Chapter 460: Chapter 351 Preparing for Revenge_2
"You’re so beautiful," murmured Suolin. Indeed, Ai Lin was always beautiful, yet under the accent of the silver dragon scales, she almost glowed. Suolin couldn’t help but reach out her hand, gently stroking Ai Lin’s face; every movement she made seemed to indicate something.
Envy.
Ai Lin also stretched out her hand, slowly brushing Suolin’s cheek. It felt warm, but completely smooth.
"They... really..."
"Yes, none at all," Suolin whispered.
Ai Lin was at a loss for how to console her. Girls are always preoccupied with their beauty, but when you lose all of your facial features, all words of comfort lose their meaning.
"However, at least my figure is good!" Suolin said, cheering herself up with a laugh. It was a foolish consolation that Long Yi made in a hurry.
Ai Lin nodded. It was true. Suolin had a very tall figure and a flawless body curve, with delicate, thin dragon scales that were light and soft. Compared to Ai Lin’s silver dragon scales, they even better accentuated her figure. Suolin took the opportunity to adjust the position of some scales slightly, creating an even more incredible body curve.
This time, even Ai Lin was envious.
"Actually, as Brother Long said, this truly is a special beauty," Little Zi said with a smile.
"Special beauty?" Suolin held her face in her hands, gently touching it.
"Because you are unique," said Little Zi.
Perhaps it was really working, or perhaps she had reconciled with it, but at least Suolin’s mood improved considerably. They ambled through the Imperial City with Suolin who was still invisible. She told Ai Lin that she didn’t want her transformation revealed prematurely, as it could raise suspicions from Black Dragon Emperor Kaniel. But was a part of it also a lack of confidence?
When Long Yi relayed what happened to Suolin to Emperor Kirei, Kirei was stunned. After a while, he finally recovered.
"That old bastard Kaniel, he really dares to risk his life, not even sparing the princess of an ally."
"Is there anything he doesn’t dare?" Long Yi said with a smile.
"Now I really have to think of a way. If we’re lucky, we’ll have another ally in the White Dragon Empire," Kirei said.
"That’s not my concern, I came to tell you this news so that you can prepare in advance. In case Kaniel truly dies, you should have a complete countermeasure in place."
"Are you really going to let her go?"
"It seems she’s quite determined."
"Will you go with her?"
"Are you kidding? Almost everyone in the world is watching me. My image would be discovered as soon as I cross the border."
"Then...."
"Don’t worry, since I’ve approved her going, I can’t let her walk into danger without a plan," said Long Yi.
There is still a major issue to be resolved with Suolin.
Eating.
In the past, Suolin relied on medication for survival. But now it is unnecessary. Crystal Poison has replaced blood as her new circulatory medium. The only thing Suolin needs to supplement now is Crystal Poison.
Crystal Poison has one big advantage, it can reproduce itself.
Long Yi needs to figure out how to satisfy Suolin’s need for Crystal Poison.
But that’s not enough.
Suolin plans to assassinate Black Dragon Emperor Kaniel Black. Even the stupidest fool knows the emperor will be heavily guarded. Given the importance of the Black Dragon Emperor to the Black Dragon Empire, the protection around him will undoubtedly be even tighter, making a conflict with the emperor’s guards inevitable for Suolin. To be honest, Long Yi really didn’t believe that Suolin’s thin scales could offer much protection. Although she demonstrated the ability to make the scales invisible, what if the invisibility ability fails?
Long Yi was still not reassured.
However, the good news is that Long Yi is a Giant.
For the Dragon Clan, the Giants have a very comprehensive knowledge reserve. About the Green Dragon, a branch variant from the Dragon Clan, the Giants have invested considerable research enthusiasm in them because this is the first creature in the multiverse that can change its shape freely, other than shape-shifters. Even though the change is only to another dragon of similar size, it still serves to illustrate the wonder of this world. Thus, the Giants have a more in-depth study of the variant dragons. For this reason, Long Yi had the confidence to save Suolin.
The ability of the variant dragon to change shapes comes from the combination of Dragon Heart and Dragon Scale. After the Dragon Heart was replaced by the Black Dragon Heart, Suolin’s new dragon scales lost their precise shape-changing abilities, but there is still hope for recovery.
This is because all the variant dragon scales that Suolin shed before had been collected by Long Yi.
The dragon is an incredibly tenacious creature. These scales maintain their vitality even after being shed. This is exactly what Long Yi needed. Dragon scales come in two forms, incredibly hard yet heavy, and incredibly soft but light.
Long Yi removed the damaged parts from both types of scales and placed them in two separate crucibles. He sliced open his fingertips, and slowly let his Giant blood, imbued with the power of a Giant and Crystal Poison, flow out.
The blood dripped onto each piece of dragon scale, the Giant’s power immediately penetrated into the scales, displacing the original Dragon Power and becoming the primary power in the dragon scales. Simultaneously, the Crystal Poison began to break down the scales, causing them to gradually dissolve. Soon, the light green scales completely melted and the green color gradually faded, becoming pure white, then emitting the unique dark golden glow of the Giant’s power in the crucible.
Then came the most vital step. Long Yi took out a Crystal Core and marked a delicate magic pattern inside it with the power of the Giant. He then threw the Crystal Core into the milky white liquid formed by the melting of the soft dragon scales. Immediately, the liquid began to boil violently, the internal moisture slowly evaporating, and what Long Yi wanted began to take shape.
To prepare for this, Long Yi made a lot of efforts. As for the result, he was exceptionally satisfied.
In the second crucible, however, Long Yi added large chunks of dark gold metal.
It was Fine Gold.
These pieces of Fine Gold were taken from the equipment in Long Yi’s private space, which were all made of Fine Gold. The Giant’s equipment was enormous, so taking a piece or two was hardly significant. But the result was precisely what Long Yi wanted.
Fine Gold, it represents the ultimate in defense.
Under a special Giant magic, the dark gold chunks melted into the milky white liquid and instantly turned all the liquid into dark gold color.
Alright, now everything is in place. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
