This thing is very useful.

Soren carefully put the Soul Stone away. Although he, a half-baked Wizard, couldn't use it, Goria, the genuine Northern Witch, could. Whether for trading with Devil or summoning low- to mid-level Devil to watch, it would be very useful to Soren. Moreover, Medium Devil already possess Divinity. Furthermore, Devil of this level can provide a high amount of Slaughter Experience, almost enough for Soren to level up one class.

Everything inside the Dragon Nest was transported to the pirate ship.

However, Soren found himself in a bit of a predicament when dealing with the carcass of this Adult White Dragon. Strictly speaking, the dragon's carcass was the most useful thing, because it could produce Supernatural Equipment. Considering how long Soren had been working and he still hadn't collected a full set of Supernatural Equipment, one could see just how rare such equipment was. The Dragon Hide of Adult White Dragon, after some processing, could become Tier 1 extraordinary Dragonhide Armor; after some enchanting and refining, it could become Tier 2 extraordinary Dragonhide Armor; and the best parts of the hide could even be used to make Tier 3 extraordinary Dragonhide Armor or even Legendary Dragonhide Armor.

Even if Soren didn't wear Leather Armor, he could still use it to arm his core subordinates!

Then there's Dragon Blood, Dragon Bone, Dragon Meat, and so on. Basically, Pure-blood Dragon is a treasure trove, and even if many parts are poisonous, there are corresponding ways to neutralize them.

The White Dragon's flesh and blood are poisonous.

Many parts of this food are extremely cold in nature, and eating them indiscriminately could be fatal!

Many of the epic heroes who dared to eat Dragon Meat directly possessed terrifyingly high Constitution, often reaching 24 or 25, so they could easily consume even the highly venomous Wyvern. Soren, however, dared not eat the White Dragon's flesh; if even he couldn't, his subordinates would be even less likely to. Therefore, they had to find a way to transport it back, but that was also a problem, as the White Dragon's carcass weighed approximately 20 tons. This weight was equivalent to a large truck, making it virtually impossible to transport the entire carcass by manpower.

Therefore, it could only be cut open by Soren and transported back.

However, cutting it up is also a problem. It would reduce the value of the dragon, and even if it were cut into a one-ton chunk of meat, it would still need to be cut into more than twenty pieces in the end.

It's easy to imagine!

The hide on one of the dragons had almost completely separated.

The greatest value of Dragonhide Armor lies in a single piece of Dragon Hide, or even the entire body covered in Dragon Scale, so cutting it open would definitely be a losing proposition.

In the end, having no other choice, Soren had to skin the animal himself!

He peeled off the relatively intact parts of the White Dragon's corpse before him. Then he discarded some of the flesh and blood, while collecting the more valuable parts. Dragon Blood was difficult to store because it coagulated easily. Soren only stored the highest quality Dragon Blood near the heart, which was intended for Alchemy. The rest of the ordinary Dragon Blood was filled into six large vats, but it all solidified into large blood clots. This Alchemy impractical, but it could be used as Dragon Blood ink for Scroll Scribing.

Anyway, we have plenty of our own mages!

Vivian will need this frequently in the future, Soren himself will also need some; take everything he can.

The Dragon Bone was transported to the ship whole, with Soren preserving the spine intact. This was extremely useful; it could even be used to build Legendary Warship.

Using Dragon Bone as the Dragon Bone of Warship will make naval battles an absolute game-changer!

Although the Dragon Wing were somewhat damaged, Soren still carefully peeled them off with his Scimitar and then carefully folded them aside.

Since the Dragon Bone of Dragon is used as the Dragon Bone of the Warship, then the Dragon Wing are naturally used as sails.

If you're going to do it, do the whole thing!

Soren dismembered a pile of various kinds of flesh and bones and loaded them onto the Warship. By the time he finished, it was almost dark.

All the valuable items were transported up.

In the end, all that was left were large chunks of meat and a complete dragon head.

"Install everything that can be installed."

Soren stretched his aching wrists. To be honest, skinning Dragon was no easy task; he had been cutting it open almost non-stop. By the end, he was exhausted, as if he had fought a war of attrition. The meat was inedible for now, but the apothecaries and priests in the city knew how to remove the poison, so he could sell it to others for a high price. Anyway, Soren wasn't particularly curious about Dragon Meat; he had eaten it many times before, and it was impossible to cook it properly.

Dragon Meat can only be roasted; it cannot be cooked in boiling water at around 100 degrees Celsius.

This delayed half a day.

Soren finally finished everything and returned to the Warship with his equally exhausted men. Half of his men were dead; those who died in battle had to be buried on the spot. Finally, they had to dismantle the more than twenty-ton Dragon and transport it from the north of the island to the ship. By the time they returned, almost everyone was exhausted, and many were leaning against the deck, panting.

A long night can bring many unforeseen events!

After transporting the goods back, Soren set sail and headed directly towards the entrance to the sea in the North.

He's going to the North Tower.

Although there was a slight delay, we estimate we'll reach Deepwater Harbor the day after tomorrow, and then head along the official road to Goria's Wizard Tower. The gifts we've received this time are undoubtedly quite generous, including Porcelain, Spice, and Silk brought from the East, as well as Diamond, Dragon Bone, Dragon Blood, and other treasures that Soren has acquired this time.

Such a large sum of money is enough to serve as a princess's betrothal gift!

Soren had always felt indebted to Goria, and now that he had the chance to repay her, he naturally wanted to find a way to do so tenfold.

The moon was bright and the stars were few.

Soren stood on the deck, gazing into the distance, toying with a deep blue Diamond in his hand. The Diamond refracted a dreamlike, mesmerizing light under the moonlight, captivating anyone who looked upon it. It had to be said, this Diamond was truly beautiful. Soren had acquired some Diamond as spoils of war before, but this was the first time he had ever seen one so exquisite. He wondered where the White Dragon had found it. Soren felt that such a Diamond couldn't have remained unknown; it must have a long history.

Soren played with it for a moment, then put it away.

Then he retrieved a piece of overseas wood from the ship, similar to Red Sandalwood. This wood had a faint fragrance, elegant and not overpowering, which made one feel refreshed. Soren drew his Scimitar and earnestly crafted it into an exquisite wooden box, even using his superb knife skills to carve intricate patterns on it.

His strength has reached that level.

He has essentially mastered the art of carving; Soren's skill in carving has already reached a master level.

After doing all that.

Soren found a piece of smooth, exquisite Silk, then spread it out and folded it inside the box. After doing all this, he picked up the box, looked at it, and finally placed the azure Diamond inside.

Snap!

He gently closed the box and then nodded in satisfaction.

Soren has always been a very sincere person.

So since he was planning to give Goria some gifts, he naturally wanted to do his best.

The overseas voyage remained quite boring, and it wasn't until the afternoon of the second day that he approached the Deepwater Harbor. His men were already waiting there. Soren docked the Warship in the harbor and then arranged for the goods to be transported there. In fact, there was a lot to transport, and even though Soren was reluctant, he still alerted the other people in the port.

Because of a dragon's head.

Transporting such a large shipment would definitely require hiring horse-drawn carriages, and Soren had already arranged for a caravan to be sent there, carrying Porcelain, Spice, and Silk from the East.

Now we're shipping another batch of gifts.

This was difficult to conceal from the diverse community of Deepwater Harbor, so when everyone else learned of the Throat Cutter's arrival, and even that he had killed the Adult White Dragon who had previously harassed the area, the entire Deepwater Harbor erupted in excitement. Many felt uneasy, wondering if the southern pirates were preparing to march on the North Coast. Others, eager for the profits of overseas Trade, or perhaps for other reasons, tried to establish connections with Soren.

Unconsciously!

The existence of the Throat Cutter has spread throughout the nearby seas, and the name itself seems to carry a hint of power.

Very troublesome social engagements.

Soren essentially rejected everything, leaving only a minor leader to guard the Warship. A message had already been sent back to Shipwreck Bay a fleet would arrive in about seven days; Soren had a considerable amount of cargo to transport back. The rest of the journey was rather tedious. With such a large contingent, virtually no monsters in the wilderness dared to attack, so Soren arrived calmly at Goria's territory.

I don't know why!

As Soren approached the area once more, and was about to see Goria, he felt a strange sense of nervousness.

(P. S.: Two updates today. Mwah!) (To be continued~^~)
