…

After hearing Norton's words, Su Mo nodded confidently.

"That's it, what's wrong?"

After researching the method, Norton and Constantine must be used for experiments. Naturally, the keel crosses of these two people cannot be wasted.

He only needs to keep the lives of two people as promised. As for things other than lives, such as the authority and power of the Dragon King, they are not within the scope of restrictions.

Seeing Su Mo's natural attitude, Norton laughed angrily.

"You asked me to voluntarily dedicate my strength to you, and you said that this matter would also be good for us?"

What benefits can he gain by following Su Mo's words?

As for food, should he be grateful that he can choose his own cooking method?

The golden boy's gaze was so bright that Norton couldn't figure out who could confidently propose such a shameless proposal.

Facing Norton's anger, Su Mo remained unmoved by it.

"At least you can survive this way, right?"

Having said this, he paused and then added.

"Or, you haven't seen the reality clearly yet, and you still think that the power and life in you belong to you?"

After hearing this, Xia Mi immediately nodded and agreed.

"That's right! Your dragon bone cross is now our trophy. My Su Mo is kind-hearted and gave you a chance to save your own life. You should thank him!"

Obviously they can deprive the two dragon kings of their power and lives at the same time, but now they only need to deprive them of their power. Isn't this a kind person?

Look at Xia Mi's awareness. If he were on another urban drama set, he would at least be able to get into a high-class loser position.

When he heard the two singing and singing, Norton's face turned dark.

"Thank you? Thank you for making us lose our power. We are now controlled by others and can no longer protect ourselves?"

As the more mature twin and has experienced more struggles, Norton understands the necessity of strength more clearly.

On the surface, Su Mo's conditions seem to be good.

But if they really dedicate their power, what can they do to protect themselves when they lose their power?

At that time, they will still be in a situation where they are at the mercy of others.

In this troubled world, losing strength is not much different from losing life.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to agree to such an obviously unequal treaty.

After hearing Norton's reply, Xia Mi crossed his arms and snorted dismissively.

"What, you're not convinced? I won't give it to Odin even if he begs me for this condition, and you're still not satisfied?"

This is true. The reason why the bronze and fire twins were allowed to keep their lives was indeed based on the family ties between brothers and sisters - if Xia Mi really had such a thing.

After Xia Mi finished speaking, Su Mo added.

"Even if you have power now, aren't you still controlled by others and unable to protect yourself? To be honest, it doesn't make much difference whether you have power now..."

These words immediately silenced Norton.

The truth is often very heartbreaking, but it is impossible to refute.

Having become prisoners, they seem to have no qualifications to demand this or that.

Anyway, they are not strong enough to protect themselves, so they might as well consider how to survive first.

Seeing Norton fall into silence, Su Mo did not urge him.

In his opinion, as long as the other party thinks rationally, he should be able to judge whether it is good or bad.

If you choose to assist them, you can at least gain life; if you refuse their request, you will only be used to make soup; this is not a difficult decision to make.

However, Su Mo apparently overlooked one point, that is, although dragon kings possess wisdom, they are not all rational creatures.

Just like Miss Xia Mi willfully go to fight for the Dragon King for a mere attribute, once creatures like dragons are taken advantage of, they will often give up calculating the gains and losses and make irrational choices.

After waiting for a few minutes, Su Mo asked.

"How about it, have you thought about it?"

"For the sake of Constantine's life, it seems that I can only agree."

Norton stared at Su Mo expressionlessly, but the words he spat out were as cold and hard as iron.

"But I refuse! You can feed me and Constantine's Dragon Bone Cross to Jormungandr, but I will never agree to your conditions!"

Obviously, he would rather die than compromise.

Seeing Norton's tough attitude, Su Mo finally understood why Xia Mi complained about Norton's bad temper before.

As the elder brother of twins, it is impossible for Norton not to love his younger brother, but his love is different from other dragon kings. The elder brother is like his father, and he belongs to the strict type.

Norton's temper and character can also be seen from the memories occasionally glimpsed in Constantine's mask. It is not without reason that he defines his weakness as "wrath".

With such a stubborn temper, it's not surprising that he would make the choice he did now.

He does love Constantine, and even his plan is to be devoured by Constantine, but he also doesn't mind dying with Constantine.

He would rather die than compromise.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi's eyes suddenly widened.

Originally, she wanted to ask, what does it mean to feed bones to Jormungandr? Is this guy secretly scolding her?

But after realizing what Norton meant, she immediately put this little matter behind her and asked in confusion.

"Why refuse? Are you out of your mind?"

You only need to make a small compromise to ensure the lives of yourself and your brother, so why refuse?

Hearing this, Norton snorted coldly.

"Compromise once, what about the second and third time? After giving up your power, who can guarantee that you will not take action?"

He cannot guarantee his own life when he has authority, and he does not think that his life can be guaranteed after losing authority.

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly came to a standstill.

It is obvious that Norton does not want to hand over his power. He feels that only by having power can he have the right to speak. Otherwise, he will only be cut into sausages step by step and get nothing in the end. It is better to refuse from the beginning.

This idea cannot be said to be wrong.

But for Su Mo's side, they managed to subdue two dragon kings at the same time. If they had to keep their lives and their power in the end, wouldn't their efforts this time be completely in vain?

Naturally, they cannot accept this result.

Looking at Norton's determined expression, it seems that he has made up his mind and it is extremely difficult to reverse it.

Even Su Mo, who has persuasion skills, doesn't think he can easily reverse Norton's will.

The persuasion skill has a strong effect on humans, even almost a command, but it can only play a supporting role for the Dragon King.

Although Su Mo has successfully persuaded Lu Mingze and Xia Mi many times, these are just the icing on the cake based on the consistent positions and interests of both parties. If he wants to forcibly reverse the Dragon King's will, the LV4 [Persuasion] skill cannot yet do it.

However, just because the [Persuasion] skill can't do something, it doesn't mean that Su Mo can't do it.

"If you don't want to, then forget it!"

Su Mo shook his head and sighed.

"Hey, aren't you going to let him help? Why don't you give him a good beating? It might help!"

Xia Mi showed a regretful expression, then clenched a small white fist and waved it threateningly.

Seeing her actions, Norton sneered and looked at this useless sister with disdain.

Stupid Jörmungandr, he has decided to die, what else can threaten a dying man?

"Forget it, what if it's broken? I have to keep him as a backup!"

Su Mo shook his head and stopped Xia Mi.

"spare?"

Xia Mi tilted his head and didn't react for a moment.

"That's what you proposed before! Since he refuses to help, let's follow our original plan and see how far my exclusive speech spirit can separate the Dragon King's authority and will."

Su Mo explained casually without looking at Norton.

"Try using Constantine as an experiment first. If it breaks down, then switch to Norton. You can always try out a feasible solution."

Upon hearing this, Xia Mi's eyes flashed and he immediately understood.

After looking at Su Mo, she hid the evil smile on her lips and asked in a confused tone.

"I know this plan, but why do you need spare parts? The Dragon King's vitality is very tenacious. As long as you pay attention, Constantine will not be killed easily!"

Hearing the topic between the two of them, Norton, who had been sneering just now, was stunned.

They're going to experiment on Constantine?!
