Chapter 42 According to legend (2/2)
He had heard of Dragonscale, but it only existed in legend told in the tavern of Primal Wildfire Town. When the bards told the stories, they had mentioned about it ……It could be described with one word: Strong!!
“Dragonscales are the hardest on the back and a bit weaker on the abdomen – but it was only relatively speaking, since it was still much stronger than the finest human-made armor.” Leisurely talking about it, Ada pointed at Dora next to him: “Generally speaking, if you can get some Dragonscales from the abdominal area and make a set of armor out of it, although it cannot be compared to an artifact, it would be not far away from it.”
“Why using the Dragonscales on the abdominal area? Didn’t you say the hardest part was on the back?”
Looking at the greed in this fellow’s eyes, Ada replied with disdain: “The scale on its back is harder, but because of its extreme hardness, it would be too difficult to mould and polish. The scales on the abdomen, although slightly weaker, one could barely mould and polish it…… However to process the scales on the abdominal area, I heard that only dwarf masters were able to craft something with this kind of hard material, as for you humans……I fear that there are not many craftsmen left on this continent that can create such things.”
Hearing this, Shaar was getting somewhat annoyed.
Fuck! After all this, I need to go look for a dwarf while carrying a pile of Dragonscale?
In Primal Wildfire, the dwarves were actually not hard to find. The problem was, if you dared to go to the territory of the dwarves, there was definitely no way to return get back alive! Your skull would turn into lacquerware for dwarves!
Shaar could not help but to get discouraged: “Alright! Let’s first not speak of Dragonscale. Worst case, this uncle will peel off the Dragonscales and sell them. Anyway, I don’t intent to become a legendary hero and there is no need to put so much effort to get a set of dragonscale armor.”
Ada smiled with a hint of ridicule: “Right now you don’t want to, but when you comprehend the full advantage of Dragonscale, you will understand……If using the dragonscale only as material, it’s not worth much. The most important factor is that ordinary manufactured metal armor has great difficulties to hold magic blessing, since most metal are repellent against magic. Only the greatest human alchemist could achieve this. However, I heard that there are only few wise human alchemists left right now. With Dragonscale it is different, since dragons are creature with natural magic adhesion. Even an ordinary magician, can very easily enchant a Dragonscale armor with magic if they want ……One set of Dragonscales armor is often an extremely magic resistant equipment!”
Listening to his, Shaar fiercely rubbed of his saliva and cursed: “Enough! I am already sold! I will go find a dwarf later if I have the opportunity ……”
However, when he remembered those short tempered, mighty dwarves from the legends, the hillbilly panted while hesitating for a moment before asking: “Anything else? You said that this dragon is a treasure, are there other things?”
“Dragonfang.”Ada said with a smile: “Dragonfangs have an unparalleled sharpness, particularly the dragon’s upper jaw fangs. One could make a Dragonfang sword or spear……According to legend the Dragonsword and Dragonspear are produced this way. However, the manufacturing process ……”
Shaar got annoyed: “I know, I know! I must look for a dwarf, alright! I know! Is there something else?”
While acting annoying, he had already decided in his mind to pull out all the Dragonfangs after it died.
“Also, the Dragonhide.”Ada sighed: “Dora is an earth type dragon and her leather could be made into a robe. It could defend against most earth type magic and even would have a certain defense capability against low level magic of other types. It would count as an Anti-magic equipment.”
Hearing this, Shaar felt excited again, but he looked at Ada cautiously and asked: “This ……The dragon leather robe, I don’t need to look for a dwarf to make it……”
Ada smiled: “Of course not, dwarves excel in the craft of blacksmith, but are not known for being good tailors.”
Shaar breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt uneasy in his mind: “What else?”
“There is……Dragontendon!”Ada’s eyes began to flash and his tone was slightly excited: “If you want a nice bow, then Dragontendon would make the perfect material for the most powerful bow! For a bow, the hardest thing to find is a superior bowstring! A Dragontendon is tough and resilient, but also has magical attributes. Neither sword nor spear could cut it. Furthermore, it has extremely good stretchabilitiy ……According to the continents legend, among the three most famous artifact bows of the elves, two bowstrings were made of Dragontendon!”
Artifact?
Shaar’s face reddened and he started to see stars ……Artifact!!
What did the title Aritifact represent?!!
“But…..” Ada tone immediately changed and sighed.
“But what?” Shaar immediately gave birth to a bad feeling. Every time this Ada spoke of how good the material from a dragon was, when the word “but” came out, no good thing ever followed.
Sure enough!
“A Dragontendon can become a bowstring, but a bow cannot be made of only a bowstring! The bow itself must also be made from a superior material in order to match with the Dragontendon. First, you must soak the Dragontendon with elf tears from legends. Afterwards, you need to use the extremely rare hematite ore from the legends of dwarves in order to build the bow……”
Hearing this, Shaar spit out blood……
Okay! It was even harder than making a set of Dragonscale armor!
To make a set of Dragonscale armor, one must only look for a dwarf, but to build a Dragontendon bow, one had even to include the damn elves!
“Hey! Are you making fun of me?!” Shaar was at the end of nice nerves and got angry: “All you say is “according to legend” there, “from legend” that and you hype up all these things, however none of it is really achievable! You talk all day long about things according to legends! How would this uncle have so much time to look for nonsense “according to legend” things! Talking about these elf tears ……this uncle here wants to shed some tears right now!!”
