Make the dragon great again

Chapter 19 The Grand Duke's Second Son
William looked disgusted, as if the air here would make him feel sick, and he shook the handkerchief vigorously in front of his face, as if trying to shake off the smell of inferior people that had penetrated into his nose.

"Did you find it?" William asked the attendant, while holding his nose, he hurried back to his carriage full of incense.

A burly attendant replied:
"My lord, I didn't find any trace of Anastasia, but I found some other clues."

"What clues, hurry up, hurry up, oh my god, this place is so dirty, will she really stay here?"

William, who returned to the carriage, took a few deep breaths, as if he wanted to replace all the air "polluted" in his lungs by the breath of inferior people with the fragrant air in the carriage.

The burly attendant ignored the lord's complaints and meaningless rhetorical questions, and answered the previous question:

"We learned from the adventurers here that there was a woman whose features were very similar to the first princess of Bechymos, and some young adventurers entered the Great Mullin Forest half a month ago, and As the nobles of the Behemoth Kingdom secretly informed us..."

"Damn it, Coleman, you idiot! Isn't this all information that you have known for a long time? What kind of clue is this?"

Facing the master's insult, the burly attendant named Coleman remained calm. After William finished scolding, he said:
"Before, we and they just thought that she might go this way and enter the Mullin Great Forest, but there is no clear evidence to prove whether she really went this way and when she entered. Now after confirming the clues, We can..."

"Okay, okay! I know that my father and elder brother think I'm a waste, so I sent you to take care of me. I also know that I have no ability...Damn it! Just tell me what you want to do, I just want to hurry up now Get out of this place where inferior people gather!"

William interrupted Coleman's words, his words were full of emotions, but in the end he broke the can, thinking that he was not the material, and let Coleman take charge of everything.

'Aide' Coleman opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to comfort or apologize, but in the end he didn't say anything. He clenched his right fist and beat his chest, and after performing a knight's salute, he left the commander and went down.

After Coleman walked away, William in the carriage stopped waving the handkerchief in his hand, and the standard dandy expression on his face gradually subsided.

His right hand clenched his fist, and a faint golden light condensed on the fist with difficulty, but in the end it could not be completely condensed, and could only quickly dissipate in William's disappointed eyes.

"Damn..."

William, who was slightly panting, cursed softly, but unlike the exaggerated curses that were exaggerated when he talked with Coleman just now, this soft curse seemed to reveal a bit of sincerity.

A cloud of black mist rose in the relatively spacious compartment, condensed in front of William, and condensed into a blurred old man's face.

"Hehe, Mr. Viscount is really persevering. If I had such poor talent, I would have given up cultivating vitality a long time ago..."

With a gloomy face, William leaned on the huge soft pillow behind him, and said in a deep voice:
"There is only a transactional relationship between us, don't talk too much about unnecessary things, Mr. Magician."

The black mist fluctuated, drifted to William's ear and condensed into the old man's face again, saying softly:

"Don't worry, Mr. Viscount, as long as you hand over Anastasia to me, I can help you wash away the thin Bechymos blood on your body! Let you cultivate your vitality normally."

William didn't reply, and the black mist slowly dissipated after a gloomy chuckle.

Closing his eyes, thinking of what his mother had quietly told him before she died, William felt extremely complicated...

William V. Griffin, the second son of Grand Duke Griffin, has an older brother and an older sister in front of him, and a younger brother and younger sister behind him. William ranks fourth in the successor sequence of Grand Duke Griffin.

Unlike the Behemoth Kingdom, the Griffin Principality is extremely patriarchal. Therefore, among the heirs of the Grand Duke, the status and ranking of male heirs is much higher than that of women, but the reason why William, the second son, ranks Fourth, because his mother was a commoner woman without a noble background, and because of the influence of a message that was once circulated among the principality's upper class...

William's mother has very rare snow-white long hair. When she had just become the Grand Duke's second wife and was still very much loved by the Grand Duke, the aristocratic circle of the Principality, in order to please the Grand Duke, spread the rumor that she was Behemoth who was living in the royal family. Although the rumors about the heirs abroad were clearly false, the young Grand Duke Griffin liked to hear them very much.

Later, William's mother finally divorced the Grand Duke due to political turmoil. In addition, Griffin and Behemoth were once again in diplomatic tension at that time. A glaring mark on the young William at that time.

Knowing that this is a fake, knowing that this is a means deliberately used by someone with intentions to suppress him, but he has to bear this brand to grow up, and even as the second son himself, the sequence of succession that was finally set was ranked first. Four!

William hated those nobles in the Principality who made trouble, and also hated the name of Bechymos who made him suffer...

However, the things that really hit William and made William feel that his fate was unpredictable happened later.

In the family of Grand Duke Griffin, there is a set of precious knight training methods that have been handed down from the ancient kingdom. It can cultivate the vitality of the golden griffin. Poor power.

And William, also put his hope of rising in the future on this training method, hoping that one day he will become a "hero" and be able to use his own powerful power to take back everything that should be from those people!
However, when he started practicing at the age of 12, he realized that he seemed to be a waste with extremely poor talent, and he couldn't even condense a little griffin energy.

When this matter got out, he, who was originally a subtle identity, became the object of ridicule of the principality's upper-class nobles overnight...

Unable to become a knight, William also tried magic, but unfortunately, his talent in magic is worse than that of cultivating vitality. At least when he cultivates the vitality of the golden griffin, he can quickly sense the mysterious power in the air, but learning When it comes to magic, he can't even do the so-called foundation of a magician and perceive his own spiritual power.

After being hit like this, William never recovered, and was only one step away from being completely degenerated into a playboy...

At this time, William's mother, who lived alone after divorcing the Grand Duke, suddenly became seriously ill and was dying. William didn't hate his mother, but he couldn't say how attached he was, but it was still the last journey to accompany his mother.

After William's mother saw her son whom she had not seen for many years, she was very excited. Before she died, she told her child a secret that had been hidden in her heart for more than ten years:

Her ancestry is actually the blood of Bechymos' exiled royal family!And the reason why William has been unable to cultivate the vitality of the golden griffin is because after countless generations, William has miraculously awakened the mysterious blood of the Bechymos royal family, and it was precisely this mysterious blood that inspired him. Under the influence of power, he will not be able to cultivate any other power!
William's mother died after telling the secret, but this secret changed William's life for the rest of his life.

Filled with absurdity, astonishment, anger, puzzlement, secret expectations and other mixed emotions, William finally reined in his horse on the edge of the cliff of complete depravity, pulled himself together, and secretly searched for news that he originated from the blood of the Behemoth royal family.

William had considered secretly cultivating this mysterious blood power, but it was almost impossible for him to get the method, and the relationship between the two countries became more and more tense. If he really possesses this kind of blood power, no matter whether it is out of legal principles or out of selfishness, all parties in the Principality will probably use all means to kill him!

Therefore, he didn't intend to keep this bloodline power from the beginning, but wanted to wash it away by all means!
While playing the role of a dandy and lowering the attention, William secretly searched for a way to relieve the "curse" of his blood, and finally met a mysterious old man who called himself a "dark mage" during his travels in the high tower forest, that is, the black man. The master behind the fog...

Looking at the busy attendants outside the carriage, seeing that they didn't care about his side, William sneered.

"Look, help me find Anastasia..."

The black mist emerged out of nowhere, and said with a hey hey:

"Hey...Don't worry, Mr. Viscount, as long as I find Her Royal Highness who provoked the war between the two countries, I will definitely fulfill my promise and cleanse your blood..."

"Humph! It's better that way."

……

In the forest not far from the town of Rannord, an old man of the human race who looked kindly and looked like a wise mage put away the crystal ball in his hand and muttered to himself:
"This kid probably hides some secrets and backhands... Forget it, he's just a piece of trash that can't even reach brass. Even if he has any plans, what's the use to me? Hehe, when the time comes, the two Once I have a copy of the dragon blood, I can start preparing for my dragon blood promotion ceremony!"

The old man's eyes flashed with unconcealable excitement.

"As long as the ceremony is successfully completed, I will be able to break through the shackles, break the limits of the Gaia species, and become a legend!"

……

To be continued (change first and then change).

I don't know if I can catch up with next week's recommendation if I change my status on Wednesday, I'm a little looking forward to it.

　On the afternoon of the 19th, I finally changed my status and got off the list of fantasy newcomers. I was a bit reluctant, but it seems that after this status, I was ranked fourth on the list of newcomers signing new books in the fantasy area, but this list seems to be only available on the website. ...
