Chapter 3366: Chapter 3367: Eyes of the Mercury Dragon

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

After Laplace finished enjoying the dragon neck meat, Aivikato finally turned his gaze to Angel.

The Housekeeper Fan also timely asked: "I wonder what Mr. Angele’s choice will be?"

If it were before, he might still hesitate; but now, after the meticulous calculations of the "server," he had already found the answer in his heart.

"The Eyes of the Mercury Dragon."

Housekeeper Fan: "Are you sure?"

Angel nodded without hesitation.

Seeing this, Aivikato directly picked up the fruit from the fruit basket and began a new round of devouring.

Angel’s choice did not cause much of a stir, because among those present, only Angel had the lowest level of power. Unlike Jasmine or Laplace, he couldn’t prioritize taste and texture first.

For him, choosing with a mindset of enjoying "gourmet food" was absolutely the lowest priority. Angel’s choice was bound to be about enhancing himself.

Among all the options on the menu, the Eyes of the Mercury Dragon was considered one of the parts most evidently beneficial for self-improvement.

Angel’s choice of the Eyes of the Mercury Dragon wasn’t too surprising.

Angel was unaware of the others’ thoughts. The main reason for his final decision to choose the "Eyes of the Mercury Dragon" was still that... the Eye of Lawbreaking was too hard to learn.

The enhancement of the Mental Power Value relied too heavily on innate ability and luck.

Angel’s innate value wasn’t high, and trying to increase that value to 25 through acquired methods was particularly difficult.

It would be as difficult as learning the Shapeshifting Technique by transplanting organs to learn the Eye of Lawbreaking.

Firstly, the acquisition difficulty of the organ to be transplanted—the "Three-eyed Divine Eye of Tongue’s Diagram Island"—is in no way inferior to that of the Transform Soft-bodied Insect; moreover, this creature, known as the "Magic Monster of Tongue’s Diagram Island," has already been nearly wiped out.

In the Southern Domain, such a creature simply cannot be found.

It is said that the Magic Monster of Tongue’s Diagram Island might exist in other parts of the Wizards’ Realm and the Origin World, but that’s just a rumor and cannot be confirmed.

Under such circumstances, attempting to learn the Eye of Lawbreaking through organ transplantation is almost impossible.

Moreover, this transplanted organ would need to take Angel’s eye position. And now, Angel’s right eye has already been replaced with Shava’s eye; in other words, he could only transplant it to his left eye, but if he wanted to have complete Projected Bloodline, neither of his eyes should be moved rashly.

Additionally, Angel has a vague premonition that the simultaneous emergence of green Pattern mutations in both his left and right eyes is very important for him. This intense foreboding, even if he doesn’t fully believe it, he would handle it with a cautious attitude.

In short, transplanting eyes is unlikely.

Since it’s impossible to transplant the eyes of the Magic Monster of Tongue’s Diagram Island, the opportunity to master the Eye of Lawbreaking is nearly nonexistent.

The emergence of the "Eyes of the Mercury Dragon" has offered him another option.

He could completely refine the "Eyes of the Mercury Dragon" into an external Eye of Lawbreaking, and as an Alchemy product, Angel could add more attributes and effects to it.

The final product might even surpass the limits of the Eye of Lawbreaking as a Spell Technique.

This is the fundamental reason why Angel chose the "Eyes of the Mercury Dragon."

As for why he gave up on the "Monochrome Single Scale," it’s mainly because the mirror control and Phantom Body that come with the Monochrome Single Scale are actually somewhat flawed.

Mirror control might work well in the Mirror Domain, but Angel could not stay long-term in the Mirror Domain. His main battlefield is still the Material Realm.

And in the Material Realm, the ability of mirror control is greatly reduced.

Moreover, the mirror control of the Monochrome Single Scale only controls explosions. The explosion’s power is also related to the concentration of Aggregation Energy. Angel has not mastered Aggregation Energy, so how could he control the intensity of explosions?

Also, the "Phantom Body" effect that comes with the Monochrome Single Scale is something Angel can replicate. In such a case, there’s indeed not much value in choosing the Monochrome Single Scale.

Of course... the most important reason is that you cannot have both fish and bear’s paw.

If he could choose two organs, then all the flaws would be strengths. Now he could only choose one, so he might as well point out the flaws, so he wouldn’t be upset over missing the "Monochrome Single Scale."

...

In the small restaurant, Mysterious Power constantly stirred up wave after wave.

This time, Aivikato’s proliferation of the "Eyes of the Mercury Dragon" was significantly grander than before. Whether it was the richness of the Mysterious Power or the ripple of the air caused by energy surplus, it far exceeded the previous organs.

This is understandable, as the Eyes of the Mercury Dragon is about "effect," quite different from the previous "gourmet food" route.

Organs with strong effects have a higher energy fullness and more complex energy structure than chest meat and dragon neck meat.

This is the reason for such a grand scene.

However, this is not the largest spectacle. If Angel had initially chosen the "Brain Core of the Mercury Dragon," the spectacle would have forced everyone out of the restaurant.

Because consuming the "Brain Core of the Mercury Dragon" has a chance of directly Awakening the talents of the Mercury Dragon, its effect is the strongest on the menu.

Angel had initially considered whether to choose the Brain Core, but ultimately he decided against it. Because having more talents isn’t always better; many talents require prerequisites.

For example, the Mercury Dragon’s talent of "Controlling Mirror Body" is due to the Mercury Dragon having countless mirror-like Dragon Scales all over its body and tough skin.

Does Angel have such Dragon Scales? Such a formidable physical condition? No.

In such circumstances, what use is Awakening such a talent?

Generally speaking, for Angel to enjoy the "Brain Core of the Mercury Dragon," it would be best if he himself possessed the Mercury Dragon Bloodline; but he doesn’t have the corresponding bloodline, nor does he have such a grand physique, so the Brain Core isn’t suitable for him. He didn’t even put the Brain Core on his list of backup plans.

After the great spectacle, Aivikato finally proliferated that special eye, as ethereal as smoke and Illusion Dream.

With the birth of the eye, the Mysterious Power instantly gathered, and the surrounding drifting energy was absorbed into the eye.

Everything returned to silence, only Aivikato’s suddenly emaciated figure attested to the terrible impact proliferating the "Eyes of the Mercury Dragon" had on it.

Similar to the situation while creating the heart, Aivikato attracted the surrounding Aggregation Energy after sensing his body withering.

Soon, Aivikato’s body became plump again, but it was obviously smaller than when they first met.

"The Aggregation Energy reserve here is not enough for me to completely recover. I’ll go out first to restore my body." Aivikato said to everyone, then turned to the Housekeeper Fan: "I’ve already chilled the dessert in the back kitchen, so I’ll take my leave first."

Housekeeper Fan nodded: "You go first, I’ll take care of the rest."

If they had only proliferated three organs, the Aggregation Energy in the air would have been enough. However, the additional heart proliferation had strained the already scarce Aggregation Energy.

Housekeeper Fan watched as Aivikato drew back the curtain and left the world within the painting.

Once Aivikato’s figure disappeared, Housekeeper Fan then turned back to look at Angel.

Originally, he planned to inform Angel that the taste of the Mercury Dragon’s Eye was quite bitter, especially the juices inside were exceedingly bitter once chewed, and it would be best to consume it alongside a post-meal dessert to swallow it down more easily.

However, when Housekeeper Fan looked at Angel, he found that Angel was wiping his mouth with a napkin, and the plate in front of him...was already empty.

Did he finish it already? Wasn’t it bitter?

Angel didn’t comprehend Housekeeper Fan’s expression and instinctively said, "Thank you for the hospitality."

But Jasmine across the table remarked, "I told him the eye juices were very bitter, so he swallowed it whole...without chewing."

Housekeeper Fan displayed an expression of "I see."

After all, it was a "Dragon Banquet," and Housekeeper Fan did not wish for the guests to have regrets due to consuming bitter foods. Though swallowing it whole was somewhat rugged, it was still acceptable.

Confirming that everyone had finished dining, Housekeeper Fan bent forward, "Everyone, please wait a moment, I will fetch today’s post-meal dessert for you."

"This time’s dessert has a delightful taste, so please look forward to it."

Housekeeper Fan teased a bit before turning and leaving the dining room.

Once Housekeeper Fan left, Laplace quickly inquired through the Mind Ribbon, "Did you preserve the Mercury Dragon’s Eye inside your body?"

Angel nodded, "I’ve enveloped it in special energy, and once I depart, I’ll store it in space."

Currently, although the Mercury Dragon’s Eye is already in the stomach, due to Angel’s deliberate care, it hasn’t been digested and remains in the stomach. Nonetheless, the energy from the Mercury Dragon’s Eye is undeniably formidable; despite Angel enveloping it thoroughly with green Patterns, the vast energy’s burden still makes Angel feel a heavy weight in his lower abdomen.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable now?" Laplace noticed the low mood in Angel’s transmitted message and quickly asked.

Angel did not hide anything and explained the general situation.

Laplace: "Is there no issue?"

Angel: "There shouldn’t be any issue."

In the short term, a slight heaviness won’t cause much impact; however, if it persists for a prolonged period, say ten days or half a month, that would be discomforting.

However, they definitely wouldn’t stay in the Cloud Cave for that long, so temporarily storing the Mercury Dragon’s Eye in the stomach shouldn’t pose much of a problem.

As soon as Angel finished speaking, Laplace was prepared to respond when suddenly Jasmine said, "I’ve heard there’s a cultivated text plant in the garden, I’m planning to go take a look, do you both want to join?"

Text plant?

Angel felt moved; he indeed had some interest in the so-called text plant. But after contemplating, he decided not to go.

Later, Laplace would borrow an oil painting from the Mystic Book Dragon, so it wouldn’t be too late to check it out then.

Angel declined, and Laplace also expressed no interest. Jasmine shrugged, "Then I’ll go take a look myself, see you later."

Jasmine left.

At this moment, only Angel and Laplace remained in the dining room.

Angel’s eyes suddenly brightened. Jasmine went to the garden, and now Aivikato and Housekeeper Fan weren’t around; perhaps he could now retrieve the Mercury Dragon’s Eye?

Angel was about to voice his plan when he heard Laplace’s voice from the Mind Ribbon: "I estimate Jasmine has already guessed that you didn’t digest the Mercury Dragon’s Eye."

Angel: "?"

Laplace: "Her sudden choice to leave is a confirmation."

Angel fell into a brief silence; indeed, Jasmine’s abrupt decision to go to the garden was somewhat sudden... So, this was intentionally providing him some space to "handle the aftermath."

Laplace: "Swallowing the Mercury Dragon’s Eye whole was somewhat deliberate. Perhaps she can’t be entirely sure, but she’s just harboring a suspicion."

This suspicion to Jasmine, whether right or wrong, doesn’t matter much; after all, the time she spent away in the garden allows Angel some flexibility, and to her, it isn’t a difficult task.

If he wasn’t, then no harm done; if he was, Angel would appreciate her for it.

This was probably the reason behind Jasmine’s sudden departure.

"Regardless of what Jasmine thinks, now that there’s no one around, I’m also certain that no one else is observing here." Laplace: "You can store the Mercury Dragon’s Eye into space to prevent discomfort from the alien energy inside."

Angel pondered briefly and nodded, "Alright."

Angel placed his hand, adorned with a bracelet, to his lips.

In an instant, the Mercury Dragon’s Eye from his belly returned to his mouth. Before it appeared, it was stored into the bracelet’s space.

The entire process, even if there were outsiders present, would be difficult to notice any anomaly.

Collecting the Mercury Dragon’s Eye and Jasmine’s speculation ultimately were just minor diversions. Even if discovered by everyone, it wouldn’t truly be a significant issue.

Thus, Laplace didn’t linger on these details. Upon confirming Angel stored away the Mercury Dragon’s Eye, she inquired about a matter she was more interested in:

"Do you intend to refine a tool using the Mercury Dragon’s Eye as the main material?"

Angel nodded in agreement, "Indeed."

"Do you have any rough plans?" Laplace: "How do you plan to refine it? Are you thinking of creating a Secret Treasure?"

Upon hearing Laplace’s question, Angel found himself speechless: "..."

Refining a Secret Treasure; that’s really expecting a lot.

Angel: "Secret Treasures aren’t that easy to refine."

Laplace: "But you have refined a Secret Treasure, haven’t you?"

Laplace referred to the Indestructible Heart Mirror, but Angel’s mind thought of the Samsara Overture. The truly handcrafted Secret Treasure, with no external bonuses, was the Samsara Overture.

Though Indestructible Heart Mirror is also considered a Half-step Mystic Object, it became a Secret Treasure mainly due to the Mad Hat’s crowning, which isn’t really related to Angel’s refining skills.

Angel: "The birth of a Secret Treasure involves a certain amount of luck. I don’t believe my luck will always be there."

Laplace: "You’re right, but I’m looking forward to witnessing the birth of a new Secret Treasure."

Angel sighed, "I hope so too, but... We’ll see when the time comes."

The creation of a Secret Treasure isn’t straightforward; even using the Mad Hat’s crowning, Angel isn’t certain that every time he’d be lucky enough to draw a Black Hat.

However, when it comes to crucial refining moments, Angel is still inclined to use the Mad Hat’s crowning.

Even if it’s not a Black Hat, but a White Hat, that would still be quite good. Moreover, the foundational optimization of a White Hat might be more suitable for the Mercury Dragon’s Eye.
