If you look closely, the bound man has thin black scales on his back, extending from his back crest to the sides, as if he is holding his wings. Thick chains with inscriptions bound his hands, kneeling him in the middle of this eerie room. He was surrounded by white candles, and cyan flames danced on them, like imprisoned souls.

The statues of gods and demons surrounded him, and their hideous expressions seemed to inflict divine punishment on this heinous sinner. Mai, who approached Jiude, couldn't help but wonder what kind of crime she had committed to receive such a punishment. Zero had no such doubts, and she silently walked in front of the sinner. The Spirits of Speech concealed their figures, but there was no way to hide the sound of movement and the sound of the room being opened.

The sinner's face was covered by stray blonde hair, and his stubble-covered chin was faintly visible in the gaps between his hair, as well as the golden boy that seemed to be unquenchable. But Zero recognized the identity of the sinner in front of him, and Patsy Gattuso, the chief secretary of the Gattuso family, the college's board commissioner, and Caesar's childhood friend, was one of the reasons for him to re-enter the place.

Naturally, Patcy spotted them, and even if he couldn't see what the person in front of him was like, he could feel where someone was.

"I don't know who is coming, but I'm sorry, but I can't stand up to greet me in my current state." He raised his head, revealing the face that was originally handsome, but now it was covered with black and cyan scales and gray veins.

There was no doubt that his lineage was out of control, but the tone in which he spoke was still humble and full of reason. Unlike his appearance, his sanity remained sober.

However, staying awake in this room that is extremely weird, and ordinary people may go crazy directly when they see it, maybe the mental torture is far more than the physical one. Having such willpower doesn't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for him.

Zero looked at him silently without saying a word, and it seemed that all his strength had been exhausted after he had finished saying those words, but he still straightened his back and looked ahead. The chains were inscribed with the alchemy of suppressing the dragon's blood, similar to the dragon's binder brought back from beneath the plains of Mesopotamia.

The only sound in the air was the sound of blue flames flickering and exploding, and there was no movement beyond that. The expressions of the gods and demons statues were still weird, but these statues, which couldn't even count as alchemy items, naturally couldn't talk to him.

After a long silence, Zero lifted the realm of speech and spirit. The two figures suddenly appeared on the face, and Patcy did not panic, he opened his eyes for a moment to confirm, and then lowered his head as if he were bowing.

"It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Romanov and Miss Jiude." He smiled wryly, "It really made the two of you laugh, I didn't expect us to meet in such a situation." ”

"Patsy Gattuso, can you tell me what you're doing?" Asked expressionlessly, without the slightest sympathy for his tragic situation.

Parcy replied, "As you can see, Your Highness, I am now a prisoner. ”

"Don't answer the obvious." Zero said, "I'm asking why you're imprisoned here, or rather, what role you played in this incident." ”

Patsy fell silent and said no more. After a long time, he slowly raised his head and said in an extremely hoarse voice: "I don't think I have a way to answer your question, it's not that I want to hide it deliberately, but what is happening now is different from what the family wants me to do." ”

……

"You may not know that before you, Pompeii and I were the brightest young men in the family." "At that time, we were far more chic than you, countless girls on the streets of Rome looked back at us, and the heirs of the royal families of various countries vied with us to make friends......"

He looked at Caesar and whispered, "What you've been through, whether it's lifting someone's table on a motorcycle, pouring champagne into the pool, or turning the campus into a battlefield, is just what we have to do." ”

"I said, uncle, are you mistaken, we are here to find trouble, not to listen to you boast about your past glory days." Chen Motong interrupted him with an unkind gaze.

"You are just the bride of the family for Caesar, don't rely on some external help to act recklessly, if it weren't for your blood, you would not even be qualified to be a maid." Frost looked at her as if he were talking back, not paying any attention to her retorts.

Chen Motong choked back with an indifferent expression: "Don't impose on me what you said to that bastard, I'm not anyone's bride, let alone the bride of a disgusting family like you." ”

"And ......," she said mockingly, "your so-called family is dead in name, and you have said it yourself, and there are only two or three kittens left." ”

"No matter what you say, you still can't escape, as long as the surname Gattuso is still there, you can't escape. It doesn't matter before or now. Frost gave her a cold look on her face and ignored her.

He looked back at Caesar and said, "At that time, we were competing with each other to prove who was the best person in the family, after all, a family does not need two heirs, and Pompeii and I were destined to have one of them to become a stepping stone for the other, to become the nourishment of the other to reach the top and accept the fate of being hollowed out." ”

"But I was wrong...... The family never wanted us to compete with each other, and our fate was already decided at birth, when we were given names, who would be the future head of the family and who would be the future servant, it was already decided at that moment. Frost's voice was hoarse, and he finally had the appearance of an old man.

“…… So, you've become a tiptoe stone? Caesar asked expressionlessly, in silence.

"Yes, from the moment I was born, I was destined to be the hollowed-out nourishment ......" Frost lowered his head, and the red-blooded golden boy stared at Caesar below, as if to find someone's shadow from him.

He stared at Caesar tightly, and almost roared: "I have been hollowed out, literally hollowed out, and my proud, even more than Pompeii's bloodline, has been neatly extracted and injected into Pompeii's body, strengthening his bloodline!" ”

Caesar opened his mouth wide and looked at Frost in disbelief. As the acting head of the family, he can be said to be under one person and above ten thousand people in the family, and in the past, he was just a nourishment prepared for others.

"Dragon's blood is extremely poisonous, and it has a berserk will hidden in the deepest depths. Even if it is a half-blood, he does not dare to say that he has completely controlled the dragon's blood and completely controlled the power in it. Frost continued, with a faint look of madness, "But there is only one type of dragon blood that is non-toxic, and that is the fetal blood produced at the moment of birth of a pure-blood dragon." That is the key to evolution that all half-bloods desire, the Golden Jelly! ”

Fingal pouted: "It's this golden pulp again......"

"Dude, explain." Chen Motong on the side glanced at him.

"Legend has it that when pure-blooded dragon cubs are born, or when super-evolved individuals complete their evolution, their blood at that time is completely non-toxic and extremely active." Fingal explained, "So the alchemists thought that that kind of blood could help a half-breed break the critical blood line, and if they took this blood, they might become super-evolutionary." As for why this is possible, because they have not even seen a pregnant dragon, let alone a newborn pure-blooded dragon cub, and only the legendary super-evolved individuals exist. ”

There was a dragon cub in the academy, but it was already an "old" cub, as it was hundreds of years ago.

Then Fingal silently added in his heart that super-evolved individuals do exist, but no one knows that they are. And they missed the best moment to extract the golden syrup, but none of them cared about that.

"No, I don't think that's just fiction." Chen Motong glanced at Frost, was silent for a moment, and added, "The Gattuso family may have found a way to make the Golden Holy Pulp, but the cost may be very large, and it may even require the sacrifice of a direct descendant of a high-blooded family. ”

She looked up and said loudly to Frost, "Am I right?" A poor stepping stone who has all his efforts to become someone else's wedding dress. ”

“…… Sharp imps are always so annoying, but thank you for the explanations. Frost gave her a cold look, then continued to look at Caesar and said, "That's what the little imp said, I am the carrier of the golden jelly, and I can't receive the slightest dividend from something that only exists in legends." ”

He gently brushed the gray hair around his ears, and his tone was extremely calm, but he still heard some resentment and said: "The Golden Holy Pulp was withdrawn, and I became like this, with my current age, I am not even middle-aged among the half-breeds, but I have been wearing that twilight appearance for decades!" And Pompeii is still young, taking different women in and out of various high-end occasions every day! ”

Caesar remained silent in the face of a catharsis that seemed to be questioning, and he didn't make any noise except for the question he had just asked.

Frost continued: "Like a handout, they left behind some remnants of dragon blood that have allowed me to survive to this day. And what makes me laugh off my big teeth, or almost angry, is that even with my sacrifice, Pompeii still did not become the ideal heir to the family...... And it was with such resentment, like a rag, that I was thrown into a corner where no one cared for me for decades! ”

There was a sadness in his voice at the moment, decades of hard work turned into other people's wedding dresses, but the person who took the wedding dress did not achieve the desired achievement. Even Chen Motong almost sympathized with him for a moment, of course, she was not a saint, and it was impossible to pity him because of such a tragic encounter.

Frost fell silent, and the whole body of water fell silent, and for a moment it was terrifyingly silent. The merfolk soldiers surrounded them silently like self-conscious puppets, neither attacking nor giving them a chance to take advantage of them.

After a long silence, Caesar silently looked up, all the gold was extinguished, and his eyes as blue as the sea looked at Frost quietly. After staring at each other for a long time, he said, "Although I am not qualified to say that, if you really have a grudge, you should not pull innocents into your revenge plan. ”

He finally understood why all the members of the Gattuso family he saw along the way had turned into corpses, reduced to the rations of these underwater creatures. Frost himself was unscathed, a revenge, a revenge that he had set off against all the members of the Gattuso family. For this reason, he worked diligently to continue to serve the family with such a broken body, and finally succeeded in controlling the family.

He became extremely extreme, became irritable, and did everything for the good of the family. He succeeded in deceiving him, deceiving everyone, deceiving the academy, and deceiving the elders...... No, it's hard to say whether the patriarchs who have never been seen before are still self-conscious.

"Innocents? Are there any innocents here? Frost glanced at the people behind Caesar, "The executioners of the Academy, and the ones who were made as if they were something, and who exist for you...... Caesar, don't you really think that there really are innocent people here? ”

"Anyone who has nothing to do with us should not be implicated." Caesar replied to him, "Honestly, your revenge has left me speechless, but you have disappointed me, you have been wronged, you have a debtor, and you dare not even confront my father!" ”

Frost's shoulders shrugged and he chuckled under his breath: "Are you the innocent you are talking about?" Are you trying to say that I shouldn't have to make you bear my resentment towards him? ”

"Although I don't want to admit it, I am also a member of the family, and I need to bear the evil caused by him." Caesar shook his head.

"But you still want to say that you don't owe me anything, do you?" Frost continued to ask.

Caesar was silent for a moment and replied, "Although I hate you, I did treat you as an elder before that......"

Frost's laughter grew louder and louder, and the look on his face grew more and more crazy: "You really don't owe me anything, but can you confidently say that Patcy doesn't owe you anything?" ”

Caesar was suddenly stunned, he was completely stunned like a merfolk with the sculptures around him. According to Frost, Patsy, one of the very few people in his family whom he would not reject, was the stepping stone that the family had prepared for him, the carrier of the golden syrup.

"Is that just the way you're struck?" Frost stopped laughing, and said in a calm tone, "So, let me tell you, who is the person who picked me up from the corner of the garbage heap, and at the same time empowers me again, what kind of expression will you have?" ”
