Finally, Norton broke out of his cocoon.

At this time, he has lost his authority and is no longer the dragon king.

Or it would be more accurate to call him a second-generation Norton.

Immediately after breaking out of the cocoon, Norton turned back and, as if reflexively, began to create resurrection eggs.

"Wait! What are you doing? ”

Su Mo patted Norton on the shoulder, interrupting his movements.

"Cocooned!"

Norton looked at Su Mo suspiciously, this is still a matter of asking.

"No need to cocoon, the experiment is over!"

Su Mo shook his head and officially announced.

"Knot, it's over?"

Don't you need to form a cocoon?

Hearing this, Norton was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt a wave of emotion come to his heart.

I don't have to go through the cycle of life and death anymore, and I don't have to be squeezed by Su Mo anymore?!

Before he could continue to be moved, Su Mo suddenly changed his voice again.

"Forget it, you better get one, although you can't use it now, it may still be used in the future."

Although the authority is in hand, Norton still has residual value.

Xia Mi needs the title of a dragon slayer, and Su Mo also needs this honor and merit to add points to the Ange forces and the matter of Eri.

“…… All right. ”

The emotion came to an abrupt end, and Norton was busy again.

Even if he became a second-generation species, he couldn't escape the order of being squeezed by Su Mo.

After he finished the cocoon, he immediately couldn't wait to ask Su Mo.

"Well, did the experiment succeed?"

Hearing him ask, Su Mo looked at his system panel, and then at the dragon blood crystals that had been separated.

"I have good news here, and there's good news, which one would you like to hear?"

“？”

A question mark popped up in Norton's head.

It's all the same option, how do you let me choose?

Obviously, Su Mo didn't intend to let him choose, and after seeing that he didn't speak, he immediately spoke.

"The first piece of good news is that the experiment was a success! I've stripped you of all authority, and now all the power you have comes from the second-generation or dragon-blooded creatures you've devoured. ”

Although it is a second-generation species, after all, it has the heart of a dragon king and the alchemy skills of a dragon king, even in the second-generation species, today's Norton is also among the top ranks.

After all, Samson is not the only sub-species he has devoured.

Hearing that his authority had been completely stripped away, Norton immediately grimaced.

It's not that he has a quirk, but because the success of this experiment means that Konstantin can replicate this kind of experiment.

In other words, if Su Mo and Jörmungad in front of them were targeting their dragon bone cross, they would be able to gain the corresponding authority even if they didn't need to kill them.

The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

Although they lost the ability to resist, Su Mo and the others also lost the reason why they had to kill them, and they had to be said to be much safer.

Not to mention, he also kept a secret that he hadn't fully revealed, which could be used to negotiate at a critical moment to save their brother's life.

"And what about the other piece of good news?"

Norton asked.

"The second piece of good news is about me."

Su Mo was a little embarrassed.

"Because of the few times I helped you separate the dragon blood crystals, my exclusive spirit has become a lot stronger, and with my current strength, I should be able to guarantee that you will be stripped of your authority without having to experience death and hatching."

After squeezing out the dragon blood crystals on Norton's body for the last time, Su Mo was originally an exclusive spirit of the LV4 level, and was directly promoted to the LV5 level.

After reaching this level, the range of concepts that Su Mo can separate is much larger again, and the accuracy has also improved.

If it were him now, he would be able to complete the separation of authority and directly separate the dragon's blood crystals without harming Norton's life, without Norton having to do as many as seven sit-ups at all.

After hearing this, Norton froze on the spot.

If he didn't have to go through many deaths to be able to separate his authority, then why did he suffer this half-day sin?

What's going on with a sudden feeling that all the suffering has been wasted?

Seeing the way he doubted life, Su Mo couldn't help but comfort.

"Actually, it's nothing, if it weren't for practicing on you, my exclusive spirit wouldn't have become so much stronger, right?"

"Thinking that your brother won't have to suffer this in the future, shouldn't you be very happy?"

Hearing Su Mo say this, Norton thought about it, and it was true.

It is indeed a good thing that Su Mo can become stronger, and his younger brother will not only be able to save his life in the future, but also not suffer the same as himself, which is indeed gratifying.

In this regard, he should actually thank Su Mo.

"Well, now that the experiment is successful, what's next?"

After calmly accepting Su Mo's words, Norton asked enthusiastically.

Now he is already a second-generation species, and he has basically withdrawn from the battle between dragon kings, and on this basis, Su Mo, who was originally an enemy, has become his backer.

As long as Su Mo wins this battle and makes sure he doesn't do anything to their brothers, then the Norton brothers can live directly to the new world.

After determining this, on the basis of the binding of interests, their relationship with Su Mo was closer than the previous confrontation.

At the very least, Su Mo seemed to be much more reliable than Jörmungath and the other dragon kings.

Hearing Norton's inquiry, Su Mo was not polite.

"After that, you have another mission, we need to get the honor of the dragon slayer, and the dragon king Norton is the target of our crusade, so we need you to act in a scene like Constantine, as long as you create the illusion that the dragon king Norton was killed."

Su Mo said what he wanted.

"Illusion?"

Norton was slightly stunned, but quickly understood.

After all, he had seen Su Mo's operation against Konstantin.

Although he didn't know why Su Mo attached so much importance to the views of mere human beings, if it was just this kind of request, he was not unacceptable.

"I can act, but my current strength is still a little insufficient, and it's too reluctant to play the dragon king."

After feeling the power in his body, Norton frowned.

The strength of the top second-generation seed level may be good for others, but it is too far behind for him.

Not to mention anything else, just because he didn't have authority, the fact that the temperature of the flame was reduced was enough to make Norton's alchemy greatly reduced, and with his current power alone, he couldn't even exert the [Spiritual Reforge] he had mastered.

Hearing Norton's doubts, Su Mo shook his head.

"Don't worry! Anyway, humans don't know how far the true strength of the dragon king can go, as long as you have a stronger record by then. ”

Perhaps for Norton, his current power is very small, and it is a world of difference compared to the authority of the Dragon King.

But the current Kassel Academy has not fought the real dragon king at all, and they have no idea how strong the dragon king's power is.

In the original book, Norton resisted at least three waves of deadly attacks before he died, and he was banned from speech throughout the whole process, and his combat power was not one in ten, but the Kassel Academy only relied on Caesar's single attack to determine that the dragon king Norton was dead, which was obviously a little too underestimating the dragon king.

"Are you sure it's okay?"

Norton asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, if necessary, there will be a real King of Bronze and Fire to help you with the special effects."

Su Mo said.

"The true Lord of Bronze and Fire?"

Norton was slightly stunned.

"It's me Xia Mida!"

Miss Natsumi suddenly popped out and said with a smug expression.

She finally found another way and discovered something.

Although the title of King of Earth and Mountain was snatched away by Su Mo, she could have snatched the title of King of Bronze and Fire from Norton!

Natsumi, the king of bronze and fire, sounds very domineering.

—Fenrir escaped.

"What, it's not Su Mo who devoured our keel, it's you?"

Hearing Xia Mi's words, Norton was slightly startled, revealing a disgusted look.

He originally thought it was for Su Mo.

"What do you mean, look down on me?!"

Miss Natsumi was immediately a little dissatisfied.

If it weren't for Su Mo's forced request, in fact, she would also want to give this to Su Mo, so that Su Mo could become the same dragon king-level combat power as her, so that she wouldn't have to worry about Su Mo's safety.

But one yard is one yard, and the matter between her and Su Mo is a private matter between the two of them.

Why did Norton look like it was a waste to her!

"No, I don't mean to look down on you."

Norton shook his head.

Although he really doesn't think much of Jörmungård, his dislike at the moment really has nothing to do with Jörmungård.

"I mean...... Alas...... Forget it, that's fine! ”

Thinking of the progress of Su Mo's alchemy, as well as the alchemy mask in his hand, Norton shook his head and didn't continue to say anything.

Xia Mi was annoyed by her non-dry attitude, and immediately wanted to reason with him.

It is also a secondary species...... Ahh

However, before she could fight, she was dragged away by Su Mo.

Because, with their non-stop experiments, the night had already passed.

If they don't go back, they will probably be found out that they don't return home at night.

If it's just found out by Zero and Eri, it's nothing.

If it is discovered by Nono or Susie, it will be gossiped about for a while.

Of course, because Nuo Nuo didn't see anyone when he was playing with Xia Mi last night, he still found out that the two of them didn't return home at night, and that's a story for later.

This afternoon.

The Vidal probe, above deck.

Caesar was seriously preparing for his exercise before entering the water, and beside him was a wetsuit.

According to the plan, after searching for the traces of the Dragon King in vain, they need to infiltrate the Bronze City and arrive at the Dragon King's mansion to see if the Dragon King is in a state of incubation.

If Dragon King Norton is in a hatching state, that's fine.

All they need to do is set up the alchemy bomb and get out of it, and they'll be able to complete the task with ease.

And if they encounter the Dragon King himself in the Bronze City, or if it is empty, it will be a bit of trouble.

However, no matter what the situation is, when there is no progress in all aspects at the moment, it is necessary to infiltrate the Bronze City to obtain information.

Usually preparing for exercise, Caesar said to the stout man behind him without looking back.

"Fingal, aren't you going to warm up? When the time comes, if you have leg cramps underwater, you will be in trouble. ”

Hearing this, Fingal said with a sad face and a sincere face.

"President, to tell you the truth, I actually have a disease that causes leg cramps when I get a little water, so can you let me give up this glorious qualification and give the opportunity to slay dragons to other students and brothers and sisters in the student council? I think they have a lot more enthusiasm for dragon slaying than I do. ”

Hearing Fingal's unreliable words, Caesar was already surprised.

"If you really have this disease, it's not too much of a problem, and if you run into the water and encounter the dragon king, you will definitely not be able to run, and you can cover me to escape when the time comes."

"Don't worry, if I can successfully complete the dragon slaying mission, I will definitely not forget your contribution, and after my death, I am even willing to have your portrait placed in front of me in Valhalla, and I will write in my personal biography that you are my best friend, what do you think of this honor?"

Hearing this, Fingal was dumbfounded.

"Hey, hey, hey! Caesar, when did you become so black-bellied, what is your best friend, you obviously want me to be a bait! As the president of the student council, don't you think your words are a little too unrighteous? ”

"I want to be righteous, but if you have this disease, you won't be able to escape, even if I'm willing to stand in front and let you run first, you can't run away, right? Rather than two people can't run away, it's better to prioritize saving those who can be saved. ”

Caesar said calmly, seemingly seriously considering the possibility of using Fingal as bait.

Seeing him like this, Fingal immediately panicked and quickly changed his words.

"Nope! I suddenly found out that I was cured! And to be honest, I'm also a good swimmer, if I meet the dragon king underwater, I will run faster and have a higher survival rate, otherwise you will sacrifice it and let me run first? ”

His words were undoubtedly very chicken thieves, making it clear that Caesar should take care of his life first.

However, Caesar was not angry when he heard this.

"It doesn't matter."

He shook his head faintly.

"Huh?"

Fingal didn't understand what he meant.

"I said it's okay, since you are the captain, naturally there is no reason to leave the team members and run away, as long as you warm up now to ensure that you can run fast at any time, then I promise you, I will go first when I meet the dragon king, you can escape, but remember to complete the task."

Caesar's tone was still faint, obviously the words of passionate dedication, but he had a sense of self-contained coldness when he said it.

He was willing to shelter Fingal, but it had nothing to do with Fingal, it was purely because of his own personal cultivation.

This is the aristocratic aesthetic he believes in, and for better or worse, he does practice it conscientiously.

Hearing Caesar say this, even Fingal couldn't help but show a touched look.

"It's worthy of being the president, it's awesome! I will never forget this kindness of the president until I finish my warm-up! ”

“……”

Before the warm-up is over? Are you forgetting a little fast?

Caesar was speechless.

Just as he was about to let Fingal concentrate on warming up, he suddenly heard Fingal stutter in fear.

"Yes, yes, yes...... President! ”

"What's wrong?"

Caesar looked at Fingal suspiciously.

Fingal was standing at the edge of the deck about to start stretching, his eyes looking in the stern direction, not knowing what he was looking at.

"We don't seem to have to go to the Bronze City."

Fingal said with a pale face.

"What do you mean? Do you still want to escape? Didn't you say it before, you can't change the plan that has already been set! ”

Caesar immediately shook his head.

Fingal hadn't backed down over and over again, but it was clearly not something that could accommodate his timid character.

"Nope! That was not what I meant! ”

Fingal shook his head quickly, his voice unusually weak.

Although he was afraid of going into the water in the past, it did not reach this level, and Caesar was suddenly a little puzzled.

"And what do you mean?"

Fingal swallowed hard in the face of this question, and was finally able to speak steadily.

"I mean, the Dragon King has come to the door! He's, he's, he's still staring at me...... Damn! ”

He pointed his fingers at the stern with trembling fingers.

Hearing this, Caesar changed color.

Before he could poke his head to look at where Fingal was pointing.

"Boom ——!"

A violent explosion suddenly sounded from the stern, causing the entire Vidal's hull to shake violently.

Huge tongues of fire erupted from the stern, and the entire crew of the Vidal was discolored.

"Damn! That's where the arsenal is! ”

Hearing the direction from which the explosion was coming, Caesar's face turned pale.
