This scene stunned the three Initial Tier beside her, who were currently unable to comprehend the ability Seraphina had demonstrated.
The three of them instinctively reached out, wanting to touch the green light that seemed to be frozen in mid-air.
"Don't touch it."
Seraphina's tone suddenly turned stern:
" The Green Dragon has Authority over poisons; don't cross this line if you don't want to die."
The three of them recoiled as if electrocuted, staring sullenly at the green mark.
Seraphina seemed to understand what the three of them were thinking, and blew a breath toward the trace containing the poison.
"Phew~"
The green, condensed radiance quickly dissipated into nothingness.
How could the power contained in merely an incomplete scale compare to that of Seraphina's true form?
Seemingly quite satisfied with the genuine product, and perhaps also enjoying the thrill of showing off, the Dragon Girl nodded happily and said with satisfaction:
"These are the real dragon scales, from a Green Dragon."
"It's really good stuff."
After the demonstration, Seraphina pressed the dragon scales back onto the mechanical arm with the Lion Hidden in the Eyes.
The translucent dragon scales seemed to have lost some of their luster, but they still possessed the power to inflict poison damage upon attack.
Seeing that there was nothing more for him to do, he decided to turn around and leave.
Having been fooled by the counterfeit goods, Seraphina also lost interest in Gray's little general store, put on her hood, and continued to stroll around.
Once again, only Gray and Nora remained in the mobile fortress, which had been mostly empty of guests.
The two retracted their robotic arms, closed the business area on the side of the fortress early, and returned to their living area on the second floor.
Gray sat in a chair, while Nora lay on her side on the bed. The two remained silent for a long time.
Gray suddenly said:
Something's strange.
"Yes, something's strange."
Nora chimed in:
"Both robotic arms, inlaid with dragon scales, were made by the same craftsman. Why are the scales of the Amber Dragon fake, while the scales of the Green Dragon are real?"
"And..."
Gray stroked his thick beard:
"There's more than one craftsman in the Great Labyrinth City who can manufacture scale-like mechanical arms. Scale-like mechanical arms have been prevalent throughout the Graycast Corridor for decades, so this matter is definitely not that simple."
"If all the Amber Dragon scales are fake, then it could very well lead to a major incident."
"You mean?"
Nora's expression was one of surprise and uncertainty.
That's exactly what I mean.
Gray's expression was serious:
"Besides that one, have you heard of any other Amber Dragon?"
As he spoke, he took out paper and pen from the drawer and began to write a draft report to be submitted to the higher-ups of the Great Labyrinth City.
He was originally just a small-time merchant, and in principle, he shouldn't have had such authority.
However, in the past few months, Gray Griss's name has appeared before the group of high-ranking officials of the Great Labyrinth City multiple times.
He escaped death, opened up trade routes, introduced technology, and captured the Blood Corpse Count...
Each and every single one of these incidents deserves to be discussed in detail.
Although he did not do many of the things, such as capturing the Blood Corpse Count, he was, after all, the current owner of the ship's engine, so some honors that did not belong to him were quickly pinned on his head.
His repeated appearances in the reports successfully attracted the attention of the higher-ups in the Graycast Corridor. After meeting the Grand Foundry Master once, Gray also gained the qualification to submit reports directly to the higher-ups in the Great Labyrinth City.
Although confiscating counterfeit goods was not within his official duties, he could argue that the existence of counterfeit goods severely damaged the reputation of the Graycast Corridor, lowered its image in the eyes of the Second Holy See's administrators, and could have immeasurable consequences for future trade...
In short, after Gray had put several serious accusations on him, he believed that the higher-ups at Graycast Corridor would take this matter seriously.
Moreover, if this matter eventually escalates into a major case, then my chances of passing the second round of selection for the Grand Foundry Master will be even greater.
Thinking this, he had already written a rough draft, and after roughly reviewing it, he placed the special letter paper in front of Nora:
"Could you help me polish it up?"
Nora pointed at herself, her face filled with disbelief.
Gray's face fell upon seeing this:
"I begged the Grand Foundry Master for three days and three nights before I finally secured a chance to take you away from the Graycast Corridor..."
"You only met with him for fifteen minutes!"
"Never mind that for now. Anyway, I've done so much, and now you can't even help me copy a report..."
"Okay, okay, stop talking."
Nora shook her head, took the paper and pen, and began to polish and copy.
After a few minutes, she suddenly stopped writing and asked:
Should this identification process be described in detail or summarized?
A brief summary should suffice.
Gray thought for a moment and said:
"It says: 'After examination by a professional... no, 'After examination by a real dragon, it can be concluded that the Amber Dragon scales are essentially made of flaky minerals with Psionic Energy Circuit, while the Green Dragon scales are confirmed to be genuine.'"
Seraphina strolled away from the bustling areas of Valhalla and arrived near a forest on the edge of the area.
Continue in this direction, and you'll reach a river that isn't too rapid after passing through this forest.
After crossing this river, Seraphina will arrive at her first clan settlement— Dragonborn Village.
Although Dragonborn Village has been nominally transformed into the Dragonborn Labor Dispatch Company, the village remains in its original location.
Many of the young and middle-aged Dragonborn have scattered to every corner of Valhalla. Apart from the elderly and children, the only remaining people are the blacksmiths who continue to ensure steel production.
It was only when Seraphina was identifying the genuine dragon scales that she realized something: the birth of the Dragonborn Village originated from a dragon scale she had casually bestowed upon a group of refugees a hundred years ago.
Then the group of refugees evolved into Dragonborn, established the village, and began metal smelting and the worship of her.
But as time passed, and by the time Dragonborn Village was reorganized, Seraphina realized that she had never actually been to the village.
Her communication with the village has always relied on successive village chiefs and the agile young Dragonborn in the village.
Even after Ed invited him out of the mountains, he never made a special trip to visit his clan's residence.
The more Seraphina thought about it, the more curious she became.
She quickly located her detached scale and began to move along the shortest path.
Suddenly, a large tree blocked the way in the middle of the forest path. Seraphina, who didn't want to turn, casually pressed down on it, intending to crush it with her super strength. However, the moment her hand touched the tree, the tree, which hadn't even sprouted yet, turned into a pool of viscous substance in a puff of green poisonous smoke.
