After leaving the Nightthorn Casino, Ash and Sigourney once again easily shook off the gazes behind them and checked into the hotel they had booked near the casino.
Before they could wait quietly for the glorious day to come, their top priority was to make the little gray eggs in the bag hatch successfully.
Back in the room of the inn, Sigourney used alchemical tools to set up a shielding barrier, while Ash carefully took the little gray egg out of the bag.
The little gray egg was very small. It was the smallest egg in Meng's store, so Sigourney bought it casually. Now Ash held it firmly in his palm, quiet and well-behaved, just like many days in the past, without any movement, as if the day of hatching was far away.
But he was so lively in the casino just now?
Jumping, leaping, and rolling, isn't it time for the baby to be born?
Why do I feel like I'm back to my old, lifeless state?
Ash bent his index finger and touched the eggshell, lowering his voice: "Hello?"
The little gray egg didn't move.
Could it be that he was frightened by Sigourney just now?
Ash stroked it again to comfort it: "Baby, it's okay. Are you about to be born?"
The little gray egg remained motionless.
Ash blinked. Was he really frightened?
He tilted his head to look at Sigourney. What should he do now?
Sigourney snorted and raised one hand, and two huge piles of gems appeared in front of him. The smell of gold coins hit his face, and the dazzling light reflected by the gems made Ash squint his eyes.
The next second, his hands were empty. The small gray egg, which had been motionless like a piece of stone just now, suddenly became full of life, like a lifeless man who had long encountered sweet dew, and rushed into the mountain of gems at lightning speed.
Rolling around.
It rolled from top to bottom, from bottom to top, and then rolled around the gem mountain, as if it was marking its territory.
Cheerful, happy and contented.
The gray eggshell seemed to be overflowing with excited pink.
Ash: “…”
What's your habit? Do you like gold coins and gems so much?
Was the delay in hatching in the past due to the fact that they did not use the right method?
We shouldn't be researching hatching potions or magic circles. If we had put the little grey egg into the pile of gold coins in advance, wouldn't it have hatched long ago?
Thinking of this, it suddenly dawned on me why Uncle Meng had picked up the little gray egg for so long but still hadn't been able to hatch it.
——Uncle Meng is poor.
Could Uncle Meng have a gold coin on him?
Without a single gold coin, how could the little gray egg be willing to break out of its shell?
Ash recalled what Sigourney had told him about the characteristics of the magical creatures on Red Iluv's side, and took a breath silently: "Could it be..."
"This character——" Sigourney knew what Ash wanted to say and sneered, "Heh, it's definitely the dragon clan."
As he finished speaking, the little gray egg hit a diamond-shaped gem while rolling. With an imperceptible "crack" sound, a crack appeared on the originally hard eggshell.
Once there is a gap, it will become a gap very quickly if there are two or three.
Click, click, click——
In a few breaths, a wet little head with half an eggshell on its head popped out from the gap. A pair of cyan-gold vertical pupils looked at Ash with watery eyes: "Yo! Yo yo~"
The voice is so soft and tender, so childish, and particularly endearing.
But as it broke out of its shell, an extremely powerful pressure emerged. It was a pressure that came from its bloodline level and had nothing to do with strength.
The little guy is now so fragile that he can be killed by a harsh natural environment, but the pressure rooted in his soul and blood can make many low-level magical creatures surrender and kneel down.
It’s indeed the dragon clan.
This is the dragon clan.
He was born with such a superior talent.
It is indeed a race that stands at the top of the magical creatures in terms of individual combat power.
The little dragon's pressure was extremely powerful, but it had no effect on the two people standing in front of it.
It’s not because Sigourney and Ash are not afraid of this pressure - of course, they are not afraid of it in reality - it’s just that they don’t need to resist this pressure at this moment. The pressure seems to recognize people. While it spreads out from the surroundings, it also obediently bypasses Sigourney and Ash.
Those who receive such treatment from the dragon clan are their closest people.
Sigourney raised her eyebrows slightly. She had heard that the dragon race had spiritual inheritance in the eggshell. Even though the little dragon was just born, he must have had consciousness and the ability to perceive the outside world when he was in the eggshell.
This little dragon used to follow Meng, and now it has been staying in the bag that Ash carries with him. No one knows when it became conscious, but it has seen everything it shouldn't have seen and heard everything it shouldn't have heard. Now, its familiarity with both worlds may be no less than that of him and Ash.
In the past, in that world, I was determined not to break out of my shell, probably not only because there were no temptations of gold coins.
Perhaps this clever little dragon knew that once it hatched, in the dangerous world where magical creatures live, it would be killed by wizards, skinned and bled for experiments if it wasn't careful - it was a dragon, the only dragon in that world. The Wizard Association would never let it go.
Therefore, she would rather stay in the eggshell and follow Ash to travel freely than face the life after breaking out of the shell, which seems free but is actually a cautious and fearful life.
It's a very smart dragon.
Now the dragon regards them as its closest relatives, and has been sending friendly signals since birth...
Sigourney raised her hand and poked the eggshell that the little dragon was holding, causing the eggshell to sway slightly. The little dragon's head also fluttered a bit. The little dragon was so panicked that it quickly stretched out its two little paws to rest on the crack of the eggshell and looked at him pitifully: "Yo!"
Although he is a smart dragon with inherited wisdom, he is still ignorant and blank emotionally, a real cub.
Realizing that her behavior of bullying the cub was not very nice, Sigourney coughed lightly and turned her head away: "This guy must have known about Dailan's prophecy to do this."
"Yo!" The little dragon struggled to crawl out of the eggshell. It had a thin and long body. Except for its horns and claws, it looked no different from a small snake. It only had a body covered with fine golden scales, which were more beautiful than the gems and gold coins under it.
It raised its paws and patted the gold coins it was stepping on, and puffed out its little chest. Of course, it’s not just because saving the world depends on you two, but also because you are so rich!
So we are a happy family!
Somehow, both Sigourney and Ash understood what it meant.
“…”
As expected, they are dragons who love shiny treasures.
As if knowing that Sigourney and Ash would not hurt it, the little dragon lay back on the edge of the eggshell and gnawed at it with its tender teeth. Crunch, crunch, it filled its little belly little by little. When it was full, it lay comfortably on the cool gems and gold coins to rest. It felt that this was the happiest way to be born!
Ash and Sigourney also took this time to sort out their thoughts.
They really didn't expect that the egg they bought from Meng as a joke was actually a dragon egg.
The dragon eggs that had been silent for thousands of years were surprisingly preserved intact and successfully hatched.
Xiaolong has been with them for so long that he knows all about the prophecies.
But looking at the little dragon's attitude, it's a smart dragon, not an arrogant dragon, so it's not a big problem if it knows about it?
But just in case...
Sigourney poked the bulging belly of the lying dragon again and ordered, "Get up and sign a contract."
The little dragon's tail jumped when it was poked: "Ouch!" He felt so wronged!
Just sign it!
Ash looked at Sigourney silently. Sigourney seemed to like this little dragon very much.
Having seen the power of authority in the eggshell, the little dragon felt wronged, but still slowly climbed up, lay on a rhinestone, raised his little head, and roared childishly: "Yo~ Yo~ Yo..."
Somehow, all the vampires and humans present understood what it said.
It is a dragon language magic that allows dragons to sign an equal partnership contract with other races.
But at the end, Xiaolong got stuck.
Finally, it had to report both parties' names. It knew Ash and Sigourney's, but not its own.
It, it doesn’t have a name yet!
"Call him Little Gray?" Sigourney suggested slowly.
Xiaolong looked down at himself in shock. Was he actually gray?
It just forgot to look at itself!
Don't want it? The eggshell is gray, it's already miserable. If the scales are gray, it will never find a partner. QvQ
oh!
Not gray!
It's golden!
It glared at Sigourney, so why was it called Little Gray?
Ash suppressed his laughter and explained, "Because we already have Xiao Jin."
Xiaolong, who knew about Xiaojin’s existence: “…”Yeah, that’s right.
"Call me Gray," Ash said with a smile.
Xiaolong was busy making a contract, so as long as he rejected Xiaohui, any name would be good. His eyes immediately lit up, "Well, this name is not bad."
So it approved the name and formally added it to the contract.
With the cooperation of Sigourney and Ash, the contract was established under the law.
As the few vampires and humans recognized by the dragon clan, Sigourney and Ash looked at each other and wondered if they could go to the dragon clan's island now?
Gray tapped the gem with his little paw, making a subtle sound that attracted the two's attention, "Yo!"
Can you take me to find my parents?
The watery blue-gold eyes looked at them sincerely.
