Austin's heart was alarmed, nearly jumping in shock. Someone silently approached him, and he hadn't detected anything at all! He suddenly turned his head, not knowing when a figure had appeared beside him. It was a young dragon, a real young dragon. About one meter tall, not considered small in the eyes of an ordinary beastman, but in front of the six or seven meters tall Austin, it was like a human next to a big husky. The young dragon sounded like a little girl, and her whole body was covered in scales that shimmered in the sunlight, like pieces of crystal. A crystal young dragon. No wonder, it was said that crystal dragons have highly innate space talents. No wonder this crystal young dragon could approach him without him noticing at all. Piece by piece, scales like crystal, clear and sparkling. Austin suddenly felt a strong impulse arising from his instincts. To take this crystal young dragon back to his nest and hide her there. Dragons are inherently greedy, especially fond of shiny things. Although Austin's mature soul usually suppresses this instinct, at this moment, seeing that sparkling crystal young dragon, he almost took her back as if she were a piece of crystal. Barely managing to suppress this instinct, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. No wonder metal dragons and crystal dragons had higher status than five-colored dragons when seeking mates. After forming a pair, they could often see gold and silver crystal dazzling before their eyes; who wouldn't like that? Dragons are inherently greedy, sharing a nest, perhaps often drooling over their mate's sparkling scales. That image, unbearable to look at. "Hey, big guy, what are you thinking?" The crystal dragon's clear and sweet voice rang out just in time, interrupting Austin's wayward thoughts. "Ah, nothing, nothing at all." Austin quickly pushed aside the inappropriate images from his mind and came back to his senses. "I always feel like you're thinking of something bad." The crystal dragon looked at Austin with a gaze full of suspicion. "No, definitely not. By the way, little sister, who are you? How did you get here?" "What little sister? Don't fool me, big guy, you definitely aren't much older than me." The crystal dragon girl pouted and stared at Austin, making him feel utterly bewildered. "Avril, big guy you can call me Avril. I saw some lightning and thunder over here, so I came to see if there's anything fun." Upon hearing this, Austin frowned, sensing that things were not so simple. Young dragons are usually watched over by adult dragons. Avril appearing here, does it mean there is an adult dragon's nest nearby? This is not good news. Although crystal dragons are of the lawful good alignment, leaving one's life in others' hands is not a good thing. If careless, encountering an adult dragon with a slightly heavier curiosity. Oh dear, how did this blue young dragon grow so fast, it's intriguing. Let's dissect and take a look. Even if this world doesn't have any methods for slice research, being the subject of study wouldn't be any better. "By the way, big guy, how did you grow so fast? So amazing, uncle Guppa said dragons mastering law powers in their young dragon stage are already very talented. You mastering law at such a young age is simply a talent among talents." These words made Austin shiver internally. That he could master law powers was seen through by the girl before him. Austin's eyes flickered. "I don't know either, seems like I ate something unknowingly before becoming ." For some reason, the crystal dragon girl seemed a bit low. What's this reaction? Could it be like a child wanting to grow up quickly, seeing hope and then being ultimately let down? "Avril, does your family live nearby?" Austin probed. The source of thɪs content is 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵 "No, my home is very far away. Originally, I was going with uncle Guppa to that place with many dragons called Celestial Dragon Island. But halfway, we ran into some good friends, so we took a detour. Uncle Guppa and his friends were talking about some boring things, so I came out by myself." Avril showed no defense, saying it all at once. Indeed, adults visiting with kids and talking about this and that can be quite exhausting for naturally restless children, especially when adults talk for a whole day. "Big guy, where do you live? How about taking me to your place to play?" Just as Austin was about to speak in response to Avril, suddenly, In a sound like tides crashing, space rippled like a mirror shaking, layer after layer of space ripples collapsed inward, and a bald, burly middle-aged man walked out of the space. "Alright, Avril, time is running out, we have to hurry on our way." With a resounding sound, Austin felt as if a realm from above descended, covering the surrounding void. As he remained unsettled, Avril puffed her cheeks and whispered: "Clearly it was uncle Guppa who got sidetracked, and kept babbling for days, don't blame me for missing the time." Though the voice was small, it was naturally impossible to hide it from the bald middle-aged man, who awkwardly touched his nose. "Okay, this time it's uncle Guppa's fault. In the future, if Avril wants uncle Guppa to go east, then uncle Guppa will never dare to go west, how about that?" "Hmm, that's more like it." The bald middle-aged man couldn't help but pat Avril's little head. "Don't touch my head, it won't grow big!" Avril puffed her cheeks. Ignoring her, he looked towards Austin. "Avril, is this your new friend?" "Yeah, yeah, the big guy is really nice." Avril nodded, in her pure understanding, anyone she could converse with favorably was a friend. "Already starting to involve law powers, hmm, little guy, reaching this stage in your juvenile period is very impressive, also a strange sword, huh? You don't have any parents to teach you?" In the bald middle-aged man's gaze, deep as the star river, it seemed to see through multiple spaces, see through everything in the world, and all the secrets of Austin were laid bare before him. This made Austin nearly break into a cold sweat. Fortunately, the biggest secret he seemed unaware of. "No need to be nervous, little guy, you already match the four words 'astonishing talent'; there aren't many geniuses among the Giant Dragon Race, and I naturally won't do anything to you." As he spoke, the bald middle-aged man extended his hand, in a burst of radiant glow appeared a half-transparent dragon claw. Then a certain scale from the dragon claw began to automatically detach, reflecting a deep luminescence. "Little guy, a dragon growing to this stage in such a place is surely have gone through many hardships. Because of a mission, I'm about to leave and can't offer you much help. This scale is my gift to you." With that, the bald middle-aged man handed the translucent scale in his hand to Austin, his gaze full of approval. On Austin, he didn't smell any scent of an adult dragon. Meaning, the little guy achieved his current accomplishments entirely by himself. For such a self-reliant junior, being from the Giant Dragon Race, even if not of the same lineage, the bald middle-aged man wouldn't hesitate to offer some care. If not for the tight mission schedule, he might even have taken him back for a good teaching session.
