Volume Two The Fallen Light Chapter 47 The Coup (One…
This dead giant dragon was all green in color and was not particularly big. It looked like he was just an adult among the green dragon tribe, and his strength should be at the beginning of the holy realm.
As a middle-lower group among the dragon clan, the green dragons have relatively average strength. They only rely on breathing, hand-to-hand combat and some low-level dragon language magic to fight, which is not the same as the combat effectiveness of the real high-level dragon clan.
Of course, the strength of the green dragon is generally compared to that of the high-level dragons, and it is more than enough to deal with a few basic levels of human beings.
The nobles and ministers present were talking a lot. This charming second prince who usually does not do his job is still capable of slaying dragons?
Ivan's face was even more livid. The spring hunt that was originally reserved for him actually let his younger brother, whom he looked down upon, steal the limelight. What was he going to do?
Don’t you take yourself as the crown prince seriously?
Charles III had a complicated heart. He didn't pay much attention to his son on weekdays, and focused on Ivan. Although he was not that material, the Alplekes royal family implemented the eldest son inheritance system, and Ivan's status as crown prince
unbreakable.
Tenderness and love were given to their daughter Ekaterina, a treatment that both Ivan and Peter had never experienced.
But Peter, the second son, didn't pay much attention to him. Although he was very smart since he was a child, he became dissolute as an adult and left many romantic stories in the imperial capital. This made the always traditional Charles III even more displeased.
At this moment, facing Peter's gift, Charles III couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his second son. He didn't believe that Peter had the ability to slay a dragon, but being able to find or hire several strong men from the sanctuary to help him also proved his character.
Charm and ability, and the thought put into it.
This kid, maybe he was so neglected that he even slapped his own brother in the face to please himself.
As for Ivan, Charles III knew how he came to be the champion of spring hunting every year.
This time we can no longer favor one against another, and the value of the dragon is indeed not comparable to that of those beasts.
So Charles III felt comforted and a little guilty, and announced on the spot: "This year's spring hunting champion is undoubtedly the second prince Peter!"
As His Majesty the Emperor announced the results, everyone present except Ivan applauded, because not only was the result approved by His Majesty the Emperor, but also being able to hunt the dragon really convinced everyone. After all, most people would never do it in their lifetime.
I have never seen a real dragon.
Amidst the applause, Ivan felt like he was being slapped in the face. What he cared about was not a bullshit spring hunting champion, but the feeling of having all the stars supporting the moon, with him as the center.
As the crown prince, he has grown up in the public praise and focus. Every spring hunting, the prey is given to him voluntarily or involuntarily by other noble children and royal family members for hunting, and no one else dares to compete with him.
He competes for this honor.
So Ivan felt a little superior and sarcastically said:
"My dear brother, are there dragons in the royal gardens? How much did it cost to find good people to help you slay the dragon?"
Peter immediately smiled and said: "My dear Crown Prince, of course there are dragons in the royal garden. They are in the northern mountains. If you don't believe me, you can ask Master Luo Ning."
Seeing Peter changing the topic to Luo Ning, everyone's attention gathered, and Luo Ning had to explain:
"His Royal Highness Peter is right. There is indeed a green dragon in the northern mountains of the Royal Garden. It should be a dragon egg left behind when the dragon clan migrated. This little dragon does not have the care of an adult dragon, so its growth rate and strength will be slower. Otherwise,
Your Highness’s dragon-slaying operation will be more difficult.”
Luo Ning said matter-of-factly that he had no intention of getting involved in the imperial crown prince's struggle and was just telling the facts from a neutral perspective.
Ivan, on the other hand, was filled with hatred: This old guy!
But he didn't dare to say that, because Charles III was respectful to this legendary mage. He was just the crown prince and not the emperor, so he was nothing.
At this time, Luo Ning said with great wealth: "Your Highness Peter, can you sell this giant dragon to our Magicians Association? We need the dragon's body and materials for magic research. The price is up to you."
Master's arrogance and wealth are vividly displayed at this moment.
The dragon's whole body is full of treasures, and it is also an elusive magical material.
Dragon scales can be added to armor to enhance defense.
Dragon's blood is a precious alchemical material. The alchemy medicine machine that can improve a professional level under the sanctuary - Breath of God is refined with dragon's blood.
Eating dragon meat can improve physical fitness and prolong life.
Dragon tendons can be used to make high-level longbows. It is said that the legendary longbow of the King of High Elves is made of the dragon tendons of the legendary dragon.
Longan can be processed into extremely expensive jewelry to highlight the owner's status. After all, no matter how many gold and silver jewelry there are, they are not as grand as longan.
Dragon horn has good magic conductivity and is an essential material for making high-level magic items.
It can be said that the whole body of a dragon is full of treasures. Even if this low-level green dragon is dismantled and sold, it is worth millions of gold Galleons. This does not include the money before converting the materials into magic and alchemy products.
For a moment, everyone present was breathing heavily, and their eyes were a little hot. Looking at the corpse of this giant dragon, it seemed like a golden mountain.
"Master Luo Ning, I have the final say on this dragon. Except for the outer dragon eyes, dragon scales and dragon flesh, the rest belongs to your Mage Association. Peter, what do you think?"
Charles III wanted to use the green dragon's body to further win over Ronin and his Mage Association, and he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money.
As for the longan, it must have been included in the royal treasury as a collection.
Dragon scales can be made into magic armor and equipped with your own guards.
The dragon meat is reserved for the royal family. It is said that in addition to strengthening the body and prolonging life, it also has the effect of protecting ten women at night and keeping the golden qiang from falling. You can try it after you return.
Hearing Charles III's tone that seemed to be asking questions but actually giving orders, Peter smiled as if the breeze was blowing on his face:
"This dragon is a gift prepared by my son for my father, and it is entirely up to my father to distribute it."
After hearing Peter's reply, Charles III couldn't stop laughing. The previous gloom of the empire's critical situation was swept away, and he was thinking about how to care more about Peter in the future and give him rewards and care.
No one noticed the cold light flashing in Peter's eyes.
When Crown Prince Ivan saw what had happened, he could only shut up in confusion. However, he observed that the several followers behind Peter were very powerful and should be the real main force in the dragon slaying this time.
I don’t know how this good-for-nothing brother managed to hook up with these strong men. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to win over these people. I don’t believe they can resist the price I’m offering. No matter what price Peter offers, it will be doubled to me!
Ivan thought secretly in his heart: "Humph, let's let you out of the limelight today. You will be a good looker in the future."
At the same time, he felt a sense of crisis in his heart. This brother who usually did nothing on weekdays actually made him a little confused today.
"It seems that I have to suppress him in the future to make him understand that I, Ivan, am the first heir to Albrex. Anyone who dares to have any unreasonable thoughts about the throne will be crushed to pieces by me!"
No one paid attention to or knew about Ivan's inner drama. Everyone's attention was focused on the green dragon corpse. Even Luo Ning stepped forward to check.
As a legendary mage who is more than 200 years old, Luo Ning has slain dragons several times in his life, but he only slew middle and lower-class dragons such as red dragons and green dragons, and the number was only a few.
You must know that giant dragons also live in groups. Although they are rare in number, they are extremely vengeful. Whether they are giant dragons or sub-dragons, it seems that holding grudges is the nature of dragons.
But Luo Ning and his old friends killed dragons that were alone or living in isolation. They didn't have to worry about the dragon clan's revenge, and they weren't very strong either.
As for the high-level dragons, they are beings with higher magical attainments than him. Coupled with the high-level dragon's natural affinity for magic and the increase in dragon language magic, no one dares to risk their lives to offend a high-level dragon.
Looking at this green dragon at this moment, Luo Ning couldn't help but feel a little excited, even though it was a legendary mage. This could greatly improve the overall strength of the Mage Association. There are several important studies that require the use of these materials.
Luo Ning, who was stepping forward to inspect the dragon's corpse, suddenly felt something was wrong. He saw a large bulge on the chest and abdomen of the dragon's corpse in front of him.
