After hearing this, Lynd was also greatly surprised and fell into contemplation. He did not ask Jon another question until he took the elevator back to the castle.
Upon returning to the castle, Lynd went directly to the Dragon Nest. The people who were caring for the Dragon Egg in the Dragon Nest were all gathered on the plaza platform, whispering and their faces filled with fear. Upon seeing Lynd, they immediately closed their mouths and lowered their heads.
Lynd walked towards the hatchery, but then suddenly stopped, turned his head, and said to the Dragon Servants who were looking after the Dragon Egg and Longwing Dragon hatchlings, "I don't want to hear you spreading any nonsense outside to give idle people something to talk about. Do you understand?"
"Yes, My Lord." Everyone immediately lowered their heads and responded. They knew they had to control their mouths, otherwise, the bottomless mine shaft would become their eternal resting place.
Upon entering the Dragon Nest, Lynd immediately saw the neatly arranged corpses of Longwing Dragon hatchlings indoors. Just as Jon had said, the Longwing Dragon hatchlings whose wings had not yet grown were all dead from falling. For Longwing Dragons to be scared to the point of suicide, it could only be a Dragon more ferocious than a Longwing Dragon.
Upon entering the hatchery, Lynd unexpectedly saw Glory squatting next to that Dragon Egg, staring at it.
Glory rarely stayed in the castle anymore. Normally, it would wander in the Red Mountains. According to those who saw it, it was accompanied by many Shadow Lynxes, feeling as if a Shadow Lynx group had formed. Those who understood Shadow Lynxes knew that Shadow Lynxes are solitary animals, rarely living in groups unless for mating or breeding. Now, Glory seemed to have broken this rule.
In other places, a group of Shadow Lynxes might be a huge threat, but in the Red Mountains, Glory's Shadow Lynx group was more beneficial than harmful, because it could actively help Lynd clear out bandit groups hiding in the deep mountains, thereby making the Red Mountains the safest place in all of Westeros.
"How do you have time to come over? Where are your subordinates?" Having not seen Glory for several months, Lynd also felt a deep longing. He temporarily ignored the Dragon Egg, reaching out to stroke Glory's head.
Glory also affectionately rubbed its head against Lynd's body, then turned to look at the Dragon Egg, and then let out a cry towards Lynd.
It made a beast's cry, but Lynd could understand its meaning: it was saying that a terrifying fellow was being nurtured inside this egg.
Lynd was also somewhat surprised by this, because Glory had seen Glutton, and its description of the enormous Glutton at the time was merely "a big fellow," without using phrases like "terrifying fellow." But now, it used the adjective "terrifying" for a Dragon Egg that hadn't even hatched, showing how much Glory feared this Dragon Egg.
However, Lynd soon understood why Glory had such a thought, because just now, right before Lynd's eyes, the Dragon Egg suddenly moved, and a powerful aura of an ancient beast emanated from the Dragon Egg. Even Lynd felt a trace of fear at that moment, and even had an urge to immediately kneel down, and Glory was even worse, directly prostrating itself on the ground.
This aura quickly spread out, affecting the people outside as well. They all involuntarily knelt down, as if surrendering to some supreme being.
