When night fell, a slight chill soaked every inch of the plain along the autumn wind, but it did not infect the small valley.

The bonfire was blazing and crackling, and the orange glow was beautiful and exuded an intoxicating warmth. The members of the Lord's Guard were divided into three groups and honestly tied to the ground around the campfire. They occasionally exchanged heads with each other, but they did not dare to make too much noise, for fear of angering these outlaws.

Their expressions were suspicious, Jamal had been gloomy since he came back from being called by the thief leader for questioning, and he was silent when others secretly asked him, just shaking his head and sighing, but there was a strange light in his eyes.

Duran didn't announce what to do with them, which made the members of the Lord's Guard even more restless - at least they would spend the night without food and water, and the few members who were injured by Kate's spells were in a lot of pain, and Duran didn't have the kindness to heal his enemies.

As for the members of the Lord's Guard, Duran's original plan was to kill them all. This can't be blamed for Duran's ruthlessness, but these guys are indeed not good people. Not to mention that bullying and dominating the market in Pingyue has long been commonplace, if it weren't for Dulan's great power to kill the Golden Swordsman in this encounter, I am afraid that they will only be treated as prisoners. Ever since he came into this world, Duran had never intended to befriend the Dragonman Empire - even if the two Dragonman girls he met at the West Mountain Pass didn't seem to be bad. What's more, now that he is the man who inherits the leader of the black-clothed people, how can he be merciful to the enemy?

The only reason Duran had left them was as test subjects.

It is well known that the dragon blood contract allows the dragon lord to bind his subordinates to an extreme. In fact, there was no shortage of good people among the Dragonman Lord's subordinates, let alone those warriors who had been forcibly conscripted. However, under the control of the dragon's blood contract, they had to do something against their conscience, and over time, these things became habits, and these people could no longer wash the blood off their hands.

And the only thing that can break the dragon's blood contract is something called [Hemolytic Elixir]. This kind of thing was originally from the Southern School City, Pearl Tower, Qiye University, Reed, the post-80s Shaolin abbot Luo Yunei, and even included the affairs of the gods. Every scholar recognized by the school city will be valued by Xiwei and gain the ability to enter and exit the school city - and in the school city, Xiwei's divine power is eternal and immortal, so in any era, the hegemon on the Fernan continent cannot control, destroy, or win over the school city, even if it is such a powerful dragon of the Last Days.

The reason why Ridno invented the hemolytic potion was because the scholar discovered the cruel surname of the dragon's blood contract while traveling around the continent. The scholar was furious, studied all night, and finally invented a magic potion that could easily break the dragon's blood contract, but he had just developed the potion, and before he could tell the other scholars in the distant school city the content of the formula, he was discovered by the frightened dragons. That night, the thick smell of blood almost filled the air - anyone who had anything to do with Rednor's recipe was killed, and he himself was burned to ashes by the dragonmen's flames!

The appearance of the hemolytic potion deeply disturbed the Dragonman Empire, and they knew what kind of turmoil it would cause to the Dragonman Empire once this potion became widespread! Even if it does not completely destroy this empire, it will greatly change the absolute dominance of the current dragonmen. After all, the twelve dragons have long since gone to the chaos, and the human powerhouses in the world are also secretly accumulating strength, as evidenced by the successful reading power of the three northern provinces many years ago.

It only takes a little spark to make a prairie fire.

When he thought of this, Duran's mood couldn't help but become a little heavy. Because in this world, probably only you know the complete recipe of the hemolytic agent.

In fact, the recipe for this potion that terrified the Dragonman Empire and made human society look forward to it was very simple, and its main ingredients were only two in total, and they were not rare materials. It can be seen that when the scholars of Ridno University were researching the formula, they had already included the possible surnames of the promotion of the drug.

"Snake chess grass, ground light moss." Duran silently read the names of the two raw materials, and he palmed his hand, and a handful of yellowish grass was reflected in the firelight. The grass is shaped like a jagged tooth, but its roots are purple in color. This is one of the two raw materials, snake chess grass, which is everywhere in this nameless little valley.

The other ingredient, ground moss, is a little rarer, but it's still easy to find at the edges of swamps and wetlands. When Duran was walking in the mushroom forest before, he had noticed that he had collected a large patch of ground light moss, which was enough to make many hemolytic potions.

What made Duran hesitate a little was that the hemolytic agent was very important, and if he had done experiments on these people, then from the perspective of safety, none of these guys could be left. In case someone leaks the news, unless he can escape to the school city, there will definitely be only a dead end.

"That's it, think about these things later, anyway, before killing Andrew, I will never be able to break the dragon blood contract on them." Duran made up his mind, after all, the contract is a two-way street, and once the contract on these people is lifted, then it is very likely that Andrew will sense it. Only by killing Andrew first can you try to cancel it when the Dragon's Blood Pact is in effect.

Duran didn't think about releasing this recipe to let everyone know the way to break the dragon's blood contract - but it was too risky, and once the recipe was revealed, the Dragonman Empire might control all the raw materials, if not to stop the spread of the formula. Once they completely exterminate the two herbs, the snake chess grass or the earth light moss, then the termination of the dragon blood contract will really become wishful thinking.

Therefore, before the power is not strong enough, Duran can only keep the existence of the potion absolutely secret - except for himself, the rest of the people, no matter how close they are, cannot let them know.

So he comforted Abu, who was lying on his lap, stood up, and asked Jamal in a low voice, "How are you thinking about it?" ”

Jamal smiled bitterly: "Where can I help you with this little ability." ”

"I need information, up-to-date information." Duran said decisively. Although he had been working in Bergen Manor for a long time before, and all he had obtained was first-hand information, but half a month has passed, and he has experienced the failure of the teacher's assassination, Andrew's defense force will definitely change.

Jamal coughed: "Actually, I don't know much about ......"

"It's a pity," Duran quietly pulled out the oak thorn and gently wiped the blade, "Actually, you should understand that this is your only value. You are the only one who can change your fate, and the rest of the people are already doomed. ”

Jamal smiled miserably, he was separated by Duran and the rest of the team, and he had already counted it in his heart. Hearing Duran's blunt threat, the veteran couldn't help but sigh: "Okay, I'll tell you everything I know." ”

"Very clever thing to do." Duran took the Oak Thorn back.

"If I don't tell you, I'll die now; If I tell you, I can live a little longer, and I can figure it out. Jamal snorted.

"Let me help you say the second half of the sentence: if you tell me, not only can you live a little longer, but there is also a possibility, that is, I went to trouble Andrew, and if I failed, I was killed by him, and you have a chance of survival, right?" Duran said what was on Jamal's mind without being salty.

Jamal smiled wryly: "Anyway, life and death are in your hands, and you have the final say." ”

……

Half an hour later, Duran, who had the latest information on Bergen's manor and the Dragonman Mage's whereabouts, was finally willing to let Jamal go. He patted his buttocks, walked over to the other side of the campfire, and asked Erega, "How long will your sleep last?" ”

Erega thought about it, and she just wanted to speak, but who knew that a confused murmur suddenly came from the side:

"Ancestors are above, can anyone tell me whether the witty iron sheet is dead or alive now?"
