Beast Taming? Nah, Dragon Herding is Way Better! - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: A New Dragon
“How are these things, are they of any value if I sell them?” looking at all the ‘treasures’ in the assassin’s spatial pouch now laid on the ground after examining each and every single one of them, Diluc asked, the beauties knowing full well that he isn’t addressing them, merely remains silent for a while before they saw the floating gray screen as well.

[All these junks sold will only amount to a thousand Realm Gold]

The Dragon Herding System replies, causing the young man to sigh in pity as he couldn’t believe that the things that he thought would make him rich can only amount to such meager money from the system, but having no alternatives to earning Realm Gold, he accepted such price nevertheless.

[Shop]

Seeing the amount of money he currently have, the young man couldn’t help but form a smile on his face as he navigates through the shop of the system, taking a look at a specific habitat on there, his smile getting even wider as he saw the price of said habitat.

“It’s a good thing that all living habitat for the dragons are something quite affordable…” he mutters to himself as he scrolls through the other locked, yet displayed habitats in the shop, seeing that most of them doesn’t even reach a five-digit price tag for him to purchase, making him think that it is going to be just easier from here when it comes to Realm Gold problems.

[Fire Floating Island (5,000 Realm Gold)]

[Description: A floating island filled with great volcanic mountain ranges, most of them being active and spewing magma all the time in them, a perfect place for any dragon with relation to the fire attribute to reside in. Currently able to house five dragons simultaneously, can be upgraded]

After seeing this and knowing that he now has enough money to afford another dragon, he starts laughing to himself as he opens the entrance to the Draconic Realm, making the two dragonesses to move before him, taking a step towards the portal after making sure that the two beauties already arrive at the other side, his laughter still echoing in the woods as his figure disappears.

Arriving at the all too familiar, great view and atmosphere of the Draconic Realm, Diluc couldn’t stop himself from taking a deep breath as he takes in the extremely fresh and uniquely powerful mana dancing around in the air of this place, before letting out a satisfied sigh as he allows the air he takes in to circulate around his body.

“Man, there’s really no place that beats home…” despite only possessing the Dragon Herding System for a while, he couldn’t help but feel like this place is already his new home, with loved ones waiting for him all the time, a comfortable place to live and sleep on, as well as a great location to temper and train himself, making this an all-around place that is more than likely all the people in the world’s dream.

“What are you planning to do today, husband~~” knowing that there is some purpose why her liege and lover hurriedly urges her and her sister Argenta to move back to the Draconic Realm, the mature, neon-green haired alluring beauty, Yggdrasil, couldn’t help but asks as she stares at the floating gray screen currently situated in front of her beloved, something that he once mentioned that only them, his dragons, can see, of course, except for him.

“You’re about to get a new friend” Diluc replied as he navigates through the system’s shop once again, his smile getting wider and wider as he finally found what he is looking for, something that he already sets his eyes on previously.

[Fire Dragon Egg (5,000 Realm Gold)]

[Contains an infant pure bred, Fire elemental True Dragon inside, needs to be incubated on the True Dragon Nourishing Tree in order to show its true potential. The talent of the dragons bought from the shop has an absolute random chance, meaning the chance of the dragon being the highest of talent and the chance of it also being the lowest of talent and anywhere in between is the same.]

‘Since Yggdrasil is a wood dragon and Argenta is a metal dragon, my defensive and survival capabilities are already through the roof because of their blessings, now that I lack some offensive abilities, I should probably opt for a fire dragon’ the young man thought carefully, this not being the only choice he has if he just wants additional firepower, however, the fact that the fire dragon is also part of the five elements makes him all the more compelled to buy this as he wants to finish his current mission, knowing full well that missions are most likely the main source of Realm Gold for him.

Clicking on the image of a fiery red, scaled egg, he watches as his Realm Gold starts to fall into the four-digit value once again, his lament to his poverty striking once again as he realizes that this entire savings will be wiped out the moment he purchased a habitat for this young one as well, the only thing comforting him from this reality being the fact that he will finally receive another blessing once again.

After clicking on the image of the Fire Dragon Egg, a flash of brilliant light appears right in front of him, just a moment later an egg-shaped figure appears from the flash of light, emitting a heat so strong that he suddenly feels parched, the only reason why his clothes are still on his skin and not burning being the fact that mana automatically wraps around his figure the moment he feels the discomfort of the heat.

“Quite the feisty one, isn’t she?” as the green glow from the wood elemental mana surrounds her, Yggdrasil claims with a smile on her face as she moves closer towards Argenta, who is currently wrapped in a clear white glow of metal elemental mana, both of them not even feeling any discomfort from the heat being emitted by the new addition to their family.

“Another lady?” sniffing the air, Argenta couldn’t help but say to her Senior Sister with a hint of wonder in her voice, said senior sister looking at her with surprise as she never expected that this young beauty is someone who has more acute sense of smell than her.

After focusing on the egg of the fire dragon currently being carried by their beloved, Yggdrasil also figures out the gender of the new addition to their family, smiling as she notice trace of some jealousy on her junior sister’s eyes.

“You worried of the new girl?” she asked with a hint of teasing in her voice as she looks at the platinum-haired taciturn beauty, looking at her with interest plastered on her gorgeous face as this is the first time she saw this young beauty being so expressive except for when she is expressing her affection for their liege.

Hearing her senior sister’s words, Argenta couldn’t help but look at her before she nods her head with worry apparent in her eyes, something about having a new companion that will most like they will share their liege with just doesn’t sit normally for her yet.

Seeing her response as well as her expression, Yggdrasil couldn’t help but giggle as she bears the same sentiment as her from when before she hatches, only, she is able to hide her emotions better than her causing her dear liege to not notice anything amiss with her when Argenta is still an egg.

“You don’t need to worry about anything like that Argenta, Diluc is someone who will never forget the ones important to him… don’t you remember, his parents…” as she starts explaining, the two of them recalls the sudden influx of sorrow as they arrive near the city that their liege used to live in, the sadness in his heart when he visits the grave of his birth parents something that is conveyed to them as well due to their connections from the blessing, making them aware just how much the young man values ties with everyone despite his external veil of being a playful, unfettered one.

“Besides, haven’t you seen him neglecting me with you around? No, right?” the mature beauty pointed out causing the younger one to nod at her words, realizing that the claim of this senior sister of hers is proven to be true, making her more comfortable to the fact that there’s another addition to this currently small family of theirs, this eventually making her looks forward to meeting the one within the currently incubating egg.
