The sunset in the Green Forest had always been beautiful. It was gentler than any sunlight in the Northern Lands. Looking down from the watchtower of the dragon's lair, the cheese-colored sunset spread across the sky, enveloping the entire forest in it.
With the destruction of the last descendants of Quel 'dorei, everything in Vilost was settled. There was no longer any local power that could resist Black Wing's rule. The next day after Caesar returned from the starship, Golden City announced their surrender to Black Wing.
After accepting the worship of Golden City, Caesar met with Garen in the spacious meeting hall of the starship. There was nothing much to say. After a short chat, he handed over the matters of Vilost to him and rushed back to Airadia.
The Green Forest had always been Caesar's logistics base. The dragon's nest project, which was the most important thing to supplement the Empire's military force, was carried out here. However, two years ago, due to the pressure of the Dragon God and the lack of "resources", Emperor Black Dragon stopped the project. All personnel were withdrawn from the Green Forest and assigned to other positions.
Now, the former secret base had become Caesar's backyard, allowing this lazy guy to escape from the complicated affairs of the Empire. The Black Dragon kept his fangs and claws, lying on the top of the watchtower, staring blankly at the forest in the distance.
After some time, Caesar realized that this could not go on, so he slowly climbed down the watchtower, making as little noise as possible, and crawled into the dragon's nest with his neck arched.
"Still no movement?" he asked.
"Ugh …" Luna shook her head, then stared at the egg in front of her, her little face bitter.
The dragon egg already had signs of life and emotional fluctuations. A week ago, it began to signal to Luna that she was about to be born. Therefore, Caesar decided to bring the dragon egg to the dragon's nest, wanting to witness the birth of his daughter with his own eyes.
However, a week had passed, and the newborn still did not break out of the shell. The energy gathered on the surface of the eggshell gradually weakened, and the colorful patterns disappeared, settling into a deep black.
Caesar became anxious. Although he was a dragon with a different body, he was familiar with the basic knowledge of dragons. He knew very well that the pure-blooded dragons' ability to reproduce was not strong. This was because, whether it was the Pentashade dragons or the Metallic Dragons, almost half of the newborns would die early because they could not survive the dragon's inheritance. He came because of this, so he remembered it clearly. The dragon egg in front of him was very similar to that situation.
The signal from the dragon egg became more and more impatient. It seemed to be asking for help, but it also seemed to be calling for help. However, this new life could only transmit simple emotional fluctuations to the outside world. It could not communicate with the outside world like a hatchling, so Caesar could not understand what it really wanted to convey.
"Caesar …"
Luna looked at the Black Dragon anxiously. Although the little guy was usually unreliable, as a mother, she still did her homework in this area very carefully. She knew what this situation of the dragon egg might mean. She almost could not help but cry.
"Caesar …" She came up with a stupid idea, "How about, we chisel the eggshell?
The baby dragon can't come out. "
The emotion from the dragon egg turned into panic.
"No."
Caesar shook his head and said to Luna, "Little Odín may have encountered some small problems, but if we forcefully destroy the egg, she will die immediately."
"Then what should we do?" Luna's two eyebrows wrinkled together.
"Regardless of whether my dragon's inheritance exists or not, if it exists and she can't bear it, what she should do is to find a way to survive, and not ask for help from us, because we can't help her."
Caesar pondered, "Since little Odín is asking for help from us, then at least in her eyes, we can help her."
Black Dragon thought for a moment, opened his mouth and tried to spit out a gentle stream of flames, keeping the temperature of the egg's surface above 70 degrees.
The dragon egg sent out a happy emotion, but it turned into anxiety in an instant.
Not this method?
Black Dragon received his daughter's feedback, raised his butt, put his neck flat on the ground, and began to explore step by step according to this pattern.
Flame, frost, thunder, poisonous breath, and acid, Caesar tried all the attributes of the Pentashade Dragon energy, instilling it into the deep surface of the egg. The little guy in the dragon egg did not give any good feedback. Then he tried his own unique fusion energy, but it still did not have any effect.
In the end, Black Dragon had no choice but to release radiation on the dragon egg like how he had corrupted the other dragons.
An unexpected result appeared. Before the dragon egg could give any feedback, Caesar realized that the radiation he had just released had been absorbed by the little life without sparing any effort. It felt like a drop of water in a puddle. Soon, the dragon egg sent out a desire.
"It's fine."
Caesar calmed down and comforted Luna, "Perhaps because the incubation period was too long, the nutrition that the dragon egg carried when it was born has been exhausted, and it is not enough to support her breaking out of the shell. We just need to supplement it with some nutrition."
"Radiation?"
Luna muttered this new term Caesar told her, opening her eyes wide and staring curiously at the dragon egg, "Our daughter eats radiation?"
"It's not impossible."
Caesar smiled, using his psionic energy to surround Luna with a protective layer to prevent the excessive radiation from leaving any hidden dangers to her. He then removed the layers of shackles, releasing the powerful radiation he had been actively suppressing all this time.
Caesar's radiation was not as simple as the radiation that was commonly understood on Earth in his previous life. It was a product of the Black Dream's distortion. This thing did not have any lethality, and was more like a permanent buff in the game. It could cause the infected creatures to distort and mutate, and in the process, put their lives in danger.
In the Dragon Nest project, forty percent of the recipients died from the radiation and were now buried under this large garden.
A huge amount of radiation erupted in an instant, and the dragon egg blossomed with a dark red light, tirelessly absorbing the terrifying rays from Caesar's body. As it absorbed more and more, its light became brighter and brighter, like a small sun shining brightly in the room.
"Knock, knock …"
Caesar heard a strange sound coming from the dragon egg. The little guy in the eggshell was working hard, trying to break the shell for the first time. Soon, under Luna's overjoyed gaze, a crack appeared on the eggshell. Not long after, with a splash, a baby dragon flowed out of the egg along with a sticky liquid.
Perhaps it should be called a dragon … right?
Its appearance was different from any known True Dragon in Eladia. In fact, it was different from all the other True Dragons that had appeared before. This little creature's body was only about twenty centimeters long, smaller than any newly born True Dragon. However, its tail was very long, and the end of its tail was curled into a circle. Instead of horns on its head, there were two colorful tentacles that looked like ribbons.
Its head was somewhat similar to the newborn Black Dragon. Its head was large, but the curve of its snout was rather delicate, and the horns on its nose were small and short. It did not have the ferocity of a carnivorous creature at all. Its wings were pale green, with the edges wrapped in black. Because of the sticky liquid, they did not protrude, but hung on the sides of its body.
"Odín Tangerine, this is my true name!" The newborn dragon's clear voice shouted twice, once in draconic and once in fairy language.
After shouting, the little dragon took a deep breath of the fresh air from the material plane. It did not have the time to care about its parents, and turned to quickly eat its own eggshell.
When its stomach felt full, the drake finally had the time to think about other things. It looked at its own body and seemed dissatisfied. Curling its lips, it suddenly changed into another form — a forest fairy girl about five or six years old.
