East of the Icourt Valley.

"Looks like it's time to build this one too......"

Iroh was suspended in mid-air, the earth below visible to his black eyes.

Since Iroh became lord of the Ikut Valley, the center of the valley has become his residence, the wetlands in the north have been owned by the brothers Vess and Shilkat, and the vast area in the south has been the future expansion of Hope, and the arrival of Karamanc four years ago has taken care of the western part of the valley.

Although Noelle is also a dragon, he is more of a scholar, or a researcher, and not only does not seek territory, but even offers to lend a place in the library of Ello Castle.

The only places where dragons are still lacking in their care are in the south and east of the valley.

The south is not in a hurry, after all, the development of Hope Town has been getting more and more on track in recent years, and it is also the only entrance to the valley. Even without the dragon's watch, its defenses are not to be underestimated.

The eastern part of the valley is a bit more complicated: it is adjacent to a large forest with a complex terrain, and although it is hindered by high mountains, it is not very safe for intruders to enter quietly.

In the past few years, due to a lack of manpower, Iroh has had to patrol the area frequently to ensure the safety of the valley.

It's not that Iroh is idle, it's that he really hasn't had the right person for the past few years.

First of all, it must be the dragon that guards the eastern part of the valley, as the town keeper must be able to repel the weaker invaders, as well as the stronger invaders - and in this regard, the individual dragon is the most suitable choice.

It's a pity that the dragon members of the Tokamak faction already have their own town guards. As a lord, it is naturally impossible for Aelo to do the work of a guard, and Noelle is a pure scholar, and he is more afraid of trouble than Aelo.

So Ello's only option is to summon a random dragon follower in the contract.

Then the problem arises again: four years ago, Iroh was still in his infancy, and the summoned dragon must not be too strong. You must know that in the past, Weiss, Hilcart and Karamank were guarded, but it was purely because the situation was urgent, and there was no better way to compromise.

In fact, Iroh is already thinking about finding new faction members as soon as possible to replace the work of the three dragons.

Not long ago, although Iroh had entered his teenage years and was able to summon more powerful dragons, this brought a new problem, that is, the difficulty of subduing!

As mentioned earlier, Iroh's body contains an unknown substance capable of killing the dragon, and even if a restraint is present, it is only to ensure that the substance does not spread into the air, and is still extremely dangerous if it comes into direct contact.

And to subdue the stronger dragons, Iroh was arrogant and not arrogant enough to believe that he could do it without touching them.

Until this morning, Hillcart took Vis to visit Iroh.

Thinking of this, Iroh couldn't help but recall the experience of the morning again. He must admit that he was greatly satisfied.

"Iroh, I-"

When he saw Vess again, the little black dragon's eyes were alive again, although the scales he had lost had not grown, and his bony body proved that he had not recovered, but at least his neck had returned to its normal slenderness, and the sarcoma that once covered his right eye was gone.

"Oh, I'm glad to see you refreshed. ”

Iroh's hesitant words were interrupted by a smile on his part, he seemed in a good mood, "Maybe I should give you a little gift to celebrate your recovery?"

"If it weren't for you, Vis wouldn't have suffered this crime......"

Hillcart was obviously still very unhappy with Iroh's attitude, but it may have been this turn of events that made him think a lot, and Iroh could hear that there was obviously more complaint in Hillcart's tone this time than real anger and disdain.

"Well, when I didn't say it. ”

Iroh was helpless, "But I'm the boss of the Tokamak faction, you have to give me a chance to care about the members of the faction, right?"

"Iroh, you really...... Don't mean anything else?"

It seemed that he couldn't figure out Iro's thoughts, and Ves, who had been nervous since entering the door, finally couldn't help but speak. God knows how much perseverance it took for Vis to make up his mind to plead guilty to Elloh when he woke up this morning.

Although Vis didn't know what the direct factor was that he had turned into that terrible form, he understood that it was definitely Iroh's curse, or rather, punishment.

It's not the first time I've done that kind of "rebellious" thing, and Weiss knows that when he saw Iroh seriously injured, Iroh understood his thoughts. As a result, instead of repenting, he once again planned to take the opportunity to subvert Iroh's position......

Thinking about it from another perspective, Vis believes that he will only be better than Iroh!

It's ridiculous that he has been indulging in some "black dragon's scheme......

If Weiss was human, he could undoubtedly be regarded as a cold sweat at this moment.

In any case, Vis definitely didn't want to experience that feeling that life was worse than death again, and seriously, he would rather die!

This is also the first time that Weiss has experienced something more terrifying than death since breaking the shell.

"What do I mean? Didn't you say it before?"

Iroh blinked suspiciously, took a few steps towards Ves, and was satisfied to see that both little black dragons instinctively began to retreat - well, now that Vess and Hilcart are not too small, they can barely be called behemoths as they are about to enter their teenage years.

And seeing the two behemoths being forced back by himself, Airo still felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

He pondered for a moment, and said in a concluding tone: "The idea of not beating me again in fifteen years, that's all." ”

This is not so much a condition as a chance given by Iroh to the Black Dragon Brothers: after fifteen years, they will enter the youth stage, and it also means completing the third awakening to acquire talent.

Talent is so important to dragons, and I don't know how many dragons in history have turned over in one fell swoop after gaining powerful talents. At that time, it is indeed unknown whether Iroh will be able to defeat them.

Not only that, but there was no punishment, no reprimand, no warning, not even a word of gravity—Weiss felt that for the second time in the day, he had experienced what it was like to live after the catastrophe.

It's good to be alive.

At this moment, the only thing left in Weis's mind was this sentence.

Throughout, neither Vis nor Hillcut said a word of thanks to Iroh, but Iroh knew very well that for the particularly arrogant half-blood dragon, it was a genuine gratitude.

Watching the two dragons leave the castle with complicated expressions, Iroh couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. Of course, this is not only because this instability has been erased - even if it may be only temporarily - but more importantly, the nuclear transformation skills that he and Noeleh have worked on have proven to be effective.

Since the last long conversation between Iroh and Noele about the ruins, Iroh has realized that there may be an unimaginable and terrifying power hidden in his body, and this power ...... You have to be able to control it.

Of course, Noellet's focus will be on helping Iroh better control this power, such as the ability that Ielo has been unaware of, but which is referred to as "nuclear radiation" in the information of the ruins.

The key to the treatment of Vis and Hilcart is naturally related to this.

To be precise, it was the result of the efforts of Iroh and Noelé, who developed an ability called "isotope stabilization", which can make the target immune to the effects of Iro's radiation through an invisible imprint.

Of course, as long as Iroh takes back this mark, the other party will no longer be immune to nuclear radiation.

But this is just the beginning, and Iroh believes that as their research continues to deepen, the hidden power in their body can not only be developed, controlled, but also used in a variety of applications!

After initially using isotope stabilization on Karamank, considering that Karamank itself is very resistant, Iroh was not reassured after a successful experiment. It wasn't until this time that Vis was healed that Iroh was convinced that the skill was truly usable.

Although strictly speaking, if you really want to cure a target who is seriously contaminated by nuclear radiation, you still need some potions configured by Noele, but at least the existence of this skill is indeed enough to prevent the situation where Iroh's favorite subordinates are accidentally injured by himself.

So...... It's time for the next summoning!

A thousand faith points disappeared in an instant, and with the unfolding of the familiar magic array, a new breath of another world greeted him again.

"Random Dragon's Follower Summons (2/6): Summons a random dragon, and the summoner needs to subdue himself. The dragon's strength will be adjusted according to the summoner's own strength, and the cost of each summon will increase. This summoning costs 1,000,000 Faith Points. ”

When the light in the magic array reached its peak, the information in the contract also changed dramatically.

The summoning was successful!

"I hope you have some strength, little dragon. I don't want to take the initiative to come all the way and only get disappointed......"

The moment the light dissipated, a huge green figure rushed towards him, and the poisonous breath that exuded a pungent breath lifted Ello's spirits, but the ensuing dragon language made Eloh stunned.

This dragon is ...... Unsolicited response?

What does this mean, and that random summoning is also related to the will of the summoned person?

Without time for him to think about it, Iroh dodged and gently avoided his breath, but before he could stabilize the isotope, he saw the figure quickly fly towards the forest in the distance.

- If you want to subdue me, just use your strength to fight.

That's what the other side means.

"I see...... I won't let you down. ”

After realizing this, Iroh also flapped his wings and chased after him. You can think about what the other party said after the fight, and the only thing to do now is to let the other party understand himself - the strength of the boss of the tokamak faction!

"I hope you don't let me down either......"
