BXBX NOVEL Chapter 251 A New Companion
I became even more serious as I continued to coat the cracking egg with my mana, trying to avoid mistakes at the last minute because the egg was in its crucial hatching process.
I observed as a portion of the egg suddenly burst open and blue magma erupted from it as the crack on the egg widened and the sound that accompanied it grew louder.
Since the egg was close to the edge of the table and my hands were still on the egg when I first saw this, I instinctually transformed the ground beneath my foot to create a hole so the magma could pour in and then directed the section of the egg that burst open to pour the magma content into the hole below.
When I saw the mana that came from blue magma which was giving out a similar feeling to my mana, I thought I had unknowingly cooked the monster from inside the egg but when I was already thinking of ways to dispose of the eggshell when a sudden sound came from the egg in my hands.
I initially believed that I had unintentionally cooked the monster inside the egg when I saw the magma that emerged from it and was emitting a feeling similar to my mana, but as I was already considering how to get rid of the egg, a loud noise suddenly emanated from the egg in my hands.
The sudden sound may have already caused the person to pass out if it had been someone else, but for me, the sound did nothing more than pique my curiosity.
If I am not mistaken, the sound that just came out of the egg was a little screech.
\'Is it a bird?\'
I pondered this as I waited for whatever was inside the egg to poke its head through the opening, and thankfully I didn\'t have to wait that long before I saw what I was looking for.
However, the outcome intrigued me because I was staring at what in my previous reality I would have called a myth.
The Gryphon.
After pouring out the magma that was inside the egg, I was able to see the baby griffon\'s entire appearance as my hands were not on the egg again.
The baby gryphon has just emerged from its egg, and its appearance reflects its newness to the world. Its bright blue eyes are wide with wonder and curiosity, and its downy feathers are slightly unruly. As it takes in its surroundings, the baby gryphon shakes off bits of shell and other remnants of its hatching, and it wobbles unsteadily on its legs as it adjusts to its new body. Despite its vulnerable state, however, the baby gryphon already exudes an air of regal power and majesty, as befits its legendary heritage.
The appearance of the baby gryphon did make an impression on me, though that could just be me thinking too much.
I held my hands out as I considered this, bringing the slightly slimy bird that was staring at me with curiosity closer to my face.
The bird in my hand really resembled the image of a gryphon in my world, so what I was really wondering at the time was if it was actually one.
It had the lion\'s body, an eagle\'s head, and wings, but if it was a gryphon, why was its egg sold for such a low price? Or did the baby monster emerge looking like this as a result of what I did?
The fact that it had blue eyes and feathers really led me to believe that I was somehow involved.
As intriguing as it was confusing.
I was about to follow the steps the beast tamer stated in the seller\'s real and establish a basic connection—or whatever—with the bird in my hands as I stared at the baby gryphon who was also looking at me with curiosity when a panel suddenly appeared in front of me.
...…..
[Mutated Baby Gryphon Level 1],
A monster with a hint of its ancestors\' blood accidentally happened to have awakened it as a result of an external factor that was perfectly compatible with it, causing it to mutate and leave its low-mid rank potential into a high-rank potential, turning it to be regarded as a high-rank monster.
....
When I read the information on the panel that appeared in front of me, I was able to confirm that the monster that emerged from the egg was a gryphon as a result of my actions.
Since it ultimately evolved to fulfil its potential, I suppose I can view it as a blessing in disguise for both the monster and myself. I ended up purchasing something that would have cost me more than a thousand gold coins and the monster had the potential evolve.
As I considered this, I decided to first establish a basic connection between myself and the baby gryphon, which wanted to struggle at first when it thought I was about to drop it on the table and bite my thumb to draw blood from it.
According to the beast tamer, I needed to coat my blood in mana and rub it on the head of the monster that emerged from the egg, so I did just that.
What I did not anticipate was that just as I was about to name the griffon, a panel would suddenly appear in front of me once more.
[Detected tamed beast],
[Do you wish to link your tamed beast to your primordial chronicle?],
This time, when I read the text on the panel that appeared, I was initially perplexed before I understood.
"Is the gryphon being taken as my item by the primordial chronicle?"
"However, what does this link mean? The beast tamer made no mention of this," I willed my thoughts to link as I considered this since there didn\'t seem to be anything hazardous about it then after this action, a new panel came into view in front of me.
[Name your tamed beast],
When I read the text on the panel, I realised that the beast tamer had not intentionally omitted this information from the Primordial Chronicles that had appeared during the taming process and had instead simplified it to the steps of coating your blood with mana, rubbing it on the baby monster\'s head, and naming it.
As I considered this, I turned to face the baby gryphon in my hands and began thinking about a name for it. However, after considering various options for a while, I ultimately chose to call the gryphon Blue because of its blue eyes and feathers.
"As expected, my naming sense is impeccable."
With this in mind, I turned to the panel in front of me and gave the primordial chronicle my preferred name.
I expected the panel to go away after that, but instead, another one appeared, and this time it was my status.
….
[Status],
[Name: Ace Blaze [Yet to evolve]],
[Age: 17],
[Race: Human [Homo sapiens]],
[Affiliation: None],
[Level: 25[37[46%]],
[Job: [Alchemist lord[79.3%]],

[Ranking: Not on the rank board],
[Title: Advanced Alchemist[Active]],
[Tamed Beast: Blue[Level 1]],
...…
My status didn\'t change all that much, aside from the addition of a new section at the panel\'s bottom, but this confused me quite a bit.
For one thing, shouldn\'t a new section only appears when there is a status update, so why did one appear now?
I know why, but is it that it\'s not necessary for the primordial chronicle status to always update before a new section appears, and there are actually hidden sections of the status that require certain conditions to activate, such as the one that just appeared because I tamed a beast.
Hmmm.
This theory is probably true, but it is also absolutely worthless because there was no reason to be concerned about it and instead just leave it to chance like what just happened to me if one did not even know how to activate other sections on the status or even what those other sections are.
As I was considering this, I turned to face the baby gryphon, which was shifting its gaze between me and the eggshells on the table.
I\'m not sure why, but ever since I gave blue a name and the primordial chronicle confirmed it, I\'ve been able to feel what it "feels," and right now, as blue kept switching his gaze between me and the eggshells on the table, what I "felt" from blue was hunger.
Seeing this, I slowly placed blue beside the eggshell remnants he came from and immediately, blue began wolfing down the eggshells, and while I wondered if the eggshells were truly that delicious due to a strange feeling I assumed was happiness from blue, I didn\'t attempt to eat it.
I referred to it as a strange feeling because I had just realised that I shared the same emotions that blue was experiencing, and they were quite uncomfortable.
Uncomfortable in the sense that I couldn\'t adjust to the ability to feel, so as I considered whether blue was a male or female gryphon, I tried to adjust to the emotions that blue was giving me, and as I did so, I called out the primordial chronicle in my head.

Immediately after my status panel appeared in front of me, I focused on the new section and wondered if it would show more information, which it did as another panel appeared beside me.
