Chapter 1279: Dragon Blood (Part 2)

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was due to Grand Duke Iron Blood sending his family’s powerful ones to the dragon plane that he did not seem to be much on Myers Mainland. He became the family’s leader not because he was the strongest, but because he was the best at management.

Saleen was considered more adept at management than other mages. There would not be a Metatrin City otherwise.

However, compared to the Grand Duke, his abilities at management were nothing. The Grand Duke was even able to recruit the likes of Imposa and got along with him. He grew to like the Grand Duke as a person.

An average dragon reached tens of thousands of pounds, with some reaching hundreds of thousands of pounds. Low level dragons might be somewhat lighter, but definitely not below 10,000 pounds.

Dragons had huge amount of blood. It was possible to extract thousands of pounds of blood from just one dragon alone.

120,000 pounds of dragon blood was hardly worth mentioning to Dragon Island. Saleen recalled the trade with the Grand Duke in the past and felt that he had lost out on quite a lot.

Saleen returned to Metatrin City with 120 pounds of dragon blood and 2,000 pieces of high level dragon scale. He handed them to his teacher and let him deal with them, before taking his followers teleporting to the Floating City.

The Floating City was at Guderian City and had yet to reach Metatrin City. Saleen took the city to the East Sea. He intended to get to Stormy Sea in three months to search for a temple there.

The location of the temple was the most dangerous, and Saleen had to get to it as soon as possible. With the Floating City, the journey to Stormy Sea was smooth. It would be easy for Saleen to attack the nations of the East Sea in the future as well.

As soon as he took the temple, Saleen intended to deal a huge blow to Alchemy City with Grand Duke Iron Blood. When he was done taking down Alchemy City, Saleen speculated that it would be about time for him to defend the pathway leading to the abomination plane.

Saleen did not spend his time idling. He researched the magic pharmaceutical formula of the Dragon Blood Warriors. The formula needed to be replicated using magic instead of taking notes conventionally to prevent anything unintended.

The Grand Duke placed huge importance in that trade, so he was unusually careful, as he dared not cause Saleen to suffer a loss.

The interdimensional space was too important to the Grand Duke. Dragon Blood Warriors were hardly worth mentioning before reaching level nine, as they were not even as useful as the Iron Blood warriors.

However, once the power of the mainland rose again, the speed at which Dragon Blood Warriors would advance would far surpass that of conventional warriors.

He would possess the strongest army.

Saleen knew that the reason he was researching the formula was to look for ways to improve it. Saleen was no genius in terms of magic, but his forte in any field related to magic was his talents in formulating magic pharmaceuticals.

Saleen was adept at calculations as well. Few mages were able to master Figaro’s Magic Formula to his level. Even his teacher, Jason, was impressed.

Due to Saleen not being able to find ways to advance, he was several times more diligent than other mages to compensate.

The secrets of the Dragon Blood Warriors were complicated. Dragon blood served as the main ingredient and all the other herbs were common on Myers Mainland, but he was able to find something off.

The formula had compromises, which meant that it was made so that it could be easily created on Myers Mainland in great quantities. Saleen contacted his teacher immediately.

Jason had not been paying attention to the formula, but when he heard what Saleen said, he realized that something was off with the formula as well.

The Grand Duke Iron Blood had not kept something from him. The one that the Grand Duke knew had always been the one they both have at the moment.

“Teacher, would you be able to calculate what the original formula was like?”

“It’s a matter of time. My men are all working in the alchemy factories, devoting all their time to crafting armor.

“Well, I’ll think of something myself then.” Saleen did not wait for Jason to remind him and slapped his head in frustration. The number of enchanters working for him reached 20,000, consisting of mainly demonic spirits and imps.

Creatures of that bloodline had inherently strong mental power capacity. With assistance from the magic net, their calculative abilities far exceeded the mages in Metatrin City and even him, if he let them learn Figaro’s Magic Formula.

Saleen decided to immediately craft a set of Figaro’s Magic Formula’s models and uploaded what he knew about the formula to the Floating City’s magic net.

The workings of the magic net differed from usual magic because someone needed to store all parts of a magic spell in the magic net before the net was capable of providing support for the magic.

If an enchanter cast an icicle, the magic net needed to have all chants, signs, and other requirements stored within, which enabled the magic net to be able to resonate with the magic spell.

Only by doing so would an enchanter be able to mobilize the magic net via the magic power furnace and cast a magic spell.

The benefit of a magic net was that it saved a lot of the enchanter’s time, enabling them to advance quickly. The downside, however, was that once an enchanter left a magic net, they would be reduced to what they used to be.

Saleen stopped the Floating City specifically for that purpose and began to work, uploading Figaro’s Magic Formula onto the magic net. It would be troublesome if someone else did it, but Saleen only needed to send the energy vibrations stored using Water Flame.

He had crafted the magic net over the Floating City. His effort at perfecting the city had surpassed the effort he devoted to any of his equipment.

Most of the Floating City was still empty. It was filled only with enchanters, demons and some mages performing experiments. There were no warriors to be found. Saleen had used lightning puppets and star figures to take the warriors’ place for the time being.

Gaine had taken the level 19 Star Gathering Needle with him and left the astrology tower to Saleen. Saleen was free to take anything in the astrology tower, which included a huge amount of unclaimed figures.

Most of the figures were high level, the most common being level nine. It was a pity that their number was small. Saleen was already a level ten astrologer and was capable of crafting level nine figures. However, he was unable to craft a level ten one even if he was to be given a month to make just one.

Saleen was reluctant to use starline cloth, so he had been using other materials as substitutes, which made his star figures only level seven.

Level seven would suffice. Conventional troops, even the elites, were only level four or so. Saleen’s level seven figures would be more than enough to mop up most armies.

Until they encountered wardens or Temple Knights, the star figures were basically invincible.

The enchanters on the Floating City began to learn Figaro’s Magic Formula quickly, but they were unable to truly master it. To put it precisely, Saleen enabled the enchanters to use the magic net’s calculative abilities.

If they left the magic net, the enchanters’ knowledge of Figaro’s Magic Formula would not be greater than a warrior’s.

Saleen was unconcerned. Demonic spirits were lowly beings in demon plane, and they spent their lives as food for others. Even if they learned magic, their achievements would not be higher than humans.

The demonic spirits’ bloodlines and control of magic would never be as strong as humans.

Magic had originally been researched by humans, even dragon tongue magic. However, dragons were smarter than demonic spirits, enabling them to upgrade dragon tongue magic into powerful skills.

There were 24,000 enchanters on the Floating City. The enchanters began to calculate the components of the Dragon Blood Warriors’ secret formula. Saleen was able to derive the principles of Dragon Blood Warriors’ formula, enabling him to reform the formula.

Even if he was incapable of acquiring the original formula, Saleen would be able to improve it. That was the importance of manpower. In ancient times, even low level mages were able to bring frightening powers to bear, let alone the powerful ones all over the place.

It was easy to assemble up to a million mages back then. If a million mages calculated at the same time and were supported by equipment like the magic net, they would be able to calculate formulas for all kinds of magic pharmaceuticals.

What Saleen was doing had never been done on Myers Mainland. At its limit, the Floating City would be able to accommodate over a million enchanters. Saleen would truly be fearless.

Unless there were powerful ones who were two levels higher than he was, he would be able to put up a formidable defense using practically limitless creature and material resources, even if he was unable to take the powerful ones head on.

Enchanters chewed through the magic nuclei quickly. One formula after another was developed, which were used for further deducing the principles of magic pharmaceuticals. All kinds of data were written on magic paper by enchanters, sending the images to Saleen.

Saleen had acquired three formulas when he reached Stormy Sea. Two of the three were improved, one tailored to humans and the other tailored to demons. The remaining one was the original formula deduced using Figaro’s Magic Formula.

Saleen found something that exceeded his capacity to spend in the formula.

All kinds of precious materials and herbs were listed in the formula, most of which had already disappeared on Myers Mainland. Saleen had many of them in his stock, which he had acquired from the astrology tower. However, using such a formula to nurture Dragon Blood Warriors would be expensive.

It seemed that he needed to think of ways to deal with it. The other two new formulas acquired were decent, which would raise the chances of successfully nurturing Dragon Blood Warriors by 20 percent.

All the materials listed in the other two formulas were found in great quantities on Myers Mainland, and Saleen would be able to nurture huge amounts of Dragon Blood Warriors.

“Let’s gather the seeds.” Saleen sent the formula back to Metatrin City to allow them to collect seeds.

The Stormy Sea was right before them. It seemed calm when Saleen entered, but the waves were over a dozen meters tall. If it had not been for the Floating City, the winds there would have easily torn sails made from magic beast hide to shreds.

The wind was natural magic conjured by wind element. It was no wonder why Joey needed to be well prepared before entering the Stormy Sea.

The Floating City slowly descended to the surface of the sea. The ten-meter waves hardly bothered the Floating City, which had a thickness of 900 meters.

Only Saleen, who possessed insanely powerful equipment, would be able to venture inside easily and land right on top of the coordinates he wanted to be on.

Saleen had no idea what he would find within the temple hidden in the Stormy Sea, and he looked forward to it. His luck increased every time he destroyed a temple. Not even the Goddess of Myers would think that someone would do that.
