Chapter 182

Sylvan suggested, "Now that the eggs have been laid, you can start incubating them. The fresher the Demon Bird, the healthier the chicks will hatch."

Xie Juanhan was already prepared. "Okay, let's try it out in the next couple of days."

Before hatching the bird eggs, Xie Juanhan asked his friends to bless the Demon Bird.

Needless to say, Sylvan was just a matter of casually casting an Elf blessing.

And there were Flower Elf, Pixie, and the giant Kuitifulong—

Even the Water Demon that occasionally came out to bask in the sun were Xie Juanhan to cast Blessing Magic on the Demon Bird.

With the blessings of all races, these Demon Bird appeared increasingly healthy and vibrant.

There are a total of ninety-two healthy Demon Bird this year.

These plump Demon Bird eggs were piled on the straw, taking up a large area.

Just as Xie Juanhan and Telingewei were preparing to begin this year's egg-hatching plan, the Demon Bird suddenly started fighting.

To be precise, it was all the female Demon Bird in the Demon Bird pecking at the single male Demon Bird.

All the female Demon Bird drove the male Demon Bird into the rice paddy to incubate its eggs.

The male Demon Bird was chased all over the world until it darted into a rice paddy.

"Coo--Coo--" The male Demon Bird paced back and forth beside the Demon Bird, spreading its wings in an attempt to incubate it.

Unfortunately, there were simply too many Demon Bird. Even if the male Demon Bird lay prostrate on top of the Demon Bird, it would only cover a small portion of Demon Bird.

The female Demon Bird watched from the sidelines.

According to the biological nature of the Tuonai'er Demon Bird, the female Demon Bird do not incubate the eggs at all, leaving it entirely to the male Demon Bird.

Unfortunately, this male Demon Bird had too many offspring, and it couldn't hatch them all.

The presence of the male Demon Bird triggered the biological instincts of the female Demon Bird.

Even if it can't incubate that many eggs, the mother Demon Bird won't let it leave; they'll peck at it whenever it tries to escape.

The male Demon Bird grew weaker and weaker day by day, and gradually it was about to die.

On a cold day in late autumn, nearing winter.

Xie Juanhan's family had another meal of stewed Tuonai'er Demon Bird in an iron pot.

After stewing the male Demon Bird, Xie Juanhan and the others took over incubating the eggs.

There are just too many Demon Bird this year.

Even if Harper and the others actively incubated the eggs, they still couldn't hatch them all.

The two dragons had no choice but to take matters into their own hands, transforming back into their dragon forms to take turns incubating the eggs.

And so, the two dragons stayed at home and slowly incubated their eggs, welcoming the changing of the seasons.

Chapter 182 [VIP]

"Chirp chirp."

The Magic Wand Tree's deep voice rang out, acting as a doorbell to signal the arrival of guests.

The study was covered with a soft, thick carpet, on which lay a pile of smooth, round Tuonai'er Demon Bird.

There were also many mats placed between the bird eggs to prevent them from bumping into each other.

Some of these mats were new mats sewn by the Weaving Fairies, while others were old mats belonging to Harper and the others.

Harper and the others gave up all their little mats so that they could better hatch the Demon Bird.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei also contributed pillows and small blankets.

At this moment, the fireplace in the study was burning brightly, and the White Dragon was coiled up, sleeping on the Demon Bird.

The furry creatures nestled beside him, also sleeping on the Demon Bird.

They even used a mat to cushion them because they found it uncomfortable, and now they're fast asleep, belly up.

As soon as the Magic Wand Tree spoke, the White Dragon opened its eyes and moved slightly.

The furry creatures opened their eyes and looked at the White Dragon with confusion.

The White Dragon lazily raised the tip of its tail and poked Habi, who was closest to it. "Go check what's going on?"

Habi got poked and fell flat on his backside.

It didn't care at all, climbed up on the cushion, and loudly responded, "Chirp!"

After responding, it tried to run out the door.

The other furry creatures quickly followed suit, chirping, "Chirp!"

In the blink of an eye, only White Dragon and Yi Long remained in the study.

"Chirp!"

"Oh, it's you all? Isn't Lord White Dragon home?"

"Chirp, chirp chirp."

"Incubating eggs? I just happened to bring the eggs of the Tuonai'er Demon Bird."

"Chirp?"

"Yes, that's it. Our priest said that when it hatches, it will give birth to a strong male chick."

"Huh?"

"This is the best Tuonai'er Demon Bird Elf elves have found this year. The other Demon Bird aren't very good, so we didn't send them to you."

Sylvan's soft voice echoed outside the yard as he explained things to the furry creatures, word by word.

After listening for a while, the White Dragon raised the tip of its tail and poked open the window. "Sylvan? You brought bird eggs? Just come in."

Sylvan received permission to walk through the path in the yard toward her study.

When he gently knocked on the door and pushed it open, he discovered that Xie Juanhan's study had been completely transformed.

The original desk and potted plants were gone, leaving only a thick carpet, soft cushions, and bird eggs scattered all over the floor.

A beautiful White Dragon coiled above it, its eyelashes snow-white, its scales translucent, and its body graceful.

Like Elf.

Sylvan held his breath and thought.

Not just their kind of Elf, but in a broader sense, Elf formed from the Goblin.

"Good afternoon." The White Dragon flicked the tip of its tail and greeted them lazily.

"Good afternoon." Sylvan, carrying a basket, composed himself. "I've brought over some bird eggs."

The White Dragon had already seen the plump bird egg in his basket, which was placed securely in the middle of the cushion.

"You found some new bird eggs? They look really nice."

"Yes." Sylvan carefully held out the bird egg for him to see. "We found it just two days ago, on Sailor's Day, when our priest blessed it."

The White Dragon stared at the Demon Bird: "This egg is really beautiful."

"Our priest said the same thing. Although they can't compare to the eggs laid by your mother bird, they are still quite rare outside."

When the White Dragon looked, all the furry creatures gathered around, close to Sylvan, wanting to take another look at the bird egg in his hand.

Sylvan patiently let them see.

The White Dragon glanced at the sky and said to the furry creatures, "Take the Demon Bird to Moli and have it ask the Golden-Horned Deer to bless the egg tonight."

Harper's eyes lit up. "Chirp?"

White Dragon: "Yes, everyone please give your blessings, then we can add this egg to the hatching process."

Harper immediately grabbed the basket handle with her mouth. "Chirp!"

White Dragon instructed, "Be careful not to drop it, and don't damage the basket's insulation magic."

"Awooo!" Harper and the others wagged their tails and dashed off.

The White Dragon watched their figures disappear outside the door and heard the giant eagle's "cooing" sound.

The giant eagle that carried Sylvan was clearly waiting outside. After meeting up with the furry creatures, they all ran out into the fields.

The White Dragon swam around on the egg, shifting its position. "Telingewei has gone to Teme Port. I can't leave these eggs, so this is the only way I can entertain you. I'm sorry."

"It's alright." Sylvan grabbed a cushion and sat down on the study floor. "It's quite pleasant to talk like this, especially comfortable."

They spoke in a very relaxed manner, but the content of their conversation was anything but lighthearted.

Xie Juanhan and Telingewei had previously entrusted the contents of the massive magic circle on the Kaonielin Plain to Sylvan for study.

Sylvan conducted his research for some time and achieved initial results.

Sylvan turned serious. "To put it simply, if that magic circle can be successfully repaired, it might be able to be put back into use in a few decades."

White Dragon perked up and straightened his head. "Could you explain in more detail?"

Sylvan took out a large stack of papers filled with calculation formulas from his spatial ring. "Take a look at this."

"I've researched a lot of materials, but the corresponding magic circle has been lost. However, based on the available data, I've been able to deduce the original design of the magic circle."

White Dragon looked down at the manuscript papers.

Since claws weren't suitable for turning the pages, he manipulated the wind to flip through the sheets of paper.

He flipped through the pages while doing mental arithmetic, and as he flipped through them, his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Sylvan, you're a genius!"

"Because of the magic circle, it becomes much simpler to work backwards into data. The person who designed this magic circle is a genius."

Sylvan's eyes also shone brightly. He grabbed the manuscript and pointed to several places for White Dragon to see: "Look—"

The White Dragon lowered its head.

"Our original data should have included this part of the magic circle, but it's all gone now," Sylvan said. "It's so thoroughly damaged; I suspect it didn't weather naturally, but rather that energy leaked out during its last use, destroying this part."

White Dragon looked at the original calculation data, then at the pattern, and nodded in agreement.

Sylvan continued, "I translated the data into a pattern, and the complete pattern should look like this. It's not a circle; it should also have a six-pointed star."

White Dragon stared at the pattern. "In other words, the magic circle is only half complete now; the other half needs to be added."

"That's the idea. The core functionality is still there, but the parts about positioning and specific channel construction have disappeared and need to be rebuilt."

Seeing the White Dragon deep in thought, Sylvan for a moment and then said, "However, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Judging from the calculations, the place the dragon who used this magic circle before wanted to go is clearly not the same place you want to go. Even if the magic circle isn't damaged, we'll still need to redesign and rebuild it."

"I understand. The base of this magic circle is still there, which is equivalent to the bridge piers still being there, but the bridge deck on top has disappeared. If I want to go back, we need to build another bridge deck specifically for us."

Setting up the other half of the magic circle is difficult, but it's still much easier than being clueless and stumbling around like a headless fly.
