How to use the Dragon King correctly

Chapter 23 Dragon's Secret

He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and said, "I'll go find Jin."

"Now? Didn't you just come back from him?"

"Because there is a new situation now." Oro said perfunctorily.

"Oh? Did you ask him to catch the auctioneer selling fake goods?" Lal asked with a smile, "Are you sure your body is okay?"

"fine."

Oro stood up, straightened his clothes, hesitated for a while, then found something from the bundle hanging by the bed and held it in his hand.The little flying dragon flapped its wings and landed on his shoulder.

Al was a little apprehensive.He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Lal's eyes would always sweep past him.

"By the way, Oro, I have one last thing to tell you." Lal stood up and said.

Oro glared at him.

"Can't you finish the sentence in one go?"

Lal pointed at Al, and said, "It's the first time Rhodes took the scales, so I don't know much about it. He just peeled off the scales from the dragon's body. If he doesn't handle them properly, there will be problems."

Oro froze for a moment, frowned and said, "What's the problem?"

"It may not be reflected at once, but in a few days, the skin will fester and the scales will fall off. The weaker dragons will even experience organ failure, rapid aging, and eventually death—"

"You made it up!" Oro interrupted him blankly.

Lal said innocently: "Don't you believe it? You can ask the president about this kind of thing, what good will it do me if I lie to you?"

"It's been so many years, do you think I don't know you?" Oro put his hand on the little flying dragon on his shoulder, narrowing his eyes and said, "He's my dragon."

"Well, yeah, but dying soon." Lal smiled.

Oro's temples jumped.

He just wanted to punch it.

Al became uneasy.

He didn't think there was anything strange about his body at all... The place where the scales were peeled off by Rhodes was indeed a bit itchy and painful, but it seemed... not rotten yet?

He looked at Oro questioningly.

Oro choked when he caught his gaze—how could he know such a thing!

Lal this guy... are you kidding me?It's just peeling off a scale, will it be so serious?

What's more, this stupid dragon is still the Dragon King...

Oro muttered in his heart.

"I suggest you give it to me to treat the wound," Lal said with a smile, "don't worry, I'll wait here until you come back, how about it?"

"...Why are you so kind all of a sudden?"

Lal blinked.

"Don't you know me very well?" The smiling man said word by word, "I like, love, dragon, the most!"

Al and Oro shuddered at the same time.

Al instantly judged the situation - he must not be taken away by this man!

Oro led Al out of the door expressionlessly: "Don't worry about it, thank you."

"Oro!" Lal called after him.

Oro stopped and turned around, looking at him with a raised brow.

"You don't know much about dragons, do you? To be honest, I can't figure out why you want to raise dragons. You don't even have the patience to read a book about dragons. Do you really think that raising dragons is the same as raising pets? After a pause, Lal said slowly, "Even if it is a pet, it will be painful when it dies."

Oro was taken aback.

Ral... Seriously?

"I tell you very clearly that your dragon is going to die. The time you go to Jin is enough for me to treat its wounds, and I will wait in this room until you return. If you don't want to, then I will go back .Since you don't trust me, don't ask me for help in the future."

Oro hesitated.

This guy... seems to be not joking this time.

Lal waited for a while, but when he didn't see Auror's answer, he planned to leave.

Oro said, "Wait!"

Lal stopped and looked at him.

"...Are you serious?" Oro reached out and hugged Al down, frowning, "He does seem to have no problems at all."

"Because you're an outsider." Lal said with a straight face.

Oro: "..."

He had seen many people fall into Lal's trap before.Although he has not been deceived by Lal yet, he is indeed wary of this guy sometimes.

"Even if I lied to you, I have nowhere to escape. Don't you know where I live?"

"..."

Oro looked down at the little flying dragon hesitantly.

Al Mung Bean's big eyes stared at him, still looking like he didn't want to be left behind.

But if what Lal said was true, it wasn't a matter of willingness or unwillingness.And...if Al stays here, maybe he can talk to Kim more easily.

Oro sighed, and said to Lal with some reluctance: "Okay, please help me take care of him while I'm out."

Lal put on a smile instantly: "Of course."

Oro whispered to Al, "I'll be back soon."

Al drooped his wings.

When Al was handed over to Lal, Oro emphasized: "Don't do strange things to him..."

"I will not."

Lal smiled and waved until Oro's back disappeared around the corner.

Al was held in the arms of this man, and his heart was beating "thumping".

Lal turned back to the room and closed the door, then went to the bed in silence and put Al down, and sat back on the chair by himself.

Al didn't dare to move casually, and looked at Lal.

After a long time, Lal spoke.

"My ancestors served the Dragon Clan thousands of years ago and left a diary. I didn't believe what was in it until Rhode asked me about the potion today."

Lal at this moment is completely different from the one just now.

Al suddenly realized that the human hadn't been left to treat him at all.He was specifically looking for an opportunity to leave the two of them alone.

"But you can rest assured that my apprentice is just a little stupid and won't betray others. He told me that his dragon scale was given by Auruo."

Al groaned in his heart.

Lal pursed his lips.

"Actually, you gave him that scale, right? Have you talked to my apprentice...?"

Al felt something was wrong.

He rolled his eyes, thinking about how to escape.

How did the topic turn so suddenly into this?

Lal leaned on the back of the chair with his arms folded, and said calmly: "I was surprised when Rhodes asked me why his potion failed. He obviously succeeded, why would he question himself? He wasn't even Ask me 'did this potion fail', but ask me 'why did it fail'. This entire magic association, who told him that his potion failed? Ordinary people say that, Rhodes is I won't believe it, unless that person makes him have to believe it."

"I asked him why he thought this way, and he told me that this bottle of potion was different from the one Oro saw at the auction in Cavill City..." Lal smiled softly, "Yes What's different? He said, the magic power contained is different..."

Lal recalled his previous conversation with Rhodes.

Sweat broke out on Rhode's forehead, and he seemed to have realized that it was inappropriate to ask such a question.

Lal saw it in his eyes at the time, but he didn't pursue it. He ignored all the panics that were full of loopholes, and just asked: "What do you mean by different magical power?"

Rhodes struggled for a long time before whispering: "Teacher, do I think I handled the dragon scale in the wrong way? Apart from the elemental power of the fire element, there should be other powers in the dragon scale, right?"

other forces?

Lal smiled and shook his head.

It's almost unheard of, what kind of power can there be in dragon materials besides fire magic power?

In this world, the only power that is very strange to ordinary people and closely related to the dragon clan is the "power of dragon" written in the diary passed down to him from his ancestors.

Lal read the diary many times, because the things recorded in it were too strange, and when he grew up, he even read the diary as a novel.And when Rhodes said those words to him, on the one hand, Lal noticed many strange things, on the other hand, he quickly figured out a train of thought, and the end of the train of thought pointed directly at the Dragon Clan.

That's Oro's dragon.

Why would a guy like Oro suddenly want to raise a dragon?Leaving this aside, Oro knew nothing about potions, so it was absolutely impossible for him to dictate the potions made by Rhodes.

Even if he said it, Rhodes wouldn't believe it.

Rhode's question seems to be inseparable from Oro, but as far as Lal knows about Oro, these things have absolutely nothing to do with him.

So who gave Rhodes this question?Who is Rhodes covering for?

"I've always had a lot of imagination. When I guessed whether it might be related to Oro's dragon, my first thought was 'ah, that diary might not be written in random'," Lal narrowed his eyes. Eyes, "Then I thought about what happened in the capital recently. Because I'm not interested in those things, I didn't know much about them before. Just now, I chatted with the president while you were back. Only then did I realize that such an interesting thing happened. Do you want to know what happened?"

Al had been shocked by Lal's words for a long time, and couldn't react for a while.

Lal smiled and said:

"If you can open your mouth and say something to me, I'll tell you, how about it?"

……

Are their masters and apprentices so fond of tempting dragons with conditions? !

Al was annoyed.

He won't compromise easily this time, Lal and Rhodes are not at the same level at all!

Seeing that Al didn't respond, Lal seemed a little disappointed.

He sighed and said, “Okay, okay, I won’t force you…”

Lal changed his sitting position, propped his chin with his hand and said slowly: "I don't know if you can't understand what happened to your race 1000 years ago."

Al looked at him suspiciously.

"It was written in the diary that the dragons could change their form at that time. When they turned into humans, they were almost the same as ordinary people, but because of racial differences, some parts of the body would be covered with scales. The number of scales, The location varies from individual to individual."

"Don't talk about that, do you know what is the most interesting thing I saw?" After a pause, Lal said, "At that time, humans were regarded as an inferior race by the Dragon Clan, and many people hated the Dragon Clan. But Where there is hostility, there is betrayal. Some human traitors, such as my ancestors, yearn for the power of the Dragon Clan. In order to gain the favor of the Dragon Clan, they will dedicate their offspring to the Dragon Clan, hoping that the Dragon Clan will turn them into the same race.”

ha?Become the same race?Al's recovered memory doesn't have these things yet.

"But it's impossible, isn't it?" Lal said slowly, "If it's such a good thing, why don't those people do it themselves? It's great, to be able to become a dragon clan and control the power of nature. But the dragon clan is There is no way to turn humans into the same race. They cut the skin of humans and injected pure dragon power into the blood. However, the human body cannot accept this power, so they will suffer, mutate, and grow out of their bodies. Scales, while being 'transformed' into the Dragon Clan, was also killed by this power - those children are just sacrifices sent by those who flatter the Dragon Clan."

Al was a little surprised.

This situation... Isn't it exactly the same as that dead magician?

"So, little flying dragon—— Rhode's potion didn't fail. Even if dragon materials are added to normal potion, it still won't show dragon power," Lal looked down at Al, and said, " Unless the potion is infused with pure dragon power, and this kind of thing, humans probably can't do it alone, right?"

Almost instantly, Al thought of Luther.

He blurted out: "Why didn't you tell Oro about this?!"

As soon as the words came out, Al regretted it.

Lal's eyes lit up.

He tightened his hands and clenched them into fists, veins had already appeared on the back of his hands.

The gentle and refined man instantly became excited, and even the frequency of his breathing changed.

"You really... can talk!"

Also turned into a human, put on the blue magic robe and put on a belt, stared at Lal and said, "Why don't you tell Auror about this?"

"I don't want him to know the existence of that diary. I have reminded him enough. He has been with you for so long, and he can always guess something. If you want to tell him, you can tell him yourself. It's you ——Dragon Clan, what is your identity?" Lal stood up, stared at Al and said, "After reading that diary when I was a child, I tried to talk to the Dragon Clan, but so far only you can talk."

"I..." Al bit his lower lip.

"According to the records in that diary, ordinary dragons have no dragon power, only special dragons can barely use a little dragon power, and the four dragon kings are completely different from other dragons—their bodies There is a lot of dragon power in it! After the big seal 1000 years ago, all dragons should have been sealed with power and the ability to change! Why can you become a human, and that one is injected into the potion? The Dragon Clan of Dragon Power, can you really not think of who it is?"

Al fell silent.
