Minori was digesting the power contained in the dragon blood in his body, while carefully watching the changes in the three values on the attribute panel.
Boom!
Boom!
The sound of his heart beating was extremely powerful, and the power of the dragon blood seemed to speed up the blood flow throughout his body.
With every breath.
Minori spewed out a heat from his nostrils, but it was not obvious in the already high-temperature environment.
Every ten or twenty seconds, at irregular intervals.
The values of HP, physical defense, and magic defense would increase accordingly.
However, compared to the increase in HP, the other two attributes increased much more slowly.
About 20 minutes passed.
The sound of Minori's heart beating powerfully gradually softened, and upon careful perception, the strong warm current in his body also dissipated.
"The effect of 'Dragon Blood' has been completely absorbed."
Minori's eyes moved, he exhaled a heat from his mouth, and his whole body was like he had just had a sauna, with wisps of steam coming out.
...
'HP: 450→478'
'Physical Defense: 249→260'
'Magic Defense: 264→275'
...
The change in values had stabilized again. Besides the 28-point increase in HP, the other two values only increased by 11 points.
"The improved attributes are not obvious. Is it because my own level is already high?"
Minori thought to himself. He remembered that the Kuro had only licked a small amount of dragon blood, and its aura had obviously strengthened.
He looked at the passive skills on the [Ability List].
Before this, after he was stained with dragon blood, he gained the passive skills "Fire Resistance (1%)" and "Poison Resistance · Weak".
Due to the appearance of "Fire Nullification", the effect of "Fire Resistance (1%)" had disappeared.
However, "Poison Resistance · Weak" had not disappeared. The dragon blood he had just drunk did not strengthen this passive skill.
Minori looked towards the dwarves. Seeing that this group of dwarven craftsmen were still discussing intensely, he took out the water bag containing dragon blood from his item box again and drank it all in one gulp.
The three basic values began to increase again!
"The effect is weakening."
After the effect was completely absorbed, Minori compared the changes in values. His expression remained unchanged, and he took out another water bag filled with dragon blood.
He had used seven water bags to collect the dragon blood that had spilled on the ground. Compared to the ancient Red Dragon's massive size.
The dragon blood that Minori had drunk so far could only be described as a "trace amount".
After drinking the third portion of dragon blood.
Minori once again felt that the strong warm current had weakened a lot, and he could observe it more clearly through the changes in the values on the attribute panel.
...
'HP: 478→530 (41%)'
'Physical Defense: 260→280 (22%)'
'Magic Defense: 275→295 (23%)'
...
"This time was shorter, and the benefit effect has completely disappeared." Minori slightly opened his eyes, revealing a gleam.
Judging by his own feelings, he had determined that continuing to drink "Dragon Blood" would no longer increase his attributes.
The overall increase in values was: HP 81 points, physical defense 31 points, and magic defense 31 points.
"An unexpected surprise. Calculated using high-level class levels, the HP value alone has increased by five levels out of thin air, and physical defense and magic defense have increased by two levels."
Minori secretly thought with some surprise. Should he say that the "Dragon Race" is a treasure trove from head to toe?
The only thing that surprised him was that "Poison Resistance · Weak" had not changed at all.
...
Passive: Poison Resistance · Weak
Effect: Suitable for resisting weak toxins (≈ less than 10Lv).
...
"Speaking of which, since drinking "Dragon Blood" only increases basic values, how did this passive ability appear?" Minori couldn't help but feel a little puzzled at this moment.
He carefully recalled the entire process at that time.
Minori subconsciously looked at his skin. He remembered that his skin was stained with dragon blood at that time, and a large area of red marks appeared.
Could it be that drinking "Dragon Blood" alone and getting "Dragon Blood" on the skin have different benefits?
This thought popped into Minori's mind.
Speaking of which, he wondered if the blood of the Lava Dominator also had similar benefits. These are all things worth experimenting with next.
He raised his head.
Minori looked at the dwarven craftsmen who had gradually returned to normal after a heated discussion: "It seems that there are already results."
He first glanced at the Kuro, which was lying on the ground, shivering because of the "Dragon Blood".
"Seriously, if you are affected by this bit of aura, how can you withstand stronger power?"
Minori raised his hand and patted the Kuro's head, then got up and walked towards the dwarves.
"Awoo ~" The Kuro let out a soft cry, looking at Minori's back, its beast eyes revealing a hint of perseverance.
"Everyone, you are the best Rune craftsmen I know of so far."
"I wonder if you can replicate this Rune armor made by the Gray Dwarf race." Minori walked over and said, looking at the group of dwarves.
The sudden sound.
Made all the dwarves who were immersed in observing the damaged armor, simultaneously raise their heads and look in Minori's direction.
Faced with the highest-level Rune characters that had long been lost, the faces of the dwarven craftsmen were filled with excitement and excitement.
But at this moment, the air was a little quiet!
No one had experienced the forging process of this high-level Rune item, so naturally no one had the confidence to complete it.
"What if we can't make it?" Gondo stared closely at Minori, and said loudly.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little serious.
The dwarven craftsmen became cautious. Everyone had not forgotten that they were abducted.
"Then it's just a failure."
Faced with such a question, Minori spread his arms very casually, as if he didn't care whether it was successful or not.
That's indeed the case!
He did want to replicate this Rune armor of the Gray Dwarf race, but he also knew that there was a high probability of failure.
It would naturally be best if it succeeded, but failure would not have any impact on Minori. It would just be a waste of some time.
And Rune technology is indeed a craft worth researching and developing.
However!
Seeing Minori's indifferent attitude, the dwarves who were drumming in their hearts widened their eyes one by one, and blew their beards unconvinced.
"If we were to create a Rune item with the highest-level characters on our own, then I would have no confidence at all."
"But if we just copy this armor, I still have some confidence."
"We are completely underestimated. Even if Rune technology is far inferior to your human's magic technology, it is also the greatest craft of our dwarven race!"
"Just copying a copy!"
"I'm very angry now."
"Idiot, speak softly."
"...!"
"I just feel that being able to forge such a Rune armor in my lifetime will definitely become a unique memory in my mind."
Loud noises rang out again. These dwarves were obviously dissatisfied with Minori's casual tone just now.
Looking at the dwarves becoming energetic one by one, the expression on Minori's face did not change at all.
He wouldn't think that these dwarven craftsmen were really capable just because he heard these dwarves boasting.
The Minister of Forging held the broken armor, turned respectfully, and looked up at Minori.
"Are there enough people?"
Minori did not ask the group of dwarven craftsmen, but instead looked at the most critical figure.
"If the number of Rune craftsmen can be doubled. Then the success rate will be higher." The Minister of Forging said honestly.
"What is the success rate now?" Minori.
Minister of Forging: "30%."
30% chance?
Very low!
But it was higher than Minori's initial expected probability.
He could experiment, anyway, there was almost no loss except for time, because Rune technology did not require extra high material costs.
"Then you can gamble." A smile appeared on Minori's face.
"Hey, human." Gondo's voice came from behind again, his tone full of excitement.
"Being able to see the highest-level Rune characters and reproduce this lost power can be said to be something that our Rune craftsmen cannot refuse."
"But we have already discussed it just now."
"Not to mention Mithril and Orichalcum, even Fine Steel cannot withstand the power of the highest-level four characters."
"It must be a more excellent metal. As long as you can find this material, the 30% chance you mentioned just now can be increased by at least another 20%."
As soon as these words fell.
The dwarves behind him immediately made the same response.
Minori's eyes swept to the Minister of Forging on the side. Seeing that the other party nodded and agreed with this view, he was relieved instead.
"Whatever tools you need, just say it, and I will bring all the tools to you."
Minori smiled brightly and said to the dwarven craftsmen. As he spoke, he waved his hand towards the side.
A vat more than half a person's height appeared in the field.
The suddenly appearing large object attracted everyone's attention.
"Is it a magic pouch?"
"What is this big vat for?"
This vat, which was more than half a person's height, was already a bit taller than the dwarves.
The dwarves were silent for a moment.
An alcoholic aroma with a sour fruit flavor came from the vat and entered the nostrils of all the dwarves present. This vat was one of the four treasures of the Lizardmen, the "Great Wine Pot".
Gulu ~
Gulu ~
In this already hot environment on the periphery of the Lava Zone, the dwarven craftsmen were already a little thirsty, and at this moment, they smelled the aroma of wine.
The sound of throats swallowing saliva immediately rose and fell one after another.
"This is a magic item that has the ability to automatically make wine. Theoretically, you can drink as much as you want." Minori's calm introduction fell into the ears of the dwarves like the whisper of a demon's temptation.
A magic item that can automatically produce wine is more important to the wine-loving dwarves than their lives.
Minori waved his arm again.
The wild boar-like beasts stored in the item box appeared on the ground again.
"In short, as a reward for asking you to help, there's enough wine and enough meat." Minori said very readily.
"I suddenly don't want to go back now."
"Don't talk, I have the same thought."
"..."
Sounds of small discussions came from the crowd.
Soon!
The dwarven craftsmen put their previous worries behind them and fell into revelry.
Minori then used teleportation magic to go to the eastern city "Feo Jera" again, and brought back all the tools that the Rune craftsmen needed to use in one go.
As for the impact caused by the disappearance of all the Rune craftsmen on the dwarf side, Minori was not interested in paying attention.
The next day.
Mid-Earth Moon, November 18th.
The dwarven craftsmen, full of energy, surrounded Minori, each holding tools in their hands, ready to do a big job.
"Where are the materials? We'll start building now." A dwarf took the lead and said loudly.
In their opinion, since Minori had confidence, he had obviously prepared in advance the metal materials that could withstand the highest-level Rune characters.
Under the gaze of Minori and others, everyone was not kept waiting for long. As his thoughts moved:
"Body Armor!"
Whoosh!
A gray-white mist overflowed from Minori's body, quickly covering his whole body and condensing into a gray full body armor.
The sudden scene.
Made all the dwarves stunned for a moment, with a blank look on their faces.
"This is the material I prepared for you."
In the gray full body armor, Minori's voice came through the armor, and then said:
"I need you to engrave the Rune characters on that armor on this full body armor on my body."
The air became a little quiet for some reason.
Most of the dwarves opened their mouths and looked at Minori in disbelief.
"What are you kidding me!"
Gondo glared and said loudly angrily. He felt that the human in front of him was playing with them.
"Although this armor of mine is a bit special, it can be called a unique material."
Minori was not surprised by the changes in the expressions of the dwarves. He also felt that his idea was a bit crazy.
But it's worth a try!
The "Body Armor" he is currently using has a clear difference from the normal skills due to the unique deterioration phenomenon in the other world.
While Minori was speaking, he raised his palm, and the magic greatsword appeared in his palm.
Bang!
Before the dwarves could react.
Minori raised the magic greatsword and heavily chopped it on his arm. A clearly visible crack appeared on the arm of the full body armor.
Gondo and the other dwarves looked at this scene somewhat blankly, as if they didn't understand what Minori was trying to express.
They had been mentioning that they needed very strong metal to withstand the power of the highest-level characters. The armor in front of them that could be easily chopped out of cracks was obviously not strong.
Minori didn't say much, but took out a bottle of alchemy potion and poured it directly on the cracked armor.
In the blink of an eye.
Under the incredible gazes of all the dwarves, the crack on the armor had actually returned to its original state.
This is the unique special ability of "Body Armor"!
