While they were enjoying their conversation, Laplace suddenly stopped talking and looked at something not far away.
A black-scaled cave dragon, which had obviously shrunk in size, was looking at them.
When it saw Laplace looking at it, the cave dragon quickly walked to them and spoke in a respectful tone, "Greetings, esteemed guests." "Greetings."
The person … no, the dragon was their old dragon, Quintera. Laplace nodded to show his respect. "What are you doing here?" Angor asked curiously. Quintera: "I have been entrusted by Lord Ea to wait for the two of you." "Greetings."
"Mister Ea already knows we're here?" Angor looked around curiously. If the Book Dragon noticed them, did it mean that Mister Ea was nearby?
Quintera shook its head. "No. Mister Ea is still meeting with Madam Astrologer in the station. I've been waiting here for a long time." Angor nodded. "Then you must have noticed us when we reached this level, right?" "Yes."
Quintera nodded.
Indeed, Quintera noticed them right away.
The reason why Quintera didn't greet Laplace right away was that Quintera used a barrier to block Laplace as soon as he saw Laplace leaving the staircase.
Quintera immediately understood that they were discussing something in private. Since the barrier was deliberately set up to cover up the conversation, it must be something important. Quintera didn't want to interrupt them.
Until Laplace looked at it, Quintera understood what he meant. Angor felt a little embarrassed to see Quintera waiting for them. "Please lead the way, Mister Quintera." "Alright."
Quintera was worried that they would go to other shops first, so he quickly nodded and said, "Please follow me, honorable guests. "Alright."
Quintera leaped lightly and flew into the air.
It flapped its wings and flew over the guardrail of the corridor to arrive at the hollow area of the circular fortress.
Angor and Laplace knew that the entrance to the Hundred Dragon Kingdom's station was located in the hollow area, so they followed Quintera.
When the white mist enveloped them, the familiar feeling of traveling through space brought them to another vast space.
When they stood still again, they found themselves on a familiar plain.
In the distance, there were layers of mountains and lush forests. Near the forest, there was also a long river.
There were cloud caves above the mountains, emerald swamps in the depths of the forest, and rock temples at the end of the long river. These were the three most important places in the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation's outpost.
Previously, they had gone to the Rock Hall. But this time, Quintera brought them to the peak of the mountain, to the sky platform covered by gray mist — Cloud Cave.
The Cloud Cave could not be directly teleported. There was a special fog that concealed the spatial fluctuations. Therefore, if one wanted to go there, they had to follow a fixed route and fly all the way.
The one leading the way was still Quintera. While following the trail, it also explained the current situation.
The moment the Secret Tome Dragon arrived at the Hundred Dragons Divine Nation's outpost, the first thing it did was bring Gleipnir to the Cloud Cave to look for Kukulus.
From Quintera's narration, even it didn't know what the Secret Book Dragon talked about in the cloud cave. It didn't even know why the Secret Book Dragon went to find Kukulus first.
It was even a little confused. Wasn't it Lady Marian who called the Secret Book Dragon over? Why did it go to see Kukulus instead?
Angor already knew the answer to Quintera's question.
The Secret Book Dragon went to see Kukulus mainly because Kukulus inherited the "Nightshade" ability from the Misty Island Dragon Tomb.
A mysterious wonderland full of dragon talents was definitely more attractive to the Secret Book Dragon than the Songster and the Yusen Clan.
But Angor didn't say anything about it. Quintera would find out soon enough. There was no need to explain now.
After talking about the Cloud Cave, Quintera suddenly realized that it had nothing else to say.
Angor and Laplace didn't say anything either. The atmosphere became tense.
More importantly, they were still some distance away from the Cloud Cave. It was only then that Quintera realized the benefits of having Luigi around. Although Luigi often dissed him in the past, the conversation never stopped and the atmosphere was very lively when Luigi was around. This time, Luigi did not come with him and he did not know where he went.
Quintera sighed. If it was someone else, it wouldn't need to do that. But there was a "real boss" behind them who was on the same level as the Secret Book Dragon. It couldn't afford to be careless in front of someone like that.
Quintera tried its best to find the right topic. Suddenly, it glanced at Angor.
"You like crystal shells, Mister Angor?" Quintera asked. Crystal shells? He didn't know what Quintera was talking about until he noticed that Quintera was looking at his hand, so he lowered his head and looked at it.
He looked down and saw that he was holding the gift given to him by the guard captain. It was a red, oval crystal the size of a baby's palm.
"A crystal shell?" Angor asked curiously.
Since he was chatting with Laplace, Angor didn't check the crystal carefully. He only sensed the power of fire. He thought it was a fire element gemstone. But it turned out to be a crystal shell.
The Crystal Shell was a specialty of the Crystal Eye Clan. It had magical powers. From a certain point of view, it was quite similar to the Heart Flame of the Ying Ji Clan. However, the connection between the Crystal Eye Clan and the Crystal Eye Clan was not as deep as the connection between the Ying Ji Clan and the Heart Flame. The Crystal Shell was more like a tool, while the Heart Flame was the Ying Ji Clan's organ.
Angor was already interested in the crystal shells when he read the exhibition booklet. He didn't expect to get his first crystal shell in this way.
Quintera was surprised. "You don't know?" Angor nodded in embarrassment. "A Crystaleye guard gave it to me." "Huh?"
A gift? Is that even possible?
Quintera didn't think too much about it. It just assumed that a guard gave it to Angor to flatter him.
"It is indeed a crystal shell. But it's not ranked high among the Crystaleye race's crystal shells. "Huh?
Angor wasn't surprised. How good could a gift from a guard captain be?
"This crystal shell is called 'Redbud Hair'. It has good fire resistance and can withstand extremely high temperatures." Quintera continued, "If there are volcanoes or other features in a mirror space, you can use Redbud Hair to make an armor that allows you to explore the magma." "Yes."
The "Redbud Hair" crystal shell was quite useful. Unfortunately, there weren't many places in the White Sun Mirror Domain that had volcanoes, so it could only be used to defend against certain fire attacks.
However, fire attacks didn't rely on "fire elements". Instead, they relied on "attack".
Once an attack was involved, it would have effects such as armor penetration, armor penetration, sharpness, explosion, and so on.
Redbud Hair could only resist high temperatures. It couldn't do much against these special effects. Therefore, it wasn't useful at all.
This was why Redbud Hair was ranked at the bottom of the crystal shell ranking. The reference price on the booklet was: 80 crystals per si. "Si" was the Crystal Eye race's unit of measurement for crystal shells. The specific size needed to be measured. Visually, one si was estimated to be the size of an adult female's head. The "Redbud Hair" in Angor's hand was the size of a baby's fist, which was about 0.5 si, or 40 crystals.
It wasn't too much, but it wasn't too little either. In terms of compensation, the guard captain had done enough.
Angor fiddled with the "Redbud Hair" while injecting his spirit feelers into it.
As his spirit feelers entered, the "Redbud Hair" began to soften and collapse as if it was turning into some kind of non-Newtonian liquid. Following Angor's will, the "Redbud Hair" began to change its shape.
When Angor thought about "armor", the "Redbud Hair" turned into a suit of armor. However, the "Redbud Hair" was so small that only Krakoks could wear it.
Besides, even if it turned into an armor, Angor could turn it into something else with a thought. Its "mimicry" ability was as good as plasticine. It would not stick to any shape at all.
"This is the most special thing about a crystal shell.
It can mimic it at any time. " Quintera explained. Perhaps it was Angor's first time seeing a crystal shell.
Moreover, the "Mimicry" method could be used to further shape the shell.
For example, the hard part would be harder, the soft part would be softer, the transparent part would be more transparent, and the smooth part would be smoother. In other words, not only could the crystal shell imitate bright surfaces and solid objects, it could also imitate the appearance of all kinds of gemstones. It was precisely because the crystal shell had such a convenient mimicry ability that the crystal eye race could build palaces inside the major outposts overnight.
These palaces were all made from crystal shells, which could be easily turned into beautiful palaces with a single thought.
Of course, the "Mimicry" method had its weaknesses. No matter how hard or soft it was, or what kind of material it appeared to be, it would still inherit the characteristics of the original crystal shell.
For example, a palace made from a "Redbud Hair" crystal shell, no matter how luxurious it looked, or how sturdy its walls were, it was just an embroidered pillow. A "Redbud Hair" palace could only protect against fire. It couldn't defend against any kind of attack, including … prying eyes.
To prevent prying eyes, one would need to use a "Watery Spring" crystal shell, which contained 1,200 crystals each. The "Watery Spring" crystal was naturally resistant to spirit power, which could prevent spirit feelers from prying eyes.
To enhance the palace's defense, one would need a "Rock Crystal Cluster" crystal shell, which contained 5,000 crystals each. Rock Crystal Cluster could enhance the crystal shell's defensive power.
If one wanted to add a floating effect to the palace, one would need a "Wind Crystal" crystal shell, which contained 2,900 crystals each.
In short, the "Mimicry" of a crystal shell could only inherit the properties of the shell itself. No matter how strong the "Mimicry" was, if the shell itself was weak, it would still be useless.
The "Redbud Hair" in Angor's hand was one of those "Redbud Hair" crystal shells that were known to be weak.
Still, Angor felt that the "Redbud Hair" was quite good. It was not strong, but it was suitable for a certain mischievous fire elemental spirit.
Yep … it was Dangros.
Since Redbud Hair could resist fire, it could also block fire. If Angor could make a pair of gloves from Redbud Hair and give it to Dangros, Dangros wouldn't have to worry about setting a street on fire like what happened in Saint Sem City.
More importantly, Redbud Hair's size matched Dangros perfectly. "Dangros has been running around naked for so many years. It's time for him to get some clothes …" Angor was quite satisfied with the "Redbud Hair" and put it into his space storage. He would check his hologram tablet later to see if there were any nice gloves for Dangros so that he could make a new set of clothes with Earth style.
Quintera: "By the way, the Crystaleye Race doesn't have all their crystal shells on display. If you're interested, I can ask Olesandro to buy some for you." "Alright."
"Olesandro?" "Alright."
Quintera nodded. "Olesandro is in charge of purchasing crystal shells. You just need to inform Olesandro, and he can buy some special crystal shells for you." "Alright."
"If you want, I can give you the list of special crystal shells." "Alright."
Angor nodded. "Thank you." "Alright."
Even if he didn't need to buy other crystal shells, it was still a good idea to check them out.
Quintera quickly began to organize the list of special crystal shells in its mind. Normally, this would be Olesandro's job. But now, Quintera took the trouble to do so. This way, it could show that it had something to do, and it didn't have to worry about the awkward atmosphere if it kept quiet.
About a minute later, Quintera sorted out a list of names. It recorded all the names on a gray dragon scale.
This was a scale that Olesandro shed. All information related to the scale had been removed, leaving only its recording function. Also, it would disappear after one use.
He took the dragon scale and checked it with his spirit feelers. Then he sensed that the dragon scale on his hand had turned into ash. The information recorded on the scale flowed back into Angor's mind space along with his spirit feelers.
The information was arranged neatly in Angor's mind and formed a list in his illusion.
There were more than twenty special crystal shells recorded on the list. From top to bottom, they were listed.
They were sorted by price.
Angor didn't care whether he could afford them or not. Subconsciously, he looked at the most expensive crystal shell at the bottom of the list.
[Pure Rock Crystal Cluster: Bright yellow crystal shell with strong defensive power. 50,000 crystals per sector. ]
The familiar defensive crystal shell and the familiar "Rock Crystal Cluster". But this time, there was an extra "Pure" in front of "Rock Crystal Cluster". The price of one division also skyrocketed a full ten times from the previous 5000 condensed crystals.
The most expensive one was still the defensive crystal shell. Judging from this, the crystaleyes were more interested in defense than other effects.
Still, Angor was curious about how strong a defensive crystal shell could be if it could be sold for 50,000 crystals per sector.
Angor looked up and asked the question in his mind. Quintera considered. "The Pure Rock Crystal Cluster's defensive power is not bad. It will take me at least two full-strength attacks to break its defense. ]
