It doesn't matter what the lord is.

The new dragon snorted and asked, "Are you sure you want to see it? It won't sound good if it gets out."

The guards in charge of guarding looked at each other and fell into deep thought for a moment. Strictly speaking, they were subordinates of the eldest princess Dong Li. Since the last interrogation of the humans captured from Yongtian Kingdom, Dong Li took over the prison and placed them here. In the past, the prison was directly managed by the king. If the dragons in front of them were really sent by the king, their stopping the other party to ask for the token could be interpreted as Dong Li not giving face to the Dragon King.

The new dragon had the upper hand, but he did not push his luck. Instead, he lowered his head and used his teeth to take out a token as smooth as black jade from the bag tied to his body. He said incoherently:

"Did you see it clearly?"

The dragon who was originally guarding here did not dare to step forward to check in this atmosphere, and said vaguely:

"Look carefully... come in."

The new dragon walked in with a swagger. However, the guards who were originally stationed here did not dare to be careless. They followed carefully and watched the new dragon's every move vigilantly. The new dragon did not seem to care. He walked to Lid's cell and looked inside. He saw Lid dying at the foot of the wall. His voice suddenly became higher:

"What's going on? Is the princess planning to kill the criminal?"

The guard who was originally on duty defended himself:

"The criminal is in danger, this is necessary..." Before he finished speaking, the newcomer Long said in a deep voice:

"Necessary? Do you know how important the criminal is? Without him, all the plans would be ruined! What realm is the princess in? She is at the fourteenth level of perfection! What realm is the criminal in? He is not even at the tenth level! There is a difference of five realms. If the princess uses a little force, the criminal will surely die. How can this be considered necessary?"

The dragons responsible for guarding this place also fell silent. In fact, they also thought so.

What kind of person is the eldest princess? She is second only to the emperor and above all others, and the successor of the Dragon King. And what kind of person is Lid? When the two of them stand together, they are like an elephant and an ant.

The elephant could not step on an ant, even if it passed by it, it might accidentally kill it. The dragon guarding this place whispered:

"But the princess said he should be fine..."

Reed cooperated by coughing twice, and bright red blood immediately gushed out of his mouth.

The new dragon looked at the dragon guarding this place. The latter knew that he was in the wrong and silently opened the door of the cell, but still stood guard outside. The new dragon walked in and stopped near Lid, asking without any emotion:

"Hey, stop playing dead, get up!"

Lied did not respond.

The new dragon lowered his head and sniffed, and Lid felt something wet fall beside him. He couldn't move, but he gave Alayya a look, and Alayya immediately put the thing away.

The huge body of the new dragon blocked the view from outside, but it only took a moment, then it turned around and said to the dragon outside:

"As expected of the eldest princess, she has good control over her strength. It seems that he will not die for a while. However, you should also be careful. Next time something like this happens, you must remind the princess. There are still important clues on the criminal. It is better to send more guards here to keep a close watch on him than to hurt him easily."

The guard nodded and said:

"understood."

The new dragon said again:

"Also, don't tell the princess that we were here. In times of emergency, avoid unnecessary suspicion."

The dragon in charge of guarding nodded, thinking that the criminal was still here, seriously injured and unconscious, so as long as he kept a close eye on him, he could just pretend nothing happened tonight. After all, they had just questioned the new dragons, which could be seen as the princess' disrespect for the Dragon King, and the new dragons' sudden visit to the prison in the middle of the night could also be understood as the Dragon King's suspicion of the princess.

For the safety of the dragon clan, it is better to say less about this kind of thing.

The new dragon swaggered away. The guard stared at the cell for a long time, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with Lid and Alayya,

Also slowly relaxed.

When no one was paying attention, Alayya gently loosened her hand. Lid took a look at her hand, and saw something wrapped in a light pink handkerchief. This thing must have been hidden in the dragon's mouth and fell when it opened its mouth.

Reed recognized the handkerchief.

That was the handkerchief he saw Fulei wearing in the palace on Chaoyao Mountain.

37. Teach me, ghost teacher

For Reed, this was probably the most difficult start he had ever experienced.

Being surrounded by the Dragon Clan, one of the six clans in China, with both arms broken and unable to speak, it can be said that the game is at the level of hell from the start.

Lid guessed that Fulei would send the treasure bag in this way because someone from the Abyss Church taught her. She herself was not that smart. Or if she was smart enough to take advantage of the suspicion of the Dragon King and the Princess, she should be able to make a name for herself in the Dragon Clan.

After they separated at Chaoyao Mountain, Lid casually tore off a jade pendant and gave it to Frey, and urged her not to hand it over to the Dragon King, but to find out the truth herself. Now it seems that Frey is most likely to go directly to win over the members of the Abyss Church... This is a very stupid move anywhere, but this time she got it right.

The dragon clan is on guard against the Church of the Abyss, which shows that the Church of the Abyss has the ability to reap all the benefits.

Who is willing to share the benefits with others when they have the ability to keep them to themselves?

Lid's hands couldn't move, but he and Alayya had already cooperated closely. After years of having everything provided for him, Lid was able to communicate with Alayya through eye contact. For example, when Lid looked at the dragons outside and then at the wet "treasure bag" in Alayya's hand, Alayya understood what Lid meant.

She carefully opened the sachet, and inside was a crumpled note. Alaiya carefully flattened the note with her index and middle fingers, took a quick look, and then gently twisted it into a pile of powder with her fingertips. After that, Alaiya gently placed her hand on Lid's thigh. This action made Lid feel as if he was in a large house, drinking with Alaiya like a friend.

Alaiya quietly wrote on Lid's leg and "told" him the contents of the note. "Lid, I am writing to you. My name is Shiyuan, you should remember me."

"Frei found me, and I was willing to trust her for once. It wouldn't hurt the situation anyway." "Even if we weren't there, you would have been targeted by the dragons a long time ago. The church actually saved your life in disguise."

"I am not asking for anything in return. This contact is just to seek cooperation. If you accept, take the pill before dawn."

"After that, you will enter a state of suspended animation, and I will take care of the rest. As a token of my sincerity, I will also give you the goal of this plan."

"Our goal with the dragon clan is to revive the Abyss Ancestor Dragon that has been sleeping underground."

Reed looked at Alayya, and there was indeed a dark brown pill in Alayya's hand.

Lid first asked Alaiya to tear up the cloth strips and swallow them together with the note that had been crushed into powder, to destroy the evidence. Although Alaiya wanted to help her young master do these dirty jobs, Lid shook his head and insisted on doing it himself. The sticky blood wrapped in the indigestible cloth strips and paper scraps passed through his throat. He had a strong feeling of nausea but could only try his best to restrain it.

The reason why Shi Yuan dared to send him a message was because she believed that Lid would keep it secret, and she had no choice but to keep it secret. Unless Lid was determined to go all out, once the matter was exposed, the Dragon Clan would definitely be more strict in guarding against Lid, and then Lid would be unable to do anything he wanted.

After swallowing all the strips of cloth and paper scraps, Reed looked at the pill in Alayya's hand.

To be fair, fake death is indeed a good idea. Only in this way can the stagnant situation be disturbed. But he also believes that the "benefits" of the Abyss Church are not so easy to get. Once Lid falls into a state of fake death, he will temporarily lose the ability to change the situation.

Moreover, Shi Yuan's letter did not explain the pill in detail. Lide had no idea how long the suspended animation could last or whether he needed to take an antidote. Lide stared at the pill, his thoughts racing.

At this moment, the voice of the little ghost appeared in Lid's mind:

"Huhu, you look hesitant. Why don't you ask the magical ghost?" Lid communicated briefly with the little ghost through his consciousness:

"You know this one too?"

The little ghost replied:

"I guess so. In my time, this thing was called Xuanming Pill. After taking it, the whole body will be completely paralyzed, and it is difficult to detect any signs of life. However, this thing needs an antidote to be solved, and there are risks in using it."

Lid asked:

"risk?"

The little ghost's voice sounded again:

"Yes. There are two main risks. The first is that the heartbeat almost stops and the blood flow slows down, which causes great damage. Many people are paralyzed or have dementia after waking up. Many people also die after taking the drug for too long."

The little ghost paused and continued:

"The second risk is that your brain will almost stop responding after taking it. From what I have learned from you, it is like being deeply hypnotized. During this period, other people can use special secret methods to change some of your common sense and cognition. In other words, after taking this, your brain will be defenseless, and you will be very vulnerable when you encounter someone with special skills.

It can directly transform you into a loyal slave or killer."

The little ghost's tone was somewhat nostalgic:

"Because these two side effects are too obvious, and the situation that this medicine was originally designed to deal with no longer occurs, the Xuanming Pill has long been extinct. I didn't expect to see a complete pill now... I just don't know if it is a newly formulated pill or a pill passed down from the past."

Lid couldn't help but ask one more question:

"So what situations did this thing deal with in the past?"

This time the little ghost did not answer immediately. The silence lasted for about ten seconds before Lid's voice resounded in his mind: "Deal with me."

"Kenmeiwan was originally developed to deal with talent disasters. Because I can make people fall into illusions, and this illusion is difficult to break from both the inside and the outside. Many people can only see their companions fall into illusions, their bodies become weaker and weaker, and finally they die."

"So clever humans developed a drug that can temporarily stop the brain activity of living things, so that people who are trapped in hallucinations can be forcibly pulled out of the hallucinations. But after I destroyed several countries, I was no longer interested in becoming a big devil, and I was caught and imprisoned at the bottom of the sea, so the life-saving pill disappeared from this world."

The little ghost talked about her past as if she was talking about a very ordinary thing. Finally, she said to Lid:

"Anyway, think it over before you eat it. That's all I know. As for the antidote, I'm not very good at making it, but I heard that the effect of this thing can only last for ten to twenty days at most. If you can live until then, you can wake up without the antidote. But before that, I guess you'll either be dead or hypnotized into a slave... After all, in my time, this thing has more disadvantages than advantages, so it was banned."

38. The criminal is dead!

The next day, Reed was found dead in prison.

After being beaten by the eldest princess, the criminal's wounds worsened and he died, which became a sensation among the dragon clan.

The dragons have a deep faith in the princess, so in other words, anything about the princess always spreads very quickly. Ordinary dragons don't know the importance of Lid, so the more they spread the news, the more mysterious it becomes, saying that this matter is a big deal. Of course, it's not a big deal, but it's not a small deal either, anyway, it's a big deal.

Before the news of Lid's death spread, the Dragon King and the eldest princess were discussing the future war plans.

"We still have to fight against humans. While they are in civil strife, we must take down Yongtian Kingdom as our foundation. How many troops can we mobilize now?" The Dragon King's voice was calm but full of majesty. He was like an emperor who had completely delegated power, but he was always paying attention to everything in the territory. Dong Li replied:

"There are still 100,000 Flying Dragons and 30,000 elite troops. In addition, there are four elders who agree to send troops to Yongtian Kingdom. If we want to fight, we can send troops tomorrow." The Dragon King closed his eyes and spoke in a steady tone:

"Back then, we fought with the Yongtian Kingdom. They suffered huge casualties, and we failed to occupy that piece of land... Dongli, don't underestimate humans. They have all kinds of flaws and are born weaklings who live in mediocrity, but there are also heroes among them who are not afraid of death."

Strangely enough, when Lid and Alayya stood in front of the Dragon King, the difference in size made the Dragon King look tall and mighty even when he was lying down. But Dong Li was also of human size, but when she stood in front of the Dragon King, she seemed to be able to look him in the eye. Perhaps it was because of their bloodline, their status, or their cultivation level, that allowed her to look the Dragon King in the eye.

In other words, they are just like an ordinary father and daughter. The father has high hopes for his daughter, and the daughter is also outstanding enough.

Dong Li nodded seriously. She would not look down on humans, otherwise she would not have stopped Lid's actions on the day he was imprisoned. But she still had some pride in her bones. She said to the Dragon King:

"Every race has heroes, and my dragon race also has countless brave warriors. I know my father's concerns, but there are still countless disputes among humans. If we contact the demons and giants to invade together, we will definitely not repeat the same mistakes again."

Dong Li threatened humans that if they didn't hand over Lid, the dragons would attack Yongtian. But she didn't say that she would give up attacking Yongtian after Lid was handed over.

Of course, even if she promised, it would be meaningless. Any promise is worthless in the face of absolute interests. Soon, she will lead the dragon tribe to attack all the way to the southwest until they conquer a large area of ​​human land for the dragon tribe to reproduce. The severe cold in the north gives them the desire to fight, but this land is indeed not enough for more dragons to survive.

As for humans, their lives and deaths will probably be in the hands of the dragons, just like they were at Tianyue Mountain.

Kill all humans, after all, they don't

In order to produce, they would also need a large number of slaves to help them do the work. At that time, humans would probably be slaves for generations, serving as both livestock and laborers.

"To be on the safe side, it is better to wait until the matter of the Abyss Ancestral Dragon is settled before sending out troops..."

This time, before the Dragon King finished speaking, a brown dragon stumbled in from outside and shouted, "Oh no! Your Majesty, Princess, the criminal... the criminal has died in prison!"

Dong Li, who had been calm all this time, finally changed his expression. The Dragon King also suddenly opened his eyes, stared at the flying dragon who came to report the news, and asked sternly: "Tell me clearly, what's going on?"

The dragon who brought the news said intermittently:

"I don't know either... This morning when we delivered breakfast to the criminal, we found the woman next to him crying. We immediately opened the cell door and went forward to check. The criminal was already dead, his shoulders and throat were still bleeding, and the upper half of his clothes were stained red!"

Dong Li immediately turned around and left the dragon cave, strode to check the scene.

The Dragon King stared at his daughter as she left. After a moment, he said to the dragon who came to report the news, "Go and call Shi Yuan."

Dong Li went through the snow and arrived at the prison. The place was already surrounded by flying dragons, and when they saw Dong Li, they automatically made way. Dong Li went directly into the prison and saw Alaiya wiping away tears.

Dong Li narrowed his eyes and said to her coldly: "What happened?"

Alaiya raised her head and looked at Dongli, her red eyes full of hatred. "You killed the young master..."

Alayya's voice was slightly hoarse, and the sword energy was lingering around her. Alayya picked up the sword on the ground and stabbed at Dongli without hesitation, but in Dongli's eyes, her speed was still too slow. Dongli easily knocked her sword away, and in the blink of an eye, he grabbed her neck and threw her into the corner, then looked at Lid lying on the ground.

Reed's eyes were closed tightly, and there was no sign of life in his body.

I don't know if the wound has expanded, but the clothes on Lid's shoulder are completely stained with blood. The blood has now dried on his clothes. It can be seen that he must have been in great pain when he was alive. The blood could not stop flowing until he died. Dong Li squatted down and used her delicate hand to feel Lid's breath.

He placed his hand on Reed's chest again to feel his heartbeat, and all was silent.

This person is dead.

The dead can no longer die.

Dong Li exhaled, turned around, looked at the guard at the door, and asked coldly: "Did anyone come here last night?"

The guard naturally wanted to conceal it, and hesitantly said: "No..."

Dong Li raised his hand, and the two wings of a dragon guarding the clan broke off at once, and blood splattered on the prison wall. Dong Li opened his mouth and uttered a word:

"explain."

All the dragon guards did not dare to hesitate, prostrated themselves on the ground, and humbly answered:

"Your Highness, the King is worried that Your Highness may have accidentally killed the criminal, so he sent someone to check last night..."

Before he finished speaking, all the dragon guards felt a sudden pressure as if the sky was collapsing. They all pressed their heads to the ground, not daring to move at all. Even the air made sharp buzzing sounds under the pressure, like thousands of blunt knives scratching glass at the same time.

Dong Li looked at Lid lying on the ground with murderous intent and said:

"The king would not do such a thing. Either the second brother or the third sister did it. I will investigate it later. But before that... She walked in front of Alaiya and lowered her head to look at Alaiya:

"I want to find out. Is the criminal really dead? How did he die? Did you see him? Who was the dragon who came yesterday? What did he say to the criminal? The criminal's hand must have been broken. If the dragon who came yesterday gave the criminal something, it should have been you who handled it... Tell me!"

Dong Li grabbed Alayya's throat again and said to the dragon guards outside:
