Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 604: 194. A few genuine items_3

“Oh, you’re talking about this? It’s my lucky charm, and I wouldn’t sell it for any price. But I do have some other things here that you might be interested in. However, I just got back from the sea and haven’t had time to organize this trip’s loot yet, so I won’t be able to introduce you to the things in the store for now. Just come in and have a look for yourself. But remember, if you’re not buying, don’t touch.”

Hadley Grant waved to Noland Lee, inviting him into the shop before busying himself with organizing the contents of his backpack.

The shop was small and about five meters tall from ground level to the ceiling. The surrounding walls were cluttered with disorderly shelves, and a dim chandelier hanging from the ceiling was the only source of light.

Upon entering the shop and looking around, Noland knew he came to the right place.

Just as Hadley had written on his sign, the goods in his shop were genuine, either genuinely collected by the Dragon Clan or actually from the Dragon Clan themselves.

Most of the merchandise was small objects made of metal or stone material, with no clear use. A small portion was more exotic items like dragon teeth, dragon scales, and dragon dander.

Noland used Deconstruction to verify the authenticity of these items, but their quality was frankly quite poor, all being rather shoddy.

They were not only severely damaged but also had obvious signs of weathering and erosion from sea water, which greatly reduced their overall appearance.

Noland noticed that items from the Dragon Clan themselves had a greater consumption of Deconstruction, regardless of their size.

The most typical example was a dragon tooth the size of a thumb, which was yellow and covered in dents and notches, with the surface feeling like it had been coated with wax when the light shone on it.

Noland found that a complete deconstruction of this small object required over 10,000 points of Energy.

Noland leaned in for a closer look at the dragon tooth, but couldn’t deduce anything from it.

He looked back at Hadley, who was busying himself with the contents of his backpack, and asked with a tone of disbelief:

“Is that dragon tooth on the shelf really a dragon tooth? It looks just like a sharpened finger bone…”

He slammed the miscellaneous items in his hand onto the table, straightened up, and
