Supreme Dragon Seal

Chapter 97: Dragon Scale

Mi Qi looked at Qi Beis ugly expression and giggled. These are the materials needed for the top-grade Skybreaking Armor. After millions of years of change, many materials that were rare back then are now common, while some that were common then are now extinct.

What does that matter? I dont have the ability to gather these materials anyway, Qi Bei shrugged.

I just said that this is the material needed for the top-grade Skybreaking Armor. The materials for the middle-grade armor are also quite hard to find, but its relatively easy to gather the materials for the lower-grade armor, Mi Qi said slyly.

Qi Beis eyes lit up. The lower-grade Skybreaking Armor should have at least the strength of an Intermediate warrior in terms of attack and defense alone. Thats just the equipment; the soldiers own attacks and cooperative combat tactics would make their combat strength much more terrifying than the Black Armored Army.

Mi Qi wrote down the materials needed for the middle-grade and lower-grade Skybreaking Armor and handed them to Qi Bei.

Wrought iron, lower-grade purple gold sand, black ironwood, sunflower, Qi Bei glanced at the materials for the lower-grade Skybreaking Armor. Indeed, most of these were ordinary materials, and some were even plants. However, he had never heard of using plants to make weapons and armor.

Qi Bei calculated that the materials needed to make one lower-grade Skybreaking Armor would cost about ten thousand gold coins, and with the lower-grade magic crystal stones embedded in it, the cost would be about twenty thousand gold coins per armor. If he wanted to equip ten thousand people, he would need two billion gold coins, and the magic crystal stones were consumables.

In other words, if this army was to be prepared for battle at all times, they would need to replace the magic crystal stones at least five times. One round of replacement cost one billion gold coins, so five rounds would cost five billion. Adding the initial cost of two billion, it would cost a total of seven billion gold coins.

The current monthly income of West Spirit City was about sixty million gold coins, and after deducting expenses, they could save about ten million a year, just less than a hundred million gold coins.

They needed more money.

Mi Qi, how long does it take to make one armor? Qi Bei asked.

I need a group of blacksmiths and carvers to make the parts separately, and I will fuse the materials and do the final assembly. If I make ten at a time, it will take about ten days to two weeks to fuse the materials and another ten days to two weeks for assembly, plus a month for carving, so it will take about two months to make ten armors, Mi Qi said.

Qi Bei nodded. Two months for ten armors was not slow, and he could start equipping himself slowly.

City Lord Mi Qi spoke up again, hesitantly.

Whats the matter? Speak up, Qi Bei said.

Its nothing Mi Qi shook her head.

Qi Bei didnt want to pursue the matter, so he called in Lone Eye and gave him the list of materials needed for the lower-grade Skybreaking Armor, asking him to gather them.

As the Orc army outside the city retreated, it seemed that the heavens were also happy to have spared West Spirit City from disaster.

The wind stopped, the snow retreated, and the sun once again shone upon the earth.

Merchants came into the city for trade, and the adventurers groups also became active.

Qi Bei was also very happy. Once the commercial activities in West Spirit City increased, it meant that many industries in the city would begin to make profits, and industry profits meant that gold coins would come rolling in for him.

He needed money now to make the low-grade Skybreaking Armor, and to provide for the tens of thousands of soldiers. Although West Spirit City was known as a small commercial kingdom, the territory and industries were limited. If he wanted to get rich, he had to find other ways.

Qi Bei pondered as he walked on the streets of West Spirit City shrouded in darkness.

In a daze, he found himself in front of Murong Xingchens clinic.

However, to Qi Beis surprise, the clinics door was tightly closed, and there was no light on the second floor.

Strange, where did she go? Qi Bei wondered. He jumped up and flew to the window on the second floor. He used his internal energy to shake the sheath in the window open and then pushed the window to enter.

However, Murong Xingchens room was empty.

Qi Bei sat at the head of her bed, his eyebrows lightly furrowed. Was she hiding from him?

Qi Beis eyes scanned the room until they landed on the wooden cabinet beside the bed.  There were two messy characters carved on it, and they had been scratched out, but they could still be recognized as Qi and Bei.

Qi Beis lips curled up into a smile. He reached out to touch it and seemed to see Murong Xingchen lying restlessly, with scattered thoughts, unconsciously carving his name on this cabinet with her spatial power. However, when she realized it halfway through, she suddenly reacted and scratched out the unfinished name.

Why did you run away? Is it because of your legs and poison physique? Qi Bei wondered in his heart.

Obviously, Murong Xingchen had some feelings for him, but she had been avoiding him and carrying a heavy burden.

The Moon Elf was originally a royal family of the Elf race, but she came to this chaotic West Spirit City with only three maids, Yan Ling, Ru Feng, and Piao Xue, and created such a force as Starfall. This reason must not be so simple.

Qi Bei wanted to get to know her better, but she had been running away.

At this moment, Qi Beis eyes suddenly brightened up. Last time Yan Ling came to find him, she inexplicably said that he should be good to Murong Xingchen. This meant that the three maids agreed that he and Murong Xingchen should be together. So, could he start from them?

As he thought of this, Qi Beis mood became relaxed. He leaped out of bed, ready to leave.

But just then, Qi Beis body stiffened. After landing, he looked at Murong Xingchens simple wooden bed. Just now, the Dragon Seal in his hand reacted, and the internal energy of the Divine Dragon Art was stirred up.

True Dragon Qi Qi Beis pupils shrank. This was the first time he had sensed dragon qi other than himself in this world, The True Dragon Qi was similar to the internal energy of Divine Dragon Art. Although it was very weak, it was indeed the qi of a real dragon.

Qi Bei came to Murong Xingchens bedside again, touched the place where he had just supported himself with his hand, and then lifted the bedding.

On the bed frame, Qi Bei found a palm-sized indentation with faint patterns on it. He covered it with his left hand, and the Dragon Seal reacted again.

Could this be a dragon scale? Qi Bei murmured.

Real dragons only existed in legends in this world, and dragon scales passed down were rare. It was understandable that Murong Xingchen, as a noble Moon Elf, had a dragon scale, but why did she place it under the bedding? Looking at the naturally formed indentation and the lingering dragon qi, it seemed to have been here for a long time.

Qi Bei restored the bedding and left with some doubts.
