Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer

”I suggest you read this book first, and this one too.” Alka said as he directly created two Mirrors in front of Jason.

Jason looked at the two Mirrors in his hands; what floated inside the Mirrors were the images of two books.

”What’s this?”

He looked at the titles of the books.

”Dragon and Warrior” and ”Growth Transformation”

Seeing the titles of these two books, Jason understood right away. In other words, these two books could explain the current situation, and the reason Alka and the others knew in advance was because They had read these two books before.

He turned to the first one, the one whose title made it look like a fantasy novel.

But what was written inside was a detailed explanation and origin of this symbiotic relationship and link between Dragon and Warrior.

This was a contract link that had existed since ancient times, all the way back in the Golden Era.

In that age, dragons were a kind of being with Divinity, but they were clearly different from the very highest tier, the true gods.

You could only say the Dragon Race had extremely strong talent; with their innate Divinity, they could more easily become powerful beings.

And the so‑called Warrior was the title given to those who had formed a deep contract and deep emotions with a dragon.

In the end, it developed into a kind of deep‑link contract.

The reason such a contract existed was mainly because the Dragon Race’s population in that era really could only be described as ”scarce.”

In other words, it was the same kind of contract Jason had signed with Ulu Liwus back when she was still an egg.

It was an extremely intimate contract relationship.

Jason just stared at the description written above.

Like brothers who had grown up together since childhood, or like sisters growing up side by side.

Or, you could say, like a married couple.

Wait, wait.

Reading this, Jason could no longer stay calm—no, this was totally different from what he’d thought.

He’d always assumed it was some bodyguard thing, and at most, if it was really close, it would be like a babysitter or doting dad or something.

So it turns out he hadn’t been doing ”raising a kid,” but ”raising a wife”?

Jason forced down his emotions and kept reading.

This kind of link in the Golden Era was originally a contract link used for brotherly bonds between different Races, or for intermarriage with other Races.

Seeing this, Jason turned his head to look at Ulu Liwus, who was right beside him, staring at him with a pair of big dragon eyes.

”Do you know what our contract link actually represents?”

”Sure I do.”

”You’ve always known?”

”I’ve always known, yeah. Isn’t it in the inheritance?”

”Huh?”

Jason started flipping through the inherited memories that had been shared into his mind. After all, it wasn’t his own inheritance, so up to now he’d only skimmed some of the knowledge and techniques in it.

And since it was something that had been shared with him, it was very easy for Jason to find whatever information he wanted inside.

Things he’d never even thought about, naturally he had never gone looking for.

But the moment he thought about it, he immediately accessed the information on contracts contained in the inheritance, and it was exactly the same as what he had just seen in the book.

He quickly grabbed the other Mirror that was reflecting the second book and began to read that as well.

What was written there was about the life growth of the various branches of the Dragon Race and the Crystal Dragon.

In the Golden Era there were no Growth Transformation mechanisms like Spiral. And combined with the Dragon Race’s extraordinary talent, there was basically no such thing as a Meditation Method; everyone just relied on talent, eating, drinking, having fun every day, and naturally growing stronger.

It was just that in the era Ulu Liwus lived in, there now existed a Meditation Method, and together with the changes brought by the link, it kept pulling her growth speed higher and higher.

Normally, it would take anywhere from 80 to 120 years for a hatchling to grow into a teenage dragon, with some variation depending on the type of dragon.

By that point, a young adult dragon was basically a fully mature individual.

When they were teenage dragons, they needed to leave the family nest or their parents’ lair.

By now they really should be an independent individual.

But the increase in power let the dragon skip over that long physical growth phase, allowing her to grow rapidly without consuming her lifespan.

Because this kind of growth was in itself a mechanism designed to boost strength.

And once they reached this stage, they also gained the so‑called transformation form. According to what he’d just learned through the link, this form tended to lean toward transforming into a mate‑type appearance.

Giant Dragons of the Golden Era rarely used this kind of transformation.

After all, Giant Dragons of that time were so proud that, even though the Dragon Race’s numbers were sparse, They didn’t mind at all absorbing other Races into their fold, but their pride meant they rarely chose mates from other Races.

By this era, it would be the age humans called ”time to start a family and establish a career.”

He read like that for quite a while, and finally finished all the key, important information from the two books that he absolutely needed to know right now.

His whole expression turned blank and dazed.

It wasn’t that he was rejecting it; he just had never expected this at all.

He looked at Alka and the others.

”You’re all terrible, you know that?”

”No, no, no, you can’t put it like that. This is such important information and you never even bothered to find out, while we all know more than you do. And you still claim you care about Ulu Liwus?” Alka shot back immediately.

”How could I not—I just...”

As he spoke, Jason realized he didn’t even know how to explain himself, and could only helplessly look over at Ulu Liwus beside him.

At this moment, Ulu Liwus had already gone over to Chadite and the others, submitting to the ”torment” of several women.

They were rubbing against her and cuddling up to her.

”Your horn is so pretty.” Julia looked at the dragon horn on top of Ulllius’s head. It could already be treated like an accessory; it sparkled like a Crown and was indeed very beautiful.
