I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

Those are dragon hunters.

This group is positioned similarly to bounty hunters and mercenaries.

Their daily work involved hunting dragons with silver weapons and then collecting rewards.

If you pay a dragon hunter, they'll do anything related to dragons!

At this moment, not long after the siege by the dragons, there weren't many people walking around in the guild, and many of them were still injured and talking about something.

When Duanmu Lian pushed open the door and walked in, the noisy guild immediately quieted down.

There are many survivors here from the battlefield of the dragons, and the things they talk about are the events of the battlefield a few days ago.

And whenever the battle from the day before yesterday is mentioned, it's impossible to avoid the presence of Duanmu Lian.

Therefore, when Duanmu Lian entered the guild, everyone's eyes were openly or secretly focused on him.

Duanmu Lian wasn't socially awkward at all; she simply assumed the monkey was watching her and proceeded to the reception window without any hesitation.

"Excuse me, I need to issue a task to collect dragon body materials!"

"Huh? Okay, okay!!!"

The service window lady sitting behind the guild counter was a little nervous when she saw Duanmu Lian, after all, the other party was quite famous in this town.

The woman sitting by the window immediately took out a piece of paper and began to carry out the task as instructed by Duanmu Lian.

He needs a dragon corpse that hasn't been completely destroyed by the silver energy.

Dragon blood, dragon heart, dragon brain, and other internal organs all need to be intact.

Of course, it would also be acceptable if someone could capture some lower-ranking dragons alive.

In terms of compensation, it depends on the completeness and rarity of the materials.

After the deposit was paid, the task notice was completed.

However, before the guild members went to post the notice, Duanmu Lian needed their help with one more thing.

"You want us to help you advertise?"

The young lady serving Duanmu Lian at the window looked surprised.

Although I don't understand what kind of advertising Duanmu Lian wants to do, as long as the other party pays, everything is negotiable.

However, before that, they need to know what kind of advertisement it is. If it's something that's explicitly prohibited, their guild won't be able to accept it.

"Yes, weapons advertisement. Please tell all the dragon hunters who help me collect dragon materials that I have weapons that contain the energy of the sun. If they do a good job and perform well, I can give them a discount on the weapons I sell here."

As she spoke, Duanmu Lian placed the several weapons she had prepared and carried on her back on the counter and handed them to the woman in front of the window.

He believed that many people, when cleaning up the battlefield, found that the dragons he had killed were either reduced to ashes or had charred wounds.

It's just that because of Duanmu Lian's power, not many people dared to come up and ask.

"A weapon imbued with the power of the sun!?"

Upon seeing the weapon that Duanmu Lian handed over, the young lady inside the window immediately widened her eyes.

Because of her loud voice, many dragon hunters in the guild turned to look at her with curiosity.

No wonder the young lady at the window was shocked; there are only two ways to kill a dragon in this world.

Silverware with a silvery sheen, and the sun in the sky.

The silvery sheen on silver weapons is due to the presence of silver in the metal used to manufacture them.

Then what are weapons that contain the energy of the sun? They had never heard of them before.

"You can take it and try it first."

Seeing the surprise and uncertainty in the woman's eyes through the window, Duanmu Lian, who had anticipated this, calmly raised her hand to indicate that she could give it a try.

Previously, he had collected a large amount of Gorilla Crimson Sand Iron and Gorilla Crimson Ore in the Demon Slayer world.

After returning to the interior of the space, he also studied the structure of this iron ore and was already able to mass-produce this material that had absorbed sunlight using alchemy.

On the counter is the Solar Armor, which Duanmu Lian created using alchemy to produce Crimson Sand Iron, and then used sunlight produced by sunflowers in Plants vs. Zombies as a material.

Before he arrived, he had already tested this weapon on the dragon's corpse.

Its targeted killing power is even better than using a Nichirin Blade to slay demons.

"excuse me."

The woman inside the window immediately picked up the weapon in front of her and walked towards the guild's interior.

She couldn't make this decision alone; she had to consult her superiors.

Not long after, the woman from before came over with a one-eyed old man with gray hair but a strong physique.

With an excited expression on his aged face, he approached Duanmu Lian and said to her in an excited tone:

"Sir, I am the guild leader of the branch. We accept your request and will help you promote this weapon. Could you please sell some of these weapons to our guild?"

The branch president was extremely excited at this moment, and he was still skeptical when the woman brought the weapon to him.

But when the woman revealed that the weapon was sold by Duanmu Lian, who had recently driven the dragon out of the city, he took the weapons and tested them on the dragon corpses stored in the guild.

As a result, when the weapon struck the dragon's corpse, it immediately turned to ashes.

The old guild leader was also a dragon hunter in his youth. He harbored a deep hatred for dragons because of the death of someone important to him, and he even dragged a dragon out to be exposed to the sun when hunting it.

Therefore, he had witnessed many times how dragons turned to ashes in the sunlight.

He couldn't be wrong; the dragon attacked by the weapon provided by Duanmu Lian was just like one scorched by the sun.

Besides silverware, with such weapons imbued with the power of the sun, casualties in dragon hunting will be greatly reduced in the future.

He believed that whether people hunted dragons for money or out of hatred, this weapon would inevitably become the mainstream weapon for dealing with dragons, just like silverware!

"Sure, besides buying with money, you can trade me materials from the dragons. And who knows, I might even develop armor specifically for dragons..."

Duanmu Lian nodded. He had deliberately intended to sell weapons that contained the power of the sun.

Money is secondary; what's important is the continuous supply of materials from the dragon.

He could continuously create solar weapons through alchemy, and then form an industry chain with the dragon hunters, who would provide him with research materials such as dragons.

Another point is that he also set his sights on the high-ranking dragon who stands at the pinnacle of the demon bloodline.

In this world, besides those dragons that are like beasts, there are also the six great vampire clans at the pinnacle of dragons.

The six major vampire clans are named after the various limbs or characteristics of a dragon's body.

The Winged Blood Clan, the Roaring Blood Clan, the Bone Blood Clan, the Eye Blood Clan, the Scale Blood Clan, and the Claw and Fang Blood Clan.

Besides these six major vampire clans, Duanmu Lian also focused some attention on human organizations on the front lines of the fight against the dragons.

That is the [Sun God Cult].

According to the intelligence he possessed, this was the world's strongest dragon-slaying organization.

Furthermore, they possess advanced technology and magical powers, and their influence has spread to many countries.

The weapon imbued with the power of the sun was the bait used by Duanmu Lian to make contact with this organization.

As more and more people use the solar weapons created by Duanmu Lian.

I believe it won't be long before the Sun God Cult takes the initiative to contact Duanmu Lian.

Of course, Duanmu Lian was also prepared to attract the dragon clan.

So no matter which one comes to his door, he will happily accept them.

If the Sun God Cult came knocking first, that would be fine. But if the Dragon Clan came knocking first, it would save Duanmu Lian the trouble of actively searching for experimental subjects.

............

“Dalian, I feel like there’s something wrong with the dragons in this world.”

In a secluded mountain cave, Duanmu Lian, who had established the base, began her research on the dragons of this world.

After studying it for a while, he quickly discovered that the dragons in this world were very strange.

Well, the dragons in this world are not like the dragons that Duanmu Lian knew.

Leaving aside the fact that it has drawbacks similar to vampires, the power contained in the dragon cells of this world is like a special kind of meme virus.

This means that dragon blood can infect and assimilate others, just like vampires do.

Of course, in other worlds, there are also those who have come into contact with dragon blood or consumed dragon blood and gained dragon power.

But the dragons in this world are far more terrifying than viruses in terms of assimilation and infectivity.

No, it has already exceeded the scope of viral infection.

Duanmu Lian was not surprised that dragon blood infected and assimilated carbon-based life forms.

But the dragon blood he purified and refined showed signs of assimilating silicon-based life forms, which was outrageous.

Duanmu Lian has a lot of knowledge about dragons, after all, there are also a lot of dragon materials sealed in the experimental area in his space.

For example, the five dragon species of Azeroth in World of Warcraft, the dragon species in Monster Hunter World, the dragons in Fairy Tail World, the flying dragons in How to Train Your Dragon World, the dragons in the Dragon Raja universe, the dragons in the D&D world, the dragons in the Arad continent of DNF...

Duanmu Lian has seen all kinds of dragons, including those with an Eastern style.

In fact, many Duanmu Lians throughout history have used dragon bodies as their own.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration for him to call himself Professor Dragon.

What kind of dragon hadn't 'he' seen before?

I've never seen a dragon in this world before!

"Roar----!"

At this moment, Duanmu Lian's lips twitched slightly. He looked at the mechanical dragon sealed within the restraint field, roaring angrily at him, and his feelings were complicated.

He used a small portion of the energy spark and transforming metal—the same special metal used to create Transformers—to create a miniature Transformer.
