lord and his dragon

The second prince's expression was quite ugly, he looked at Negrim as if he wanted to eat him.

Negrim looked back at him very calmly.

In terms of this matter, both of them are actually responsible, but they can't be blamed. They underestimated the eldest prince. They didn't expect that the other party would save a hand here. Negrim failed to catch the blue dragon ahead of time. However, the second prince had learned the news that the eldest prince had entered the palace this morning, but he didn't take it to heart.

But people like the second prince certainly don't feel that the responsibility is all on him. The two of them fought with each other for a while, until one of them was escorted to the front of the hall by the guards.

The eldest prince glanced at Negrim and the second prince, took a deep breath, and said, "This is the prisoner on death row. The emperor has confirmed the situation of the potion. It can turn ordinary people into swordsmen and give them The ability to learn beyond ordinary people without any side effects is exactly what we need most in the current situation.”

A smile appeared on the face of the eldest prince, which was full of joy and confidence. His voice trembled because of the uncontrollable excitement: "My choice is correct, Father, Mr. Alan Hans did not Trick me, this potion can make us win this war!"

"I don't agree." The second prince said coldly: "Just recovering your sanity doesn't mean anything. My people have already analyzed the ingredients of that potion. What makes people crazy is just a hallucinogenic herb. If I think, I can also restore them to sobriety, but in fact that can't solve any problems, what affects their physical changes is the dragon's blood in the potion."

The emperor frowned after hearing this, he still believed in the second prince.

But the eldest prince immediately said: "So? Is dragon blood necessarily harmful? And I doubt what you said, second brother, 'your people'? Who do you mean by your people? The Dragon Lord and his subordinates? Excuse me." I say bluntly, father, the Dragon Lord is not trustworthy."

The second prince calmly said: "I think you need to calm down your crazy mind. Your words are too aimed at some people. Is it because he threatens you and your companions? It was detected by Sapiantia, it's nothing to do with the Lord of Dragons, he is such a fool, does he look like someone who can use magic?"

Negrim: "..."

He can understand the anger of the second prince's failed plan, but can he not avenge himself publicly at this time?

"It is true that no one can prove that dragon blood must be harmful," said the second prince, "After all, we have no way to get in touch with dragon blood, and we have no way to study it, but I only need to know that dragon blood flows from the dragon clan." Isn’t that all right? We are enemies now, will the enemy help you defeat them?”

The eldest prince snorted coldly, and said: "You have been in league with the Lord of the Dragon. You said that the potion contains dragon blood and it was detected by the great magician, so it must be true? The creator of the potion is here. What is the truth? Just ask him directly."

The second prince also taunted: "It's ridiculous, I, the Dragon Lord, and Sapiantia, three people living on the mainland, you don't believe in human beings with names and surnames, but you want us to believe in an unknown, very Could it be a human being transformed by a dragon from Dragon Island? I said that there is dragon blood in the potion is a lie, but he must be telling the truth if he said there is no? He is the creator of this conspiracy, why do I think he won’t lie?"

The eldest prince glanced at him, and said flatly to the emperor: "Royal father, both of us may lie, but the fact is not, the fact is that the death row prisoner has successfully become a swordsman who can fight, and our front line There is an urgent need for more manpower ahead, I can't think of a reason to give up this potion!"

"What's more, so what if it's a dragon trap?" The eldest prince paused every word: "We can gain strength, and only with strength can we do what we want to do, whether it is resisting or attacking. If we don't have these strengths , we can't even defeat them at all, can we?"

Alan Hans immediately continued: "As a citizen of yours, I have to say that I am extremely wronged. I grew up in the Blade Empire and have nothing to do with the Dragon Clan. I became a warlock because of my interest. I made such a good medicine by mistake. I am completely wronged for the accusation of the dragon lord! There is no dragon blood in the medicine. If you have to say who is related to the dragon clan, the title of dragon lord is not more Suspicious? I don't want to offend this nobleman from another country, but why can't he be a spy of the Dragon Clan?"

"Extremely absurd!" The second prince scolded, "The title of Lord of the Dragon has already been called out a few years ago, so what does it have to do with the current Dragon Clan? It's just a coincidence!"

Alan Hans glanced at the second prince, acting unwilling and daring not to refute.

The eldest prince followed suit and said, "This is a coincidence again? Then why are you slandering Alan Hans as a dragon out of thin air?"

"you!"

The second prince turned his face to look at Negrim, his already huge eyes widened even wider, and asked him why he didn't say a word? !Of course he can't quarrel with two people alone!

Negrim sighed helplessly, and extended his hand to the second prince.

As an aristocrat from another country, Negrim came to the Blade Empire secretly, so he was naturally distrusted by the emperor. He really wanted to speak for the second prince, but the more sharp he was, the more the emperor would not believe him. It would be a disservice, and his title of Lord of Dragons really has something to do with dragons. If you have to ask him why he named himself Lord of Dragons, he really can't figure it out.

However, the result of this debate didn't really affect anything. Negrim didn't worry much about it. Instead, he looked at Alan Hans and raised his eyebrows at him.

Alan Hans' face twisted.

The eldest prince saw it, and immediately said to the emperor: "The situation on the front line is critical now. Regardless of whether the Lord of the Dragon is a spy of the Dragon Clan or not, he has no reason to stay in the Blade Empire any longer. Please order him to be expelled!"

"I disagree!" The second prince said: "No one knows what that sorcerer is, and whether the potion is harmful. Only the Dragon Lord can solve this matter, and he must stay!"

"Solve this matter?" The eldest prince sneered and said, "Although this matter does not need to be resolved at all, even if everything is really as you said, how long has the Dragon Lord been in the Blade Empire? Yue, what did he solve?"

The second prince was at a loss for words.

Negrim sent someone to study the potion, but no one admitted it except him. He also caught the blue dragon, but it was a step too late. He knew that Negrim could deal with this dragon, but others didn't. Nothing he could say would vindicate Negrim.

Seeing that the second prince was speechless, the first prince let out a "ha" and said to the emperor, "Father, now you know who you should trust, right?"

Castella looked at Negrim, who was the dragon lord who single-handedly managed Gaydon. Of course, he didn't believe that Negrim would be as incompetent as the first prince said, but he did not see anything. This can only be explained by the fact that the Dragon Lord is really not helping them.

Now that the dragons are attacking the mainland, the front line is tight. Just like what the First Prince said, they really need the help of potions. Whether the dragon lords are spies of the dragons or simply want to fish in troubled waters, they should not stay in the Blade Empire now.

Castella frowned, and was about to speak, when he heard the second prince say loudly: "The lord of the dragon can't go, I believe he is not a spy, father, I am willing to use this crown prince as a guarantee for him, and tell him to stay. Down!"

As soon as the second prince said this, everyone including Negrim was stunned.

Negrim always thought that the second prince was a very self-interested person, especially after the first prince regained his strength, he was still in a position of competition with the other party. He never expected that he would be so generous and even use the position of the crown prince to guarantee him .

In fact, Negrim doesn't care about the emperor's expulsion at all. With Abel, it is easy for him to go anywhere, and the emperor of the Blade Empire can't stop him. In other words, if they can take this opportunity to go underground, they It might be more convenient to do some activities, after all, now that the whereabouts of the blue dragon have been found, Negrim no longer needs the help of the second prince.

Nigrim had already prepared for the emperor to order him to be sent back to the country, but since the second prince was so righteous now, Nigrim would feel sorry for him if he didn't say anything.

Nigrim said flatly: "What is the purpose of my coming to the Blade Empire? No one knows better than His Royal Highness the First Prince. Whether what I am doing is really correct or not is the one who knows best. I am sorry, But I have worked hard, and since you have made your choice, you will bear the consequences yourself."

The eldest prince suddenly looked at Negrim, with an extremely terrifying expression on his face.

"You don't have to target me like this," Negrim said. "After all, if your choice is right, wouldn't it be good for me to stay and realize my stupidity? And if your choice is wrong, how much do I You can also help me fix it."

The First Prince was about to speak, but Negrim said again: "Don't worry about me going to hinder your plan, after all, you have succeeded in covering that guy, a 'healthy' and 'perfect' warrior is standing there , I think His Majesty the Emperor already believes you, doesn't he?"

Negrim looked at Castella.

The emperor frowned, and turned to look at the eldest prince, only to see a hesitant expression on his face.

The first prince's hesitation caused the second prince to chuckle. The latter was still complaining about Negrim's frustrating words, but now he laughed angrily at the first prince's wavering.

Of course, the First Prince would not suddenly wake up and want to let Negrim go. The only reason why he hesitated was because he heard what Negrim said about "remedy".

As always, his eldest brother can only speak nice words, but he has never been able to bear the consequences of his own decisions.

The second prince's sneer was too obvious, and the first prince immediately looked towards him angrily, but before he raised any objection, Castella waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't argue any more, just How about this, the dragon lord will stay temporarily, boss, how much potion do you have in hand? The battle ahead waits for no one, use it up quickly."

The eldest prince immediately said: "There are [-] more. Father can order to summon the general garrisons in the capital and the surrounding area. We can use the potion as soon as they arrive!"

Alan Hans glanced at Negrim, he didn't quite believe that the other party would let him accomplish his goal so easily, but Negrim was not looking at him, but looked at the eldest prince with contempt in his eyes and mocking.

That's right, the stubborn and ignorant first prince betrayed him and ignored his good intentions. How could Negrim's temper want to help him? Besides, Alan Hans also believed in Negrim He didn't know the true effect of the medicine at all, and he probably thought about letting Abel jump out to be the savior afterward!

Alan Hans twitched the corner of his mouth. Soon, he would let the other party know the consequences of belittling him.

-

Although Negrim was not expelled by the emperor's order, he was also scolded by the second prince when he returned to his residence.

"What do you mean by that? You won't stop them? You really won't!" The second prince couldn't understand: "I know that guy is annoyingly stupid, but this country is mine! This continent is ours Damn! You can't just give up my... and your stuff just because he's a fool!"

Negrim took a sip of tea, and put the second prince's words into his left ear and out of his right ear.

Just when the second prince couldn't bear to beat him up, Mai Le ran in from the door panting.

Negrim glanced at him and asked, "How is things going?"

Mailer said with a smile: "I live up to your expectations, but to be honest, you leave me too little time. When I came out, I was almost bumped into by that blue dragon."

The second prince frowned: "What?"

Negrim glanced at him with a smile, and said, "Of course I won't give up my things just because someone is stupid, Your Highness."

The second prince was taken aback, and looked at Negrim with a thoughtful expression.

Negrim contacted Sapiantia again at night. The poor old man was jolted in a magic carriage made by an alchemist, but the advantage was that he could arrive three times faster than an ordinary carriage. Polar Sea.

"The situation in the Polar Sea is not optimistic," Sapiantia said, "Two dragons came ashore again today, and yesterday's two dragons add up to a total of four. Falling, the mages led ordinary civilians and retreated ten miles."

"There is also something that can be regarded as good news. The dragon clan probably did not expect so many swordsmen to gather in the polar sea. One of the four magic dragons was seriously injured. If it hadn't been taken away by two flying dragons, it probably It can be killed directly, but it should not come back in a short time."

This is indeed good news.

"How are you doing?" Sapiantia asked.

Negrim said: "It's not a big problem. After the matter here is resolved, I can bring people to support you."

Sapiantia's face first showed a happy expression, and then it dimmed: "Nigrim, you said that the Dragon Clan still has a black dragon."

Negrim froze for a moment, then nodded.

Sapiantia sighed, and said almost desperately: "We can fight against ordinary dragons, but according to what you said, we can't even hurt the black dragon. We can barely stop ordinary dragons with all our strength. One day the black dragon also came to the mainland, what should we do?"

Negrim looked at Abel subconsciously, and Abel was also looking at him. Under the dim light, his dragon looked extraordinarily gentle.

Negrim and Abel looked at each other quietly for a while, then turned to Sapiantia and said, "There will be a way."

"You don't have to worry about the black dragon, I will take care of it."

Just like many swordsmen and magicians are rushing to the polar sea with all their strength, the garrisons around the capital of the Blade Empire are also gathering towards the capital at the fastest speed. In less than three days, the emperor has gathered for a whole day. An army of 1 people, they got the potion from Alan Hans in advance, and distributed it to the soldiers one by one.

This was a grand ceremony, including the emperor, the two princes, Alan Hans, and Negrim were all present.

The eldest prince was very emotional, his breathing was so heavy that even Negrim could hear him.

Negrim glanced at him, and as expected, he found imperceptible panic from the first prince's confidence and expectation.

The eldest prince is afraid, because the time to reveal the truth is coming. If Alan Hans harbors evil intentions, he will completely expose his true colors when the ten thousand soldiers take the medicine. Before that, the eldest prince can deceive To himself, to make himself believe in Alan Hans, to believe that he was right, but now he couldn't.

He was afraid that he was wrong, he was afraid that he would not be able to bear the consequences, but he could not admit this fear, he could not imagine what would happen if Alan Hans was really a spy of the Dragon Clan, his heart would be completely broken, so He can only trust the other party with the firmest attitude, and suppress his own reason with paranoia.

As Nekrim said, he's just a normal guy, even despicable at times.

Negrim sighed, for the great prince in the past.

The second prince was also looking at the first prince, his eyes were very complicated, with disgust, hatred, but also pity and nostalgia, he closed his eyes, and asked when those people were distributing the medicine: "Do you regret it now? "

The eldest prince suddenly turned his head to look at him, and said sharply, "What did you say?"

The second prince looked at him calmly, and said, "I won't regret it after asking you. If we stop now, there is still time for everything."

"Why should I regret it?" Being poked at his most sensitive emotion, the eldest prince's whole body began to tremble, and he questioned: "I did nothing wrong, why should I regret it?"

The second prince looked at him with contempt: "That's why I hate your self-righteousness the most. From the past to the present, you have never changed."

"Past?" The eldest prince gritted his teeth and said: "My past was much better than the present, and you actually said that I have never changed?"

The second prince said coldly: "Yes, your situation in the past was much better than now, but your spirit and your heart have always been so cowardly and have not changed at all."

The eldest prince was startled, then became angry from embarrassment: "What do you mean?!"

The second prince ignored him and turned to look at the army below.

Soon, everyone received their own potion in their hands. They knew the effect of the potion in advance, and they were full of expectations for the future of becoming swordsmen.Which soldier has no dream in his heart?And soon they will become stronger, and then go to the battlefield to fight the evil dragon and become heroes to protect the whole continent.

But now, the second prince's words are still echoing in the first prince's mind.

Is his heart weak?No, he is the eldest son, eldest brother, eldest prince, and crown prince. His heart should not be weak, he should be the strongest person, he can handle everything, and he can bear the consequences of all the decisions he makes —Can he?

The eldest prince thought of his pain after losing his strength, what he had said to Alan back then, and the decision he had made, did he regret it?

No one knows better than himself.

He regretted it.

He couldn't bear the pain. He wanted to go back to the past countless times to change that decision. He even had evil thoughts that would be good even if Alan died, but because he was the eldest prince, there were so many pairs of admiring eyes Looking at him, he couldn't stand anyone's criticism and disappointment, so he pretended to be calm, he pretended nothing happened, he generously gave up the position of prince that belonged to him, he was so jealous of his younger brother who became the focus of everyone's attention, When he heard others criticize the second prince as inferior to him, he was secretly happy again.

No one knows how depressed he is behind the scenes, no one knows how painful he is when he is treated as a powerless person, and the only quality left in him that can be noticed by others is tolerance and dedication. He has lost his powers, so can only mentally try to be a perfect saint.

But is he really a saint?

No, no, the First Prince's cheeks twitched, his eyes went blank, and he thought, I'm not a saint at all, I can't be calm about everything, I can't even bear the consequences of the decisions I made, I'm just a An ordinary person, a mean ordinary person.

But it was really too hard to admit it, and he couldn't bear any disappointed looks.

It was the same in the past, and it is the same now. He can't bear the life of losing his strength, and he can't bear the consequences of taking medicine. So can he bear everything for the entire Blade Empire and the entire continent?This army of 1 people will soon become his responsibility, can he afford it?

No one went to see the eldest prince, the emperor waved his hand and said, "Let them start."

After the order was conveyed, the well-trained soldiers put the potion in their mouths almost at the same speed. When they drank it in unison, no one heard the first prince squeeze out a word from his throat in great pain.

"Do not--"
