Lu Mingfei, become the King of Elden!

Chapter 125 The Old Man and Xiaomei
"Then let's not delay, shall I go and eat these five dragon hearts right now?"

Lu Mingfei thought for a moment, then turned to the old man who was studying the five dragon hearts and said.

The old man did not answer him immediately.

He picked up a dragon's heart with his large, calloused hands, held it in his palm, and held his breath.

As the Dragon's Blessing mark on his palm lit up, the old knight's powerful sensory abilities, combined with the power of the Dragon's Blessing, began to resonate with the dragon's heart.

"What a powerful will!"

The old man's expression was solemn:

"Even death cannot diminish her majesty. She is several times stronger than an ordinary dragon; truly worthy of the title 'Dragon Mother' Guillor."

The old man put down the dragon's heart, looked at the dull-witted boy in front of him, and sighed softly.

His abnormal bloodline and inner nature, like that of an ancient dragon, could indeed offset his desire for the dragon heart and the side effects of transforming into a dragon. After all, you're practically a dragon yourself, so what's the point of talking about transforming into one?
Keguior, the Mother of Dragons, is one of the few beings at the pinnacle of the dragon race. Her life force is incredibly strong, and her will is as firm as a rock. Even when she was divided into five, and even when she was corroded by the crimson corruption, she was still terrifying.

This kid's willpower can be quite stubborn at certain special moments, but normally it's basically like paper—it tears easily and crumbles easily when soaked.

Can he really hold on?

The old man couldn't help but feel worried.

And that's not even the most critical issue.

The dragon's heart can indeed be transformed using the power of the Dragon Offering Chapel through a special ritual, sparing it from the brutal and disgusting process of being eaten alive.

However, this Dragon Offering Church is just an abandoned place on a distant island, long forgotten and unmanaged. The Dragon Offering power contained within it is not non-existent, but rather negligible, barely enough to transform the hearts of some ordinary dragons.

But, Dragon Mother Guilloch?
Just kidding, one second he dares to put Gui'er's dragon heart on it, the next second this altar will collapse to show him, believe it or not?

Either find a larger Dragon Sacrifice Church with stronger Dragon Sacrifice power, or devour it raw, returning to the most primitive form of the Dragon Sacrifice path, abandoning all the technology and assistance accumulated by predecessors, and defeating and taming the power of the dragon with the warriors' own will and strength.

That would further increase the difficulty of the Dragon Offering Ceremony.

He decided to leave the choice to Lu Mingfei himself.

So the old man asked in a serious tone:

"Kid, do you need power lately?"

Lu Mingfei nodded repeatedly.

“Alright,” the old man continued, “then you must eat this dragon heart too?”

Lu Mingfei had some doubts, but he nodded nonetheless.

"it is good."

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the dragon's heart on the ground:

"Eat up, it's right here."

?

Lu Mingfei scratched his head in confusion.

What kind of trick is this old man up to now?
he asked:
"Shouldn't we be using the Dragon Offering Altar?"

The old man shook his head and began to explain:
"The altar here is not strong enough to contain the power of Gui'er. If you want to perform the Dragon Feast ritual, you will have to eat it raw."

Lu Mingfei was shocked:
"What?" He's supposed to eat five dragon hearts that are bigger than his head? Putting aside the taste, won't this stuff stretch his stomach?

Wait, can his stomach really digest this stuff?

The flesh and blood of a dragon's heart are mixed with fragments of rock!
The old man glared at him fiercely:
"Do you think I want this? I'm afraid you'll be completely torn apart by the dragon's will! Listen carefully, with your current level of willpower, you can only eat one."

Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but then realized that something was wrong.

Is it a matter of one or two?
It's a matter of Lu Mingfei's dignity as a modern human being!

"Old man, no, Master," Lu Mingfei raised his head and said weakly, "How about we just forget about it?"

The old man sneered:
“I knew you’d say that. This time, you made your own choice, not the other way around. I, this old man, put a sword to your neck and forced you to choose.”

As a knight, one must not break one's word. Eat!

Lu Mingfei thought about the conversation just now and instantly realized that he had been tricked. His eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly remembered that the old man in front of him was not a good person either!
Now, he has no choice but to eat the dragon's heart, whether he wants to or not!
Lu Mingfei sighed, somewhat understanding how Lu Junyi felt when Wu Yong tricked him into joining Liangshan.

The old knight snorted coldly and said disdainfully:
"Look at you, so pathetic! You're afraid of eating dragon's heart raw, but I'm afraid Gui'er will eat you up!"

As he spoke, he began rummaging through the small cloth bag he always carried with him, and soon found a delicate little medicine bottle.

"what is this?"

Lu Mingfei asked in confusion.

The old man responded calmly:

"The secret medicine made from 'Torina Water Lily' is only a semi-finished product, but it still has the effect of soothing an excited mind. A few years ago, when I was traveling in the border region, I helped an interesting young man, and he gave me this as payment."

This stuff is very effective; it can suppress the dragon's brutal will and has helped me many times. After you eat the dragon's heart, immediately take this; it might save your life.

Lu Mingfei was taken aback.

Torina Water Lily, he had heard Emiya mention it, is one of the rarest materials in the border region.

This must be one of the old man's most treasured possessions, and now, to help him, he took it out without hesitation.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei felt a surge of emotion. He steeled his resolve, decisively picked up a dragon's heart, closed his eyes, and bit down fiercely!
After an unknown amount of time, when Lu Mingfei swallowed the last bit of flesh mixed with gravel, his senses were completely overwhelmed by the stench and burning sensation.

He collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, and tried to vomit violently but couldn't bring himself to do it.

Yes, those who have faded color don't need to eat, but that doesn't mean they don't have a sense of taste!

His hands trembled as he hurriedly took out the secret medicine given to him by the old knight and gulped down the icy liquid. It was like a bucket of cool water, instantly extinguishing the burning sensation, and then—

puff.

He fell asleep.

"He should be alright," the old man muttered, looking at Lu Mingfei's still contorted face in his sleep. "Although it's been diluted with a lot of water, the medicine should still be quite effective."

"Forget it," he shook his head. "Good luck, brat."

At this moment, Lu Mingfei has entered his own battlefield, and only by relying on his own will to defeat the Dragon Heart can he wake up again.

During this long period of time, the old man will have ample time to do something he has wanted to do for a long time.

"That little girl on that brat," he said slowly, gazing at Lu Mingfei, "let's meet her."
