Chapter 357: Dragon Egg

"Oh, I'll leave it to you, Sien; after feeding the Thestrals, come with me to the library to get some books."

Haige appeared somewhat bashful; he seemed to want to say something, but was a bit worried and didn't open his mouth.

"What do you think of dragons? Those little, oh, cute little guys."

On the way to feed the Thestrals, Haige asked tentatively.

"Newly arrived dragon eggs need to be placed in fire."

Sien recalled the large egg placed under the quilt in Haige's cabin and said.

"Oh—my god—"

Haige threw down the raw meat he was carrying,

"Please go with Fang, Sien! I have to go back, my, my stomach probably isn't feeling too well..."

Haige's voice grew further and further away.

Sien sighed; it seemed he had to borrow the books for Haige quickly, such as 'Dragon Farming for Pleasure and Profit'; although this book was already a bit outdated, the content was very complete.

At least it wouldn't result in a situation where a dragon egg was put in a quilt.

Haige should have known, but he had been too excited all day; Sien thought he was probably too agitated and forgot.

Just right, the Thestral proficiency was just a little bit off; Sien walked to that forest area with light steps.

A tall, gaunt, pitch-black winged horse appeared before Sien.

Sien touched the upper part of its neck; this would make the Thestral very comfortable, and it was also Professor Haige's technique.

【You have gained the affinity of the magical creature Thestral (Wu Wu) with the standard of a skilled hand, proficiency +10】

【A new magical creature field title has been unlocked, please check】

Hmm?

Sien discovered he seemed to have forgotten this matter; the skilled-level title in the magical creature field required the affinity of three magical creatures (skilled level).

Up to now, the magical creatures that had affinity with Sien were the cat-like Mrs. Norris, the Thestral Wu Wu, and the Bowtruckle Tina.

And the magical creature field didn't seem to encourage widely obtaining magical creature affinity, but rather truly turning the magical creatures around one into partners.

So the standard for the entry-level title was three slightly close magical creatures; the skilled level was still three, only they needed to be close to the wizard.

After thinking it through, Sien looked down:

【Title: Magical Creature Affinitor】

【Greatly increase affinity for magical creatures, greatly increase understanding of magical creatures】

Before Sien could react to what greatly increased affinity meant, he saw the Bowtruckles, who usually hid and were nowhere to be seen, suddenly move. When Sien looked at them, their whiskers tilted upward, which was the meaning of expressing "curiosity and happiness."

Wu Wu let out a cry, and the Bowtruckles hid again; only Tina was lying on Sien's head, daring to stretch out her tree-branch-like hand to touch Wu Wu.

Hmm... it seemed that because of him, the degree of closeness between the magical creatures had also increased.

The Thestral biscuit completed the most important preparatory work; Sien took out the Planning Map after finishing the feeding task.

Now the red exclamation mark above the Forbidden Forest had disappeared, and the red exclamation mark for the Alchemy Office lit up.

The time for the International Alchemy Conference was getting closer, and there wasn't much time left for Sien to manufacture Thestral biscuits.

On this sunny, beautiful day.

Sien walked into Haige's cabin.

Fang rubbed against Sien's feet; Sien touched its head and prepared to leave.

Fang appeared obedient at Sien's feet, but actually, it was the overlord of the Forbidden Forest; Haige had told Sien this:

"As long as you are with me or Fang, no creature in the Forbidden Forest will hurt you."

Sien noticed that in the very center of the stove fire, under the kettle, lay a pitch-black large egg.

Sien knew that it was what made the cabin suffocatingly hot.

It was also it that made Haige add firewood to the fireplace burning with roaring flames on such a warm, sunny day.

"Goodbye, Haige."

Sien prepared to leave; an unhatched dragon, Sien felt it would be very difficult to gain its affinity.

"I don't even know how to thank you, Sien, please drink some tea before you go..."

Haige stood up from the bed and hurriedly made tea for Sien.

Sien took a sip, but for the ferret sandwich Haige brought over, Sien politely declined.

"Alright, Sien, I think you've already guessed... a child with keen observation, nothing can escape your eyes..."

He said, half-embarrassed and half-expectant.

"I certainly can't do it alone; I want to ask you to come with me to take care of this little guy, would you be willing..."

"I'd be happy to help."

Sien nodded; Haige hummed a little tune happily, then sent Sien out of the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

"Goodbye, see you tomorrow."

He wanted to give Sien a hug; Sien, who had almost had his ribs broken last time, dodged nimbly.

Then the two fell into a long stare.

"Ha—sorry, it's all my fault, I forgot again—I will definitely remember next time—"

Haige blushed with a large face, feeling embarrassed.

The Thestral biscuit ritual was perfected very smoothly; with the experience of the first two times, Sien became increasingly familiar with the whole process.

While making the biscuits, Haige asked him to help go to the library to get some books.

But later Haige gave up reading books; he discovered that there was a library right beside him.

"Let me see, vertical texture, black egg... oh, Sien, do you see what kind of dragon this is..."

"Norwegian Ridgeback."

"How rare, it's reminding here that after the cub hatches, it should..."

"After it hatches, feed it a bucket of chicken blood and brandy every half hour, the content of 'Dragon Farming for Pleasure and Profit'."

"It says to be careful here, but doesn't say what to be careful of..."

"Be careful of its poisonous fangs, and its ability to spit fireballs that matures early." ===== CHAPTER 358 =====
