HP: The Root of Everything - The Magician

Before leaving the West Coast with Silver-haired Teach, 02 suggested cleaning up the battlefield first, which shows 02's maturity and composure.

Four dragon shamans enveloped themselves in natural magic, flew to the sea, and retrieved the barely clinging black dragon onto the beach. They then used their magic to heal it. Finally, they instructed their respective mounts to keep these ordinary black dragons under strict guard until they returned.

After doing all this, the four dragon shamans followed the silver-haired Teach to a valley on Islay.

On the way, after the dragon shamans removed all their black robes, silver-haired Teach was able to see their faces clearly.

Well, aside from having a dragon arm and an involuntary aura of savagery emanating from their bodies, they are no different from ordinary people.

02 He had short brown hair, with long bangs that covered half of his face, giving him a melancholy and sorrowful air.

03, well, he has a pair of dead fish eyes and looks listless.

04. With her long, black hair flowing down her shoulders and a voluptuous figure, her irritable and easily angered temper, coupled with her long, narrow eyes, gave her a somewhat eccentric and rebellious air.

05. With long, dark brown hair, a pair of bright, sky-blue eyes, and a round, fleshy face that is pink and fair, she exudes a cute, weak aura that makes one want to tease and bully her.

After observing the four men's appearances, the silver-haired Teach casually asked, "My name is Teach—Teach Carl."

"02 remembers their own names, so do you guys remember them?"

The three shook their heads.

“Alright then, in that case, I’ll give you a name,” Teach said, as the three of them looked at him with a hint of anticipation rather than resistance. He began to rack his brains.

Putting myself in their shoes, I know that a name is very important to a person, and Teach didn't want to treat them casually.

A short while later, as they approached the valley where Xia Ke was, the silver-haired Teach spoke to 05: "Qi Luoluo, what do you think of this name—Qi Luoluo Karl."

After saying this, Teach turned to the four of them with a friendly smile and explained, "Although you have sworn allegiance to me, I do not wish to enslave you. I want to be your brothers and sisters."

“My mother, ‘Ma Qi,’ is your mother. You are no longer alone. You... have a home now!”

After saying that, the silver-haired Teach asked 05 for confirmation: "Kiroro Karl, do you accept this first name and last name?"

05 didn't answer, but instead gave the answer with her actions. Kira tried to hold back her tears by pursing her lips, but when she rushed into Teach's arms, she couldn't hold back her tears.

Teach affectionately stroked the tiny little girl, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, in his arms, and while comforting her, he took the opportunity to pinch her round, pink face.

After Kira calmed down, Teach said to 04, "Cybiran—Cybiran Carl."

Upon hearing the name, 04 snorted coldly under the gaze of the silver-haired Teach, then turned her head away with an air of arrogance. But unseen by anyone, her eyes reddened and her lips tightened as she struggled to control her emotions: "I have a name... Mother, did you hear me? My sister and I have names."

My name is Ceberland Carl.

02 Andri Sen keenly noticed Sibyl's suppressed emotions, and then gently placed his hand on her head as usual to comfort her.

Silver-haired Teach, seeing the look in Andre's eyes, understood that the proud 04 Sibilan was not good at expressing herself.

After naming the two girls, the last one is 03.

Seeing 03's expectant gaze, Silver-haired Teach thought for a moment and then named him: "Yeva—Yeva Karl".

After receiving his name, 03 excitedly gave Teach, who was still a woman, a big bear hug. In the hug, 03 Yeva happily said, "Little sister Teach, call me brother. After all, you are the youngest among us."

04 Upon hearing Yeva's words, Sibyl instantly calmed down, turned around, crossed her arms, and waited for the silver-haired Teach to call her 'sister'.

Silver-haired Teach wanted to explode at the shameless Yeva, but remembering that Yeva was a newly recognized member of their tribe, she decided to hold back: "Hold back...hold back...hold back, what the hell am I supposed to hold back?!"

After giving Yeva a sound beating, the silver-haired Teach declared, "You want me to call you brother or sister? You wish!"

"Now that you've entered my Karl family, you should address me as the head of the family."

Amidst Yeva's boisterous and outgoing personality, the atmosphere among the five, which had initially been one of unfamiliarity, instantly became much more harmonious—just the result Teach wanted.

Instead of controlling people through restrictions, we bind them with emotions.

Andri Sen, Yeva Karl, Sibilan Karl, and Kirolo Karl. These four dragon sorcerers joined the Karl family, and their four dragon mounts naturally followed suit.

With these four people and four dragons, the Carl family is no longer a Muggle family, but a Dragon Wizard family, and... a family of magic lineages founded by Teach Carl.

Then, Teach explained the current situation of the Carl family: "In other words, by my generation, the Carl family is down to just me. But now that you've joined us, our Carl family is starting to look like a family again."

......

Silver-haired Teach, accompanied by four dragon shamans from the Karl family, finally arrived at the valley where Shake was after much tossing and turning.

When Andrei and the other three saw the giant black and red dragon egg formed by Xia Ke in the human-dragon training array, they were all dumbfounded.

In their senses, the dragon people felt a surging, powerful magical energy within the giant egg. This magical energy was extremely similar to their own, but it was several levels higher.

This magic is controlled through compression and concentration, held back until it is fully released.

After carefully experiencing the sensations, Anderson and the other three widened their eyes and asked the silver-haired head of the Karl family, Teach, a question.

Teach placed his hand on the giant egg and, after analyzing the situation of Shake inside using a transmutation array, explained, "The person inside is Shake. Her experiment was thwarted by the McFastie family."

At this point, the silver-haired Teach looked at Andrei and continued, "Fortunately, I had an important experimental data file that Andrei secretly gave me, which allowed me to connect the dots regarding the McFastie family's flawed experimental methods that I had deduced."

"Then... I followed my magic formula and corrected the erroneous dragon transformation program within Xia Ke's body."

After saying that, the silver-haired Teach looked at the life magic in the dragon-human formation pattern on the ground, which had been completely absorbed, and said, "Everyone step back a little. I think Xia Ke should be reborn soon."

Just as Teach had predicted, the black and red giant egg made a sound shortly after they retreated. A crack appeared in the seamless shell, which then widened and finally shattered.

Before Teach and the others could go forward to check, a roar that was neither human nor dragon rang out.

The roar caused the air to tremble and ripple, and the resulting shockwave made the silver-haired Teach lose his footing and fall to the ground.

The moment Teach fell, the unexpectedly proud Sibilan stood in front of Teach, shielding the silver-haired Teach from the magical energy waves spreading from all around.

Then Kira arrived and gently helped Titch up.
