Not just that.
After the evolution, the swallowing list specifically stated that the true dragon bloodline that was swallowed were the Red Dragon and Silver Dragon.
Thinking back to his original appearance which resembled the Red Dragon and the Silver Dragon’s scales…
emmmmmm…
What a ssy circle!
Silver Dragons mostly look down on Red Dragons.
So, the aggressor is most likely a ferocious and powerful Red Dragon…
Various explosive images appeared in Otto’s mind. He quickly discarded those dangerous thoughts and began studying the second ability evolved by the Light Ball Boss.
This ability was called Absorption, allowing Otto to swallow the opponent’s abilities and energy without physically swallowing them.
The effective range was within 20 ters, could be used only once a day, and before it was completely consud, the target could escape.
Honestly, this ability was sowhat unremarkable.
But it might co in handy when Otto didn’t want to use his mouth.
For example, so particularly hard-to-eat things or various humanoid creatures that Otto instinctively repelled…
So, these were the two abilities related to the Light Ball Boss’s evolution. Now, Otto wanted to know how long he had slept this ti.
Using the communication scale, Saru and Link soon arrived at the Council Chamber.
Most of the Soaring Dragon Legion had already returned from the expedition. Saru left so monsters to clean up the battlefield and remodeled the Blue Dragon’s dungeon according to Otto’s wishes.
The old Lizardman respectfully kneeled before Otto and reported, “Your
Majesty, you have been asleep for five days.”
Five days, huh…
He was unsure if the lengthy slumber was due to the soul battlefield or the process of fully inheriting the legendary weapon’s attributes.
Not bothering to think further, Otto asked, “Has anything happened these
days?”
After so thought, Saru said, “Nothing special occurred. However, Princess Sofia took the human captives away, saying she had a way to make them speak.”
Closing his eyes and sensing her location, Otto quickly found the direction of the half-elf girl.
It seed she was now busy at her Magic Laboratory.
After instructing Saru to prepare so food, Otto turned to the werewolf standing nearby.
He rembered that his na was Link, who had so connections in the Black Gold City.
So, Otto requested, “I hope you can make a trip to Black Gold City for .” “Your Majesty, do you want to buy sothing for you?”
Link imdiately knelt before Otto, who nodded and said, “I want you to buy so intelligent humanoid slaves with magical talents.”
Otto hadn’t forgotten to find so magic apprentices for Moray. Since the
Thunder Legion has been dealt with, so matters could be brought up now.
However, Link hesitated, “Your Majesty, slaves are generally expensive, especially those with good talents…”
Almost any goods can be purchased in Black Gold City, including slaves.
As long as you can pay enough gold coins, even elves from the Dawn Forest could be delivered right to your doorstep.
Knowing that Link was implying the lack of money, Otto, who had recently acquired the Blue Dragon Treasury, wasn’t short of gold coins now.
If Otto rembered correctly, Sofia had piled all the treasures in the inner hall. He stared at Link and asked solemnly, “How much gold do you need?”
This werewolf hesitated, “That depends on your specific needs, Your Majesty. If you need a large quantity, many slave rchants in Black Gold City also offer delivery services.”
“Of course, the prerequisite is to ensure their safety on the journey.”
After hearing this, Otto took a mont to think.
Besides satisfying his needs and finding magic apprentices for Moray, the Land of the Soaring Dragon seed to lack skilled craftsn.
So, Otto continued, “The more, the better. In addition to slaves with magical talents, I also want you to find so skilled craftsn, preferably with an accurate map of the continent.”
Link attempted to explain, “Maps are easy to obtain, and every trade association in the city sells them. However, the prices for slaves like Dwarf blacksmiths are not low. The slaves you need are not ordinary goods.”
“A gno with decent talent, capable of being a magic apprentice, typically costs around 10,000 Imperial Coins. A skilled Dwarf blacksmith can sell for up to 100,000 Imperial Coins.”
“Imperial Coins?”
Without further elaboration from Otto, Link imdiately explained, “These are the coins circulated between the Eastern and Western Empires, known for their high purity and stable minting process.”
“As a result, in addition to the two empires, the coins are also widely used and circulated among all human countries and other races.”
Suddenly, Otto rembered sothing and took out an exquisite gold coin with a moon pattern from underneath him.
“Ah, this is a Gold Moon.”
Link quickly recognized the coin and continued, “It’s one of the types of coins minted by the empire. The face value of this Gold Moon is 10,000 Imperial
Coins.”
Soon, Otto understood the situation of the Imperial Coins through Link’s introduction.
Imperial Coins were roughly divided into six categories based on their minting materials and sizes: Copper Star, Copper Moon, Silver Star, Silver Moon, Gold Star, and Gold Moon.
The quantity of materials used for each coin, from left to right, was adjusted to a precise size difference of ten tis the corresponding face value.
Even Copper Star and Silver Star, which have similar nas, differ in size.
According to the face value of Imperial Coins, the smallest Copper Star is worth
1/10 of an Imperial Coin, while the largest Gold Moon is worth 10,000 Imperial Coins.
Since the Imperial Coins are consistently high-quality, stable in weight, and convenient for calculations, they are used by almost all rchants on the continent except for business transactions or cities with specific hard currency requirents.
In addition to Imperial Coins, other human kingdoms have also cast their currencies, such as the Lait Coins officially circulated within the Lait Kingdom.
Their face value is approximately 1 Gold = 20 Silver = 240 Copper. However, due to the crude minting process and unstable purity, exchange rates for Lait Coins need to be adjusted according to actual conditions when used in transactions. This makes it very troubleso. The sa is true for coins from other countries, with even cases of gold coins rusting. So, it further solidified the status of Imperial Coins.
For example, the gold coins currently piled under Otto were mostly minted in Lait, Mido, and Tal, all small countries with considerably lower quality. According to Link, nearly five of these gold coins were required to exchange for one Imperial Gold Star….
