Chapter 343: Skinning and Boning: Dragon Crown, First of the Gods
An invisible aura that no one could see swept across the entire Tayapan in an instant.

Like countless experienced auditors, all the property of the city-state was registered and condensed into a huge golden treasure chest that appeared in front of Byron.

From a small animal bone needle to a large twelve-story pyramid, even the ownership of Crystal Skull No. 1 and the god Itsumna himself are all included.

Snapped!
The treasure chest opened automatically, revealing three fishing hooks with brilliant light, one purple, one gold, and one red.

When Byron saw them, he immediately realized that this was the level of treasure he could extract from Tayapan.

Among the three levels, purple is the highest and red is the lowest. The overall value added up is roughly the same as the stock price that you are about to "liquidate".

“My greatest contribution to this city-state is the life-saving vaccine I gave them when the smallpox epidemic was raging, which can be converted into an investment.

Although they paid me a 'monopoly right', its value was not equal to the lives of 70% of the city's population.

At that time, I thought that the priority should be to protect this huge ethnic group with a population of 1300 million, to contain the Castilian army, and then slowly plan for the benefits, so I offered a friendly price.

Moreover, in the actual implementation of the "monopoly right", there were many obstacles from the top leaders of Tayapan, and only a very small number of nobles joined the trade system.

That’s where all the overflow is.”

I think even the red fishing hook used to support the bottom should not be worth much.

But it takes a bit of luck to know what you can draw at the same level.

Byron rubbed his hands and was about to draw the lottery, but suddenly he thought of the "African" attribute that was deeply rooted in him since childhood.

Any game that relies on luck will most likely end in a miserable defeat, and I couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

Others don’t know that besides having a black heart and black hands, he also has a black face.

In the past, whenever there was a chance of luck like this, it was usually my sister Catherine, who was lucky enough to pick up money whenever she went out, who would take action.

Although Catherine is not here now, Violet's face should be white enough.

"Miss, do me a favor."

After a little explanation, Byron gave up his place.

The girl stepped forward and hesitated for a moment, then grabbed the least valuable red fishing hook and threw it towards the city.

"Bang" seemed to be the sound of a fishing line being tightened.

The next moment, the fishing hook was instantly retracted before the two men could see clearly what they had caught.

"Ow—!"

A shrill scream suddenly came from the battlefield in the center of the city.

However, the magic dragon, which had just been under the hail of bullets and the siege of a group of third-level extraordinary people and guardian spirits, and was still showing its might all the way, suddenly covered his chest and staggered backward.

With every step back, his aura weakened and his body shrank.

In just a few breaths, his body size shrunk by at least a quarter, and his majestic and domineering strength also shrunk by a quarter accordingly.

The speed, strength, and defense all dropped, and the breath of the five dragon heads became much more scattered.

Finally, even the dragon's body shape began to degenerate significantly, becoming closer to the bloated sub-dragon beast.

The pressure on the indigenous coalition forces was greatly reduced, and the momentum of the counterattack became more fierce.

"Did you see that red light just now? My prayers have been answered. This must be the power of the [Father of Medicine]!"

“The [Father of Medicine] who saved the entire Taino people is the true god.

When he returns to his place of honor after his death, I will kneel down and worship him every day, hoping that his head will soon become the fourteenth crystal skull of the Taya people."

"The dragon is no longer viable, come kill it with me!"

Under the leadership of [Conqueror] Cortes, nearly twenty third-level beast spirit warriors transformed into beasts from various city-states who participated in the war suddenly rushed forward.

Finally, the dragon started to get hurt, its scales were penetrated, its skin and flesh were injured, and blood was all over its body.

Byron looked down and saw that Violet was holding a red ball of light in her hands, with a ball of colorful liquid floating inside.

The girl's pair of cute big sapphire eyes couldn't help but widen:

"Is this the dragon blood in its body?"

Moreover, it is the five-colored dragon blood that has been purified by the incarnation of the [God].

Even if it is still not as good as a real dragon, it is already extremely precious in this era when real dragons have long been extinct.

If placed in any religious sect's taboo rituals, it would definitely be first-rate supernatural material.

And the sweet smell of blood also made Byron excited, no, his appetite was aroused.

The Night Demon's instinct told him that it would be a great tonic if he could have a sip.

Not only is it beneficial to the Night Demon's power enhancement, but with the benefits brought by [Infinite Evolutionist], it can also greatly increase the blue dragon veins in the body, and also embark on a path of reversion to the ancestral realm.

But now is not the time.

Suppressing the surging appetite in his heart, Byron nodded to Violet:
"Put it away for now. When we return, I will use this dragon blood to engrave the fifth curse seal on you. I will drink the rest later."

"Ok."

After going out with Byron, the promotion ceremony of "Deep Sea Origin" was advanced to five-sixths. The girl's eyebrows suddenly curved and she smiled like a little fox.

On the other hand, at the critical moment of the war, the dragon was deeply stripped of its "core assets" that were related to its upper limit of strength and used them to pay off debts. This is a hundred times more cruel than the capital market!
The major shareholder suddenly withdrew his investment, which was a complete disaster. Even if he could have won originally, he was doomed to fail now.

It can be said that the relic [First Stock] is a perfect match for Byron, the "number one confidant" and "professional traitor".

As long as you work hard, you will be rewarded. No one should expect him to work for nothing.

Even the PUA method of "work hard and I'll marry you a sister-in-law next year" will never happen to Byron. Even if the day comes when his brother marries a sister-in-law, it's still uncertain who this beautiful sister-in-law will end up being.

"Again."

With the successful experience of the first extraction, the two people became more excited.

Violet rubbed her hands together solemnly and prayed to Woden, the "God of the Wild Hunt", before throwing out the golden fishing hook again.

"Bang!" The fishing line was released and then reeled in again.

But this time, the dragon on the opposite side did not show any obvious changes.

However, when casting breath or other dragon magic, it seemed to be a lot slower. He always had to stop and think for a while before he could cast some appropriate magic under instinctive control.

His breathing became intermittent, and he felt awkward all over.

"What's happening here?"

While Byron was stunned, Violet had already punctured the golden ball of light in her hand, releasing a dragon-shaped aura with hundreds of heads.

Byron stretched out his hand and touched it lightly, and the dragon-shaped aura turned into a forbidden book and fell into his heart.

"《How to breed a flying dragon》, "How to breed a purgatory dragon》, "How to breed a crypt rock dragon》, "How to breed a colorful dragon lizard".
This is actually the "Crown of the Dragon", the core part of the black magic "Book of Beast Families" (Volume 1) practiced by [God] Itsumna?
It is also the most complete original version that is closest to the source of knowledge and can directly lead to the [Bloodline Original Codex] of mythical creatures and even the divine realm! "

The Ladder of Glory develops with the times, becoming more powerful as time goes by; the opposite is true for Forbidden Knowledge, which becomes stronger as time goes by and the closer it is to the source of knowledge.

Although the knowledge in Byron's hand does not carry the corresponding power like the [Pawnbroker] card, it is also one of the most powerful black magic books in the entire Bantaan Islands.

After taking a quick glance at the contents, he found that it was exactly as [Piercing Prince] Tsepesh had said when his bloodline was sublimated:
"The top of the food chain in the human kingdom is a feast for dragons and night demons."

The dragon's promotion ceremony and the night demon's ceremony both have the prerequisite of being a "rentier, exploiter, and bloodthirsty". The higher the status as a human, the purer the bloodline in the dragon vein will be.

Otherwise, you are not qualified to become a dragon.

“Look at the dragon’s sluggish appearance. It is fighting more and more like a crude beast. It seems that only the essence of a mythical creature remains, but this piece of knowledge has been forgotten?
It turns out that the extraction of this kind of knowledge category is not copy and paste, but cut and paste?

The intellectual property protection is so strong that if I take away this part of the technology as a share, they can’t use it anymore?

This is simply the magic skill of all intellectual property rights holders!"

While feeling emotional, Byron had also found the most suitable owner for the forbidden book named "Crown of the Dragon".

The entire "Book of Beast Families" (Volume 1) talks about the forbidden knowledge of using various beast souls to complete the transformation of one's life essence.

A specific powerful beast soul + corresponding knowledge is equal to [such-and-such beast spirit warrior], and both are indispensable.

Leopard Warrior, Tiger Warrior, Frog Warrior, Dragon Lizard Warrior are all products of this knowledge system.

The Dragon Crown also records many dark sorcery paths that are far more powerful than the five-colored dragon lizards, and there are even real dragon warriors.

However, it is precisely because the colorful dragon lizards of the Bantaan Islands are easier to obtain and can be artificially bred that the [Dragon Lizard Warriors] have flourished.

In other words, although knowledge is valuable, high-quality beast soul resources are even more rare.

If there is no corresponding powerful dragon soul, this "Dragon Crown" is just a standard dragon-slaying technique.

The best dragon species available to the natives, the colorful dragon lizard, is even inferior to Byron's own Night Devil's Path, which greatly reduces the value of this book.

But who made sister Catherine's [Mithril Dragon]'s title special effect called [Mithril Dragon Soul]?

A genuine mithril dragon soul, along with the title, entered her body.

If nothing unexpected happens, when Catherine's life ends in the future, the mithril dragon soul will be recovered by the collective subconscious sea.

But now it's different.

With the help of this forbidden book "Dragon Crown", Catherine can completely keep the "Mithril Dragon Soul" that comes with the title for herself forever!
Let her complete the dream transformation from a human to a true Mithril Dragon from the depths of her blood.

"It's no longer a hard Mithril Dragon to ride, but a fragrant and soft Mithril Dragon Girl. Just thinking about it makes me look forward to it."

A "Dragon Knight" who was determined to rebel against Tiangang suppressed his excitement and looked at the treasure chest again.

At this time, the most valuable purple fishing hook is still left unused.

The first two draws had already made Byron very satisfied. The dragon blood and the forbidden book had brought him, Violet, and his sister considerable gains.

On the other hand, the dragon, which had been weakened twice in a row, was now like a trapped beast, and its counterattack became increasingly powerless.

However, now all the extraordinary people in the entire city-state have merged with the incarnation of the [God] Itsumna, and the most valuable wealth in the entire city-state has also been concentrated.

It’s not that they want to catch a dragon and pull it out, the key is that there is nowhere to pull it out.

Byron stood in the air, looking down at the dragon that was under siege and roaring angrily, and whispered to comfort him:
"Even though you look miserable, don't scream yet. You can scream together when we draw another hand."

Nodding to Violet, the latter immediately cast out the last purple hook.

"Bang!" Another trembling sound of the fishing line being tightened was heard.

"Ow—!"

As the dragon roared brutally, its horns, fangs, scales and wings quickly degenerated and disappeared.

Only ordinary lizard and human features remained.

The two men were stunned when they saw this scene. They didn't understand what was going on in this scene that was like skinning, bone removal, and tendon extraction.

Look at the invisible and intangible yet heavy ball of light in Violet’s hand.

The spiritual light flowed and gradually condensed into the shape of a golden divine crown.

It turned out to be the nature spirit, the Lord of Heaven, the god Itsumna, the highest status among the patron saints of the Taya civilization - [Chief of the Gods]!
