"The trade is complete!"

Not until that moment did the egg finally set its mind at ease.

Lin Ge opened his eyes, not feeling anything in particular, just for a fleeting instant he had sensed something being peeled away from deep within his body, but it was only a trace.

"It's not complete yet, you haven't released my friends."

"Rest assured, dragons are noble creatures, they wouldn't stoop to human pettiness."

No sooner had the voice faded than a phantom shadow flitted out of the egg, circled around Lin Ge, then flew off toward the area behind him.

Lin Ge sensed Lanya's presence in the phantom shadow and nodded in satisfaction.

"Mr. Egg, how should I address you?"

"I am neither 'egg' nor 'mister,' before you stands the noble dragon Oshana's crystallization of life and wisdom, you may call me Lord Oshana, I can bear it," The creature inside the egg seemed to have no more worries and grew haughty again.
