Chapter 489: Chapter 464: Chosen for the Pact (Double-Length)

Also, it was because of this reason that when the dragon hatchling finally chose Chopin, everyone felt quite surprised.

However, Eve, who was watching from the crowd, had somewhat guessed the reason.

“So that’s how it is… Is it because Boxed Meal’s aura is too heavy?”

The players’ souls were not here, so the dragon could not determine their alignment.

But when a being has experienced too much slaughter, their mental state, aura, and behavior would inevitably be affected.

Simply put, there was an aura.

Aura was a very elusive thing. Rather than saying it truly existed, it reflected a certain characteristic of a person.

Perhaps it could be concealed on ordinary days, but at crucial times, and especially when facing some perceptive beings, this characteristic became easily noticeable.

It was the same when facing the dragon hatchlings.

At first, it indeed intended to choose Boxed Meal, but after sensing Boxed Meal’s aura, it hesitated.

For metallic dragons, although they didn’t fear battle—in fact, some were very keen to fight against evil—it didn’t mean they were fond of aura.

The presence of aura didn’t necessarily mean a person was evil, but at the very least… it indicated that this person was definitely not harmless.

And for a newly hatched dragon, this was a drawback.

So, after some inner turmoil, it ultimately gave up on Boxed Meal.

As for why it chose Chopin…

In Eve’s view, it was probably because of his profession.

After all, the birth of these dragons was all related to Eve, and among the players, the druid class was the closest match to Eve’s attributes.

Therefore… for these dragons, which from birth naturally developed a unique attachment to Eve’s presence, a druid player would undoubtedly be more easily accepted by them.

In fact, the druid class, by its nature, was indeed more likely to gain the favor of demon beasts.

Considering all these aspects, Chopin ultimately became the lucky winner.

Seeing this, Eve couldn’t help but sigh slightly:

“It seems… for players who want to become Dragon Knights, druids are going to be the popular class…”

“Also, it’s uncertain, when the priest class fully opens, those players who become priests should also be favored by these dragons, whose bloodlines I purified, right?”

“It’s somewhat unfortunate for Boxed Meal. His strength was already strong, and if he were able to contract with a dragon, his power could reach another level.”

“I guess it’s just his bad luck. If there were any chromatic dragons among these five hatchlings, they would probably choose him without hesitation, given that chromatic dragons are natural battle enthusiasts and are particularly fond of the aura’s characteristics.”

The predetermined contract came to an end. Next, it was time for the dragons to choose players.

And unsurprisingly, Optimist became the first player chosen by a dragon hatchling, and it was chosen by not just one, but four hatchlings together.

Of course, he could only choose one.

So, amid a sea of envy, jealousy, and outrage, Optimist contracted with the most beautiful and strongest Golden Dragon.

After the Golden Dragon contracted, the other hatchlings moved among the remaining players.

They couldn’t fly yet and could only crawl around adorably.

However, they were under Eve’s grace, so when they were unwilling, the players couldn’t come close to them.

Witnessing this, Eve quickly turned away and returned to the World Tree.

She didn’t intend to watch on the scene any longer.

Because her identity was more sensitive, and with the dragons’ sharp perception, they would surely pick up on the difference of her incarnation.

So… to avoid a situation similar to a unicorn publicly worshipping her as before, she slipped away and returned to the Divine Country, watching the “live broadcast” from the players’ perspective.

The players in Feilengcui were growing in number.

And as the hatchlings moved among the players, no one dared to stop them.

Hmm, they couldn’t stop them even if they tried, as the system forbade them from making aggressive moves.

However, even so, the system couldn’t prevent the players from using their crafty tactics.

Many players brought delicious foods such as roasted meat and fruits to tempt them.

Some even brought shiny Gold Coins and gemstones.

Yet, while the hatchlings ate the food and took the Gold Coins and gemstones, after devouring everything and leaving nothing behind, they just wiggled their butts and left…

Leaving a group of players who tried to exploit the opportunity regretting their failed attempts.

Time ticked by.

Soon, the third dragon found its contract partner.

This was a Brass Dragon, and its chosen partner was Li Mu.

Li Mu was also a well-known Great Druid player in the entire server and was skilled in the magic of [Nature Whispering] that allowed him to communicate with other beings.

Moreover, with the help of Little Xian Miao, he had brought a cart of Northeast BBQ this time, and even donned a set of shiny gear, with a pile of Gold Coins sponsored by Dema in front of him.

In the end, he finally fulfilled his wish and signed a dragon, arousing envy in countless others.

It could only be said, a pro was always a pro.

And after the third dragon found its partner, the last two also found their partners one after the other.

The Red Copper Dragon ultimately chose Meng Zhihan, who arrived fashionably late.

This druid player, who specialized in feral instincts, had a talent for transforming into a Winged Dragon, and Winged Dragons indeed shared dragon bloodlines and were of the same origin as Red Copper Dragons.

Therefore, after she transformed on the spot, she quickly attracted the Red Copper Dragon closest to her and signed a contract with it, becoming the fourth player to have a dragon partner.
