It seems that many unexpected things will happen today.
Hearing Betty’s elated voice, Gawain first reacted to a stun, and then subconsciously looked at Merita next to him, and saw that this Miss Blue Dragon was also looking at herself in astonishment, and the two of them stared at him. It took several seconds to react at the same time, and Melita was the first to speak happily: "Hatched?! Has it been hatched?"
Gawain immediately asked: "Is it a boy or a girl... Is it a boy or a girl?"
Betty shook her head whirring: "Not yet, it's almost hatched, and the eggshell has cracked--Ms. Enya said that she will come out soon, so let me quickly inform you..."
"Then go now, go now," Gawain immediately stepped forward as soon as he heard this, and at the same time greeted Merita to keep up with him, "Hurry up, keep up-it's the egg you brought, the little guy broke the shell. Can’t see you afterwards..."
Melita was already walking forward without waiting for Gawain’s reminder. At the same time, she quickly sketched a few runes in the air. While following Gawain’s footsteps, Melita said quickly: "I’ll send Noretta a Summoning, she doesn't know the news yet..."
A group of three people (including a humanoid dragon) ran across this not-so-long corridor quickly, and came to the door of the incubator room after a while, before pushing the door in, Gao Wen He heard a faint sound coming from inside—he seemed to hear a cheerful sound like a cub screaming, and the movement of wings flapping or wet feet running on the floor, and Enya was helpless in the middle. He and Melita at the door suddenly opened their eyes wide.
"Has broken the shell?!" Gao Wen and Merita looked at each other, and then involuntarily stepped forward to push the door open—the strong dragon cub would not worry about a little cool breeze when the door opened.
They stepped into the bright and warm incubation room, and the scene in the room caught Gawain’s eyes. At first glance, he saw Enya in the middle of the room, and then he saw a girl with teeth and claws. The miniature flying dragon covered with fine blue scales is staggering on Enya's golden eggshell. The little guy keeps trying to spread his wings to maintain balance while looking around curiously, looking with some kind of " The cuteness and agility that "cubs" have.
A smile appeared on Melita's face, she was about to take a step subconsciously, but before she took a step, a shrill cry came from under her feet-she and Gawain followed the reputation in surprise, so I saw another blue young dragon with a little wet body lying on the floor. The little guy raised his head and looked at the figure that appeared at the door, spread his wings and waved, making a string of excitement, curiosity and triumphant cry sound.
Gao Wen: "?"
Merita: "?"
Behind the two, Betty’s head finally squeezed in from the door frame. The maid looked up and saw the situation in the hatching room. After reacting for two seconds, she cried out in surprise: "Wow--"
"Ah, Gawain, and Melita--you are here," Enya finally noticed the movement at the door at this moment, and a gentle and smiling voice came from the golden eggshell, "Welcome--as you are As you can see, I am busy now..."
"How are two..." Merita only reacted at this time and muttered to herself in astonishment, "I remember I only sent an egg..."
The rune on the surface of the golden dome flickered slightly, and Enya said in a weird tone: "The egg you brought... is double yellow."
"Can a double-yolk egg hatch two young dragons?" When Gao Wen heard this, he suddenly felt something wrong, and he started to think quickly. He muttered as he pondered, "How do I remember that the double-yolk egg is due to nutritional supply? The problem is actually almost impossible to hatch, let alone hatched two, under normal circumstances not even one hatched..."
Merita blinked and looked at Gawain curiously: "Are you talking about a dragon?"
Gawain thought for a while: "...that might be an egg..."
Merita's eyes suddenly changed: "...are you serious?"
"...We can change the topic." Gawain touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, and simply measured how big the difference is between the chicken and the dragon in his mind, and then wisely gave up the topic, but Enya who was on the sidelines again. He opened his mouth: "Under normal circumstances, such dragon eggs are also difficult to hatch-even if it is not like... the double yolk eggs of other oviparous creatures, their survival rate is far lower than normal dragon eggs. So in the old Tarrond, this kind of dragon eggs would be removed before entering the incubator. Of course, now the incubation factory no longer exists, and Tarrond urgently needs to restore the Longkou tribe, plus those that are not easy to hatch.' Special dragon eggs' are not impossible to hatch, they are also a valuable source of young dragons, so these dragon eggs still need to hatch..."
With Enya's serious explanation, the two seemingly energetic wyrmlings were not idle for a moment. The little guy who was looking around on Enya's eggshell had already jumped down and got together with the one on the floor before to the stranger. At their feet, the tas first ran around Gawain and Melita for several laps, and then ran around Enya, chasing while making a sharp and thin cry-the dragon's strength was in its infancy Undoubtedly, the young dragon that has just hatched is already so amazing in terms of mobility.
Melita suddenly showed a worried expression after hearing Enya's explanation-as a "custom dragon clan" born from a biological company, her level of knowledge in this area is not much different from that of her contemporaries. : "Then... the two little guys that are now hatched should be healthy, right?"
While talking, she couldn't help but move closer to the whelpling closest to her. Although nominally she was the "mother" of the whelp, she was acting clumsy and nervously like a child at this time. .
She walked carefully two steps there. Just about to reach out, the young dragon spread her wings and screamed at her. Merita suddenly retracted her arm nervously.
But the young dragon’s scream was not a threat, it was more like saying hello. Seeing Merita retreating, the little guy jumped forward two more steps, and stretched his neck out-seeing this scene, Merita Only then boldly stretched out her hand, as if touching a piece of fragile porcelain, gently touched the top of the little guy's head, she touched a layer of warm, delicate scales, this unprecedented feeling made her slightly surprised Her eyes widened, and the next moment, she smiled gently.
And at this moment, she suddenly discovered something abnormal on this little guy-between the small scales between the young dragon’s neck and back, she saw a light blue light flowing like blood. It shone slightly, it was a magical illusion like substance, flowing against the skin between the scales, and in the big curious eyes of the young dragon, she also saw the faintly shimmering magical radiance, and the depth of the radiance was like Shattered highlights like stars.
Normal dragons, even those with high innate magical talents, will not have such obvious symptoms of being corroded and mutated by magical power after birth.
Enya's voice also came from the Golden Dome at this moment: "The two little guys are very healthy, as you can see, they are alive and kicking-but you should also find those abnormalities."
"What's the matter with these signs of magic erosion?" Melita gently stroked the neck of the young dragon with one hand, and looked up at Enya with a trace of tension, while another young dragon was jumping around curiously. After a few hesitations, she got under Merita's arm, "And in the eyes... Is that a physiological mutation?"
"It is indeed the erosion of magic power, and it was erosion during the Dragon Egg period," Enya said slowly, "but you don't need to be so nervous for the time being-I have checked the two little guys, these erosions will not affect As far as health is concerned, even in the long run, this kind of natural magical imprint has certain benefits."
Listening to the conversation between Enya and Melita, Gawain realized that something might have happened. He immediately stepped forward and squatted down beside the two whelps: "Merita, is there any problem— Uh, these two little guys are boys and girls?"
At this time, he realized that he had not yet understood this very crucial question: in the eyes of humans, the gender of the dragon body is really difficult to distinguish. In fact, let alone the gender, he can't even see the faces of the dragons without listening to the voice. The difference is that after Melita turned into a real form and flew into the dragon group, he never found it...
Merita suddenly glanced at Gawain unexpectedly when she heard this, her tone was very natural: "Two pretty little girls--can't you tell?"
Gao Wen is particularly calm: "How can I tell this-the dragons in my eyes all look the same, at most the colors are a little different..."
"This... well, it's understandable," Melita seemed to be trying to complain about something, but she sighed helplessly before she could say it, and then turned her attention to the two whelps, "Look. It doesn't seem to be a big problem. The two little guys may have been affected by the drastic changes in the external environment during the dragon egg period, and they were born with some signs of magic erosion..."
Before she could finish her words, Enya on the side added faintly: "Dragons are a race that is very sensitive to magical environments. Changes in the surrounding environment during the Dragon Egg period can easily leave marks on them. In ancient times, this This kind of sensitive reaction has led to the emergence of many dragon subspecies or'special individuals', such as crystal dragon, wind dragon, thunder dragon and mountain dragon, etc. This change can be mixed, and some have spawned extremely powerful dragons. Some can cause severe deformities and short life span.
"But later with the emergence of intelligent incubation technology and factory-style management, this situation gradually disappeared-the newly-born Dragon Clan Unity is a ‘standard healthy individual’ carefully protected and carefully selected under a strict environment."
"Now there are no Omega and incubation factories, so this kind of'subspecies change' that only occurred in ancient times is now happening again, is that what it means?" Gao Wen raised his eyebrows, feeling that he had added another useless egg Douzhi, "Then the managers of Tarrond should also pay attention to it in the future. The traditional incubation method does not seem to be as reliable as the factory. In addition, the environment of Tarrond is complex now. The egg might be affected..."
Enya casually let out an "um". I don't know if it was an illusion. Gawain felt that the other party's response was a little absent. The former dragon **** seemed to think of something worth worrying about, and was thinking and weighing something.
Soon, Gawain’s feeling was confirmed.
"I...maybe thinking too much, but the magic marks on these two whelps make me a little worried," a slightly hesitant voice came from the golden dome, "Of course, I am not worried about their health. , They look healthy-what I worry about is the reason behind this change..."
"The reason behind?" Gawain subconsciously asked, "Isn't it because the environment of Tarrond after the war was full of chaotic magic..."
"On the contrary, only pure, close-to-origin magical stimulation can cause this kind of mutation on the two whelps," Enya said before Gao Wen finished speaking, "The chaotic magical environment after the war cannot be created. This kind of "magic imprint" of affinity."
Gao Wen heard a strange meaning from Enya's tone, and his expression became serious: "Only the magical stimulation that is purely close to the source can cause this kind of mutation? You mean..."
"In my memory, similar things happened only in very, very old ages... It was nearly two million years ago, long before the sailors visited this planet, and there were many dragons on this planet. In the era of one of the ordinary races," Enya's voice was low and low, and a young dragon hung its hands, feet and wings on her eggshell, and she swept it down with invisible magic power. "At that time, the dragon was still After relying on primitive methods to preserve and hatch dragon eggs, for a while, many young dragons similar to these two little guys appeared in the northern region..."
Gawain frowned, and subconsciously glanced at Merita, then turned to look at Enya: "What happened then?"
"Nothing happened at the time-but shortly after that, we discovered that a huge surge occurred in the'dark blue network' that runs through the planet, and pure magic power flows and escapes between the various realms. After that, it has had a profound impact on the global climate. The magical power rise and extreme climate change around the world have lasted for a full decade."
For a while in the incubation, Gawain's expression became very serious, and after a few seconds of contemplation, he said softly: "Dark Blue Network..."
This is a new concept that has only recently entered the eyes of scholars from mortal countries. It is also a concept that Gawain has heard from Veronica/Ophelia not long ago. It refers to something that runs through the feet of Gawain. This planet, the huge magic power system that penetrates multiple realms, is like the "artery" of this planet in the magical sense, supporting the movement of magical energy throughout the planet.
In Gawain’s understanding, it is a bit like a “planetary dynamic system” similar to ocean currents, monsoons and geomagnetic fields. It is a “natural megastructure” unique to this magical world—maybe there are similarities on other planets. s things.
In the distant Gondor era, the "dark blue well" that supported the prosperity of human civilization was actually a "large spout" of this huge system exposed to the material world, from which humans directly drew the planetary energy, even if only part of it , Is enough for the entire civilization to reach its peak.
For this reason, after reminiscing what a huge and amazing thing "Deep Blue Network" is, Gawain instantly became nervous about what Enya mentioned.
