Law of the Dragon

Larry didn't know how long he slept, and it was already evening when he woke up.Soft orange lighting floods the room, reflected in a more refined glow by the decorations.He blinked, and suddenly realized that this place was not his dream, but reality, otherwise how could he wake up in the same place every time.

He made a smart move and sat up abruptly, but his body protested like it was falling apart. He sat on the bed and sucked in a breath of cold air.He tried hard to recall that he and the refugees lived in the legendary dark forest—the legendary stronghold of the God of Darkness, which was not as terrifying as in the legend.Although the conditions were difficult, all the people decided to stay here. The emperor would not accept them. Food would be provided in the forest. At the end of autumn, they planned to go to the third district.The third district is being hit by disaster, but they can fish in troubled waters.

The Black Forest under the rule of the imperial capital does not seem to be so inaccessible. The person in charge of the patrol found the intruders. Although it was only a quick glance, judging from their dress and temperament, they should be the upper class of the imperial capital, and it is even possible It's noble...

Afterwards, he went to report to the police, and Cohen said that he must move quickly and pay close attention to the actions of the three people, but just when he was about to act, he heard that his father had been kidnapped by something, and then...

Larry covered his head with some headaches, but couldn't remember anything after that.

"Are you awake?"

Larry looked towards the window, the light delicately outlined the outline of a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old.He was wearing a beige loose long robe with shiny gold and silver threads woven inside, and a white tunic shirt inside. Although the style was simple, the gems inlaid on it exuded a luxurious look. shine.

Larry swallowed, this is a world that judges people by their appearance, and you can easily tell their status from their clothes.The youth's coat was of gold gauze, a light weaving cloth woven with threads of gold and silver.Generally speaking, only the royal family used this cloth, but wealthy nobles and even some wealthy merchants may occasionally buy some.He had once seen the lord own such a piece of clothing, and he cherished it very much.

Of course, neither the other party's clothes nor the layout of the room could be afforded by ordinary nobles.Larry couldn't help guessing the identity of this young man. In the past six months, he has traveled to many places and has rich experience, but he is getting farther and farther away from the upper class.

"My lord...?" Larry didn't dare to speak, but the other party's eyes fell on him, but there was a kind of temptation and planning, so he spoke cautiously.

The other party shrugged and walked over.When he got closer, Larry realized that the other party was a very handsome boy, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with long blond hair tied up casually, and occasionally a few strands fell on his forehead, which set off his fairer skin, even with A trace of paleness.His eyes are a rare golden color, and his brows are slender, giving people a feeling of arrogance and inaccessibility.He stood there without saying a word, his eyes looked at him for a while, and he smiled: "Are you hungry? Can you get up? Although I didn't catch up with dinner, I have a lot of snacks, or later, you You can wait for my supper."

Such enthusiastic words surprised Larry. He stared blankly at the other party, as if he couldn't figure out the situation.

The boy put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "Your father sold you to me, and you can live with me...but if you don't want to, I will let you leave with your father." Before Larry could speak, the boy He bent down again, looking at him with a smile in his golden eyes, "Your father sold you to me and left with the money, are you angry?"

Larry asked subconsciously, "Why should I be angry?"

The boy narrowed his eyes, and Larry realized that although he was smiling just now, there was no smile in those golden eyes, as if he was just making such an action.

"Why aren't you angry?" The other party felt that this seemed unreasonable, and his tone rose slightly, "He abandoned you and exchanged you for money with me like a commodity!"

Larry obviously noticed the other party's unhappy expression. In their class, although the law does not allow it, buying and selling spouses and children is very common and normal.

"Should I be angry, my lord?" Larry tried his best to sound calm, but still stammered, "Yes, I am sad but not angry, because my father and I are separated, and I may never be happy." Can't see him."

"Are you that sure?" The young man waved his hands contemptuously, the sapphire cuffs shining under the light, "He didn't even ask me about your situation when he took the money away, but you didn't even care about your life to save him .”

Eros looked at the boy's blue eyes without the slightest haze of abandonment, and such a conversation seemed to be satirizing his own self-righteousness.Without waiting for the boy to answer, he snorted softly, turned and left the room.

"Didn't you say you made a bet?" A brisk voice came from the door.

Eros closed the door, and saw Duke Sacre leaning against the door. The candlelight in the corridor fell into his dark blue eyes, making them look blurry, and his black hair seemed to blend into the black shadow beside him. Standing there on the shoulders, there is a faint smile on the corner of the mouth, as friendly as a friend, full of kindness.

Eros snorted, but didn't turn around and leave. Although he didn't want to admit it, he felt pretty good standing beside Thakro.It may be because in this human world, he is the only one who knows that he is not human, or he also knows that Sa Keluo is not human either.

"We made a bet just now, didn't we?" Sacromer looked at him with a smile in his blue eyes, embarrassing Eros, regretting that he should have turned around neatly.

So, he put on a sullen face, with an unhappy expression—he is the king, and it is a very serious matter for the king to be unhappy, so as the duke, Thakro should have self-knowledge and quickly change the subject.

"Looks like I've won," said Duke Thacklow, who didn't understand the king's cryptic expression at all, discussing the issue in a cheerful tone, "Look, let's bet if the kid will be angry-he didn't Angry, isn't it?"

"Huh, this weak race is indeed refreshing the lower limit every moment," Eros said coldly, why is he making such a bet?On the outside, he pretended not to care at all.

Sa Keluo stood up straight and walked to Eros: "Well, you can look at the problem from another angle."

"Why should I stand from another angle, I represent my own angle," Eros said disdainfully, not avoiding Duke Sacre's gaze at all.

The other party smiled, and his tone became slower: "I think, human beings probably... think that although giving up is a very painful thing, it will bring happiness to another person they love, so they will Choose to let go weakly."

"...Absurdity." Eros commented coldly.

Sa Keluo smiled and did not continue to argue with him: "Isn't such a human being very interesting?"

Eros turned and walked to the other side of the corridor: "It's not interesting at all. I'm surprised that you blended into human society and lived a comfortable life. No one noticed your difference. You even have a lot of human relatives. I'm so surprised how did you do it."

Sa Keluo followed behind him: "Anyway, I have nothing else to do."

Eros was glad that he changed the subject, and he continued: "That's just right, I have a big budget to do, you can help me do it, the three districts are clamoring to build a dam, but that is too expensive, and still a bottomless pit..."

"Isn't that the chancellor's business?" Thacklow asked.

Eros had an incredible expression: "Will you hand over such a large sum of money to someone you don't trust at all?"

"But……"

Before Sa Keluo finished speaking, he was interrupted by Eros: "I plan to go to the third district in summer, no matter what, if I build a dam there, I have to go there to have a look, discuss with those engineers, and then Give it to the Ministry of Finance for approval." He said there to himself, and suddenly stopped his body, causing Thakro to almost bump into him.

"What's wrong?" Sacre asked.

"There's something...staring at us," he turned and looked out the corridor.

Outside the corridor is a small garden. At this moment, in the night, only the part illuminated by the light is visible, and the flowers are all restrained, but some small flowers by the street lamp beside the flower path are blooming in exquisite patterns. .

The garden looked very quiet, and the early summer wind blew over, bringing the fragrance of the plants and trees in the garden.

"His Majesty……?"

As soon as Thakro said something, Eros' hand touched his waist.

White fingers nimbly ran across his belt, pulled out the slender dagger inserted there, and threw it out.

When the dagger roared towards the garden, Thakro followed the direction of the dagger and quickly chased after it.Like a sharp starlight, the dagger was hidden in the darkness, but even in such darkness, Thakro found it accurately.

It was stuck in the trunk of a tree not far from the corridor, and a butterfly was stuck in it.

So, he handed the dagger and the butterfly to Eros, and looked at him in confusion.

Eros took the dagger and spread out the dead butterfly in his hand.

No matter how you look at it, it is an ordinary butterfly, and this season is the time for butterflies to fly, and there are too many such butterflies in the garden.But Thacklow frowned when Eros turned the butterfly over.

Where the butterfly's torso should be, there is a pointy ear!The entire butterfly's wings grow on this ear, so no matter how you look at it, this is not an ordinary butterfly.

"This is……"

Eros gently held the butterfly and handed it to Thakro.

"Someone is watching us," Eros said with a cold arc on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm going to investigate..."

Sa Keluo's words were interrupted again.

"It's so interesting, I haven't seen these little things for a long time," Eros said to Thakro, "This is the eavesdropper of the night, it seems that we have encountered a black magician."
