Chapter 984: Chapter 241: Chaos Emerges

"Ha ha..." Master Puskas threw his head back, bursting into hearty laughter, "Richard, of course Dragon Knights aren’t a trifle. I was just joking with you. Look at you, you almost took it seriously."

"Old man, let’s make a deal." Jingyu caressed the Ning Yu in his arms, a sly smile spreading across his face, as he brought Joan of Arc out as a shield. "Both of us know that Dragon Balls aren’t ordinary items. Let’s set a trap together and get our hands on the Dragon Knights’ Dragon Balls. I don’t want a single one; give them all to Joan of Arc. Think about it, old man. With Ning Yu’s ability to ’Search Li and Retrieve Beads,’ there would be no life-threatening danger to the Dragon Knights’ mounts at all! Those Dragon Balls are just a waste sitting in their heads, better taken out to benefit Joan of Arc."

"You, young man, are quite courageous when it involves others," Master Puskas rolled his eyes thoughtfully and smacked his lips. "But then again, I’m also curious---what kind of change would occur in a Dragon Clan’s magical power if a Dragon Ball were taken from its brain? Would it be a qualitative or a quantitative change, or would there be no change at all?"

"No change at all seems unlikely, doesn’t it?" Jingyu laughed; he could sense the old man’s intense thirst for knowledge.

"Logically speaking, there must be both Dragon Crystals and Dragon Balls in the heads of the Dragon Clan. Like the crystal nucleus of ordinary Magical Beasts, Dragon Crystals are undoubtedly sources of magical power. But what kind of elemental power does a Dragon Ball contain? I’m very curious about the four major pearl-producing magical creatures such as dragons, snakes, turtles, and clams. I don’t know much about them. It’s also odd, why are Ruona and Daisy so sure that once the Dragon Ball is removed from their lower jaws, you two can learn magic?" Master Puskas looked at the two Fairy Dragons, then bitterly smiled. "Unfortunately, there’s no historical precedent, so it’s impossible to know for sure. I know Richard would never conduct such experiments, which is a pity... For a Mage specialized in magic research, the unknown that cannot be explored is indeed a great pain for our curiosity."

The gathering of emerald Mages burst into laughter, clearly agreeing deeply with the Master’s words.

"I won’t conduct experiments, but we can still ask the experts’ opinions first," Jingyu chuckled, clasping Ning Yu tightly, addressing Master Saint Chiao, "My idea is to summon those two Dragon Knights first, and then proceed accordingly. Lampard is a decent guy; I’ll be somewhat nicer to him. As for that Gaxia, ha, a Fourth-rank Jade Dragon, damn, not extracting the Dragon Ball would be a crime..."

"Don’t you start," Master Puskas raised an eyebrow, his face breaking into a smile as he looked at Ning Yu, "Young lady, could you tell me, what exactly is the difference between pearls and Magic Crystals? Especially for Magical Beasts like turtles and snakes that possess both pearls and Magic Crystals, what’s the difference?"

"Master, the intricacies here can’t be explained in a moment or two. I’ll use the Fairy Dragon as an example. In Eastern legends, the Li Pearls extracted from the mandible of the Black Dragon of the abyss have the magic power of immunity to all poisons. Thus, if a Li Pearl is removed from a Fairy Dragon in Aegean, the Dragon Ball must also have a special effect. My hesitation in drawing a conclusion is because the Dragon Clan of the East and the Giant Dragons of the Aegean seem not to belong to the same lineage. In the East, the Dragon Clan exists only in legend; mortals have never seen them with their own eyes, unlike in Aegean. Here, the Dragon Clan, though rare, has been witnessed by many; the Mo Shao Clan has no experience in obtaining Dragon Balls in Aegean, so I cannot be 100% sure. If the Li Pearls obtained from Fairy Dragons also possess detoxifying properties..." Ning Yu lifted her face, her eyes shimmering, "However, according to our Mo Shao Clan’s years of research on pearls and the various kinds of snake pearls collected by Richard, I’m still confident enough to make an accurate conclusion. In Aegean, whether it’s Turtle Beads or Snake Pearls, the effects they have after being extracted match the special or original abilities of these Magical Beasts; as for Magic Crystals, as you said Master, they undoubtedly are the source for the release and storage of a Magical Beast’s Magical Power; thus, about the effects of Aegean Dragon Balls, I am 90% confident in determining the correct conclusion."

"My dear girl, allow me to ask presumptuously..." Master Puskas asked curiously, "When your noble Mo Shao Clan was in the East, did you often obtain Li Pearls from the mandible of the Eastern Black Dragon in the abyss?"

"That’s not possible, respected Master," Ning Yu said with a sunny smile. "Didn’t I say that in the Silk Continent, the Dragon Clan is something of legend, and those who could truly see a dragon are extremely rare? It’s not like in Aegean. Although dragons are rare here, many have seen them; the so-called ’Search Li and Retrieve the Bead’ actually means that our Mo Shao Clan would dive into the Bottomless Abyss to retrieve pearls from the jaws of Flood Dragons. These pearls, known within the industry as ’Sui Pearls,’ are not from true dragons but are akin to Giant Snakes, classified under Dragon-kind. Aside from dragons, snakes, turtles, and clams, other pearl-producing creatures include centipedes, spiders, toads, eels, and Eel Loaches, although acquiring these pearls requires serendipity and is hence particularly precious. Lord Mourinho once said, within his territory, there are Iron-winged Swans with Fire Pu Pearls hidden in their gullets; though this is just the swan accidentally swallowing a pearl while feeding on oysters, it was also an eye-opener for me."
