Silver Dragons are spawning in this dungeon!

Get rid of those rotten thoughts.

Hilo stopped worrying about it; after all, Novi couldn't escape anyway.

If it's meat, then let it rot in the pot; if it's duck, then cook it until done, and then cover the pot with the lid.

"Novi, will you fly away?"

Hilo asked a question out of the blue, leaving Novi completely confused.

Could it be that my deliberate attempts to get close to my brother have been discovered?

"?"

Looking at Novi's blank expression, well, it's pointless to ask.

It's too early to reveal our hand now; we should at least wait until the young dragons.

Thinking this, he used his paws to push away Novi, who was crowding towards him.

If she rubs against him again, Shiloh might not be able to resist... and beat up Novi.

Following the lizardmen, we arrived at a fairly large open space, even larger than the gnoll camp.

The gnolls' clearing was at the intersection of five roads, while the lizardmen's camp was a cave with a very high dome.

There is also a pool of water inside the cave.

As for the place where the gnolls fetched water, Hilo and Novi also found it. The carnivorous fish inside couldn't bite through Hilo's dragon scales at all.

Instead, it was given to Shiloh and Novi as an extra treat, becoming a small snack.

It's not a good time to linger at the entrance to the lizardman cave. There's only one entrance and one exit, and if anyone comes out, Hilo and Novi will be exposed.

So I left in a hurry without looking at it carefully.

The lizardmen are completely unaware that the dungeon is home to two silver dragons, Hilo and Novi, so the enemy is in the open while we are in the shadows.

The advantage lies with me!

We'll make plans once our combat strength improves.

They returned the way they came with Novi.

Because Shiro pushed Novi away earlier, Novi is currently sulking and has been very proud of herself by not coming closer to him the whole way.

Hilo ignored her, pretending not to see the fuming Novi, and walked straight ahead without looking at her.

Novi chased after Shiro, each step heavy, as if to say: I'm unhappy, come and comfort me.

He put on a sullen face.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I just pushed you a little, what's the big deal?" Shiloh poked Novi's tail and said.

Novi's tail snapped back after being poked, and she bristled, saying, "Where did I stick to you? The road is so narrow, I... I was just walking normally!"

Shiloh: "Hehe."

He had a look on his face that said, "Guess if I believe you?"

Novi realized that she couldn't take advantage of the situation any longer.

He switched back to his aloof, wise mode, and said with a serious expression, "I just like sticking to you like this, like steaming buns? You don't like it?"

"If you're not convinced, let's fight one-on-one!"

When Shiloh heard that Novi wanted a one-on-one fight, she slapped Novi on the back of the head.

One slap was enough to put Novi back into her naive and innocent mode. She realized that she seemed to be no match for Shiro and was powerless against him.

He fell into deep thought again, trying to find a reasonable excuse to get closer to Shiloh.

Hilo wasn't actually averse to it; although he was a fledgling dragon, he still had an eye for beauty.

Moreover, although dragons only become capable of reproduction in their youth, their minds mature relatively early.

Especially for dragons with high intelligence, like the white dragon, with its brain the size of a walnut kernel, how could it understand emotions?

Hilo knew that Novi had a very high level of affection for him, but at this stage of his life, he still had to be a good older brother.

Since she doesn't have a dragon father or mother, she needs a dragon to guide Novi and help her establish a correct understanding and a proper view of dragon life.

If we let Novi run wild now, things could really get worse later...

Just as he was thinking this, a fragrance of flowers suddenly wafted over, and Hilo couldn't help but cover the dragon's head.

Okay, I'm out of ideas. I can't really take action, I'm tired.

While Shiloh was distracted, Novi pressed herself against him again.

Fortunately, no one else tried to touch them; they just walked side by side, and their dragon wings would occasionally touch each other accidentally.

He decided to let Novi be; he always felt that Novi was drawing some kind of energy from him.

After she's been wearing the mask for a while, she'll reach a fully charged state, which is what gives her that cool and wise look.

When the battery runs out, it will enter a silly and confused state.

He gets listless if he's not close to Shiloh.

Hilo was afraid that if Novi continued like this, she would develop a split personality.

What's going on here? A cool and aloof silver-haired older sister, and a cute and innocent silver-haired girl—can I have them all in one choice?

Thinking this, he glanced at Novi again. Novi, unaware of what Shiro was thinking, grinned again.

It does look pretty silly, yeah, that's right.

Hilo and Novi returned to the camp together.

Picking up his iron sword, Hilo went to the place where he always practiced magic.

He felt that he could completely integrate the Heart of Magic today.

This speed, thanks to Hilo's extensive training, is many times faster than the original progress.

Hilo's body contains a great deal of magic power. Once he recovers, he can unleash many spells. So far, except for when he first broke into the stone chamber, when he used a lot of spells and became somewhat exhausted.

At other times, he almost never lacked magic power during battle.

Although dragons naturally possess a high total amount of magic power, the amount of magic power contained in Hiro's body is frighteningly high. Hiro himself can only attribute this to the talent of the alien dragon.

Therefore, Shiloh's training efficiency has always been very high.

The repeated dragon breaths, coupled with the repeated shield spells, disrupted the magical energy in this area, causing the temperature to plummet.

Novi liked to watch Hilo train from the sidelines because there was an automatic ice maker that could be used as an air conditioner.

Silver dragons belong to the cold-type dragon race, so they prefer cold places.

In addition, she can duplicate some spells, replacing the previous magic.

Currently, Novi can only store six spells, each corresponding to one of the six stars in her two eyes.

Novi has been studying it for so long that she is now almost able to master how to use the Heart of Magic.

However, it's estimated that it will be difficult to use, given the complexity of a third-circle spell.

With Novi's intelligence, it was somewhat of a stretch for her to chant and draw the magic circuits herself.

This isn't a matter of the total amount of magic; the burden of magic isn't significant.

It's a mental issue. If Hilo were to abandon the magical circuits tattooed on his body and try to unleash them, it would consume a lot of his mental energy.

After exhaling, Hilo suddenly felt a heat on the dragon scales on his chest.

The progress bar is full!

Heart of Magic, merge!

My heart started pounding violently at that moment.

Thump thump thump...

It looked like it wanted to jump out of its chest.

Hilo focused on sensing the difference. The Heart of Magic was completely integrated into his bloodline, and a mysterious feeling arose in his heart. This improvement far surpassed the previous shield spell.

Dragon blood seems to have become magical to some extent; its capacity to contain magic and its quality have both been greatly enhanced.

This was a small leap in the level of life, and Shilo even felt that her body seemed to be stretched by something, and that she had grown a little.

This is not an illusion; it's just that the body's growth is so small that it's not noticeable.
