Dragon Who Controls Time-Chapter 35

Sleeping and Growth

Looking at the bright elemental spiritual light, Garen could not wait to pick up the small wooden box and extend his sharp dragon claws to crush it.

However, when the dragon claw touched the small wooden box and exerted slightly strength, Garen’s gaze moved slightly. He clearly felt a rebounding resistance appear. This resistance was not great, and he only needed to use some strength to break it.

However, breaking it with brute force would alarm the Spell Lock on it and might destroy the items inside.

“Tier 0 Spell Lock…”

The power of spells was definitely stronger the higher the tier. However, some spells with special effects, even if they were Tier 0, were also favored by high-level spellcasters.

For example, the Secret Technique Mark, and the Spell Lock on the small wooden box.

A box or door that applied a Spell Lock could prevent non-spellcasters from prying.

A dragon claw with dagger-like nails tapped on the small wooden box. Garen muttered in his mind, “Open!”

The elemental fluctuations surrounding the small wooden box rippled and disappeared layer by layer.

It was very difficult to defend against creatures who were also spellcasters because there was another spell specially to deal with this, the Tier 0 Spell Unlock. Unless the mage who used the Spell Lock was far stronger than the mage who used the Spell Unlock, it was impossible to defend against the unlocking of other mages.

Opening the small wooden box, Garen looked at the shining gems inside and an obvious joy appeared in his eyes.

Inside were five irregular gems the size of pigeon eggs.

Red agate, obsidian, white crystal… All of them emitted a faint spiritual light surrounded by elemental energy. The elements around the gem were more active than in other places.

On the Noah Continent, these shiny and beautiful gems that were like the stars of the earth not only had the function of decoration, but they were also magic items that were loved by countless creatures.

Gems had the effect of attracting elemental energy. They could store extraordinary magic power. The longer they existed, the better the quality, and the stronger the effect.

A top-grade gem contained magic power that could support the complete consumption of a high-level spell.

In addition, the concentration of elemental energy near the gems was higher. Staying in the pile of gems for a long time could increase the speed of growth.

Garen picked up a red agate that was as red as flames and gently rubbed it on his face.

A moment later, he slowly opened his dragon mouth, pinched the gem, and slowly sent it into his mouth. The process was a little hesitant.

“Should I eat it directly or keep it…”

Garen was a little unwilling.

He was so poor that his small treasure vault only had tattered armor and a rusty sword. ƒ𝑟𝙚e𝔀𝗲𝒃n𝒐𝘷𝗲Ɩ.c𝗼𝚖

Apart from reluctance, another reason was that eating the gem directly was a waste.

Leaving the gem behind and carrying it by his side for ten years was better than directly swallowing it. Moreover, the quality of the gem would increase over time.

However, after thinking for a few seconds, Garen still made up his mind and threw the red agate into his mouth.

What he lacked now was the strength to deal with accidents and crises. When he had enough confidence in the future, he would be worthy of putting away his hidden treasures.

Although he was unwilling, Garen still wanted to eat these beautiful treasures.

“Don’t blame me, sigh.”

“You appeared at the wrong time.”

Garen exerted strength in his throat and sent the red agate into his stomach. His powerful digestive function was instantly activated as he digested the gem bit by bit and transformed it into pure magic power that flowed into Garen’s limbs and bones.

Magic power was elemental energy that could be absorbed into the body and controlled at will.

As the gem gradually melted, the magic wave gently swept through every cell of Garen’s body, nourishing his body, and causing him to involuntarily roar comfortably.

He felt the numbness in his body ripple. In for a penny, in for a pound. He simply raised the small wooden box and poured the contents into his mouth.

The remaining four gems fell into Garen’s mouth one after another and entered the dragon’s stomach. Like the agate, they were digested into pure magic power and swept through Garen’s body again and again.

After eating five magic gems, Garen’s eyes became a little hazy.

He felt vaguely sleepy.

It was not because he was exhausted and wanted to rest, but because his body had absorbed enough energy and nutrients and was about to grow again. He needed a period of sleep.

“Hmm… I feel that I’m still a little short.”

His sleepiness was not very really urgent.

This meant that Garen was already very close to sleeping and growing, but he was still slightly inferior.

He originally wanted to take the time to learn the spells recorded in the [Incantation and Transformation Spell Encyclopedia], but to Garen, the best way to increase his strength was still to sleep and grow.

Therefore, Garen put aside the matter of learning spells.

He walked out of the stone house of the two-headed ogre with heavy footsteps.

After thinking for a few seconds, Garen summoned all the ogres and asked if there were any other traces of gems in the Ogre Basin. He would reward them for contributing gems.

However, what disappointed Garen was that the two-headed ogre’s collection was already all there was.

The ogre was not interested in such shiny things. Those who did not have the talent to cast spells could not obtain benefits from the gems so there was no need to hide them. Moreover, the two-headed ogre had already searched the area once. Those five gems were the entire stock here.

Out of caution, Garen also activated the spell to detect spiritual light. He patrolled the Ogre Basin and indeed did not discover any more spiritual light.

These stupid ogres did not lie to him.

Otherwise, Garen would make the guy hiding the gem pay with his life.

“Uga, if you find any traces of a gem in the future, obtain it by hook or by crook and hand it to me.”

“If it’s too difficult, inform me immediately. I’ll deal with it myself.”

“Tell this news to all the ogres. Their master needs gems to decorate the nest.”

Uga Bone Crusher scratched his head. He did not know why the noble True Dragon and his former leader were interested in useless rocks, but he still nodded respectfully and said, “Yes, Great Master.”

Garen’s dragon wings shook slightly as he planned to return to the dragon nest in the Ice River Domain.

However, just as he was about to take off, his gaze moved slightly. He turned to Uga Bone Crusher and said, “Build a dragon nest for me in the basin with the size of an adult dragon.”

Uga Bone Crusher was slightly stunned and said carefully, “Master, there aren’t many ogres in the Bone Crusher Tribe. A dragon nest of this scale…”

Garen interrupted impatiently and said in a low voice, “I only want the results.”

Uga Bone Crusher’s face turned pale. He lowered his head and did not dare to speak anymore.

Garen’s voice softened. He paused for a moment and said, “Find a few strong ogres. I’ll give you a chance to undergo the dragon blood transformation.”

As a large humanoid creature, the individual strength of the ogres was not weak. One ogre could at least fight five Northern Ice Spirits. After the dragon blood transformation, their strength could even increase further and they would be able to hunt some large magical creatures for Garen.
