The current head of the Granger family, the pale Tyerson Granger, pushed open the door to the room that once belonged to the young head of the family, Dennis Granger, and saw a lonely figure sitting by the window watching the snow. He shook off the snowflakes off his body, took off his coat, and walked towards the window on crutches.

"The prince is already out of the city. ”

Tyerson sat down across from Nicole and whispered, "He's the only one." ”

Nicole nodded, "I see." ”

"The Eye of Heaven also passed away this morning, and I just received the news. "I thought the prince would be with his wife, but I didn't expect him to leave so decisively." He didn't even spend much time with his child, and Moreau told me that he only glanced at the child from a distance while he was asleep, meaning that the child had not seen his father since birth. ”

Nicole was silent.

"Hard-hearted man. Tylson added, "Do you know what he reminds me of?"

"What?"

"Reminds us of our enemies, dragons. Tyerson said softly, "As far as I know, powerful dragons are always especially their children. They will constantly train their children, constantly knocking them down, so that they can learn the ability to fight through lessons and pain. Therefore, the ability of dragons to reproduce is not so easy, and many young dragons fail to survive and can only die at the hands of their parents. ”

Nicole spat out three words: "It's cruel." ”

"Yes, this is indeed a cruel thing for humans, but it is also the reason why the dragon clan has been prosperous for a long time. Tyerson nodded, "Once these trials are passed, then those dragons who grow up will become as powerful as their parents, and then train their children in the same way." But dragons are not an emotionless race, and when I was younger, I saw a father kill his child by mistake, and then he held the child's corpse and wailed on the cliff for three days and three nights, and finally we killed him because of his lack of strength. But even then, it kept the child's body under it before it died. ”

Nicole looked at Tyerson with some confusion, she didn't understand why Tyerson was saying this to her.

"Haven't you shown up yet?" said Tyson, "the Dragon Emperor has made Ian his own child. ”

Nicole was stunned.

"Thirteen years ago, Team Drifting Cloud killed a female wyvern and found a dragon egg beneath her, which was about to hatch. The alchemists opened the dragon egg, killed the swaddling dragon cub, and used its blood to study and open new dragon blood techniques. Tyson said slowly, "Eventually, it was revealed by his father, and as you might have guessed, the father of the dragon egg was the Dragon Emperor." The enraged Dragon Emperor destroyed the entire Liuyun, slaughtering more than 300 people, including hunters, alchemists, and villagers, and only one survived. ”

"That's Ian. Nicole nodded, "I know." ”

"Yes, the Dragon Emperor killed everyone, but only one child was left. Tyerson looked into Nicole's slightly confused eyes, "It's not because it deliberately missed or was merciful. Moreover, Ian's body was injected with the blood of that dragon cub, so the Dragon Emperor regarded Ian as his own child, his only offspring in this world. ”

Nicole felt her breath weigh a lot: "Then why didn't it take Ian?"

"Because Ian is still a human after all, even if he has dragon blood in him, he is also a human being, without dragon wings, dragon claws, dragon scales, and only a weak human body. Therefore, it is impossible for the Dragon Emperor to bring Ian to the world of the Dragons, but he never bears to kill Ian, and in the end, he decides to give Ian the 'Dragon's Trial' as if it were his own child. ”

"I don't understand what you mean. ”

"It's okay, you can listen to me slowly. Tyerson said slowly, "Perhaps even Ian himself doesn't understand what happened that night thirteen years ago. We just thought that because Ian had the blood of the Dragon Emperor in his body, he survived. But in fact, after so many years of research, we have never been able to make a second Ian. The human body will have a huge rejection of the blood of the dragon, and the powerful dragon gene will frantically devour the human genes, destroy the human brain, and turn the human being into a monster that cannot think and can only act on instinct. ”

"Is that the [Dragon Servant]?"

"That's right, that's the fate of most humans who try to become strong with dragon blood. Later, we developed Dragon's Blood One, which contains a small amount of Dragon's Blood, but it can also increase the strength of humans in a short period of time, but it cannot last long, and it comes with the side effects of reducing lifespan and suffering greatly. It is impossible to turn the blood of the Dragon Emperor into a part of his body like Ian, of course, there are people who are half successful, and in most cases hold the will, but once they use the power of the dragon's blood, they will become a new [Dragon Servant]. This is also the reason why Lord Rose has always disapproved of dragon blood research, and he does not want his hunters to become monsters one by one. ”

Nicole nodded, Tyerson was a little tired, after all, he was old, and he rested for a while before he continued: "So for so many years, we have always wondered why Ian has such a powerful bloodline, can still live until now, and has become the strongest human in a short period of time. I didn't know about it before, but combined with the news you brought me last night, I finally figured it out. ”

"Last night?" Nicole didn't react.

"Yes, the most critical part is made up. Tyerson nodded, "Thirteen years ago, the reason why Ian was able to survive, and not because he was turned into a [Dragon Squire] by the powerful dragon blood, was because the Dragon Emperor Mussolini used some kind of powerful power to forcibly tamper with Ian's genes, and the dragon blood and the human blood reached a perfect balance. ”

Nicole thought of something, "You mean, [theocracy]?"

"That's right, the only one who can surpass the dragon's blood is probably the power of that legendary god. "That was the first 'trial' the Dragon Emperor gave to Ian, and instead of killing Ian, it gave him the power of dragon blood, and of course, from another point of view, it may just want its 'son' to survive." ”

Nicole didn't know what to say anymore, and Tyson's words were so shocking that she couldn't accept them for a while.

"Some time ago, why Ian was able to come back alive from Alder is also something that can be explained. I don't think that if the Dragon Emperor really wanted to kill Ian, you would be able to get Ian back from his hands. After all, it was the Dragon Emperor's second 'trial' of his own child, and he hoped that Ian would be strong enough to defeat him. "In dragon culture, only a dragon that has defeated his parents with his own hands can be considered an adult. ”
