701 < 698Th 2. Non-Dragon Researcher (3) >

* * *

Successfully captured the non-dragon, a golden glow spilled out, and a system message came to mind that had been waiting for Ian's eyes.

- Tyring!

- You've captured a lot of non-dragons.

- Significantly increases your understanding of summoned ‘non-dragons’.

- You earned the title 'Specialist of Non-Dragons’.

And Ian, who confirmed it, became very proud.

“Khh, finally...! ”

As a summoner so far, Ian has had over a hundred different 'specialists’ titles playing this Kailan.

Since there are hundreds of different kinds of summons that he has studied in this way, it's actually not that new to get this specialist title.

But so far, capturing Nogada and capturing this non-dragon was a little different.

It was also a capture nogadai for a long time, but the first capture nogada in the intermediate realm meant a lot.

It took more time and effort to get an expert title than it did to capture ordinary monsters on the ground.

‘Expert title, although most of them have similar kinds of effects.... But I'm gonna have to check it out, right? ’

Ian had some expectations and opened an information window with a new title.

It's the first professional title I've come across in the middle, with the expectation that something might be different.

- A non-dragon expert.

Rank: Hero (transcendent)

This title is given to the Summoner who specializes in non-dragon research.

The title Pina earned after her efforts will help her further research on non-dragons in the future.

# Wear Effects

- You can only find it by observing a non-dragon with high potential.

- Fixedly increases your chances of catching non-dragons by 15 percent.

# Retention

- Build rapport with non-dragons faster.

- When using a non-dragon as a summoner, all combat abilities of the non-dragon are increased by 3%.

- When killing a non-dragon, you may get a low chance to obtain a 'Golden Scale’ item.

* Title cannot be duplicated.

When Ian first started reading the non-dragon expert title, he was not particularly impressed.

It was almost the same with every other expert title I had until I checked the two wear effects.

But as soon as he saw the one line of options that were added at the end of the 'Retention effect’, Ian had to curl his eyes.

It was the kind of option I'd never seen before while playing Kailan.

“Golden... Scale? ”

Moreover, the name 'Golden Scale’ itself was giving Ian something intense.

‘Golden Saddle. And a golden scale... ’

According to Ian's information, the Golden Saddle is a material used to evolve a non-dragon into an "iron armored dragon."

Then I had a hunch that this‘ golden scale ’item with a similar name would also be used for a similar purpose.

‘Well, that's what you get when you find out. ’

Ian's eyes, which had one more thing to study, began to twinkle.

* * *

The capture of Ian Nogada, wearing the title 'non-dragon specialist’, began to proceed at a faster pace.

The capture probability up effect of 15 percent on the title almost doubled the capture rate.

The perceived effect was enormous, as it was an absolute increase rather than a proportional to the existing probability.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully defeated the Dragon!

- 3,598 XP.

- 330 Merchant Coins.

- You have successfully captured the Dragon!

- You have successfully captured the Dragon!

- You have successfully defeated the Dragon!

- EXP +3331.

- Earned 290 Dragon Coins.

…… Snapshot……

As Ian became even more angry for half a day, he was able to finally obtain the 'Golden Scale’ item.

- Tyring!

- You have successfully defeated the Dragon!

- Gain 3,701 XP.

- 345 Dragon Coins.

- You won the 'Golden Scale’ item!

As soon as he saw the message he had been waiting for, Ian unknowingly clenched both fists.

“Azak, it's finally here. I think I actually caught 1,000.... ”

A 'golden scale’ item that demonstrated a terrifying drop rate because the ‘low probability’ supporting description felt clumsy.

But as soon as Ian checked the information pane of this scale item, he felt like his fatigue had gone away for a few days.

It was because the prediction that I had when I first got my title was correct.

- Golden Scale

Rank: Legend (transcendent)

Classification: General Goods

A rare elune with a golden glow that has a low chance of being obtained from a non-dragon.

This scale is said to be able to evolve into a 'celestial dragon’ only if it has great potential.

It's hard to find a colony of non-dragons, but it's even harder to get these scales out of them.

Bring it to Pontenas, the master of the Hundred Degrees, and you can sell it for a high price.

* Consumable items that can evolve 'non-dragons’ into ‘non-dragons'.

* The higher your birth potential, the more likely you are to succeed in evolution.

* This item belongs to the user ‘Ian’.

Not transferable to another user or available for sale, and will not be dropped even if the character dies.

“As expected……. The Golden Scale was also used to evolve non-dragons. ”

Over the past few days, Ian has discovered a total of seven celestial dragons while venturing near the nest of non-dragons.

However, no matter what I tried, it seemed impossible to capture them, and I was almost certain that there was another way to get them.

Does this leave one final experiment for the ultimate armored dragon? ’

In total, Ian learned three things through his research.

First, there are two ways to evolve a non-dragon: the Golden Saddle, or the Golden Scale.

Second, if a non-dragon evolves using the Golden Saddle, it becomes an iron armor-piercing dragon. If a non-dragon evolves using the Golden Scale, it becomes a celestial dragon.

Third, two of the four unique abilities a non-dragon can have are fixed unique abilities and the other two are random acquired unique abilities.

So now that one fact is confirmed, Ian was able to start Nogada to create the strongest armored dragon.

‘If you use the Golden Saddle on a non-cheon dragon that has evolved into a golden scale... …. We need to make sure that evolution can happen again. ’

If only a part of the non-celestial dragon can be ascertained as to whether an ’evolvable' object can be born, Ian will be able to obtain a mythical-grade armored dragon as originally planned.

‘Now that we have ten non-dragons that can already evolve... …. I'm going to be scaling all day today. We should plow five or six golden scales and try to evolve at the same time. ’

Ian devised a plan that would be unimaginable if he wasn't an ordinary no-good mind, completely transforming his fighting stance.

So far, if you've run a capture based battle, you've now switched to a setting to kill as many non-dragons as you can.

And then I slept through the night.

- Tyring!

- You won the 'Golden Scale’ item!

- You currently have 5 ‘Golden Scales’.

All the preparations for the experiment have finally been completed.

Ian thought that the biggest merit of the summoned ‘Iron Armored Dragon’ was that he could, of course, share his stats on board.

This was a new conceptual ability that no summoner had ever seen in Kailan before, and was hand-to-hand at gunfights (?), because it was a revolutionary system.

That's why Ian took great care in selecting non-dragons to evolve.

‘Even non-dragon active skills are good enough, but their unique abilities must be passive. ’

Every non-dragon is born with its own ‘acceleration’ and ‘breath of wind’ abilities.

It was Ian's research task to determine which of the remaining two unique abilities was best, in which Ian considered the two unique abilities to be the best:

* Heart of the Wind (Passive) (30 minutes cooldown)

When attacked by an attack that reduces health by less than 1 percent, the "invincible" protective shield temporarily activates around the non-dragon.

The shield lasts for 10 seconds, restoring 15 percent of the maximum health of a non-dragon at the same time it disappears.

While the shield lasts, the non-dragon's agility is doubled.

* Blessing of the Wind (Passive)

Blessed by the Wind, non-dragons grow stronger than ordinary ones.

All non-dragon stats are increased by 10 percent.

When entering combat, additionally increases the non-dragon's agility and attack power (Level × 50).

After all, Ian focused on what were the abilities that could make the non-dragon's abilities provoke the most.

In that sense, Ian could say that the synergy of his unique abilities was substantial.

‘Accelerated agility up to 1.5x……. If you activate the Wind Blessing Passive and the Heart of Wind here, it will be 3.3 times more likely to burst with agility. ’

According to Pontenas, the tetrarch master, Iron Armor Dragon shares nearly half of his combat abilities with the Summoner.

And it was no exaggeration to say that if half of these poppy stats came to Ian, he would become more than 1.5 times more powerful than Ian's combat abilities.

‘Khh, I want to try it quickly...! ’

After all the arrangements had been made in his mind, Ian summoned a non-dragon that he had prepared first.

- Summoned non-dragon.

An evolutionarily perfect material set as Ian intended, not only in an ‘evolvable’ state due to its high potential, but also up to its unique capabilities.

Ian, who double-checked his information window, swallowed a dry needle without even knowing it.

Gulp.

It took a tremendous effort to capture one of these guys.

‘It's almost impossible without an expert title, and I'm thinking of picking one in half a day……. ’

Ian currently had five non-dragons set up like this.

It matches the golden scale and the number you have.

Ian reaches out to the stately baby dragon, standing still, gazing at his eyes.

Then I stroked his head and whispered small.

“Take care, Number One. ”

“Grrr?”

“Mythical grade armored dragon, Gazua...! ”

Non-dragons may not understand it, but this spell truly captures Ian's desperate aspiration!

And the next moment, a brilliant golden light began to emanate from the body of the non-dragon.

- You used the 'Golden Scale’ item.

- Summoned ‘Non Dragon’ begins to evade scales.

And the status window of the non-dragon reminded me of a short phrase that I had seen for a long time.

- Evolving.
