Defeat the entire world with the power of one dragon!

Chapter 23 An unexpected surprise
"Alchemy?"

Samantha blew a stream of disdainful sparks from her nostrils.

"Isn't this just a weak trick of fiddling with bottles and jars? A true red dragon should conquer the world with claws and fire."

it said.

Among all dragons, the red dragon is almost the one that worships strength the most. It is proud of its bloodline and identity, and its favorite thing is to use its innate attack methods such as claws and dragon breath to defeat its opponents.

I heard Garros suggest that I learn alchemy.

Samantha's scoff was a normal reaction.

Because learning something like this requires genuine interest, coercion won't work. Garros smiled and said, "Do you know how much gold coins an alchemist in the Lothern Federation can earn in a year?"

As he spoke, he scratched at the alchemical engine with his claws.

The metallic collision sound was like the collision of gold coins.

Samantha's pupils widened slightly, and she became interested. "How much?"

Garros said seriously, "Even the worst alchemist can make a mountain of money."

Hearing this, Samantha's tail swung unconsciously, and it was obvious that she was interested.

".Really? You're not kidding me."

it said.

Garros nodded, his tone serious.

"Alchemists can also create their own gold coins. As long as you study diligently and master alchemy to a high enough level, you will become wealthy enough to purchase an entire empire. You can even hire hundreds of adult dragons like the Iron Dragon Lady to serve you at once, letting them sing praises of your greatness day and night."

"Besides wealth, alchemy can also make you even more powerful. Don't forget the giant miner that sent you fleeing in panic. Once you master alchemy, use it to continuously strengthen and refine your claws, fangs, and scales. I believe that with your talent, you will one day be able to tear apart the Holy Flame Judge with your bare hands, making countless evil dragons cheer for you and prostrate themselves at your feet in awe."

The scene described in these words.

It hits Samantha's sweet spot.

Just imagining it made Samantha's heart beat faster, and she felt an electric shock from her head to the tip of her tail.

Its chest heaved, its breathing was rapid, and its eyes showed longing.

But it still had concerns and hesitated, saying distressedly: "But learning magic sounds so troublesome."

The red dragon's IQ is not low. As the top-level monster, its magical talent and understanding surpass most spellcasters. However, the red dragon is lazy and does not like to use its brain.

As a standard pure-blooded red dragon.

Samantha also doesn't like thinking and learning.

Garros asked slowly, "Which do you find more troublesome, learning knowledge or being hunted by inferior creatures using alchemical tools?"

His question hit the nail on the head, and it silenced Samantha.

Samantha considered it a huge humiliation to be hunted by such weak and inferior creatures as goblins.

"Only through repeated tempering can one forge indestructible scales."

"Samantha, if you're not prepared to face trouble, or even torture, then stop dreaming of standing at the pinnacle of all things and ruling the world, because it's doomed to fail."

Garros ended with the red dragon's most vulnerable provocation.

Sure enough, after hearing Gallos' words, the hesitation and concerns on Samantha's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a touch of determination and ambition.

"Garos, my dear brother."

"I'll let you know that I, Samantha, also have my own awareness!"

It said in a resounding voice, "I will begin studying alchemy now!"

After saying this, Samantha leaned against a towering hemlock and squatted in the shadows.

It closed its eyes slightly but did not sleep. It began to concentrate deeply, digging deep into the alchemy knowledge in the Dragon Heritage, and spontaneously began to learn. It was a boring and uninteresting process.

Few dragons would explore and learn the knowledge in the dragon heritage on their own when they were young.

In fact, with such a treasure house as the Dragon Heritage, even the weakest white dragon among dragons can achieve something if it is willing to abandon arrogance and laziness and is willing to concentrate on diligently learning all kinds of magical knowledge.

If Samantha could hold on.

Although it still cannot be compared with Garros, it is a foregone conclusion that its growth rate will surpass that of ordinary red dragons.

at the same time.

Garros placed the alchemical engine in a rock depression and prepared to start his daily training. When he raised his claws, he noticed that his dragon claws were stained with some black sticky liquid.

"This is?"

At first he didn't know what it was.

But at the moment of curiosity in his heart, the dragon's inheritance was naturally triggered, and the corresponding information emerged in his mind.

It has to be said that although the dragon heritage has led to the inheritance of bad qualities such as arrogance and conceit from generation to generation among dragons, its existence is also one of the important reasons why dragons can become top creatures.

The content of the inheritance is vast and boundless, like a library that has accumulated knowledge and information for thousands of years.

Whenever needed, it always responds promptly.

"The black oil that flows from the alchemical engine."

Garros sniffed and smelled a pungent smell, like the motor oil he remembered, but with a strong spicy taste.

"Black oil, formed from the accumulation of monster bodies over a long period of time, is a basic energy source abundant on the planet Bernardo. Well, it's a bit like an upgraded version of petroleum."

Garros was thoughtful.

"It should contain a lot of energy."

"The tradition says it's not food, but it feels very attractive."

Think for a while.

Garros raised his paw, which was stained with black oil, to his mouth and licked it lightly with his tongue.

It's like licking mustard.

The spicy feeling goes straight into the nose.

When Garros swallowed it, he felt as if a small flame was burning in his stomach. The whole dragon was immediately shocked, raised his head and opened his mouth, and couldn't help but spit out a column of fire.

"Enough, that's enough!"

Staring at the black oil on his claws, Garros looked surprised.

The energy contained in this thing is comparable to the flesh and blood of high-level monsters he had eaten before.

His adaptive evolution did not come out of nothing; it required a lot of energy replenishment during the process.

Garros still remembers the first time he adapted to evolution.

Because it did not replenish enough energy, it evolved, but it was entirely relying on the energy of its own body. In the next few months, the whole dragon was as thin as skin and bones, as if it had been drained of everything by the succubus.

Afterwards, he ate like a starving ghost and gradually recovered.

Originally, Gallos was a little worried about the future.

When you become stronger and evolution requires a huge amount of energy, relying solely on hunting ferocious beasts and monsters will make the process very troublesome as you don’t know how much you need to eat at one time to accumulate enough.

This unexpected discovery now made him realize his best source of energy.
