Chapter 981: 240

"Li Pearl?" Daisy’s words made Richard freeze in shock, "The Four Great Dragon Orbs extracted from the ribs of the Dragon Prince are the Water Repelling Bead, Fire Avoidance Pearl, Avoid Soil Bead, and Wind-Resistance Bead, plus there’s a Night Pearl. However, that authentic Dragon Mandible Pearl only serves to cool down and provide relief from the heat; it has no so-called detoxifying or poison-resisting effects at all!"

"Who said it was those Dragon Orbs?" Daisy shook her head.

Richard blinked rapidly, becoming increasingly bewildered. Although he was undoubtedly a pearl collector, the pearls he now had on hand were only some Ice Beads, Feather Flame Serpent Pearls, and that cooling Night Pearl. He had given the Four Great Dragon Orbs to Yi Tiao, the Nine-bend Bead from Xu Dela and the Angelic Twelve Octaves Pearl from the Evil-eye Tyrant to Moer, and also the Appearance-preserving Pearl from the Fei Wenli Python, which was now in Avril’s mouth. All had been put to use. Now Richard had only recently gotten a Bamboo Joint Centipede Pearl, which was a spoils of war after killing High Priest Wolf, and its purpose was unclear.

As for the Dragon Orbs, he had indeed once had an experience of slaying a dragon, but back then in the Ink Crystal Canyon, he was completely a rookie, and had no choice but to watch as the Hell Black Dragon self-immolated. In the end, when cleaning up the battlefield, he only found Dragon Crystal and no Dragon Orbs. Now that Daisy suddenly mentioned a Li Pearl with poison-resisting effects, Richard thought long and hard but really couldn’t figure out when he had ever gotten another Dragon Orb.

"Do I have any other Dragon Orbs? No, I don’t!" Richard pondered deeply for a while, but even after considering the six great loads, he couldn’t figure out any other Dragon Orbs he might have.

"That’s easy, just find another dragon to slaughter, and there you have it." Yi Tiao affectionately squeezed Elder Andulan beside him, making playful faces at the elder, causing him to smile bitterly with frustration.

"Great idea," Richard’s eyes lit up, "Yi Tiao, how about we set out right now and take a stroll around the famous mountains?"

"Slaying dragons has its limits. With your level of strength, if you treat dragon slaying like inviting guests to dinner, the two great Dragon Cities will come to beat you into pigs if I take your names," Master Puskas looked at the two extremely foolish fellows with a smile.

"What I’m talking about isn’t for you to go slaying dragons. To talk about slaying dragons in front of the Dragon Clan, are you trying to provoke my wrath?" Daisy glared sternly at Richard.

"If we can’t slay dragons, then Missy, you have to tell me, where am I going to find a Li Pearl?" Richard said, utterly perplexed.

"Richard, don’t forget..." Nana pointed to her pert nose and took over the conversation, "...I and Daisy are both from the Dragon Clan, we should each have a Li Pearl in our lower jaws."

"Bullshit!" Richard was stunned, his face suddenly becoming stern, "Nana, what nonsense are you spouting! I haven’t degraded to the point of turning on my own women."

"We’re not joking," Nana said with a serious expression, while Daisy also solemnly nodded in agreement.

Richard stared at the two of them, then turned to look at Ning Yu, who was smirking quietly, and then at Yi Tiao, who twitched the corners of his mouth and shrugged helplessly with an innocent look.

"What kind of riddle are you playing here?" Richard turned and asked Daisy.

"It’s like this, Richard," Ruona began to explain, "As you know, on the Aegean Continent, any Magical Beast, whether or not it can transform into human form, absolutely doesn’t use any equipment in battle. Our Dragon Clan’s hoarding habit is world-renowned, but have you ever seen any member of the Dragon Clan use magical equipment in battle? I don’t think so."

"I know, it stems from an ancient tradition that goes back a long way," Richard nodded, acknowledging an irrefutable fact; indeed, he had never seen any member of the Dragon Clan using magical equipment to aid them in combat.

But then again, only transcendent Magical Beasts with human forms have the basic prerequisites to wield magical tools and equipment. On the Aegean Continent, Magical Beasts capable of transforming into humans without exception are the champions among the super-level Warcrafts. For such high-level experts, the difference between using and not using mundane magical tools and equipment is actually not that significant.

"However, according to what Yi Tiao said, on the distant Silk Continent, whether it is Mages or Divine Beasts, regardless of their level, they all excel at forging various magical treasures for themselves. These treasures are made from resources readily at hand, exploited to the fullest. In battle, these eastern Mages or Divine Beasts can rely on their own magical treasures and enter the fray together, unlike the Magical Beasts of our Aegean Continent, who solely depend on their inherent fighting instinct and magic power for combat!" Daisy said with a smile.

"That’s a regional difference, nothing surprising! The geographical environment and cultural atmosphere of the Silk Continent are entirely different from those of the Aegean Continent, so there’s nothing so strange about it," Richard frowned lightly and spoke with a slight smile, "You’ve also heard Yi Tiao describe the customs and cultures of the Silk Continent, where even lower-level Divine Beasts can easily transform into human form, while the Magical Beasts of our Aegean Continent who can do so are all of exceptional rank. The regional and cultural differences between the two continents are only natural. However, if you think about it carefully, the differences between the two aren’t really that significant after all. The Magical Beasts of the Aegean Continent rely on their own hard-earned strength for battle, while the Divine Beasts of the Silk Continent rely more on the assistance of equipment. In the end, they each have their own focuses on the path to attaining greater power, there’s nothing strange about that."
