Chapter 91: Still Have to Rely on Oneself
Dragon Scale is slightly more flexible than steel, but much more durable, making it the perfect material for armor. Normally, it may not compete with refined gold, but it should definitely surpass Mithril, as Mithril’s advantage lies in its lightness and flexibility, not its strength.
As a Red Dragon, Leon, who naturally possesses Dragon Scale armor, honestly doesn’t care much about armor; he cares more about acquiring a powerful weapon to enhance his combat abilities using the Sword Control Technique.
In this case, Mithril is never the material for making good weapons, it only reduces the weight.
Refined gold, on the other hand, is different. Weapons forged from refined gold possess immense destructive power, and if crafted by a skilled blacksmith, they might achieve special effects... Of course, refined gold weapons have a drawback: they are heavy, but that’s unimportant to Leon, who is very strong.
All in all, Leon really doesn’t care much about Mithril; it doesn’t make much difference whether he has it or not, as long as he has refined gold. If he can obtain refined gold, then this trip to Crossroads City would be extremely profitable.
Leon looked at the Female Dwarf Mage and somehow felt she was surrounded by an aura. Before he could even ask about the price, he heard Tassera’s voice—
"Where did you get the refined gold? I’ve never heard you mention it before." From Blue Dragon’s words, it was clear she was completely uninformed and wasn’t just pretending to be clueless to tease Leon who was desperately seeking it throughout Crossroads City.
"What?" Betty looked left and right, "Have you guys gotten something wrong? I never said I had refined gold..."
Happiness comes suddenly, and so does its departure. Indeed, the situation wasn’t as simple as it seemed, and Leon’s smile froze on his face.
