Chapter 0007: The Red Dragon Egg

I don't know. "Murray shook his head honestly.

The pleasant aroma of the mixed incense dispelled the sulfurous smell around Muria, bringing him a sense of peace. The familiar scent completely calmed him down; it was a unique fragrance of the golden dragon, which could also be described as its body scent

Muriya, how many hours do you sleep in a day now

"It is stronger than an ordinary golden dragon, but it is utterly meaningless." Atreus paced back and forth in some agitation before stopping in front of Mureya, "You need not worry, I will definitely find a way to compensate for the flaws in your bloodline."

Grandfather! Muriya was momentarily lost in thought, his face slightly flushed, as if an invisible large hand were "slapping" his chubby little face.

Then, let me transform into the form you are familiar with. The breathtakingly beautiful blonde girl vanished, and in her place appeared a majestic golden dragon, shimmering with golden light, arrogantly trampling on the bodies of two red dragons.

"Golden Blazing Sun!" Mureya exclaimed, "Is this my mother's title? It has quite a commanding presence."

"Truly deserving of the title 'Golden Blazing Sun', Lord Atreus is indeed formidable in strength," exclaimed the head maid Sophia, recovering first and expressing her admiration. "To capture two red dragons at once, what an extraordinary power!"

Between the twin horns atop the head of a red dragon, which is relatively smaller than another larger red dragon, stands a breathtakingly beautiful young girl with golden hair and golden eyes, dressed in a magnificent golden wizard's robe

Apart from his eyes, his body and his senses all conveyed to Muriya that the golden-haired girl standing between the crimson dragon horns was none other than his mother in this life, the legendary golden dragon, Atris Elonsas

My hatchling period is 10 years

Ah, by the way, it has been so long since your birth, and I have yet to give you anything. Now, let me present you with a gift!" Atreus, who had just been troubled by the issue of the Muria bloodline, quickly shifted the topic, leaving Muria no time to react.

By the way, the dragon egg is something I specifically brought back for you to take care of, so please do not eat it. Finally, leaving behind a reminder that made Mureya feel quite distressed, the Golden Dragon Lady vanished into thin air in the hall

"What a hot potato!" Muria exclaimed, then turned to look at Sophia and the four dragonborn maids who had hurried into the castle hall.

"Indeed, however, considering your current condition, you have not fully inherited my ancestral true dragon bloodline," Atris said, furrowing his brow as he observed Mureya. "I only began to experience your current situation in the eighth year after my birth, which allowed for some slight movement."

Murya found it somewhat incomprehensible why Jinlongniang would think he would feel happy. This is not just any egg, but a dragon egg. The nature of this is akin to a human mother gifting several snake eggs to her child who has not yet weaned.

Murray remained silent, making a wordless protest through his actions, yet Jinlongniang completely ignored it

It is too big. This is Murray's response

I see, it seems you have not completely emerged from the hatchling stage yet. But it will be soon," Atris said with a frown. However, even in dragon form, Muria could still perceive the concern on Atris's dragon face.

However, it is unfortunate that these two wretched-looking red dragons only captured the attention of Mureya for a brief moment, as there were other presences in the hall that were even more striking than that of the red dragons

"There are so many demands," muttered Atreus, but he still reduced his size, transforming into a "mini" golden dragon measuring ten meters in length

"Let's start reading now? Hmm, that's a good habit, make sure to keep it up." The attention of the Golden Dragon Lady Atreus was focused on the fact that Mureya was reading, completely disregarding everything else. It was evident that Mureya's current act of reading pleased the Golden Dragon Lady, but that did not serve as a reason to prevent her from wanting to sleep.

"Hmm, it seems you are quite satisfied," said Jin Longniang, looking at her child's expressionless face. She nodded to herself and made a domineering decision, "Then, these few red dragon eggs will be yours to raise."

How? The enormous golden dragon, nearly one hundred meters in length, lowered its head and leaned towards Muraya.

I am not worried at all! Muria thought to himself, but wisely chose not to voice it.

Upon hearing this question, Mureya fell silent for a moment. He had always felt that the size of the Golden Dragon Lady was beyond the standard, even larger than that of an ordinary ancient golden dragon. After consulting the library materials on the Golden Dragon Lady, he became even more certain of this.

Although her figure was quite small compared to the red dragon beneath her feet, in the perception of Mureya, her presence was as magnificent and grand as the midday sun, radiating brilliance and impossible to overlook

"Dimos!" The Golden Dragon Lady, who was already turning to leave, glanced back at Muriya, making him feel a chill run down his spine. "That is my father; you should refer to him as your grandfather."

Therefore, Muria's grandfather was not boasting; he truly confronted a legendary Balrog during his adulthood and drove it back to the abyss. It was Muria's judgment that was mistaken, and he was harshly confronted by the facts.

"No, it's nothing." Mureya lowered her head somewhat awkwardly, "I just saw this name that is the same as my surname while reading a few days ago, so I was a bit curious."

"That is an ordinary golden dragon! Do you think I am an ordinary golden dragon?" Atreus retorted

Ancestral Golden Dragon?" Muraya murmured to himself, feeling a sense of awe and confusion. He did not understand what the Ancestral Dragon was, nor what the Dragon King represented, but he knew from the names alone that they were formidable, and that was sufficient.

"Any door, or teleportation?" Mureya ignored the admonition of the Golden Dragon Lady, stroking his chin as he speculated on the means by which she had vanished into thin air. However, he did not ponder for long before directing his attention to the six red dragon eggs beneath his feet

Ah, Mother, I..." Muriya was stunned, and it was only now that he reacted, reluctantly accepting the fact that the breathtaking golden-eyed girl before him was indeed his mother. After all, in his memory, the Golden Dragon Lady had always been a massive beast.

What is there to be surprised about? I am a direct descendant of the Dragon King, a golden dragon with bloodlines that are infinitely close to his. It is only natural to possess such strength. For some reason, Atris greatly enjoyed the look of shock on her son's face.

"Wait a moment." Suddenly, Muria remembered something, "Mother, do you know of an ancient golden dragon called Dimos?"

Do you know which growth stage of the dragon I am currently in

Murray stared in astonishment at the two red dragons in the hall, tightly bound by golden chains that flickered with intense magical energy; this scene was magnificent, something that most beings would never witness even once in their lifetime

In fact, at this moment, Muria began to doubt his mother's race; such a thing is not something a lawful good aligned gold dragon would do, but rather something that a quirky and playful brass dragon could accomplish

"Ten years." Mu Ruiya looked bewildered, "Isn't the hatching period of the Golden Dragon five years? How could it possibly be ten years?"

"Indeed, little Muriya, are you happy?" said Atreus with a smile.

No. After serious consideration, Muria provided the answer

Even so, my true dragon bloodline is still stronger than that of an ordinary golden dragon! Muraya felt a bit regretful about what the golden dragon mother said regarding not fully inheriting the bloodline, but it was not something he was particularly concerned about; he was already very satisfied with his current bloodline.

I entered adulthood twenty years ago

"What kind of joke is this?" Muria exclaimed in disbelief, for the Golden Dragon Lady was a legendary golden dragon, yet she had only just reached adulthood. (Twenty years is a brief period for dragons)

"Hmm, Muria, are you so surprised to see my human form?" Atris looked at the astonished expression lingering on Muria's face, then glanced down at his own appearance, followed by a dazzling flash of golden light.

"Oh, Muria, you are awake now, a bit earlier than I expected," said the blonde girl, who first frowned upon seeing the giant infant-like Muria, then spoke with a smile. Her voice was as warm and gentle as Muria remembered, reminiscent of an elegant noble lady.

His grandfather, as an ancient dragon possessing a legendary golden dragon daughter with extraordinary strength in her adulthood, clearly indicates that at the same age, the father could not be weaker than the daughter

Of course, the most crucial factor is the familiar aura emanating from this blonde girl, which is the true reason that leaves Muriya utterly astonished

Dimos Alonsas, his grandfather, had recently mocked him mercilessly, but he never expected that this dragon was actually his direct relative, and an elder at that

"Hah!" The Golden Dragon Lady opened her mouth and blew a big puff of breath towards her child, a strong and intense mixture of fragrant incense rushing into Mu Ruya's nostrils. "If there is nothing else, I will go to sleep now"

Honestly, due to the influence of his past life, Muria prefers the human girl form he just encountered, which is in stark contrast to his large and imposing dragon form, but he cannot express this now

At this moment, Muria had completely come to believe that his golden dragon was merely just coming of age, for such a capricious and unreliable character was entirely uncharacteristic of an ancient golden dragon that had endured the long passage of time and become rigid and erudite

"Is there a problem? Mother," Muria asked in confusion

Approximately sixteen hours

What do you ask this for

However, if Atreus is an ancient dragon, then he should not exist, as ancient dragons typically lack reproductive capabilities. His existence can only indicate one thing: Atreus is not an ancient dragon

"It came a bit late." Mureya looked at the five maids, whose faces turned extremely shocked upon seeing the two red dragons. For some reason, his mood improved. After all, this was the glorious achievement of his mother, and as her son, he shared in that honor.

Is this the gift you have given me? Muria once again stared in astonishment at the six towering red giant eggs, each enveloped in rich fire elements, standing about the height of a person, as a myriad of thoughts raced through her mind.
