When the MC of the book touched the egg, he had not felt a heartbeat.
The dragon was not alive. All that was there was a mass of power and lingering will that wanted to connect and be free. This was what he absorbed into his body to get cultivation.
But now, Chiron could clearly feel a heartbeat.
It was slow and very subtle, like the heart of a dying person. But it was there. It was definitely there.
Chiron suddenly looked around him. deep in his gut, something was wrong, and he could feel it.
And then his eyes caught sight of the runes on the pillars.
When the MC of the book had gotten here, he had not yet roamed the world for hundreds of years, and therefore, he did not know how to speak or read runes.
To him, these were just symbols.
But not to Chiron.
He was fortunate enough to have experienced the life of the MC in his dreams. He knew how to read and even speak rune. At least he knew it enough to read the story on the pillars.
See! I told you it was nice
