At dinnertime, the castle's dining hall was brightly lit. A rich, tempting aroma of meat already drifted from the long oak table.
Servants brought out platter after platter of tonight's main course: charcoal-grilled Tier Four Crocodile Dragon Meat.
There were hundreds of pounds of the Crocodile Dragon Meat, cut into moderately sized chunks. It was roasted until the outside was golden-brown and crispy, while the inside remained tender and juicy. The fat sizzled under the high heat, and the aroma was so strong it felt like it could blow the roof off.
This was the remaining stock from the last Mire Crocodile Dragon hunt.
To ensure the rapid growth of Moonlight, a True Dragon, the vast majority of the thousands of pounds of Crocodile Dragon Meat went into its belly, aside from the occasional piece Raylo tasted for himself.
