Great Nobleman.

Chapter 2057 We already said that thing has nothing to do with us, why don't you believe us?

Brand and the others set off from Morningflower Castle for the Elf Forest in the morning.

By the time we returned, it was nearly noon.

When Ivy, Chris, and Sonia finished their work for the morning, they chatted and laughed all the way back to the main building.

Then, on the terrace, he saw a conspicuous 'big black egg' on a cushion next to Brand.

The three of them suddenly froze on the spot.

Immediately afterward, Ivy exclaimed in surprise:

"The secret technique succeeded!?"

Upon hearing this, Brand smiled and nodded.

The three of them, looking surprised, quickly stepped forward and began to watch and discuss with curiosity.

"This is a dragon egg?"

It doesn't look much different from some Warcraft eggs?

I almost thought it was today's lunch.

"I had my doubts just now; it's smaller than I thought."

I thought dragon eggs were at least two or three meters tall.

"Perhaps it's because of the dragon species?"

Wow! What a strong pulse and heartbeat! You guys should feel it too!

"...When will it hatch? Will it be a bit cold on the terrace?"

"I have a blanket here, but should we put it inside?"

"Brand? What do you think?"

Hearing the ladies chattering excitedly around the dragon egg, they finally turned their questioning gazes toward him.

Brand took a sip of hot tea with a cheerful expression, then waved his hand dismissively and said:

"No need for that trouble, dragons have strong vitality."

Even for dragon eggs, a normal environment is suitable for them.

However, according to Grandpa Ernst, ours might be a little malnourished.

Therefore, after hatching, we need to give it proper nourishment.

Hearing this, Ivy, who had already taken out a blanket to cover the dragon egg, asked curiously:

"Really? Should I take the blanket back?"

Brand joked:

"You can cover it up if you want, it makes no difference anyway."

Upon hearing this, Chris asked curiously:
"The lord hasn't said when it will hatch. And how should we feed it after it hatches?"
"If it's malnourished, should we feed it something better?"

Brand explained:

"It's still early; it's only just begun to develop."

According to Grandpa Ernst's assessment, it will take at least two to three months before it hatches.

After hatching, it will first eat the eggshell, and then it will probably take a nap.

In addition, it should be a variant of the earth-elemental dragon.

Therefore, we can feed it some earth-attribute ores and metals with spatial attributes later on.

It depends on what it likes; its inherited memories from its early childhood and its biological instincts will guide it.

We'll lay out a bunch of nice things for it then and see which ones it likes.

Hearing this, Sonia stroked the dragon egg and joked:

"It sounds like it's going to be a money-loser?"

Brand smiled and nodded:
"But the future looks promising!"

After chatting with the three ladies for a while, the remaining ladies, Catherine, Celine, and Heidi, soon pushed their food carts to the terrace.

Afterwards, everyone started chatting and having lunch as usual.

However, because there was an extra dragon egg beside them, even though it was just a decoration for now, their conversation would always unconsciously turn to this unborn little guy.

Of course, while dragons hold a legendary status within the Human Alliance, they are ultimately just top-tier magical beasts. And before the North Holland family, there were already two such top-tier magical beasts.

Therefore, Brand is not prepared to treat it too differently.

—It just means that this little guy is still too young.

Next, after carefully sensing the little guy growing healthily inside the dragon egg with Sister Celine and the others, confirming that they didn't need to do anything special, and then having a brief discussion.

Brand eventually sent the dragon egg to a garden on the simulated world of Water Blue Star for temporary placement.

They plan to gradually introduce it to the other members of the family after it is born.

After taking care of the little one's affairs.

Brand also turned his attention back to business.

Although the information Brand learned from the second [Heavenly Afterglow] about 'the continent of Vantim being the center of the past upheaval' was somewhat of a concern.

However, Brand still intends to proceed step by step according to the original plan.

The first thing, of course, is dealing with the numerous spoils of war.

Although several days have passed, they still haven't finished sorting through all the treasures they obtained from Mr. Candrus's lair.

—Even now, a considerable number of them are still scattered and piled up in the Twin Towers Square of Morning Flower Castle.

This is a technical skill.

For ordinary resources, they can easily classify them and put them into the warehouse with a quick glance.

However, a considerable portion of Mr. Candrus's treasures were finished products rather than raw materials.

This requires careful identification.

Considering that Celine was very interested in this matter, Brand directly put her in charge of it.

He, on the other hand, was preparing to finish the research on the astral boundary as soon as possible.

The next morning.

In the camp of Blackrock Wasteland on the continent of Rios.

After arriving together with Catherine, they greeted the library staff and Yersin and others.

Brand opened a portal to the Astral Line, and then stepped inside with Catherine.

Subsequently, the power of the driving force was used to update the [Space Diamond Platform] here.

Brand called back to the camp.

The numerous researchers in the camp were then transported there in an orderly manner.

This has become the norm every morning recently.

After all, only a Grand Magister like Brand, who possesses the earth elemental expertise, has been able to create a stable [Space Prism Platform] so far.

Of course, the library members gave a different explanation to Yersen and the others.

In their words:
This is all due to the effect of a rare and precious runic array creation of the North Holland family, and each use of it incurs a huge cost.

—This way, they can justifiably charge exorbitant rental fees!

Of course, these are all trivial matters.

Next, Andy and Finn, along with their wizards, continued the research that had been left unfinished the day before.

With nothing to do, Yersin watched as Brand did not leave directly as he had the previous two days.

Instead, they began to work with the library members on a huge sphere that was encased in some magical devices and resembled a deep blue crystal.

He curiously leaned closer, then widened his eyes, trying to discern something from it.

Seeing this, Brand, while adjusting the limiting device in front of him, joked:

"What? You spent a fortune on venue rental and all you came here for was to watch a show?"

Upon hearing this, Yersin said in a serious tone:

"As an investor in the research, all I need to do is oversee the research process and then enjoy the results."

"Compared to this, is this sphere of yours perhaps the 'little sun' you created a few days ago?"

Upon hearing this, Brand shook his head without changing his expression and said:

"I've already said that thing has nothing to do with us, why won't you believe me?"
