"Welco back. Judging by your expressions, it seems everything went well."
Elaria, who had been waiting patiently, sighed in relief upon seeing John and the others return safely.
"We did encounter so trouble and nearly got wiped out, but in the end, we still won."
"Too bad the reward was a pile of junk..."
Exiled Immortal pouted, clearly still upset about the first-clear reward from the dungeon. Seeing his expression, Helena impatiently pinched his ear and scolded, "If you keep whining, I'll twist your ear off! It'll only cost you ten percent of your HP, and you can reattach it. Want to test that?"
"No, no violence!"
Hearing this, Exiled Immortal quickly hid behind Qing, avoiding further confrontation.
Unfortunately, Qing was completely engrossed in researching handguns and sniper rifles with Old Mac and had no ti to deal with him, so Exiled Immortal had to give in.
"In summary, our journey in Talcavano is nearing its end, and we'll soon be on the road again."
"Sigh... Finally leaving this place. Every day I open the door to endless sand and scorching heat. I can't take it much longer."
"Uncle Mac, you haven't changed your mind about joining us, have you? Are you coming with us?"
John glanced at Mac, who nodded slightly and smiled, "Of course. Spending ti with you young folks makes feel younger. Besides, I need to find my daughter. I won't leave until we get to Everglow."
"Then it's settled. We'll stay in Talcavano for another three days before we set off. Enjoy this rare mont of peace, everyone. Once we head to Spartonia, things won't be so leisurely.
That place... heh."
For John, it was a nightmare.
"Alright, dismissed! Free ti, but be cautious of the [Divine Emissary]."
After advising everyone, John returned to his room to get so rest.
There were still many questions troubling John, including how to transform Elaria into a player, the item Seraphina ntioned that could track [Divine Emissaries], and most importantly...
"These two dragon eggs aren't duds, are they? Why haven't they shown any signs?"
John knocked on the shell of the dragon egg, but apart from the scorching heat, there was no response.
"Tsk, no one told how to hatch these things!"
These were legendary dragons!
If both hatched, it would bring a significant increase in combat power. Besides, who wouldn't want to be a Dragon Knight?
John had been thinking about this for a long ti, but the two eggs remained completely inactive...
"I should have asked [Deception] earlier; he might know how."
After dealing with the trouble caused by Kaldaram, [Deception] had left, saying he needed to go to Spartonia ahead of them to scout and check on [Rage].
If everything went as expected, that guy should wake up soon.
Although John had never dealt with [Rage] directly, from [Deception]'s expression, it was clear that he wouldn't be easy to handle.
According to [Deception], [Rage] has the ability to convert anger into strength, making him incredibly powerful.
Moreover, he's known for his short temper, getting angry at the smallest things.
In the entire [Apostle] faction, [Rage] is undoubtedly the strongest.
John was skeptical about [Deception]'s words, especially since he had previously claid that [Betrayal] had high combat power.
Nevertheless, it's always best to be prepared.
These two dragon eggs were undoubtedly the quickest way for John to increase his combat power.
"Seraphina, Seraphina? Can you hear ?"
"Shut up! I can hear you, you're so annoying!"
"...Are you still working on it?"
"What do you think? With your knack for getting into trouble, if I don't hurry and finish this thing, who knows when you'll get yourself killed!
So, if you have sothing to say, say it quickly and don't bother !"
"Do you know how to hatch these two dragon eggs?"
"It's not ti yet. The life within these eggs is still developing. To fully hatch, it will take about three months.
If you want to speed up the process, provide them with the best hatching environnt, and it might shorten the ti to one month."
"The best hatching environnt?"
John sat up and looked at the two dragon eggs.
One had a surface covered in fiery red whirlpools, the shell constantly emitting high heat.
The other was entirely different, looking lush and full of life.
"One needs to be heated, and the other needs to be in a place with a strong natural atmosphere?"
"Looks like you're not completely hopeless. Now go do it and stop bothering !"
With that, Seraphina cut off their connection, not giving John any chance to ask more questions.
Seeing this, John pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed deeply.
Finding a place with abundant life is not difficult; [Deep Forest] is an excellent choice. However, the high temperature is a different issue...
The lava inside Mine No. 3 could solve the high-temperature problem, but the eggs require an entire month to hatch, and John can't stay here that long.
"Never mind... let's head back to [Deep Forest] first."
Hearing this, Elaria's eyes lit up, and she looked at John with delight. "John, are we going back?"
"Yeah, we have a few days of free ti. Do you want to go back and check on things?"
"Yes! I've been worried and want to see how everyone is doing. Elowen should be an excellent leader by now, right?"
"Get ready; we'll leave in five minutes!"
John considered calling Exiled Immortal and the others, but then decided against it, relishing the rare opportunity for so ti alone with Elaria.
He put away the two dragon eggs, and once Elaria had packed her belongings, he crushed the teleportation scroll.
The scenery around them changed dramatically, and when they regained their bearings, they were near the elven settlent in [Deep Forest].
As soon as they appeared, their presence was imdiately detected.
However, upon recognizing Elaria and John, the elven scouts hidden in the treetops revealed themselves.
"Your Majesty! You've returned!"
"And Master John! Long ti no see, Master John!"
"Perkins, Palr, it's been a while."
Elaria correctly nad the two scouts, making them feel extrely honored.
"Your Majesty, we thought you wouldn't co back..."
"How could that be? This is my holand, our holand. I'll always co back whenever I have the ti. So, how have things been for the elves lately?"
Upon hearing this, Perkins' eyes lit up. "Your Majesty, after you left, Lady Elowen followed your instructions.
She expanded the settlent, strengthened our defenses, and engaged in friendly negotiations with nearby races.
Now, the size of the elven settlent has at least doubled!"
"There's more! People from many other races are now allowed to enter the elven settlent. As long as they verify their identity and don't carry weapons, they can stay temporarily.
If they want to apply for long-term residence, they need a guarantor from the elven tribe, two people responsible for each other.
Ah, I'm not very good with words, but the elven tribe is getting better and better. Your Majesty, you should go see for yourself!
Lady Elowen will be very happy to know you've returned!
My brother and I have tasks to attend to, so we can't escort you the whole way. We hope you understand..."
"It's fine, having a sense of responsibility is a good thing. John and I can go back on our own. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's no trouble at all! Master John, thank you for the armor. It has saved our lives more than once."
John smiled warmly. "This ti, I'll help you make more life-sustaining armor. Look forward to it."
"Really? That's wonderful! Thank you, Master John!"
As soon as Perkins finished speaking, Palr slapped him on the back.
"Are you stupid? Did you forget Lady Elowen's instructions? When you see Master John, you're supposed to call him the Elven King!"
