At Green Capital Garden Cold Spring Point, a reaction occurred between that cowlick and this Warm Land.
Harpy Dragon Harpe finally confirmed that the cowlick had been left behind by her ancestor.
"It really contains a harpy's insights into life and death?" Russell asked in delight. He had thought the cowlick might help Harpe advance, but he had never expected it to contain a harpy's insights into life and death.
"Yes, Russell."
"In other words, Harpe, if you digest these insights into life and death, you might see through the mystery of life and death and then advance into a pseudo-dragon?"
"That is only a possibility. I cannot guarantee it," Harpe said in his mind. "And I need time to digest these insights. Russell, I intend to remain in Green Capital Snow Forest for a while."
"Alright!" Russell agreed at once. "We absolutely cannot miss this opportunity. I do not have much to do during this time anyway, so I'll stay with you in Green Capital Snow Forest."
Harpe did not refuse.
Unicorn Polly, who had transformed into the Lord of Thunder Mark, quietly said in his mind, "Congratulations, Russell. You'll soon become a Rank 2 Dragon Domain Lord."
"More precisely, a Rank 2 High Dragon Domain Lord." Russell replied with a smile. Rank 1 was Phantom Beast Knight, while Rank 2 was High Phantom Beast Knight. Naturally, once a Dragon Domain Lord reached Rank 2, he should be called a Rank 2 High Dragon Domain Lord.
Harpe had already flown up to a snow cedar tree with the cowlick in her mouth, quietly experiencing the insights into life and death contained within it.
Russell, meanwhile, prepared to build a house here.
There was no telling how long Harpe would need to comprehend it, and he would be coming here
