The middle-aged half-elf woman hurriedly shouted, "Put me down, put me down, I'm suffocating."

Tiberus, blinded by the light, released the small figure and asked, "What is this?"

"It's exactly as it sounds, the scale of Vocatrix!" the other party exclaimed, striking a confident pose.

Both Su Li and Lauren realized simultaneously that this wasn't the Dwarven divine artifact, but a scale from the ancient divine beast, the Giant Dragon·Vocatrix!

Indeed, the other party confirmed Su Li's guess, proudly saying, "I don't know if this scale was never collected by the Dwarves, or if it was broken during Vocatrix's battles with other divine beasts in ancient times."

"But in any case, us half-elves always seem to have a fate with these powerful enchanted artifacts. On my travels, I stumbled upon a volcanic eruption, and in the ashes of the volcanic lava, I found a fragment of this scale. It is undoubtedly a mythical-level material from ancient times."

Su Li didn't expect that he would encounter mythical-level material so soon after entering this world. However, after the initial shock, he quickly accepted this fact.

In terms of range and territory, he should have encountered items of this caliber.

This world has buried too many powerful relics and materials throughout history. With the vast and majestic landscape of the Hesse Territory, if he could explore it thoroughly as a lord, he would surely come across one or two precious materials.

In fact, every powerful lord's treasure vault typically holds one or two of these primitive top-tier treasures.

Even if they might not be used for hundreds or thousands of years, as a collectable treasure, having it in a vault enhances the noble aura of the family.

Su Li then took a deep breath and asked, "So what effect does this scale have?"

When it came to effects, the half-elf looked a bit embarrassed, losing her confidence. She looked at Su Li, bracing herself and said, "It's indeed effective in battle! When activated with bloodline power, it can emit powerful dragon might, causing surrounding enemies to become weak for at least half a minute, with their attacks becoming frail, defense becoming chaotic, and even movement speed reduced significantly."

So upon active activation, it applies a debuff to enemies in range, reducing attack by 30, melee defense by 30, movement speed by 30, and charge power by 30%?

With a duration of only half a minute, it seems fairly mediocre.

Su Li asked, "How many times can it be used?"

"Used... infinitely! If you can drag the war long enough, for a cycle, that is."

So it can be used once per cycle!

Su Li suddenly lost interest, no wonder even a half-elf could retain such a powerful mythical-level item.

Although it's a high-grade item, as a raw material, its functionality is rather limited.

Just like a handful of soil, no matter how high the quality, if not used for farming, it's just that in the ground.

The dragon scale is the same, if not crafted into a divine weapon, its effect as a dragon scale is less than that of a piece of rune armor.

However, it might have a miraculous effect against Dwarf bullets, if placed on a heart-protecting mirror, it could block a few extra shots by chance.

Su Li then asked, "Does it have any other effects besides this active activation?"

"Yes, my Lord. Carrying it will make you appear as majestic as a dragon, exuding nobility. When I took it out of my pocket and carried it with me, others said I looked like a noble. If you carry it, you would exude an emperor-like noble aura without even trying."

So carrying this mythical dragon scale gives one the noble aura of a true dragon emperor?

Tiberus's earlier reaction confirmed this, as no powerful Champion Knight would usually give a second glance to a frail half-elf.

Now this effect, Su Li found interesting.

After all, in his heart, he still believed in the aura of destiny.

If a warlock told a man that he was naturally noble, wrapped with dragon qi, and had the appearance of a born emperor, that would be the highest compliment a man could receive. What man could refuse such temptation?

Moreover, the daily intelligence system had indeed revealed that Philis was his most important aid in ascending the throne. This implies that he indeed has the potential to become the Emperor of the Empire.

If he were to have this dragon qi entwining him as well as the emperor's aura, that would be remarkable.

However, Su Li quickly remembered that he was here to recruit top talents to solve the sanitation and order issues of his territory.

Matters like the emperor's aura are ephemeral. No matter how noble one looks, without the power to back it, it's just fluff.

If he truly hoped to ascend to the throne, recruiting heroes and attracting talents was the most important thing.

So Su Li furrowed his brows and scolded, "Didn't I say we need items that can solve the sanitation and order issues of the territory? What's the use of this item?"

"It's useful~ It's useful! Really useful!" the half-elf immediately got anxious and said. "This is, after all, a treasure from the ancient divine beast, the Giant Dragon Tyrant. Have you ever seen a dragon's surrounding environment dirty or smelly? Isn't it always resplendent and bright?"

"And this divine beast's dragon scale enhances that effect to the extreme. It has a decree-level rule, Decree: Land of Dustlessness. Within a 2 to 3-meter range around it, all excrement, stench, and decay will be incinerated by intense flames."
