When Silver Coin came floating back dragging a huge pile of scales and Dragon Scum and toe-nails, everyone was stunned: "That's it? It's done? Just like that?"
Silver Coin was also somewhat surprised: "Yeah, just like that. It said that there had been merchants who wanted to buy scales and skin from it before, but they all tried to forcibly rip or peel it off, which angered it so much it killed those fellows with its breath. They really liked this gift, so it gave me the leftovers after polishing."
After finishing his explanation, Silver Coin scratched his head: "I didn't even get to make a move, these dragons are quite nice."
"Yeah, they are strangely nice," Negris said, somewhat speechless.
But upon further thought, if it were still alive, and a merchant had come up with such a set of tools that could help clean its filthy body, with the only condition being to give the waste to them, it would probably have agreed too.
