I, Valon, am frantically searching for my mother.

Ah ah ah ah ah!

so high!

To be honest, Wayne never imagined that his first real flight off the ground would take place under these circumstances.

In his original imagination, his first flight should have been after successfully obtaining the Chicken Talisman.

Then, relying on the mental power granted by the talisman and combined with the extreme speed of the rabbit talisman, you can complete your first sky show in a free, cool, and even slightly flashy way, and experience the thrill of soaring through the sky at will.

As it turned out, reality gave him a huge reversal.

His first flight was actually carried by his mother!

At this moment, Wayne was being gently held in Alice's arms.

All around were cold, thin clouds rushing by, and beneath my feet were mountains and lands that were rapidly shrinking and becoming indistinct. In my ears were sharp, whistling air currents rushing past.

The intense sensation of weightlessness and speed combined to make Wayne's heart beat faster involuntarily.

That's awesome!

Wayne instinctively shrank his neck and silently nestled his slightly protruding head into the silver dragon mother's arms.

Seemingly sensing the slight trembling and tension of the baby dragon in her arms, Alice lowered her head, her icy blue eyes filled with tenderness and understanding.

She subtly adjusted her flight attitude, making her ascent and turns smoother, using her broad wings to block most of the strong winds coming in, while softly asking:

"Little Wayne... is he scared? Scared of heights?"

"I'm not...I'm not scared!"

Wien retorted almost reflexively.

This is clearly not the truth.

To be honest, Wayne was actually... a little bit uncomfortable.

In his previous life as a human, the first time he truly experienced this feeling of being completely unprotected and suspended high in the air was when Li Shufen took him to the amusement park to ride the Ferris wheel after he turned eighteen.

Perhaps because he was introduced to the freedom of high altitudes too late, Wayne has always been somewhat unaccustomed to the feeling of having his feet completely off the ground and being suspended high up involuntarily, and even feels a bit instinctively afraid of it.

Now that he has become a dragon, although the physiological reaction of trembling has disappeared due to the powerful dragon physique, the psychological aversion to this extreme degree does not seem to have completely dissipated.

Alice could tell that Wayne was being stubborn, of course. But she didn't call him out on it; she just smiled indulgently and gently rubbed her chin against Wayne's head, as if trying to comfort him in this way.

"Okay, Mommy knows. Little Wayne isn't afraid because he's the bravest and strongest baby dragon, right?"

Her voice had a magical, soothing quality that eased Wayne's tense nerves a little.

"However, what Mom wants to say is that even if little Wayne is a little scared, it's perfectly okay."

Alice's voice was as soft as a whisper, yet it clearly pierced through the wind and reached Wayne's ears.

"Because Mommy is here~ Mommy will hold you tight, protect you, and won't let you fall. In Mommy's arms, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

She paused, deliberately drawing out her words, a sly glint in her icy blue eyes, as if she were teasing a beloved little pet.

"And also—Little Wayne, look down, we're almost at Mommy's house!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wayne felt his previously stable flight suddenly change, and a distinct but rather gentle feeling of descent came through, controlled by Alice!

Alice gracefully turned to the side, folded her wings, and like a silver shooting star, swooped down towards a solitary mountain peak covered in snow and whose summit was hidden above the clouds.

The speed was fast, but the movement was exceptionally smooth. The surrounding clouds and mist were broken, revealing the increasingly clear outline of the mountains below.

They arrived.

Alice's mother's dragon's nest is located atop an extremely steep, almost vertical, isolated peak in the Valius Mountains.

The top of the mountain was cleverly hollowed out to form a wide platform. One side of the platform is a vertical cliff, and the other side is a bottomless abyss.

The entrance to the dragon's nest was actually located at the top of the cliff face on the side of the platform closest to the abyss. It was an opening that opened upwards, like a giant skylight!

This is very much in line with the habits of silver dragons—they like to build their nests at extremely high places where they can overlook the vast sky and endless sea of ​​clouds. The entrance to their nests usually faces the most open sky, so that they can take flight at any time and enjoy the pleasure of soaring through the sky.

Objectively speaking, Alice's mother's dragon's nest is indeed quite different from Tia's mother's green palace deep in the forest, filled with twisted plants and the atmosphere of a swamp.

First of all, the upward-opening design really opened Wayne's eyes.

This is probably a characteristic of the Silver Dragon – the pursuit of the ultimate field of vision and a sense of closeness to the sky.

But Wayne soon realized this was bad.

Wayne blinked.

No, how is he going to get out?

He can't fly.

Wayne estimated that he might be able to jump out of the way.

And even if they jump out, they can't fly, so they'll probably have to cosplay as a big shot.

However, Alice's mother is so gentle, so if anything happens, I can let her take me flying, just like piloting a dragon-shaped mecha.

Wayne's attention was quickly drawn to other details inside the nest.

Another thing that surprised him was that the spacious, clean, and huge, beautiful nest seemed very deserted.

Aside from him and Alice's mother, Wayne only saw a griffin.

This was almost unimaginable for Tia's mother.

A glossy-furred, elegant adult griffin with sharp yet gentle eyes stands quietly in a corner of its nest, like a well-trained steward.

Seeing Alice land with Wayne, she immediately stepped forward, bowed slightly, and spoke in a humble and polite tone:

"Lady Alice, welcome home. And this is...?"

Her gaze fell on Wayne, whom Alice had carefully placed on the ground.

"Hmm, no need for formalities, Beneath."

When greeted by the griffin, the silver dragon Alice appeared quite casual and friendly, completely lacking the condescending attitude she usually showed towards her family.

Then, with a rather proud feeling, somewhat like when Comrade Li Shufen introduced her beloved son to outsiders in her past life, she solemnly introduced him to the griffin:

"Benny, let me introduce you. This is my son, Wayne. What do you think?"

"Isn't he very handsome?"

"Oh dear, Lady Alice, I am truly delighted for you to have such an excellent and handsome child."

Upon hearing this, the griffin named Bennis's sharp eagle eyes lit up instantly, and the serious expression on her face melted away, replaced by an expression of utter surprise and enthusiasm.

She excitedly flapped her wings and even stroked Wayne with them.

"Come here, little Wayne, call her Auntie!"

Benny spoke with great enthusiasm, her movements and tone perfectly natural.

"Since it's our first meeting, Auntie doesn't have much to give you. I've heard that you dragons love sparkly treasures? Well then, consider this big gold coin a small gift! Please don't be offended!"
