lord and his dragon

After hearing Negrim's words, Weiss froze for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"

Negrim didn't speak, and only looked at the eldest prince coldly. Seeing this, Weiss also looked at the latter in surprise.

Of course he believed in the First Prince, but he also trusted Negrim. The changes in the First Prince were too obvious, and after he woke up from his joy, he also realized the weirdness.

The eldest prince couldn't help frowning when he looked at Weiss.The third prince immediately became angry, pointed at Weiss and said, "How can you look at elder brother with such eyes? How many years have we brothers been together, how can you doubt elder brother just because of an outsider's words?!"

"I—" Weiss wanted to defend himself, but the third prince couldn't bear it any longer. He looked at Negrim angrily and said, "How dare you slander my elder brother like this?! I thought you were here to help We are grateful to you, but now it seems that you are just a liar who can only talk nonsense and sow discord!"

The third prince became more and more angry, but seeing that Negrim didn't even bother to look at him, the prince immediately lost his temper, and he pulled out his saber impulsively, startling Weiss, and quickly stopped him , shouted: "What are you doing?"

It's okay if Weiss didn't stop him, but when he stopped, the third prince felt more and more that he was turning his elbows outward, and his anger became more intense, and he said, "You are determined to help this outsider, right?"

Weiss was imprisoned one after another, and he couldn't help it anymore. He pushed the third prince away and said, "Little boy, can you calm down? I know you believe in big brother, and I do the same, but things have to be said Clear! Negrim is not a bad person, why don't you understand?!"

"I'm young, I don't understand?" The third prince was going to explode when he heard this: "He said that elder brother is just an ordinary and vulgar person, and even said that elder brother is not a good person! He said that elder brother was bewitched by others, and I said You were bewitched by him!"

The third prince looked at Negrim again, and said angrily: "He is a spy from the Golden Feather Kingdom. He wants to disturb us while we are tired and seek benefits for the Golden Feather Kingdom!"

After speaking, he took the sword and walked towards Negrim, obviously not planning to let it go.

Weiss really gave in to this impulsive brat, he simply pulled out his sword, stopped in front of the third prince, and said, "I really can't communicate with you, have you beaten the head office?"

The third prince gritted his teeth and looked at him, and said, "Conquer me? Let me conquer you first!"

Weiss gasped, and rubbed his body before fighting with the third prince, not forgetting to reiterate his purpose: "To be honest, my cousin hit you for your own good, at least it hurts if I hit you, if you get hit by Ai Burda, I will be sweeping your grave by this time next year."

"Shut up! You stupid bastard!"

Negrim didn't care about the farce that happened next to him at all. Before, the First Prince would have gone up to stop him and apologized to Negrim, but now he is sitting opposite Negrim with an ugly face, Not a word.

"Don't you have anything to say in defense?" Negrim said, "Or if you change your mind, you can ask me for help now."

The eldest prince looked at Negrim indifferently, and said: "Is there any need for me to explain anything to an outsider from another country? You have been slandering me with nonsense, I didn't ask the servant to drive you out immediately, It’s already for Weiss’ sake.”

Negrim propped his chin and said, "The Blade Empire is incapable of making an antidote. You resist me like this and don't trust me. What should you do about the antidote?"

The eldest prince said: "There is no need for an antidote at all, because the medicine is not poisonous in the first place. Going mad is just a side effect of the brain being strengthened as well. After getting used to the effects of the medicine, everyone will return to their senses."

Negrim lowered his eyes: "I believe it's useless to remind you of your previous position even now."

"People are always blind when faced with benefits, especially when you have lost so much," Negrim asked Abel, turning his head sideways, "Can you feel him?"

Abel nodded. He opened his mouth and began to call something with a buzzing voice. Negrim could only guess through a few distorted syllables that he was probably calling the blue dragon's name.

This is indeed the case - Alan Hans Modix, the blue dragon once told Abel his real name, if the distance is too far away, the name will have no effect except to let the dragon know who is calling him, but if the distance is close enough , The black dragon's call will definitely make the blue dragon can't help but react.

Sure enough, after Abel called out twice, fine ripples appeared in a pond behind the eldest prince, and then disappeared quickly.

But it was too late, and Negrim caught the change in the water and cried, "Here he is, grab him! Abel!"

Abel obeyed and ran towards the pond immediately. However, how could the eldest prince who had changed his expression allow Abel to act like this? He immediately drew his weapon and stepped forward to stop him without hesitation.

This action shocked Weiss and the third prince, especially the former. He knew Abel's strength well. If he was not careful when he did it, the first prince might die here. The latter naturally had a lot of worries. , although he doesn't know Abel, but his elder brother is just an ordinary person, how can he fight with people? !

The two shouted at the same time: "Be careful!"

However, the situation was quite different from what they had imagined. The eldest prince's speed was far beyond what an ordinary person could achieve. With a cold face, he used his slender saber with the momentum of splitting mountains and rubble, and went straight to Abel. neck away—

As soon as the Eldest Prince's action came out, the two of them were immediately stunned. Of course they could see the difference between ordinary people and swordsmen. There is no doubt that the Eldest Prince has recovered his strength, and he has become a swordsman again up!But how is this possible?

Weiss murmured, "My God, my God—he took that drug, he took that drug! Brother!"

The third prince also stayed where he was. He didn't want to believe his eyes no matter what. Their previous hatred and rejection of this potion were still vivid in his memory. They even knew the conspiracy that might be hidden in it. How could his beloved elder brother... It is possible to do such a thing. If the Lord of the Dragon is telling the truth, then he not only betrayed the Blade Empire, but also betrayed the entire continent!

But the facts have proved that what the Dragon Lord said is indeed the truth, even including the evaluation of his elder brother. His elder brother is just an ordinary person. Now, he has even become a despicable ordinary person who cannot resist the temptation.

With the facts in front of him, the third prince only felt that he was slapped several times with his head covered and his face covered. The previous excited reactions of defending his brother had become a joke. He was speechless and could only stand there dumbfounded. , For a while, I didn't even know what to say.

Abel is naturally not afraid of this kind of attack. Even if the First Prince slashes at his neck with all his strength, the opponent's sword will only be broken, but he still wears a collar around his neck, and he doesn't want to break it at all. So he dodged the blow.

The eldest prince probably didn't expect Abel to be so strong, and then attacked him again after being stunned for a moment, but Abel didn't want to tangle with him at all. His purpose was to fulfill Negrim's order and capture Alan Hans .

After getting rid of the opponent in three steps and two steps, Abel jumped straight into the pool amidst the eldest prince's scolding, but the eldest prince who wanted to follow him down to obstruct him was stopped by Weiss and the third prince who were belatedly aware of it.

Knowing that entering the water at this time would not be able to stop the other party, the eldest prince threw away his two brothers, his eyes were bloodshot, glared at them, and roared: "Are you going to hinder me too? You don't want to see me regain my strength so much?" ? Do you guys think it's wrong to take back what you lost, like those guys?"

Weiss and the third prince have grown up so much, and they have never seen such an expression on the face of the eldest prince. He is paranoid, furious, and crazy—he is completely like a stranger, which makes the two brothers unable to bear a fear in their hearts. Well, [-]% of this fear comes from changes in close relatives, [-]% comes from the collapse of impressions, almost the entire worldview has been reorganized.

Weiss stared at the eldest prince, but the third prince couldn't help trembling. He wanted to reach out to hold his elder brother, but he shrank back in fear. He begged: "Brother, don't do this, you know That's not what we mean, this medicine is not a good thing in the first place, sober up! Please, I will never make you angry again, don't scare me like this!"

The eldest prince looked at his younger brother indifferently, his eyes became more and more red: "Be more sober? What do you know? You don't even know what I have experienced. Of course you can lightly wake me up. Who said this?" The medicine is bad? It’s great, it’s brought me back to myself, didn’t you guys say it’s great that I’m back? What? Even that is false?”

"You shouldn't object to this medicine," said the First Prince, "You should pray for its usefulness and accept it, otherwise I will be the next person to be eradicated by you."

The eldest prince twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "But I am no longer the person in your heart, and it is not difficult for you to accept this."

"Big brother-"

The third prince was about to argue, but Abel emerged from the pond. He wiped the water from his face, frowned and said to Negrim: "Sorry, master, he escaped."

After all, Alan Hans was a blue dragon. If he wanted to escape in the water, even Abel couldn't catch him, but at least this time he could be sure that this matter was indeed a conspiracy of the other party.

Negrim also expected this possibility, he exhaled lightly, and said, "Forget it, come up."

Abel crawled out of the pool as he said, and when he walked towards you, Negrim, all the moisture on his clothes evaporated, and when he returned to his master, he was completely dry.It was also fortunate that the First Prince's pond was very clean and there were no fish raised, so Abel's body did not emit an unbearable smell that Negrim could not bear.

Negrim looked up at the First Prince, and said, "I can tell you, that is the blue dragon Alan Hans, so this is the conspiracy of the dragon clan, sober up, First Prince, they will not let any human beings go, you Allying with him now will only become a pawn and a victim for the Dragon Clan to attack the mainland."

When the eldest prince heard this, his face didn't waver in the slightest, but he said: "Have you said enough?"

"I really didn't expect that a gathering of brothers would turn into the chaos it is now," the eldest prince said expressionlessly, "I was seriously offended, and my two brothers turned out to be accomplices, the emperor said That's right, the affairs of the Blade Empire cannot be known to people from other countries, there will always be people who want to take advantage of it and take some benefits."

Hearing this, Weiss silently stood beside Negrim, looking at the eldest prince vigilantly, but the third prince did not give up, pleadingly said: "We all know that is not true, he is here to help us! Brother Wake up, think about your past claims, you can't go wrong anymore!"

The eldest prince didn't even look at him, and ordered: "Guards! Get them out of here!"

The guards in the eldest prince's mansion immediately heard the sound from all directions and surrounded the four people, but when they saw Weiss and the third prince, the faces of these guards were also full of doubts.

In fact, it is not considered status, but it is considered strength. If the four people here are unwilling, these guards will not be able to drive any of them out, but there is no need to force them to stay. What can they do to the First Prince?

Negrim took one last look at the First Prince, shook his head with some regret, and said, "Don't bother, let's go."

The third prince is still a bit unwilling, but Weiss dare not leave him here alone. He has been full of admiration for his elder brother since he was a child. When they came before, the third prince's thinking had already been taken away. Phenomena, if you stay here again, you might be persuaded by the eldest prince with a few words, and hurriedly grabbed his arm and pulled him away.

As soon as the third prince came out of the hospital, he couldn't hold back any longer. He threw himself into Weiss's arms and cried, "How could he do this?! He changed, he went crazy! It must be the medicine, It must be because of the medicine!"

Weiss also felt that what happened just now was too unbelievable. He hugged the third prince, and his steps were all empty. He was also thinking, how is this possible?The eldest prince is obviously such an upright and firm person, how could he not hesitate to betray everyone in order to restore his strength?

Weiss could only look at Negrim for help, and asked, "Is there any misunderstanding? Is the eldest prince possessed or cursed by something? Don't magicians have many tricks like this?" ?”

Abel, the newly promoted magician, was offended and cast him a disapproving look.

Negrim also shook his head, and said: "Not only should he wake up, but you should also wake up. Your eldest prince has never been a saint, he is just an ordinary person. Although he has always acted with integrity in the past, But of course he will also have pressure and longing for things. If such emotions accumulate too much, it will naturally urge him to make wrong choices, so don’t pin the blame on the magician.”

"Your eyes are a burden to him," Negrim said, "Of course he knows what the truth is like, but his overwhelmed heart forces him to believe lies, and now he can only believe lies. "

The eldest prince now seems to have regained his former self-confidence and brilliance, but in fact, this is when he is most vulnerable, even more fragile than when he locked himself in a room without seeing anyone, his heart has not changed, So he has to bear more pressure and guilt than before, and he can only believe the lie because he cannot bear the consequences of admitting the lie.

The potion will drive him from madness to death, and he will bear everyone's scolding and blame.Just like those swordsmen who originally served in the Blade Empire but had to die because of taking the potion, how much respect they received before, how much blame they have to bear afterwards.With the eldest prince, this situation will only become more serious. Too many people rely on him, worship him, and yearn for him, and when these people find that the person they respect is just a mortal who makes mistakes due to greed, there People know what they will do and what they will say.

What's more, there will be plots and attacks from the Dragon Clan in the end. The First Prince cannot admit this. Once he denies everything he has done, the subsequent consequences will make his heart collapse. I don't know what the eldest prince will become at that time, maybe even death will be a kind of relief.

It's not that anyone is manipulating the eldest prince's mind and thoughts, if there is, it must be the survival instinct in his body.

The third prince only had a red nose when he crawled out of Weiss’ arms, and his eyes were wet when he heard Negrim’s words: “I do admire him because of his perfect image in front of everyone, but even without those , he is also my brother! Even if others don't love him, I will respect him, why is he so stupid?"

Weiss obviously found it difficult to digest these words for a while, so he finally sighed and said: "The teacher is right, although we have been with him for more than ten years, in fact, the person who really understands him is you ...He is just an ordinary person, and the previous rebellion that made him lose his power as a swordsman probably also left him with deep scars, the ridiculous thing is that none of us found out..."

Negrim shook his head: "It doesn't make any sense to say these words now. If the eldest prince wants to protect the blue dragon now, he will definitely turn his hands on me, and as the former prince who has won the trust of the emperor and the people, he wants to target me. It's really too simple, go and contact Alan, we have to go to the palace before the eldest prince."

Weiss was taken aback, and said: "I can understand contacting Allen, but entering the palace? The old man doesn't know your existence yet, are you going to throw yourself into a trap?"

Negrim glanced at him and said, "Even if I don't go to the palace, the eldest prince has already stood on the opposite side of us, will he still keep it a secret from the emperor for us? The easiest way to deal with me is to stab me in front of the emperor. With my identity, with his energy, the emperor can drive me back to Gaiden with a little fanfare."

Weiss suddenly said, "Yes!"

The third prince had a flash of inspiration, and said: "I understand what you mean! Let's enter the palace before the elder brother, first explain the words clearly to the father, and try to ask you to stay, and wait for the father to agree, no matter what the elder brother says later , he can’t change his order anymore!”

Negrim glanced at him and said, "If the Third Prince has the ability to persuade His Majesty the Emperor, then I don't have to hide from the beginning."

The third prince: "..."

right……

Negrim said: "I never expected you to be able to persuade the emperor, but if I want to stay, the strength of only the three of you is definitely not enough. After all, the other end of the balance is the emperor plus two heirs."

On their side, there was only the third prince who was treated like a child, an unreliable emperor's nephew, and a nephew teacher who didn't have any real power.

"If we want to balance the balance, we have to get another person to come to our side, which is why I want to enter the palace," Negrim said: "If the current crown prince and second prince agree with me to stay, The emperor won't be able to deal with me for a while."

Weiss and the Third Prince had subtle expressions on their faces.

"Is this okay?" Weiss couldn't help but said: "The second child has a nose on the top of his head, and no one looks down on him. Even if you put the facts in front of his eyes, he won't believe what potion threatens the dragon clan. May I agree with you to stay?"

The third prince was also very reluctant, even a little nervous: "I haven't dealt with the second brother for a long time, he is so fierce."

Negrim said: "But he has a competitive relationship with the First Prince, and I heard that the relationship between the two of them is not very good. Apart from the Dragon Clan's affairs, he may also be out of pure desire to oppose the First Prince or due to a big Prince, come to our side."

When Negrim said this, Weiss and the third prince changed their attitudes and immediately agreed.

"Don't tell me, with the personality of the second child, there is really a possibility!"

"It's very possible," the third prince said firmly, "As long as you tell him how good and perfect eldest brother is, he will definitely object immediately, and then stand on our side for no reason!"

Negrim: "..."

So what kind of image does the second prince have in the hearts of these two people?

Negrim was very speechless, and said: "Since it is feasible, then move quickly. If the eldest prince is the first to be the first, and the emperor arrests the second prince before he sees it, it will not be worthwhile."

The two of them answered yes repeatedly, those who went to look for Alan looked for Alan, and those who prepared the carriage prepared the carriage.

The five of them quickly set foot on the way to the palace, and Allen also learned about the current situation of the eldest prince. He was not in a good mood. After all, it was because of him that the eldest prince lost his strength, and he felt at ease that the other party Without being affected in any way, he easily forgave himself and took the other party's reaction for granted.

There are also reasons for the First Prince to take the wrong path now, and it is a large part of the reason.

Weiss comforted him for a long time before he regained his spirits, and when he was about to enter the palace, Weiss still couldn't help asking Negrim: "About the matter of persuading the second prince, what do you have? How sure are you?"

Negrim tugged at the folds of his sleeves, glanced at him, and said, "Originally, it was seven points, but after hearing your description of the second prince, it is now three points."

Weiss: "..."

The third prince: "..."

Allen couldn't help asking, "Why?"

Negrim said indifferently: "Because your vision is too poor, since you think that the second prince is a bad temper without logic, then I guess he may not be a simple character who is both happy and angry."

The third prince said weakly: "Why, I have been brothers with him for more than ten years, and I didn't notice it at all?"

Weiss reminded: "You and your elder brother have been brothers for more than ten years."

The third prince: "..."

Yes, is that so? !So in fact, he is the only one among the three brothers who is really silly and sweet? !

The third prince trembled.
