Adrian did not get carried by the anger of a goddess because he knows why she is that desperate. The only reason why a job class called the Mother of Dragons being created is due to one fact. The dragons are not hatching or are not getting fertile.
Dragons are already a race that are difficult to lay eggs as it is said that only one hatches every century. Some eggs do not even hatch and just turn into stone from the passage of time. This is the reason why the proud dragon race shuts away from their territories as they will not be able to handle other races if they antagonize them.
"Do you really need me to say why that is the case? I bet you already know that a longer a dragon does not hatch then the smaller their chances of not hatching ever. You need an emissary to help you hatch them hence the Mother of Dragons." Adrian stated in a confident manner.
Adrian was already listening in on their conversation when Kanlaon suddenly told him that she is in front of a strange girl that smell like a dragon but is not a dragon. Adrian was also informed that the female voice bugging Kanlaon has returned and is telling him to give his master's dragon egg to that girl.
When Adrian said his piece, the Goddess Tiamat suddenly fell silent because what Adrian said was true. The dragons have become weaker, and they need her presence to make them more powerful once more. Adrian does not want to make this difficult for the Goddess Tiamat as she is somewhat a subordinate of the Goddess Gaea which is why she can descend here in Avalon.
"You should also want vengeance against the angels." Adrian suddenly stated to get the Goddess Tiamat's attention.
"Why is that?" The Goddess Tiamat asked.
"The angels are the reason why the Dragon of Revelation suddenly got unsealed. Their machinations are the reason why younger dragons cannot be hatched. The Dragon of Revelation needed much energy to momentarily surface but dragon eggs need that energy as well to hatch. If I am not wrong, then the dragon eggs that should have hatched all turned into stone." Adrian stated but some of what he said are just rough guesses that actually turned to be correct.
When the Goddess Tiamat heard Adrian's statements, she erupted into anger because her precious dragons did not hatch because of the Dragon of Revelation. Dragons need a special kind of energy to hatch which they call the Arcana. This is the purest form of mana that is chaotic in nature but helpful for dragons.
When the Dragon of Revelation was unsealed, the first thing it did was suck as much of this Arcana in the atmosphere. Since the Arcana thinned, the dragon eggs that are supposed to hatch a few years later suddenly slowly turned to stone. Some eggs were protected but was basically kept on life support.
Only the touch of the Goddess Tiamat will be able to restore these eggs back to health. She begged the Twin Gods to give her access to Genesis in order to find a suitable host for her. A perfect host for her can only be female and that she was nurtured with her energy from the start. She managed to obtain that when she met Basil, but the latter must complete the metamorphosis by herself.
The Goddess Tiamat could be seen pondering but Adrian could feel that she will definitely agree. Adrian knows that a person like her will want justice for the 'children' that she spoke of. Adrian just wants them to be borrow for a day but that will also make dragons be an enemy to the angels.
"I shall agree to your terms, Champion Equinox. I shall send word to one of my children and that child will speak to you about the terms. In exchange for the dragon egg that you hold, you will have authority over a dragon king and those below them for one day." The Goddess Tiamat stated as the very existence of the dragons' rests on Basil's hands.
[You have entered a Covenant with the Goddess Tiamat.]
[Should one break the pact then they will be dealt with great punishment.]
Two notifications appeared before Adrian as a dragon tattoo suddenly appeared on Adrian's palm. The dragon tattoo is none other than the symbol that he made an agreement with the Goddess Tiamat. It also serves as the crest that symbols that his authority was given by the Goddess Tiamat herself.
"As per our agreement, I shall give this Lightning Dragon Egg to Basil which means my end of the covenant has been finished." Adrian stated as he took out the dragon egg from his inventory and gave it to Basil.
The Goddess Tiamat looked at the Lightning Dragon Egg and could see that it is still full of vitality. The dragon egg is not hatching because Adrian did not have an intention of hatching it because he already has Kanlaon. He intended to sell it to the highest bidder later but using it as a bargaining chip against a goddess is also priceless.
Plus, Basil is Pann's disciple and that means that she is involuntary a citizen of Adrian's territory. He is just giving his own citizen a reward that can make them stronger. In the end, Adrian thought that everything will benefit him in the long run which is why he does not feel bitter parting with a dragon egg.
"Thank you very much. I will make sure to repay your grace. I know, I shall pledge my allegiance to Avalon forever!" Basil announced to which the Goddess Tiamat frowned a bit, but she must not become like the Goddess of Light Luminaria that holds her creations by the neck. She wants all her children to exercise free will as that is how powerful dragons become kings. She also does not mind that Basil wants to stay in Avalon as keeping close ties with the Twin Gods is also a good choice.
