Angor nodded.
He once discussed the strength of a Mirror Dragon with Luigi. Quintera was not one of the strongest Cave Dragons, but it was still as strong as a level-2 wizard. Its full-power attack could even reach the level of a level-2 wizard.
Even Sunders would have to be careful when facing such an attack. A Rock Crystal Cluster that could withstand Quintera's full-power attack, even if it could only withstand two of its attacks, was definitely a top-grade item.
Most of the time, one or two attacks could decide the outcome of a battle.
That was why it was so expensive.
Angor was also tempted by the Rock Crystal Cluster, but … it was too expensive. Fifty thousand crystals sounded reasonable. However, that was only the price of one Crystal Cluster. If he wanted to use the Rock Crystal Cluster to make a defensive armor, he would need at least a hundred Crystal Clusters, which meant five million crystals.
Instead of spending five million crystals on a Rock Crystal Cluster, he would rather buy some special materials and craft his own defensive equipment.
Speaking of "crafting", Angor suddenly thought of a possibility. "Can I use this crystal shell as a material for alchemy? "
Quintera considered and shook its head. "Well … I don't think so. "
"I once read a collection compiled by Mister Dirk in the library. According to Mister Dirk's records, the Crystal Eye race used a special method to create a crystal shell. They might think of it as "creation", but in essence, it is a special kind of "forging". The inside of the crystal shell is a structural chain composed of various kinds of crystal bonds. "
"Mixing such a structure with any other material may cause the crystal bonds inside the crystal shell to collapse, and the crystal shell will lose its effect." "That's why it's very difficult to reforge the crystal shell." Angor nodded. To put it bluntly, the crystal shell was an alchemy product, and anyone who tried to tamper with it would probably do harm to the product itself.
To verify Quintera's words, Angor reached his spirit feelers into the space and scanned the Red Cinnabar.
As he expected, the crystal shell's internal structure was extremely complicated and full of unknown crystal bonds. Once it was modified from the inside, the Red Cinnabar would lose its effect immediately.
It seemed that alchemy was not possible to modify the crystal shell. But … ordinary alchemy wouldn't work, so he could try Fantasy Alchemy.
Imaginative Alchemy didn't need to destroy the material body, but directly attached it to the body. For example, the various "modules" outside the Unbreakable Heart Mirror were added after the refining process.
However, his Fantasy Alchemy was only a prototype for now. If he wanted to use it fully, he would need to polish it further.
He shook his head and put these thoughts behind him. Instead, he decided to keep reading about the names of the shells.
At this moment, Quintera suddenly said, "Although the defensive properties of Pure Rock Crystal Clusters are not bad, the types of defense are too average. If you want to buy a defensive crystal shell, you can buy a specialized version of Pure Rock Crystal Clusters based on your own needs. "
Specialized version? Angor nodded as if he was considering something.
When he scanned through the names of the crystal shells in his mind, he did see a lot of "specialized versions". Presumably, this was what Quintera was talking about.
Angor moved his attention to an entry above the Pure Rock Crystal Clusters.
[Rock Crystal Cluster — Teleportation Specialization: Flaxen Crystal Shell. After use, the user will enter the 'Debt Hardened' state. While in the 'Debt Hardened' state, the user will not be able to move. However, it can provide extremely strong spatial protection. 45,000 crystals per unit. ]
After reading the "Teleportation Specialization" Rock Crystal Clusters, Angor roughly understood what Quintera meant.
There were many kinds of defensive crystal shells. Pure Rock Crystal Clusters had good defense, but they were too average. Specialized versions of defensive crystal shells, on the other hand, had certain flaws, but they were excellent in their own field.
For example, this "Teleportation Specialization" Rock Crystal Cluster was not necessarily useful in battle, and its weakness was obvious. After using it, the user would be frozen like a wooden chicken and could not move. However, it could resist the spatial ripples caused by teleportation.
Medium to long-distance teleportations would cause huge spatial ripples. Only wizards or above could do this.
They could guard the space. Because of this, if an Apprentice Adept wanted to teleport, they would need the protection of an official Adept.
However, if an apprentice used a "Teleportation Specialization" Rock Crystal Cluster, he or she would be able to teleport alone.
This was the special effect of the Rock Crystal Cluster.
It seemed that only apprentices could use the Rock Crystal Cluster, but wizards could also use it. In fact, wizards could even use it better than apprentices.
Here was an example.
When a wizard was in a desperate situation, he or she would most likely use one strategy: to open a plane passageway by force.
Because of this, the spatial ripples would be stronger than usual. Even if a wizard was prepared in advance, there was still a chance that he or she would get lost in the spatial ripples and end up in an unknown plane.
Besides, wizards who tried to open a plane passageway by force usually did so when they were in a desperate situation. There was no way they could prepare in advance, and the chances of getting lost were even higher.
If he had a "Teleportation Specialization" Rock Crystal Cluster, he or she would be able to resist the spatial ripples to a certain extent, which would increase his or her chances of survival.
In this aspect, the Rock Crystal Cluster was very useful.
As far as Angor was concerned, it was more attractive than the Rock Crystal Cluster.
Maybe he could consider buying some Rock Crystal Clusters as a backup when he had enough Rock Crystal Clusters.
Apart from "Teleportation Specialization", there were many other special Rock Crystal Clusters. For example, "Sharpness Specialization" and "Blunt Specialization". These specializations can be understood from the literal meaning, targeting penetrating power and covering power.
There were also "Element Specialization" and "Spirit Specialization", which targeted elemental attacks and spirit attacks. There was even "Mana Specialization", which was targeted at wizards.
It could be said that the specialized version of the Rock Crystal Cluster occupied half of the world. Almost half of them were Rock Crystal Clusters.
And they were all piled up in the second half of the book. This meant that these special Rock Crystal Clusters were all expensive.
In other words, as long as a defensive crystal shell was involved, whether it was special or not, the price would always be much higher than other crystal shells.
Maybe it was because the Crystal Eye race had a common trait of being defensive.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have to live in a single crystal castle.
After reading about the defensive Rock Crystal Clusters, Angor looked at the other special crystal shells.
[Vacuum Membrane: Pure black crystal shell. When placed in the void or other harsh environments, the Vacuum Membrane can be used to isolate external pressure. 8,000 crystals per Sector. ]
This kind of crystal shell was only targeted at creatures that needed "oxygen". The Vacuum Membrane could isolate the void and create an oxygen environment inside. It was a special kind of crystal shell.
For example, it was like a "space suit" in the supernatural world. However, this kind of space suit could hold so much oxygen that it could be self-made.
[Transparent Shell: Colorless Crystal Shell. When the Transparent Shell covers an object, it will suppress its aura and make it invisible. It can also cover living creatures, but it must have no blind spots. 23,000 crystals per Sector. ]
This kind of crystal shell was similar to an "Invisibility Cloak". As long as it covered the body, it could become invisible.
Not only could it hide objects, but it could also suppress the aura of living creatures.
From a practical point of view, this "Transparent Shell" was quite useful. The only thing to note was that to make a living creature invisible, it had to be covered with the shell. However, it would take more than one or two Sectors to cover the entire body. It would take a lot of Crystal Shells, and the price would be astronomical.
[Pine Coffin: Light green Crystal Shell. It can slowly heal injuries. One Sector …]
He then looked at the other special crystal shells and found that they all looked pretty good.
However, if he considered all of them as "alchemy products", Angor felt that something was missing. He could make something similar by himself.
For example, he could make a "Transparent Shell" with his current alchemy knowledge.
It wasn't difficult to make an Invisibility Cloak. If the mad hatter did a coronation, it might become a "Treasure" Invisibility Cloak.
Although they looked good on their own, Angor realized that 90% of them were not as good as the items he made himself.
"What do you think?" Quintera looked at Angor. "Do you want to buy one?" "Yes."
Seeing Angor slowly coming back to his senses, Quintera asked again. "All in all, they're not bad. But what's most interesting is …"
As far as Angor was concerned, the most interesting thing in the list, apart from the special crystal clusters for teleportation, was …
Vacuum Membrane!
The effect of Vacuum Membrane was not useful for Angor. However, Vacuum Membranes were also Crystal Shells, and they had a common effect: mimicry.
If the vacuum membrane was modeled into the shape of a palace, and then he could refine a space item with a large range, and put the vacuum membrane palace into the space item, wouldn't it become a "space item" that could accommodate living things?
Generally speaking, if alchemists wanted to accommodate living things in their space, they would need to place Void Algae.
The Void Floating Weed was a very special kind of magical plant. It had the characteristics of the void, but it also had the characteristics of a plant. It could absorb free space energy to satisfy its living conditions. In other words, it could create a space in the void where living creatures and plants could live.
Unfortunately, Hollow Weed was too expensive and rare.
Angor already had 13 Hollow Weed in his bracelet, which could create a living space about half a square meter in size.
The price of 13 Hollow Weed in an auction house was at least six or seven thousand magic crystals.
In other words, they were much more expensive than Vacuum Membranes.
Therefore, Angor believed that Vacuum Membrane could completely replace Void Weed's function. It was cheaper and provided a better environment for people to live in, so it was definitely the best option in terms of cost-effectiveness.
Quintera scratched its chin with its paw. "Hollow Weed? You mean … Hollow Weed?" I've never heard of such a thing. But according to what you said, Vacuum Membranes can replace Hollow Weed. Also, I think there might be some kind of microorganism inside the Vacuum Membranes that can create a living space. "
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the Vacuum Membranes to be self-sufficient. Angor decided not to comment on it for now. Whether there were microorganisms or "Hollow Weed" inside the Vacuum Membranes, he would know when he saw them in the future.
If that was the case, he might not need to buy Vacuum Membranes at all. He could just buy Hollow Weed from the Crystaleyes at a cheaper price.
While Angor was thinking, Quintera spoke in a low voice, "I'll remember the Vacuum Membranes and Teleportation Crystals. I'll contact Olessandro later and ask him to buy more. "Okay.
You don't have to buy them now. Just keep an eye on them. "For the specific situation and specific analysis, they haven't even seen the finished product yet, so it's obviously inappropriate for them to make a decision in the void.
If possible, he would like to see the actual sample before making a decision.
Quintera nodded. "I understand."
Instead of talking about the crystal shell, Quintera pointed at the top of a mountain not far away. "We're here." Angor and Laplace followed the direction of Quintera's finger. Above the towering mountain, there were layers of thick clouds that looked like vortexes. They looked like funnels that were narrow at the bottom and wide at the top.
They could vaguely see the darkness inside the thick clouds. Lightning bolts were slithering in the dark clouds, and lightning bolts were twisting around like vines.
Hidden behind the disaster-like clouds was the Cave Dragon's base … the Cloud Cave.
Following Quintera's lead, Angor and the others stopped at the top of the mountain.
Through the long ladder at the top of the mountain, they walked step by step into the higher and grander depths of the clouds.
From the outside, they might see lightning bolts dancing in the Cloud Cave. But from the inside, they couldn't see anything strange. Everything was peaceful. Below their feet were gray clouds, and at the end of the ladder was a door made of gray mist.
When they reached the end of the ladder, before Quintera could lead them inside, they saw a silver-eyed cave dragon the size of a small mountain standing in front of the door.
Angor was familiar with this creature. He saw it both in Crystal City and the Dream Crystal Plain.
It was the owner of the Mark of Dragon, the new leader of the cave dragons — Kukulus.
When Kukulus saw Angor and the others, his body slowly shrank until he turned into a mini cave dragon about two meters tall.
He floated toward them.
The creature no longer looked as arrogant as when they first met. Instead, Angor saw a hint of awkwardness in its eyes.
Maybe it didn't want to see Lu Yiji's logging device, and now it had to put down its pride again?
Angor didn't bother to guess. As long as the end result was the same, it didn't matter what obstacles they encountered along the way.
