"It's different from what you think. ”

Yalei glanced at the three fools who were still sobbing, and his face showed a look of reminiscence, and the memory seemed to return to the bottom of the mysterious lake in the village of Desa, and said thoughtfully:

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a way to artificially produce dragon blood in this world, and my eyes have been stained with that kind of dragon blood, and the effect is no different from real dragon blood. ”

He hid the method of making artificial dragon blood, and if he let old Warm know that artificial dragon blood was consumed by his own clan as raw materials, with his current physical condition, he would have to be to death.

"Artificial dragon's blood...... Has human technology reached this level?" Old Vam gasped in surprise as another storm erupted in the cavern.

"No, it's just black magic, purifying dragon blood from the body of the dragon species, a disdainful and forbidden technique. The black-haired knight told a lie against his will.

"I see...... The world is truly wonderful. Old Vam breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes showing joy, and the long tail behind him swayed twice with difficulty.

The attitude of the dragonborn towards the dragon species is almost the same as that of a human looking at a monkey, although there is a little bit of closeness, but after all, they will not treat it as their own kind.

"So, how much does it take to get you back up?"

“......”

When old Warm heard this, he immediately closed his eyes, as if he was estimating the damage to his body at this moment, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke:

"A gallon of dragon's blood, it should be enough. ”

"I'll do it now, it might take a few days. ”

The black-haired knight raised the index finger of his right hand and pointed it into the other's eyes. Solemnly instructed: "Before I come back." No matter what happens. You're going to have to hold me on!"

"I'll do it. ”

Old Vam smiled slightly, his eyes mixed with a gentle warm current, and his voice came from deep in his throat:

"If you can save my life, then in honor of the ancestors, I will be your staunchest ally of all demons, and I will never turn my back. ”

"That's why I'll do everything I can to save you. Yare bowed his head slightly, then turned his head to look at the three Vam brothers with a look of hope on their faces. Say to them:

"Whichever one of you is there, take the time to inform Charlene of my departure, and take care of your grandfather the rest of the time. ”

"Understood!"

They snorted with their tails and nodded their heads heavily.

In order to save as much time as possible, Yarley did not choose to take a boat, but jumped into the sea and swam across the Celtic Strait, set foot in Gaul, and then sailed to Thrace in a special airship.

He vaguely remembered that when the barrier at the bottom of the lake in Desa Village was destroyed, the Imperial army took over the place, and since that was the case. Then the Dragon's Blood Holy Grail crafting technique must have been preserved to a certain extent.

Judging from the discipline value of the researchers in the academy, the extraction method of artificial dragon blood. It is impossible for them not to be greedy, it is an alchemy material with a wide range of applications.

......

Obelisk, Institute.

This non-stop trek along the way made Yalei's appearance quite embarrassing, but fortunately, the guards of the courtyard vaguely remembered that there was a character of him, and they didn't interrogate much nonsense, so they opened the door and let him go.

In front of Vesta's private office.

The black-haired knight straightened his shrunken and crumpled training clothes and knocked lightly on the door.

Knock knock.

"Please come in. Vesta's languid voice came from within.

Yalei pushed open the compound door, and the office was a little dark, and the fluorescent lights on the ceiling flickered, which was the only source of light.

Standing on a barstool beneath the fluorescent lamp, the older woman she knew was clutching a brand new fluorescent lamp and fiddling with the old bulb with her other hand, trying to remove it and replace it with a new one. However, the senior researcher was obviously not good at this kind of thing, clumsily pinching the old light bulb and not taking it off for a long time.

"Yare, you're here at the right time, hurry up, help me change this damn light bulb!"

As soon as Vesta saw him, he waved his hands as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and immediately jumped off the barstool.

“......”

The black-haired knight silently swung out his falcon sword, two chain swords wrapped around the old light bulb and twisted it directly counterclockwise, and the other three grabbed the new light bulb and pressed it:

"Such a big researcher, can't you tell the difference clockwise and counterclockwise?"

"Hahaha, don't care about such trivial things. ”

She smiled dryly and waved her hand, straightened up the white coat on her body, and patted her head suddenly: "No, you are now the governor of Celtic, why did you appear here with me?"

"Forehead......" Arei opened his mouth and was about to speak.

"Shhhh ”

Vesta made a silent gesture, shook his head pretendedly, and made an expression of sudden realization:

"You must have encountered some difficult troubles again, and you have to turn to me, a confidant and kind big sister, in the hope of guidance, is that so, I am not mistaken?"

"......" His face was as black as his hair at the moment.

"Woooooooooooo

A leftover woman covered her face with her slender hand, sighed softly, and made a crying motion: "Really...... Young people nowadays are like this, taking everything from older women and kicking them away mercilessly. ”

"Don't call me like a scumbag!" Areley was furious to the point of almost exploding.

"It's been a long time, just kidding. ”

Vesta removed his palm from his pretty face, straightened his hair, and said, "Let's get down to business, Lord Governor, what can I do to help you?"

"Just call me Yalei, don't call me Governor. ”

The black-haired knight found that he was always prone to deflating in front of this older leftover woman, and quickly asked straight to the point: "Do you still have any impression of the affairs of Desa Village?"

"Desa Village...... Let me think about it. ”

She put her hips on the edge of her desk and took out a woman's cigarette from the pocket of her white coat, which she did not light. He took a deep breath in his mouth. Vaguely said:

"Oh! I remembered. That whole village is a bloody workshop of madmen, a village that was destroyed by you, Nicole, and another man, right?"

"Yes!"

Yalei looked overjoyed, and was about to continue to ask, but saw that the other party made another silent cleanup, and had to forcibly close his mouth again.

"Uh-huh!"

Vesta pointed to his thin lips and swayed up and down the filter, a "you know" expression on his face.

“......”

The black-haired knight took a deep breath. A flash of fire burst from the tip of the index finger of her left hand, and she lit it for her with a smile.

"Whew! The cigarette lit by the Governor tastes so good. ”

She spat out a smoke ring mixed with fragrant wind at Yalei, raised her head very happily, and smiled charmingly:

"I can almost guess the purpose of your trip, do you want to ask about the Dragon's Blood Holy Grail, or do you want to ask about the artificial dragon's blood?"

"Artificial dragon blood. ”

"Why?"

"The spies of the Highlands invaded the Celtic borders and attempted to assassinate the elders of the Vam clan, but they were bluffed away by using their abilities beyond their limits, but the old Vam was also devastated. Dragon's blood is needed to heal injuries. He looked away from the open slit in the other's chest and said succinctly.

"I see......"

Vesta turned and went over to the crystal ashtray on the table. skillfully shook off the soot and said regretfully:

"But I didn't take part in the research on this later, but Director Lloyd should know that if you can give me a heartwarming gift, I'll take you to him right now. ”

"Can you ...... next time" Although Yalei brought a gold coupon, it felt a little inappropriate for friends to give money directly to each other.

"Poof, just talk. ”

She couldn't help but sneer, her white jade-like cheeks rose red, as delicate as rouge, and walked briskly to the black-haired knight, reached out and tugged at his sleeve, and said with a smile:

"Come with me. ”

......

Research Institute, Lloyd Private Independent Laboratory.

The ceiling lights reflected the floor, and the alchemy equipment in the laboratory glowed with a wonderful brilliance, and the room was dotted with stars, and the air breathed was filled with a bitter smell of medicine.

"Artificial dragon blood? We do have this kind of thing. ”

Director Lloyd pushed his glasses, put the pocket watch back in his pocket, and said slowly:

"But the cost is very expensive, and to tell you the truth, the artificial dragon blood we have here is all secretly extracted and refined in the name of examining the body of the Watts, and the inventory of the institute is not very sufficient. ”

"I want a gallon!" said the black-haired knight without hesitation.

"Hmm......"

The director lowered his head in contemplation, the lenses flashed brightly in the light, and said slowly:

"Five hundred million, no two prices. ”

"Fifty hundred million is fine, but I want a gallon and a half!" Jarley was determined to try to bargain, and he couldn't say how much he could give.

"It's a deal!"

Lloyd immediately raised his head and smiled from the bottom of his heart: "In addition, I will give you another half gallon, and the price has already been given to this portion, so you don't want to be dissatisfied." ”

“......”

The black-haired knight felt the urge to slap his mouth at the moment, and then quickly calmed down and said calmly:

"Of course, I won't be dissatisfied, but I just want to say that Celtic's ore raw materials, rare alchemy materials, etc. are very abundant, and they are the home of monsters. ”

"Hmm!"

Lloyd looked moved.

"I also have a way to get my hands on the Rune props in the Highland Kingdom. ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

Vesta took a deep puff of tobacco in surprise, then choked on his lungs and coughed violently.

"My territory, Glamorgan, an independent fragment of the subworld, is definitely a good base for research. ”

"And then?"

Director Lloyd raised his right hand tremblingly, gently removed his glasses, and licked his lips subconsciously.

"I'm willing to offer you a piece of land to build a research base, free of charge. The black-haired knight stared into his eyes and added expressionlessly:

"Moreover, the construction cost is mine. ”

"It's just two gallons of artificial dragon blood, I'll give it to you!" said the elder with a pat on the thigh.

......

The slot of the artificial dragon blood bank is like a round hole with neat edges cut out. It shimmered with metallic silver. A glass pipe is inserted diagonally into it. The red and scorching dragon blood couldn't help but flow down the glass tube. Dripping into the glass bottle under the pedestal, it resembles a glass of cooked wine.

Vesta took the glass bottle, carefully poured it into a leather gallon bucket, then closed the lid and muttered softly:

"It's the twentieth cup, exactly two gallons, take it!"

"That's it. ”

The black-haired knight lifted the two gallon buckets and exhaled with relief:

"Old Watt's life should be saved. ”

"Come on!"

Her Royal Highness patted him on the shoulder. Earnestly instructed: "The research base must be built, and I may be transferred there in the future, especially the accommodation environment, I can't go if it's too bad." ”

"Leave it to me, don't worry, if you are not satisfied in the future, I will vacate the Earl's Court for you to live in!" said Yalei, patting his chest.

"That's what you said. She winked with a smirk.

......

Celtic, Emerald Valley.

"Grandpa, this is your favorite deer leg, I caught more than forty of them for you, and the skin has been peeled. Just eat a little. Wayi tossed more than two hundred roasted deer legs in front of old Vam.

"Grandpa. I'll sing you a song!"

Wa Er strode up to his grandfather's ear, and howled in a loud voice:

"It's like the sun piercing through the night...... Dawn crept across the horizon...... The path of justice is at your feet...... Don't be sad and don't be afraid...... Looking forward to tomorrow with confidence!"

"......" Wasan silently piled the gold coins into a blanket and arched his nose under Old Vam, trying to make it feel better.

"Whew...... Whew......"

However, no matter how hard the three Wa brothers tried, Lao Wa's mental state inevitably became more and more depressed, and on the third day after Yalei's departure, he had fallen into a deep coma, with no sense of what was happening in the outside world.

"What to do, grandpa is no longer eating. Wayi cried out with a sad face, and threw a deer leg into his mouth.

"The song of justice doesn't work either. Wa Er tucked his head under his paws and whimpered.

"Grandpa, it doesn't react to the gold coin!" Wasanwa howled and cried.

"Don't cry! Your grandfather isn't dead!"

A loud, steady voice echoed through the cavern, and before the words could be spoken, the black-haired knight carried two gallon buckets and flickered to Old Vam's side.

"Lord Governor, you're finally back!" the three Washi brothers pounced directly, rubbing their heads against Yalei's body, and the three tails behind them wagged like big dogs.

The black-haired knight was squeezed by the three hard heads and couldn't breathe, and while patting their heads, he comforted them repeatedly: "Good boy, you are all very good, I have brought back the dragon's blood, and your grandfather is saved." ”

"Great! ”

"Wa Yi Wa Two, you open its mouth one left and one right, and after I pour dragon blood into its mouth, Wa San puffs your grandfather's chin and helps it drink. ”

"No problem!"

Wa Yi and Wa Er quickly ran to both sides of Lao Wa's huge mouth, supported his hind limbs and stood upright, and pushed his mouth up with his claws, and Wa San put his head against Lao Wam's jaw at the same time.

“......”

Areh opened the lids of the two gallon buckets, walked over to the cave-deep mouth of the old tile, and threw the two barrels into its throat (the two gallon barrels were made of real leather and were edible).

"I'm top!"

Wa Er struggled to push up old Wam's jaw, helped him raise his neck slightly, and swallowed the bucket into his stomach.

After helping the elder Vam swallow two gallons of artificial dragon blood, the three Vam brothers gently put the old Vam head back on the ground and stretched it out in anticipation.

Whoosh——!

Suddenly, a layer of crimson flames burned on the surface of Old Watt's body, and at the same time, a subtle crackling sound slowly came from the surface of its body. The flames rapidly expanded and rose high, slowly turning like a whirlpool, centering on the core of the cavern, the old Vam location, slowly turning clockwise.

The black-haired knight looked at it, and found that fine cracks appeared on the scales of the old Vam, and as the cracks continued to increase, he found that the other party's vitality was changing, a subtle change that slowly surged up from the roots, like a butterfly that broke out of its cocoon and was reborn.

Boom ——!

Suddenly, a huge explosion rang out from the cave they were in, and red flames rushed straight through the mouth of the cave like a giant tongue, licking the deep blue sky.

Inside the cave, old Vam had already stood up on all fours, the silver fire burning in his pupils became more and more vigorous, and constantly twisted muscle blocks floated all over his body, and the scales began to fall off layer by layer, rapidly growing a layer of more rigid and strong fiery red scales.

Whoa!!

Old Vam roared to the sky and tore at it, and two bloody wounds opened its back, and two pairs of cicada-like wings extended out of the flames, and quickly became strong and thick, forming two slender flesh wings.

Sneer——!

Suddenly, a huge single horn grew directly from the top of Old Warm's skull, and at the end of the two eyebrow lines, two curved bone horns arched out immediately behind.

"Dragon...... Dragon!" he muttered to himself as he closed his eyes with two lines of tears.

"Grandpa has returned to a real dragon! Grandpa has returned to a real dragon!" Wa Er rolled in the flames excitedly.

"This is what we are!Flame Dragon!This is what we really are!" Wasan stood on tiptoe excitedly, pounding his chest and roaring.

"This ...... What an unexpected surprise. The black-haired knight sighed happily as he bathed in the comfort of the dragon's breath.

Roar——!!!

Old Watt, no, it should be said that the flame dragon raised its slender snake neck fiercely, and its silver burning eyes faced the distant blue sky, and let out a long, loud roar.

Roar——!

The three little Vam craned their necks and looked out into the deep blue sky, letting out a dragon roar that was a little immature in comparison, but full of flaming faith.

The voice was full of blood and tears, like the suffering of the Vam clan for thousands of years, incomparably bitter and heavy, and like the newborn sun, exuding infinite vitality. (To be continued.) )
