Chapter 6: Iroh's Plan

As night fell, the entire valley was hidden under the black wings of the night, turning from green to dark green. In the distance, in the shadow of a dense dark forest, the old castle stands tenaciously and is the residence of the new lord of the valley.

The sky was twinkling with extremely rare large stars, like a black curtain with countless holes poked out by a hedgehog, and white points of light leaking from the surface seemed to open the sky, where a whole new world was hidden.

"For you. ”

With two soft sounds, the bodies of the archer and the female mage were thrown in front of the little black dragon, and Iroh was like a deep shadow, his dark pupils staring at the brothers who were a little agitated because they had been disturbed from resting.

Creatures that dare to disturb the dragon's rest often end well. If both sides were adult dragons, they might really get into a fight because of this, but the situation is a little more special now.

Not to mention the issue of alignment within the Tokamaks, even the tip of the iceberg of the strength that Iroh had shown a moment ago would be enough to make any wise dragon re-examine the risk of going to war.

Moreover, juvenile dragons tend to cling together, and there is nothing wrong with Ello visiting rashly, not to mention that they are still essentially attached to Ello, the lord of the Icourt Valley.

"Iroh, you don't have any conspiracy, do you?"

Suspicious, Vis sniffed carefully at the corpses on the ground - one without a head, the other broken in two, but it was still distinguishable that they were human corpses.

"If he dares to make any small moves, even now, I can make him suffer enough!" Hillcat did not admit defeat, but his body had already taken possession of the headless corpse first, and in his opinion, it was better to be complete than incomplete.

Moreover, because of the previous "big battle" with Iroh, he was not lightly injured, and his physical exertion was very intense, and at this time, the fresh smell of flesh and blood stimulated his nasal cavity, causing his stomach to let out a roar.

At this moment, Hillcart suddenly understood a passage from the memory of the inheritance as never before:

"Dragons eat many kinds of meat, but their favorite food is humans. ”

And so it was......

Iroh looked at Hilcut, who had already taken action, and Ves, who was about to waver, and also confirmed the theory in the memory of the inheritance.

That's right, especially for the dragons of the evil camp, eating sentient beings is a pleasure, which proves that dragons are more powerful than them, not to mention the dragon's subconscious view that "eating a creature means total possession".

In the battle just now, the moment he bit the archer Tolan to death, and the tip of his tongue came into contact with human blood, he felt an urge to devour more humans, which made his body rejoice and his brain more and more alert.

Iroh is well aware of his nature and is willing to conform to it, but he doesn't want to be completely controlled by his nature.

"I'm not going to count you yet. Eloh replied, "Intruders, five in all, I've already eaten them. ”

"Hmph, it's the cunning Iro......" Shilkat bit the corpse with a tooth-aching sound of tearing flesh, "If I had known, we would have gone together, and I wouldn't have let you have the three alone." ”

Vess shook his head, let down his guard and stepped forward, "Shilkat, I don't doubt your courage, but you should think more about the balance of strength. ”

"The Weak Excuse ......"

Hilcart swallowed the strip of meat and snorted disappritantly.

He's certainly not a muscular idiot, but he's just too lazy to think. As soon as Weiss reminded him a little, he reacted: Ailuo's strength, he is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable, although he is very reluctant to admit it, but now he is probably not the enemy of Ailuo's move.

And these two corpses seem to be standard adventurers...... So, assuming what Iroh said is true, the battle between a five-person adventure team and a dragon of unfathomable strength is definitely not something that two juvenile black dragons can participate in!

Soon, as nearly half of the corpses on the ground were eaten, the bellies of the two little black dragons also bulged significantly, and for a young dragon, one meal could not eat the amount of flesh of a human - of course, Iroh was a special case.

"I think it's time to get down to business. ”

Iroh offered his own meaning.

"Tell me quickly, I'm in a hurry to sleep. Hillcat lay on his stomach, apparently sleepy from the satisfaction in his belly.

Weiss was a little more cautious and didn't rush to answer. But judging by the look in his eyes, Iroh knew he was in a good mood at the moment.

"I read some of their memories. ”

Iroh threw a bombshell without changing his face, "There's something in the castle dungeon, and adventurers are here for it." ”

That is to say...... More people will invade in the future?"

Weiss immediately got to the point.

"I propose that preparations begin for the first collective action of the Tokamaks - to go deep into the dungeons of the Kasbah and find it. Iroh nodded dryly, "If we don't do anything, the invaders will only grow more and stronger, and I don't think we can grow to the point where we have enough self-preservation ability in such a situation." ”

"It's just a weak little worm, I'll bite as much as I want!" Hilcart stood up viciously, and as if venting, he bit off a piece of flesh from the broken corpse with a bone attached to it.

"Come on......" Vis automatically ignored his own battle maniac brother. "At least with our current strength, we can't bite them all to death. ”

"It looks like a preliminary agreement has been reached, which is good. ”

Satisfied, Iroh groaned for a moment and continued, "The best way to get rid of the invasion is to let the adventurers know that this thing is no longer in the castle, or even in the Icourt Valley. ”

"So we find it out and throw it away?"

Vess's eyes lit up.

"That's the way of the weak, if that thing is useful to us, why not just take possession of it?" Hilkat retorted unceremoniously, not knowing if it was inherently incompatible, the Black Dragon brothers always like to oppose each other, but when they encounter a crisis, they will unite as soon as possible - even they themselves don't know why.

"What Hilcart said makes sense," I didn't expect Iroh to agree with the Black Dragon brother this time, "I'm also inclined to add some wealth to the Tokamaks, if that thing can really give us a decent boost." ”

"...... Iro"

Suddenly he couldn't understand this strange black dragon, and he thought that he was just like himself to be a sinister, cunning but safe type.

"It's important to be safe, but it's only one aspect. Iroh looked at Shilkat who still looked proud, but the smugness in his eyes could not be concealed, and now the two little black dragons began to truly focus on themselves, which is good, "Enterprising is also important." Even without that thing, sooner or later the Icourte Valley would have to be explored by adventurers. According to the memories of the adventurers I bit to death, the nearest human village is more than fifty kilometers from the entrance to the valley, and it is not completely safe here. ”

"Moreover, as long as there are adventurers in the world, and as long as the Age of Glory is not over, there is no place of absolute safety. ”

Iroh said this somewhat cruel truth lightly, and turned to the distance: "You can't stop getting stronger...... Your second awakening will come in some time, and I am looking forward to it. ”

"Awakening ......"

Vess's pupils contracted suddenly, and he silently muttered the word, suddenly losing his mind.

The dragon has six opportunities to awaken its power in its lifetime, corresponding to the six stages of the dragon's life, namely juvenile, adolescence, youth, adulthood, old age, and ancient dragon.

As for the fact that many people now subdivide the ancient dragon period into four stages: ancient dragon, ancient dragon, ancient dragon and invincible dragon, it belongs to a later story.

Each time a dragon awakens, their power enters a new, higher dimension, and the first two awakenings are in their infancy, which has a decisive impact on the dragon's life. The first awakening is after the shell, which is the awakening of the dragon's bloodline power, and the second awakening is when the infancy is about to end.

The second is the awakening of the dragon's physiology, after awakening, the dragon will step into the second stage of life - adolescence.

A dragon's juvenile period usually lasts for about five years, and five years is really not a long time for a dragon.

"That guy Iro, who was born early, had no one in his sights...... When I finish my second awakening, I'll make him rethink the order of the Tokamaks!"

Shilkat was also a little excited, he certainly knew that by that time, Iroh would also complete the second awakening. However, adolescence is a stage of rapid improvement in the dragon's strength, and he is confident that he will surpass Iroh at that time!

Or even a little more optimistic...... At the end of adolescence, it is time for the third awakening......

What will your "talent" be?

Putting aside the ups and downs of the Black Dragon Brothers' mood for the time being, Iro, who has returned to the castle hall at this moment, is also quite uneasy in his heart.

The appearance of the adventurer today made his heartstrings tense even more, and this time he was able to completely destroy the enemy, on the one hand, because of the enemy's lack of preparation, and on the other hand, it was also the result of a series of pre-planned plans. Frankly, if the two sides play fairly, Iroh is not sure enough to win.

On the way back, he thought about it, and the current task was not to strengthen his own strength, but to strengthen the cultivation of goblins, and strive to gain more faith points.

Because Iroh knows his own situation well, the dragons have a long life and great strength, but at the price, their progress is very slow. Don't look at an ancient dragon that can rival a large army, but if you spread this strength over a thousand years, the dragon's ascension speed is really too slow.

A human genius may not be able to reach the height of a dragon in his lifetime, but if his lifespan is one hundred years old, and his strength reaches a quarter of that of an ancient dragon at the peak of fifty years old, then he will also progress five times faster than a dragon!

Besides, Iroh himself is not a gifted existence, so it is simply a fool's dream to strengthen himself in a short period of time.

However, don't forget, Ello's greatest advantage is the "Faith Exchange Contract"!

As long as he has enough faith points, he can assemble an army of monsters and crush everything!
