Chapter 413 Philosopher’s Stone

"Did Duke Barbaroa just die like that?"

After the battle, members of the Fairy Tail and Dragon Eater Guild Diabolos gathered around Ke Ling. The arrogant Alchemist Guild President was killed so easily, he didn't look like a boss at all.

In their eyes, Duke Barbaroa basically did nothing. He just stood there and was beaten to death by Ke Ling. They obviously did not notice that Duke Barbaroa failed to extract Ke Ling's magic power.

"His magic is very targeted. It will be very troublesome for you dragon slayers to encounter him. He can easily drain your magic and make you lose your power."

Ke Ling started to explain. Duke Barbaroa was not weak. His special magic could give him an advantage over most people, because most wizards specialized in one type of magic and could be easily restrained by him.

Especially these "Dragon Slayer Wizards", who generally only use one kind of "Dragon Slayer Magic". If you meet him, you basically have no choice but to surrender.

Of course, if one person can use two kinds of "Dragon-Slaying Magic", then Duke Barbaroa will be in trouble. This is what happened to him when he met Natsu. He extracted Natsu's fire dragon power, but Natsu could still use the power of thunder dragon at that time. He was directly knocked down by Natsu's "Thunder Dragon Mode".

He had no way to deal with someone like Ke Ling. Even if Ke Ling allowed him to extract their abilities and he extracted one, Ke Ling still had a lot of other powers and could still easily kill him.

"You actually have this ability!"

After listening to Ke Ling's words, everyone was surprised, especially the "Dragon Slayers". They immediately understood how terrifying this guy was. He was simply their nemesis!

"In fact, this guy has been searching for the Dragon Slayer Mage. He plans to use the power of the Dragon Slayer Mage to perfect the Dragon Slayer Weapon Athena, but he has not found a suitable target."

Ke Ling knew that this "Golden Dragon" Vernes was also very ambitious. He wanted to control all the "Five Dragons" and unify the Northern Continent.

"That's not right. Diabolos of our Dragon Devourer Guild is quite famous. Since he wants the power of the Dragon Slayer, why doesn't he come to trouble us? Is he afraid of us?"

Jorg Lessen raised an objection. It was not like they didn't have "Dragon Slayers" in the Northern Continent. Why didn't this Duke Barbaroa come to them? What did this mean? Did he look down on their "Dragon Eater" Guild Diabolos? !

"Yes, he does look down on you. He thinks the power you use is too dirty. He needs the pure magic of dragons."

Ke Ling spoke, which made Jorg Lessen speechless. He really couldn't refute it because he himself knew the problem. They had to strictly control the use of "Dragon Slaying Magic", otherwise they would be affected by this power.

"This guy looked down on you. He originally wanted to use the magic power of the Earth Dragon Draculamag. After the Earth Dragon Draculamag died, it turned into the Dracula Labyrinth. His magic power was dispersed into 72 Dracula Cores hidden in the labyrinth."

Ke Ling was quite familiar with Duke Barbaroa's plan. No, it should be said that it was the plan of the "Golden Dragon" Viernes.

If it was the real Duke Barbaroa, he might not dare to attack the "Earth Dragon" Draculamag.

Because "Flame Dragon" Igonia and "Earth Dragon" Draculamag are allies, the two of them have been conspiring, and "Flame Dragon" Igonia is also trying to resurrect "Earth Dragon" Draculamag.

If you want to go to Dracula's Labyrinth to plot the magic of the "Earth Dragon" Draculamag, you must first pass the "Flame Dragon" Ignia.

Of course, this level is gone now. The "Flame Dragon" Ignia has been defeated by Ke Ling and even lost his abilities. He is now imprisoned in the "Shadow Realm" by Ke Ling.

"Flame Dragon" Ignia was imprisoned together with "Water Dragon" Melkokobia. This pair of enemies have now suffered the same fate, but the two dragons have completely different mentalities.

After losing his power, "Water Dragon" Melkorbia became normal. He actually enjoyed the feeling of living as an ordinary person. Without the worries of magic running wild, he felt that he lived a happy life. "Water Dragon" Melkorbia was the least ambitious among the "Five Dragons".

However, the reaction of "Flame Dragon" Igonia was completely opposite. After losing his power, "Flame Dragon" Igonia became devastated. He felt that his life as a dragon had suddenly lost its meaning. Instead of living like this, he might as well just die.

But, even if he really died, he didn't want to. After all, he chose to flee to the northern continent because he was afraid of death. If he wasn't afraid of death, he should have faced the "Black Dragon" Acnologia directly.

"Boss Ke Ling, how can we kill this golden dragon?"

Standing at the gate of the "Golden Owl" Guild, everyone stared at the castle with worried looks on their faces. None of the people in the "Golden Owl" Guild knew anything about the "Golden Dragon" Viernes, and they were clueless.

"Stay here and don't let these guys get away. I'll go find someone to help."

Ke Ling gave an order, and he knew how to proceed to the next step.

Before leaving, Ke Ling looted all the things in the "Golden Owl" Guild. He also collected the books that recorded "Alchemy Magic", as well as Duke Barbaroa's experimental records and other things.

As expected of a guild known as the "No. 1 Alchemy Guild in the Northern Continent", the "Golden Owl" still has some real stuff, and Duke Barbaroa is indeed very strong in the field of "alchemy".

Of course, the "Golden Dragon" Viernes standing behind the scenes represents the top level of "alchemy" himself, and he uses real "alchemy".

The real reward for defeating the "Five Dragons" is actually paid by the "Golden Dragon" Viernes. His magic power can turn anything into gold. In the process of fighting with him, a large amount of gold will inevitably be produced. As long as you defeat the "Golden Dragon" Viernes, all the gold will naturally belong to the winner.

When Natsu and his companions completed the "Hundred Years Mission" and left the Northern Continent, they brought back a lot of gold. It can be said that they were truly financially free. They no longer had to worry about not being able to pay for the damage. They could just take out some gold to pay for it.

After taking away all the valuable things in the "Golden Owl" Guild, Ke Ling quickly rushed to another "Alchemy Guild".

The "Lead Eagle" guild is an alchemy guild founded by the real Duke Barbaroa. The current Duke Barbaroa has changed his name and is the president of this guild, Salam.

Ke Ling quickly found the "Lead Eagle" guild. Knowing the name of the guild, it became much easier to find its location.

The logo of the "Lead Eagle" guild is an eagle with spread wings. The guild's base is also quite large, but it is much smaller than that of the "Golden Owl".

"Is Salam here?"

Ke Ling went directly into the inner hall of the "Lead Eagle" guild and asked the alchemists in the guild.

"Who are you? What do you want from the president?"

Faced with the uninvited guest Ke Ling, the alchemists in the guild were relatively polite and only asked him what he wanted to see the president for.

"I need to refine the Philosopher's Stone."

Ke Ling explained the purpose of his visit in a concise manner.

"Ah? The Philosopher's Stone?"

The alchemist who asked the question was stunned. Not everyone can make this. Of course, if it is their president, maybe it can be done.

"What do you want to do with the Philosopher's Stone?"

Before the alchemist could reply, an old man came out and asked Ke Ling.

The old man was not tall, with a shiny head and long hair on both sides. He held a strange staff in his hand and had a metal block around his neck.

"President!"

Seeing this old man, the other alchemists saluted. He was Salam, the leader of the "Lead Eagle" Guild, the real Duke Barbaroa. He was the right age and looked much older than the fake one. "I need to deal with the golden dragon Vernes. I need to use the Philosopher's Stone to summon his true body."

Ke Ling said that to summon something that does not exist, the "Philosopher's Stone" is indeed needed. The "Philosopher's Stone" in this world is also a very magical thing. It can realize many impossible operations that ordinary people cannot make at all.

"Golden Dragon Vernes"

When he heard the name, Salam's expression changed a little.

"Please come with me so we can talk alone."

Salam invited Ke Ling. It was obvious that he was very interested in this matter and was willing to help Ke Ling think of a solution.

Ke Ling followed Salam into a separate room. The layout of the room was very much in the style of an alchemist, with various utensils and drawings. It was obviously Salam's private room.

"What is the current situation of the Golden Dragon Vernes?"

After entering the room and asking Ke Ling to sit down, Salam asked.

"The Golden Dragon Vernes has hidden his body and merged his will with the Golden Owl Guild. He is in a state of both existence and non-existence. We need to separate his will from the Golden Owl Guild, and then use the Philosopher's Stone to summon his true body."

Ke Ling briefly explained why the "Philosopher's Stone" was needed.

"That's doable."

Salam nodded in approval of this approach.

"Unfortunately, it is too difficult to refine the Philosopher's Stone."

After expressing his approval, Salam shook his head again.

The "Philosopher's Stone" can turn the impossible into the possible. It is the final product of alchemy. It is naturally not easy to refine it.

"You should be able to do it, right?"

Ke Ling looked at Salam. He remembered that this guy could refine it. It seemed that the father and son worked together to refine it.

"I can only say that I will try my best, but I am not sure."

Salam still shook his head. He didn't dare to say that he could definitely refine the "Philosopher's Stone". He really didn't have that ability.

"It's okay, I believe you can do it."

Ke Ling felt that old man Salam was being modest. After this guy merged with his son, the success rate of refining the "Philosopher's Stone" should be very high.

"Please come with me."

Salam did not deny it anymore. He took Ke Ling with him and left the "Lead Eagle" guild and headed for the forest not far from the guild.

His son Iruha lived in seclusion in the forest. Salam did not lie. It was indeed difficult for him to successfully refine the Philosopher's Stone, and it was also difficult for his son to do it himself. But if the two of them joined forces, the success rate would be greatly increased.

"Iruha, come out quickly."

Arriving in the forest, facing a bunch of ferocious plant-based creatures, Salam was not at all panicked. He spoke calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the plant-based entities that were rushing towards him and Ke Ling immediately stopped their movements.

"Father? Why are you here?"

A voice similar to Salaam's came from the woods. Iruha quickly came out of the woods and saluted Salaam.

"."

Seeing this Iruha, Ke Ling's face was full of black lines. He felt speechless, because the Iruha in front of him and Salaam were exactly like two peas in a pod. They should not be father and son, but twin brothers.

Ke Ling observed carefully and found that the difference between Iruha and Salaam was that they were almost identical except for their symmetrical hairstyles and beards.

"No, is he really your son?"

Ke Ling couldn't help but ask Salam, there was no way, it was really a bit outrageous.

"Of course we are father and son. Why? Don't my father and I look alike?"

Before Salam could answer, Iruha answered first.

“It’s because they look so similar that I’m asking this.”

Ke Ling couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand. He was just thinking, could this Iruha be a copy of himself created by Salam?

"I can't help it. My father's genes are stronger."

Iruha smiled and explained. Although the explanation sounded pale, it was indeed the truth.

"It doesn't matter. I just want to ask if you can make the Philosopher's Stone?"

Ke Ling stopped worrying about the appearance issue and spoke directly.

After Salam explained the cause, process and result of the incident, Iruha's expression became serious.

"Give it a try."

Iruha was an alchemy genius, but he did not dare to say too much. He just said to give it a try first, and then he took Ke Ling and Salaam into the woods and came to his alchemy hut.

"Come on, Father!"

Soon, Iruha and Salaam started to work. They directly used the "Fusion Alchemy - Parent-child Alchemy Fusion", and the two big men successfully merged together with one operation.

What is confusing is that after Iruha and Salaam merged, a young girl appeared. The girl's name was Irusala, and she looked nothing like Iruha or Salaam.
