Chapter 982: Chapter 240: Pearl Collector_2

One question set off a thousand waves of curiosity, and the conversation between Daisy and the Piegel Overlord immediately piqued Master Puskas’s interest. He harbored a strong desire to learn about the distant Far East Continent—Master Puskas’s voracious thirst for knowledge was not diminished by his noble status—this was a commonality among distinguished individuals who had made their mark in a certain field.

As for the Silk Continent, Liu had already gained some understanding through casual chats with Yi, and magic artifacts were not considered news. The magical equipment forged by the Eastern Divine Beasts for their own use was in fact similar to the path taken by the Magic Alchemists of the Aegean Continent. However, according to the previous descriptions by Yi, the forging of these magical artifacts was much more complex than the work of alchemists making magical equipment in Aegean. Most of the magical tools crafted by Aegean alchemists were auxiliary equipment, with offensive capabilities being extremely rare, and the only well-known offensive items were Golems and magically animated puppets. On the Silk Continent, however, it was different; the Eastern Divine Beasts or Mages created artifacts purely for combat. Of course, if possible, they would also create protective gear. In the Far East Silk Continent, once combat was involved, the variety and strength of magical artifacts significantly determined the outcome of a battle. The importance placed on one’s sect on the Silk Continent was exactly for this reason. The larger and more historic the sect, the more powerful and plentiful the artifacts. The strength of the disciples could easily be enhanced through these artifacts, making it far more systematic than what was found in Aegean. However, relying on artifacts alone was futile—personal strength was far more substantial than any ancestral artifact.

From this perspective alone, Liu felt that the Alchemy of the East was far more advanced than that of Aegean. However, these Eastern artifacts also shared the same downfall as Aegean’s alchemy—the limitations in materials were too significant, and the crafting cycle for these artifacts seemed to be even longer than that of Aegean alchemy.

After hearing the Overlord of Piegel’s explanation, Master Puskas found it quite novel. The idea that Eastern Divine Beasts could easily take on human forms and use magical equipment was unheard of, even for someone as well-traveled as Master Puskas. After all, in the Aegean Continent, using equipment to replace magic in attacks was hardly practical.

"Do all Mages and Divine Beasts of the East come from Alchemy backgrounds? Can they all craft magical artifacts? Such a probability is a bit too exaggerated, isn’t it?" Master Puskas still found it somewhat incomprehensible, considering the complexity of alchemy, even a renowned figure like himself wouldn’t dare to speak lightly of it. After expressing his profound respect for the mysterious Far East, he couldn’t help but feel a little curious—had the complex knowledge of alchemy become commonplace on that distant continent? If that were the case, the Mages and Magical Beasts of Aegean would seem foolish and naive by comparison.

"Master, as for crafting magical artifacts, it’s impossible for every type of Divine Beast or Mage’s sect to be as all-encompassing as an Aegean Alchemist. Let me use myself as an example," Yi said, sticking out her tongue, "My Crane Beak Sword is a forged artifact, indestructible and incomparably sharp. However, this is the only artifact I possess. Firstly, this is the only artifact I know how to craft, and secondly, because of my considerable personal strength, I don’t need to rely too heavily on artifacts for aid. If I wanted a second or third artifact, there would be only two options: either steal another’s artifact or snatch the secret techniques of crafting artifacts from someone else. But it seems there’s no need for such measures."

"Oh–" Master Puskas wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a surge of warmth, "I see, the number and variety of artifacts you craft are limited, that’s not so exaggerated then."

"Master," Liu said with an amused look at Master Puskas, "A monk from afar reads well. Don’t hold our Eastern peers in too high regard. We acknowledge that great people can change the course of history, but at the same time, we must also admit that there are always more ordinary people in this world."

"Haha–" Master Saint Chiao laughed heartily.

"Daisy, continue. What’s the connection between the magical artifacts that Eastern Mages and Divine Beasts excel at and your crazy idea of donating your Dragon Balls?" Liu continued focusing on the two Fairy Dragons.

"Fairy Dragons, because of Elemental Immunity, can’t cultivate any kind of magic nor accumulate a speck of Magic Power through meditation..." Ruona quickly cut in, "...For the highly perceptive Fairy Dragons, this is a huge pain!"

"I think that’s fair enough." Liu chuckled, "Fuck! If you Fairy Dragons could use magic, your intelligence would make you hugely successful. Coupled with your Elemental Immune constitution and Elemental Backlash ability, wouldn’t you just leave no room for other Mages to survive?"

"That’s what you think. In fact, we Fairy Dragons have always resented the fact that despite our exceptional talents, we have nowhere to display them. As for Nana and myself, if given the chance, we would definitely trade this damned Elemental Immunity constitution and Elemental Backlash ability for the opportunity to use magic outright!" Daisy said with an indignant tone, "Although I specialize in combat formations, I can’t even create a simple magic sand table, which frustrates me. Nana, who has studied Alchemy for years, must rely on others for some magical equipment that requires Magic Power to activate, and it’s been infuriating."
