Chapter 390: Chapter 206: Shrinking Ropar, the Birth of the Shadow Giant Dragon

The Dragon Egg, engraved with the improved Dragon Pattern, absorbed Energy Particles with far greater efficiency. Natural energy absorption alone was no longer enough to satisfy the egg’s demands, so Magic Stone Coins had to be added to the array every day to provide it with a source of energy.

"You’re dismissed," Pei Ze said with a wave of his hand.

The Water Sprite was a little confused, but it obediently turned and left.

Pei Ze pushed open the door and walked into the room.

Before his eyes, the once perfectly round Dragon Egg was gone. In its place was a lizard-like creature, crunching and munching on the scattered fragments of its own eggshell on the ground.

Its entire body was damp, its scales as black as a deep Ghostly Shadow. They looked a bit soft, but as it ate, the scales were rapidly hardening at a visible rate. A pair of small, black, fleshy wings drooped from its back.

It was, unmistakably, a newly born member of the Dragon Race!

Hearing the sound, the Dragon Beast turned its head. Its gaze fell upon Pei Ze, and it felt an inexplicable sense of closeness. It subconsciously walked up to Pei Ze and gently nuzzled him with its head.

The newly born Shadow Giant Dragon was only about 1.7 meters tall, its head just reaching Pei Ze’s chest.

He smiled faintly and reached out to pat the Dragon Beast’s head.

Before the Dragon Egg hatched, Pei Ze had already imprinted a Contract Rune on it. The Dragon Beast, upon its birth, was thus bound as his servant, incapable of betrayal for its entire life.

This was the standard method Wizards used to enslave the Dragon Race.

"From now on, I’ll call you Mo Ying," Pei Ze said.

"WHIMPER." Mo Ying cried out a few times, conveying its hunger and desire to eat.

The diet of the Dragon Race was varied, but it was best for a newborn to consume things rich in energy. Pei Ze directly tossed out a Magic Crystal Stone.

Mo Ying snatched it in a single bite, crunched it to pieces, and swallowed it down, letting out a satisfied grunt.

Pei Ze left the room with Mo Ying and happened upon Nymph and Xiaoyi, who had sensed the commotion and rushed over. He took the opportunity to introduce them.

"This is Mo Ying, the newest member of the manor."

Nymph glanced at Mo Ying with some trepidation—even a newborn of the Dragon Race was an incredibly powerful existence to a Water Sprite—before turning to look at her master with a face full of adoration.

’He can even keep a member of the Dragon Race as a pet. As expected of the Master!’

Xiaoyi had, at some point, sidled up to Mo Ying. She curiously reached out a hand to touch its scales, only to be unceremoniously flung away by a toss of its head. Furious, she shrieked and flailed, ready to teach the newcomer a lesson about respecting its elders.

However, Mo Ying paid her no mind at all.

’Even a newborn of the Dragon Race has its pride.’

’A powerless little thing wants to climb on my head and boss me around?’

’Wishful thinking!’

Ignoring the two little ones’ squabbling, Pei Ze casually took out a piece of parchment, wrote out a list, and handed it to Nymph.

"I’ll be away for a while. During that time, follow this list and prepare Mo Ying’s food."

"Yes, Master," Nymph said, cautiously taking the parchment.

Pei Ze thought for a moment and decided to leave Wuyu behind as well.

Wuyu had already devoured nearly ninety percent of the evolution ’recipe’ provided by the Eye of Omniscience. It only needed to consume fewer than three thousand more crow-type Magical Creatures to complete the process, making this a critical moment.

’Besides, Wuyu can’t be of much help to me right now anyway. It’s better to leave it here to focus on devouring the crow-type Magical Creatures and try to evolve to the fourth tier as soon as possible.’

After arranging everything, Pei Ze finally went to the underground hall, took out the materials, and began to set up the Plane Teleportation Array.

The Plane Teleportation Array, improved by the Eye of Omniscience, was extremely effective and not difficult to set up. Most importantly, the material cost was not high.

All the materials for a single Plane Teleportation Array added up to just over a hundred thousand Magic Stone Coins.

To an Elemental Mage, a little over a hundred thousand Magic Stone Coins was truly not worth mentioning.

After all, establishing even the most basic Wizard Tower required millions of Magic Crystal Stones, which would equate to hundreds of millions of Magic Stone Coins.

’After I get back from the Ancient Forest Plane, I should put building a Wizard Tower on the agenda.’
