After the two lighting torches were extinguished, the cave of the red dragon was pitch black, except for an additional holy object that flashed a streamer of light from time to time.

Suddenly, the entire Bahamut Relic, which had been casually thrown aside, emitted a turquoise light, gradually illuminating the entire cavern.

The light became brighter and brighter, and then the whole holy relic became like a small sun, and just as this light reached its peak, it suddenly concentrated on a point directly above the holy relic, forming a small cyan ball of light the size of a fist.

The holy object below seemed to have run out of energy, and a trace of light was emitted, all concentrated in that small ball of light.

The small ball of light was suspended in mid-air, beating gently as if it were alive.

After stopping for about half a minute, it suddenly moved, slowly drifting towards the embers of Masaka, who was sleeping not far away.

It stands to reason that with the alertness of the red dragon, such a bright light should have woken up a long time ago, but it turned out to be still asleep as if nothing had happened.

The ball of light flew neither fast nor slow, and after a minute or so, it came to the side of the red dragon, reflecting the dragon's scales like a mirror.

Then the ball of light was attached to the side of the red dragon, and then it seemed to pass through it without hindrance!

It was not unhindered, at least several times slower than when it flew over, and after half a minute, the ball of light completely submerged into the red dragon's body, and then the entire cave returned to darkness.

......

In the morning, when the sunlight casts into the cave, Ember opens his eyes and ushers in a new day.

"Praise the sun. The red dragon muttered, standing up and stretching comfortably, then straightening his neck—

There was a muffled "bang", and the red dragon's head made a fierce close contact with the top of the cave without warning.

"Why is it always the head that gets hurt......" The red dragon immediately crouched down and pressed his two front paws to the top of his head, which was in severe pain.

After a few seconds, Ember came back to his senses and found that although the layout of the cave had not changed, it was much smaller than his impression, and now he had to touch the top of the cave nearly ten meters high when he raised his head.

Could it be that I'm getting bigger?" thought to Ember, and grabbed a handful of gold coins from his side.

Sure enough, the gold coins that were the size of their own scales yesterday are now almost twice as small, and hundreds of them can be caught casually.

With a puzzled face, the red chinchilla crawled out of the cave on his waist, and after two minutes it finally determined that either the whole world had become smaller or it had grown bigger!

"Little Blue!" the red dragon roared into the sky.

"What kind of noise is it early in the morning, do you have any quality?" the little snake cursed and came out of the dragon's ears.

After decades of training, Xiaolan has already practiced the peerless magic skill of not waking up when sleeping, no matter what movement outside, and only when Ember shouts his nickname will he wake up as soon as possible.

"Huh?" After seeing the change in the red dragon, the little snake was also stunned.

Afterburn, who took Xiaolan's expression in his eyes, immediately judged that it was not a ghost, so he set his eyes on the cave.

"It seems that it is the problem of the holy object. ”

......

"Who are you?" the dragon king Aristod looked at the strange thirty-meter-long red dragon that broke into his residence early in the morning, and the secret of his sleeping habit of wearing a nightcap was seen by it.

But apparently the strange red dragon's attention was not on the nightcap, only to see the red dragon throw an object in his front paws to the ground and shout: "What kind of broken holy thing you have, make me bigger, return it." ”

Aristol was stunned for a moment, staring at the red dragon for a few more seconds before he spoke, "Ember?"

"Haven't I just gotten bigger? Am I still getting ugly? so hard to recognize?" Yu Yanhu wondered, although he hadn't examined his appearance yet, his voice hadn't changed much.

"Well, the change is not small, but I still recognize you. With that, Aristod tilted his head towards the corner of the cave.

Seeing that there was a huge mirror there, the red dragon walked over and saw himself reflected in the mirror, almost not recognizing it.

The overall change is not large, but the body proportions are already the standard of an adult dragon, the cuticle on the face looks a lot thicker, and the two dragon horns that extend back and bend have grown a lot, becoming almost as long as the head.

Sharp bone spurs grow from the back of the head to the tip of the tail, connected by fins. Isn't this the dorsal fin of a blue dragon?

The scales on his body were all brand new, and there were no traces of the uneven places that had been a little uneven from the battle. The claws on the limbs have also been renewed, like sharp weapons that have just been produced.

After a long time, the red dragon slowly walked back to the golden dragon, and gently rolled up the holy object that had just been thrown to the ground and put it on his back with his tail: "No return, no return." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

The golden dragon grabbed its tail: "You have become a golden subordinate overnight and are you still an adult? Go, follow me to the fourth child to see if you can explain this situation." ”

......

The camera shifted to the library of the dragon clan, and the old bronze dragon Ilios flipped through the ancient books several meters thick, and it took him a long time to close the book, and then looked at the two dragons on the opposite side, one gold and one red, shook his head and said: "Maybe because the Bahamut Relic is an artifact left here by the dragon god, there is no book that records its ability to make the dragon grow overnight." ”

"Does that mean the reason why Ember grew up can't be explained?" asked Aristod, a little reluctantly.

"After all, we are only a thousand years old, and we are still too young compared to the gods who are casually tens of thousands of years old, and it is normal to have something that we don't know. Ilios shook his head: "It's not a bad thing anyway, there's no need to spend that effort to get to the bottom of it." You're right, Ember?"

The red dragon, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly nodded again and again, and hugged the holy object in his claws even tighter.

"I've been sleeping with the holy relic for a few days, why didn't you turn me into a holy place?" said the golden dragon with some jealousy.

"Maybe it's because you're wearing a nightcap, right?" said the bronze dragon, tilting his head to look at the top of the golden dragon's head.

"Huh!?"

......

In short, the ball of light that the Bahamut Relic emitted last night that no dragon could see and only the author and readers could see, caused the embers to skip the decades-long growth period and turn into a thirty-meter-long adult red dragon!

As for the reason, no dragon could explain it, and the Dragon King Elders were all confused, and finally had to put the embers back.

When the red dragon returned to Lingdao, the first thing he did was to put away all the treasures first, and then began to expand the cave.

It turns out that Ember has no talent for engineering, and the expanded cave has no beauty to speak of, and it has not collapsed yet, compared to what his mother dug for herself.

Looks like we should find an earth-based dragon to help with the grooming.

Ember scratched his chin and thought, and soon he had a dragon choice in his heart.
