I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1407 - 1001: Wants a Male Dragon Egg
"You’ve been really into blacksmithing lately?" A familiar voice came, and Zheng Yichen, who was sweating in the courtyard, paused and looked toward the source of the voice.
Little Holy Maiden Lillian stood with her hands on her hips, slightly tilting her tiny head as she looked at Zheng Yichen.
"You’re back, huh. I was just thinking about you a couple of days ago." Zheng Yichen smiled and hammered a Faith Power Crystal with his Faith hammer.
Lillian first gave a happy smile, then looked curiously at the hammer in Zheng Yichen’s hand and the thing he was striking.
It seemed to be a spear infused with elements of combat faith.
"Don’t you already have weapons to use?"
"Well, this is a one-time weapon I made. I’ve gathered quite a lot of faith power recently. It would be a waste to just let it sit, so I might as well turn it into these weapons."
Zheng Yichen explained, quickly finishing the weapon and storing it in a built-in space. "Did only you come back this time?"
"No, besides Nelliwey, Alphis also came with me. They’re still at the Dusk Cathedral," Lillian shook her head.
Their return was delayed a bit, but not because of trouble; their god arranged a special trial for them.
Through this trial, their powers further increased. Among them, Alphis had the best talent, becoming the Holy Maiden closest to the God Realm in the trial of strength.
That’s why she came to the Misty City World this time. Although no fighting is needed here, there are quite a few matters, so having one more Luminous Holy Maiden is good.
After all, Zheng Yichen already has several dragons at his place, so the number of Holy Maidens shouldn’t fall behind. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"What happened here while we were away? Why has it become a lot quieter?" Lillian was somewhat puzzled about the situation at the Dusk Cathedral.
She remembered it being lively before she left, and now, though bustling, it was mostly ordinary people.
"This place was invaded by the Devouring Faction, and a phenomenon associated with the Misty City World was also invaded by them."
Lillian clicked her tongue and felt a twinge of regret for leaving, realizing she missed out on a lot: "Sounds terrible."
"In fact, the Devouring Faction that invaded here was quite unlucky. They decided to crash into a world in balance, which was a disaster for them." Zheng Yichen said sympathetically.
Lillian became even more curious, temporarily putting aside her concerns about Zheng Yichen’s new interest in blacksmithing and pressed him for details: "Come on, don’t keep me in suspense. What exactly happened?"
"What else could happen? The moment the Devouring Faction broke through, their world was balanced, and other worlds that invaded simultaneously were affected as well.
Now several worlds are intertwined and impossible to separate. After I took out all the Devourers, those two worlds were left empty.
One world’s coordinates were bought by another Dusk Mercenary Group, and the other was cleanly divided by several major forces, with the situation nearly stabilizing."
Zheng Yichen elaborated, and Lillian nodded: "Is there a video recording? I want to see it."
"One moment." Zheng Yichen asked Lilith to conjure a storage disk in the built-in space and handed it over to Lillian.
Little Holy Maiden quickly ran to the house with small steps, returning to her room, eager to watch Zheng Yichen’s ’performance’.
As for Nelliwey and Alphis... well, it was fine. It was Alphis’s first time here, but not Nelliwey’s. They wouldn’t get lost together.
Zheng Yichen withdrew a mass of faith power and started forging again.
The feeling of hammering special power as if it were metal was much more satisfying than pounding on actual metal.
However, before his hammer could fall, a loud voice interrupted: "Ahahaha, did my good friend miss me??"
What Zheng Yichen saw was a head of fiery red hair, and as for the face... no comment.
Klakauska laughed heartily as she approached Zheng Yichen: "I came, aren’t you going to welcome me?"
"Do you have extra merit points to buy a ticket?" Zheng Yichen’s gaze passed over Klakauska and landed on the person behind her: except for Nelliwey, there was also a voluptuous Holy Maiden like a ripe peach.
Alphis, sharing the same surname as Little Holy Maiden Lillian. Though Nelliwey seemed ordinary next to her, the two together were far more pleasant to view than a male dragon.
"Why wouldn’t I? I’m currently the only Dusk mercenary of the Dragon Tribe."
"Correction, you’re one of two." Zheng Yichen said as he glanced at the dragon egg sunbathing not far away: "There may be more Dusk mercenaries from the Dragon Tribe in the future."
"Tanshia Firlo has been acting with you all along; it’s different." Klakauska argued loudly.
Seeing the sunbathing dragon eggs, her eyes lit up, and she immediately leaned in: "Speaking of which, I’ve recently wanted to reclaim a dragon egg.
After all, I’m currently the sole Dusk mercenary of the Dragon Tribe and need a proper legacy to pass down my valuable experiences."
Mentioning this, Klakauska pulled a long face: "I even put those experiences into a book, but the elders refused to let that knowledge be imprinted into the ancestral memories!"
Zheng Yichen felt that the Dragon Tribe Elders had made the right call.
The red dragon, about to touch the dragon egg, was kicked away.
The green dragon, who always seemed gentle towards Zheng Yichen and repeatedly made inappropriate requests, turned into a tigress when facing Klakauska.
"Stay away from these kids!"
"Ah... What’s the big deal, being a Demigod, Demigod... ugh~" Klakauska hummed grumpily after being kicked away. His strength had been growing quite rapidly lately.
He had just reached the threshold of becoming a Demigod and could afford to spend time here as he had no Dusk mercenary tasks recently. As long as he settles down and strengthens his power, he can enter the realm of Demigods.
The Dragon Tribe had invested a lot of resources in him, and if he didn’t make it to the Demigod realm soon, he’d be in trouble.
A bunch of Demigods from the Dragon Tribe was watching him closely, ready with their fists.
That group of Demigods was planning to test the improved True Dragon Exposition on a suitable dragon. It’s a unique way to become a god directly with the flesh, without enhancing Magic Power. Of course, it works even better when combined with Magic Power.
The True Dragon Exposition is considered a new path, especially for those dragons whose talent isn’t particularly high.
And since he was the focus of the Dragon Tribe’s attention, the improved True Dragon Exposition was naturally applied to him.
Klakauska regarded this outing as his last chance to breathe free. Even if he returns after reaching Demigod status, not much change would occur.
He will still be fiercely trained; the difference being that with Demigod power, he’ll get beaten less, and the veteran Demigods, including the Clan Leader, will be gentler.
Regardless of what he’s like when he leaves, he’ll return the same—he hasn’t discarded any dragon rights temporarily. He’s certain to be strung up and punished by a bunch of veteran Demigod dragons.
"Kid, what do you want?" Sifreya grinned slightly, the draconic traits in her eyes becoming more pronounced.
Klakauska shrank his neck a little.
"I’m sorry." He admitted defeat decisively. There was nothing shameful about it; in terms of seniority, Sifreya was much older.
Let’s put it this way, when he was young, Sifreya took care of him—though that care was akin to how a kindergarten teacher takes care of children.
But the care dragons give to dragonlings isn’t on the same level.
Though he’s grown up now and doesn’t feel like he’s facing his mother with Sifreya, she is indeed an elder, closer than other dragons.
"I just want to adopt a dragon egg."
"If you want to adopt, go find the dragon’s nest; don’t think about this place." Sifreya waved her hand, chasing Klakauska away.
This batch of dragon eggs was under the Dragon God’s attention, and when taken back, the Dragon God would make arrangements.
The hatching is likely to be collective nurturing.
They certainly wouldn’t let Klakauska individually adopt, even if he was a Dusk mercenary.
Moreover, he had adopted a dragon egg before. Although there were some unavoidable circumstances that left a tragedy, it was not a good record.
Chased away, Klakauska said somewhat unassuredly, "I just want to pass on my precious Dusk mercenary experience."
"Heh, then go talk to the Dragon God." Sifreya wasn’t buying Klakauska’s bluff.
If he were still a dragonling, this guy might use his cute appearance and get her to say a few soft words.
Now, in her eyes, Klakauska was no different from having outgrown his cuteness.
Klakauska grinned slightly, a bit melancholic: "I merely wanted to recapture the feeling of the past; why is it so hard?"
"The feeling of the past? Looks like you’ve overcome your previous psychological shadow, congratulations." Zheng Yichen commented with an insincere smile, though he kept his hands busy like a relentless hammering machine.
A mass of faith power swiftly took shape under his forging, becoming a warhammer that appeared quite hefty.
Klakauska shook his head at Zheng Yichen, "This time, I plan to adopt a male giant dragon, no more daughters, I’ll raise a son instead."
Even though past events involved a curse and affected his memory, the impression was still deep-seated. So, even if he really adopted a dragon egg again,
he wouldn’t choose a mother dragon’s egg.
Zheng Yichen briefly paused: "By your Dragon Tribe’s standards, isn’t that unnecessary?"
"It’s necessary. If I adopt a mother dragon’s egg, I feel I’d be failing her." Klakauska said with a heavy tone.
Then he changed the topic: "Sigh, it’s just a random idea from me. I haven’t really decided to adopt a dragon egg. That hammer of yours looks nice, mind if I play with it?"
With that, he reached out to grab it, but couldn’t lift it—the faith power can be quite heavy sometimes.
The fire dragon stubbornly tried to handle the item.
Zheng Yichen seized the opportunity to chat with Alphis and the others.
