CHAPTER 729: MISS SILVER DRAGON’S HOUSE-HUNTING BATTLE!

Serilla’s hibernation was a big event, prompting everyone to mobilize and brainstorm together. At the dinner table that evening, everyone offered their ideas:

"Is there a nearby existing mine or an abandoned one? Just block the entrance, no need to dig!"

Mr. Norwood tried to recall. Before Serilla could refuse, Garrett was the first to shake his head:

"I’m afraid not... Silver dragons prefer to live on mountaintops..."

For the environment suitable for a silver dragon’s hibernation, it’s best to mimic a dragon’s nest. Garrett had seen Serilla’s aunt’s nest, the Lady of Radiant Scales, which was hidden at the mountain’s peak, overlooking the sea.

It was said that a nest could also be made from woven white clouds, but unfortunately, Garrett didn’t have that ability.

Mr. Norwood was out. Aurora was the second to raise her hand:

"Mountains are convenient! Just find a tall mountain and dig it out. There are many peaks to the east and north of Igor Peak! If needed, I can help dig with you, using fireball and frost spells to blast through the rock walls!"

Garrett continued to shake his head:

"This is an advancement, not just finding a place to sleep. It needs to be energy-rich...right?"

He looked at Serilla. The silver dragon girl smiled gratefully at Aurora and nodded vigorously:

"The richer the energy, the smoother the advancement. If there’s a magic crystal mine, that would be best. If not, how about an iceberg?"

"Energy-rich... Then only the mage tower will do." Lynn pondered:

"Ask MOSS if he can temporarily merge a few meditation rooms into one? Anyway, we all have things to do and won’t be in the mage tower for a long time. Let Serilla stay inside to hibernate."

"Lynn, you guys?" Garrett was shocked. Even Serilla stifled a yawn, her eyes wide open, staring at Mage Lynn:

"Where are you going?"

"I’m going on an adventure." Lynn smiled faintly, glancing at Garrett:

"Forgot? When I advanced to level 7, I was supposed to go out and explore. But because you were suddenly called to the capital by the Queen, I stayed to watch the house for a while. Now that you’re back and probably won’t leave for a year or two, it’s time for me to go."

"Ah..."

Garrett’s left cheek wrote "reluctant," and the right cheek wrote "don’t go."

But there was no choice. Lynn’s path had always been about traveling and fighting, with occasional returns to study. Maybe he was destined to walk such a road...

"What about you two?"

He asked the other two. Mage Norwood waved his hand:

"That fertilizer testing you came up with! Large-scale re-testing, counting totals, finding suitable substitutes, busy as hell. My two apprentices and I are all tied up and about to leave for a while. Who knows when we’ll be back!"

Uh...

That’s unavoidable. The preparations for the great famine were not fully laid out yet, with some aspects still in the confidential stage. Since Mage Norwood and his team were already involved, they had to be conscripted to work. ꞦÁƝŏBЕṨ

Aurora followed closely. This young mage, who hadn’t left the lab since coming to Nevis, looked aggrieved:

"Teacher said there’s a big project that needs all lightning direction mages... We might leave in a few days..."

Well, conscription is unavoidable. Garrett retracted his thoughts and seriously considered Lynn’s proposal.

After all, compared to scenery, energy was more important. As a pragmatic mage, he felt that with energy, he had everything. But...

He looked around the dining room and then at Serilla:

"How big will you be after your advancement? If we merge the first floor of the mage tower, will it be enough for you to sleep?"

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Serilla hesitated for a while. Then, very slowly, she shook her head:

"Maybe not enough...? If I grow to adulthood, my body length will be 20 to 25 meters, with a 9 to 11 meter long tail. Even if I curl my neck and tail..."

"Then let’s not consider this!"

Garrett immediately made a decision.

The hibernation nest must be spacious enough for her to stretch comfortably, not curl up miserably. Sleeping all curled up is too painful!

Besides being spacious, it must be quiet, private, and safe. Could he rent the star dome now and prohibit entry for a year and a half?

Forget it, even if he could, he couldn’t afford it...

Confirmed, poor people shouldn’t raise dragons. Garrett scratched his head in pain:

"Serilla, wait a moment... I’ll go ask the teacher if there’s a suitable place nearby for you to hibernate..."

Garrett went to find his teacher the next day, to no avail. The teacher was either shopping with Mr. Gold Dragon or on some mission, in any case, he wasn’t there.

He went again the third day, still not there. Not only was the teacher absent, but Senior Brother Byerbo and Senior Sister Philby were also gone. The laboratory on the 375th floor of the Tower of Heaven was half-empty.

Garrett: ...

So, whom should I ask? Ask another legendary mage?

Which legendary mage would be willing to answer his questions? Not to mention, it wasn’t easy to meet a legendary mage.

"Garrett, don’t bother." That night, seeing Garrett looking troubled and unsure of how to speak, Serilla comforted him understandingly:

"At worst, I’ll go home to hibernate. It’s just sleeping, the conditions at home are always suitable. I’ll come find you after I wake up!"

"No!"

"Don’t!"

"We’ll think of something!"

Mage Norwood, Lynn, and Aurora all opposed simultaneously. What a joke, if Miss Silver Dragon went home, who knew when she’d come back? She might sleep through and feel Garrett’s place wasn’t fun and not return!

She might want to explore other places first!

Maybe some other dragon would visit her, and they’d travel elsewhere together?

Dragon’s sense of time differed vastly from humans. They couldn’t hope for her to "wake up and come find you!"

"I’ll ask the teacher!" Lynn patted his chest. His teacher, Archmage Edgar, could directly seek help from the Immortal. If necessary, find a nearby, almost exhausted, magic crystal-rich mountain and mobilize a hundred thousand skeletons to dig a dragon nest for Serilla overnight?

Anyway, Garrett’s needs always had priority with the Immortal...

"I’ll also ask the council!" Garrett made up his mind. If all else fails, should I rent her an airship?

Who knows how big the council’s airship can be, if it’s as big as the Zeppelin. From what he remembered, the Zeppelin was over two hundred meters long in his previous life, plenty big enough to accommodate Serilla’s true form...
