Chapter 603: 194. A few genuine products_2

First, he had to find knowledge-related books about natural resources.

Whether it was exploration resources or excavation resources, Noland Lee accepted everything. As long as a book could unlock Knowledge Skills, it was a good book.

Secondly, he had to find books related to Magic Thief Society and the ancient Dragon Clan.

Collecting books on the Magic Thief Society was for finding inspiration in the flexible use of “Magic theft.”

The Path of the Wizard and the Fundamentals of Magic only briefly mentioned the extraordinary aspects of the Magic Thief Society and did not detail their actions.

Today, the Magic Thief Society has become history, dating back at least a thousand years.

This wizard force is not as famous as the Dragon Clan, and its influence is not as great as that of the Dragon Clan, so finding historical materials about it should be a bit troublesome.

In comparison, ancient relics related to the Dragon Clan are not uncommon in the Freedom Marketplace.

As a race that exists in legends, people have a strong curiosity and exploration desire for dragons.

As a result, many fake products are produced.

Noland Lee saw no less than a hundred counterfeit items made with modern Magic Craft techniques when he walked through a street alley, and these counterfeit items were all related to the Dragon Clan.

The number of counterfeits far exceeded the authentic ones, with real ones becoming rare in ten thousand cases.

With so many races disappearing in the river of history, why do counterfeit makers focus on the Dragon Clan?

The answer is related to the Spinning Continent, 1000 kilometers south of the Suman Archipelago.

The Spinning Continent is the only place in this world where dragons are found. The Suman Archipelago is the only human territory adjacent to the Spinning Continent.

More than half of the Extraordinary who came and went to the Suman Archipelago were attracted by the Spinning Continent’s strange features.

The Spinning Continent, as the name suggests, is a continent that flies and rotates continuously in the sky. Under the influence of centrifugal force, it periodically throws Dragon Clan treasures out of the continent. These treasures are dragged with long tail flames and fall into the vast sea beyond the Spinning Continent.

The vast majority of dragon clan treasures have sunk to the seabed, and only a small part can be captured by sailing ships waiting on the sea surface, and then traded in the Freedom Marketplace.

The Magic Items Exchange in the center of the Freedom Marketplace was specifically set up for trading Dragon Clan treasures.

Dragon treasures don’t mean “treasures produced by the Dragon Clan.” As the overlord of the last era, the Dragon Clan plundered precious resources from other tribes and stuffed them into their treasure trove, becoming part of the Dragon clan collection.

According to statistical data, less than one-tenth of the captured Dragon Clan treasures were self-made by the Dragon Clan, and the remaining ninety percent were spoils of war plundered from other tribes.

What Noland Lee was looking for were research materials about the Dragon Clan, or the annals, geographical materials, local records, or member lists of the Dragon Clan that were written by the dragons themselves.

Only these things could help him reduce the Energy Points cost for deconstructing islands.

If he could find information directly related to the “Dragon Tooth Reservoir,” that would be even better.

With such information, when Noland Lee tries to deconstruct an unfamiliar island related to the Dragon Tooth Reservoir, he would directly receive the news of reduced Deconstruction Consumption and determine that this island is closely related to the Dragon Tooth Reservoir.

With a clear goal, a clear line of thought, and the extremely convenient Deconstruction technique, Noland Lee easily found what he wanted.

It was a small shop tucked away in the most remote corner of the marketplace. The outside of the door had a flaking wooden sign with a row of crooked handwritten characters:

‘Hadley’s Shop— My store only sells genuine items’.

It seemed that shop owner Hadley Grant had just returned from the sea.

He carried a heavy Magic Canvas Bag on his back, his cloak soaked in water. As he walked, he left a chain of damp footprints.

As Noland Lee arrived, Hadley was fumbling his key ring for the door lock, his back turned to Noland.

Hadley was a big man, his back resembling a hunchbacked bear from behind.

After failing to insert the key into the lock hole twice, Hadley let out a dull sigh, reached into his Magic Canvas Bag with his broad palm, and pulled out a pair of glasses with a strap tied to his face.

It appeared that Hadley had a slight vision problem. After tying the glasses, he saw the lock hole’s direction clearly and successfully opened the shop’s front door.

A musty smell of not being ventilated or lit for a long time wafted out from the room, Noland could smell it from a few meters away.

Hadley bent down and squeezed inside the door. Just as he turned to close the door, he noticed Noland lingering not far from the door.

As a result, Noland also saw the owner’s appearance.

A furry big face, brown beard, and hair joined together, eyes covered by coin-sized lenses. The combination of a large face and tiny glasses made him look somewhat funny.

Hadley faced Noland, scratched his beard, and said with a hint of alcohol:

“Are you here to buy something? *hiccup~”

“Yes, I’m interested in the dragon teeth hanging on the outside of your backpack.” Noland raised his hand, pointing to the backpack behind Hadley.

Hadley reached his hand back. His backpack’s exterior had many things hanging on it, and the dragon teeth were not very conspicuous among them.

He distinguished by touch what Noland was pointing at and spoke with a breath of alcohol:
