Chapter 325: Borrowing the City Lord’s Treasures
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord made a secret visit this time, mainly to bring powerful equipment to the dragonman youngster.
Under the current circumstances, powerful equipment could quickly increase individual strength.
Equipping the dragonman youngster in advance would also give him more time to familiarize himself with the use of the equipment, allowing him to make better use of it.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord took a small bag out of his bosom.
This bag was obviously a gold level treasure, capable of concealing the aura of its contents.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord unfolded the small bag completely.
In the next moment, all the equipment was visible to the dragonman youngster.
The small bundle clearly did not have the ability to shrink space, and all the equipment was actual size.
The equipment was very small and delicate, with many large and small rings.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord did not prioritize introducing these rings but first picked up a scale with his finger.
It was a white, translucent dragon scale, only the size of an adult's thumb.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord introduced, “Commander Long Fu, this is a badge from the Dragon's Reverse Scale series, specifically the Sword Return Reverse Scale.”
The dragonman youngster immediately nodded, “I know this series of alchemy treasures.”
The Dragon's Reverse Scale has a series of badges, ranging in quality from bronze to saint level.
The one that the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord took out was naturally gold level.
All the equipment he was lending to the dragonman youngster this time was of this level.
The main material used in the Dragon's Reverse Scale series of alchemy badges was dragon scales. The dragon scales used were also extraordinary, as only the unique reverse scale from among all the scales on a dragon's body was used.
The bodies of dragons were covered in resilient dragon scales, which offered exceptional defense.
However, among all dragon scales, there was typically one special scale.
Almost all dragon scales grew in the same direction, but this special scale grew in the opposite direction. Due to this characteristic, it is commonly referred to as the reverse scale.
The reverse scale was the weakest point in terms of defense among dragon scales.
In many stories, dragon slayers exploited this defensive weakness by targeting the reverse scale, inflicting severe or even fatal injuries on the dragon.
The dragonman youngster had some knowledge of this type of alchemy equipment, which he had gained from expanding his reading while memorizing knowledge about dragons in his daily life.
For the youngster, once the bloodline concentration of the Flame Dragon King reached a certain level in the future, he would also develop a reverse scale.
Among the Dragon's Reverse Scale series, the most classic product was Dragon Reverse: Rage. When a battle qi cultivator wore it, every time they were attacked, they would accumulate Rage.
Once the Rage reached a certain level, it would erupt, granting the battle qi cultivator enhancements in strength, attack power, speed, and many other aspects.
While the variety of the enhancements did not match that of the Grand Arena Medal, the extent of the enhancements was very high.
Once Rage erupted, it often gave the battle qi cultivator several times the combat power in a short period of time, thereby changing the situation and securing victory.

The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord did not lend out the most classic Dragon's Reverse Scale, but the relatively rare Sword Return Dragon Reverse Scale.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord explained in detail, "This alchemy badge uses the reverse scale of the Back Sword Dragon. Every time a battle qi cultivator takes a hit, whether it's melee or ranged, whether it's battle skills, magic, or divine spells, sword qi will accumulate in the badge."
“When the accumulation reaches its limit, it will erupt, forming a terrifying wave of sword qi.”
"Of course, if you can actively control it, you can also release it actively. During the process of accumulating sword qi, you can shoot it out one by one. It is very accurate and convenient, as long as you lock onto the enemy."
The dragonman youngster nodded, a hint of joy appearing on his face: “In this way, my long-range attack ability will be greatly supplemented.”
The dragonman youngster was only silver level, and silver level battle qi could not be condensed out of thin air like gold level. Therefore, the vast majority of battle skills were close-range, with almost no long-range battle skills.
Looking at his battles with Xiong Ju, Spring Boxer, and others, the silver level battle skills were all close-range attacks.
If his strength was not enough, his equipment could make up for it.
The Sword Return Badge directly made up for the dragonman youngster's long-range combat deficiency.
Although he could also use the alchemy crossbow, the Sword Return Badge allowed him to directly use it in close combat through mental mobilization.
It was convenient and fast, and very compatible with his fighting style.
The actual combat effect was much better than the crossbow!
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord put down the Sword Return Badge and took out the largest gold level item from the small bag.
It was a spherical glass reagent bottle, about the size of a kiwi fruit.
When Zi Di prepared the potion, she had glass reagent bottles of various sizes.
The one in front of the dragonman youngster was very high-end, reaching the gold level.
“This is the Automatic Blood Bottle,” said the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord, "You can swallow it temporarily or hold it in your mouth. When you want to speak, you can press it under your tongue, and you will be able to barely speak."
“It has the function of storing potions.”
“Don't let its compact size fool you; it has a large internal space capable of storing a significant amount of potion.”
“As the name suggests, its primary function is automatic medication administration.”
“Once your condition deteriorates, the potion will be automatically released and infused into your body.”
"The drawback is that it can only store healing potions, and the potions must be of the same type. Different healing potions cannot be mixed together in the bottle, as that would cause immeasurable damage to the bottle."
The dragonman youngster immediately praised, “Very practical.”
He thought of his fierce battle with Xiong Ju.
In the final stage, both he and Xiong Ju were exhausted and had to temporarily stop fighting. The two sides were far apart, each desperately swallowing potions to improve their condition.
With this Automatic Blood Bottle, he wouldn't have to be so desperate.
The blood bottle also had a hidden function, which was that he could secretly take medicine without his opponent noticing.
This would cause his opponent to misjudge the situation.
In a short period of time, that was all the dragonman youngster could think of.
The further practical value of the blood bottle remained to be explored by the dragonman youngster.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord put the Automatic Blood Bottle aside and took out the largest round object.
Before he could speak, the dragonman youngster said, “I know this equipment. It's the Ice Heart Headband.”
The main material of the Ice Heart Headband was the Ice Heart.
One of the goals of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps' visit to the Ice Sculpture Kingdom was to purchase this alchemy treasure.
After wearing the Ice Heart Headband, magicians would remain calm at all times, their mental power would increase, their spell casting speed would be accelerated, and their personal will would be protected.
The last point was the most important to the survivors.
The Ice Heart Ring could protect their will!
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord nodded, "I saw your battle with Xiong Ju, and he suppressed you with his Bear Roar battle skill. You need to strengthen your mental defense, especially since Teng Dong Lang has mastered the relevant battle skills."
“Is that so?” The dragonman youngster keenly grasped this new information, which the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps had not collected.
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord: "I'll tell you about Teng Dong Lang later. Next, I want to cover this set of equipment."
“You heard right.”
“This is a set!”
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord pointed to the remaining large and small rings in the small bag, his tone proud.
"Each of these rings is gold level. But what makes them truly powerful is that they can form a complete set."
“The set is called Diamond Protection.”
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord first took out a small orange-gold ring.
The ring was about the size of an adult's index finger bent at the knuckle, with the fingertip touching the tip of the thumb to form a circle.
The round equipment was full-bodied and gave a heavy visual impression.
"This is one of the components of the set, the orange steel nose ring. It can enhance your sense of smell, but at the same time help you resist attacks such as poison gas and foul odors, acting as a filter."
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord picked up a pair of smaller rings with his other hand.
The rings were only half the size of the orange steel nose ring, relatively thin, and shimmered with a crimson metallic luster.
“This pair is the crimson steel earrings, which can enhance your hearing, but at the same time help you resist attacks such as sound waves.”
The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord continued his introduction.
“This pair of green steel bracelets can speed up your hand's actions, while also providing some protection for your forearms and palms.”
“Finally, the ink steel ankle rings allow you to move faster, kick harder, and provide excellent protection for your lower limbs.”
“After wearing all the components, the entire Diamond Protection Set will have a spell effect called Diamond Body.”
"Diamond Body makes your surroundings incredibly hard; even your internal organs are somewhat enhanced. You can think of it as an enhanced and optimized version of the battle skill Black Armor, or a comprehensive version of the battle skill Silver Armor."
“The most important thing is that the Diamond Body is just a thin layer of light that does not affect any of your movements but provides good defense against swords and magic.”
“Great!” After listening to the introduction, the dragonman youngster's eyes lit up, and he immediately praised it.
All the components were gold level, and when combined, the defensive effect of the Diamond Body was unimaginable!
The dragonman youngster himself had amazing defenses.
With this set of equipment, even when facing gold level opponents, the dragonman youngster might still maintain a relative advantage.
Under the guidance of the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord, the dragonman youngster tried on all the equipment one by one.
After last night's battle, both sides had established a foundation of mutual trust. Coupled with the constraints of the contract, the dragonman youngster felt at ease and boldly tried them all out.
Before he could carefully understand them, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord said, “Commander Long Fu, you can slowly familiarize yourself with this equipment later.”
“I'll show you two videos, both of Teng Dong Lang's battles.”
The dragonman youngster raised his eyebrows slightly and instantly felt the gap in intelligence capabilities between them.
The Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps had spent a large amount of money but had not been able to gather any intelligence on Teng Dong Lang's combat capabilities. Not only had the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord collected it, but he had also obtained two videos!
“The first video shows Teng Dong Lang's combat performance during his military service.” The Snow Bird Harbor City Lord placed the alchemy device on the floor and turned it on.
The dragonman youngster glanced at it and saw a group of snow elves being attacked by a large pack of wolves in a snowstorm.
