Law of the Dragon

After a night and a day of continuous flight, Eros finally arrived at the third district at night. During this period, he only rested for a while on a towering mountain peak, and the whole trip was very hasty.

Fortunately, the dragon is the kind of reptile that will not starve to death even if it does not eat for 100 years, but at this moment, his physical strength is exhausted.

The disaster situation in the third district is much more serious than he imagined.

There are floods everywhere, with all kinds of garbage, dead animals, and even swollen human bodies floating on them. Under the moonlight, these corpses have a disgusting milky white color, which forms a sharp contrast with the black river water.

Eros jumped between various floating objects, trying to see the situation of this section of the river clearly, but after a while, he realized that it was useless, because the flooded area was too large, unless he changed back into a dragon, in the Looking down from the sky, otherwise the situation of the whole region is really hard to say.

It's just that it's too late now, and there are too many shelters. Although the dragon has good night vision, if it flies at low altitude, the chance of being discovered by humans will increase. Eros doesn't want to make such a dangerous move unless it is absolutely necessary.

He crossed a section of tree trunk floating on the river again, and the roar of the water flowed not far away. Eros hesitated for a moment, and went there after asking the sound of the water.

The current ahead became more turbulent, and more flotsam poured down from the upper stream, and it looked like the river had just filled the area.He crossed the swift water lightly and stopped on the bank.

In the moonlight, the river gave off a dangerous and rancid smell.

The river bank is covered with wet soil. It should be the season of lush vegetation, but here there are only wet soil and sparse weeds. Tall trees can be seen from a little farther away, but according to the current speed of the water flow, it will soon be too will be overwhelmed.A little closer, he could see the spiers of some houses. It seemed that this place used to be a village, and he could even see the logo of the Church of Light.

Eros walked forward along the river bank, his figure was light, here, he didn't have to do any human-like movements.Even though he was walking on the muddy ground, the wet soil and water did not stain his shoes. He was as light and graceful as a firefly on a summer night, and his blond hair became brighter under the pale moonlight.

Compared with his light walk, Eros's heart became very heavy.He just saw the body of a little human girl being washed away. The girl looked about the same age as Larry, and her long chestnut hair was still shiny. She was holding a doll tightly in her hand, and was washed away by the river. far away.

Even after several months, the disaster here still shows no signs of abating.Enbo said that the river in the third district would flood every three years, but this year it was more serious. The disaster was several times that of the past. Many highlands were submerged. People drowned because of the river, and more people became refugees or even starved to death.

It is also because of this that the third district is the most economically backward area among other districts, which is equivalent to a slum area.Many nobles don't care. After all, most of the people in the three districts are untouchables, and their life and death have nothing to do with them. The royal family has always adopted such actions as palliatives and not root causes for the disaster here, so that the three districts have always been full. Afflicted by floods.

Eros was stunned for a moment, then again, why did the finance minister chase him every day to build the dam once he became king?He thought of the chancellor of finance who looked honest and honest, but in fact he was insidious and cunning, relying on his elders to sell his elders, he dared to bully him to talk or something!snort!

Of course, thinking about it, maybe it was because of the severe disaster this year that the cabinet made such a suggestion?

It's just that, no matter what, such a disaster is too harsh for human beings.

Unlike those pretentious nobles, Eros is not human, and because he is not human, for him, no matter whether he is a noble or a commoner, they are the same.Nobles are no different from commoners. They have lived with humans like this for a year. Those humans walked by him, laughed, and made noise every day. Now, it is quiet here, only the moonlight, river water, and corpses, with strong The silent breath of death.

Eros jumped up and jumped into the rushing river. There was a towering spire in front of him. He jumped lightly and landed on the spire.The river has flooded most of the area. This tower should have been very tall, but now it is mostly submerged by the river, leaving the upper half of the building.

This tower should have been quite tall, so Eros could see most of the area clearly from above.The surrounding area was pitch-black, the place that the moonlight of the new moon could illuminate was very limited, the air was filled with moist water vapor, and the black river almost blended with the darkness.

The flooded river is the Crota, a well-known river that runs through almost the whole of the three districts, and has many tributaries that flow to the rest of the districts.Speaking of which, the earliest imperial capital of Sildur was built on the Crota River Plain. Before Sildur, it was also a gathering place for human beings. After all, rivers are the place where human beings depend for their livelihood.

Thinking of this, Eros looked back and forth in some embarrassment.He is a dragon, let him go to war, let him distinguish gems or something more difficult, let him use black magic, but let him control the water, this kind of difficult technical work is impossible.Last time I discussed with Thakro, at best he would change back to his original form and help with some rough work. Although he thought this would save money, Thaklow immediately rejected it.

At this time, another floating corpse floated down the river from the upper stream, and the rushing water caused the corpse to sink for a while, and then float up again for a while.Eros took a closer look, and found that the floating corpse was not because of the river water, on the contrary, it was because of the things in the river water.

A few black-feathered fish were eating the corpse in the river, and for them, the flooding of the Crota River was not a bad thing.The attribute of the black feather fish is a creature of the dark system. When I saw this kind of thing, it seemed to be 300 years ago. At that time, there were corpses everywhere because of the demon war. These things have been active for a long time.But with the fall of the Demon God Era, they also gradually disappeared in history, and Eros almost thought they were extinct—like most other dark creatures.

However, they seem to have survived tenaciously.In this world, the power of darkness is unprecedentedly weak, and its weakness affects many creatures with dark attributes, including Eros himself.

However, there seems to be something different here, the dark magnetic field here is stronger, as if... there is an undiscovered dark force somewhere here.Eros couldn't tell what it was, because this kind of power was very ethereal, and he only had such a momentary feeling.

Here, he could feel a kind of familiar blood and darkness. He originally thought it was the result of the flooding of the river, but now it seems that it is not completely like this.Creatures like the black feather fish that depend on darkness and death for a living are much more sensitive to the power of darkness. Now that they have appeared, there is indeed a difference here.

Another gust of night wind blew over, bringing with it the breath of death and damp water vapor from farther away, Eros narrowed his eyes slightly, and in the indissoluble darkness, it seemed that there was a dark force that he could not distinguish .He is strong enough, so he doesn't care about this dark magnetic field.

What if it were assumed that the extraordinary flooding of the Crota River was not due to accident, but because of this invisible dark force?Then, the situation is not as simple as building a dam.

Of course, Eros said that there is nothing he can do at the moment.Because he is the king, he has to fly back to preside over the overall situation immediately, so he is really busy!Therefore, he decided to go back and discuss with Sa Keluo. This matter must be brought forward by the people of the Church of Light. Originally, the people donated so many things to those god sticks, just to exert the power of the God of Light at the critical moment. .

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a good idea!Because, if the Guangming Church can't handle it, then he has a reason to condemn and confiscate the church's property!Although it may not be possible at once, it is still possible to confiscate part of the property!

It's just too smart, isn't it!

Thinking of this, Eros couldn't help laughing, as if the money had already been obtained.

So, in the middle of the night, the dragon laughed like a neurotic on the top of the tower for a while, feeling much better, and even couldn't wait to fly back, without any fatigue from the journey!

Suddenly, he stopped, turned around and found a person on the bank of the river watching him.

It was a young woman, she was dressed in a very simple and neat attire, she looked like some traveling traveler.She has fiery red hair, and red pomegranate eyes, which are rare in human beings, and she is looking at herself as if she is insane.

Judging by the human appearance, she was about 24 or [-] years old. This woman sat alone on a pure white horse in the middle of the night, staring at herself coldly on the bank of the river filled with death and darkness.

Eros is not very good at distinguishing various races. After all, dragons are such creatures with eyes above the top, but the pure white horses seem to be unique to the elves.Is this woman an elf?Then he denied this idea. When Night Breeze picked up the other party's long fiery red hair, Eros didn't see the elves' unique pointed ears. They were ordinary human ears and had nothing to do with elves at all.

Across the death-filled river, the two confronted each other for a while, as if they were guessing each other's identity.

Eros snorted crisply, turned around and jumped off the tower, using the floating objects in the river to leave the woman behind.No matter who that woman is, it has nothing to do with him. His goal has been achieved, and now is the time to return.

The situation here is a bit complicated. As a dragon, he seems to have no way to solve the problem, so he has to find the senior "non-human" Duke Sacre who is temporarily a human.As for the darkness that is surging here, leave it to the church to worry about!
