From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

"The next one, Viscount Clober, comes from the Amethyst Rose family."

Krober walked forward slowly and saluted Archduke Veronica who was sitting on the throne.

"Greetings to His Excellency the Grand Duke!"

"Get up."

Krober stood up. The unfamiliar surname and face made all the nobles pay attention to him curiously.

"Amethyst Rose? I don't think I've ever heard of this last name? Could it be that some family bred the potion elf and changed her last name?"

A richly dressed noble asked his companion beside him.

"This must be the lucky guy who discovered the new island. I heard that the island is called Amethyst Island.

Hey, it’s not important!

Anyway, he is just a viscount, and he is still so young. Even if he is extremely talented, he is at most a great knight, and there is nothing worthy of our attention. "

"That's true. It's just a new family with a shallow background. I'm afraid they can't prepare a decent gift."

They set their sights on Earl Stephen who was standing aside.

"Master Stephen, I'm afraid the gift you bring this time won't be for the one at the bottom."

One of the nobles taunted Stephen.

"snort!"

Earl Stephen's face darkened, not because the guy next to him was trying to hurt him, but because he recognized the so-called Viscount Amethyst Rose.

Krober!

Stephen rubbed his brow anxiously, thanking him for attending the banquet this time.

On the way, Stephen calmed down and through the review of the past few days, he was able to confirm the day when the Moonlight Mushroom family began to decline.

It was after Krober adopted the Golden Rose family.

The Moonlight Mushroom Earldom he ruled became weak.

Especially before Krober was adopted, he legally belonged to Stephen's people.

But that stupid Krall sent this genius away abruptly!

Sent to the Golden Rose family!

And this triggered a series of stories. Why did Grand Duke Veronica choose to gather in Corolla City?

Why did Clobber become the royal herald?

If he really can't see that there's something fishy about it, then he shouldn't be a count!

It's no secret that Archduke Veronica likes good-looking boys. It's obvious that Krober is attracted by the Archduke.

Thanks to Krober's influence, the Golden Rose family and Daniel, the old and immortal man, actually got the chance to be promoted to Marquis!

No wonder Krober was still listening quietly when he was admonishing in front of the throne. If the Grand Duke was able to promote Daniel to Marquis, Krober must have contributed a lot.

He hates it!

He almost hated that stupid guy to death. He not only gave away a son, but also gave away the hope of a family's future!

Arman, Arman, why couldn't you control yourself back then?

If you want a child, the worst case scenario is that I will give you my child!

How could you give birth to such an idiot...

(How about it, so much plot foreshadowing, just for this, there are many more plots about Stephen later)

Count Stephen, who knew Krober's identity, didn't think that Krober couldn't come up with anything good.

The news that Krober discovered the new island has been known to everyone in the principality for a long time, and Count Stephen, who is the mortal enemy of the Golden Rose family, naturally also knows it.

And through the spies' information, Earl Stephen already knew that Marquis Daniel had a gryphon companion.

What this meant, Stephen knew very well.

He knew that his old rival and neighbor already had a ticket to the Phantom Beast Knight.

And him!

Still lingering in the realm of Earth Knight.

This severe sense of gap eroded Earl Stephen's heart, and he was unwilling to be pulled too far apart by the Golden Rose family.

That's why he spent most of his family's savings to buy the magic potion to break through the Sky Knight.

"call……"

Earl Stephen exhaled slowly, and he warned himself to try to maintain his rationality and control his emotions now.

"I wonder what gift Krobo will give the Grand Duke? With his grandfather's help, it shouldn't be too shabby. It should be some kind of gemstone equipment. This value is more in line with his title and strength."

Earl Stephen, like everyone else, began to wonder what gift the newly promoted viscount would give to the Grand Duke.

"Bring it in!"

Krober clapped his hands and motioned to the soldiers outside the door to carry in the gifts he had prepared.

Because it was wrapped in cloth, no one could tell what it was for a while.

Only the marquis above the strength of the Sky Knights and Duke Veronica sitting on the throne sensed the huge amount of magic contained in it.

"This...this is!"

The first person to lose his composure was none other than Cropper's grandfather, Marquis Daniel.

Marquis Daniel's proud perception told him that Krober's gift contained a lot of magic power.

If you infiltrate spiritual power into it, you can even feel the violent fluctuations contained in it.

And this kind of fluctuation belongs to a powerful magical creature-a dragon!

A standard-sized gemstone costs hundreds of thousands of gold coins at its cheapest. The gem Krober brought with him is at least the size of a cube...

Marquis Daniel felt that his mind could no longer calculate.

One, ten, hundreds, thousands, ten thousand, one hundred thousand, millions, tens of millions, billions...

Good guy!

This raw gemstone would cost 100 million gold coins!

(The author made a miscalculation before. He only remembered length x width and forgot x height, which is 10x10x10=1000)

Even in Corolla City, which is famous for its wealth, one year's tax revenue can barely match 1% of this gem.

In other words, this raw gem mine is worth a hundred years of tax revenue from Corolla City. How can this not surprise Marquis Daniel?

"You're such a good grandson, even your grandfather hid this matter, which almost made me lose face."

Looking at the nobles all around who looked at him with surprise or curiosity, Marquis Daniel snorted before slowly sitting back in his seat.

"Pull away."

Krober's light words came, and the soldiers on the side quickly pulled off the covering, revealing its original appearance.

"hiss!"

"This! What is this!"

"OMG!"

"Here comes the dragon!"

The moment Krober showed his birthday gift, the nobles present took a breath.

The dragon is on top!

What did they see?

They dared to swear on dozens of generations of their ancestors that they had never seen such a huge gem.

Yes, after Krober had the raw gemstone polished, it had turned into a one cubic meter oval deep purple gemstone.

It itself exudes a mysterious and alluring light.

The texture of this gem is like silky satin, warm to the touch without any roughness.

The light flows on its surface, reflecting the unpredictable light, like a mysterious pearl from the starry sky.

Its color, deep purple with delicate changes, is like the color of ripe grapes in the sun, rich and deep.

This color gives people a sense of nobility and elegance, while also revealing a mysterious atmosphere.

"I'm telling you, Grand Duke, this is the raw purple gemstone I dug in the territory. After appraisal by the magicians in the territory, it has been confirmed that this gemstone has three properties:

The first is recovery. Wearing equipment made of this kind of gemstone can speed up the recovery of fighting energy in the body, which ranges from about 50% to 100%.

The second is physical fitness. Wearing purple gems can stimulate the magic contained in them through fighting spirit, which can enhance one's physical fitness in a short period of time.

The third is a special ability, which I named critical strike.

To put it simply, a critical hit can increase the wearer's attack power and cause higher damage to the enemy.

But it is not achieved through methods such as increasing strength.

I don’t know the specific principle of critical attack, so I can only share it with you after the results of the investigation are available later. "

Krober slowly finished describing the bonus effect of this gem on knights.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the eyes of the nobles around him had completely changed.

If they were still shocked by Krober's generosity just now, their eyes looking at Krober now were full of passion.

If Archduke Veronica wasn't still sitting on the throne, I'm afraid they would have rushed forward to touch this high-level magic gem in person.

Yes, everyone present is from a major noble family, so they naturally know that the gems produced by the Magic Gem Dragon are gems with various bonus abilities.

It is precisely because of this that they are even more enthusiastic about this kind of high-end goods.
