"No, no, my lord!

The black dragon opened its eyes, its dark vertical almond-shaped pupils reflecting the figure of a panicked lizardman.

"Next time it's so rude, I'll give you a trip in the dragon's stomach first. ”

Iroh straightened up, his eyes swept over the lizardmen who were hurrying to their knees, and threw themselves towards the northern part of the valley. Calculate the time, and it's almost this time.

"Great master......" Iroh reminded the poor lizardman of his lord's dislike of being disturbed, and he immediately bent down as much as he could, making himself look smaller, "Forgive your most humble servant for his rudeness!"

"Say it. Iroh nodded slightly.

The lizardman gasped, apparently the scene he had seen earlier and the coercion of Iroh had made his heart a little unbearable, "Yes, it's Lord Vess who has made things worse again...... Yesterday was quite stable, but I just suddenly vomited and diarrhea, and fainted several times...... Mistress Hillcat had asked everyone to take care of them as best they could, but Mistress Vis's condition was getting worse and worse, and he was vomiting blood when I came...... Master?"

When the lizardman looked up after speaking, he realized that Iroh was gone.

In fact, after hearing the other party's first words, Iroh teleported directly outside Vess's lair - as the lord of the Ikut Valley and the boss of the Tokamak faction, Iroh naturally has the power to enter and exit his residence at will.

At least that's what Iroh himself thinks.

As for Vess's situation, Iroh was not surprised at all, in fact, he had been waiting for this day four years ago.

After exchanging the restraint, the golden pendant, Iroh found that his terrifying abilities no longer affected foreign objects, but he was not really suppressed. To be precise, that ability is firmly confined to one's own body, and it cannot be surpassed in the slightest.

Relatively speaking, the influence of this ability on the surface of one's body is stronger than when there is no restraint. So in order to prevent this ability from accidentally injuring his men, Iroh has been careful not to let anyone, including Raja and the three dragons, touch his body.

But on the day the Void Storm erupted four years ago, Iroh grabbed Vess's neck to threaten him not to think otherwise.

It was this unprecedented contact that allowed the ability in Iro's body to affect Vess, and led to the nightmare of the little black dragon next!

For the first few months, Vis only felt tired, unwell, and lost his appetite, and he thought that the threat from Iroh was too much for him.

However, he soon realized that things were not so simple: after that, the more frequent vomiting and diarrhea made his body gradually weaken, so that he was obviously in the period of rapid growth, but his skeleton was enlarged, and his body was getting thinner and thinner.

This was not the end of the story, a year later, Vess's scales showed signs of shedding, dizziness, drowsiness and loss of control more and more, and he vomited blood many times while eating.

To make matters worse, the flesh on his neck where Iroh had been scratched had begun to swell and multiply, and according to the lizardman servant who cared for Vess, his neck had become frighteningly thick lately, and it had become difficult to even move his head.

Naturally, Weiss's temper is getting worse and worse, and now Weiss's lair is a forbidden area in the valley, and every servant who enters it must be prepared to die - because as his body changes, Weiss also becomes more and more moody, sometimes venting to himself, crying and laughing, or confessing to people who don't exist, and sometimes violently abusing servants.

In short, the dragon's spirit had been crumbled by this strange situation.

The moment he saw Ves, Iroh realized that what the lizardman said was true.

What's more, my prediction was completely correct.

The black dragon in front of him is simply indistinguishable from four years ago, although the size of Vis four years ago is not as good as Hillcut, but he has inherited part of the blood of the red dragon, he is strong among dragons of the same age, and his lilac eyes are always shining with a dangerous calculating light, even if he is still a young dragon, it makes people dare not underestimate his danger.

But now?

Looking at the lifeless dragon lying in the depths of the cave, Iroh suddenly felt sad that the rabbit had died and the fox had died.

Many of the scales on Weis's body were peeled off, revealing a miserable white skin, and many of the scales that had not fallen off were also dead and gray, and there was no life at all; his body was coagulated with a lot of dried or undried blood, and there was a pool of foul-smelling vomit mixed with blood around his mouth; his left eye was glazed, and his right eye was covered with a mass of tumors, and he could not see the eyeball at all.

The most striking thing was his neck, which, as the lizardman had said, was so swollen that it was several times thicker and could no longer move.

Not to mention a human being, he is a goblin, and it is estimated that it is not difficult to take his life!

"Iroh, I'm ......"

Standing beside Vis was Shilkat, and at this moment the black dragon looked at his dying brother with a complicated expression, and turned his eyes to Iroh for help.

In fact, when he first knew that Weiss's body was abnormal, Shilkart was quite happy, because if Weiss became weaker, it would mean that he had one less competitor.

Later, however, as Vess's condition deteriorated, Hillcat was surprised to find that his mood began to decline.

He had never experienced this kind of mood before, and he had always regarded Vis as a competitor and an opponent, but why...... Do you feel bad?

Is this what is called "brotherly love"? Hillcart suddenly became irritable.

The first person to arrive after getting the news today was not Iroh, but Hilcart. Yes, perhaps it was the end of Vess's death that mysterious telepathy finally appeared, and it brought Hillcat over and told him to face something he had never cared about before.

The precious thing called "family affection" exists even among the relatively indifferent dragon clan.

"I know what you're thinking," said Eru leisurely, ignoring the stench of the cave, "I can save him." But—what can you give me?"

Hirkat was stunned, he hadn't cared about Vis at all in the past four years, especially since last year, as Vess's body deteriorated, Hilkat also managed to get some healing potions, but unfortunately those things were useless.

Of course, he also asked Iro, but before Iroh was clearly powerless?

"I'm not sure he'll be cured. —That's what Iroh said at the time.

As if seeing Shilkat's question, Iroh said lightly: "I just said that I was not sure, I didn't say that it could not be cured." ”

"You!"

If it had been four years ago, Hillcat might have pounced on Iroh to fight it to the death.

It's just that the changes in the past four years are also obvious, on the one hand, he is no longer blindly impulsive, and every seemingly reckless attack is actually well thought out in advance, and on the other hand, Hilkart also knows that Iroh likes to talk only half of the way - he hardly lies to his own people, but that does not mean that he will be honest.

You know, the most brilliant lie is actually half the truth!

"Don't be nervous, I'm not the greedy kind of person. As if to see what Hillcart was thinking, Iroh continued, "Fifteen years—if you don't fight my position in fifteen years, I'll save your brother." ”

Without waiting for Hillcutt to answer, Iroh motioned for him to step aside, and walked over to Vess.

Iroh knew that Hillcat would say yes.

"Ahem...... Yes, you're ......?"

As if sensing Iroh's approach, Vess's left eye lifted slightly, and suddenly there was a hint of vividness in his originally dull gaze.

Iroh could feel it as a complex mix of emotions such as regret, fear, sadness, and despair.

For the average person, the probability of seeing so many negative emotions in the eyes of a dragon is as small as being killed by a meteorite while walking - no, maybe even less.

In that respect, Iroh was a little cranky, and he thought a little cranky.

"Forgive me ......"

Ves's brain seemed to be a little more awake, and after the consciousness brought Arlo to really come, a glimmer of survival lit up in his eyes, and he struggled to spit out a word that was almost pleading.

But before he could say more, a violent spasm interrupted the struggle. Vess's mouth was wide open, and another puddle of sour liquid mixed with blood was spat out, and he fell into a coma again - this time Iroh could see clearly, Vis didn't vomit anything else, apparently he hadn't eaten in a long time.

So...... It's really time.

"I forgive you. ”

Iroh stretched out his left front paw and swung it at Vess, then gently grasped the pendant on his chest and whispered, "—Noelle." ”

"Your Excellency. ”

"Intramuscular injection, combination two. ”

The Silver Dragon Mage quietly appeared beside Iroh, he was obviously prepared, and after signaling to Iroh, he quickly changed into gloves and took out three strange potions and placed them. The three vials were clear, red, and blue, and Hillcat watched in silence, curious and worried.

After a short time, the potion was placed, and Noelle took out some more needle-like things and attached them to the vial, and then plunged the end of the needle into the skin of Veesna's lost scales.

"Don't touch him until the potion is finished. If it goes well, the change will occur after three days. ”

Whispering to Hilcart, Iroh turned and walked out of the cave, followed by Noele.

Perhaps Hillcart misses his brother more than he can spy on Iroh's feelings, but Noelle understands his lord's thoughts now:

Speaking of which, this is the first time I have tried out the nuclear transformation skill called "isotope stabilization", and the results are really exciting......
