"No matter what kind of adversity you encounter, be strong and make it to the end...... If it were you, no, only you, would be able to do that......"

“......？”

It's coming again? I haven't heard it in a while.

His black eyes opened, the darkness that had previously shrouded him all receded, and the noonday sun shone on the dragon on the high platform, he tilted his head slightly, and the little confusion left in his heart was quickly replaced by more rational thinking.

Iroh hadn't told anyone that it wasn't the first time he had heard the words he had just heard in a half-asleep dream.

He could feel that in a moment even longer than it was, when he was still in the dragon egg, and had not even acquired the dragon form, someone was staring at the dragon egg with sad and gentle eyes, stroking it again and again, and telling this passage.

He had a hunch in his heart that this would be related to his mysterious background.

But this was obviously not the time to think about these things that were too long-term, and Iroh looked at the young black dragon who walked in from the main entrance of the castle hall with a big grin, and subconsciously stood up, trying to spread his wings to make himself look taller and bigger.

"Hey, I said...... You don't have to. ”

The young Black Dragon Vis protested, because what Iroh did was undoubtedly an invisible mockery of his size - although Iroh didn't realize it, and maybe even if he did, he wouldn't change it?

Vis could swear to the dragon god that the guy in front of him was definitely the strangest dragon he had ever seen, even if there was no dragon he had actually seen except for the troubled brother of Hillout.

When he first met Iroh, Weiss thought that he was a black dragon in the same form as himself, but the inherited memories told him that no black dragon had a length of more than ten meters in his infancy, and no black dragon had a trace of golden light on his scales and eyes......

Compared to this "deformed" guy, he is really much more beautiful.

Big head and big feet, ferocious face, sharp claws, thin and small black scales, huge skull with distinct water chestnut horns, and a pair of small lilac eyes in the not full eye sockets keep turning - look, this is a typical appearance in line with aesthetics!

"It's necessary. "This is necessary to preserve my majesty as lord of the Icourt Valley, and to deter the young," said Arlo in his characteristic soft, quiet voice. ”

Although I would like to admit it, Iroh does have the demeanor of an adult dragon in his memory, at least the golden pendant on his chest is very eye-catching. However, Weiss was a little depressed when he thought that the other party's real age was not much older than his own.

"So, say what you want, and I'll probably give you a little consideration. ”

With great difficulty, Vis resisted the urge to rush up and teach this arrogant bastard a hard lesson - not because he couldn't beat him, of course, but because a noble person like himself, who combines the advantages of both a black dragon and a red dragon, can't just deal with a savage and ignorant fellow!

"Listen, ignorant young dragons! Not to be outdone, Vis made himself look bigger, although the effort was actually ineffective because Iroh was lying on a high platform, "but all things considered, I, Wes, and Hirkat reluctantly agreed to your request...... Well, propose!"

Vis originally wanted to be strong to the end, but as his gaze met with Iroh in mid-air, he immediately thought of what had happened a few days ago, and the boiling blood inherited from the red dragon's mother suddenly cooled, replaced by the agility inherited from the black dragon's father.

That's right, even though Iroh didn't actually make any moves and didn't show any emotion because of it, Vess's sixth sense told him that it wasn't a good choice to blindly show arrogance in front of Iro.

As for the other day?

I really don't know if I offended the dragon god in my previous life, it was simply the worst of the series of unlucky things I have encountered since I broke the shell!

It would have been bad enough for him and his biological brother Hilcart to know through their memories that they wouldn't be very popular as half-blood dragons, but the next moment they learned that they were actually eggs laid by their mothers in the wild—which meant that there would be no dragons to be their guardians.

The next unfortunate things can be said one after another, not to mention all kinds of bitterness during hunting, not to mention the first time I ventured to a human village to steal chickens and was driven away in embarrassment, just talk about some time ago: I finally found a decent muddy hole by the river in this valley, and the food around is also sufficient, I thought it would be easy for a while, but who knew yesterday-

This bastard, named Ello, actually sent an earth elemental to turn their hole upside down, and pulled them out by the tail like a rabbit......

This is definitely the most humiliating thing in the life of the great, evil, and insidious Vess!

Before Vis could ravage the impudent creature in his heart, a small pile of things fell at his feet. When Vis saw what it was, his pupils instantly contracted to a minimum.

"Well, these are your rewards and compensations. ”

As he said in a calm tone, Iroh fell to his stomach, as if he hadn't been the one who had just thrown out ten large, delicate gems.

"This ...... I...... Aha, of course you should make amends to the descendants of the great House of Hall!" Vis simply forgot all the glittering stones he had collected from the riverbed that he had been obsessed with a moment ago, and took all the gems for himself - by the way, he selectively forgot that Iroh was referring to "you".

Anyway, for the black dragon, this kind of thing is as normal as eating and drinking.

Of course, if it was a young or adult black dragon, it was absolutely impossible to be bought so easily. But firstly, Vis is only a young dragon who is less than half a year old, and secondly, the invisible aura of Elo brings him a lot of pressure - he didn't feel it when he first met Ello, but with the increase in the time of conversation, and the impact of yesterday's events, he unconsciously fell into a disadvantage.

Therefore, this arrogant posture is due to the nature of the dragon clan on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also due to lack of self-confidence.

"According to the previous agreement, the place where you live now is officially yours. Iroh said again.

"Hmph, our territory never needs to be acknowledged by anyone!"

Ves let out a muffled snort from his nose, and although he looked down on the strange-looking dragon, reason told him that at least for the time being, he had solved a big problem.

As a very important concept in the dragon's mind, territory is not only a place to live and a source of food, but also has a very great significance - it is a symbol of status and even strength!

The "place where you live now" by Ieloh is not a cave in the ground, but a large piece of land in the northern part of the valley where the castle is located, almost as large as the size of the territory that Vis thinks he will be an adult......

In that sense, the lucky times for Vies and Hillcart have finally arrived—though they may not have been aware of them yet.

Because when a young dragon wants to establish a territory, it often doesn't have that kind of strength, and the territory that these fragile little ones enclose without permission will soon be invaded by other creatures, and the young dragon will often end up losing the battle to defend the territory - but the exception is those young dragons who live with their parents, and the first territory in their life is usually a small piece of their parents' territory that is differentiated, a very small territory close to the nest.

All dragons in the baby dragon stage have to do is learn how to behave as a dragon and take full control of their abilities, so that they can easily get through this time with their parents in their care.

Baby dragons like Vess, especially those from the evil camp, will face even more arduous training, and they are often facing serious survival pressure, which may come from the notorious parents, and more likely from the loneliness after the shell.

However, their luck is indeed improving, not only did they not die at their most vulnerable, but now they are also connected with a dragon whose strength seems unfathomable.

As for how you can see that Iroh is unfathomable?

Not to mention the size of the other party, just the earth element that copied his own house is definitely not something that a normal young dragon can control.

In any case, the two brothers obviously have more black dragon ingredients in their bodies, and they will not patronize their face like some red dragons, so that they lose their low-hanging fruit.

"Finally...... Let Hillcart come over as well, I think it's time to set up a faction and discuss some specific matters. ”

Iroh's words made Vis stunned for a moment, "Since we are all young dragons of the evil camp, and we don't have guardians, it is necessary to maintain a good cooperative relationship - that's it. ”

"Uh-huh, yes, cooperation. ”

Weiss also had to admit that the other party spoke to his heart. In fact, he also had the intention of coming here this time, but he would never admit that after getting the gem and the territory, this idea was directly left behind by himself.

"Our faction is called the Tokamak. Obviously, I should be number one. ”

Saying the name he had already conceived, Iroh stared at Vis with dark eyes and declared his position as the boss. Of course, there is no objection to the latter - strength is extremely important among the dragon clan, and in infancy, body size can be said to be a direct proof of strength. And, as Iroh said, the difference in size between them is too obvious......

"You're the second, and the one who didn't come is right after you. ”

Looking at the somewhat frustrated little black dragon, Iroh added.

Then, unsurprisingly, he saw Weiss, who had succeeded in taking advantage of his brother, smile in an instant.

In this way, a new faction of the dragon clan, the Tokamaks, formed in an attitude that was almost child's play, was officially born.
