Shuttling his eyes between the three beasts lying in front of him, Lee used the View skill and the beasts' stats were disclosed to him. D and Hudson were able to see the screen, and they immediately walked to him.

"Are they triplets? Just asking."
Hudson expressed his confusion on the beasts' alike stats. D gave an assumption that this could be the initial stats of a Wyvern after the reconstruction. The age shown as Newborn should be related to the reconstruction process.
The 'Grand' in the names piqued the trio's interest. Until now, they have known about Greater and Lesser versions of Wyverns, but not anything like this. Lee guessed that this addition is due to the unique racial title.
What made him raise his brows were the stats. The beasts are as intelligent as Lee but surpassed him in Health, Power and Dexterity.
"If a Newborn Draconic Wyvern is this powerful, I wonder what an adult would be like?"
D sounded his doubt and Lee nodded in agreement with his eyes still fixed on the stats. He had an urge to take these three 'kids' for a round around the mansion, but a second thought restricted his actions.
The screen vanished with a gentle wave of his hands, and Lee walked to the beasts. Due to the lack of Immunity, he found it difficult to even stand near the scorching and freezing scales of the Fire and Ice Wyverns.
The Wind affinity Wyvern emitted a sense of peacefulness and stability. It was if that beast was not even existing there. The air around it was different and it was the most calm-headed among the three.
After taking a few steps back to see the beasts as a whole, Lee pointed at the Wyverns starting from the Fire affinity one, and then to the Ice affinity and the Wind affinity at last.
"I name you as Pyro, you as Cryo and you will be Aero."
A screen immediately popped up and conveyed that the Grand Wyverns' names had been changed. Lee dismissed the panel and looked at the beasts. Upon receiving names, those three stared at each other and giggled in their own way.
'Go and take rest.'
Lee spoke in his mind and the beasts retreated by two steps before lying down on the grassy land. With their long tails circling their bodies, Wyverns quickly slipped into slumber.
Turning to D, he asked-
"Are there any possibility that these beasts could sense the presence of Law Fragments?"
Lee glanced at Hudson as he spoke, and invited his answer too.
"The Wyverns could resonate with the presence of the Law Fragments, but it will not be any time soon. Let these beasts grow and develop in their elemental proficiency." (D)
"Looks like the Essence consumption is about to increase beyond twice or thrice." (Hudson)
"True." (Lee)
D had already informed the other two about the appetite of the Wyverns. After a successful reconstruction, these beasts tend to eat enormous quantities of food.
Since their age is also shown as Newborn, Hudson raised the possibility where the Essence reserve might not suffice to quench their hunger before reaching maturity.
A few minutes later, the next hourly notification popped up.
=====
7 AM.
13,500 Essence harvested.
=====
'Oh, is it already 7 in the morning?'
Lee did not give much attention to the previous notification and thus had no idea about the time. He had some other plans to proceed with.
Glancing at the screen, he understood that 4.5 million Essence had already disappeared from the reserve. Turning around, his eyes met the three Wyverns chewing down small mounds of meat and food. Hudson was standing next to them and refilled their portions accordingly.
"Don't worry about the Essence usage. We are trying our best to decrease the consumption, and have adopted a few measures for it.
Notice the difference between the three piles of flesh?"
D came next to Lee and asked. Lee had already observed the distinct colouration of the three piles of flesh. One had a tinge of red, the other with an aquamarine colour and the third had an off-white hue.
"They are Fire, Wind and Ice Greater Wyverns' meat. It contains the energy of the respective element, which would fill their tummies much faster than ordinary meat. Since the meat belongs to Greater Wyverns, the beasts are expected to mature quicker than usual."
Hearing the explanation, Lee turned to D.
"So each meal session costs 4.5 million Essence alone, right?"
"And these beasts must eat 4 times a day."
Lee couldn't help but agree to the fact as D walked to the rocking chair. Lee did a quick calculation and found that the current reserve would not even go beyond 20 days.
Turning to D, he asked again.
"Anything from the Tubian of Dark Sentience?"
"Nothing. The Diamond Glass Prison is a fortress. Not even Essence could be harvested. But we were able to deduce that the Tubian's stats are all in tens of millions." (D)
Lee nodded in response and then walked away. He casually slashed his hand diagonally and a spatial tear was formed.
"I will go and get some fresh Essence farmlands. In the meanwhile, you and Hudson do something about extracting Essence from the Tubian."
Lee Shen's voice came as disappeared through the portal. the spatial tear was closed and D gave a thumbs up in reply. Though Lee did not see it, the Wyverns saw the formation of the spatial tear and D's response.
"The demand for Essence is increasing. I wonder what this boy is about to do?"
D mumbled to himself and relaxed his soul. The chair rocked to and fro and Hudson came back to the cafeteria after feeding the Wyverns.
"Nothing troublesome, I assume."
