From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

Since he had just arrived, Samuel did not have suitable experimental conditions on the Amethyst Island, so he had to use simple equipment to prepare the potion in his tent.

"What method should be used to effectively reduce the concentration of dragon blood in it..."

Samuel gently placed a dazzling amethyst rose on the table, and next to it were neatly stacked small piles of gold, silver and copper coins, which were all important auxiliary materials necessary for preparing potions.

The reason why these three mineral resources are widely recognized worldwide is that they contain relatively high magic content and low self-infection, so they are most suitable for human absorption needs.

For this reason, many countries have vigorously promoted the use of these three types of minerals and used them as currency circulation.

Specifically, the number of dragons in copper mines is the largest, and the corresponding copper mine output is also high, but the magic contained in these three dragons is relatively small, so the value of currency made of copper is low.

The number of silver dragons in the silver mine is moderate, and the output and magic value are also balanced, so silver coins are naturally positioned as medium-value currencies.

Gold dragons are the rarest of the three types of dragons.

They are not only rare, but also produce relatively little gold.

However, this gold contains extremely high magic content, which is why gold coins are regarded as high-level currency and are highly valued.

Despite this, the total number of these three types of dragons is still considerable, especially copper dragons.

There are many types of copper dragons, including bronze dragons, brass dragons, and copper dragons. Almost every country can have a few of them.

As for silver dragons, although it cannot be said that everyone has them, they are by no means rare.

Finally, let’s talk about gold dragons. Although they are relatively rare, their number is enough to form an independent group.

It is precisely because the number of these three types of dragons is relatively large that the amount of minerals produced can support the circulation of currency.

And almost every country has several of them, so they can reach a consensus and jointly select the same currency system.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that the three types of currency, gold, silver and copper, can be widely circulated.

However, for Samuel, his important task now is to accurately select the type that best matches the Bauhinia Rose from these three currencies made of magic metals and the best ratio between them.

We must understand the fact that each magic plant has its own unique attribute characteristics.

Take the potion of the Golden Rose family for example, it is a pure gold potion itself.

So when the magician of the Golden Rose family makes it, he only needs to add the Golden Rose magic plant and a large amount of gold.

Until the magic content of the potion itself reaches a threshold.

The Amethyst Rose is completely different. Its own dragon blood concentration is extremely high, and it has almost no attributes.

Through Samuel's research, it was found that the dragon blood absorbed by the Amethyst Rose may come from the following three types of dragons:

The first is the Amethyst Dragon classified as a mineral dragon. This dragon is a type between a gem dragon and a mineral dragon.

However, after discussion by the Council of Scholars, it was decided to classify it as a mineral dragon.

The number of amethysts produced by the dragon is far greater than that of gemstones produced by gemstone dragons, but the magic content is slightly lower.

The most important point is that amethyst itself does not have the function of increasing the combat power of knights, which is why it was finally classified as a mineral dragon.

Compared with mineral dragons, amethyst dragons are slightly higher in grade, at least the magic content of amethyst ore they are soaked in is much higher, but the production quantity is also less.

The second type, Samuel speculated, should be a type of amethyst dragon.

Although the amethyst dragon has never appeared in the Emerald Kingdom and the Golden Grand Duchy, there are records in the distant Mountain Copper Kingdom.

The combat power of the amethyst dragon itself is quite strong, or the combat power of the entire type of gemstone dragon is generally stronger than that of the mineral dragon.

And the purple gemstones it produces also have the ability to increase the attack power of knights.

The third type is Samuel's conjecture.

That is the magic dragon.

You know, the magic dragon is a high-level dragon like the holy dragon and the elemental dragon.

And the high-level dragon has this characteristic -

uniqueness!

The meaning of uniqueness is that this dragon is unique and it is the manifestation of a rule in this world.

This also guarantees the powerful combat power of high-end dragon species.

Just look at the Emerald Kingdom and you will know that the Emerald Dragon is a high-end dragon species and the guardian dragon of the Emerald Kingdom.

Why was Alvis able to ascend to the throne during the great rebellion?

Wasn't it because of the power of the Emerald Dragon?

And there is only one Emerald Dragon in this world, and similarly, there will only be one Emerald Kingdom.

Let's get back to the topic.

Samuel shook his head vigorously, as if to get rid of all the messy thoughts in his mind.

He sighed deeply and muttered to himself:

"Even if a giant dragon really appeared in front of me now, with my current strength, I am afraid I can't cause any harm to it.

Instead of thinking about it here, I might as well concentrate on studying this amethyst rose."

So, Samuel carefully put the amethyst rose into a huge stone mortar, and then crushed it into fine powder with all his strength.

Then, he threw the small pile of copper coins on the table into the pot and used his powerful magical power to heat it to an extremely high temperature until the gold completely melted into a liquid state.

Then, he concentrated his mind, mobilized the endless magic power in his body, and carefully manipulated the two groups of liquid substances, allowing them to slowly merge together...

Samuel manipulated the magic power with concentration, trying to successfully prepare the potion in one go.

But suddenly, the liquid medicine in front of Samuel failed to fuse, and a pungent black smoke emitted.

"...failed."

Samuel didn't feel too surprised. After all, the development of a new potion always requires multiple failures, but it would be great if it succeeded once.

"There is a problem with the fusion of the medicinal solution, which means that the properties of the amethyst rose are in conflict with the copper itself. The black smoke that comes out can also prove this. Try changing it to silver."

After determining the cause of the failure, Samuel continued the experiment with a different type of magic metal.

With another puff of black smoke rising, Samuel's second experiment failed again.

"Silver doesn't work either...try gold."

Just do it. This time, Samuel didn't even have time to clear the table. He directly used the gold coins on the table to try to create a fusion reaction with the Amethyst Rose.

The gold did not live up to Samuel's expectations, and it did merge with the amethyst rose, but the fusion was not complete enough to be called a magic potion.

After the experiment reached this point, Samuel was able to confirm that the dragon blood absorbed by the Amethyst Rose was definitely not the blood of the Amethyst Dragon, but at the very least, it had to be the blood of the Gemstone Dragon.

Gold, as a high-grade product among mineral dragons, can only be semi-fused with the amethyst rose. This shows that the magic content of the amethyst rose and the level of dragon blood concentration are much higher than Samuel thought.

"If a large amount of gold is used or the gold itself is purified, is it possible to meet the minimum standards for making amethyst rose potions..."

The current world of magicians, also known as academia, is somewhat purified.

Especially for the purification of copper, a large amount of copper can be melted together, and then a large amount of magic power can be poured into it, so that it can be purified into a high-grade magic metal like orichalcum.

But the loss ratio is very large. On average, one thousand kilograms of copper can be purified into one kilogram of orichalcum, which is a ratio of 1000:1.

As for fine gold and mithril, Samuel had never heard of any kingdom that was so rich and spent so many gold coins just to get a little fine gold.

"Yeah...it seems like this potion can't be made."

Samuel also didn't expect that his first mission to Amethyst Island would end in failure.
