"Knock, knock, knock..."
The knocks on the door were heavy, just like Dorothy's heartbeat.
She bit her lower lip, her face turned pale, and a trace of cold sweat oozed from her forehead.
"Squeak..."
The door opened without wind.
"What's the matter?"
A faint voice came from the depths of the hall.
Dorothy looked at the empty hall, which was dark and deserted, and forced herself to be calm and said, "Grandpa asked me to deliver something."
"Come in!"
Dorothy gritted her teeth and stepped into the hall.
The hall was empty and everything was visible.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Dorothy always felt like someone was staring at her.
She forced herself to put away distracting thoughts, walked to the end of the hall, looked around, and then walked around to the side of the screen wall.
Sure enough, she saw a basement entrance on the ground behind the screen wall. The entrance was dark, like a bloody mouth that was ready to eat people.
"A... Mr. Ajef, are you in the basement?" Dorothy asked nervously as she stood in front of the underground entrance.
"Yeah."
Hearing the response, Dorothy almost cried.
She stood there and hesitated for a long time before she gritted her teeth, raised a ball of inch-light magic, and walked down the spiral staircase.
As she walked down one circle after another,
she was stunned.
The horrible scenes she imagined, such as "darkness", "horrible experiments", "water prison", "raising monsters", etc., did not appear.
Instead, there was an unexpectedly bright world!
There were four walls that could reflect light, neatly arranged glass boxes, and inch-light magic lamps above her head.
It made it as bright as day.
Because Dorothy was standing on the spiral staircase, looking down from above, she could almost see Ajef standing in front of a glass box at a glance.
She hesitated for a moment, then mustered up the courage to walk over.
"Mr. Ajef, I came here today to apologize. I'm really sorry for that day. I lost my temper!" Dorothy read out the long-thought-out speech in one breath.
After that, she took out a seed, injected magic power into it, and activated it.
The seed fell to the ground, took root and sprouted in the blink of an eye, and sprouted branches and flowers, and a giant flower that looked like a pitcher plant bloomed.
The flower squirmed and spit out a giant egg half a person's height covered with complicated magic patterns.
Yu Shengan turned his head to take a look, and could not move his eyes away.
"This dragon egg is a gift to you as an apology. I hope you will forgive my rash behavior." Dorothy said again, and when she looked at the dragon egg, a trace of reluctance flashed across her eyes.
Yu Shengan reached out and touched the dragon egg, saying, "This is a dead egg, although it still has a faint trace of life."
Dorothy was shocked! This Ajef is really not simple. He saw through the secret of this dragon egg at a glance.
"Yes." Dorothy admitted without daring to explain.
If it wasn't a dead egg, her grandfather would probably rather sacrifice her than send it here.
You know, the dragon race is the most powerful magic beast on the Ezeya continent, no one else.
Any adult dragon is born with dragon language magic comparable to the god of law, and a strong physique comparable to the god of fighting!
In addition, they also have a long lifespan.
This is a top race that can compete with the gods!
Their only shortcoming is their low fertility.
On the continent of Ezea, if any country can get the protection of a giant dragon, it is almost equivalent to thousands of years of prosperity.
For example, the Edith Empire in the west of the continent of Ezea is rumored to be a country that has been protected by a giant dragon.
From this, we can see what a dragon egg means.
Unfortunately, the dragon egg in front of Yu Shengan is almost a dead egg, although it still has a glimmer of life.
But this glimmer of life is probably only symbolic.
Just like a patient who is hanging on to a breath with a ventilator.
However, even so, the value of this dragon egg cannot be denied.
In the hands of Dorothy's grandfather Dorman, it may have lost its value. I think Dorman must have tried every means to wake it up, but in the end he failed, so he was willing to give it to Yu Shengan.
But if this dragon egg falls into the hands of the God of Life, one of the five great gods, it will be easy to infuse vitality and revive it.
Besides, if it falls into the hands of Hades, one of the five great gods, it may be transformed into a giant dragon of the dead.
In short, in this magical world, nothing is absolute.
"Your grandfather is better at being a human being than you are. I will take the egg and go back to tell him that I am not a petty person... But if I become petty, I will not be a human being anymore." Dorothy, who
was about to pretend to be a good kid and nod, heard the last sentence, her eyes bulged and she almost bit her tongue.
"Yes." Dorothy lowered her eyebrows and nodded with a strange look on her face, and a huge stone in her heart finally fell.
She looked at Yu Shengan stroking the dragon egg, then turned her head to look at the glass boxes around her, and stood there hesitantly, with a strong curiosity in her eyes.
"Anything else?"
"No...no more."
"No, let's go back!"
"Oh."
Dorothy said "Oh" a little empty, and had to turn around and leave.
When Dorothy left, Yu Shengan's expression, which was originally quite calm, suddenly became very excited.
He circled around the dragon egg, muttering to himself.
"I'm rich! I'm rich!"
"I'm so awesome now!"
I actually got a dragon egg?
Oh my god, if I hatch it and sign a contract, I won't have to be afraid of the five great gods anymore?
... Ahem, I'm still afraid, after all, the dragon is not an adult yet, right?
Well, okay, even if it's an adult, it may not be able to beat any of them, but at least it has the power to protect itself, right?
The reputation of the dragon race being comparable to gods is not exaggerated!
Yu Shengan rubbed his hands, tapped the dragon egg with his fingers, and shouted, "Hey? Can you hear me?"
The dragon egg was silent.
"Damn, it's not really a dead egg, is it?" Yu Shengan was a little anxious: "It shouldn't be, this glimmer of life can be hidden from others, but not from my divinity."
"However, even if it encounters a god, it still doesn't struggle to survive. It looks like, even if it's not dead, it's probably almost dead. We must hurry up to rescue it, otherwise it may die at any time, right?"
Yu Sheng'an pinched his chin and thought.
The biggest problem with this dragon egg is that it has no vitality.
I don't know if it was born underdeveloped and was abandoned by the mother dragon?
Or did it encounter some other misfortune, such as falling into magma or a cold pool, which exhausted its vitality.
But no matter what it is, if you want to remedy it, you must replenish its vitality.
I'm afraid Dorman has tried all the magic that can replenish vitality.
So if you want to save this dragon egg, you have to use extraordinary means.
Yu Sheng'an pondered for a moment, spread out his right hand, and pressed it on the dragon egg. In an instant, countless words gushed out from his palm and poured into the dragon egg.
"If you want to survive, it depends on you! Otherwise, I can't do anything."
After a while, Yu Sheng'an put down his right hand and murmured in a low voice.
He is the God of Contract, not the God of Life. He can only mobilize the power of contract, so he sent a contract of life sharing to the dragon egg.
If the dragon egg is still alive, as long as it still has the desire to live, as long as it signs the contract, then even if it wants to die, it will be difficult as hell!
