Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

"Look here, steamed buns!"

"There must be a secret room here!"

Singo found a secret door and easily picked the old lock.

Steamed Bun complained: "You are a majestic warrior. You don't care if you notice it, but you even ordered the Skillful Hands skill?"

Singo said righteously: "Professional masters must learn to integrate everything. Isn't this just to deal with this situation? Think about it, if it weren't for my skillful hands, wouldn't you be trapped here?"

"Tsk."

Mantou was dismissive of this and was skeptical of the previously mysteriously lost gold coins.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, don't let the monster catch up later."

Singo opened the secret door and got into the narrow tunnel first, followed closely by Steamed Bun. There were constant rustling sounds in the tunnel, and finally they arrived at a dark secret room.

Singo skillfully took out the spare glowstone, illuminated his field of vision, and his eyes suddenly became clear.

"This is……"

To their surprise, the secret room was not too small, and it was more than enough to accommodate the two of them. The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, and there were spider webs all over the corners. It looked like it had been idle for many years.

The equipment in the secret room is quite complete, including beds, quilts, and desks. There are a few quill pens, yellowed papers on the table, and there are even childish graffiti on the wall, which makes it feel like home. .

Steamed Bun looked at the graffiti on the wall.

Those patterns are quite simple, but colorful. It can be seen that the specific painting is a warm family, including a man, a woman and a little girl. The background is mostly dark towers, some humans wearing black robes, and terrifying dragon.

From the messy brushstrokes, you can see the little girl's fear of those existences.

"A child's bedroom."

"It's unimaginable that someone could live in a place like this."

Steamed Bun sighed.

"Steamed buns! Look what I found?"

Singo opened the cabinet of the small desk and seemed to find something strange inside.

"What is it? Show it to me."

Mantou leaned over and saw that it was a simple diary. It seemed to be carefully preserved, but due to the long time, the pages were even somewhat rotten. Some of the pages were roughly torn out, and there were several big words written on the cover. Text——"Valena's Diary"

"Valena's Diary."

Steamed Bun's expression suddenly became complicated and uncertain. He seemed to have some terrible guess in his heart, which made him silent and just turned the pages of the book carefully.

The handwriting inside is clumsy and childish, full of childlike innocence.

"On January 3rd, this was my first diary entry that my mother asked me to write. As usual, my father told me not to speak out, otherwise the bad guys from the Dragon Witch Cult outside would arrest me. It's terrible. The dragon will eat me in one bite, but I will always be obedient.”

"On January 4, I stayed in the room and didn't speak. Dad said I was very good."

"On January 5th, I was still in the room. I found a cute animal today. My father said it was a spider. I invited it to eat black bread with me."

"On January 6, my mother brought me a book called "Beautiful Birds". It told the story of the little bird family. I liked it very much."

"On January 7, I was reading a book in my room, and there was a cute mouse accompanying me. I named him Te Te. As a reward for reading with me, I let him chew a page of the book."

"."

"On February 15th, my father had not been back for a long time. I was very happy when he came back to see me. He told me that he would soon defeat those bad guys and rescue my mother and me from this tower. Our family will be like It’s the same in the story, always together.”

"On February 16, my father told me a lot. He said he would show me the outside world. I was very happy."

"February 17 is, stay in your room."

"On February 18, I stayed in my room. There was no food. I was so hungry."

"On February 22, I ate Te Te, but I was very sad."

"On February 23, my mother finally came back. She brought me food, but she cried a lot. She said he was chosen to be a 'sacrifice' and might never come back again. I hugged her for a long time. ”

"On February 24th, it seems that dad hasn't been back for a long time."

"On March 17, my mother celebrated my twelfth birthday. I was very happy. I asked her why my father didn't come back, but she didn't answer. I could see that she was a little sad."

"On July 16th, I really want to see the outside world. I want to have a friend."

"."

On December 27, my mother didn’t come back for 7 days. I was very scared. "

"On December 30, my father had been away for a long time. If my watch remembers correctly, it should have been ten months. Today he finally came back, but he told me that my mother was dead. I cried."

"On January 20, my father told me that my mother's death was worthwhile and great. I couldn't understand what he was saying, but I was very scared. He seemed to be a different person. He used to love my mother very much."

"January 21st, staying in the room shaking."

"."

"On September 12, my father told me that he had defeated the bad guys. I asked him if he could leave here, but he didn't speak."

"On September 13, I was taken out of the room, but my father still refused to allow me to leave the tower. I was very angry. In my opinion, this tower was like the cage mentioned in the book, very unfree."

"On September 14, a girl named Mary was taken into the tower. She was about my age. She was very scared. I hope to become friends with her."

"On September 15th, I stayed in the tower, but I secretly came back here. It made me feel at ease here. Here, I can think of my father, who still loved me and my mother very much at that time."

"On September 16, there was a strange noise in the tower, but my father wouldn't tell me what it was, and Mary was also very scared."

"On October 1, that voice got louder and louder, and I was scared."

"On September 16, my father was really different from before. I missed my mother and cried for a long time."

"I don't know when it was, but my father told me not to resist. His original words were "to welcome the noble evolution with a happy attitude." I didn't understand what he was talking about, but he made me more and more scared."

"Dad is really completely different from before. He would never treat me like this before. He definitely wouldn't. I'm so scared."

"Mary said Dad was a bad man."

"Dad didn't let me see Mary. He said that Mary had done something wrong and would be punished. I would see her in the future."

"Dad said he was doing it for my own good. As long as he obeyed, he could go out. I think that's the case."

"I will obey."

"On the first day, scales grew on my body and it hurt."

"The next day, there were more scales."

"On the third day, thorns appeared on my back. It still hurt, but my father was very happy. He told me that he was almost successful. I was very happy to see my father happy."

"On the fourth day, I felt like I had become a bad person. My father fed me some meat. He told me that it was edible, but I felt something was wrong. My nose is very sensitive now, and I seemed to smell... …the smell of Mary.”

"On the eleventh day, there is still no change today. My father said that he was very disappointed in me and scolded me as an inferior species for failing to live up to his expectations. I cried so much that I didn't know what I did wrong."

"On the twelfth day, Dad said he found a new way."

"On the fourteenth day, my father replaced my hand with a new one. Although I was used to it, it still hurt. But he told me not to cry. I held back. I couldn't make my father angry anymore."

"On the fifteenth day, I felt a little strange."

"."

The following pages were roughly torn out.

I flipped the buns to the bottom in one breath and couldn't help but gasp.
