Chapter 457 - The Release of Flying Mounts

A dragon egg, and one of such high quality at that! The Darkwing Dragon was an even rarer species of dragon than the Golden Dragon! It was a higher dragon!

Nie Yan’s gaze fell on the black egg. He could feel the living being inside, the strong throb of its heartbeat pulsating through the shell and the powerful energy contained within.

Sure enough, the items Breakspear brought out would never disappoint!

Among flying mounts, bird types were the most common and usually flew at the bottom of the totem pole. Only a few could be considered pretty decent such as the Thunderbird and Phoenix. Some flying mounts were also quite odd and didn’t really fit into any category like the Manticore and Wind Serpent. However, dragons were undoubtedly the rarest. Among them, Golden Dragons were fairly ordinary. Even after consuming an Evolution Crystal, a Golden Dragon could at best reach the upper middle tier. On the other hand, Darkwing Dragons were at the very top of the pecking order.

Some of the top dragons were the Divine Dragon, Onyx Dragon, and Runic Dragon. The Darkwing Dragon was included in that list as well.

A peak existence like Great General Breakspear wanted to hatch and raise this egg to be his personal mount. One could imagine how precious it was!

This was the reward for killing Legendary Necromancer Nadago. Nie Yan naturally didn’t feel the slightest bit of guilt accepting the egg.

Nie Yan carefully took the Darkwing Dragon Egg into his palms.

“I’m not sure when it’ll hatch, but I have a feeling it won’t be long. I hope it can accompany you on your path to glory,” Breakspear said.

Nie Yan could faintly see the outline of the baby Darkwing Dragon through the shell. The radiance blossoming from the egg shrouded the room in light and shadows, making the place resemble a scene straight out of a whimsical dream.

“You have my gratitude, Great General Breakspear,” Nie Yan respectfully said. In the previous timeline, very few players owned flying mounts. All for the sake of getting one, countless friendships were destroyed and teams disbanded!

In his past life, Nie Yan could only look on enviously whenever someone summoned a flying mount and rode off into the air. To the him of that time, flying mounts were unattainable luxuries that could only be admired from afar, not up close. He never expected, past or present, that he would obtain a flying mount of this quality.

Nie Yan was beyond elated!

It was only after experiencing two lifetimes that he understood the true value of a flying mount!

Nie Yan placed the Darkwing Dragon Egg into his flying mount slot. He had no idea how long it would take for this egg to hatch. But when that time came, he would become the ruler of the skies!

As Nie Yan put away the Darkwing Dragon Egg in his bag, several notifications popped up.

Nirvana Flame has obtained a flying mount. The flying mount system will be unlocked in two days.

The system will be updated in three days. This will not affect normal gameplay…

The difficulty of class advancement quests will be reduced by 11%. The drop rate of Freedom Skill Books will be increased by 13%...

...

Nie Yan never expected for such a mishap to occur. Thinking back, he did recall something like this happening in the previous timeline. Since it was only a few system announcements, he had long since forgotten their contents. He only remembered a player triggering the flying mount system, and it unlocking for everyone soon after.

Nie Yan never thought he would be the one triggering the release of the flying mount system this time around.
