“I also have wares like these.” Roydon rummaged through the jute bag fastened at his hip and began to pull out large round items, one after another. “Dragon eggs! All of ’em are tasty treats even when eaten raw!”

My eyes widened. “Dragon eggs, wow... That’s impressive.”

“Yep. The biggest one you see here is a fire dragon egg. The other ones that’re a tad smaller are wyvern eggs. They’re good raw, they’re good fried, they’re even good boiled.”

So dragons even eat other dragon races’ eggs... Ah, but I’ve heard that some species of birds eat the eggs of other kinds of birds, so maybe it’s a natural thing to do. “I-I see... Out of curiosity, do these hatch?”

“Hm? Yeah. If you don’t keep them cool enough, they’ll hatch right away. Most of these eggs would hatch with only a tiny bit of heat.”

Quite the tenacious little things, huh?

Baris said, “I know of wyverns. If I remember correctly, they’re monsters with torsos around the size of horses, yes?”

It was difficult to say whether wyverns were classified as dragons or not. Even after the point in human history when it was thought that dragons were extinct, wyverns had apparently survived for a long time, and there were tales of these monsters attacking humans. Perhaps that was how they’d earned their infamy as hostile monsters among my race. However, there hadn’t been any witness accounts of wyverns for a thousand years, and humans believed that wyverns had gone extinct as well.

Roydon nodded. “Yeah, that’s the one. They’re also the staple food for us large dragons, and, well, they’re yummy.”

Baris gave a wry smile at the dragon’s words before turning to me. “I have heard of an old legend that says wyverns will become attached to their caretakers if you start raising them as hatchlings. I believe buying a handful of them would be a prudent choice.”

I hummed in thought. “I see. Once they mature, they can carry us around as they fly.”

At the moment, the only resident of Sheol who could travel by air was Melle. The goblins and orcs couldn’t. Wyverns would be great additions to our community—they could serve as lookouts in the sky, and make it easier to travel to and from Yggdrasil’s summit.

“You’re not gonna eat them?” asked Roydon, with a mystified look on his face. “I mean, sure, to each their own, I guess. They’re all fresh eggs only around two months old, so if you heat them properly, I’m sure they’ll hatch in the blink of an eye.” He searched through his bag again and took out more eggs. “Okay, I have one fire dragon egg. As for wyverns...there are thirty of ’em. Well, how about it? Do you want them?”

I nodded. “I would love to have them, but what should we offer in exchange?”

“Hmm...” He paused in thought. “If possible, I want branches and leaves of this Yggdrasil tree. Ah, and do you have any other plant-type stuff?”

“We also have a few types of fruit available.”

“Nah, fruits are usually tiny.
