'A Glasirith...'
It was a newly bred species successfully formed by the Head Beast Tamer of this Facility. Or, more accurately, they were known as a Glasswright Breeder, a Silver Grade Profession.
The Glasirith was a new breed carefully curated by the Glasswright breeder and it had Bronze potential on the same level as the Bone-Tailed Lizard. The difference was that Sylas still needed to help the Bone-Tailed Lizard return to its origins as a Bone-Tailed Serpent. By comparison, the Glasirith was already at its peak potential.
All of this information came to Sylas freely. It seemed that his Insight abilities didn't just have to rely on existing species that had long historical records, but it could easily analyze any Serpentes in front of him, even those that didn't necessarily have strong ancestral lineages.
Sylas' Will reached out and as expected...
The feeling of danger was no longer there.
The appearance of his Will caused what looked to be a statue to shudder.
**CRACK.**
The outer layer of the statue shattered, but Sylas continued to watch calmly.
Out from within it, a silvery-blue egg appeared.
Sylas reached out with his telekinesis and brought it over. It was heavier than he expected despite the fact it was only about twice the size of his head. Still, the egg was easily over 300 pounds.
The ability of Sylas' telekinesis to work on it properly was limited, so it could only very slowly hover over. But the fact that Sylas could pick up something so heavy with his telekinesis at all went to show just how far he had come.
Soon, the egg had reached Sylas and he carefully took it.
The weight that was heavy to his mind was nothing in his arms. He carried the egg with ease, observing it until he was satisfied that it was unharmed.
He still didn't know what this place was, but the fact he had gained his first Bronze Contract without doing much of anything already left him satisfied.
Sylas forced a contract onto the egg-not that it showed much resistance at all. Then he pulled it into the Hibernation Realm.
'Oh, it will take quite a while to hatch...'
If other Beast Tamers could hear Sylas, it wouldn't be much of a surprise if they tried to strangle him.
This "while" he spoke of was just a single week.
Sylas' One Kind For Me was now at Level 14, which gave his Hibernation Realm the ability to increase recovery by 819,200%.
This was all to say that one week for Sylas was the equivalent of over 150 years for practically any other Beast Tamer!

For one-the most obvious reason-there was no sign of life here.
Second, when Sylas' Insight Path Talent told him about the Glasirith, it mentioned a Beast Tamer, but this Glasswright Breeder wasn't mentioned by name, nor were there any details about them, which was unusual.
Sylas had scanned several Serpentes by now, and if there was a Breeder in their past that played a huge role in the advancement of the species, they were always mentioned.
So how could the breeder that self-created this Race of Serpentes not receive such treatment? It was like they were completely erased from history. Or...
They never existed in the first place.
Instead, the Glasswright Breeder was a Profession that could be claimed here after the City Stele itself was claimed.
And therein lied the final reason Sylas was sure this city had never been owned before.
Usually, when you conquered a City Stele, you had to touch it, open its options menu, and then click Conquer. But for this one... Sylas felt danger the moment his hand reached out.
Of course, it was possible that the dangers being triggered were related to whoever had left this city behind for them to return to eventually...
But Sylas was inclined to believe that the reason there was such a feeling of danger was because the moment he interacted with the City Stele...
He would trigger a battle for it. Much like the Bronze City Stele Quest Ticket in his possession.
