”This is the dragon egg we’ve jointly adopted,” Nuoletta immediately nodded and said, ”We found many healthy dragon eggs in the ruins of the hatching factory, and the Dragonkin are adopting them in temporary ’families.’ Through ancient incubation methods, these healthy dragon eggs will become the first truly healthy and pure dragons in this world, 1.87 million years...”

”The healthiest young dragons in a million years, facing the harshest environment in Talronde for a million years... They carry a mission, and their future dragon life may not be easy,” Enya said in a calm and gentle tone. ”But I still want to bless them... though now my ’blessing’ doesn’t hold much effect.”

Melita bowed her head and said sincerely, ”Such a ’blessing’ is already very precious.”

”They hope to incubate the dragon egg here,” Gawain said, seeing the opportunity arrive, and inserted, ”The preparations at the embassy will take a while, and they both have just been dispatched here with a heavy workload, likely unable to properly care for the dragon egg—here, we have ready incubation facilities and royal attendants to help care for it, which seems quite suitable to me. Of course, we need your opinion too.”

”I guessed it when I saw the dragon egg,” Enya said with a smile. ”Of course, no problem, I have no objections, and even feel delighted—in caring for dragon eggs and young dragons, I still have some confidence.”

Then she added with a smile: ”And after all, I’m just a ’tenant’ staying here with you, like those two little ones in the shadow realm who refuse to leave—you don’t need to consider our opinions much when arranging your property.”

The remark was clearly just courteous, and Gawain didn’t mind it much. He simply smiled and nodded, his gaze fell on the two Talronde ambassadors: ”So this arrangement is alright with you? The dragon egg can be placed here in the hatching room, with Enya here to help oversee it. It’s definitely more reliable than leaving it with anyone else, and you can come to check on it anytime.”

”To be honest, I really didn’t expect things to develop like this,” Melita couldn’t help but exclaim, then nodded. ”I certainly have no objections, this is much better than we had anticipated.”

”I have no objections either,” Nuoletta nodded along, then couldn’t help but rub her temples. ”Speaking of which, it’s truly incredible... I’m still wondering if I might be trapped in an illusionary realm... Reporting this to Speaker Andar or Leader Heragor, they would likely be quite shocked.”

”I quite look forward to seeing them shocked, especially Heragor,” Enya immediately spoke with a smile. ”He’s been by my side for over a million years, holding a straight face for over a million years, even when I deliberately tried to scare him, he’d just be fearfully respectful while still keeping a straight face... I’m quite curious to see what he looks like when he’s startled.”

Melita & Nuoletta: ”...”

They were already quickly considering whether Enya’s words just now could also be reported...

Thus, the arrangement for the dragon egg was settled, and the atmosphere in the hatching room finally relaxed. Afterward, the two Talronde ambassadors talked to their God of Yore about many things, including memories, present situations, and even the vision for the future—most of the time it was just Melita or Nuoletta speaking, while Enya quietly listened, just as she had done for over a million years as a deity: listening, and maintaining silence.

But this time, the listening finally became less piercingly painful.

And throughout the process, whether Melita and Nuoletta or Enya herself, they deliberately avoided the topic of that final battle.

As the sun set, the two Talronde ambassadors finally departed, leaving Gawain and Enya alone in the hatching room, but this time, there was also a dragon egg glowing softly under the lights.

”Later I’ll arrange for another base, right next to you,” Gawain said as he looked at the dragon egg. ”It’ll be more stable on a base; otherwise, I keep feeling it might roll around...”

The golden giant egg gave no response, as Enya seemed lost in thought, maintaining silence after Gawain’s words faded.

”Enya?” Gawain looked curiously at the golden giant egg. ”What are you thinking about? Still pondering on Talronde’s matters?”

”Gawain, my friend,” After two more seconds, Enya finally spoke, her tone unexpectedly serious and earnest. ”Do you have experience in caring for the young?”
