Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2056 The Newly Hatched Dragon Egg!
I observed it from a distance on a high cliff at the edge of the valley for a while.

After discovering that Grandpa Ernst had gradually stopped moving, and that his entire enormous dragon body had transformed into its usual handsome elf form in the bright purple light and was now suspended in mid-air.

Knowing that the ceremony had officially concluded, Brand piloted his Elemental Legion, bringing his three wives closer.

At this moment, the valley is already lush and green due to the overflowing life force.

The ceremonial platform they had specially prepared was also surrounded by plants that were still growing vigorously.

On the enormous ceremonial platform, Mr. Candrus's massive dragon body, along with many of the materials on it, had vanished.

Only a deep red sphere, over five meters tall, remained, still shrinking inward.

As Brand and the others watched all this with curiosity, Ernst, who had presided over the entire ceremony, pondered for a moment and then spoke:

"I hadn't paid much attention at first, but as I presided over the entire ceremony, I discovered that there seemed to be many techniques of death alchemy involved."

Upon hearing this, Celine smiled and said:

"We discovered this a long time ago."

The continent of Osia does not prohibit the undead and their lineage.

At the same time, it was not a continent like Rios, which was dominated by the undead.

Therefore, they possess many special necromancy techniques that are biased towards life attributes.

This book, "The Creation of Dragon Veins," likely draws upon some of its theories.

Upon hearing this, Ernst nodded and said:

"Death and life are two opposing yet unified poles, which is reasonable."

But it sounds like you've already witnessed quite a bit of the undead race's heritage, right?

Don't go astray, or it will be very difficult for me as your guardian.

In the end, Ernst's face took on a mocking and sarcastic expression.

Upon seeing this, Brand also said in a serious tone:

"Grandpa Ernst misunderstands. We just happen to have some friends from other continents who are experts in this field."

"Things like necromancy—our North Holland family definitely doesn't possess any of that!"

Hearing this, Ernst smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

So many things happened during the continental war.

Necromantic magic spread widely across our continent, along with the affairs of the mountain dwarves.

Now that the war is over, the agreement among the various races of our continent regarding the prohibition of the dead has actually become somewhat nuanced from the perspective of some races.

As he spoke, Ernst's expression became slightly more serious.

After observing the ongoing ceremony.

Ernst turned to Brand and continued:

"By the way, Brand."

In just over two months, it will be one year and one month since the end of the continental war.

The Elf Forest is preparing to invite war heroes from all races across the continent to the Alliance City to celebrate the victory in the war.

Invitations have already been sent out.

This can be considered a belated celebration banquet where everyone can get together.

At that time, the Dwarf Village might consider talking to the various races about the mountain dwarves they rescued and who then migrated to the continent of Osia because of the Undead Pact.

If that's the case, they would likely take the opportunity to bring up the agreement on banning the dead on the mainland for discussion.

What do you think? "

Finally, Ernst looked at Brand.

Speaking of the mountain dwarves, Brand thoughtfully replied:
"Although I didn't pay much attention at the time, looking back now, there are probably some secrets about the mountain dwarves."

Our initial proposal was to have the Dwarf Village secretly support the king of the Mountain Dwarfs.

Let him have a higher status to protect the people of the mountain dwarves, and then we can take our time to deal with him.

But later, the king of the mountain dwarves abandoned everything. Not only was a high bounty placed on his head by the invading forces of Rios, but he has also completely disappeared without a trace, not daring to show his face at all.

In contrast, a considerable number of mountain dwarf people successfully escaped from suffering.

If we were to go through the entire process of the event from the beginning...

Although this king of the mountain dwarf tribe betrayed his father.

But in the end, he also successfully protected and saved a considerable number of mountain dwarfs from the invading forces of the Eternal Night Kingdom.

From this perspective, I have every reason to suspect that this was all premeditated.

Upon hearing this, Ernst couldn't help but smile and nod, saying:
"You truly live up to your title as Duke Morning Blossom!"

You guessed right, there are indeed some secrets involved.

Because I happened to be involved in some behind-the-scenes details using my position, I know the specifics.

However, due to contractual constraints, I cannot elaborate further here.

Upon hearing this, Brand nodded in understanding.

—The so-called 'borrowing identity' that Grandpa Ernst mentioned most likely refers to borrowing the identity of a guardian!

Lost in thought, Brand continued his analysis:

"In any case, the last king of the mountain dwarves was a traitor to the continental alliance."

His betrayal during the Battle of Morgan Hill directly led to the loss of countless soldiers' lives.

Therefore, the Dwarf Village probably won't make this public this time.

In my opinion, this is at most a preliminary test of the reactions of various ethnic groups.

I can imagine why they chose to do this:

It shouldn't just be that group of dwarves they sent to the continent of Osia.

In addition, among the various races on the continent, the legacy of the undead is most widely spread in the Dwarf Village.

This matter is viewed from the perspective of other races, including our human alliance.

Now is certainly not the time to lift the restrictions of the Agreement on the Undead among the various races of the mainland.

Ultimately, this war between the continents in this era is not over.

Many forces of various races on our continent are now dedicated to revenge, and the undead are one of their important targets.

So it's clearly too early right now!

After hearing Brand's explanation, Ernst nodded thoughtfully.

The nobles of the Human Alliance have a tacit understanding on many major events.

Therefore, in a sense, Brand, the Duke of the Human Empire, basically represented the unified attitude of the vast majority of the noble class in the entire Kaya Empire and even the Human Alliance.

This is also why Ernst asked Brand.

—Although he is a dragon, Ernst has lived on the continent as an elf for many years, so he has many friends from all races on the continent.

—This time, a dwarf friend actually asked him for a fee to help him test the attitude and thoughts of Brand, the Duke of Morningflower.

After chatting about this topic for a little while longer,

Celine suddenly interrupted, saying:
"Alright, you can talk about these things later. Let's check if the ceremony is going to be a success."

Upon hearing this, he quickly turned his gaze back to the center of the ceremonial platform below.

The bright red sphere that was several meters in diameter has now shrunk to less than one meter and is still shrinking further over time.

At the same time, its color has changed from deep red to dark red, and it is deepening over time.

A little while later...

The ceremonial platform, which had been flashing with light, gradually dimmed completely.

What was once a dark red mass has now transformed into a pitch-black and unassuming half-meter-tall egg.

Upon seeing this, after quickly and carefully sensing the surroundings, Ernst smiled and said:
"We were lucky, we succeeded!"
