Chapter 45 The Stolen Dragon Egg

To deal with high-level magical beasts and mine magical ore, Loren needs to make ample preparations.

He went to Haikou City to purchase various medicines.

Haikou City is the most prosperous urban area near Shashi Town, where all kinds of goods are available, including medicines, weapons and so on.

Loren entered a potions shop.

The owner of the potion shop was an old man over fifty years old, who was dozing inside.

The person in charge of watching the store was a young boy.

Welcome to the Potions Shop!

Loren looked around; the room was filled with many magical potions.

"I'd like to purchase a batch of antidotes and poison-resistance agents. Do you have any in stock?"

"Sir, there are many types of poison resistance agents. What exactly do you want to use them for?" the little boy asked.

"To deal with spider-like magical beasts."

The little boy took out three different types of purple medicine bottles.

"These three potions can all increase poison resistance and are used to target low-level, mid-level, and high-level magical beasts, respectively."

Loren grabbed a bottle of high-grade poison resistance potion and asked, "How much is one bottle?"

"100 gold coins."

Unsurprisingly, the medicine was very expensive.

High-grade antidotes, in particular, are not only expensive but also scarce.

Do you have any recovery potions?

The little boy shook his head. "The materials for making recovery potions are very scarce, and the shop is currently out of stock."

The scarcity of materials is one factor, and the high demand is another.

Besides fighting monsters, healing potions are also needed in conflicts and battles between territories.

Next month, a batch of black roses will be able to be cultivated in the farmland of Shashi Town.

After Fran evolved into a fairy, she accelerated the blooming process of the roses once again.

It now only takes three months to cultivate a batch of roses, and the yield will also increase significantly.

The town of Sandstone needs a pharmacist.

I wonder if we can recruit the old man from that potions shop someday...

Loren bought three bottles of poison resistance potions and went to the most famous blacksmith shop in town.

There is a difference in skill level between blacksmiths in Haikou City and Shashi Town.

The blacksmiths in Sandstone Town are not very skilled and can only make ordinary tools.

Even if they manage to mine magic ore, they will still find it difficult to forge high-quality weapons.

The blacksmiths in Haikou City are different; this shop alone has several exquisite longswords.

"Boss, how much is this longsword?"

The burly shopkeeper looked at Loren, "We have 500, 1000, and 2000 coins, and the cheapest is only 100 gold coins."

A longsword worth 100 gold is not as valuable as the one Loren himself has.

The knights of Sandstone Town are all from the Silvermoon family, so their weapons are of decent quality.

Upgrading your equipment will cost a lot of money.

Loren can't afford such expensive weapons right now.

"Boss, if I give you a batch of magic ore, can you forge even better equipment?"

Magic ore is a key material for forging superior weapons.

But not all blacksmiths have this skill.

"Magic ore?" The shopkeeper immediately became interested. "Of course! My forging skills are among the best in the entire Haikou City. Not to mention magic ore, even magic ore concentrate is no problem!"

Judging from the weapons in the shop, the owner is indeed quite capable.

Shashi Town urgently needs such talent.

After leaving the blacksmith's shop, Loren bought a monster encyclopedia.

He wanted to gather as much information as possible about the Demon Spider.

High-level magical beasts are not so easy to deal with; it's always better to be careful.

Back in Sandstone, Loren planted a new batch of potatoes.

A total of 36 potatoes matured this month.

One of them is a potato worm. Thirty-five potatoes have sprouted, and with the help of the worm, it is estimated that 500 potatoes can be grown.

With the increase in planting volume, the greenhouses also need to be expanded.

We are currently in the potato breeding stage, and we need to use all sorts of methods to increase yield.

In the flowerbed, the black roses are growing well and have already formed flower buds.

After evolving into a sprite, Fran no longer stayed in the Elf Ring like other sprites and insects, but instead wandered around the castle all day.

It cries incessantly during the day, but thankfully it's quiet at night.

Among the remaining ten spirit insects, the thorny elm spirit insect actually showed signs of evolution.

There are clearly two types of elm trees.

One type is the Demon Flame Thorn Elm, which is a mutation of the Demon Flame Grass.

One type is the common thorny elm.

It doesn't control the most types of creatures, but it evolves faster than other insect spirits.

This shows that plant species are not the only condition for the evolution of the fairy insect.

The biggest difference between the thorny elm spirit insect and other spirit insects is that it often uses cordyceps to capture monsters.

Moreover, it likes to actively absorb the magic power in the Magic Flame Stone.

Battles and training may also promote their evolution.

The last day of October has passed, and November has arrived.

[This month's information has been updated]

[Intelligence 1]: Liz's fighting spirit level has increased, and she will be promoted to High Knight this month. The black roses in the Sandstone Town flower garden will ripen this month.

[Intelligence 2]: The conflict between the orc tribes and the elven kingdom has reignited, with constant border clashes. Orc forces, mainly composed of centaurs, are about to invade the east coast.

[Intelligence 3]: Due to Millie's disappearance, the fairy tribe broke out into a battle with the ice and snow tribe that entered the mountains, resulting in heavy casualties for the ice and snow tribe.

[Intelligence 4]: The Ice Dragon Lord has frozen a large area of ​​the sea and is extremely weak. A siren skilled in stealth took advantage of its weakness and stole an Ice Dragon Egg, which is now being sold at an extremely high price in the Ocean City.

[Intelligence 5]: The Elf Queen is curious about the development of Sandstone Town. She has decided to select a group of knights to serve you, and has appointed you as a baron and sent you to lead troops into battle.

This month's intelligence report contains a lot of information.

First, there's Liz's promotion, which greatly benefits Sandstone Town.

Each time your battle aura level increases, your strength will experience a qualitative leap.

As the strongest fighter in Sandstone Town, Liz's promotion is crucial.

Especially for a quest like exploring the Monster Mountain Range, you can't exactly ask Loris for help.

That girl's appearance fee is too high; Loren can't bear to spend it.

However, compared to the other pieces of information, the news of Liz's promotion to high-ranking knight was not so important.

The orcish tribes are about to invade the east coast, which is not good news.

The east coast is located south of Haikou City.

If the east coast falls, Haikou City will also be threatened.

Next are the coastal town and the sand and gravel town.

As a member of the Elf Kingdom, Loren naturally did not want the kingdom to be defeated.

But there was nothing he could do to help.

But then the Elf Queen bestowed upon him the title of Baron and sent him to lead troops into battle.

We can't exactly send him to lead the knights to fight the orc army, can we?
He wanted to develop in Shashi Town for a few more months.

As for intelligence information about the fairy race, it has little to do with Loren.

The fairy race belongs to the territory of the Ice and Snow Empire, and the conflict among them is an internal strife.

The Ice Empire and the Elf Kingdom are separated by the Monster Mountain Range, and conflicts between the two countries are rare.

Of these five pieces of information, the fourth one is the one that Loren is most concerned about.

The whereabouts of the dragon egg!
The Flame Dragon and the Frost Dragon clashed, and the Frost Lord was seriously injured.

The siren seized the opportunity to invade, but suffered a crushing defeat.

Unexpectedly, a certain sea monster stole a dragon egg!
Loren initially thought this intelligence was irrelevant to him.

But it is different now.

Dragon eggs are sold in the Ocean City.

Maybe Hela can buy it!
