Despite the magnitude of the island, it didn’t function as a habitat for Giant Dragons. Instead, it was utilized to breed a considerable number of livestock, including cows, sheep, and horses. The Giant Dragons only graced the main island during their feeding time. To put it bluntly, the main island was effectively a dining table for the dragons.

More than eighty Giant Dragons were all inhabiting one of the affiliated Vortex Islands.

About a few dozen kilometers east of Dragon Island, a few islands soared above the sea surface like stone pillars, reaching a height of hundreds of meters. The seawater flowing through this carried powerful currents that generated countless whirlpools and undercurrents. Thus, even the most advanced of vessels failed to approach these islands from the sea.

The Giant Dragons resided on Vortex Island, situated in the midst of these islands.

One could find numerous colossal caves on the island. Regardless of the dragon’s size, they could directly fly in and out. Among these caves, unquestionably, the ones with the best environment were the dragon egg incubation rooms.

A constant guard of more than five massive dragons kept a tight watch on the incubating eggs day and night. Additionally, around ten or so dragons were readily available in nearby caves for relief. Despite the massive exodus this time, Brooks had only taken around sixty dragons with him, leaving behind over twenty to guard the area.

The conditions for hatching a dragon egg were extremely stringent and required constant temperature control, dry surroundings, and abundant elements, along with frequent turning. Although this may sound easy, the entire process spans over five hundred years.

Each dragon egg required a specific temperature. For instance, a Red Dragon egg needed to maintain a temperature of approximately eighty degrees. Any other dragon’s egg would have hatched long ago under such high temperature.

Maintaining a constant temperature for five hundred years, carefully turning the eggs, supplementing elements periodically, such as spitting or spraying Dragon Breath near the eggs, were methods by which the eggs could become abundantly enriched by elements.

However, five hundred years is an extremely long period. Any negligence during this period could lead to the eggs spoiling.

If the egg spoils in the latter stage, the cause can be discerned. However, if it spoils in the initial stage when the Juvenile Dragon inside hasn’t yet developed enough to communicate, it’s tough to ascertain the reason.

For these reasons, it’s critical to have a minimum of five Giant Dragons guarding the incubation room at all times, with many more readily available for backup to ensure the incubation room’s safety.

However, under the vigilant watch of twenty Giant Dragons, two eggs from the incubation room had disappeared.

“The dragon eggs! The eggs from our house and the Clan Leader’s house are missing! There’s a thief. Wake up and catch the thief!” The resounding roar of a sleek, golden dragon echoed throughout Vortex Island.

The dragons on Vortex Island were driven into a frenzy. Who would dare steal from Dragon Island? More importantly, who had the audacity to steal dragon eggs? Seek the thief out, find him and his fate will be sealed in our jaws!

“We lost two dragon eggs: one from our house, another from the Baihou family, also known as White Neck. Both were choked eggs. I had seen them half an hour ago, which means the thief hasn’t gone far. Search for him. Even if we have to turn our island upside down, we have to find him!”, The Golden Dragon roared.

At that moment, a voice resonated in all the dragons’ minds: “No need to search anymore. I took the dragon eggs. I found a potential method that could save the choked eggs and decided to give it a try. I knew our family’s dragoness would disapprove, so I decided to steal them first.”

“I stole one from the White Neck family too. White Neck passed away early. If the egg can be saved, their lineage may continue. Also, Naeli Grandmother did not die. She came back to life. Also, don’t tell any other dragon descendants. I suspect we have a mole.”

As the dragons heard this, their eyes grew wider with disbelief, particularly at the mention of Naeli’s resurrection, which was beyond comprehension.

Naeli was revered as a venerable ancestor among the Dragon Clan. She lived to be ten thousand years old, which was every dragon’s dream. She didn’t live just her life in full, she even revived! What happened?

“Brooks! Get back here! You knew I would object, yet you dared to steal my child! Come back or I’ll break your wings!” The Golden Dragon’s roar thundered throughout the island, akin to a rolling storm.

But Brooks couldn’t hear any of it. He soared into the stratosphere where the air was thin, with maximum speed. He cast a protection spell on himself and then accelerated frantically.

The ultra-high speed led to friction between his protective shield and the thin air, creating a white-hot appearance. In the high altitude, he appeared like a shooting star. After some time, the first layer of the shielding shattered, and the friction against the second layer started, once again causing it to turn white-hot. It gave the trajectory a flickering effect.

That night, many people saw the fluctuating trajectory. Those oblivious of the reality pointed at the sky, exclaiming, “Look, a shooting star.”

However, those in the know were so frightened that they sat on the ground mumbling, “A truth seeker! My God, what major event has occurred? Just a few days back, I heard of the appearance of an Archmage. And now, there is another truth seeker. Are turbulent times upon us?”

Gailard also saw the flickering meteor in the high sky. Furrowing his brows, he murmured, “Brooks? A passing comet. What is he up to this time?”

Kael’danil asked perplexedly, “Yet another dragon? What is happening with them? Do you need to intercept them again?”

“No need; other giant dragons can’t catch up to the comet. He is alone; there’s no need to intercept him. Truth seekers are entitled to go wherever they desire,” replied Gailard.

“That’s relief. Your Majesty, should we look for Lord Nage again? The World Tree sapling seems to be a bit off”, said Kael’danil.

Both turned their heads and looked behind.

Next to the enormous World Tree, a sapling that was a hundred-meters tall had emerged. Many Elves were building tree houses, platforms, and rope ladders on it, as well as drying clothes. The scene was filled with untamed excitement.
