Chapter 4053 Ferrian Anna's Advice
"More than twenty minutes."
Miss Doll nodded:
"You just said you wanted to look at the book 'The Book of Dragons: Breeding and Growth' that Fiona brought to the academy?"
"Yes, I'm having trouble incubating the eggs."
Shad then briefly explained the matter of the Moon Egg, mentioning that the egg did not react at all, whether it was cultivated as an egg or a seed.
So Miss Feliciano came up with a new idea:
"I only skimmed through that book, so I'm not sure if it actually contains any knowledge that could help you. But based on my understanding of dragons, is it possible that what that egg lacks most is actually time?"
Gina, who was overhearing the conversation, suddenly widened her eyes:
"Oh right, how could I forget that?"
She hugged her tail and explained to Shad:
"The hatching of a dragon egg is an extremely long process, especially for eggs laid by powerful and ancient dragons. Although the egg you mentioned theoretically has no blood relation, judging from its origin, it is indeed powerful enough."
It hasn't reacted at all so far, possibly because it's been too short a time. From the perspective of a dragon egg, it's only been less than two months since it hatched, which is hardly a significant amount of time.
In even more ancient times, not even going back to the mythical era, the dragon eggs laid by the ancient dragons of the Second Age would take hundreds or even thousands of years to hatch.
"Does it really take that long?"
Shad hesitated slightly, thinking of having Emilia accelerate the egg's time, but he felt that this was too much to ask of the little elf, as his own [Breath of Time] could not accelerate time for such a long period of time.
Miss Felicity saw through Shad's thoughts:
"Don't try to hatch the egg by accelerating the passage of time. The hatching of a dragon egg requires suitable conditions. Simply accelerating time will only cause it to perish within time. If possible, the best method is to send the dragon egg to the 'present'."
The doll swung her legs, trying to hide her thoughts from Shad:
"The academy has excellent facilities. Gina is very skilled at taking care of dragon eggs, and the 'Dragon Book: Breeding and Growth' is also here for easy reference. However, there are risks involved, since no one can be sure whether the egg truly lacks time."
Shad then inexplicably thought of the reward for this mission: the dragon maid contract with unknown effects. However, it was too early to think about that now; the troubles of this mission were far from over.
Shad believed that Miss Feliananna must have gleaned some speculation about the evil god, the Lord of Flesh and Blood, from their account, but Miss Feliananna, like Shad, made no comment.
"Speaking of which, what was it like when that Furnace of Life was activated?"
"Absolutely spectacular!"
Gina immediately responded:
"Crimson streaks of blood emerged from the furnace, then connected to the walls and ceiling of the entire room. All the lights gradually dimmed, leaving only the furnace emitting a dim red glow, and then—BOOM!"
She wanted to describe the scene as vividly as possible:
"The blood pool boiled, and the baby's cries could be heard by everyone at that moment, followed by a rather exaggerated scene."
"Can the furnace be started even if not all the organs have been collected?"
Having never witnessed such a scene before, Shad asked a question, and Mrs. Gustave nodded:
"It can be started, but because the forging cannot be completed, there won't be that scene."
Shad did not suggest wasting the [Blood Essence of All Things] now:
"Then I'll go check on it when the furnace is opened for the fourth time. Miss Bradvi, by the way, are you ready this time?"
Shade was referring to the "poisoning" with [active metals], and the halfling girl gave him a no-go sign:
"I plan to use [Active Metal] to replicate the shape of [Ghost Face Eye], and then use the latter's properties to make a real ghost face appear on the Active Metal. This way, the [Active Metal] can have some of the properties of [Ghost Face Eye]."
She explained to everyone:
"This is what my sister told me: [Active Metal] has a very high compatibility with the Demon Eye. I will then cast a spell to seal the abnormal properties of [Active Metal] and mix it into the forging materials I'm submitting this time. I hope that will be useful."
The doll on Shad's shoulder nodded gently:
"This is a good approach; it's at least better than Gina's bubble effect."
The pink dragon maid lowered her head in embarrassment, but Miss Feliana was not criticizing her:
"To prevent the worst from happening, Shad, after you leave this time, in addition to finding a way to temporarily suppress the 'Withering Crystals', we also need to think about how to deal with what happens if we encounter something even more terrifying than the 'Flesh-and-Blood Aberration Children' forged by the Life Forge."
Shad also understood that this was the key to this adventure:
“I’ve thought about it before, but I haven’t come up with a very effective method.”
After all, the Tree Father had warned that divinity was best not used in the past, and Shad also knew that this power would seriously affect the order of spacetime.
He then tentatively inquired:
"Ms. Felicia, do you have any good ideas?"
A sweet smile appeared on the doll's face; Gina had never seen this demigod witch show such an expression before.
"The spark you created gave us a chance. Assuming you can leave after completing the forging of the Life Forge, then even if something more terrifying than the Children of Flesh and Blood appears, you don't need to actually defeat it; you can simply avoid it and escape."
All four nodded.
"Yes, we don't consider ourselves to be that kind of opponent."
The doll girl swung her legs under her skirt again:
"So, all you need to do is figure out how to dodge. It's still very difficult, but it's much easier than facing the enemy head-on."
"The life force within the AllSpark is so powerful; you can use it to create a puppet-like avatar for yourselves, and let that puppet remain here in your place."
Xia De hesitated, as if to say something but then stopped:
"But that alone isn't enough to fool that kind of being, is it?"
In Xia De's memory, all the gods he encountered had the ability to see through time and space. No matter how real the life force was, it was impossible to deceive the eyes of the gods with a false body.
But Miss Feliciano added:
"That being shouldn't have been watching this place all along, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get in at all. Perhaps only when some stringent conditions are triggered will that being appear, while under normal circumstances, it should just be this factory automatically running its existing production and self-defense processes."
The three witches were now much relieved:
"Yes, but how could such a trivial matter possibly warrant such a being personally taking action against us?"
But Shad knew in his heart that the gods would definitely appear in the missions he was involved in, and Miss Feliana's assumptions were never valid from the beginning.
Mana Ferrianana, who had already exchanged information with demigods from different times and spaces and read the scattered records of Shad's appearances throughout the many eras of the Fifth Age, was naturally aware that the gods would definitely appear.
The previous statement was merely to reassure the three witches. While they discussed the need for caution in their next move, the blonde doll tilted its head, bringing its small, exquisitely crafted head close to Shad's ear, and whispered:
"After you return to the Sixth Age, there is one more thing you need to do."
Xia De listened attentively.
"If I remember correctly, the Red Moon not only has the imagery of promoting reproduction, but also the power of 'flesh and blood mutation,' right?"
"Yes."
Shad nodded. The "Mad Moon" that broke out in Vistalin was the Red Moon's calamity in terms of flesh and blood mutation.
The puppet continued to lower its voice:
"After you go back this time, you will need to learn and master the power of the Red Moon's 'Flesh and Blood Anomaly'. I will not specify what you need to learn and master; you will have to make the choice yourself."
Shad wrote down all of these teachings:
"Shouldn't we learn from those powers that directly point to the 'blood and flesh decay' essence of the Red Moon?"
The "she" beside my ear seemed to chuckle.
For the remainder of the adventure, everyone huddled in the small shelter, first using the flesh and organs in the small bucket to piece together a human shape on the ground. Then, as the organs slowly wriggled and adjusted their positions, they held a small tea party with the tea and snacks that Shad had brought. Even the petite Miss Felian Anna held a "huge" biscuit and tasted it.
As they watched the flesh and blood piece together and the organs intertwine, they drank tea and ate snacks, sharing more of their past stories.
Shad then learned that Mrs. Gustav had a happy marriage many years ago, but unfortunately, his wife died young; Miss Bradway had never left her hometown, the halfling town, for more than twenty miles in her life, but her mother was a famous halfling adventurer whom Miss Ferrian Anna had heard of.
Gina shared more stories about her early life with her tribe, including how she adopted a cute little rabbit when she was young, but the rabbit died of illness not long after. She was heartbroken for a long time and buried it by herself.
As for Shad, he shared about Mia, who wanted to come here on this adventure with him:
“I wouldn’t bring it here. We’re already struggling to resist the corrosive effects of blood and flesh. All it can do is set its tail on fire and breathe small flames. That cat is just a little too bold sometimes.”
Miss Feliana recalled that during her summer vacation in 1854 of the Sixth Age, she had heard from more than one person about the cat that transformed into a golden lion and shattered half of the wing of the evil god [Dragon Eater] with a single "sun breath":
"Actually, you can try bringing it with you; it's a good form of insurance."
