My front door leads to a comic strip

Half an hour later, Gu Yuan rode the dragon back to town, immediately causing a huge uproar among the crowd.

"Hey, have you heard? That dragon... no, that dragon's child actually..."

Many people are worried about this, fearing that the dragon might pose a potential threat unintentionally.

However, many more people expressed their sincere admiration for Gu Yuan.

After all, this was the first time in their lives that humans had successfully tamed a monster, a feat that many swordsmen considered the greatest honor.

Gu Yuan, who triggered this chain reaction, was quietly staying in his hotel room, completely unaware of the commotion outside.

On the second floor of the hotel, he was intently organizing his loot.

One of the minerals, about the size of a fist and emitting a faint blue light, caught his attention.

"Magic Ore".

Gu Yuan muttered to himself, raising his eyes to look at Millie Alde, who was sitting opposite him, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and spoke softly.

"Miliarde, are you sure a weapon made from this ore can absorb magic for combat?"

"I've only ever heard of the Demon Sealing Mine."

【Sealed Magic Ore】is a type of ore in the comic that restricts the use of magic.

Once a mage comes into contact with it, even someone as powerful as Frilian will have all her magical power sealed away.

Milie Alder nodded slightly, her gaze fixed on the ore, her tone certain:

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Although there is only a one-word difference between magic-absorbing ore and magic-sealing ore, their effects are worlds apart."

"You don't have any magic, right? I can infuse you with magic."

"Now you can use magic too, although it's only a one-time use."

"The question now is, where can we build it?"

Miliald was a magician who had never met a blacksmith before, so she naturally didn't know the location or prices.

However, being a well-traveled elf, recognizing the ore was nothing to her.

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Oh, I see. Go ask the shopkeeper; the price shouldn't be too outrageous."

"The five hundred gold coins I got from the dragon's lair should be enough."

He patted the money pouch at his waist, then looked away from the magic-absorbing ore.

Having lost the magic that Miliald had previously instilled in it, the blue light of the ore is gradually dimming.

Gu Yuan reached out and picked up a crystal ball, tossed it in his palm, feeling its weight, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes:

"The Mage's Eye, what a wonderful thing! As long as you infuse it with magic, you can see things twenty kilometers away and even become invisible..."

"Even among all magical artifacts, it's considered to be of exceptionally high quality."

Magicians of this era cannot fly like birds; when encountering continuous forests, they can only rely on experience to find their way.

Admittedly, there are drones, but those things can't hide. If they encounter a flying monster, they'll be gone in a flash.

In comparison, magical artifacts are clearly more versatile.

I'm sure I'll find it useful in the future.

Millie Alder nodded in agreement, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

She thought to herself, "After traveling with Gu Yuan for so long, I've finally found something useful for me."

Just as she reached out and was about to touch it, Gu Yuan suddenly withdrew his hand and picked up the third item instead.

Swish!

This is a dagger, its silver blade gleaming with a cold light.

After identification, its full name is "Dagger that can break down any food", making it an essential gadget for home and travel.

Users can easily break down ingredients into the desired shape simply by picking them up, even without any experience.

Similar to Bear Grylls' knife, it tastes like chicken and is crunchy, but unfortunately, there's no added flavor.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this is a conceptual weapon... If I consider dragons as food, could it be used to disassemble them?"

"As expected, there are no bad magical items, only bad users."

"Now I understand why Frillian is so obsessed with treasure hunting."

Gu Yuan stroked the dagger, his fingers tightening slightly, his heart filled with emotion and anticipation.

He couldn't suppress the urge to give it a try.

And in the instant he made that connection,

The red dragon in the stable downstairs suddenly twitched its nose twice, then sneezed loudly, and shook its head restlessly.

The sound terrified the surrounding animals, who huddled in a corner, even the most docile pack donkeys frantically pawing at the ground with their hooves.

In the end, however, Gu Yuan loosened his grip, gently placed the dagger on the ground, and sighed.

then.

"Equip it now, we can try again if we encounter other dragons along the way."

"We'll set off tomorrow and aim to reach the edge of the central continent within a month."

Gu Yuan then tucked the dagger into his waistband, patted it, and picked up the Magician's Eye, handing it to Miliald.

Afterwards, he stood up, holding the [Mana-Absorbing Ore], and turned to go downstairs:

"I'll go ask about the blacksmith shop."

As Gu Yuan walked downstairs through the lobby, the proprietress was wiping the counter with a rag. When she saw Gu Yuan coming over, she immediately greeted him with a smile.

After learning the location of the blacksmith's shop in the city and finding out that the forging fee for this type of weapon was three hundred gold coins, Gu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, we have enough money.

However, considering the time and craftsmanship involved, he decided not to produce it in this location.

Blacksmiths in the Central Continent have more access to rare and precious treasures, so their forging techniques should be more advanced.

He needs a more powerful weapon; the evolved demon sword is just the beginning.

"Let's go." Gu Yuan put away the ore and turned to walk back.

As he passed the stable, he glanced at the Red Mirror Dragon, patted its neck, and said:

"Feed it more so it can grow bigger, and then it will be faster when it runs tomorrow."

He suddenly remembered something, turned to Miliald and asked:

"By the way, what about that horse?"

For some reason, he remembered a scene from a novel where the protagonist changed his mount and then immediately ate the mount that had been with him for a long time.

The main theme is ruthlessness.

Milie Aldet followed behind him, her voice calm and gentle:

"Don't worry, I've already found a buyer. It will be used for transportation within the city."

"Although it's been tough, it's been worth the months of companionship it's provided, since its owner wouldn't abandon it so easily."

"Shall we go out?" Gu Yuan nodded, thinking that this arrangement was not bad.

He had several dozen kilograms of cooked meat prepared, mixed with a magical potion, and poured them into the Red Mirror Dragon's feeding trough.

The little guy was already starving, and as soon as he smelled the aroma of the food, he began to wolf it down.

In just a short while, its body visibly grew even larger, and its original height of two and a half meters seemed to have increased by another foot.

Now nearly three meters tall, it can run at a speed of 15 meters per second and doesn't need to take detours when encountering special terrain.

Even if it only flies for a few dozen seconds, it's enough to cross treacherous terrain like cliffs.

In a single day, traveling over a hundred kilometers is not out of the question.

Gu Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion—the long march of more than three thousand miles was finally coming to an end.

I wonder what kind of scenery awaits me in the Central Continent.

Will I be able to meet Celie?

He looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street and let out a soft sigh.
