noon.

Sturgeon Wharf, the dark hold of a cargo ship.

When Puppet No. 2 captured the Crescent Castle in the front, Rosen stayed in the back and gave remote commands.

At this time, he was sitting cross-legged on a pile of hay mat, holding a small, simple pottery jar in his hand.

This is the 'Dragon's Blessing' potion stolen from Sir Alais.

The overall situation of Crescent Castle was determined, and Levin immediately delivered this thing to him.

This potion is the trump card of the forest spirit witch master, which is similar to the trump card in the victory chess game and has the direct effect of determining the outcome of a game of chess.

Imagine a scenario.

Hundreds of forest elf warriors or rebellious human knights drank this stuff and turned into invulnerable giant warriors. They quietly approached Crescent City at midnight, climbed into the city from the outer city wall that was less than 4 meters high, and killed civilians wantonly.

It will definitely cause extremely horrific casualties.

If this were to happen, the good start he had just created would be completely ruined.

Therefore, we must come up with effective countermeasures quickly.

First, set up a concealment magic circle. Its main function is to block the fluctuation of magic power so that people outside the ship, especially Selena, will not discover the movement in the cabin.

Then, he used the wizard's hand to catch a few mice from the cabin, put them into a wooden cage made temporarily by transfiguration, and fed each mouse with some "Dragon's Blessing".

The potion was dark red in color and gave off a faint smell of rust. After being fed into the mice's stomachs, a metallic luster suddenly appeared on the surface of their bodies. Their tempers also became extremely violent, and they began to constantly hit the wooden cages.

"Bang~Bang~Crack~Crack~"

Just a few hits created cracks in the 1 cm thick wooden board.

"Hmm~ This strength increase is huge."

Rats are small, so the growth rate is naturally much greater than that of humans. However, if they were applied to humans, it is estimated that they could increase their strength by one or two times.

If the strength is doubled based on that of a high-level warrior, the physical strength will directly surpass that of a combat master.

'I don't know if spell resistance has been improved.'

Spell resistance, to be more precise, is the ability to resist spell energy.

There are many types of spell energy, so specific issues must be analyzed specifically.

Rosen first tried the basic psychic spell "Telepathy" on the mouse.

I quickly came to the conclusion: "Psychic resistance has also increased significantly, suggesting that the difficulty has increased several times."

This is bad news.

The will of a high-level warrior is already quite strong. After the burst of fighting spirit, the mental resistance will be greatly increased. If it is further enhanced by potions, he will almost be immune to mental spells.

Of course, if he used a very high-level mental spell, he would definitely be able to forcibly break through the opponent's mental defense, but in doing so, not only would he himself be taking a huge risk, but the image of a low-level wizard that he had carefully maintained would also be ruined.

Rosen continued testing other types of spell resistance.

Common spell types such as arcane, force, lightning, fire, ice, etc. were tested one by one.

As a result, it was found that all spell resistances were greatly improved, and with the warrior's fighting spirit, it was possible to completely ignore ordinary spell attacks.

"Hey, not only is it invulnerable to swords and guns, it's also impervious to water and fire. This potion is ridiculously strong!"

The potion was called 'Dragon's Blessing' and its color was dark red. Rosen couldn't help but suspect that this thing was a product made from dragon blood, and most likely the blood of a purebred dragon.

Because dragons from other worlds really exist, ordinary people can often see mixed-blood dragons.

Rosen once saw a terrestrial dragon in a circus with his own eyes. It was about the same size as an African elephant.

Although I have never seen a pure-bred dragon, many records show that a pure-bred dragon is just such a hexagonal warrior.

The situation is becoming increasingly difficult.

"What shall we do?"

After thinking for a while, he tried to use various dispelling spells.

Levin’s previous attempt to dispel the spell had failed, but Levin was a puppet after all, with limited capabilities, and the types of dispelling spells he could perform were less than one-third of the original body.

At this time, Rosen changed 15 kinds of dispel spells in succession, various dispel spells from one ring to five rings of strength, tried one by one, but all were ineffective.

"Oh my god, do I have to use a dispel spell of level 5 or above?"

After thinking about it, I decided to use a 6-ring "Finger of Forbidden Magic" on the mouse.

This type of high-level dispel spell was invented by him himself. There are currently five of them in total, and this is the lowest-level one.

Although it is the lowest ring, it is always effective and has never failed to dispel it.

He raised his finger, made a strange hand gesture, and pointed at the mouse.

"ban!"

There was no extra light or sound, but the spell was already effective.

Suddenly, a ball of blood-red light appeared on the mouse's body. It lasted for about five or six seconds. After the light disappeared, the effect of the potion also disappeared.

"Tsk tsk~ You actually want me to use the Six-Ring Dispelling Technique?"

Rosen felt relieved now that he could dispel the evil, but the six-ring dispelling technique was too advanced and consumed a lot of mana, so he would not use it if possible.

It's better to use more common coping methods.

"What on earth is this potion made of?"

Dragon blood was just Rosen's guess and it couldn't be taken as accurate.

But he was not proficient in Potions.

Fortunately, he has a wizard under his command who is proficient in potions.

"When we get to Crescent Castle, show this medicine to Wei Ge. Maybe she has a trick to dispel it."

But as a lord, the worst thing to do is to put all your bets on one place.

If you win the bet, it's fine. If you lose, at best you will lose a lot of wealth, and at worst you will lose a lot of lives.

Therefore, we must be prepared for everything, even three or four times, to ensure safety as much as possible.

What if Wei Ge couldn't do anything? How should he deal with this powerful medicine jar warrior? Soon, Rosen had a new idea.

"Since it's hard to deal with it using magic, I'll just go back to the traditional way and let the warriors chop with swords."

But first, we need to understand how tough this powerful dragon warrior is.

Thinking of this, Rosen took out a pure steel dagger and tried to cut the rat's body with a little force.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak~~"

A slightly harsh sound was heard. Looking at the mouse again, a lot of its hair was broken, but there was only an inconspicuous white mark on its skin. Even its body was not crushed by the force of the dagger.

It looks like a small piece of iron in the shape of a mouse.

Rosen didn't believe it.

"I want to see how hard your body can be."

He just didn't believe that there was a shield in this world that couldn't be pierced by a spear.

Codlin said that he used all his strength to strike with the axe, but could only leave a shallow blood mark on Alais's body.

Although the bloodstain is shallow, it means that the defense can be broken.

"The weapons of the island knights are very ordinary, and the battle axe is made of cast iron. Even with such an iron axe, it can cause bloody marks. What about the arrows made of high-carbon steel?"

He used Transfiguration to transform the steel dagger in his hand into a sharp needle and poked the rat skin with a little force.

It really went in.

But you can also feel a lot of resistance. It feels soft and tough, and is many times harder to pierce than cowhide.

In a head-on battle, such huge resistance would be very disadvantageous. Even if it were to penetrate, it would be difficult to cause fatal damage.

Therefore, ordinary carbon steel is still not good enough.

"If you want the arrow to poke hard, the material must be hard."

"What's hard and cheap?"

An answer popped up immediately.

"diamond!"

"Ordinary diamonds won't work. Although they are hard enough, they are too brittle. But I can process them with magic, and they should be usable."

Diamonds are hard enough, they are made of carbon, and the raw material is everywhere.

Using 5-ring strength transfiguration alchemy, Rosen can create artificial diamonds.

Just do it when you think of it.

Rosen cut a piece of wood from the hull and used transmutation alchemy to remove impurities. After a while, he obtained a diamond spike.

He then used the fourth ring of strength of 'Solidity' on the diamond spike.

Under the effect of the spell, the dazzling diamond suddenly showed a strange metallic luster.

Finally, use advanced permanence on it to make the spell effect permanent.

After the processing was completed, Rosen picked up the extremely sharp diamond spike and nailed it on the pure steel dagger with a little force.

With a "ding" sound, the pure steel dagger was pierced, as easy as using a steel needle to pierce human skin.

He used this thing to poke the reinforced mouse, and with a "poof" sound, the mouse was pierced through.

This method is very effective.

Considering that this potion warrior possesses tremendous strength, it is very difficult to fight him head-on, and there will inevitably be heavy casualties, so the best way is to shoot him with arrows.

Find a few archers, use diamond arrows, and specifically snipe these potion warriors. It is safe and effective.

Moreover, there is no need for a pure diamond arrowhead sleeve. Just a small amount is needed and put on the surface of the arrowhead of an existing ordinary iron arrow to achieve the same killing effect.

Among the supplies transported this time, there were about 20,000 iron arrows.

Rosen quietly went to the dock warehouse and took back a dozen bundles, about three hundred iron arrows, and began to modify them quickly.

He grinned as he made the changes: "Hey, you have a dragon warrior, and I have a dragon-slaying arrow."

He also thought of an explanation for the origin of the arrow.

He told others that it was the princess's dowry, and told the princess that it was the trump card given to him by Muradi.

Diamonds are not particularly rare, and no one would spend a lot of money to trace their origins.

After the transformation of the 300 diamond dragon-slaying arrows was completed, Rosen also made a few additional diamond daggers for self-defense.

After being busy for such a while, I have consumed about 50% of my magic power, which is still relatively relaxing.

Only then did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

After waiting for a while, there was a lot of noise coming from the direction of the dock. It turned out that the Crescent Knight who came to pick us up had arrived.

Using my mind’s eye and observing quietly, I saw that the dock had become very lively.

After a while, Selena, protected by Alia, boarded the high-end travel carriage that was shipped on the ship, and was protected by a group of Crescent Knights in the middle and rushed to Crescent City.

In front and behind the carriage was a long queue of people, who were the subjects recruited from Crescent City to help transport supplies.

At the same time, Levin was patrolling the nearby mountains and forests to ensure that the team was not ambushed by forest elves.

Everything was going according to Rosen's plan.

As Rosen watched the high-end travel carriage go away, an idea came to his mind.

"The Dragon's Blessing Potion is no longer a concern, but the forest elf witch master in the forest has not figured out the situation yet."

Not understanding means unknown power, and the unknown means danger.

After a little thought, Rosen came up with a preliminary countermeasure.

"I am a lord, and I have many subordinates. There is no need for me to take risks and deal with this sorcery master myself."

"Also, let Levin investigate thoroughly."

It can also be guessed that the sorcery master on the opposite side probably has the same idea.

"So, this is another victory game. It all depends on who makes the better move."
