Law of the Dragon

Ah, I should be out after dinner...

Eros flapped his wings, allowing the cool evening wind to fill his wings, and passed through the clouds full of water droplets. He flapped his wings vigorously and jumped out. In an instant, there was only the sound of wind passing by. In the silent night sky, A crescent moon like a hook is quiet and beautiful, and the surrounding stars are like brilliant diamonds on black velvet, shining with extravagant light.

It's only a year, but it seems to have lived in the human world for a long time.

Eros took a deep breath of the clean, unpolluted night air at high altitude, as if he had forgotten all his troubles at once.It seems that it has been a long time since he flew recklessly in such a silent night. He squinted his eyes, feeling this long-lost feeling, which made him nostalgic and comfortable.

The more he flies, the more he feels that being a king is a boring thing. That seemingly golden position imprisoned him there, making him worry about trivial matters all day long, and he was always awake even when he fell asleep.Of course, when thinking of those golden wealth, this kind of unhappiness will always be thrown away, so Eros made up his mind that although he will be the king in the future, he can still fly like this at night when he is free, so that he can relax. Loosen the muscles and bones.

He thought it was a good idea, but he regretted not bringing Sa Keluo here. This is a very beautiful and beautiful scenery. For humans, it may be impossible to see it in a lifetime, so he wanted to share it with that man. beautiful view.In this quiet moonlight and bright stars, there is no sound of any creature here, only the breath and coldness of the wind passing by the ears.

Of course, he also regretted coming to fly without having dinner, because it was too exhausting.The road ahead is long, and he still has to fly for a night and a day—thinking of this, Eros felt that the surrounding scenery became boring.

×××

Sa Keluo was still looking at the weird butterfly in the dungeon, and now he finally knew that the butterfly's torso was not weird, but that it was indeed a human ear.

"I've been searching for the past two days," the dead man didn't intend to tell Sa Keluo the process of searching, but said in a pleasant tone, "I found that the owner of the ear must be in the imperial capital. As for who he worked for, I don't know."

"The owner of the ears is a black magician?"

The dead man shook his head: "The owner of the ear works for the black magician, or to use a simpler metaphor, that person is just a tool. During the war years, such people will reach a terrible number, and they are required to gather together Together, carry out their respective missions, screen information, and get some useful information for your own forces.” He smiled nervously, “That’s definitely a very annoying thing, because most of the barriers can’t prevent them from entering , and secrets...God knows how many secrets there will be left."

"Do you think there are other eavesdroppers?" Thacklow asked.

The dead man glanced at Sa Keluo: "It depends on who you provoke, please forgive me, I am a necromancer, this is not my area of ​​expertise."

"Okay, I want you to find its owner," Thakro could only do the next best thing, "I don't need to interfere in the next thing."

The dead man's voice was very soft, so gentle that his gender was almost blurred: "I am willing to help, I will find that place." He stretched out his hands from the big gray sleeves. They were very young hands, which seemed to be incapable of He is over 20 years old, but he has an old face of 50 to [-] years old.

The dead man whispered a eulogy that did not belong to this world. The dim candlelight in the dungeon shone on his old face, making him look eerie and weird. At this moment, a miracle happened.

The strange butterfly that was lying quietly in the box, but was stabbed to death by Eros suddenly raised its body and patted its wings gently.It still had a big wound on its body, but it didn't notice it at all. After flapping its wings again, it flew into the air.

It came alive!

Sa Keluo looked at the necromancer in surprise, and the latter smiled back: "Please let me lead you the way."

The butterfly circled the small dungeon room and then flew out.Candlelight reflected off the phosphorous powder on its body, making it appear ghostly light and pale.

The dead man followed it and went out, and Sa Keluo was stunned for a moment and followed it.

Naturally, no one stopped them along the way, even though the identity of the necromancer was suspicious, but when they saw the Duke following behind, they naturally chose to shut up.

Butterfly led them out of the gate of the mansion, then gracefully turned a corner, and flew into the darkness that was not illuminated by street lights.

The area division of the imperial capital is very strict. The area where Sakeluo is located is in the upper city. This is the residence of all the upper-middle-class nobles. The church is also established here. This area occupies almost half of the entire imperial capital.The remaining half is divided into lower city, outer city and slums.

The residents in the lower city are mainly lower-class nobles and wealthy people, and the rest are ordinary civilians with normal resident qualifications, mostly merchants and various workshop owners.The outer city and the slums are now almost connected together. They are the lowest-level residents of the imperial capital. The level of chaos there is almost the same as it was 300 years ago. All kinds of thieves, liars, killers, prostitutes, women, etc. were included there, and even the guards were unwilling to go there.

According to Sa Keluo's judgment, there are many people in the outer city, and it is definitely a good place to hide. The butterfly should take them there. After all, in places like the upper city and the lower city, identity checks are very strict, and suspicious elements are easily gangsters. not coming in.

But he was wrong, the butterfly did not fly over the moat in the upper city, but flew towards another lively place.

Tonight, the Klander family is holding a banquet, which is a birthday dinner for the youngest daughter of the Klander family. The upper-class nobles in the upper city have all received invitations. Of course, the Layton family is no exception. Delia I just regretted not being able to attend the dinner, but now I am here.

The butterfly flew into the open door of Crander's house, and the deceased hesitated for a moment before stopping at the door.

"What's wrong?" Sa Keluo had no choice but to stop.

The deceased looked at his clothes in embarrassment, and said tactfully, "I still won't go in, anyway..." He glanced at the butterfly that flew in, "It will show you the way."

Sa Keluo also felt that it was not good for a necromancer to follow him in, so he nodded: "You go back?"

As he spoke, he turned around and looked at the flying butterfly. The size of the butterfly was not small, but it flew into the crowd like this at night, but no one looked at it. Sa Keluo felt strange. The voice of the dead was in his ears. came from the side.

"The Eavesdropper of the Night ranks above the surveillance spells because ordinary humans can't see them, just like people can't imagine how their secrets can be known by a person thousands of miles away. It seems that the Duke Adults are not ordinary human beings."

Sa Keluo turned his head suddenly, but found that there was nothing around him.

The dead have probably returned.

His secret was known by another person.

Thakro sighed, feeling that the world is really difficult, but fortunately, the two people who knew his secret were not human beings—but, is this a blessing among misfortunes?Sa Keluo is not sure yet.

No matter what, let's follow the butterfly first, after all, he can't do anything to these two people at the moment.

Thinking of this, Sa Keluo followed the butterfly to Klander's mansion.Although he didn't bring an invitation letter, but based on his title and clothing, he didn't need any invitation letter.

However, things developed in an unexpected place for Sa Keluo.Is the owner of this butterfly a member of the Klander family, or one of the guests invited by the Klander family?If it is a guest, which family is it from?The people who can enter today's banquet at the Klander's house will certainly not be ordinary nobles.

What do they want to do, use black magic in Sildor, which has been strictly prohibited for 300 years, Thakro is not that rigid, unlike the church, he admits the existence of black magic, it doesn't even matter, as long as it doesn't threaten the interests of the country That's fine - but now that it's being used to spy on the king, the issue is raised to a national security issue.

All kinds of conjectures poured in, which made him very uneasy, and he didn't even bother to deal with the noble friends who passed by, until the butterfly turned into the backyard of the Klander's house.

In addition to the front hall, a banquet was also held in the backyard of their house. The guests here were mainly friends with the Klander family, and most of them were women.

The Klander family is also a noble family with a long history. They also hold the title of duke and manage a large area of ​​land in the fifth district. At the same time, they also serve as the chief minister of the security department in the palace. Hasson's guards belong to them manage.Of course, since the relationship between Hasen and the king improved, the king often gave orders directly through Hasen. Although this was against the rules, since it was the king's move, no matter which minister had to stand aside.

It is precisely because of the noble status of the Crander family that Thacklow feels a little depressed about Butterfly being here. Although he doesn't like the Crander family very much, he doesn't want to provoke them either.

In the history of the Klander family, there were also people who had good friends with the elves, so the backyard of the Klander family was much more refined than the backyards of ordinary noble mansions.

At this moment, the lake water reflects the erratic candle light on the lake, creating a romantic and beautiful atmosphere in the whole courtyard. The exquisite buildings are entwined with green vines, and there is an extended dining table on the grass next to it. Those exquisite meals are placed for guests to take.There were whispers of the latest fashions, cheerful faces, well-dressed faces, all in the mode and order of the best of society, and it was hard to break the merry atmosphere.

Now the butterfly fluttered like a pale flower with a gleam around it like phosphorous fire in a summer cemetery, and finally it settled on a woman's finger.

The woman was standing by the lake with Sa Keluo on her back. She was wearing a maid's clothes. When the butterfly landed on her finger, her body seemed to be crushed by something, and she fell apart. Finally It turned into dust and fell to the ground.

Sa Keluo knew that the necromancer's spell had disappeared, and the eavesdropper was truly dead at this time.

At the same time, the woman suddenly covered her ears and screamed piercingly, and her body fell into the lake uncontrollably!
