"What?"
"Is it really just this useless trash that is needed?"
"This is too easy!"
According to the worldview of the Reincarnated Slime world,
mana, as the fundamental substance constituting the material world, almost exists in every corner of this world.
Whether in humans or monsters, or in the air and water, there is actually the presence of mana, just in varying amounts.
And as one of the five dragon species in the world,
the amount of mana in Veldora's body can be described as vast.
Before being sealed, this sealed cave was just an ordinary mountain cave.
But with Veldora's existence,
the mana overflowing from his body alone caused a large number of rocks in the cave to mutate, transforming into rare magic ores.
It was precisely because of this,
that when Lynn heard he needed magic ores to activate the ability to traverse worlds, Veldora immediately took action.
First, he let out a thunderous roar.
Then, a huge black hole appeared in front of him.
And in the next moment—
Rustle…
In front of Lynn's stunned expression,
countless crystal stones emitting a rainbow glow poured out from the black hole!
"Is this enough?"
"If it's not enough, I can get more for you!"
"Stop!"
"Enough!"
"It's more than enough!"
Faced with the pile of magic ores that had almost formed a small mountain, Lynn quickly stopped Veldora.
Because he discovered through his Appraisal Eye,
the ores piled in front of him were not magic ores at all,
but refined magic steel blocks!
The amount of mana contained in these magic steel blocks far exceeded that of magic ores!
To put it simply,
a fist-sized magic steel block was enough for him to open the portal two or three times.
But if it were the same volume of magic ores, it would take at least twenty blocks to achieve the same effect.
The difference was really too great!
As for the pile of magic steel blocks in front of him, if added together, they were probably enough for Lynn to traverse worlds hundreds of times!
Indeed,
the energy to traverse worlds was indeed something Lynn wanted as much as possible.
But he was very clear about when to stop.
After all, even when taking advantage of someone, one shouldn't strip them bare.
Especially when he noticed,
Veldora's breathing had become slightly heavier when he looked at him, indicating that producing so many magic steel blocks had put some strain on him.
So in the end,
he decisively stopped Veldora.
But after hearing his words,
the Storm Dragon still seemed a bit reluctant.
"Is this enough?"
"If it's not enough, I can get more for you."
Producing magic steel blocks was not difficult for Veldora.
After all, as long as he consumed mana, he could do it, and what he lacked the most was mana.
However, if he consumed too much mana, he would need time to recover.
Although he really wanted to continue showing off in front of his friend,
since Lynn said it was enough, it was fine to stop for now.
"If I need more in the future, I'll let you know."
"Thank you, Veldora."
Although Veldora was considered a disaster monster, he was truly a great friend.
Noticing the concern and sincerity in his eyes,
Lynn put all the magic steel blocks into his backpack and thanked him sincerely.
"We are friends!"
"Besides, this is just a small matter for me."
Perhaps it was the first time experiencing this?
Upon hearing Lynn's thanks, Veldora unexpectedly became a bit bashful,
as if it made him very shy,
and a bit at a loss.
But after a bit of bashfulness,
in the end,
Veldora's gaze fell on the portal next to Lynn.
"Is this door connecting to the space-time you are in?"
Lynn's ability to traverse space-time was something Veldora was very curious about.
Especially after witnessing the opening of the portal with his own eyes, he became like a child, looking left and right, unable to stop.
"That's right."
"Crossing this door will take you to my world."
"Unfortunately, you can't cross this door."
"Otherwise, I could take you to tour my world."
In Lynn's view,
the curiosity and longing in Veldora's eyes were impossible to hide.
Realizing this,
in the next moment, Lynn took the initiative to speak and expressed his regret.
"That's right."
"Even if I wasn't sealed in the Infinite Prison, I probably couldn't enter this door."
"This door is probably exclusive to you and can't be used by a second person."
Lynn's words made Veldora pause for a moment.
Then,
he extended his dragon claw and probed the portal, finding a faint mist blocking him, and soon showed a disappointed expression.
His powerful instincts as a dragon made him clearly realize that with his strength, he couldn't break through that mist,
even if he wasn't sealed.
Because this involved the interference of the world's laws, unless his elder brother, the Star King Dragon, were present, it would be impossible to ignore this barrier.
"This…"
"I actually can't completely rule out the possibility of bringing someone through this door."
"But…"
Lynn saw all of Veldora's expressions,
which made him subconsciously scratch his head, his face showing a bit of hesitation.
To be honest,
taking Veldora away wasn't impossible.
Don't forget that Lynn had the ability to dominate subordinates.
As long as he made Veldora his subordinate, taking him away shouldn't be a problem.
But…
should he really take Veldora away?
Not to mention that Veldora was the biggest support for the Demon King at the beginning, just the chain reactions that might be triggered by taking Veldora away made him unsure whether he should do it.
After all,
in the original plot, it was the disappearance of the Storm Dragon that triggered a series of subsequent events, leading to the Demon King founding the Demon Kingdom Federation.
If the Storm Dragon disappeared early and the Demon King wasn't around,
what would happen next was really beyond Lynn's control!
Moreover,
the impact of bringing a dragon to modern society was really unpredictable.
After careful consideration,
Lynn was truly conflicted.
But his subconscious words were not ignored by Veldora.
So in the next second,
a pair of huge dragon eyes filled with expectation immediately appeared in front of Lynn—
"Just what?"
"Is there a price to be paid?"
"It doesn't matter!"
"Whatever the price, as long as you can take me away!"
"Anyway, I… don't want to stay in this boring place anymore!"
