"Hmm... all the dragons are here. Gordon, Allen, Alicia, Koraman, and Abel... Abel? What's going on with you? Why are you filthy all over? And why do you smell of so many strange things?"
Xiluo watched the dragons before him. With a twitch of his nose, he caught all sorts of strange odors coming from Abel.
"Xiluo, while you were away these past few days, Abel built an area nearby for raising magical beasts.
"He even had us go out and catch magical beasts with him.
"After that, he lived with those magical beasts every day, so naturally the smell grew stronger."
The young she-dragon explained.
Koraman nodded in agreement beside her.
"That idiot Abel seems to have changed a lot after I beat him and Xiluo gave him a lecture.
"Could he be planning to take up beast taming to keep himself safe?"
"Relying on those useless monsters? Hmph! What a loser!"
The red dragon whelp frowned in contempt at this.
"Don't say that about Abel... He's working hard now, too..."
The little white dragon quietly defended the blue dragon wyrmling.
"Hmph! A bunch of mediocrities! You don't understand what I want at all!"
Faced with the dragons' mockery, the blue dragon wyrmling offered no explanation. Instead, he wore an arrogant smile and mocked them back.
His attitude left Xiluo rather taken aback.
Raising magical beasts? Is this fellow really planning to take up beast taming?
Has that part of his dragon inheritance awakened?
But... aside from the Titan Ape that died long ago, what powerful monsters are there anywhere near Niro City?
Xiluo's expression turned odd. His nose twitched a few more times, picking up another strange smell.
His expression grew even stranger.
This smell... seems rather similar to the scent left after Alice and I finished...
