Chapter 165 About Dragons (2/2)
”Poison it?”
”With the ingredients we've collected, I can recreate the poison that was used on Grandfather” There was some pride in Snowcloud's eyes ”That's ill use on the dragon”
Arran breathed a sigh of relief ”So ait for the poison to kill the dragon, and then we collect its blood?”
”Not exactly,” Snowcloud replied ”Dragons are highly resistant to poison, and although this poison should be strong enough to make it fall ill, it will eventually recover Once it does, its blood will be an antidote to the poison”
Arran frowned ”But how can we kill the dragon if we allow it to recover?”
”That's the difficult part,” Snowcloud said, her expression turning soht when the effects of the poison begin to wear off, but while it's still too weak to fight If we're too late, we cannot defeat the dragon And if we attack too soon, the dragon's blood will kill me”
”The blood will kill you?” Arran asked, confused ”Isn't the blood intended for your grandfather?”
Snowcloud took a deep breath, then gave Arran a hesitant look ”The antidote in the dragon's blood will only keep for a few days after it dies,” she said ”But if I take it myself, the immunity will be passed on to me, and I can use soh, she added, ”At least, that's how it's supposed to work”
For severalat Snowcloud in astonishment When he finally spoke, he could not keep the disbelief froon as strong as a Master, so it, and then drink its blood while hoping it doesn't kill you?” He gave Snowcloud a flat stare ”And you think that's going to work?”
By now, any enthusiasone Snowcloud's plan — if it could even be called that — sounded like suicide He had no idea of how they'd even poison the dragon, and that was just the first step Everything that came after was pure insanity
”I know it sounds like madness,” she replied ”But I don't know of any other way to cure Grandfather And if he doesn't recover, it won't just affect me — without him, the conflict in the Sixth Valley can only descend into war” She looked at Arran dejectedly ”If you don't want to come with me, I understand But I cannot turn back fro his time to consider the situation By any reasonable standard, Snowcloud's plan was utterly insane Thousands of things could go wrong, and the chances of it working seeed ”I've followed you this far I h”
The plan was purean entire ares by hierous for the both of theether, it would be all but impossible for Snowcloud to succeed without his help — and it was clear that she had no intention of turning back, no lad to have you with me,” Snowcloud said, relief visible in her eyes Deterht be, it was clear that she understood how little chance she had of succeeding by herself
”There's one thing you should know,” Arran said
”What is it?” Snowcloud asked
”If we die, I' you”
