��Protected him?�

�Goldie, why do you need to protect them when they are growing?�

Eruhaben�s expression turned odd at Cale and Raon�s question.

�� Didn�t I tell you that I was planning on making this kid go through his first growth phase in my lair?�

�I think you did?�

Cale recalled when Eruhaben had taught Raon many things.

�That was so that I could protect him. My lair is the safest place. As you all already know, Dragons go through a total of three growth phases.�

The body�s plate grows with the first growth phase. The physical appearance does not change as it is only creating the foundations for the Dragon�s future growth.

The Dragon then grows significantly during the second and third growth phases and becomes stronger as well.

�There are growing pains each time. Not all Dragons are the same. There are rankings in a Dragon�s level of strength, and the Dragons that will go on to become stronger will suffer the most.�

�I didn�t know.�

Cale had not known about this.

All he had known was that Dragons go through three growth phases. The novel did not discuss a Dragon�s growth.

However, it almost seemed obvious once he thought about it.

It would be weird if they didn�t have any reaction to a sudden explosive growth.

�I assumed you knew this, but I guess you didn�t.�

�I didn�t know. I am great and mighty, but I did not know this! But it is fine because I learned it now!�

�The little kid has turned weird.�

Eruhaben patted the Black Dragon�s round head as he continued to speak.

�That is why young Dragons suffer a lot when they go through their first growth phases alone, but it looks like you won�t need to suffer.�

�Even I know that! I am not worried!�

Raon�s shoulders moved up and down as he stealthily peeked at the rest of the group. Of course, Eruhaben noticed this and started to smile.

This little Dragon had grown quite a bit. And he had grown properly.

Although he was not like a Dragon, he still grew up like a Dragon. JrNovels.com
