The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Chapter 336: I would call you the strongest... clowns!

Atilan found it amusing and immediately drew his bow and aimed at the girl.

"Do you know that the Green Mulberry Fruit on this mountaintop absorbs the earth's energy and has been on the tree for over a hundred years? As long as the Green Mulberry Fruit isn't picked, it will continue to absorb the earth's energy and improve."

"Eating the Green Mulberry Fruit now would allow me to directly raise my ranger level to 10! With this power, I can return to my hometown."

"I will defeat the pure-blooded elf rangers who have always looked down on me. I will let them know that half-elf rangers are no worse than them!"

The girl raised her curved blade, her eyes revealing a sharp glint.

"The Green Mulberry Fruit cannot be given to someone like you, whose heart is full of desire!"

The old rascal weakly raised his hand.

"Actually, as long as this half-elf eats the Green Mulberry Fruit, he can use ranger healing magic to heal my leg. The Green Mulberry Fruit can be given to him completely."

"Besides, no one has picked the Green Mulberry Fruit for a hundred years. There might be several ripe Green Mulberry Fruits on the tree. Everyone doesn't need to fight; there's enough for everyone."

The girl shook her head.

"I don't need it. If a warrior relies on the power of magic, they won't be able to become the strongest warrior!"

The old rascal looked at the girl with some confusion.

"But isn't your dream to become the world's greatest alchemist?"

The girl smiled, a faint cyan battle aura burning around her body.

"Becoming the world's greatest alchemist is indeed my dream, but I'm not limited to having only one dream. I also dream that one day, I can become a legendary warrior!"

Woman, your name is Greed!

Atilan, disguised as a half-elf, smiled contemptuously.

"I was also thinking of relying on the natural magic of the Green Mulberry Fruit to enhance my affinity with nature, allowing me to become a legendary ranger! Without enough affinity with nature, it's impossible to become the greatest alchemist."

"It seems that only one of us can live to reach the Green Mulberry Tree."

The old rascal was stunned. Was this part of the script?

Wasn't the plot supposed to be you, playing the evil half-elf ranger, chasing us all the way to the Green Mulberry Tree, and then I help her eat the Green Mulberry Fruit, gaining the power to defeat you?

Testing the faith of the destined, leading them to the correct path of justice.

Why did you add so many lines for yourself?

The girl looked at Atilan in confusion.

"What does becoming the strongest alchemist have to do with affinity with nature? Isn't it just me finding the most powerful herbs and concocting them into the most powerful potions?"

The old rascal couldn't help but complain:

"Do you think it's easy to unleash the power of those best herbs?"

The girl actually asked back:

"Isn't it?"

The old rascal sighed. He shouldn't have had any hope for her after hearing that the girl was a warrior.

"Only professions like druids and mages, who can fully understand the properties of herbs, can coordinate and match the power of herbs to perfection, while you, a warrior..."

"You even lack the means to extract all the effective ingredients from the herbs. You can't possibly just chew them all up with your mouth, or crush them with a mortar and pestle, can you?"

The girl's eyes widened.

"But the alchemists I've seen all use this method to process medicinal materials?!"

Atilan put away his bow.

"It would be a waste to use arrows on you. Someone like you can't possibly gain the Green Mulberry Tree's approval."

Watching Atilan's departing figure, the girl angrily came back and carried the old rascal on her back.

"Grandpa, we're going to find the Green Mulberry Tree too. I don't believe I'm inferior to that annoying guy!"

Having only taken two steps, they suddenly heard an excited shout from behind.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

The girl turned around and saw a young man carrying a large backpack, running enthusiastically towards them.

"I've been lost in the mountains for almost half a month, and the salt I brought is almost used up. I've finally seen living people."

The girl stared at the young man warily.

"Are you here to find the Rainbow Crystal Fruit too?"

"Rainbow Crystal Fruit? What is that? Is it also a material for forging weapons?"

The girl saw that the top of the young man's backpack did indeed have a forging hammer.

"Are you a blacksmith?"

The young man shook his head, smiling and revealing a mouthful of white teeth, pointing at himself with his thumb.

"I am a swordsmith, the strongest swordsmith in the continent's future!"

The old rascal was indifferent and speechless.

Why are all the people attracted by the Rainbow Road like this? Opening their mouths and closing them with "the strongest." Don't young people nowadays know what humility is?

The girl asked curiously:

"The strongest swordsmith in the continent's future, what are you looking for in the mountains?"

"Legend has it that there is a giant beast blessed by the rainbow, and its breath will turn into rainbow light. Every few decades, the giant beast will shed some teeth, claws, and scales."

"Using these materials containing the power of the rainbow, you can forge the strongest magic sword on the continent, the Rainbow Heart!"

"When I forge the Rainbow Heart, I will be the strongest swordsmith on the continent!"

The girl nodded firmly.

"I, the strongest alchemist in the continent's future, acknowledge you!"

"You're also the strongest?"

The young man's eyes lit up immediately.

Why is it rainbows again?

The old rascal was puzzled. Could it be that using the Rainbow Road as a guide would attract a group of confident, even arrogant, young people looking for rainbow materials?

However, they do fit the requirements of a kind person with steadfast faith set by him and Atilan.

Looking at the two young people who were mutually praising each other and already grinning foolishly, the old rascal's mood was very complicated.

Just then, a young man in a cloak quickly came to the three of them from the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the long sword at his waist, the young man looked at him curiously.

"Are you the strongest swordsman in the continent's future?"

The general in disguise was stunned. He didn't understand why someone would ask such a question right off the bat.

"No, I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have such a great dream as becoming the strongest swordsman on the continent. I just want to protect the people around me."

"Just like the Rainbow Hero."

Rainbow Hero?

The old rascal asked curiously:

"Don't tell me he's also an existence who walks around with a rainbow?"

The general nodded.

"Legend has it that the arrival of the Rainbow Hero will light up a rainbow in the sky. The curse of Bloodstone Fortress was suddenly lifted, it must have been done by a righteous powerhouse."

A powerhouse is a powerhouse, but the old rascal isn't sure whether he's righteous or not.

"So you want to see the Rainbow Hero, inherit the Rainbow Hero's profession, and become a swordsman hero protecting the continent?"

The swordsmith clapped his hands.

"Legend has it that the last divine sword forged, the Rainbow Heart, was promoted by a swordsman with a righteous heart who traveled the continent to relieve dangers and save lives."

"Could it be the Rainbow Hero you're talking about?"

The general was a little excited.

"The divine sword Rainbow Heart, can possessing this sword save the common people of the continent from disaster?"

The swordsmith proudly raised his head and pounded his chest.

"Of course! Didn't the Sun King barely support the royal territory and retain the last territory of the Northern Kingdom by relying on a magic dragon tooth?"

“My Rainbow Heart is much stronger than his Dragon Demon Tooth!”

The general frowned and asked, “Isn't the sword in the Sun King's hand called the Flame Dragon Tooth? Why do you call it the Dragon Demon Tooth?”

“Because this Flame Dragon Tooth is a weapon forged with evil magic, and my Rainbow Heart is full of justice, whether it's the materials or the craftsmanship!”

The general nodded in understanding.

“I see. The Rainbow Heart is a sword of justice, and the swordsman who uses the Rainbow Heart is naturally a person of justice!”

The swordsmith's eyes were filled with approval.

“You truly understand me. I believe you will definitely gain the Rainbow Heart's approval and become the new Rainbow Hero!”

Attilan walked ahead for a long time, but no one followed. He turned back curiously to see what was happening.

As a result, he heard a conversation that was supposed to be blood-boiling, but wasn't. It just gave him goosebumps all over.

What era is this? He actually encountered two such chuuni people.

The pharmacist suddenly took out her strongest potion scroll.

“This Rainbow Crystal Potion record says that this potion, in the hands of a certain pharmacist, displayed the effect of saving the world, and is therefore known as the strongest potion on the continent.”

“Could it be the Rainbow Hero! The Rainbow Hero and the Rainbow Crystal Potion sound like a perfect match.”

Attilan was also stunned. He didn't expect that the dreams of the three destined people attracted by the Rainbow Road were actually related to rainbows.

And it sounded like they were all quite unreliable.

The Rainbow Hero sounded the most likely to be real. The probability of forging the divine sword Rainbow Heart was very low, but not completely impossible.

The Rainbow Crystal Potion had absolutely no chance of being realized. Attilan didn't believe that a potion that could cure all injuries and even revive the dead really existed.

Could the Rainbow Hero be someone who was revived after taking the Rainbow Crystal Potion, and whose body was transformed by the power of the Rainbow Crystal Potion?

The information about the Rainbow items and people that the three people obtained from different perspectives could be linked together, unless some ancient person was bored and playing a prank.

Then the Rainbow Hero, and his divine sword, and his potion, should be real.

After communicating, the three people discovered that they were all guided to Green Mulberry Mountain by the rainbow.

They immediately felt that it was a call of destiny, and that the Green Mulberry Mountain peak must have the clues they wanted.

They immediately excitedly carried the Old Urchin up the mountain.

It's just that the person carrying the Old Urchin changed from a young girl to a rough man.

“Wow, young man, how long have you not taken a bath?”

The general smelled the scent and was a little embarrassed.

“I have been stationed at the Crimson Fortress these days to guard against enemy attacks, and I really haven't had time to take a bath.”

The Old Urchin quickly pinched his nose.

“I know there is a mountain spring, you and that kid over there can go and wash up.”

“But aren't we in a hurry to go to the top of the mountain?”

“You all said that destiny is guiding you, then the clues will naturally not run away, and will always be waiting for you to go to the top of the mountain.”

“Is that so?”

The Old Urchin couldn't help but take a breath.

“I'm old, listen to me!”

The two strong young men went into the water to take a bath, and the young girl's curious eyes shone.

The Old Urchin asked suspiciously:

“The half-elf from before was much more handsome than these two, right? Why didn't I see you get excited? Wipe your mouth, the drool is about to come out.”

The young girl subconsciously reached out her hand, but found that there was no drool.

“How can that be the same? That half-elf is as thin as a bamboo pole, and these two are full of muscles. As warriors, we naturally like people like them.”

“Just having a good-looking face and no strength at all, who would like such a man?”

Attilan twitched the corner of his mouth in secret. He didn't expect that the image he carefully chose was actually disliked. Obviously, most girls would like handsome half-elves.

Obviously, it's not that the half-elf he transformed into wasn't handsome, it's that the pharmacist's aesthetics were problematic.

After taking a bath, the four people slowly rushed to the Green Mulberry Tree.

Attilan, who had been waiting for the actor to take his place, sighed silently.

He stimulated the Green Mulberry Tree, and the vines wrapped around the tree trunk turned into whips, constantly whipping him, and finally knocked him flying. He did a triple somersault in the air.

He landed handsomely beside the four people.

“You only came up the mountain after so long. So you went to find helpers. What? You don't think that having more people will allow you to get the Green Mulberry Fruit, do you?”

The young girl curled her lips.

“We are not interested in the Green Mulberry Fruit. We can even help you get it, but you must use it to treat the old man after you get it. If there are more, you must give one to the old man.”

“What do you say? Do you agree?”

Attilan nodded pretentiously.

“No problem, anyway, you can only eat one Green Mulberry Fruit in your life.”

Then Attilan rushed up again.

As a result, he fought with the vines for several minutes, but never received support from the three people.

Looking back, they were actually holding the swordsmith's pickaxe and digging frantically on the land outside the Green Mulberry Tree's coverage area on the top of the mountain.

Attilan retreated to the side of the group.

“What are you doing? Why aren't you supporting me?”

The young girl raised her dirt-covered face.

“Ah? Why did you rush up? We thought about digging around here first to see if there were any clues, and then go to the Green Mulberry Tree to find them.”

Attilan frowned and asked:

“What clues? What are you here to find?”

The swordsmith took out his sword manual, and the pharmacist took out her pharmacopoeia.

“The sword-making materials mentioned above!”

“The medicine-making materials mentioned above!”

The young girl's eyes suddenly lit up.

“That's right, you are a half-elf, you have a longer lifespan than us, and you know elves who have lived longer. Have you ever seen the herbs above?”

No, you were so hostile to me just now, how did you suddenly become friends with me?

“People who appear here are all attracted by the rainbow and are righteous people related to the Rainbow Hero, so you should ask if they are not bad people. Do you know any stories about rainbows?”

Just because of that?

Just because the three of you who want to become the strongest are good people, you think that other people who appear here are also good people, right?

“I only know that the continent has undergone drastic changes. The materials recorded in the scrolls from thousands or tens of thousands of years ago have probably been lost or extinct.”

“The land becomes the ocean, the ocean becomes the land. Maybe you can find the materials you want by going to the bottom of the sea.”

Attilan saw that the three people were actually seriously considering whether to go to the bottom of the sea to find materials.

He could only say that he was willing to call them the strongest… clowns!

“If there are rainbow materials, then they must be under the Green Mulberry Tree. Maybe the Green Mulberry Fruit that grows out is red, purple, or green when it is ripe, and is related to rainbows?”

The young girl immediately raised her pickaxe and waved it forward excitedly.

“Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly dig open the soil under the roots of the Green Mulberry Tree and take a look!”

Attilan blinked. I just said it casually, and you actually believed it?
