"Are chromatic dragons all idiots?" Muria looked at the incredibly simple method to increase the hatching rate and could hardly believe it. Just providing an environment with abundant and stable elemental energy is not difficult for powerful dragons.

"These chromatic dragons, apart from hoarding wealth, do they ever think about anything else?" Muria, being half of their kin, couldn't help but feel indignant. "They lay so many eggs in one nest, probably just to cope with this pitiful hatching rate!"

Considering the position of red dragons in the food chain, having six red dragon eggs in one clutch seemed somewhat unreasonable. But when one considers the hatching rate of these eggs, the number of times a pair of red dragons can lay eggs in their lifetime, plus the probability of mortality during the juvenile stage, six eggs in a clutch become necessary, or else chromatic dragons would eventually become extinct.

"In terms of hatching eggs, it seems that metallic dragons are doing better. Although they only have a pitiful two or three eggs in one clutch, they can hatch almost all of them, and the overall quality is higher."

Reading various books on dragon egg hatching, Muria suddenly thought of something and rubbed his chin. "Come to think of it, I don't seem to have any siblings. So, my mother laid one egg at a time and then gave birth to me."

"Tsk, is it because my father was a legendary titan?" Muria's thoughts diverged endlessly. "Gold dragons are known for their individual strength within the dragon race, and me, heh heh, inheriting the blood of a titan and a gold dragon. In the future, I should have no problem single-handedly defeating chromatic dragons of the same age!"

Muria indulged in fantasies of his seemingly infinitely bright and beautiful future, a foolish smile appearing on his face, until the maid Sofia couldn't bear to watch anymore and coughed lightly, startling Muria.

The baby-faced Muria smiled somewhat embarrassedly, glanced at the book in his hand authored by a silver dragon mage about how to increase dragon egg hatching rates.

Although chromatic dragons don't care much about their offspring, the kind-hearted metallic dragons do. So, among the towering pile of books in front of Muria, half of them were from the research of metallic dragonkind themselves.

The other half were from the research of other creatures in Elerasia on dragon eggs. Yes, the knowledge in this pile of books was not limited to red dragon eggs but included all chromatic dragon eggs, as well as the research on metallic dragon eggs.

"So, Sofia, I only need this book for what I need." Muria looked up, waving the book in his hand at the blonde girl. It was this book that provided the method of using released fire elemental crystals to provide a stable environment, thereby increasing the yield of red dragon eggs.

"Why did you bring me so many books? What's the meaning of this?" Muria questioned.

"Following your orders, Master Muria," Sofia, the maid, replied without hesitation. "According to your instructions, I brought all the books about dragon eggs from the master's library to you before you woke up."

"Oh my! I was referring to red dragon eggs. You only needed to find books related to red dragon eggs." Muria let out a painful groan. "Who told you to bring all the books about dragon eggs?"

"Master Muria," Sofia, the maid, lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly. "Actually, I didn't bring out all the books about dragon eggs from Lady Athreis's library. Because time was too tight, I only found a small portion."

"A small portion?" Muria was a bit speechless. "Well, indeed, it's a small portion." He thought of the vast number of books in his mother's collection, as well as the endless rows of bookshelves towering up to the ceiling, confirming Sofia's words.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sofia." Thinking of Sofia searching through the sea of books for what he needed, Muria felt a bit embarrassed. After all, as a maid, Sofia was already very diligent and responsible.

"This is what I should do, Master Muria," Sofia replied modestly.

"Well, these many books are enough for my needs. You don't need to continue searching." Muria issued another command. "Bring me enough fire elemental crystals, fresh blood of fire-attribute magical beasts, and magic dust..."

Muria continued to list several material names needed to set up the magic circles.

"Please wait a moment." After carefully noting Muria's requirements, Sofia exited the room.

In less than fifteen minutes from the time Muria started reading to pass the time, Sofia returned with eight maids carrying silver trays, bringing the materials Muria needed.

"So fast?" Muria was genuinely surprised by this speed.

"Of course, in the surrounding waters, there are hundreds of thousands of marine creatures willing to serve you at any time," Sofia replied with an answer that surprised Muria.

"Aren't these all things you got from my mother?"

"Without Lady Athreis's permission, even you, Master Muria, have no right to use even a single bit of Lady Athreis's property," Sofia said very seriously. "And these are offerings from the ocean tribes around the castle to you."

"My offerings?" Muria nodded, remembering that his mother was a dragon and also recalling those monsters cheering for him not long ago.

Muria was silent for a moment, then took the materials and started drawing the magic circles on the crystal floor of the room.

It's worth mentioning that although the entire castle, including the floor under Muria's feet, was made of crystals infused with magic, Muria couldn't use any of it because his mother had laid out a vast and intricate magic circle that turned the entire castle into a whole with terrifying defensive power.

Therefore, except for the Gold Dragon Mother herself, no one else could use even a bit of magic from this crystal castle. So for Muria, although his room was luxurious, it was just that. Everything else, he could see but not use.

"Phew." Muria breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the nonexistent sweat from his forehead. With his current physique, sweating was a very difficult thing to do.

"Finally finished drawing. It was supposed to be the simplest magic circle, but it turned out to be so difficult to draw." Muria stood on a six-pointed star-shaped crimson magic circle with a diameter of about three meters, looking very satisfied. This was the first time he had drawn a supernatural magic circle by himself, which was of extraordinary significance.

"This is your first time drawing a magic circle, Master Muria. It's already very rare to be able to draw it successfully," Sofia, who had been quietly watching Muria draw the circle, smiled and spoke. "Moreover, at your age, successfully drawing a magic circle is enough to prove that you have excellent magical talent."

"Hehe." Muria chuckled. It was just mixing the blood of fire-attribute magical beasts with other magical materials to create a kind of paint, and then drawing a slightly more complex geometric pattern. There was nothing to be proud of about being able to do such a thing.

"Let's activate it and see the effect!" Muria placed six rhomboid fire elemental crystals successively on the six nodes of the magic circle, then activated the circle with the psychic power he had naturally possessed since birth.

The crimson fire element was guided out of the magic crystals by the magic circle and then concentrated very gently at the center of the circle, quietly releasing outward. The external manifestation was a crimson flame igniting at the center of the circle, with red dots floating up and dissipating in the air.

"Is that it?" Muria was a bit disappointed. This was just like lighting a gas stove, almost dissipating the sense of achievement he had just felt. Although the flame looked quite dreamy.

After a moment of hesitation, Muria picked up a red dragon egg and placed it in the center of the magic circle. As a result, the crimson flame disappeared because all the fire elements released in the circle were absorbed by the red dragon egg.

"I hope it's not cooked!" Muria looked at the red dragon egg on the magic circle shining with the light of crimson fire elements, muttering mischievously. "If it's cooked, it's just right to taste what a red dragon egg tastes like."

So Muria found Sofia beside him looking at him with a very horrified look, and then he immediately realized that as someone with half-blood of a gold dragon, saying that he wanted to taste dragon eggs was simply rebellious.

"Just kidding, Sofia, don't be so surprised." Muria laughed and waved his hand, trying to cover up his verbal mistake. "Besides, how could a red dragon egg be cooked?"

"It's not funny, Master Muria," Sofia advised, "Although you have titan blood, you also have the blood of a gold dragon. So, you must never have evil thoughts like eating dragons."

It should be noted that even if there is a conflict between evil dragons, the victorious side will only exile or imprison the loser, as Lady Athreis did. Dragons rarely kill each other, and as for eating each other, it's basically impossible.

"Got it, got it." Muria pretended to be impatient, waving his hand. Feeling somewhat guilty, but it seemed that the maid didn't think of any other implications, just suspecting that the influence of his titan blood made him say such things.

"Uh, the dragon egg seems more energetic now." Muria placed his chubby "little" hand on the red dragon egg. He could feel a faint vitality within the egg strengthening, transmitting a very excited mood at this moment.

"It seems the method mentioned in the books is correct," Muria said to Sofia, trying to cover up his earlier mistake. "I'll make good use of my time and draw the remaining five circles."

"Let me help you." Sofia stepped forward to help Muria make the paint for drawing the magic circles. It seemed that she didn't dwell on the earlier conversation...

After finishing today's meal and preparing to sleep, Muria looked at the six hatching magic circles and the red dragon eggs in them in the room with satisfaction. "I've done what I should do, now it's just waiting!" Then, Muria sank into endless darkness.
