The ancient dragon of Arknights

"Standing with that kind of guy will get you into trouble, and you two have been sneaking around in front of someone's house for so long. How could you not be noticed?"

"Can you be killed just for peeping? It's so scary, meow!"

Scholar Meow and Artisan Meow now understood what trouble they had caused. They kept apologizing to Neltharion and Follower Meow, and said that they knew they were wrong.

Alas...the two kittens are too innocent. This innocence is grown in the pure land.Neltharion could not force them to learn cunning and cunning immediately.

"Next time, if you want to go out, be sure to tell your follower, Meow. Only if he agrees can you go out freely."

Neltharion gave the responsibility to the follower, and the follower was okay with it.The two little ones really needed his care.

"Of course, you are not all in trouble this time. At least - we have found a new clue."

Nessario added a mark on the note in his heart - there is a being related to the "New World" in a certain manor in the Altkrieg District.

Tuk Tuk - there was a knock on the door, someone from Glasgow was coming.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and Miss Aslan, disguised as an ordinary film, walked in.

"How are those two doing?"

"It's nothing serious. If you hadn't taken action in time, they would have been seriously injured. Thank you."

"It's not worth the effort."

Unexpectedly, Miss Aslan came here to express her gratitude?It seems that her ability to seize the position of leader of this gang did not solely rely on Aslan's force.

"So, who did you mess with?"

"I don't know...these two children were new here and went to visit the Otkrieg area. They lingered in front of one of the houses for a while and were followed when they came back."

Neltharion said that Ellu Cat had just arrived, so he was right. There were many nobles in Victoria, and Neltharion only knew about the Eight Dukes.

"Those two people were thrown into the territory of other gangs by us. We must be careful in the future."

Wei Na was also a little helpless at the moment. She didn't expect to be related to the nobles. The Glasgow Gang was not suitable for contact with the nobles because of her.

In order to avoid future troubles, it would be safest to kill the two spies.But no one can guarantee the subsequent impact. After the secret agent dies, no one can guess what the master behind it will do.

......

After returning to El Cat's own stronghold, Neltharion finally entered the topic of today - ore.

"Well, according to my research these days. There are three metals that are more suitable for the characteristics of dragon-slaying."

As the Craftsman Cat spoke, he brought two boxes and opened them - they were all ores.

"The first one is heteroferrous metal. This metal has stable properties and high hardness, but requires a higher melting temperature. So at this time, the second metal is needed - incandescent alloy, which is mostly used in the electronic field... Although I don’t know how electrical appliances are made yet, but I’m already familiar with this metal. Its melting point is lower than that of dissimilar iron, and it can exist in solid and liquid states at the same time when the temperature is accurately controlled.”

The craftsman cat shed his childishness and talked eloquently in the face of Neltharion's gaze. Under his introduction, Neltharion also understood the direction of his evolution - mixing two metals, each taking the advantages of both.

"So, what is their mixing ratio? Have you calculated this?"

"A 3:1 mixture of heteroferrous and incandescent alloys."

Craftsman Miao was so confident that he even came up with the results of his experiment - a piece of alloy quickly turned red and hot under the burning heat of the furnace, and finally turned into a piece of weapon that exuded scorching heat but was strong.

"Don't underestimate them. To a certain extent, scholars and craftsmen are even more important than hunters. Our equipment, weapons, monster intelligence, and ecology all rely on their help."

The follower Meow pointed out the strong logistics department of the Nessario science hunters, which emphasized the issue of food.

"As far as I know - the food in Yuechen Stronghold and Xingchen Stronghold is well prepared, and there are two chefs with superb cooking skills. As for other villages...it's hard to say."

Neltharion tried to imagine - with so much special monster meat, coupled with that huge ecosystem, how many delicacies could be made?

"If I have the chance, I would like to experience it."

According to Follower Meow, the Star Stronghold is set up in the ancient tree forest not far from the Great Ant Mound Wasteland. Nessario and Follower Meow have plans to explore in that direction - to see if they can find their companions.

This is a great attempt, just like trying to connect with other people's dreams when you are dreaming is just as impossible, but once you succeed - the subsequent help will be great!

"Besides, there is good news."

"Little scholar, it's time for you to appear."

"plz follow me."

Neltharion followed Scholar Meow into the backyard. The originally empty yard was now filled with potted plants. These potted plants were large and small, and most of them had sprouted green buds.

"This is?"

Neltharion has no interest in planting. Even if Scholar Meow grows high-yield food, this thing Neltharion will not be able to play a role. The best way is to give it to his sister and let her publish it in the Colombian academic community.

"This is the herb."

"That herb that can heal injuries instantly?"

"Yes."

"!"

Chapter 47 Upgrade begins

For the next hour, Neltharion and Scholar Meowth buried themselves in the potted plants and never left.

There is no other reason than that it is too shocking and too valuable.

Neltharion had personally experienced the power of this herb. He could almost recover from such a serious wound after drinking one bottle.The evaluation of white bones and raw flesh cannot be overstated. Even Neltharion, who didn't care much about academics and technology, knew how valuable this small herb would be.

"In addition to medicinal herbs, I also tried to cultivate all the seeds and insect eggs I had on my body."

"There are other kinds!?"

Surprises come one after another. The knowledge learned from the follower Meow tells Nessario that all traps and props are made from materials available in the environment.

Various mushrooms, herbs, and bugs can play different roles in different formulas. Recovery potions made from honey and herbs are not the most magical thing among them, but now - they can appear in Terra!

"Don't be too happy yet. Be patient and listen to what the little scholar has to say."

"Oh, okay, I'm sorry, little scholar, you continue."

Neltharion's solemn attitude immediately made the arrogant scholar Miao feel comfortable. He cheered up and summarized the medicinal materials and insects that could be cultivated now, and explained their disadvantages.

"The growth is too slow. Logically speaking, it takes one day and night for the medicinal materials to mature and be harvested, but a week has passed and they have only grown."

The difference in world energy levels causes the same crops to show different growth rates, which is an acceptable loss.

"It won't affect the effect, right?"

"It's not clear yet, I haven't been able to harvest the first batch of experimental results yet."

The original joyful mood was replaced by heaviness. Neltharion prayed sincerely, hoping that the results of the experiment would not be too bad. It would be acceptable if it could not be made from bones and flesh, but at least it should be comparable to the medical origin stone skills.Neltharion didn't have the energy to bring a nurse into action, so having a life-saving trump card in hand was a great help.

"Keep up the good work."

"Oh!"

......

Nesario once again stepped on the school entrance guard and swooped into the campus a second ago. This time, Mr. Gatekeeper regretfully missed the opportunity to teach Nesario a lesson.

"Ore...this stuff tastes really hard."

Although high-energy substances have not yet been found as a source of heat, Neltharion has decided to build a tail first. The rigid bladed tail that cannot generate heat is also capable of combat, at least more powerful than the current horny heavy tail.

Neltharion returned to the dormitory, disturbed Fischer as usual, and then returned to his room and started eating metal for the first time.

"Can I really digest this?"

Neltharion looked at the metal ingots cut into fine pieces in the bowl in front of him and really had no appetite, but in order to pursue powerful power and higher evolution, he bit the bullet!

Putting the cold, hard pieces into your mouth, to be honest - if it wasn't so hard, it would be the same as eating ice cubes.

Neltharion forced himself to swallow - the hard object squeezed out of the esophagus and fell into the stomach. This feeling cannot be described in words, but it is definitely uncomfortable.

It took Neltharion an hour to finish the small bowl of metal food.

Looking at the big bag placed at the foot of the bed - it was the different iron and incandescent alloys that Craftsman Miao had purchased through the Glasgow Gang.

The fact that Nessario entrusted the Glasgow Gang to serve as security has long been discovered by the follower cat. The tracking techniques of several bodyguards were so bad that they were caught by the follower cat on the first day of work.

Subsequently, the two parties started cooperation. The Ellu cats contributed money and the Glasgow Gang contributed. The potting soil, fertilizer, ores and tools needed by the craftsmen cats were all obtained by the Glasgow Gang.

Among the members were children from working-class families in Victoria. After contacting the industrial area, a lot of unwanted scraps and ordinary ores were shipped over.

It's a win-win situation - the only thing hurt is Neltharion's wallet.

Today I was running around and needed time to digest the ore, so tonight's dream training was cancelled. Neltharion and his follower Meow both had a good sleep after a long time.

When he woke up early the next morning, Neltharion had forgotten about the ore, and he started to wash up as usual.

While brushing his teeth - the specially made hard toothbrush suddenly seemed to be inoperable. Nesario bit down slightly and broke the toothbrush.

Only then did he realize that his body had changed.

锃!

Facing the mirror, Neltharion found that his teeth were crystal clear and even shone with a metallic light—the teeth had been strengthened!

"According to the inheritance of dragon-slaying, teeth biting is also one of their special skills. It's a pity that the guy didn't use it much. It focused on swordsmanship."

Neltharion then looked at the tail. The original bony tail had begun to loosen, and he felt that the horn on it could be pulled off with a little force.

Of course, this would probably be quite painful, so Neltharion wouldn't bother with it.

"Eat it again tonight, and the stunt of cutting it in half will appear!"

......

Some people are happy and some are sad. In the women's dormitory 500 meters away from the boys' dormitory, Rita is washing up. The morning sunlight shines through the window on her golden hair, making her look extremely dazzling and beautiful.

On normal days, Losili would definitely praise her several times.

But today, our green film lady looks a little distracted.

"Losili, what's wrong with you? You've been listless since you came back yesterday."

"It's nothing, it's just something I care about that distracted me."

We can't talk to Rita about this - Neltharion is dangerous.

Yesterday, Losili rewarded herself with a cake after a long absence, so she went to Valerie's Cake Shop.

So she happened to see Neltharion and Rita traveling together.

Before, she paid to treat Nessario to cakes, and now, he was paying to treat three women to cakes.

How to describe Rosili's mood... Reason told her that she did not take the initiative to make friends with Nessario, and the relationship between the two was just an encounter; otherwise, a small piece of cake would still be worth eating. .

But women are such strange creatures. It was obvious that she was the first to know and develop a relationship with Neltharion, so why did she become a marginalized person in the end?

Do you want to go up and say hello now?Another encounter at the cake shop, a coincidence with Rita as a roommate.

Coupled with his ability to observe words and emotions, it is only a matter of time to integrate into this small group.

Just when Rosili was hesitant, Nesario and others had already finished shopping and left. They split up after leaving the store - the three girls chose to go back to school, while Nesario acted alone.

Cats are very curious, and Rosili was even more curious this time.

Neltharion showed his flaws because he was concerned about the guidance of the guide insect. He did not realize that he was being followed by a Miss Ferrin.

And what happened after that was very simple - Neltharion's fight with the spies, and the gang's accomplices.

Before he even knew it, he was suddenly labeled as a dangerous person.

Chapter 48 Cooperation Booking

A week passed quietly. During this week, Neltharion concentrated on devouring metal. He did not appear in public again. After the class ended every day, he trained with his follower Meow and confirmed external intelligence.

The Glasgow Gang is currently thriving due to the large orders placed by Neltharion and Ellu cats, and the losses caused by the relocation of the sphere of influence have also been recovered over time.

However, the Hounds Tooth Gang's small actions have never stopped. Almost every day, members of the Hounds Tooth Gang come to make trouble in Blocks 56 and 57.This phenomenon has made the people in these two neighborhoods miserable. They all run small businesses, and their daily accumulation will be instantly reduced to ashes under a beating from the Dogtooth Gang.

This is not going to work. Even if the Glasgow Gang provides protection, the losses have already occurred every time they arrive at the scene.Over time, these two neighborhoods will become deserted or attract whippings from the city police due to poor security.

The Glasgow Gang will organize a counterattack, and they will destroy the foundation of the Dogtooth Gang in one fell swoop and let it roll off the chessboard completely.

"I'd like you to help if you can."

Vina extended an invitation to Nessario. The number of members of the Glasgow Gang was far inferior to that of the Houndstooth Gang. Although she and Indra supported the high-end combat power, others may not be able to sustain their support.Neltharion's strength is obvious to all. With his help, the difficulty of wiping out the Houndstooth Gang will be greatly reduced.

"I'm not your subordinate, Miss Wei Na. Besides, my real identity is not a careerist, I'm just a student. If this matter gets bigger, the school will find trouble for me."
