Daily AFK life from a young dragon

Chapter 40 The Secret of Alchemy
"Your Highness, the rewards from the academy and the Minor Dragon Management Bureau have all arrived."

The ogre maid 'Pestoya', who looked 70% similar to the dragon man but was smaller in stature, directed several monster servants to move boxes into the dragon's nest room, and then reported to the black dragon in the center of the nest.

"Two sixth-rank water-type 'Giant Scale Water Monster' magic cores."

"A copy of the secret technique of enchanting steel."

"One hundred third-level magic stones."

"Also, from now on, your Highness will be provided with unlimited third-level monster flesh and blood, and an additional fourth-level monster will be provided every month."

At this point, Pestoya said with great joy, "Your Highness, congratulations on reaching the top."

After the ogre maid Pestoya and her monster servants left the dragon's nest room, the black dragon in the nest jumped down nimbly and landed silently in front of the three boxes like a big cat.

The dragon's tail left a trail of afterimage, and three boxes were pulled open, revealing the items inside.

There are two azure, thumb-sized magic cores, with water element energy flowing slowly inside. These should be the magic cores of the sixth-order giant-scaled water monster.

Including the sixth-level water arrow giant turtle magic core that was previously rewarded to Leon, Leon now has three sixth-level magic cores.

They are all water-attribute magic cores with the same properties as it, which help its growth.

"How generous! No wonder those young dragons in Dragon Castle fought so fiercely for the first position, regardless of their injuries." Leon marveled, his joy clearly visible on his dark dragon scale mask.

It looked at the other two boxes.

A yellowed page of parchment-like structure.

Leon used his mental power to bring the yellowed parchment to his eyes.

[Steel Enchanting Secret Technique]

[Introduction]: This secret technique is an alchemical secret technique. After learning it, mix steel and magic stone in a certain proportion, and then use the steel enchantment secret technique to smelt the mixture into magic steel.

Magic steel has the following properties: sharp, hard, and capable of breaking lower-level magic.

"The secret art of alchemy." Leonlong's eyes narrowed slightly.

Even in the dragon clan's heritage, the secret art of alchemy is a rare inheritance.

One reason is that the secrets of alchemy are too precious, and the other reason is that the secrets of alchemy are generally more difficult to learn and master than spells.

The prerequisites are more difficult to learn and master than spells. In addition, most alchemists are reluctant to pass on their secrets to others and may not even teach them to their own disciples. This has led to many powerful alchemical secrets disappearing and being buried in history over time.

From the dragon heritage, Leon also learned that in the ancient times of this world, there was an extremely glorious alchemy empire.

The inheritance records were already extremely vague, but just some fragmentary information was enough to shock Leon.

For example, intelligent alchemical creatures.

This is different from the dragon tooth soldiers created by the dragon. The dragon tooth soldiers are made of the souls of strong people and have wisdom. They are a kind of tricky creation.

However, alchemists in ancient times could give intelligence to a dead object out of thin air.

This is tantamount to creating a living being with one's own hands.

In addition, alchemical weapons with terrifying power and alchemical potions with special effects, just a few words of information recorded can make alchemists of today feel longing and enthusiasm.

Of course, this "Steel Enchanting Alchemy Secret" is not that exaggerated.

The 'magic steel' it refines can only be used to create some low-level alchemical weapons and equipment, which are suitable for use by creatures below the fourth level.

"With this alchemical secret, I am fully capable of creating an elite monster army wearing alchemical equipment." Leon thought to himself. The academy and the administration also gave him 100 third-level magic stones, which can be used to create a lot of third-level magic steel alchemical equipment.

By the way, its dragon-man follower 'Diugs' has been in Yulingze for a year and a half. He should have established a monster tribe by now, right?

Fish Lingze.

If you look down at the land, you can see thousands of water veins crisscrossing, which is fascinating.

Swamps, lakes, rivers, mountains, plains, valleys...all kinds of different scenes merge together to form the extremely complex and changeable environment of Yulingze.

Countless monsters, beasts, and demons live here.

Of course, the majority of creatures in Yulingze are water-attributed creatures.

The fish swam along the river and passed through the secret cave. Suddenly, the world changed and a hidden valley with birds singing and flowers blooming appeared before its eyes.

Whoosh!
The wooden fork was plunged into the water, skewering the fish. The Gray-Scaled Dragon Man casually threw the still twitching and struggling fat fish into the fish basket he was carrying behind him.

At this time, there were seven or eight fat fish in the basket, each weighing at least eight or nine pounds.

"That's enough. It's time to go back to the tribe." The gray-scaled dragon man turned his head and looked at the half-full fish basket. With the joy of harvest, he waded to the shore and walked towards the north.

Along the way, the Gray Scale Dragon Man occasionally met his fellow workers who were also doing the same thing. When they saw them finishing their work and going home, they all greeted them with envy.

"Bapu, you're lucky today."

"Haha, I happened to come across a fish nest." The gray-scaled dragon man named Bapu laughed.

Passing through a forest, a gnoll who was chopping trees saw Bapu carrying a fish basket. His dark green wolf eyes lit up, and he stopped chopping trees and shouted to the gray-scaled dragon man not far away,

"Bapu, remember to leave a fat fish for me!"

"Okay, I'll leave the fattest one for you." Bapu said with a smile.

As Bapu strode forward, he soon saw a tribe surrounded by five-meter-high wooden stakes in the distance.

Wooden stakes can defend against attacks from some low-level beasts.

Although this valley is hidden, wild animals come down from the distant mountains and forests from time to time.

In the beginning, when there was no wooden stake wall, many monster residents were injured in night attacks.

However, since the construction of this tall and sturdy wooden wall, there have been no more incidents of wild beast attacks at night.

Bapu squinted his eyes and walked into the tribe through the gate carrying a fish basket.

Rows of three or four-meter-high wooden houses are arranged in an orderly manner, and the road in the middle of the tribe is paved with gravel.

There were a large number of monsters traveling on the streets, including black-haired jackals and gray-scaled dragonmen. These two monster races were the most numerous.

In addition, there are a small number of swamp snakemen and dog-headed men.

Occasionally, you can see a dark figure that looks like a giant and is as tall as a wooden house passing by - that is a swamp troll.

"Lord Diugus is back! Lord Diugus is back!!"

The alert dog-headed man shouted loudly, attracting the attention of many monster residents, who cast their eager gazes towards the gate.

Not long after entering through the gate, Bapu, who had set up his stall, didn't care about the fish he had caught, and followed the monster residents to the side, peeking towards the gate, his expression unable to hide his anticipation and excitement.
