I'm at the top of the food chain

This multi-party meeting did not go on for as long as Lu Shaoyu thought. In fact, most of what the Black Dragon King Danzerian said was already said by Neltharion. Lu Shaoyu listened carefully, but still felt that he did not say it again. Necessary, I figured it out after much deliberation.

Sure enough, this group of people came here for dinner. I am ashamed to admit that I am here for business.

Lu Shaoyu: ...

Sure enough, he was too naive.

However, when going to bed at night, Lu Shaoyu managed to lose sleepiness. When he thought of leaving the imperial capital with Neltharion tomorrow and setting foot on other territories completely unknown to him, he felt a little nervous Excitement, this feeling is like every time the instructor announces a new field training location, he is worried about the unknown situation that may happen, but also very excited about this adventurous journey.

He tossed and turned on the bed like a pancake, without any sleepiness.

The black dragon lay beside the stone bed, and opened its amber vertical pupils amidst the sound of him rolling around.

"Can't sleep?"

Lu Shaoyu felt that his turning over was actually quite light, but he forgot that the hearing of the dragon clan was as sensitive as the sense of smell. In such a quiet environment, even the slightest sound could not be hidden in the ears of the black dragon.

"Anoying you?"

The black dragon flicked its tail, but did not answer this question, but asked another question, "Thinking about leaving the imperial capital tomorrow?"

Lu Shaoyu simply turned over and sat up, looking to the side, after the moonlight poured down from the huge tall windows, there was only a little twilight left, the black dragon was bathed in this twilight, the black scales were covered with a layer of white Silver light, without the image of a ferocious and cunning dragon in western mythology, is instead like a guardian of justice, persistently and firmly guarding what he cherishes.

Lu Shaoyu secretly sighed in his heart, creatures like dragons are really favored by the heavens, they are powerful, brave, and fearless, the magic and beauty seem to only exist in legends, Lu Shaoyu never dreamed that one day there would be such a group of dragons for real It really appeared in front of my eyes.

After a while, Lu Shaoyu gave a soft "hmm", then got out of bed and sat cross-legged beside Heilong.

"Brother Long, are you afraid?"

Lu Shaoyu asked without thinking.

The black dragon leaned its head on its front paws, snorted, and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

Lu Shaoyu was fascinated, "Aren't you afraid of the coming war? You fight so scary, you will definitely die."

If the dragons who can spray water and fire are like gods, if they fight each other, they don't need to think about how terrible the scene will be. Isn't Nelthario not afraid at all?

The black dragon stared at Lu Shaoyu fixedly, as if thinking, but Lu Shaoyu didn't speak, just quietly waiting for the black dragon to speak.

"Emperor Capital existed before I was born."

"The first rule of the imperial capital is that members of the same clan must not fight each other. Those who violate it will be expelled from the imperial capital and will never be allowed to return."

"I have obeyed this rule since I was born, and never thought of breaking it."

"However, Alsos is different. He is more than 3000 years old, and his life span is 1000 years longer than that of Danzel Ryan."

"He has dominated the Misty Swamp for more than 1000 years. The laws of the imperial capital can only restrain the imperial capital. In the territory of the Dragon Clan, the imperial capital is actually nothing at all. Not everyone is willing to be ruled, let alone people who are born with arrogance. But there are few people who don't want to rule others. Alsos's ambition has probably been born since he entered the imperial capital. He challenged Danzerian's father, that is, my grandfather Clotho Ince, however, was invincible and defeated."

"The dragons are born to like the strong, and so is Grandfather Clothos. He welcomes every dragon who comes to challenge him. Naturally, he never regards Alsos as an enemy. On the contrary, he thinks highly of him. Alsos His wisdom and strength determined his status in the imperial capital to be higher and higher until my father Danzerian succeeded to the throne."

"It's about this time that Alsos realized that he didn't want to take orders from anyone, especially Danzerian, who was more than 1000 years younger than him and was just a kid in his eyes."

"Green dragons are inherently cunning, and Alsos is one of the best. He can endure humiliation for power. In the eyes of many dragons, he is loyal to Danzerian, if it is not for Alred."

It was the first time for Lu Shaoyu to hear Nesario speak for such a long time in one breath, as if he regarded him as a listener. To Lu Shaoyu's surprise, he felt that it seemed to be quite good.

"Alred, is that the green dragon Alred who was expelled from the imperial capital?"

The black dragon flicked its tail and patted the bed lightly.

"Well, the son of sister Alsos, Alred."

The atmosphere was originally very serious, but when Lu Shaoyu thought of this awkward relationship, he somehow wanted to laugh. He held back his smile for a long time and asked, "Well, what then?"

"It wasn't until Alred was born that Danzerian finally understood Alsoos' tricks."

"Alred's mother never liked Danzerian, and only she didn't sincerely want to give birth to him, but it was because of Alsos."

"Although she was forced to give birth to Alred for Danzerian, she never stopped pursuing freedom. Alsos promised her that as long as Alred was born, she would never care about her again."

"That's why Alred never won his mother's favor, and it was only at this time that Danzerian slowly discovered Alsos' plan."

Lu Shaoyu sat up straight suddenly, "Wait, I suddenly remembered that Alred colluded with your other brothers to besiege you, couldn't it be Althos's doing!"

The black dragon shook its huge head, "No, Alsos is not so stupid. He won't do things that would obviously offend Danzer Ryan. But it was Alred's recklessness that made Danzer Ryan You can see clearly how much Alsos covets the position of king."

"Afterwards, he became furious and expelled all his sons except me and Nasriel from the imperial capital, because he realized that no matter who took the position of heir, he would be the target of Alsos. You can’t keep everyone safe at the same time.”

Listening to this completely different version of the story, Lu Shaoyu widened his eyes in surprise, "That means he didn't drive them away because he liked you partiality?"

Heilong looked at him fixedly, without speaking.

Lu Shaoyu was thinking about it, but suddenly he was a little startled. Not only that, Danzerian's actions excluded everyone, but only kept Nelthario in the middle of danger.

Because from then on, Alsos's goal will not be aimed at others, but only Neltharion.

Heilong didn't say anything, but in Lu Shaoyu's mind, it seemed that this was the case.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, but couldn't help feeling sorry for Nelthario.

"Danzel Ryan, he used you as a target to attract Alsos' attention?"

Use your most beloved youngest son?

Lu Shaoyu couldn't figure out the brain circuit of the Black Dragon King at all. He thought that the Black Dragon King drove away all the other sons, leaving only Nesario and Danzerian to protect him, but now that he thinks about it, it is not the case at all. son.

Probably because the distress and shock on Lu Shaoyu's face was a little obvious, but there was a little smile in the black dragon's bright eyes.

"Are you worried about me?"

Lu Shaoyu didn't think much about it, and admitted without hesitation, "Of course, the Black Dragon King's play is too much."

But Nelthario didn't look angry at all, on the contrary, there was an extremely firm look in his eyes.

"Danzer Ryan loves me very much."

This was probably the most disgusting thing Neltharion would say. Although there was no ups and downs in his tone, it was obvious that he was serious.

Lu Shaoyu somewhat disagreed, "Pushing his favorite son in front of people like Alsos?"

Is this also called love?Can this be called love?

"No, he knows exactly what he's doing, and so do I."

Well, he's the only one who doesn't seem to be so clear.

"The growth of a king cannot be smooth sailing. It must be accompanied by setbacks, pain and injury, so that people can be invincible. These are the original words of Dan Zerian."

Lu Shaoyu was stunned for a while, but still felt that he could not understand such an education method.

"It is because he loves me the most that he chooses to let me accept all of this."

Let your favorite son grow up in the most dangerous environment?This coincides with the educational philosophy of some developed countries on the earth, but Lu Shaoyu is still a little nervous. He pushes Neltharion to the mouth of the beast, Althos, and watches them interact with each other. fight.

Danzerian would know that Neltharion would become a stumbling block on Alsos' ambition.

But now he can't accuse him of anything. He still can't let go, but he has begun to understand that Danzelion wants to make Neltharion strong enough to support the entire imperial capital, and he has taken great pains. It seems a little cruel.

"Are you feeling sorry for me?" Nelthario's tone was light, but he seemed to be in a good mood.

Lu Shaoyu wanted to admit it casually, but suddenly felt the gentle expectation in Nesario's tone. After thinking about it, he wanted to hold back the words that came to his lips, and said, "Anyone would feel distressed if this kind of encounter were made."

Nesario lowered his eyes, and said "Yes", "The one who objected most is my mother."

Lu Shaoyu sighed, "It's conceivable." My favorite son was pushed out by her husband as a target, and no mother would be able to understand it.

Although it's not right to say that, Lu Shaoyu just feels uncomfortable, especially for the Black Dragon King Danzerian.

"I never thought it was a kind of cruelty. He wanted me to bear more wind and rain and become stronger in the wind and rain."

Lu Shaoyu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, okay, let's just treat him as a pain in the ass for him.

Heilongye's eyesight was extremely strong, and Lu Shaoyu's expression could not be hidden from his eyes at all. He snorted, as if laughing, which made Lu Shaoyu's eyes widen.

"But I regret it now."

"what?"

"I don't want to be a king, and I don't want to take on such a huge responsibility as the imperial capital. I have more important things to do."

These few words Heilong said were extremely gentle, and when he said them in that low, hoarse voice, Lu Shaoyu couldn't help shaking, he had the awkward feeling that Nesario was talking to him, although Nesario's words seemed to be intended for him, Lu Shaoyu hastily turned his head aside, and stammered as if nothing had happened, "Then, let's go..."

"Well, so I've never been afraid of Alsos, not in the past, and even less in the future."

"I had a new purpose and he was more than anything to make me strong."

Lu Shaoyu had goosebumps all over his body. He admitted that he was very moved, but... it was heartwarming and embarrassing! !He never knew that Nesario, with facial paralysis, said such nasty words in a set pattern, and he was about to be overwhelmed! !If you go on, it will really bend! !

Lu Shaoyu kept complaining in his heart in order to make himself care less and maintain a calm face.

Then he heard Heilong say, "I'm done talking, go to sleep."

Lu Shaoyu stood up abruptly, "Okay, Brother Long, go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Then he climbed up straight on the bed and lay on it like a dead body.

The black dragon hung his head down on his front paws in frustration, and added silently in his heart.

After defeating Alsos, he will tell Denzerian that he doesn't want to be a king, he just wants to be with him.
