Chapter 148: Chapter 34: The Egg of the Giant Dragon_4
The Elf Queen smiled and nodded, saying, "You aren’t stupid at all! I indeed want to give this egg to you."
Ah Dai scratched his head and said, "Auntie, what kind of egg is this! Is it tasty? You should keep it for yourself, ah! No, you elves only eat fruits."
The Elf Queen chuckled with amusement, "Silly boy, this isn’t for you to eat, this is a dragon egg, possibly the last living dragon egg in the continent."
Ah Dai was greatly surprised, he said, "What? Are there really such creatures as dragons?" In his heart, dragons only existed in legends.
The Elf Queen solemnly nodded, saying, "Dragons are creatures full of wisdom and with the greatest strength. Perhaps they were too perfect, so God limited their reproductive ability. Many giant dragons cannot produce offspring in their lifetime. Since the Dragon Clan led by Pope God Feather extinguished the Demon God a thousand years ago, the Dragon Clan disappeared, leaving no trace on the continent. This giant egg was discovered when Audil explored the Death Mountain Range and was saved from a cave. It has been with our Elf Clan for around a hundred years. When it was first brought back, this dragon egg only had a hint of life energy remaining. After being soaked in the spiritual Elf Lake Water and the strong life energy from the elf ancient tree, it gradually recovered. But, we elves do not have the power to hatch it. To hatch a dragon egg, besides their parents, only humans may be capable. Child, are you willing to try? If you successfully hatch it, perhaps you will become the first Dragon Knight in history."
Ah Dai shook his head and said, "Auntie, I can’t do it. If even you can’t, how could I? Besides, I don’t want to drive a dragon, it would be so pitiful."
The Elf Queen smiled and said, "Child, you must have faith in yourself. As a matter of fact, you aren’t as bad as you think. Besides, hatching a dragon egg isn’t a one or two-day task. You must transform it subtly with your inner energy. How about this, you first form a contract with this dragon egg, and if you can hatch it in the future, you can just let it go."
Ah Dai nodded and said, "I can do that. I will give it a try."
The Elf Queen brought Ah Dai in front of the dragon egg, "Ah Dai, put your hand on the dragon egg and chant the spell with me."
Ah Dai agreed. The moment his hand touched the dragon egg, a bright blue light burst from his chest, enveloping him and the egg. The strong blue glow startled the Elf Queen. Ah Dai himself was also stunned; he felt as if the dragon egg in front of him seemed to be moving, greeting him warmly.
After a while, the Elf Queen finally reacted, shocked she exclaimed, "Ah Dai, are you carrying any relics from the Dragon Clan on you?"
Ah Dai took out the Dragon’s Blood from his collar, "Auntie, are you talking about this?"
The Elf Queen’s voice was trembling, "Is this the Dragon’s Blood, the protective artefact of the Pope God Feather? Where did you get this?"
Ah Dai replied, "Prophet Pu Lin gave this to me. He said it was the treasure passed down by the Pope God Feather to the Pu Yan Clan."
The Elf Queen gradually recovered from her surprise, she sighed, "Child, there are many things about you that astonish me! With the Dragon’s Blood, I can almost confirm that you will be able to hatch this dragon egg. All giant dragons are descendants of the Divine Dragon. Start now, bite your finger, drop a drop of fresh blood on the dragon egg, then follow my chant, ’By my fresh blood, proud giant dragon! Please allow me to form an equal contract with you, to share each other’s energy, to become eternal friends.’" Actually, humans can form a master and servant contract with dragons, but the peace-loving Elf Clan has always disdained such contracts. In their view, all creatures are equal, and therefore, no one should be enslaved by others. This equal contract perfectly matches Ah Dai’s personality.
Following the Elf Queen’s instructions, Ah Dai dropped his blood on the dragon egg. When his spell was complete, the dragon egg and the Dragon’s Blood around his neck simultaneously glowed brightly. Suddenly, they seemed to form a communicating tunnel, the dragon egg disappeared in an instant, and Ah Dai clearly felt that something new was in the Dragon’s Blood, it seemed as though a life was connected with him.
The Elf Queen exclaimed with admiration, "Child, it seems that the Dragon’s Blood on your body has already absorbed the dragon egg. Inside the Dragon’s Blood, the dragon egg will receive the best nourishment. I believe that perhaps it won’t take too long before it can be hatched. To be honest, I have never seen what a dragon looks like, when you hatch it in the future, you must show it to me."
Ah Dai replied a bit embarrassed, "Auntie, don’t say such things, if the dragon egg were to be hatched in the future, I would definitely return it to nature."
The Elf Queen said seriously, "Ah Dai, I know you mean well, but have you thought about this? Being the strongest creature on the continent - a dragon, it possesses great power! If you release it into the wild, it may be influenced by the secular world and potentially cause a catastrophe. Do you understand? Also, even if you keep it with you, you don’t necessarily have to enslave it! You can become friends with it, take care of it, guide it with your kind heart, so it doesn’t go astray."
