Law of the Dragon

"The dam must be built." Hasen looked worriedly at the young man sitting under the window, "I'm afraid the completion period will be delayed if we continue to delay..."

"Be careful I let you drag you down!" Eros glared at Hasen viciously. The upright guard captain didn't go on patrol today, but ran to the palace to find him, "Shut up, you want everyone else to Do you know I'm here?"

"Even if you avoided the financial meeting, why didn't you attend today's important political meeting?" Hasen hesitated for a while and asked, "Because of today's announcement, the ministers have asked for an audience..."

Eros shook his hand: "Leave it to Embo and Sa Keluo, anyway, they discussed it last night."

Just as Hasen was about to speak, a thin and small boy walked over from the corner of the wall. He had black hair, bright eyes, and neat clothes. It almost made people forget that he was once a refugee, but he was still as thin as a malnourished puppy. chicken.

"Huh, my lord?" Larry walked over with a coat in his hand and bowed to Hasen, "Good afternoon."

good afternoon?Is it already noon?Hasen couldn't help looking up at the sun—as expected, he had been looking for His Majesty in the palace all morning without knowing it...

"Ah, it's time to go to lunch." The voice of the blond boy drew his attention back, and Hasen turned his head to see that the blond boy casually tied his blond hair into a ponytail and took off the scarlet symbol of the royal family. He changed into a navy blue long coat made of Scarlet cloth, "Put this coat in my room, and we will meet at the palace wall of the fountain."

"Okay, Your Majesty." Larry ran away holding the scarlet coat obediently.

"Beware of the jewels on my clothes!" Eros told his attendants in a low voice behind.

Larry turned his head and bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, don't you..." Hasen felt that the responsibility of his escort had become heavy again, "Do you want to run out of the palace?"

"This group of people probably won't be leaving today, but I want to have a meal..." Eros said while tidying up his cuffs, then suddenly raised his head and pointed behind Hasen, "Wow, beauty!"

"What?" Hasen didn't know, so he looked behind him, but there was no one behind him, and Hasen, who came back to his senses, turned around angrily—there was no figure of the king, only the scattered flowers and branches by the wall were shaking slightly, "His Majesty!"

Eros watched Hasen run to the other side from the sycamore tree on the other side, and then jumped down lightly when he was gone. The distance from the tall branch to the ground was as easy as walking down a step. brisk.

He continued to straighten his cuffs while walking towards the palace wall.The midday sun fell on his young face, his golden eyes narrowed lazily, and as soon as he reached the palace wall, someone stopped him.

"Eros?"

Eros turned his head and was stunned for a moment before he remembered: "Hey, Norman?"

Norman was wearing a clean white church gown, with only the church logo embroidered with gold thread on the neckline and cuffs, looking neat and polite.

"Good afternoon." Norman nodded to him.

"Good afternoon," Eros smiled, beckoned to Norman, and let him come over, who made him stand so obvious, "It's lunch time, are you here to eat in the palace? "

It seemed that it was the first time someone said that he was rubbish, Norman smiled: "Almost, how about you?"

Eros pulled Norman up the stone steps of the palace wall: "Me? I'm waiting for my entourage."

Norman's hand was held by Eros, and he looked at the spider ring on the other's finger and smiled: "This is the first time I've heard that the master is waiting for his followers."

"Haha, we have an appointment for dinner." Eros stood on the palace wall.

In the history of Hildor, there were seven times in the history of the city being besieged. The enemy's army fought all the way to the outside of the palace, but failed to enter the palace. This has a lot to do with the firmness and height of the palace city.It is what all kings should do to build their home as solid as gold, but it doesn't matter to Eros. After all, to him, as long as he is strong, it doesn't matter whether the lair is strong or not.

On the tall palace wall, you can see the clean streets and pedestrians in the upper city, and the noise of the lower city and the slums beyond, you can have a panoramic view of the entire imperial city.

Eros took a deep breath of air: "This kind of weather is really not suitable for discussing any national affairs."

Norman also looked at it. The imperial capital is prosperous and noisy. Compared with the first district, it is much more lively: "The great nobles must have come here after seeing today's notice."

"But..." Eros turned his head and looked at Norman with interest, "Is this notice harmful to the interests of the church?"

"Basically," Norman said lightly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. "The church accounted for [-]% of the military supplies shipped to the border."

The church owns quite a lot of land, and apart from using some of it for daily food, it will also sell it for military supplies. It is conceivable that once this notice is issued, the interests of the church will also be damaged.

"Hey, are you here to protest on behalf of the church?" Airos looked at Norman in confusion. He always thought that Norman should be a trainee like a priest. After all, he was too young, and most of the church's power He is as old as the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Norman pursed his lips, and replied with some helplessness: "I came with the cardinal, but well, the palace is too big, so I got separated." In fact, it should be the cardinal who followed him to the palace.

"That's it..." Eros nodded, "Is it okay to get separated? Where are you going?"

Norman tilted his head and smiled, "I'll just ask someone later."

Just as Eros was about to say something, he saw Larry running over in a hurry: "Ah, my entourage is here!" He waved to Larry who was running here.

"He looks..." Norman frowned and looked at the child who looked like a skeleton. It should be said that the nobles are all exploiting classes, but this is too pitiful. "A little thin." He said tactfully.

Eros nodded in agreement: "Ah, he is really too thin, now I require him to eat three bowls of rice every day!"

"Now?"

"He used to be a refugee," Ellister paused, "anyway, they don't approve of me taking a refugee as a follower."

Norman was stunned, and said lightly: "Yes, the refugees are very pitiful..." Living without a fixed place, he was spurned by everyone, even the lowest serfs and slaves. Before entering the church, he and his This is the life my mother lived.

"But I didn't take him in because he was pitiful," Eros' voice interrupted his memory, his golden eyes were extraordinarily bright and clear under the sun, and he said of course, "I don't know the dogma of the God of Light. , but, I know that 'poor' is useless, it's not a code of conduct, it...can't change the real world."

Seeing that Norman didn't answer, Eros patted the other person's shoulder: "I'm going to eat first. If it's delicious, I'll treat you to it next time! Goodbye." Then he turned and shouted at Larry: "Shut up! Mouth, wait for me to come down!" Said and ran down the palace wall.

Norman watched the brisk figure quickly reach the fountain, waved and smiled at the thin boy, and then the two sneaked out of the palace gate.

He turned around and found that the wind on the palace wall was very strong, and the hem of his clothes was blown away.

"Poor" is not a code of conduct, yes, the church did not pull itself out of the stinking ditch because it was "poor".Maybe some people get help because they are "poor", but the real world will never change because of these occasional "poor".

That child...Norman thought of Eros' bright and clear eyes and the occasional arrogance and innocence. He always blended these two contradictory temperaments very well. I really don't know what kind of noble family cultivated such a child. child.

"Lord Norman?" The priest behind him asked softly respectfully, "My lord bishop sent me to show you the way, about the announcement today..."

Norman turned around and walked down the stone steps of the palace wall: "If you have this skill, it's better to send someone to the west."

"what?"

"Isn't that large piece of land still unowned?" Norman walked towards the opposite of the palace.

"But, but..." The priest followed Norman and stopped at the gate of the palace. He didn't know whether to go back to the bishop first or follow Norman.

After Norman walked out of the palace, he looked up at the sky, and the clear sky was as clear as blue.

"Such fine weather...is really not suitable for discussing national affairs."

Eros and Larry went downtown.

The lower city is where the lower class and the middle class live. Compared with the mess in the slums, it is obviously much cleaner and tidy.This place is well planned, merchants, entertainment industry, etc. are all gathered in the designated area. Of course, since it is the lower city, there are also good places for thieves, prostitutes, and pickpockets to make money.

The lower city does not restrict the entry and exit of nobles, so even if Eros is dressed in expensive fabrics, it is not surprising that he wears bright and delicate gemstones.

They sat down in a restaurant where no one gave them a second look, enthused about their food and their gossip.

"Why are we eating here?" Larry couldn't help asking Eros. He was worried that he couldn't protect Eros with his small body. If there was any dangerous person, how could he take responsibility? Lord Hasson shook off, and with the captain of the guard by his side, there was nothing to be afraid of here.

Of course Eros didn't know what he was thinking: "I heard from a maid that the beef pie is delicious here, and the apple pie is also good." He quickly asked the restaurant staff for these two things, "A little bit more, We are good eaters!"

The waiter at the restaurant sneered, took the silver coin he gave, and nodded. Anyway, he couldn't see how these two thin children could eat it.

Eros squished his mouth, feeling very upset that he was underestimated, and decided to add another portion after eating!He turned around and looked around, drinking cold water while listening to these people gossip.

Larry had been to such a place with his father before, but he was not as adaptable as Eros, and he looked at him in surprise.He is obviously a king, arrogant and irritable, but at this moment, he is waiting for dinner and listening to gossip like an ordinary person.

"You're almost seeing two holes in me," said the king, who was sitting opposite Larry, dissatisfied.

"Sorry, Your Majesty... Your Excellency!" Larry quickly apologized, "But why did we come out of the palace?"

"Walk around casually, in the palace is an endless war of words, and..." Eros propped his chin, his blond hair was a little messy because of the crowd just now, a few strands were scattered on his shoulders, with a messy look Delicate, "And well, I kind of want to go out, so I want to see what ordinary people look like."

Go out?
