"This, this is not good. According to the agreement back then, our dragon clan must help the elves do what we can every hundred years. Although it is more troublesome to save that human, but..." The old man with the tooth on the left said hesitantly,
"This is different." The cold-faced old man on the right said, "Because if you want to save him, you must use that thing..."
"But… "
"Okay, you don't need to talk anymore. Now that we have reached a consensus on the issue of treating that human being, other things will be easier to handle." The old man in the middle interrupted the discussion of his companions and raised his head to face the anxious look on his face. Fulia said: "You must be Her Majesty the current queen of the elves."
"Please call me Fulia." Fulia quickly replied. She knew very well what kind of existence the three dragon elders she was facing were because almost all the memories of the Elf Queen she had inherited appeared. After seeing the images of the three people in front of me, you must know that this memory can be directly traced back to nearly ten thousand years ago. The three old monsters may be more than 40,000 years old in total. In a race like the Dragon Clan, whose lifespan is directly proportional to its strength, it represents Needless to say, there is no need to go into details. Freya even doubted whether they had reached the height of gods. That was simply an existence that was elusive and unattainable.
"Well, you're welcome." The old dragon man in the middle said slowly: "You must have heard the conversation we had just now. We should be able to cure him, but you will need to pay some price. Of course, this matter There is a reason. Before I tell you the costs, I will explain the whole thing clearly to you, so as not to let you misunderstand us."
"Please speak." Fuliya heard the confidence expressed in the other person's words, and she felt confident, even with a smile on her face.
"If you simply arrange the healing abilities, then our dragon clan is nothing at all. The human light priest should be the most powerful existence in this area, and your elves' moonlight healing is also very good. Our dragon clan is better at fighting. There is a lot of difference in this aspect, and this is a fact." When the old dragon tribe in the middle said this, his tone suddenly changed, and he continued with a sense of arrogance: "But our dragon tribe has a huge advantage that is unparalleled by other races. , that is the strength of the body. Our body can resist and reject most attacks, whether it is martial arts or magic. This also makes us do not need to specialize in too many treatment methods, because there are too few opponents who can seriously injure me. And if you really encounter such an opponent, mere healing techniques will not help at all."
Fulia nodded slowly, because what the other party said was true. In fact, the reason why Fulia brought Ryan to Dragon Island was to place her hopes on the long history of the Dragon Clan. She firmly believed that this was the second largest The race of gods can definitely save Ryan and create a miracle for her.
"In fact, the human's physical losses are nothing at all. His real trouble lies in the dark aura that pervades every part of his body. Any creature exposed to the erosion of this aura for a long time will slowly become corrupted. This is the result of the undead clan. Talent is also the most terrifying thing about them. This level of dark aura is absolutely fatal to humans. He can sustain it until now, and his willpower is pretty good. He should be able to use the method I just mentioned."
"As we all know, the lifespan of our dragon clan is extremely long, but this does not mean eternity. Our dragon clan will still die at the end of our lifespan." The old dragon clan paused slightly when he said this. Obviously these words also touched his heart. After a few seconds of a certain memory, the old man continued: "Every adult dragon with a lifespan of more than 10,000 years can master a secret technique that can purify and forcibly strip away one's own power when dying. , which brings together the essence of our adult red dragon’s power, is extremely precious, and its effect is also quite powerful.”
"Red dragon essence." Freya repeated unconsciously,
"Yes, the essence of the red dragon. It can greatly increase the power of a young red dragon, and it can also create powerful and terrifying artifacts. It can also allow a non-red dragon race to possess the power of the dragon and become a descendant of the dragon vein. ." The old dragon man said slowly: "This is the method we plan to use to treat that human being. Inject a ball of red dragon essence into his body. With his willpower, he can definitely accept and control this purest energy in the world. When he became a descendant of the dragon vein, his body also underwent tremendous changes, so that the dark aura that originally troubled him would not affect him."
"This is also the reason why I asked you to pay the price just now." The old dragon man said quickly: "Although the red dragon essence is forcibly stripped out, it is inevitable that there will still be a weak dragon memory attached, which will affect this human being The power of the future, alas, let me explain it directly. Adult red dragons who can peel off the essence of red dragons are all powerful beings who are proficient in dragon language magic, and this magic is not allowed to be taught to non-dragon descendants, even if It doesn’t matter if he is a descendant of the dragon vein. Therefore, when you accept this treatment method and he successfully recovers, this human must accept the leadership of our dragon clan. Of course, we don’t need him to stay on Dragon Island all year round. We can imitate Kist Iwela Katz's precedent allows him to regain a certain degree of freedom by banishing him for life, but he must take an oath as a constraint on his words and deeds."
"Of course, this is not the full price." The dragon clan elder continued: "You must know that this kind of red dragon essence is very rare even in our dragon clan. Not every adult red dragon with a life span of more than ten thousand years is proficient in the powerful dragon language magic. , and you have to voluntarily strip away your power before entering the aging period. This is equivalent to giving up your life directly. Of course, there are many restrictions, so I won’t go into details.”
"Then... what's the price?" Fuliya asked hesitantly.
"Three requirements. If this human being fails to integrate the red dragon essence and fails, it means that we will lose a red dragon essence in vain. But forget it. If he really succeeds, then he must complete the three requirements. The request is used to make up for this precious red dragon essence. You can think of it as an exchange, because all agreements are established on the premise of voluntariness."
"Then, what kind of request is that?"
"I can only assure you that these three requirements will not exceed his ability, but I can only tell him the specific content because you are not a member of our Dragon Clan." The old man of the Dragon Clan said this and pointed at Ryan with his hand. , said to Fulia: "He can still hold on for a while, you can think about it slowly, we will wait for you here."
Freya nodded at a loss and turned to look at Allendo and the others. Her eyes were full of helplessness. She used some red dragon essence to save Ryan, but it set a bigger trap on Ryan. Can Ryan, who always dislikes being controlled by others, agree to the shackles? But if she doesn’t agree to this exchange, how long can Ryan hold on? What the old dragon man just said made her suddenly feel very powerless, and she didn’t know how to choose. ,
"Although I don't quite understand what the three old guys were talking about just now, it sounds like they are very reasonable." Dwarf King Reynolds said: "What about red dragon essence, what about dragon vein descendants, and three other requirements, I said Fu Liya, what are your plans? Are you really going to agree for Ryan?"
"I don't know, I really don't know." Fulia's voice was so weak. If she hadn't been holding Ryan, she would have fallen to the ground: "I'm very confused right now, what do you think I should do? .”
"Well, although Ryan and I have known each other for a short time, I think he is a freedom-loving person. Freya, don't ask me how to choose. Just think carefully about which one is more important to him, life or freedom. "Dwarf King Reynolds said: "Death is actually not terrible, but if life is worse than death..."
Fulia didn't get the answer she wanted from Reynolds, so she turned her attention to Allendo, who smiled faintly and said, "I remember Ryan once told me about that night in the palace in the past. In the war, Catherine lured him to join the Army of the Undead with even more favorable conditions than now, but I remember that Ryan refused that time. If Delanai hadn't arrived in time later, I think we wouldn't have to consider our choice now."
"Why, why." The disappointed Fulia suddenly shouted out of control: "Why do you all want Ryan to die? I just hope that he can live so that I can stay with him. Is this wrong? "
"Of course, Fulia." Ghalib's voice sounded in time: "I understand your mood very well, but your current mood is very unstable, which is not conducive to helping Ryan." After Ghalib said this, He took Ryan from Fulia's hand, and then gently placed it in front of him, and he sat directly on the ground. Seeing Galibu sitting down, Alando and the others also sat down. Liya stayed for a few seconds, and then sat on the ground regardless of the queen's demeanor. The four people happened to surround Ryan in the middle.
"Let me say a few words." Ghalib didn't care if others came to eavesdrop, because if those old dragon guys really wanted to eavesdrop, he couldn't stop him at all. He just said carelessly: " Fulia, you are upset, those three old guys were clearly blackmailing you just now, didn't you realize it?"
"Blackmail me."
"Of course, do you really think that the red dragon essence is so precious? If so, then it can't be used on Ryan." Ghalib sneered and explained: "Ordinary young dragons are not sure at all. It can control the power of the red dragon essence, but how can an adult red dragon with enough power willingly accept the power of others? This thing has the same sequelae as Delanai's Earth Guardian. Anyway, the red dragon essence is also It’s of no practical use and can only be used on volunteers like you who come to our door.”
"But… "
"Foliya, you actually dare to use the elves' once-in-a-hundred-year wish to treat a human man. Isn't that enough to show your relationship? Every elf queen is a prisoner of love. Freya, if you agree, it will be equal to You exchanged something that is of no use at all for a slave who obeys your orders, but if you don't agree, the Dragon Clan will not lose anything at all. He will definitely take you." There was a hint of determination in Jialib's tone: " If you continue to worry about gains and losses like this, I will simply punch Ryan to death, so that you will not regret it for the rest of your life and he will suffer for the rest of his life."
