The two exaggeratedly large emeralds that Frame took over calmly disappeared into Sil's palm in the blink of an eye.
Of course Syl didn't find it strange.
It's just a simple space magic, he can use it too. And its biggest limitation is that it cannot transfer living bodies.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have had to work so hard to make belts from suitable leaves to hold these dragon eggs, but would have directly used space magic to solve the trouble of traveling.
Moreover, unless one has a talent with space attributes, both Syl and Frame need to perform complex conversions of the original magic power to use it, and the conversion efficiency is usually very low.
The longer the storage time, the loss of magic power increases almost geometrically - after personally experiencing that more than half of the magic pool is consumed, I can only lie down and wait for the magic core to rotate slowly, After the uncomfortable feeling of replenishing the magic pool, Ciel stayed away from those magics with particularly low cost performance.
As the most powerful existence on the island, Frame is also a flame dragon that has reached adulthood early. The magic power reserve in his body has already reached a point where other dragons are unwilling to accept it. Worry about these concepts of loss.
Syl watched helplessly as he took the emerald away naturally, and immediately activated his magic again. Suddenly, a huge emerald appeared in the center of his claws. The edges and corners were not polished at all, but were rough and transparent Wearing a bright and wealthy... fire-red gem.
"for you."
Frame naturally put this oversized gem with many edges and corners, and only the strong dragon scales would not feel prickly, into the palm of Ciel's hand that he wanted to stretch back: "It looks better than the green one."
he said confidently.
The fiery red gems shine brilliantly under the diffusion of the sun's rays. The beauty presented is different from every angle, either bright or dark, like a dazzling kaleidoscope, or like a cluster of living flowers. The fire is trapped in the clear and transparent crystal, which is breathtaking.
It is completely different from the beauty of the emerald, which was carefully rubbed by the Dragon Clan with the hard yet soft palm scales and polished by himself with precious patience. It is round, smooth, without any edges and corners, and extremely delicate.
Cyr: "...Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness, but I really don't need this."
Frame tilted his head, seeming a little confused.
Syl had to emphasize: "And those two emeralds are not my property. I am not exchanging them with you. I want you to return them to their true owners."
Although he didn't think that with Frame's strength, he needed to steal these two emeralds, it was better to speak clearly.
He reluctantly wanted to return the ruby to the other party. Frame neither accepted it nor refused it explicitly. He just looked at him steadily: "Why not?"
Syl thought for a while and simply asked this big fire dragon, who was described by the water dragon couple and the wind dragon Wend as the same 'uncomprehending fighting maniac': "I don't hate gems, but I don't have any special interest in them. In In my eyes, beautiful stones are just like the rock slabs that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, the empty shells filled with gravel on the beach, and the rainwater accumulated on the leaves. They are good-looking, but there is no big difference in function, and they will not Makes me want to possess it. I heard from my friends that you are not particularly interested in gems, am I wrong?"
Frame curled his little finger, as if thinking: "You are not mistaken."
He said seriously: "I don't like it either. But, I thought you would like it."
After all, except for him, he has never seen any weird dragons who are not interested in big gems.
Even the most powerful dragon cannot stop the slander of other dragons. There are countless dragons like "fighting maniacs", "violent lunatics", "romantic bastards" and "those who never accept love" placed on his head. Weird nicknames, "No matter how sexy the female dragon is, in his eyes is as ordinary as an ordinary monster walking, almost like a blind person".
Frame knew a little bit, but he didn't care.
——No matter how much they disliked him, they couldn't beat him at all. They could only be beaten to the ground by this strange dragon until they shed tears and runny noses.
But this little golden dragon is different.
Frame couldn't tell exactly why it was different, but... he was happy to get close to the other party.
So, to Ciel's surprise, he successfully made the big fire dragon accept this explanation.
Frame did not force Syl to take it away, nor did he rush to stuff the gems back into his pocket. Instead, he placed them on the ground without any care. In Syl's hesitant eyes, he explained: "I have many. .When your little dragon hatches, some of them will like it."
Syl blinked and asked out of curiosity: "Why?"
Frame originally wanted to blurt out, 'No dragon would refuse such a big gem,' but there was the only example on Dragon Island in front of him, so he changed his mind: "What is sealed in it is my magic power. As long as it is a fire attribute dragon, You will definitely like it.”
"Your magic?"
Syl was startled.
He is just a little out of touch with the Dragon Clan's common sense, which relies entirely on inherited memories, but he is by no means an idiot.
When Frame said this, he instantly understood why he felt the redness of the gem before, giving him a feeling of vitality and eagerness to try when the red light flowed.
He reacted quickly: "Then can you recognize that it is Wood's gem, and it is also because his magic power is sealed in it?"
Frame said succinctly: "Yes."
Sil asked a few more questions, and soon got the answer from Frame: Whether it is emerald or ruby, they are essentially non-attributed gems produced by the mineral vein in the center of Dragon Island. They can be used to a certain extent. The magic power that stores the user's attributes.
"This is actually not an ordinary gem, but a magic diamond."
Syl looked dazed and muttered to himself.
During the dozen years he had lived on the human continent, he had heard about the existence of magic diamonds from some drunken low-level magicians in the tavern.
The lowest level of magic power storage items are magic particles, followed by the most common magic stones and magic iron, and then there are specific grades of magic tools forged from forged magic stones...the most precious ones are magic diamonds. .
The crown of the human king on that continent was inlaid with a priceless brown magic diamond that was sought after by high-level magicians. It seemed to be the size of an adult's fist.
It is said that it was obtained with great difficulty by a warrior hundreds of years ago after desperately killing a bear-like earth-type monster that was entrenched in the depths of the magic forest.
And this big fire dragon carelessly dropped it at his door. No matter how you look at it, it is much bigger than a human fist - not to mention that it contains the dragon's magic power.
Seeing that Syl's eyes seemed a little shaken, Frame asked proactively: "Do you want to try it? The stone dyed golden must also look good."
Without waiting for Syl's response, the big fire dragon naturally took out a handful of smaller, crystal-clear, crystal-like magic diamond rough stones and placed them in Syl's palm.
The feeling of the original stone falling in the palm of your hand is like a piece of ice wrapped in layers of soft towels. It is refreshing and cool, and it is a very comfortable touch, not freezing.
"Is it really possible?"
Syl is indeed curious about the legendary energy gems that can be dyed by DIY.
Frame nodded.
After being encouraged by the other party, Seal didn't hesitate and decided to give it a try - anyway, he didn't intend to possess the finished product, he was just trying it.
He has never done anything to transfer magic power to the magic diamond, but the operation of turning the original magic power into tentacles to explore outside has been done long ago when he used it to sense whether there was any vitality left in the dragon egg.
Relying on this exquisite self-taught skill, he successfully sent out a ray of original magic power under Frame's gaze——
The first thing that invaded this transparent rough stone was a wisp of golden mist like the afterglow of the setting sun.
The golden mist becomes more and more concrete and refined, forming into strands of strands, and then tightly intertwined with each other, like morning mist falling on green leaves, accumulating more and more, accumulating more and more. Dense, and finally merged into clear and transparent water droplets, gathering into a small lake.
After soaking in the gentle breeze and drizzle, a drop of solid and bright gold suddenly entered, and it spread out as quickly as ink falling into the clear water, from the shocking gold to the dancing ribbon-like layers of floating colors. Huang is completely opposite to the previous one from virtuality to reality, but it is also so beautiful that it takes the viewer's breath away.
Frame stared unblinkingly at this magic diamond with a lustrous color, magnificent and noble gold, obviously fascinated by this unprecedented and extremely delicate scene of infection.
But Siel was almost tired of playing.
After changing three or four more ways to output magic power and finding that the final result was the same, he stopped dyeing stones.
Seeing that Frame was still staring, he directly returned the five golden magic diamonds dyed this time, together with the remaining raw materials, to Frame: "Thank you, if you are willing, please Take it.”
"good."
Frame responded simply, and without any explanation, he scattered a handful of rubies of different sizes on the ground, like a pile of shining red stars: "It's an exchange of gifts. The little dragon will like it."
His tone was relaxed, as if the dragon clan, which was notoriously selfish and greedy, really had this ridiculously generous tradition.
——But he succeeded in fooling Syl, who had just arrived.
Moreover, the little Golden Dragon, who has lived as a human being for so long, still thinks more like humans. Of course, he cannot escape the trap of "novice parents make the best money".
If Frame directly said it was for him, he would probably refuse.
But when it came to the little dragon, the other party still spoke in a tone that was so sure that the little dragon would break out of its shell. He also knew that there were indeed two fire-attribute dragon cubs in the dragon egg... Considering this, he really couldn't refuse.
Syl thought for a moment.
He saw that although the diamonds sent by Frame were also magic diamonds, they were much smaller and less regular in shape. They were probably just scraps.
Seeing Frame's casual gesture, he thought that the value probably wouldn't be too high, so he could find a way to reciprocate in the future.
So he no longer struggled and chose to accept it: "Then I'm welcome. Thank you."
It was rare to see a dragon who was so well versed in etiquette and would be careful about his feelings when doing things. Ciel's impression of Flame improved a lot from the original "somewhat weird" to a level second only to the water dragon couple and the wind dragon Wende.
Seemingly aware of Syl's softened attitude, Frame immediately began to push forward with a calm face: "Since we are friends, can I come tomorrow?"
