Chapter 26: Chapter 027: The Black Dragon Emerges
"How long does it really take to hatch dragon eggs?" In the basement, Johnsan circled around the black dragon eggs immersed in the large wooden vat of acid a few times, looked suspiciously at Fate on the side, and said, "Are you sure that the acid you concocted can speed up the hatching of the black dragon eggs?"
Fate's hand was shrunk in his sleeve still caressing the level six saber-toothed dragon core that he had gotten during the day, and when he heard that, he busily said, "Master, that's right. Black dragons are magical beasts that belong to the darkness attribute, and my grandfather and father have both said before that immersing them in acid will speed up the hatching of black dragon eggs. This is the same reasoning as hatching the Yin Water Black Snake's egg, I've seen my grandfather modulate it for others before, it can't be wrong."
"How's your magic practicing going?" After a few turns, Johnsan figured that the black dragon eggs weren't hatching that quickly, so he turned around and headed out, asking Fate as he went.
Fate followed him, scowling, and said sardonically, "It's much purer to utilize, but it's still all those beginner's magics of each line."
Cultivation this kind of thing a look at the talent, the second look at the effort, Johnsan knows that it is useless to rush, plus Fate has been cultivating quite hard, he also no longer say anything.
"You just stay here and watch." Johnsan lifted his step toward the outside and said, "I heard that black dragons are good for beating magic staffs, so I'll get you one when I get the chance."
Fate was overjoyed at the sound of his words, and followed Johnsan around with his ass full of thanks, and only when he saw Johnsan go up did he return excitedly back to the stone room, sitting calmly on the floor and entering into meditation within a moment.
......
Receiving the news of moving back to the original Viscount's mansion early in the morning, the Crowell mansion was overflowing with joy, and everyone's face was covered with heartfelt joy.
"All settled in?" Inside the house, Linda took a light sip of Molly's Specialty Extreme's black tea.
"The servants are all very active, basically they are all packed up and waiting to move over." Old butler Raymond replied respectfully.
Clare sat next to Linda, the black tea held in his hand was cold, and he was not seen taking a sip, his face could not hide his excitement.
"Old butler, how many gold coins do we still have in our mansion right now?" Linda put down the crystal clear crystal tea cup and asked softly.
"The young master got the skin of the Class 6 Magical Beast Saber-toothed Dragon yesterday, I sold it according to his instructions, and since it was complete I sold it for ten thousand gold coins. Together with the magical beast skins sold last time, excluding the money and rewards given to the guards and servants, there are a total of 30,200 gold coins in the account book." Saying that, Raymond took out his account book and handed it over.
Linda took it and casually flipped through it a few times, sighing, "This child, Nicholas, is really surprising. Such a large pile of magical beast fur, surprisingly he hunted it himself, the Falling Moon Mountain Range is so dangerous, he dares to go by himself."
Closing up the ledger, Linda continued, "Those who can stay in the mansion now are all people who are loyal to us and have a sense of justice, so they should be rewarded in a reasonable manner."
"Hm." The old butler bowed and said, "When we move back to the Viscount's house in the afternoon, the existing servants will definitely not be enough, and at that time, I would like to recruit some decent people from their house, so that I can use them without worrying about them, and also to help out."
"Hmm." Mrs. Linda nodded approvingly and waved her hand, "You watch."
The old butler nodded and respectfully retreated.
"My Lord Viscount." Linda turned her head to Crawl and smiled, "Are you ready?"
"Uh-huh." Clare put down her teacup and nodded with some excitement.
Linda couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the pleasant sound of her laughter carried right out into the courtyard, causing the servants carrying the stuff to probe and watch for a while.
"You ..." Clare was a little embarrassed and got up to cover the door, suddenly there was some concern on her face.
Linda was smart enough to know what Crowell was thinking without having to ask, so she said, "Do you feel as if Nicholas is a different person? Completely different?"
Clare nodded, sat down and said, "The more I think about it, the more confused I get."
"He's our son Nicholas." Linda put away her smile and said, "Could we ever be mistaken about our own son? Nicholas has been by our side since he was a child and hasn't suffered much. I think he has his own reasons for this experience, even though he won't talk about it explicitly. No matter what he does, I will support him because he is my Nicholas."
Looking at the determination and peace on Linda's face, Clare's mood calmed, but then frowned, "I think he got a little impulsive yesterday."
"It's not impulsive." Linda shook her head and said, "The fact that he knocked York down in front of Earl Ross on his first day back and cleaned up the Earl's guards in the process seems to be a bit arrogant and impulsive, but in fact, it was the best way to reclaim our title and for him to confirm his strength to the Harriman family. Extraordinary times call for thunderbolts, and what Nicholas did yesterday, I approve of."
At that moment, Raymond knocked on the door and said outside, "Your Lordship and Madam, a large group of carriages came outside, saying that they were sent by the Lord Earl to move for us."
"Don't interfere with Nicholas." Linda stood up and said to Crowell, "Nicholas will take care of his own business, and even if he gets into some kind of heavenly trouble, the Harriman family shouldn't be able to sit back and do nothing."
With mixed feelings, Clare stood up with an emotional sigh and followed Linda out.
Earl Ross sent a lot of people, in addition to fifteen huge carriages, he also sent more than a hundred servants to help move things. During Linda's illness, in order to gather enough gold coins to hire a high-level priest, Crowell had sold almost all of his valuable family assets, and there wasn't much to move now.
A dozen or so guards in the backyard stopped them, saying that the young master was meditating and cultivating his spiritual power in the backyard, and those servants also lightened their hands and feet for fear of disturbing Folo City's newest rising teenage summoner.
It didn't take long, and under the envious gazes of the onlooking civilians, the vast caravan drove towards the Viscount's mansion.
The Viscount's mansion was neatly repaired, two four-meter-high stone lions of the town hall were rearranged at the entrance, and the streets that were destroyed during yesterday's battle were restored overnight.
Clare and Linda entered the Viscount's mansion with a big smile on their faces, only to find that there was no shortage of furniture and other things inside the mansion, and they were all brand new, making their mood even more pleasant.
Amidst the clamor of the servants, the carriage that Earl Ross was riding in arrived outside the gate of the Viscount's mansion, and Clare and Linda were busy welcoming him, guiding Earl Ross into the parlor along with the Folo City Imperial Court clerks.
After a long time, the beaming Earl of Ross got into the carriage with a smile on his face, escorted by Mr. and Mrs. Crowell.
On Clare's chest, there was an additional medal, the Order of the Sword and Violet, symbolizing the House of Harriman.
It wasn't until late at night that Johnsan and Fate quietly moved back to the Viscount's mansion, escorted by a couple of guards, pulling the black dragon eggs soaked in barrels of acid in a wagon.
After dinner, Linda dismissed the servants waiting on the side and called out to Johnsan, who was trying to slip away.
"Nicholas." Linda's soft and boneless slender hand cupped the crystal teacup and gently sipped, saying, "The black dragon egg, and how you suddenly became a summoner, in reason, these things should be told to me and your father, right?"
Johnsan laughed dryly a few times, his strong black tea intuitively sour and bitter by the time it reached his mouth, and said, "I met a woman in THE Locomotive town, a very nice woman?"
"Hmm?" Linda's curiosity piqued, asked, "What kind of woman?"
"Uh, a fat woman with a dead husband, but a good heart. My captors were attacked and killed by a group of mercenaries, and I faked my own death to survive. Then I ran into the Locomotive town and met this fat woman, Anna, who took me in and gave me a place to stay."
"Then we have to thank her properly, if she is willing, please come back to our Viscount's house, and she doesn't have to do anything, she will definitely not be treated badly." Linda's eyes reddened a little.
"Forget it." Johnsan waved his hand and said, "Anna's used to being wild, and the only place she lives happily and comfortably is the place in THE Locomotive town, she won't be coming."
"Then we have to leave a message for her, too, so if we run into anything difficult in the future, we won't just sit back and do nothing." Clare interjected from the side.
Johnsan nodded and that's when Linda asked, "What happened after that? What happened."
"Uh, I was going to rush back, but I was alone, I didn't know the roads, and I didn't dare to tell my identity to just anyone. Then ... one day, I met a white haired old man."
"Old white-haired man?" Linda and Clare looked at each other with curiosity.
Johnsan's brain flew around, put on a mysterious look and said, "One day I was wandering around the town, suddenly I came across a white-haired old man on the side of the road who was cold and hungry, at that time, I felt some pity for him, so I sent him some food and clothes, at that time, he didn't say anything, and ate what he should have eaten, and wore what he should have worn as if he was taking it for granted. "
"As a result, he stayed there for many days in a row, and I brought him food every day. Until that night ten days later, when he called out to me, he gave me a copy of the Summoning Art Secrets, saying that he saw me as a good person and was repaying me."
Clare and Linda were so mesmerized by what they were hearing that they couldn't help but move forward.
The more Johnsan spoke, the more fluent he became, saying, "When a few more days passed, the old white-haired man disappeared, and I searched all over the town but couldn't find him. Originally, I couldn't cultivate anything with that summoning secret book alone, that's when I bumped into Fate, who had strayed into THE Locomotive town, it just so happened that he came from a summoner's family, both his grandfather and father were summoners, and with his help, I was able to cultivate summoning magic."
Saying that, Johnsan pulled out the summoning booklet that he exchanged from the old beggar with the spicy hot pot and handed it to Linda, and then said, "Perhaps it is also because this summoning secret booklet is very useful, I didn't cultivate it for a long time, and surprisingly, I opened up the spiritual space and my spiritual power grew greatly. It was smooth sailing further on, and I smoothly summoned a few summoning beasts in the Falling Moon Mountain Range, the ones father saw yesterday."
Linda flipped through the pamphlet and couldn't see why, and handed it back to Crowell. The latter took it in her hand and surveyed it for a few moments, nodded and said, "This booklet is quite a few years old, just by looking at the pages you can tell that it's at least a hundred years old."
"Where is the black dragon egg? Don't tell me that you defeated the black dragon and snatched it, I won't believe you to death." Linda turned her head again and asked.
Johnsan smiled slightly and told the story of the black dragon from beginning to end again, the alien black dragon naturally did not say anything, only that it was the magician and the war saint who lost both, and he himself rode the summoned beast to grab the black dragon egg and ran away.
"You are also too bold." Linda shouted, "To be able to ride a golden-eyed magic eagle, can that be an ordinary magician? There's also that Battle Saint, you ..." said, Linda's tears came out sharply.
Johnsan was busy smiling, "I'm not fine, am I? Besides, even if my summoned beasts can't beat them, they may not lose if they run."
"Nicholas has come back, it's not all right." Clare comforted Mrs. Linda.
Linda was also a little nervous and emotional for a moment, gathered her heart, but then "giggled".
"Back then, when they tested Nicholas' spiritual power, they all said that his qualifications were mediocre, and there were even people who said that he was a waste. I'll see who dares to say that in the future, Nicholas, the Harriman family will be proud of you in the future." Linda's face was filled with pride.
"As long as you're proud of me, Harriman family, say so." Johnsan said with a smile.
"Finally fooled." Johnsan said in his mind, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
......
The underground chamber of the Viscount's mansion was much more open and bright compared to the commoner's one, the walls and floors were made of huge lapis lazuli slabs, and every ten paces or so on the wall was set with a fat-headed eagle's crystallized nucleus, this second-grade magical beast's crystallized nucleus was softly and brightly lighted, and it was the best to install in a dark underground chamber.
Of course, the price of fat-headed eagle crystal cores is not low, adult fat-headed eagle crystal cores are all around five gold coins, general civilians naturally can't afford to use it, but it's very common in the noble mansions.
"Master." Fate suddenly ran over from the end of the underground chamber and met Johnsan who had just walked down, saying with an excited and thrilled face, "The black dragon ... black dragon egg is going to hatch."
Johnsan was overjoyed at the sound of it, and with a whoosh, he flashed to the secret room at the end of the passage, only to see that the black dragon egg was trembling slightly in the barrel placed inside the room, sending out ripples in the acid.
Johnsan watched the black dragon's egg nervously, only to see that after not much time of shaking, the egg stopped without any movement, and he couldn't help but tighten his heart.
"Ka-ching." With a faint whisper, the shell of the dragon egg cracked open, followed by the cracks cracking open like a spider web, and with a bang the fist-sized egg shell was lifted open, revealing a small head with its eyes closed tightly, and two tiny buds of flesh growing on its wet head.
As if they were afraid of frightening it, Johnsan and Fate held their breath, not daring to breathe. Breaking out of the shell was a necessary part of life for an egg-born being, and they didn't want to help the little black dragon.
As the little black dragon's head squeezed, the hole in the eggshell grew bigger and bigger, and the little black dragon's entire head poked out, followed by the two front paws, which also stretched out, making a strong effort to expand outwards.
"With a thud, the little black dragon exerted too much force and violently crushed the eggshell, and its half-human body fell into the drunken liquid.
Johnsan, startled, ran to the barrel and peered in, only to see the little black dragon float out of the acid and sneeze a few times in human form.
"Huh." Johnsan looked amused and couldn't help but laugh. At that moment, the black dragon opened its clueless eyes and looked at him blankly, its mouth slightly open and closed.
"What now?" Johnsan asked in a whisper to Fate as he looked at the black dragon without blinking.
"Well ... that ... it's probably recognizing someone." Fate huddled behind Johnsan, not quite sure, after all, this was the first time he had seen a dragon born as well.
"With a crash of water, the small, dark black dragon leapt violently out of the acid and pounced on Johnsan, sticking out his tongue to lick his face.
Johnsan was startled, but fortunately the acid wasn't too corrosive and he wasn't hurt. He also didn't dare to push hard for fear of hurting the little black dragon, his neck leaning back as hard as he could to avoid the little black dragon's tongue.
"What's going on?"
Fate blinked his eyes and said with an uncertain face, "I have heard that some intelligent magical beasts, at birth, will have an inexplicable affection for the creatures they see at first sight, it won't treat you as a mother ... oh ... that loved one! right?"
"Ah!" Johnsan was dumbfounded and gently carried the little black dragon and placed it on the ground, who knew that just as soon as he let go, it jumped up again and burrowed in Johnsan's arms to push the milky horns on its head against his chest.
Soaking the black dragon egg in acid to speed up its hatching, Johnsan's intention was to have the now only remaining alien egg to attach after the little black dragon came out, wanting to have one more rah-rah alien black dragon. Now that the little black dragon had actually come out, Johnsan was a bit reluctant to do so.
Half a man's height body, covered with black scale armor, hind limbs unconsciously stomping lightly, front feet grabbing the collar of Johnsan's chest, the little black dragon blinking its big eyes, clear eyes smartly spinning, its mouth emitting a "mmmmmm" soft purring sound, just quietly looking at Johnsan.
Johnsan was instantly softened, knowing that the little black dragon thought of himself as a mom.
"Master." Fate said excitedly, "Hurry up and use the summoning technique to turn it into your summoned beast, it just came out of the world and is not wary of you, so it will definitely work."
"Forget it, the little black dragon is too small now, why don't you grow up a bit before possessing it. This isn't me being soft-hearted, maybe it's not bad to possess a pure black dragon."
Johnsan was soothing himself in his mind, he concentrated on his spiritual power, and drew the talismanic pattern in the air with his hand, the white light flashed, and the talismanic pattern flew towards the top of the little black dragon's head. Just as Fate had said, the spirit of the little black dragon did not put up any resistance, and let the talismanic pattern enter its mind, laying down a summoning seal on its spirit.
Having completed the summoning, Johnsan then felt an additional subtle spiritual connection between himself and the little black dragon, much more intimate even than the alien.
With a slight movement of his mind, the little black dragon disappeared from his sight and appeared in Johnsan's mental space.
The most marvelous thing about the spirit space was that if a summoned beast didn't receive a spiritual command from the summoner in it, then it would fall into a state of deep sleep in a very short period of time. This was also the case with the little black dragon, which immediately fell into sleep after entering Johnsan's spirit space.
It was sleeping on the huge alien black dragon.
The Alien Queen is still like Johnsan when he first discovered the existence of spiritual space, even the posture is exactly the same, there is no spiritual communication with him, if not with the "see", Johnsan can not feel its existence.
