Lucius smirked, waving his hand dismissively. "Don't overthink it, Luna. We're not going through all that trouble."
Luna raised her eyebrow. "Oh? Then what's the plan? You're not about to tell you have a dragon hidden sowhere, are you?"
Lucius leaned back, resting his chin on his knuckles. "Did you forget about my power?"
Luna blinked. "Oops… I totally forgot."
She laughed, shaking her head. "Master always has the simplest yet most ridiculous solutions."
Liora, who had been silently watching, finally spoke. "So what are you saying? We don't need to find a dragon?"
Lucius nodded. "Exactly. Just buy a reptile. I'll evolve it into a dragon."
Loreia, who had been sipping on a drink, nearly choked. "Wait… You can do that?"
Before Lucius could respond, Luna practically jumped in excitent. "Of course he can! Master was the best Evolist in our previous world!"
Loreia frowned, wiping her mouth. "Evolist? I've never heard of that term."
Luna smirked, clearly enjoying the mont. "It ans soone who can directly evolve and strengthen beasts."
She then rolled her eyes. "Unlike normal tars who rely on contracts and gradual training, Evolists create superior creatures from scratch."
Loreia's was a bit surprised. "So basically, you can take any weak beast and turn it into sothing absurdly powerful?"
Lucius nodded. "That's right. That's why we don't need to go looking for a dragon—we'll just make one."
Loreia exhaled, rubbing her temples. "You're ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous."
Lucius sighed, mirroring her gesture as he rubbed his own temples. "Why is that surprising? The mont I gave you a Divine-Tier talent, you should've realized I'm not normal."
Loreia folded her arms, narrowing her eyes. "Oh, I realized it. I'm just still adjusting to the level of insanity that follows you around."
Lucius smirked. "That's fair. But you'll get used to it."
Loreia scoffed. "Will I, though?"
Luna grinned. "Oh, you will. The sooner you accept that logic doesn't apply when Master's involved, the happier you'll be."
Loreia gave Luna a sideways glance. "That's not exactly reassuring."
Liora, who had been silently observing, finally spoke. "Enough talking. If we're doing this, we should move quickly. The best selections will be at the higher-end beast markets."
Lucius nodded. "Agreed. We'll get sothing with a strong base form, and from there, I'll handle the rest."
Loreia leaned against the table. "Just one thing—this whole evolution thing… how fast does it work?"
Lucius smirked. "Instantly."
Loreia blinked. "What?"
Luna chuckled. "Oh, you'll see. It's quite the sight."
Loreia sighed again, finally accepting it. "Yeah… you're right. Guess I shouldn't be shocked at this point."
Lucius sighed again, shaking his head. "At least you're catching up now."
Luna stretched her arms. "So, what are we waiting for? Let's go buy a lizard and make a dragon."
Loreia nodded, exhaling. "Yeah, yeah, let's go before I overthink this."
As they turned to leave, Lucius reminded them once more. "Protect her."
Liora, who had already been prepared, simply nodded. "Of course, Master."
Lucius nodded approvingly. "Good. Now go. I expect results."
With that, the three of them left the apartnt, stepping onto the bustling streets outside.
Their destination? The Beast Castle—one of the most exclusive, high-end beast markets in the city.
It was a place where the wealthy and powerful acquired rare creatures, whether for combat, prestige, or research.
As they walked through the streets, Luna glanced at Loreia. "So, any last-minute preferences? Or are we just grabbing the first overgrown lizard we see?"
Loreia crossed her arms. "I just want sothing strong. No big cats, though."
Luna chuckled. "Still avoiding the 'big cat squad' thing, huh?"
Loreia rolled her eyes. "I'd rather have sothing unique."
Liora, who had remained quiet, finally spoke. "Then we should focus on reptiles with high adaptability. If Master is going to evolve it, the base form should have good potential."
Loreia raised her eyebrow. "And where exactly do we find sothing like that?"
Luna smirked. "Simple. We just let them show us the best one by making them fight."
Loreia sighed. "I feel like this is going to be a lot more chaotic than it needs to be."
Liora adjusted her gloves. "That depends on how they respond when we arrive."
As they approached the Beast Castle, the massive gates ca into view.
Inside, so of the rarest creatures in the region were waiting.
Luna grinned, cracking her knuckles. "Alright, let's go shopping."
---
They were now inside the Beast Castle. They could see the high-end feeling from the grandeur of the building.
There were a lot of wealthy tars and nobles that road around, inspecting beasts for contracts or just pets.
It didn't take long for one of the staff mbers to notice Loreia and the other.
They were three beautiful won who were elegant and had so noble auras.
Even if they weren't carrying visible insignias, their refined posture and presence imdiately made the staff think that they were wealthy.

One of the staff mbers imdiately thought, "Rich clients... I need to make them spend as much as possible."
Making his best custor service smile, he approached with a polite bow. "Welco to The Beast Castle, one of the finest beast markets in the city. How may I assist you today?"
Loreia stepped forward without hesitation. "I want a strong reptilian beast."
Luna leaned in slightly, smirking. "Specifically sothing related to dragons."
The staff mber's eyes lit up. "A dragon-related beast? Interesting choice."
He straightened up, adjusting his uniform. "And what rank of beast are you looking for?"
Liora's expression remained cold and unreadable as she answered. "Just show us C- or B-Rank options."
The staff mber almost blinked in surprise. C or B-Rank?
Most newcors barely dared to ask for D-Rank beasts. These won weren't ordinary.
Composing himself quickly, he nodded with a professional smile. "I see. Then please, follow . I will personally show you our finest collection."
With that, he turned and led them deeper into the market, where the rare and powerful beasts resided.
