Chapter 22: Dragon Language Magic

In addition, library books were not allowed to be brought out, and Vit wanted to read a book, so he could only have Winters accompany him every day.

‘By the way Veit, Bocco he was afraid that he would forget, so he simply asked me to bring this over to you!’

Saying that, Winters pulled out a jar of milky white liquid and placed it in the centre of the Dragon's Den.

It was none other than the juice of the Domia flower.

‘Boke added a teleportation magic formation on top of the jar's lid, so as long as you stand on top of the jar, the magic formation will automatically activate and teleport the Domia Flower sap inside into the groove on the lid.

I think that you should give him a thank you the next time you meet him!

Also, here's your dinner!’

With that, Winters pulled out another slice of cooked meat, about the same size as the immature Booth Dragon Beast he had eaten yesterday morning.

‘It's not possible to keep going after underage Booth Dragon Beasts, that would affect the size of the Booth Dragon Beast's colony, and they're one of the few Dragon Beasts that are suitable for young dragons to eat, in our neighbourhood!

So, see you tomorrow!’

‘This will be your classroom for the next while!’

With that said, Winters placed the Vitae they were holding in their hands, and then began to survey the cave in front of them.

Located on the fourth floor, the cave was spacious, with an area about the same size as the depths of the Dragon's Lair.

However, in the centre of the cave, a row of various dragon beast targets were placed.

Looking at these targets, a flash of remembrance flashed through Winters' eyes.

It could be said that every little dragon in the academy had spent time in this classroom, including herself!

And every young dragon in the current academy, under her leadership, had studied and practiced magic in this classroom!

The Dragon Academy was specially established for young dragons.

When they reached the juvenile dragon stage, they would leave the academy and truly start living independently.

Of course, living independently meant within the dragon nest, and only when they reached the youth dragon stage would they be allowed to leave the dragon nest, and by that time, they already had a certain level of self-protection.

Moreover, it wasn't like she had these young dragons with her all the time!

If that was the case, then she would be busy as hell!

Her job was done when the young dragons were around twenty years old and had pretty much learnt their magic, and then there was the constant waiting for a new batch of young dragons to be born, just like the present day Veit and the others.

The fertility rate of the dragon race had always been a problem, an adult female dragon would only lay a maximum of three dragon eggs, or in some cases not even one.

There were many reasons for this, but most fundamentally, it was still too difficult to conceive a dragon egg.

And amongst the dragon race, the egg laying rate of the giant dragon species was the lowest!

Moreover, the giant dragons had a characteristic that they would rarely nurture the dragon eggs they laid.

After they laid a dragon egg, the odds were that they would hide it in a safe place and leave it on their own.

As for whether the young dragon will survive ......

In fact, they would hide the dragon eggs in the vicinity of the dragon nests.

Therefore, in every dragon nest, a team would be set up, and they would go out into the wilderness, searching for those dragon eggs that had been abandoned by irresponsible parents, who had abandoned them.

Occasionally, they would also pick up some young dragons.

Whether it was dragon eggs or young dragons, it was very difficult to preserve them in the crisis-ridden wilderness, especially the latter!

Dragon eggs were actually safer if they were well hidden.

Moreover, if the environment was not suitable, the nurturing process of the dragon egg would be quite slow or even stop, and if the process exceeded a hundred years, the dragon egg would never nurture a young dragon again.

Moreover, not every dragon egg could successfully breed a young dragon.

The number of Veit and his batch was considered high!

Therefore, the time she waited for the young dragon to be born could be very long or very short.

At the longest time, there wasn't even a single young dragon in the entire Giant Dragon Academy, and the current Giant Dragon Academy was simply unimaginable to her.

There were a full one hundred and three young dragons!

No wonder she was like that, in fact, most of the vanished dragon nests were not because they were overrun by other dragons, but because there were no dragons to succeed them!

Just as Winters was looking forward to the bright future of the dragon nest.

Veit and the others, on the other hand, were fascinated by those targets in the classroom.

Celine and Dinnet, being little female dragons, might have been a bit more reserved, just curiously surveying the targets, the dragon beasts with inherited memories existed on these targets, and they all knew them!

Unlike their observations, the little male dragons were obviously a bit more aggressive.

Veit tried to scratch the markers with his claws, leaving a white mark on it.

Ao scratched hard at the mark, leaving several deep claw marks, then glanced at Veit and held his own head high.

As for Billy ......

Winters, who had returned to his senses, watched Billy's actions with a frown!

‘Billy, did you forget what I told you again?

Why are you shoving everything into your mouth?

In addition ...... O, this is a target for practising magic, not for sharpening your claws, they can block the impact of magic, but for your claws, there is no difference from dirt.

Nothing to be proud of!

And you, Veit ...... Forget it, seeing as you didn't break the target, I won't talk about you.

But remember, not everything, can be clawed.

If you can't remember this and suffer in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you!’

Saying that, Winters looked at Veit's three dragons with a bit of a headache, sure enough, a newborn young dragon was full of curiosity about everything, and his sight definitely couldn't be left for too long!

Being lectured a few times, Veit and the others stopped the movements in their hands with an embarrassed face, especially Ao, whose head almost dropped to the ground!

Celine looked at Veit and the others with a smug look on her face, young dragons always have a strong sense of comparison in all sorts of, strange ways, and right now, in Celine's opinion, she was the winner!

Dinnet, on the other hand, was lying peacefully in front of a target, looking at the group of young dragons with a smile on her face, as she always did!

‘Well, it's time for us to begin the lesson, you may choose a, smooth looking target, not for you to scratch and bite, of course, but for testing your magic!’

Saying that, Winters paused, then continued, ‘You are no strangers to magic, as it is an ability that is engraved in our bloodline.

Veit, you are the same, the Gargoyle Spit is also magic!

Remember what you guys do when you use your spit?’

‘Use your spiritual power to pull the magic elements within the dragon crystal and inject them into the elemental lungs, then you'll be able to use it!’

Celine picked up Winters' words in a loud voice.

Winters nodded.

‘Very well, but do you know why by injecting the elements into the Lungs of the Elements, you are able to use the Spit?’

The five little ones looked at each other with bewilderment in their eyes.

Winters smiled and said, ‘This involves the principle of magic usage, what is the principle of magic usage?

Using the magic elements in one's body, constructing elemental nodes, connecting the elemental nodes with spiritual power, constructing elemental circuits, and attracting the surrounding free elements to converge, this is the process of casting magic!

So, let's go back to the question we just asked, why is it that by injecting elements into the Lungs of the Elements, one is able to use Spit?’

Veit's eyes lit up.

‘The Lungs of the Elements have elemental nodes that have been constructed!’

Winters smiled and said, ‘It's close enough, in fact, in the Lungs of Elements, there is indeed an elemental node for the Dragon's Spit, moreover, this node is naturally generated!

Remember what the essence of a node is?

It's the element of magic!

So, the Lungs of the Elements is in fact the second location within our giant dragon species that stores magical elements.

However, the magic elements in the Lungs of the Elements are revealed to be inert!

Therefore, by channelling elements into the Lungs of Elements, we are not constructing elemental nodes, but activating the magic elements in the Lungs of Elements. The activated magic elements automatically construct the elemental nodes of the Gargoyle's Spit and attract the surrounding elements to converge over, thus completely forming the Gargoyle's Spit!

This magic, which is only possessed by the Gargoyle species, is known as origin magic!’

‘...... This magic, which is only possessed by the Gargoyle species, is known as origin magic!’

After a pause, Winters continued, ‘Of course it can also be called bloodline magic, our giant dragon species, in addition to spitting, there is also an origin magic, which is flight!’

Speaking here, Winters looked towards Veit and said somewhat helplessly, ‘Unlike spitting, flight requires the use of magic elements that are free in the air.

That's why you're not able to use this magic.

But, still, Vit, don't be discouraged, trust me, everything will come through!’

It wasn't that she was nagging, but, Veit was still young, and could easily fall into low self-esteem because of things like, why are other people able to do this, but I can't!

In order to ensure that Veit could grow up positively and optimistically, Winters had to hang these words on her lips from time to time.

Sure enough, upon hearing Winters' words, Veit, who had just been a bit lost, once again perked up.

‘Alright, let's continue!
