Spending My Retirement In A Game 407 More Dragons

But it should still be at the level of being sold at a shop, especially because of the effect that everything made with the berries had of replenishing some of your health, considering how the pulp came to be. The thing that Eisen most wanted to know right now was something else, however.

He really wanted to know if the others liked the three different potion-flavors that Eisen tested out, and he gave all of them some glasses with each a little bit of the different potions inside, just enough so that they would be able to actually taste everything properly.

The effect of the potion didn't really suffer at all, it was just that the volume increased a little bit. But considering that the volume decreased by 'extracting' what the potion really was beforehand, it was still less than what a regular potion had, and was a slight bit more potent, as far as Eisen could tell.

Either way, for now, Eisen just wanted to see if only he liked these potions, or if the others did as well. And to his pleasant surprise, all of them were quite happy with each of them!

And they liked the different small snacks and pastries that Eisen made over the past one or two hours using the pulp as well, so Eisen was really glad about that.

"So, but now, which ones do you like the most? I don't think we should start with three different flavors to be sold, at least not right off the bat, so I want to narrow it down to one of them." Eisen pointed out, although he was pretty sure he could already exclude at least one flavor of potion. The elderberry.

Taste-wise it maybe wasn't really that bad, but it wasn't anything special or majorly enjoyable, especially not when compared to the other two. And since it didn't actually seem to add another effect to the potion like Eisen hoped it would, there wasn't any reason to keep going with that.

In the end, just like he expected, nobody chose the elderberry one as their favorite, and the strawberry one was chosen as the favorite of the most people, so Eisen nodded his head in satisfaction.

"Alright, good to know. Thanks." The old man said with a smile on his face as he slowly headed out of the room, and was swiftly followed by some of the others because it seemed like it was about time for them to set off toward the Central Island again.

While they were standing on the main-deck, and Eisen was once more just checking if the bottle of Nidhogg-Wine was stable like it was right now, Kairyuu came over toward him with a bright smile, like she had done for the others already as well. This would be the last time they would see each other at the very least in a little while. "Heeyyooo, old man!" Kai exclaimed, and Eisen turned toward her with his eyebrows raised, laughing as he shook his head.

"I'll just pretend that it's a type of Dragon-Greeting that I haven't heard of before." The old man said with a smile, and Kai just smiled at him, showing her bright white teeth.

"Hehe, alright~! Erm, anyway... I wanted to give you something. I don't exactly know why, but that stuck-up-... sorry, Trygan told each of us to give each of you one of our scales when we meet you." Kai said with a smile, although she scratched her cheek with a wry smile, "Although only you... We weren't allowed to give it to Master for some reason..." The SeDragon admitted and quickly pulled something from behind her back, a scale that she already prepared for this apparently, and she swiftly handed it to Eisen.

"Oh, thank you..." Eisen muttered quietly, looking at the dinner-plate sized scale with a wry smile. "So there really was some other reason behind getting Trygan's scale.." The old man whispered, before Jyuuk walked up to them, having overheard something that Eisen himself also wanted to ask about.

"Erm, Kai, what do you mean with 'We'? Aren't you alone here?" The Beastperson asked with a slight frown, before the SeDragon quickly nodded her head. "Mhm, I'm alone! But I don't mean me either, I mean the others~! Soryuu, Yamaryuu, Sabakuryuu, Shinryuu and Fushiryuu!" Kai explained quite swiftly, before both Eisen and Jyuuk raised their eyebrows.

"Jyuuk..." The old man started to say, and the monkey himself seemed to start getting pretty excited at what those names seemed to symbolize, although he was put back down pretty soon, "Your naming sense sucks." Esien sighed deeply, before Jyuuk looked at him annoyedly.

"Hey, are Caria, Melissa, and Sal really that much better?! You just used what they were in their name as well!" Jyuuk tried defending himself, but hearing the noise, the other Originals came over and tuned in.

"At least he didn't just translate their race-name into some other language one to one. Anyway, what're we talking about right now?" Brody asked, and while Jyuuk glared at him, Eisen started to try and figure that out himself.

"Hmm... Yamaryuu would be a Mountain Dragon, Sabakuryuu a Desert Dragon... then I'd guess the 'So' from Soryuu belong to 'Sora', so that would be a Sky Dragon... But why are there two that belong to death?" Eisen asked with a slight frown, moving his fingers through his beard, and Jyuuk shrugged.

"I don't know, maybe there's one undead Dragon and one murderous Dragon!" He suggested excitedly, but Eisen quickly shook his head. "What if the 'Shin' from 'Shinryuu' isn't actually 'Death', but belongs to 'Shinrin' for 'Forest'? That would make sense to be fair, and then Fushiryuu would be the undead dragon while Shinryuu is a forest Dragon. Is that right?" Eisen asked Kai, who nodded her head with a wry smile.

"You know you could have just asked me, right? But yes, you're completely right... Although Yomiryuu isn't an Undead Dragon, he's an Undeath Dragon. He wasn't resurrected, but just always possessed Necromantic Mana instead of regular mana." Kai replied, and Jyuuk nodded his head slowly.

"Huh, then that's probably similar to the Necromantic Phoenix I'm trying to hatch..." The Beastperson muttered, and then looked back at the Sea Dragon in front of him. "But well, I'm just going to guess that they're all Dragons I tamed in the past?" Jyuuk asked Kai, who swiftly nodded her head.

"Mhm, exactly! We're all Unique Dragons, and even if we didn't reach transcendence, we're all pretty amazing, hehe!" Kai explained with a smug smile, before Eisen looked at her with a curious expression.

"And where exactly can we find them, then?" He asked her, and Kai slightly shrugged in response.

"I dunno exactly, just roughly. Soryuu's usally on that one Living Town you made that's flying around all over the place... I think Yamaryuu enjoyed the Mountains in the Giant Country, and Sabakuryuu is in the wastelands a lot. As for Shinryuu, I know he's in the forests of the western continent, although that whole place is basically one large forest, and Fushiryuu might be in the Underdark? She usually liked it there, at least... I can't find them exactly with my clairvoyance, so I can only guess." And so, Kairyuu started to explain the rough position of each of the five other Dragons, which was more than just enough help.

"Hmm, those places do seem pretty interesting... I'd like to go there at some point for sure... I guess that just gives me specific locations to go, huh?" The old man said with a laugh, and Kai just slightly shrugged.

"Well, sure. As I said, I don't know why we're supposed to give you one of our scales each, but that's what Trygan told us." She explained, so Eisen just slowly nodded and packed the scale away.

"Well then, again, thank you." Eisen replied, and then just started to think about what exactly he should be doing next, and where he should be going after this.

But for the next little while, everyone just kept talking to Kai a little more, but soon enough, she jumped back into the water and swam off in her dragon form, while the Giant Turtle the ship was attached to started moving in the direction that they needed to go.

"Alright, I'll head back to the Dungeon for now. Let me know when we're back at the central Island, I kind of want to keep working as long as I can right now." Eisen said with a smile and slightly cracked his knuckles, excited for work, before the others nodded their heads and let the old man step into the dungeon.

Evalia also headed inside there, though, because she still didn't completely finish painting the room. It wouldn't be a huge issue if it had been just about a specific color that everything needed to be painted in, she could have finished that in an hour or two using her element, but considering that everything needed to be 'animated' and Evalia wanted it to switch between night and day in here as well, it took a fair bit longer, although it didn't really seem like she had that much more to work on for now.

At the moment, while it did all seem incredibly realistic already, since the 'painting' wasn't actually finished yet, the effects weren't nearly as strong as they would be afterward. And because this was a dungeon, things like that might be enhanced a bit more when actually finished as well.

Either way, Evalia was doing a really great job like this, and it made Eisen pretty motivated to get to work as well.

For now, though, Eisen really just had to make the last pot to finish the potions up with flavoring before he made the bottling-system. In the end, that just required one more large container, and the potion would be liquified properly in the pipe moving it to that container, so all that needed to be done was to smash down the berries inside the bowl and then mix the potion inside while heating everything up properly.

That could all be handled in one extra piece, so it was finished pretty quickly. And then, after the pulp would be sifted out of the flavored potion, everything would be poured into the container for the bottling, which wasn't complex either. It just needed to open a small hole for a little while and let the liquid through.

But for that to work, Eisen actually needed some bottles first, and that was a whole other ordeal in and of itself.

In the end, glass-bottle mass-production wasn't complex, all that needed to be done was to make the actual glass, press it into the basic shape with a mold, then put that shaped glass into another, larger mold and then blow air into the top of that glass to fill the mold out properly and actually make the bottle hollow.

And just because he could and it wasn't hard or all that manintensive as you would think to do it that way, Eisen was unsure whether or not he should really go with the basic metal-molds, or if he should make transmutation-based 'Invisible Molds', to let people actually see how the bottles were shaped.

There was a reason why television shows where the production-process of different things was shown were pretty popular, a lot of people were simply curious about it, or thought that such things were satisfying to look at. So Eisen figured that if the actual last step of the production, as in the shaping of the bottles and then immediately afterward the bottling of the potions, would be shown to customers like a 'Store Gimmick', that would be pretty neat.
