Chapter 928 - 928 75 The Key to the Gates of the Underworld 7100_2

928: Chapter 75: The Key to the Gates of the Underworld (7100)_2 928: Chapter 75: The Key to the Gates of the Underworld (7100)_2 Sio was very intrigued when he learned that Ian was going to attempt to create his own ‘Aether Armament’ and achieve his master-level Alchemy skills (under the pretext of needing Third Energy Level materials).

Since his own mother had given out a gift of gratitude, he would absolutely not allow himself to be outdone!

[Ian!]

He cheerfully got up and went to the entrance of his lair: [I took down a few Ironwing Dragons a while ago.

One of them is even at the Third Energy Level — I have no use for its materials, so I’ll give them to you!]

Ian was aware of those Ironwing Dragons; they were the three that the Dragon Hunting Team had encountered, which became his trophies after Sio knocked them down.

However, Sio didn’t really have a sense of personal ownership; defeating them wasn’t all his own doing and he had no use for the materials of such Sub-Dragon Magical Beasts.

Therefore, giving them away was especially straightforward for him.

Ian didn’t pay too much attention to it, just felt a bit of regret for not being in time, as the Third Energy Level soul could possibly condense into a ‘mid-grade Calculation Unit’.

With calculation power enough to serve as the administrative center of a large city, one Crystal might be slightly inadequate if it were to both aid in research and help Ian optimize various technologies, but two would certainly suffice for experiments.

And now, Sio said he would give him the entire Third Energy Level Ironwing Dragon…

Ian glanced at the King of the Mountain beside him.

The silver Great Dragon sighed: [Sio, you can’t do this…

That Ironwing Dragon is a shared trophy between you and Xiawei Territory, not your personal property.

This cannot be called a gift — and do you intend to cancel the gratitude owed for Ian curing your void poison with just a Third Energy Level Ironwing Dragon?]

[Oh]Sio’s tail swished behind him, feeling a bit awkward: [Then…

I…]

“Never mind.”

Ian laughed heartily, breaking the awkward mood: “From today onwards, the area of Solitary Flame Peak will be your territory, Sio — as a trade-off, I’ll unapologetically accept the materials from that Third Energy Level Ironwing Dragon.”

He gave Sio a look, then said: “Next up, the entrance of the mountain range here, is where my new Alchemy industrial zone is built…

If Roland and the others need any help, do help them out, consider it from the perspective of a joint owner of this territory.”

[No problem!]

With this, Sio shook off the embarrassment, the primordial spirit declared: [It’s just a favor I can easily handle, I’ll definitely help out!]

[And…

my territory!

I have a territory now!]

Perhaps this is just the nature of Sparkkind Creatures — as soon as they hear ‘my territory’, Sio seems blissfully content, showing an extremely happy demeanor.

Ian seriously doubted that the lords of Dragon Kingdom also share Sio’s sentiment.

Seems like True Dragons are creatures easily satisfied by having a piece of their own land…

Watching this scene, the King of the Mountain had nothing to say; It just shook Its head, looking at Ian: [Please take good care of Him…

Sio is a very capable child, or at least a highly potential one.]

“No, He is indeed very capable.”

Ian did not skimp on his praise, stating earnestly: “You mustn’t underestimate your own child — at the very least, maintaining such a positive disposition as He has now is an excellent proof of capability.”

To the King of the Mountain, Sio might seem full of various flaws, the so-called ‘child as seen by their parents’ perspective — but as a friend, Sio takes responsibility for his friends and doesn’t boast an inferior strength.

His spirit is also quite tenacious due to longstanding illness and His character is sincerely polite.

Just a single opportunity is needed for Him to soar, making Him the best friend in Ian’s eyes.

After all, where else can you find a True Dragon so innocent?

The materials of the Ironwing Dragon were stored in a cave at the foot of Solitary Flame Peak, preserved by Sio’s Spirit Energy seal, and Ian would have Scott prepare a team to transport them back to the city for dismantling into actual materials after some time.

After handing over the Earth Pulse Source Crystal to Ian, the King of the Mountain also prepared to leave.

Before leaving, It personally cleaned up Sio’s lair thoroughly.

While fortifying the mountain with Origin Quality, It continuously instructed Sio on the importance of cleanliness and tidiness…

One can only say that in parent-child relationships, dragons are really no different from humans.

And Ian, of course, had taken the Earth Pulse Source Crystal back to Xiahui City early, opening the small box gifted by the King of the Mountain.

In the box, bright patterns of light began to glow from the center, spreading out in all directions, with a pale blue light mixed with pure white gently twinkling, quickly forming a small Spirit Energy Field.

In the center of the field, a pure white Crystal surrounded by a spectrum of cyan and pure white light that intertwined inconsistently, spreading outwards like flickering flames.

[Earth Pulse Source Crystal]

[Third Power Level·Perfect Class·Authority·Edible]

[Born from the deep recesses of the planet, a rare Crystal from the core node of the natural cycle of Origin Quality, it itself is a Solid Ether perfectly integrated with Natural Spirit Energy and Origin Quality, constantly absorbing the surrounding natural Space-Time Spirit Energy and Origin Quality for self-charging, and can be used to create the core energy source for some sustainable Alchemy facilities]

[Compared to common ones of its kind, a perfect quality Earth Pulse Source Crystal has a better affinity for Origin Quality, and it can nourish the soul.

The light it emits can even enable Lost Souls to linger, hence it is also known as a ‘Nether Lamp’]
