Chapter 200 — The Butterfly God's Gift
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 4 of 6
"A dragon scale from one of my companions. It, too, is a token of friendship from the Sunken Mirage City beneath the sea. There is nothing else I can give you, so take this. It is one of the Eastern Dragon Clan's main strongholds in Mirage City; perhaps you can go there and dig out more of the mysteries of its bloodline, and better break through your limits."
The Butterfly God had given up all pretense. Since it could not complete its own gift, it simply shunted Shi Jin off to its companion.
"A sea dragon scale..." Hua Che was taken aback at the sight of the scale.
Lin Youshuo had once raised a green floss-worm, which ultimately evolved into a Divine Feather Phoenix Butterfly, and had also raised a dragon carp, which evolved into a sea dragon and married into Listening Snow City.
Indeed, just as the Butterfly God had said, this was an important token from Tongxuan Frost City.
Judging by the look of it, this dragon scale had been gathering dust for a long time, yet its energy and draconic majesty remained vigorous; its grade was likely no lower than seventh-tier.
This was good too!
"Many thanks." Shi Jin's expression changed with astonishing speed.
"Buggy, hurry up and thank the Butterfly God." He looked exactly like a parent collecting New Year's money on his child's behalf.
"Mm!" Buggy also swiftly thanked the Butterfly God and tucked the dragon scale into its spatial pouch.
With this, could it also materialize a powerful sea dragon?
Just like when it had used the Ice Dragon's Whisker.
At this moment, Shi Jin was well content.
With the Imaginary Dragon skill in hand, whether Buggy raised its racial grade now truly did not matter so much.
But a token of friendship from Tongxuan Frost City—that was far too precious. That place was an absolute maritime hegemonic power, where Overlord-tier dragon-types were everywhere and even Totem dragon-types numbered several.
It was precisely because the Dragon Emperor had cultivated friendly ties with the Sunken Mirage City beneath the sea that he could vigorously develop Donghuang's naval power and hold absolute hegemony over its coastal waters.
"Then let it be so. You may go." Having finished hosting the Metamorphosis Butterfly Convention, the Divine Feather Phoenix Butterfly was sleepy again and had no intention of keeping Shi Jin and the others any longer; nor did it have any further curiosity about Buggy.
"Hua Xiajin, I have fulfilled my part of the agreement for this Metamorphosis Butterfly Convention. Do not forget your responsibility."
"Very well." Hua Xiajin sighed.
"We will not forget."
Shi Qi turned toward Hua Che—was there some other agreement between humanity and the Divine Feather Phoenix Butterfly?
Legend Hua Xiajin said nothing. Powerful as it was, the Divine Feather Phoenix Butterfly had been raised by humans ever since it was a green floss-worm, and its wish was in truth very simple: after a hundred years of loneliness, it merely wanted to find its own Beastmaster again. To this day, throughout all of Donghuang, no one had ever given up searching for the missing Lin Youshuo—and this, too, was one of the bonds linking Donghuang to those guardian deities Lin Feng had left behind.
...
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
Just as Legend Hua Xiajin had predicted, an enormous uproar had already erupted.
Online, the Metamorphosis Butterfly Convention—the birth of a mysterious butterfly of Overlord race—had in one stroke buried every other news story and shot to the top of the trending list.
Yet though people described the Imaginary Butterfly's evolution process and dreamlike bearing in words of breathless wonder, information about this evolved form and its Beastmaster remained unknown.
At present, only a handful of people could know the full picture through the information Hua Che had left behind.
