off the six legs and replace them with propellers or something like propellers if he wanted to make a dragon skeleton warship.
Although a warship made of dragon skeleton couldn't fight like a puppet, it was sturdier than the Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship. The Coiled Turtle was a level-eight creature. Even if its shell was sturdier than a level-nine magical beast, it still couldn't compare to the bones of a pure-blooded dragon. The dragon skeleton hadn't been corroded after being submerged in the sea for ten thousand years. Instead, it had become even sturdier.
If it was made into armor, it would be enough to arm a flag regiment! Salin thought, but he didn't plan to do so. Even if he had a flag regiment of warriors wearing dragon skeleton armor, they wouldn't be able to resist the Blood Knights of the Vatican. A thousand versus tens of thousands? Apart from the slight advantage of equipment, he was still inferior in terms of combat power.
But if it was made into a warship, it would be different. He could draw any magic formation on the warship and use magic cores to drive it. Its speed would also be faster than any other ship. If he could install small magic cannons on the warship, he would only need to stay where he was and fire at the enemy.
Normal stone cannons couldn't destroy the dragon skeleton, but his magic cannons could easily destroy all kinds of warships. Unfortunately, if the small magic cannons were installed on the dragon skeleton, it would greatly damage the sturdiness of the dragon skeleton. Once the cannons were fired, his warship would also be damaged. If the magic cannons were fired too many times, the warship might even fall apart.
Unfortunately, the warships of the Second Dynasty didn't have the relevant magic formation. He didn't know how to install the magic cannons on the warship. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to be afraid of the Vatican. Even if he couldn't win, the Vatican wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Salin kept scanning the structure of the dragon skeleton. He already had a certain degree of confidence. Without the dragon claws, the bone wings contained the power of the wind element. When spread, the warship made from dragon skeleton could glide on the water. Although it couldn't really fly, its speed couldn't be compared to any other ship.
Without the resistance of the water, this kind of gliding could reach an astonishing speed. The only problem was energy consumption. No matter how much energy the dragon wings could conserve, it was not something he could afford to drive such a large ship out of the water.
It seemed like he could only wait for Rex to come back and see if he could get any useful magic arrays from the blueprint of the Sky Castle.
"Master, look!" Nelis reached out and pulled out a shell from the dragon skeleton.
"Alive?"
"Yeah," Neris said as she opened her mouth to bite the shell in her hand. With a crack, the shell cracked, but Neris frowned, feeling pain in her teeth. This was the first time she had encountered something that was hard to bite into. Even if it was a magic core, Nelis could easily cut it open with her teeth. This black and swarthy shell was only twice the size of a palm, but it was actually so hard!
Neris didn't want to be angry with a shell. She used a dagger to pry the shell open. A dense water elemental aura spread out, and a ball of green light floated in Nelis's hand.
This parasitic shell on the dragon skeleton was actually a treasure! Salin's eyes were sharp. He saw a round pearl in the shell, and all the water elemental aura came from this pearl.
Salin looked at the dragon skeleton, and saw that it was densely covered with these inconspicuous shells. No wonder the sword spirit was still there, but the spiritual energy in the dragon skeleton had dissipated. It turned out that it was absorbed by these parasitic creatures.
The shell in Nelis's hand moved a few times, trying to use the shell to clamp Nelis's hand. Nelis stabbed in with the dagger, cut the tendon in the shell, and picked out the pearl at the same time.
Salin's eyes lit up. This was something even better than a magic core! With this pearl, even if he didn't have a dragon crystal, he could still speed up his cultivation. The water elemental power contained in the pearl was much purer than that in the magic core.
"Do it, Nelis. Pry all the shells out." Salin played with the pearl, and with an idea, he put the pearl directly into the gourd at his waist. This time, Salin was relieved. Although this pearl was good, it was troublesome to keep it. It didn't have a stable state like a magic core. If it was just casually put away, the water elemental contained in it would unknowingly disappear. Although it could be replenished later, it wouldn't have the attributes of a magic core, and could only be used as an item for embedding equipment.
Salin's gourd, on the other hand, had a space that could maintain the stability of water elemental. This pearl could be put into the gourd, and Salin would no longer need the help of any dragon crystal in future battles. Anyway, he could only use water magic. With this pearl, he could mobilize the power in it at any time. What if he refined a magic circle on the pearl? Salin felt a little smug for a moment. Fortunately, he was envious of the alchemy ship's spaceship, otherwise, why would he take the risk to collect the dragon skeleton?
After hearing Salin's words, Nelis immediately started to collect the parasitic shells on the dragon skeleton. She put the shells directly into the dimensional stone. There were too many parasitic shells on the dragon skeleton, and she didn't have the energy to pry them open one by one and take the pearls.
"Salin, you've made a fortune again!" Ainphent looked at the pearl, and his eyes were also red. However, he didn't do anything for the dragon skeleton, so it wasn't good for him to ask Salin for it.
Salin looked at the densely packed parasitic shells inside the dragon skeleton, smiled, and said, "Ainphent, although this pearl is precious, you can't use it yet. It's of great use to me. However, you can refine this shell into a set of undead armor. Its defense in water is amazing. "
After hearing Salin's words, Ainphent went forward to take a shell, and then released a bone spur. With a crack, the bone spur broke, and the shell was intact.
"This! I'll take it. " Ainphent was overjoyed. A necromancer's defense was not as good as an elementalist's. Undead armor was a good way to make up for this flaw, but undead materials were too precious and difficult to obtain. Unless he went to the Undead Plane to think of a way, the three Lords might have some suitable materials on hand. However, Salin and Ainphent both knew that it wasn't a good idea to force the three Lords. Their contract was built on a balance foundation. As long as they didn't violate the terms of the contract, the three Lords couldn't do anything. However, if they accidentally broke the balance of the contract, the two of them would have to face the fierce revenge of the three Lords once the contract became invalid.
This shell was so hard that after turning it into an undead, Ainphent could refine a set of strange armor. This armor would be made up of hundreds of shells. It could be dispersed to attack the enemy, or gathered together to protect Ainphent.
Although there were a lot of shells, they were also very precious. Because it was unlikely that there would be such a coincidence to find the remains of an ancient dragon in a place where these parasitic shells could evolve and absorb the spiritual energy in the dragon's skeleton.
Salin saw that Ainphent stopped after collecting the shells for a while, so he said behind Ainphent, "Take 360. After you advance to Magic Shooter, you can control this many undead."
Ainphent didn't refuse. He was too embarrassed to take too many. He knew better than anyone how precious these things were. However, he would be unreasonable if he refused Salin's offer.
After cleaning up the dragon's skeleton, Nelis reached into the dragon's head and felt around for a while. She said disappointedly, "The dragon crystal is gone."
"Of course it's gone. Once this dragon dies, the dragon crystal will definitely be absorbed by the powerful magic beasts nearby." Salin didn't plan to find the dragon crystal in the dragon's skeleton. He was already satisfied with so many strange shells.
Not only did this dragon's skeleton not have a dragon crystal, but the bone marrow had also been sucked dry by the parasitic shells. Other than a sturdy skeleton, there was no other value. However, Salin already had a plan in mind. When he returned, he would completely salvage the warship of the 2nd Dynasty and use the Thundercloud Wood as materials to build a dragon skeleton warship.
Salin's foundation on land was too unstable. To ensure his own safety, a Coiled Turtle Alchemy Ship was not enough. He also needed enough naval power to protect the new city. Back then, when Jason helped him choose the location, he had also considered this point. Although the magical power of Seriger Island was strong, it wasn't strong enough to fight against the Holy See. Therefore, Jason chose a place in the north where the Holy See's power had to go around the sea to attack.
However, Seriger Island had a large number of warships and enough experience in naval battles. If the Holy See attacked from the sea, Seriger Island's power would be enough to defend.
When Jason was traveling around the continent, he had more or less grasped the power of each country. It was a complete accident that he chose Ceylon City to train. He wasn't a magician who stayed at home to study. In terms of experience, even a hundred Salins couldn't compare to Jason.
After cleaning up the dragon's skeleton, Salin asked Nelis to remove the dragon's six legs and put them into the Dimensional Stone. Only then did he keep the main body of the dragon's skeleton.
After all that, Nelis was extremely tired. Collecting the dragon's skeleton that was almost 200 meters long had used up too much mental energy.
While Neris was resting, Salin began to plan. His original plan on going north was to hunt a magical beast in the sea. It would be best if it was a Unicorn White Whale, and use its skeleton to build a warship. However, after seeing the Unicorn White Whale, he completely dispelled this idea. Hunt? If he didn't get killed, then that magical beast would be kind by nature.
Now that he had obtained the dragon's skeleton, although there was no spiritual energy in the skeleton, it was the best thing to build a warship. Since he had achieved his goal, there was no need for him to take the risk. He had been out for a month. He would stay for another two months to complete the sea map of the nearby area and then return.
However, with so many Demonic Beasts rampaging in the dragon skeleton's hiding place, a rare treasure should have appeared. He wouldn't be satisfied if he didn't go back to take a look. This was still the outer area of the Frozen Sea, which was much safer than the Frozen Sea.
What was hidden under the dragon's skeleton that could make so many high-level magical beasts go crazy?
