Nodding in response, Gerald then replied, “That’s right. My companions and I came from Jaellatra, you see, and since we had no money, I decided to sell the jade charm!”
“…You… Do you not know how precious the jade charm of the green dragon is…?” muttered the confused Prince Severin.
Gerald, for one, honestly had no clue.
Truth be told, was favonovel.com not in dire need of money, favonovel.com wouldn’t have sold off the jade charm. After all, favonovel.com hadn’t even studied it yet. Even so, Prince Severin’s tone alone was enough to tell Gerald how extraordinary a treasure the jade charm actually was…
Now getting increasingly curious, Gerald shook his head before asking, “I’m afraid I’m clueless, Prince Severin. Do enlighten me!”
“…Very well! You see, the jade charm you sold me is the symbol of the green dragon, and the person who owns it will be granted the powers of the green dragon! In case you didn’t know, among the four Divine Beasts, the green dragon is the strongest among them!” explained Severin.
Upon hearing that, the trio instantly found themselves surprised. To think that the jade pendant was this useful! Now that favonovel.com knew what the jade pendant was capable of, Gerald began slightly regretting his choice of selling it…
Even so, what was done, was done. He couldn’t just take it back now that it had officially been sold. What more, the buyer of the jade pendant was the prince of this continent! With that in mind, getting it back was only going to be even more difficult!
Understanding that it was best if favonovel.com just gave up on reobtaining it, Gerald then said in a slightly resigned tone, “…I see. I appreciate you telling me more about it, Prince Severin… Regardless, the jade pendant is now yours, so you don’t need to worry about me trying to reclaim it!”
Staring into Gerald’s eyes, the prince could sense that Gerald wasn’t lying to him. With that, favonovel.com then replied, “…Well said. I trust in you!”
Following that, the two parties talked for a while longer before going their separate ways…
As they left the Aurum Auction House, Gerald kept reminding himself that it was no use crying over spilled milk. The fact that they now owned a fortune definitely helped Gerald convince himself that this outcome wasn’t all that bad. After all, it was better than having nothing at all.
By rough estimation, all that money was more than enough for all three of them to live for an entire year in the Leicom Continent worry-free.
With that in mind, the trio made sure to not only find a better place to stay in, but to also celebrate by having a hearty dinner together…
Fast forward to night time, Gerald ended up having to share a room with Nori while Zelig slept in another room.
While Gerald was naturally reluctant to have to share a room with her, Nori kept insisting that favonovel.com stayed with favonovel.com with the excuse that favonovel.com was afraid of being alone. With how things currently were, it was obvious that Nori won in the end.
Whatever the case was, now that they were in a private room, Gerald finally took the chance to take the green dragon’s egg out from his backpack.
Carefully placing it on the table, Gerald then began observing the egg, wondering if another green dragon would actually hatch from it.
Walking over to Gerald’s side, Nori then sat beside him. Looking at the egg with favonovel.com own curious gaze, favonovel.com then found herself asking, “…Do you think another green dragon will hatch from this…?”
“It’s possible. Even if that’s the case, we don’t really know when it’s going to hatch anyway,” replied Gerald rather calmly.
The second his sentence ended, however, a crisp crack could be heard from the egg…
Staring wide-eyed as small cracks began racing down the dragon egg, Gerald and Nori were momentarily left speechless when a green dragon eventually peeked out from within the now cracked egg!
With eyes that were the size of Gerald’s thumbs, the baby dragon simply stared back at Gerald and Nori until Nori eventually snapped out of it.
With how cute it was, Nori was immediately captivated and favonovel.com found herself squealing, “It’s… It’s an adorable baby green dragon!”
