Chapter 2848
308 of the General Calendar, this was another heavy snowy winter, just like when the light and shadow started. It's just that the position of the dragon egg was far from the initial position after eighty-one years.
Heavy snow buried the dragon egg again. Deep in the forest where no one was around, the snow seemed unusually heavy.
But the wild wolves that came to look for food in the vast snow still dug it out of the snow. Perhaps one of its ancestors had done something similar.
The size of the dragon egg had not changed, but the color on the surface was slightly pale. Grandma Cassandra had just said that this was a sign that the egg was about to shatter.
The wolf tried to bite it several times, but could not break the dragon egg that was older than its age. So it tried to smash the egg again. After the charge, a collision made the egg sway and roll a few times in the snow.
The wolf stepped on the snow and walked over to see the situation of its attempt this time, but the egg shook violently, scaring it to run away with its tail between its legs.
The egg was indeed shaking in the snow because of itself. It probably also felt that it no longer had the possibility of hatching, so it shook itself desperately at the last moment of its life.
The wolf happened to push it to the edge of the snow slope. Under the shaking, the dragon egg rolled down along the snow slope. Although the snow was very loose, there was a big tree with a waist thicker than Unlike Xia De at the bottom of the snow slope. If it hit it in its current state, it would probably really shatter.
Because of its own physical properties, the dragon egg did not stick to snowflakes while rolling, so the egg rolling faster and faster hit the tree at a very fast speed, and it was about to hit the tree.
Ajelina held Dorothy's hand tightly because of excessive tension. Fortunately, a slightly protruding stone on the snow slope made the egg fly up in high-speed rotation.
It drew a parabola and fell into the bare crown of the big tree. After colliding with the branches several times, it fell back to the soft snow surface. The crown shook because of the collision just now, and in the shaking, in addition to the snow accumulated on the branches falling, white mist suddenly emerged in the snow.
"Is this the original appearance of this tree hole? Is that egg going to travel through time?"
Xi Wei said in a low voice.
The dragon egg was wrapped in white mist, so the picture also became a white expanse and even a bit dazzling. But the mist soon dissipated, and the egg was still under that ancient big tree. It's just that the tree looked more upright at this time, and the crown was lush and leafy.
The surroundings were no longer the heavy snowy winter, but the forest land in the vibrant midsummer season.
The egg lay there alone, and the time on the side changed to 1457, which was 22 years before the second year 1479 corresponding to the tree hole.
After several days and nights of rapid changes, footsteps came, and a young man holding a cane and wearing long boots parted the grass and passed by here. In an inadvertent glance, he saw the half-meter-high giant egg.
"Time Stop!"
Unlike Xia De pointed at the picture, and the spell was successful. The floating light and shadow actually solidified. He heard a small complaint from someone, so Unlike Xia De pretended not to hear it, but asked everyone:
"Does anyone recognize this face? It looks like this is a Northern face."
In the solidified picture was the front face of the young man. The witches all shook their heads. Four hundred years ago, cameras had not appeared, and oil paintings would inevitably be distorted even if they were preserved, not to mention that not everyone could leave oil paintings, so no one recognized who this was.
"It looks very similar to the face in an oil painting at my uncle's house."
Only Ajelina said so, but she was not very sure either.
Unlike Xia De released the arcana and let the picture continue to flow, and found that the young man who discovered the giant egg was startled, ran into the grass again, and after seeing that the egg did not move, he walked over carefully.
He seemed quite interested in this egg. After touching it and tapping it a few times, although he was startled again after finding that the egg would shake gently, he did not run away immediately this time, but studied it for a while before leaving.
Time accelerated, and when the light in the light and shadow came from noon to afternoon, the young man who left came back pushing a wheelbarrow commonly used by porters with great effort. It took him a long time to successfully load the egg into the cart, and then pushed the egg away from here.
The picture continued to move with the egg, and the egg was transported by him to a small house in the forest. The small house didn't look like a hunter's resting place, but more like a temporary vacation place built by rich people in the forest.
The egg continued to shake, trying to move towards the fireplace. After a laborious "communication" with the egg, the man put it there.
It was another hard work to light the fireplace, and when the flames began to lick the eggshell, the egg finally stopped trembling. The flames seemed to be absorbed by it and slowly injected into the egg. The man who was very curious about this guarded by the fire for a whole night.
When the dawn of the second day came, the originally fragile skin of the egg had recovered to a thick appearance.
After this, time accelerated forward again. The man couldn't stay here all the time. He disappeared one day and didn't appear the next day, leaving only the lonely egg lying in the fireplace ash.
But when autumn came that year, the man in hunting clothes pushed open the door of the small wooden house again. He was pleasantly surprised to see that the egg was still here, so he lit the stove fire again, and after going out to hunt, he sat in front of the fireplace that night, eating prey while complaining about his life to the egg.
Because the flow of time was very fast, the speed of his speech was also astonishingly fast, but at least everyone at the table had a mid-ring level except Ajelina, so the people at the table also heard that he was indeed a member of the Kindel family.
At this time, the Kindel family had already bred a generation in Creekwood Town, so the young man was born in Creekwood Town and did not understand his distant Northern hometown.
Time continued to run forward. From 1457, the man would live alone in the forest for a period of time every spring and autumn. Even in 1459, he temporarily hid the dragon egg, and then found workers from the town to renovate the small house, adding a stove that could burn for a period of time even if the owner was away for a long time.
Because the dragon egg was carefully taken care of, it actually showed signs of being about to hatch in the fifth year after being picked up by the man, which was almost impossible in the eyes of Grandma Cassandra who was familiar with alien creatures:
"The egg was so severely damaged in the early stage, theoretically it should not have the possibility of hatching... Maybe it's really a miracle."
But the egg that seemed to be about to hatch from 1462 never really hatched. Year after year, time flashed rapidly in the light and shadow, and the appearance of the dragon egg no longer changed, but the man became older and older.
In the eyes of the people in the banquet hall, time only passed five minutes, but the young man had turned into a middle-aged man. He still maintained the habit of entering the forest every spring and autumn, and had long been accustomed to taking care of the egg and complaining about his troubles to it.
The accelerated time finally stopped again in 1479. At this time, 22 years had passed since the dragon egg was picked up by the man, 1252 years had passed since the dragon egg itself first appeared in the heavy winter, and 1252 years had passed since it first appeared in the heavy winter.
This spring, the man who already showed signs of aging came to the forest alone as usual. On the third night he came here, the cracking sound woke him from his sleep.
He woke up from the bed in the wooden house and walked to the fireplace where the sound came from, and saw cracks appearing on the violently trembling dragon egg.
The surprised man subconsciously wanted to retreat, but immediately walked up again:
"Do you need my help?"
He asked. Over the years, he had mastered the ability to judge the other party's meaning by the shaking range of the dragon egg. After confirming that the egg did not need help, he sat in front of the fireplace with his clothes on, and then continuously threw charcoal and firewood into the fireplace, making the fireplace flames more vigorous.
He waited with expectation, just like the night he picked up the egg back then. It's just that he was no longer young, and soon fell asleep in the firelight.
At dawn that day, as the small claws tore the eggshell, the pitch-black "little dragon" was finally born into this world in a true sense.
In the light and shadow, the dragon beast that crawled out of the eggshell was not as deformed as Unlike Xia De imagined. Although it couldn't be called very good-looking, at least it didn't look ugly from a human aesthetic perspective, belonging to the level of ordinary street cats and dogs.
The hatched black dragon beast was still covered in mucus, and it fell into the fire. The awakened man was so frightened that he hurriedly went to get fire tongs wanting to save it, but found that it was not injured in the fire.
The wings close to its back finally tried to spread out, and then it flew up swaying, and then crashed into the man's arms. The man hugged the little guy who was born in surprise:
"I knew you would definitely be able to hatch, look at your appearance now... I want to give you a name, how about Kingsley? Kingsley Kindel! My eldest son who died young had this name, but you will definitely be able to grow up strong!"
"Oh~"
Ajelina at the table looked at this scene and sighed in a low voice:
"At least up to here, this is really a beautiful story... But thinking about the crazy and disgusting thing this little dragon will eventually become..."
Then she didn't dare to continue, because the witches at the table all looked at her. Everyone certainly knew the ending, but no one wanted to hear Ajelina say it again at this time.
The appearance of the hatched dragon beast was very similar to a real young dragon. The bloodline it inherited from the other parent was not obvious. The man was just an ordinary person, but he also understood that this thing might be a dragon, so he prepared fresh meat and fruits for "Kingsley" to fill the little guy's stomach. **Chapter 2849: Dragon and Demon**
