As night fell, a slight chill followed the autumn wind and penetrated every inch of land on the plain, but it did not infect the small valley.
The bonfire burned blazingly, making a crackling sound. The orange firelight was beautiful and exuded an intoxicating warmth. The members of the Lord's Guard were divided into three groups and were tied to the ground beside the bonfire. They occasionally interacted with each other.
They whispered to each other, but did not dare to make too much noise for fear of offending these lawless people.
Their expressions were filled with surprise and uncertainty. Jamal had been looking gloomy since he came back from being called for questioning by the bandit leader. When others asked him secretly, he remained silent. He just shook his head and sighed, but there was a strange light shining in his eyes.
Duran did not announce how to deal with them, which made the members of the Lord Guard even more restless - at least they would spend this night without food and water, and several members of the team who were injured by Kate's spells were even more uneasy.
He was in constant pain, but Duran was not kind enough to heal his enemy.
Regarding these members of the Lord's Guard, Duran's original plan was to kill them all. This cannot be blamed on Duran for being ruthless, but these guys are indeed not kind people. Not to mention that it is common for them to bully the market, and this encounter
If Dulan hadn't used his might to kill the Golden Swordsman, they might have been treated as prisoners but would have met with death. Ever since he came to this world, Dulan had never planned to have a good relationship with the Dragon Empire - even in
The two dragon girls I met at the Western Mountain Pass didn't look bad. What's more, now that he is the man who inherited the leadership of the black people, how could he be so merciful to the enemy?
Duran's only reason for keeping them was to serve as test subjects.
As we all know, the Dragon Blood Contract brings the Dragon Lord's binding force on his subordinates to an extreme. In fact, there are many good people among the Dragon Lord's subordinates, not to mention the soldiers who were forcibly recruited into the army. But what's wrong?
Under the control of the Dragon Blood Contract, they had to do some things that went against their conscience. Over time, these things became habits, and these people could no longer wash off the blood on their hands.
The only thing that can dissolve the dragon blood contract is a thing called [Hemolytic Potion]. This kind of hemolytic potion was originally created by the seven-leaf scholar Ridnor of the Pearl Tower in the Southern City. It is located in the Blessed Land.
The Academy has always maintained a permanently neutral attitude, and the perpetual calendar in the Pearl Tower has recorded tens of thousands of years of historical changes, including official and unofficial history, and even the romances of the gods. Each of them is recognized by the Academy.
All the great scholars will be valued by Xi Wei and gain the ability to enter and leave the school city - and in the school city, Xi Wei's divine power is eternal, so in any era, the rulers of Feinan Continent cannot control, destroy or win over
Academy City, even the powerful Doomsday Dragon is the same.
The reason Ridnor invented the hemolytic potion was because the scholar discovered the cruelty of the dragon's blood contract while traveling on the continent. The scholar was furious, studied day and night, and finally invented a method that could easily dissolve the dragon's blood contract.
The magic potion, but he had just developed the potion, and before he had time to inform other scholars in the distant city of the formula, he was discovered by the frightened dragons. That night, the strong smell of blood almost completely filled the air——
Anyone who had anything to do with Ridnor's formula was killed, and he himself was burned to ashes by the dragon's flames!
The emergence of the hemolytic agent made the Dragon Empire deeply uneasy. They knew that once this agent became popular, what kind of turmoil it would cause to the Dragon Empire! Even if it would not completely destroy the empire, it would greatly change the current situation.
The absolute dominance of the dragon people. After all, the twelve giant dragons have already left for Chaos, and the strong human beings in the world are also secretly accumulating strength. The successful independence of the three northern provinces many years ago is proof of this.
All it takes is a spark to start a prairie fire.
When he thought of this, Dulan couldn't help but feel a little heavy. Because he was probably the only one in the world who knew the complete formula of the hemolytic agent.
In fact, the formula of this medicine that terrified the Dragon Empire and made human society eagerly await it is very simple. There are only two main raw materials in total, and they are not considered rare materials. It can be seen that the scholars at Ridden University were studying the formula.
At that time, the possibility of promoting the potion had already been taken into account.
"Snake grass, ground moss." Dulan silently recited the names of these two raw materials. He moved his palms, and a handful of yellowish grass was reflected in the firelight. The shape of this grass is like a sawtooth, and the color of its roots is
But it is purple. This is one of the two raw materials, snake grass, which is everywhere in this nameless valley.
The other raw material, ground moss, is a little rarer, but it is still easy to find on the edges of swamps and wetlands. When Dulan was walking in the mushroom forest before, he had paid attention to it and collected a large area of ground moss.
, enough to make many copies of hemolytic potion.
What made Dulan hesitant was that the hemolytic drug was of great importance. If he did experiments on these people, then from a safety perspective, none of these guys could be kept. If anyone leaked the information, unless he
You can escape to the school city, otherwise you will definitely be dead.
"That's all, I'll think about these things later. Anyway, it's absolutely impossible for me to cancel the dragon blood contract on them before killing Andrew." Dulan made up his mind. After all, the contract is two-way. Once the contract on these people is
If the contract is canceled, it is very likely that it will be sensed by Andrew. Only by killing Andrew first can you try to cancel the dragon blood contract when it takes effect.
It's not like Dulan has never thought about releasing this formula to let everyone know how to terminate the dragon blood contract - but the risk is too great. Secondly, once the formula is leaked, the Dragon Empire cannot stop it.
With the spread of the formula, it is also possible that all raw materials will be controlled. Once they completely exterminate these two herbs, the snake grass or the ground moss, then lifting the dragon's blood contract will really become a wishful thinking.
Therefore, until his power is not strong enough, Duran can only keep the existence of the potion absolutely secret - except for himself, no one else can know, no matter how close they are.
So he comforted Abu who was lying on his knees, stood up, and asked Jamal in a low voice: "How are you thinking?"
Jamal smiled bitterly: "With my little ability, how can I help you?"
"I need information, the latest information." Duran said decisively. Although he had worked at Bergen Manor for a long time and obtained first-hand information, half a month later, he also experienced the failure of the teacher's assassination.
Things, Andrew's defensive strength will definitely change.
Jamal coughed: "Actually, I don't really understand..."
"What a pity." Duran calmly pulled out the oak thorn and gently wiped one of the blades: "Actually, you should understand that this is your only value. You are the only one who can change your fate. The rest
Man’s fate has already been determined.”
Jamal showed a sad smile. He was separated from the rest of the team members by Duran, and he had already known it in his heart. Hearing Duran's straightforward threat, the veteran couldn't help but sigh: "Okay, I will
I will tell you everything I know."
"A very smart move." Duran took back the oak thorn.
"If I don't tell you, I will die now; if I tell you, I can live for a while longer. I can clearly calculate this account." Jamal snorted.
"Let me tell you the second half of the sentence: If you tell me, you may not only live a little longer, but there is also a possibility that I went to find trouble with Andrew, but failed and was killed by him, and you will survive.
It's a chance, isn't it?" Duran spoke out what Jamal was thinking.
Jamal smiled coquettishly: "Anyway, life and death are in your hands, you have the final say."
…
Half an hour later, Duran, who had mastered the latest information about Bergen Manor and the whereabouts of the Dragon Master, was finally willing to let Jamal go. He patted his butt, walked to the other side of the bonfire, and asked Erica: "Your sleep technique
How long will it probably last?”
Erica thought for a while, and just when she was about to speak, a confused murmur suddenly came from the side:
"My dear ancestors, can anyone tell me whether the witty Ironhide is dead or alive now?"
