He had not expected that the new spirit potion he had sold would now return to his own hands.
It was a gift from Prince Antoine.
It was a further gesture of goodwill and wooing.
He had wanted to refuse, but Antoine's servant put down the potion and left in a hurry.
He frowned.
Harriet's reminder was still ringing in his ears.
He had no interest in the intrigue and strife within the palace.
Everyone seemed to think of him as Harriet's successor, and even Harriet seemed to have a vague idea.
The royal family had decorated him, and Antoine had deliberately befriended him. Both sides were trying to rope him in.
Harriet had guarded the Alcott Empire for five hundred years.
But, Joelson would not do that.
Joelson raised his head, and through the window of the carriage, he could see the vast starry sky.
This world was very big, and he would not stay in a small Alcott Empire forever.
...
Time passed very quickly. Three days later.
In the Dragon God Ranch.
After carefully picking the mature dragon reeds, Joelson called out towards the lava volcano, "Du Lu!"
A huge fire dragon broke out from the lava. It flapped its wings and slowly landed in front of Joelson.
"Open your mouth!"
Du Lu obediently lay on the ground and lowered its head. Just like when it was a child, its mouth was wide open.
Hot steam came out of its throat, bringing with it a smell of sulfur.
Joelson threw one flower after another into Du Lu's mouth.
"Gulp gulp..."
Du Lu did not even bother to chew. The small flower was not even as big as its teeth, so it directly swallowed it.
However, its growth value kept increasing.
3870,3920,3970...
4020!
There was a flash of light in Joelson's eyes.
Promotion!
Almost at the next moment, Du Lu suddenly raised his head, issued a huge roar.
It could not help flapping its wings to fly to the sky, a faint red light from its body emitted.
The body expands and grows again.
Joelson could feel all the fire elements in the air converging towards Du Lu.
The dignity of a dragon soared once again.
The violent aura dispersed the small clouds above the floating island.
Tier-6 giant dragon!
Du Lu had taken another big step towards becoming an adult!
Joelson looked at Du Lu's attribute panel through the Dragon God Arena.
Fire Dragon Clan

Skills: Level 1-6 fire magic, bite, dragon shield

With one upgrade, Du Lu's combat power had increased by a full 500 points.
Du Lu soared in the sky, roaring furiously and spewing flames as it wantonly released its dragon might.
Joelson knew that it was yearning for a battle!
"Don't rush."
Joelson said softly.
He still had more important things to do.
"Congratulations, rancher, for successfully raising a dragon to tier-6."
"Obtained reward, new attribute Dragon Egg * 1"
A hint of excitement appeared on Joelson's face.
He had been looking forward to this for a long time.
A new dragon companion.
The illusory turntable filled with dragon eggs of various elements appeared once again.
At a glance, Joelson saw a dragon egg that emitted a metallic luster.
It gave off a heavy feeling, as if it was cast with steel.
Steel dragon.
Recalling the domineering and fierce posture of the ancient steel dragon soul in the Dragon God Arena.
He even wanted to rush up to it and bring it down.
Also, his gaze swept across the turntable.
A pure white dragon egg caught his attention.
The pure white dragon egg was filled with a sacred aura.
Beside the pure white dragon egg was a black dragon egg that was the complete opposite of him.
Staring at its pitch-black egg shell that was like the night, it was as if even its soul was about to be sucked in.
Light and dark elemental dragon eggs!
Joelson's heart trembled violently.
He had experienced how terrifying light and dark attributes were.
The tier-4 light and dark elemental magic wolves in the mage tower had made him suffer.
After that, Joelson had challenged the fortieth level several times, but without exception, he had failed all of them, not even once.
If it was a dragon with light and dark attributes.
Even he couldn't imagine how terrifying it would be.
Light, dark, or metal, just give me any one!
He thought silently.
He took a deep breath and confirmed the lottery draw.
The illusory wheel spun quickly, the needle skimmed over light, dark, metal...
Joelson felt a sense of loss, but when the needle slowly stopped on a dragon egg...
His eyes froze for a moment.
It was actually a dragon egg with this attribute?!
It was a dragon egg that was as blue as the sky.
The eggshell was flowing with a faint magical halo, as if water was flowing on it.
It was very beautiful, like a huge blue agate stone.
"Congratulations to the rancher for obtaining a water elemental dragon egg *1"
Water elemental dragon egg.
Joelson's expression started to become strange.
Du Lu was a fire elemental dragon, and now he was given a water elemental dragon egg.
A bold idea came to his mind uncontrollably.
Perhaps this was not a very bad lottery result, and it might even be a very lucky result.
Thinking of that possibility, Joelson could not help but feel a little excited.
But the first step he had to do now was to hatch the dragon egg.
Joelson took out the dagger that he had prepared earlier and gently cut his finger. He still remembered that when he bit his finger, it was still quite painful.
Blood flowed out from the tip of his finger and dripped onto the blue dragon egg.
The egg shell was like a sponge, absorbing all the blood.
This time, Joelson had a special feeling.
It was as if the contract had been signed in a place he did not know.
Crack!
A crisp cracking sound.
A baby dragon as blue as the sky popped its head out of the egg shell.
It was a small one, very cute.
The baby dragon struggled to get out of the eggshell.
Plop!
It fell to the ground with a loud sound.
"Yi ni, Yi ni..."
The water-type baby dragon seemed to be in pain from the fall. Its mouth grew bigger, and tears started to flow out of its sapphire-like big eyes.
It actually cried?
Joelson didn't know what to say.
This baby dragon was much more delicate than du Lu.
Could it be a girl?!
Du Lu flapped its wings and descended from the sky.
Its eyes were filled with curiosity. It had never seen any other dragon, except for the steel dragon's dragon soul.
This was the first time it had seen such a small dragon of its kind.
Du Lu was like using a big dog at this time. It leaned its head over and kept sniffing the scent.
Frightened, the young water dragon backed away and cried even harder.
