Chapter 233 What does it mean to hook up with a princess? The brother's success is even more worrying!
"Wait, aren't we talking about Gorton? Why am I being shown this dragon-vein-like pig-like lump of flesh?"
Red Dragon wiped the saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with confusion.
Galos did not speak, but his mental state was not calm, clearly showing some surprise. He sat up from his prone position in Dragon Valley.
"That's Gordon."
Iron Dragon Sorog said slowly.
"But it seems he was used as an experimental subject, subjected to some kind of cruel torture, and his body became twisted and obese into a ball."
Samantha was shocked and furious.
"How vicious! Damn it, how dare they turn noble dragons into pigs!"
Her roar echoed across the Black Iron Plains, and the servants on the surrounding alchemy production line tensed up, daring not to slack off, and quickened their pace.
Galos: "Did you establish a blood-related chain with Gorton?"
Sorog: "He set it up, and I asked him why, but he didn't say anything for a long time. Perhaps he was too ashamed of his current situation and felt utterly hopeless."
Galos: "Contact him first, I'll ask about the situation."
Sorog: "Okay."
Iron Dragon lay prone on the high platform of the steel nail sentry post, his eyes closed. Using himself as the central hub, he activated his spiritual energy, lighting up the bloodline threads that connected Gorton and linking all the blood relatives together.
In an instant.
A round, ball-like mental entity appeared simultaneously in the mental visions of Garus, Samantha, and Sorog, and they could also sense and communicate with each other, forming the Ignas brothers' 'chat group'.
"Wait until Sorog's level becomes higher."
“This group of Ignas brothers will one day become the Ignas family group.”
Galos thought to himself.
When he personally sensed Gorton's mental state, even with Galos's composure, his pupils contracted slightly.
Good heavens, it really is fat and bloated.
In terms of sheer size, Gorton was no less imposing than him, and perhaps even slightly larger. However, Gorton was covered in soft, greasy fat, while Garros had muscles like cast iron, making him imposing and extraordinary.
at the same time.
Iron Dragon Gorton's mental form opened a slit-like eye to observe and perceive its surroundings.
He didn't react much when he noticed Sorog, after all, they had just met.
But when he spotted Garros, his small eyes widened immediately, and his flesh rippled: "Garros?!"
"It's me."
"Garos said."
When Gordon saw the Red Iron Dragon's jagged spikes and streamlined muscles, his small eyes gleamed with almost devout envy: "This is the look I've always dreamed of!"
Jinba's strong and powerful physique.
A rugged and ferocious physique.
A commanding presence without needing to be angry.
Ugh! Why wasn't it me?!
No, I can't go on like this anymore. I need to emulate Galos!
Inside the palace, Gorton unconsciously sucked on his belly, which was almost touching the ground.
He looked down at his round belly and vowed for the thousandth time to control his diet, full of determination and ambition.
“Gorton, my foolish brother, ha ha ha, you’re as fat as a pig, no, no pig is fatter than you, you’re like a super pig in dragon’s skin.”
Samantha didn't hold back her sarcasm.
Except when she's in front of Garus, she's always very aggressive.
The familiar taste was mocked by the red dragon, but Gorton wasn't angry. Instead, he suddenly felt like he had returned to the past.
"What do you know, you muscle-bound red dragon?"
He retorted and defended himself.
"I just have a big stomach, I'm not obese! These are my strategic reserves, you can't become like that even if you wanted to."
He shook his body, causing his flesh to surge, and groaned, "If we fight, I'll let you fight for ten minutes first. Your claws won't even be able to touch my flesh."
Red Dragon wasn't angry; instead, he laughed a few more times.
Gorton's counterattack and rebuttal were too weak and lacked any real impact.
"Enough with the small talk."
Galos cut to the chase, asking calmly, "Gorton, tell me, who turned you into this? What happened to you?"
Gordon was speechless and didn't know what to say.
"Maintaining four blood kinship chains at the same time consumes a lot of my spiritual energy."
Sorog urged, "Gorton, just say what you have to say, don't hesitate any longer."
After a few seconds of silence, Gordon flicked his short, thick tail, sighed with a worried expression, and said, "I really don't know where to begin; it's a long story."
Galos asked, "Why are you within the Federation's territory?"
Although he felt a little ashamed, when questioned by Red Iron Dragon, Gorton honestly replied, "I was captured by humans."
After the question-and-answer guidance was provided.
He then opened up and continued, "Back then, the princess of the Kingdom of Lorthen wanted a dragon as a playmate, so I was sent to the royal court."
"I thought the royal court would be a dangerous place, but I didn't expect those humans to be so fond of me and give me whatever I wanted."
“Especially Princess Elena, she would rather cut her own expenses to give me the best living conditions.”
silence.
Garoth, Sorog, and Samantha fell silent after hearing the Iron Dragon's story.
The blood-related network was completely silent.
Under the silent gaze of his fellow countrymen, Gorton broke the silence and said, "You may think that my becoming a pet of the royal court is a disgrace to the dragons."
"But I don't think so."
"After all, I don't need to do anything every day. Those humans will provide for me unconditionally, using whale oil to maintain my dragon scales and giving me delicious and rare delicacies. They are more like my servants."
"Yes, that's right, they are all my servants."
At that moment, Galos understood.
Gorton wasn't tormented by experiments; he was simply spoiled rotten. He was lazy and gluttonous, and living off his wife turned him into this.
He probably hasn't experienced any real hardship since leaving the sinkhole territory.
Damn it!
Damn it!
Damn it!
Hong Tielong's eyelids twitched involuntarily a few times.
The Kingdom of Lorthorn, the core of the Federation, remains the wealthiest kingdom even as it crumbles, enjoying the resources of the entire Federation.
Even a lazybones like Gordon could be force-fed into such an obese physique.
If the resources he could enjoy were given to Galus.
Galos could hardly imagine what heights he would reach now.
It is certainly hateful that a brother suffers torment, but it is even more heartbreaking that a brother succeeds.
This time, the young dragons from the border region fell silent.
Why are you all so quiet?
A few seconds later, Gordon asked.
Galos took a deep breath and calmed himself.
There's nothing to envy.
Since fate has no favor to offer, then rely on yourself, on your unwavering will, and on the accumulation of day and night, to obtain everything you desire step by step.
“Gorton, I remember you used to dream of going to the South, and now you’ve finally gotten your wish.”
Red Iron Dragon reminded, "With the Holy King gone, the Lorthen Federation is already in turmoil, and a storm is brewing. As an Iron Dragon, you should be well aware of the current situation."
Upon hearing this, Gordon sighed.
“I know that the atmosphere in the royal court has become increasingly tense recently.”
He stated unilaterally, "However, Princess Elena and I are in love."
“I now have my own princess. This is the first step towards becoming a super dragon. In any case, I must find a way to protect Elena in the chaos to come. She is my most precious treasure.”
Dragons and princesses have always been a perfect match.
Those top-tier evil dragons have all had the experience of abducting princesses in their long lives. They will seize princesses as their companions, or use them to extort wealth, or lure and kill adventurers who want to be heroes and save the damsel in distress.
What does it mean when a princess falls in love with you?
Galos looked at Gorton's 'rounded' body with disbelief.
Samantha, the red dragon, instantly targeted Gorton and launched a dragon attack: "Does a princess even want a pig like you? Even human village girls would turn and run away at the sight of you."
Iron Dragon Gorton snorted and said, "You brainless red dragon, what do you know? I don't bother to talk to you."
If it were to take human form, its obese appearance might be disliked.
But he was a dragon, and the chubby dragon was actually quite lovable to humans. Gordon was practically a 'social butterfly' in the royal court, and countless nobles considered it an honor to be able to feed him.
Someone of Viscount rank isn't even qualified to see him.
"Heh, putting everything else aside, Gordon, you're probably only able to roll around now, can you even fly?" Samantha continued to mock.
When Gorton appeared, she felt her IQ soar, and she was finally no longer the worst among the Ignas brothers.
"That's why I told you you wouldn't understand."
Fei Tielong patted his small wings, which were disproportionate to his body, and said, "The high-ranking spellcasters in the palace personally inscribed spell runes on me. I have countless spell effects solidified on my body, such as flight, levitation, and acceleration. I can fly much faster than you."
Red Dragon scoffed, completely disbelieving.
"Alright, you two shut up for now, let's get down to business."
Galos's words interrupted Gorton and Samantha.
He asked Gorton, "Since you want to protect the princess and are therefore staying at the Lorthene Royal Court, do you have any concrete plans?"
