Jason just walked through the whole hall, with slow and careful steps.

However, what caused both Till and Seron to widen their eyes was that the Earth Dragons didn't roar at him in rage, trying to intimate him.

They didn't even dare to approach him which was even weirder when Jason's steps became firmer and steadier as he figured out that he was not in danger.

Looking around he noticed more than a dozen peak-Guardian ranked Earth Dragons staring at him as if they were confused, while their brown-reddish scales shimmered lightly.

Seeing that they didn't approach him Jason couldn't help but feel weird and staring deep into their eyes, he could see traces of both reluctance and confusion within them.

When he reached the end of the hall, where Till and Seron waited for him, he perceived their confusion.

However, instead of saying something, Jason only shrugged his shoulders because he was also unsure what was going on.

After he noticed the Dragon's gazes it was weird because he reminded about the large pack of fox cubs and even the tornado wolf cubs that were overly friendly to him.

At that time, his eyes were using up a small amount of mana, and thinking about that, Jason tried to assume several things.

Either he had an innate amity with all kinds of beasts, which seemed illogical because he already fought several hundred beasts who wanted to tear him apart.

Other than that, there was also the possibility that his eyes turned him more reliable, trustworthy, or something similar to that.

This would at least explain partially, why the cubs foolishly trusted him, without trying to kill or flee from him.

Yet, the mature, more than ten meters tall peak-Guardian-ranked Earth Dragons were something completely different to low-ranked cubs, and Jason began to ask himself what exactly the reason for this was.

He was unable to find the right answer and only his mana eyes which he still filled with dense and pure mana might be able to help him find the answer.

Suddenly, an extremely stupid and suicidal idea established in his head.

Instead of listening to his gut-feeling which told him to disregard this idea, Jason felt the desire to test it out.

While Till and Seron stood several meters away from the three large brown-reddish Earth Dragon eggs, there were three matured Earth Dragons behind them, growling at the two as if they wanted to protect their eggs.

Seeing this, Jason began to doubt that the unhatched Earth Dragons really accepted to become soulbonds.

Nevertheless, without trying to bother about this, Jason approached the three eggs with the presumed Earth Dragon mothers behind, ignoring Till and Seron's tries to hold him back when he passed them.

Both Till and Seron wouldn't dare to act hastily inside the Earth Dragon lair because Till was not confident in defeating more than a dozen Earth Dragons alone while protecting the two youths, even if the sedating poison decreased the dragons' combat prowess.

Shocked about Jason's impetuous behavior, he wanted to rush towards the golden-eyed youth, when he noticed that the three Dragon mothers stopped their aggressive growling.

They only gazed at Jason, uncertain what to do as he didn't seem to be hostile to them.

Yet, when Seron who acted impatient wanted to move, one of the Dragon mother's immediately roared out with mana amplifying her roar.

Suppressed by the terrifying roar, Seron's legs began to shiver as they gave in, only to look up to see that Jason seemed to be completely unbothered by it.

'Was that roar only directed at me?...WHY?!'

Seron felt that Jason being favored by the Earth Dragons was unfair.

Seeing that his friend continued to approach them, without being stopped, he felt jealous, envyious and also anger accumulating within him.

Without knowing what he did wrong or why Jason was better in the Earth Dragons' eyes, Seron could only suppress his emotions and curse inwardly. 

Jason, who was completely unaware of his friend's train of thoughts and complicated emotions, stood already in front of the Earth Dragon eggs.

The Dragon mothers didn't try to hinder him as he continued to step forward, passing the eggs, which he completely disregarded.

He was not sure what he wanted to see, but one question Jason wanted to find an answer to, was crystal clear in his mind.

'What is the connection between the lesser elemental fox cubs, the tornado wolf cubs, and the Earth Dragon to act so placid towards me?'

Before, Jason only thought that it was because the cubs' wild instincts and sense of danger were weakly developed but this changed after he noticed the Earth Dragons' behavior.

'If I compare the three encounters with each other….is there something uniform?' 

Halting his steps several meters in front of the largest Dragon mother.

Looking up, he squinted his eyes to figure out the reason for their behavior, and weirdly enough, Jason knew for sure that they wouldn't attack him because his instincts told him so.

It was obvious that his current behavior was not only suspicious but also suicidal to Seron and Till.

To Jason, however, it felt like he would find out something important if he were to further investigate this situation.

Staring straight in each other's eyes, Jason's golden eyes shimmered brightly.

He noticed that he used up a large amount of the mana which he absorbed throughout the whole trip towards the mana vein and the Earth Dragon's territory.

However, instead of lamenting about this, his eyes widened as the Earth Dragon lowered its head, to the ground.

Its head had roughly the same height as Jason and he gulped down his saliva as he took two steps forward, lifting his hand carefully.

Suddenly, Till and Seron shouted out behind him, but Jason was not able to hear anything when his hand came in touch with the Earth Dragon mother's head.

Without a warning, his mind was immediately flooded with foreign memories, emotions, and thoughts…causing a great headache.

Stepping back in shock, the Earth Dragon lifted its head once again, and Jason didn't know what was going on, with a single thought lingering in his mind.

'This f*cking bullsh*t!'

Turning around, he could only try to cope with the flood of emotions and new memories, as he walked back to TIll and Seron, with unsteady steps, holding his head in pain.

After that happened, Jason didn't speak a single word but he could see envy in Seron's eyes which was not something he expected.

However, after thinking about it for a short moment, it was plausible.

Patting his friend's shoulder was the only thing he could do while trying to arrange everything inside his mind.

He was not sure if he could control the strange emotions ravaging within him if he were to say something right now, so he remained quiet.

Meanwhile, Till only stared at Jason and the decision to prevent the Drake family from forcing the youth in front of him into submission became firmer.

'Is that what the foreign races saw within him?' He thought shocked about the possible issues mankind might face because of Jason.

Even if he didn't acknowledge it, Jason was not only someone he would call extremely talented, but he also seemed to be dangerous if anyone were to get him into their hands, whether it was mankind or a foreign race.

Suddenly, goosebumps covered his whole body and he was only glad that Jason was a good boy, which however also led him to disregard the option to kill him to prevent any further issues.
