Law of the Dragon

A total of six mercenaries appeared, and these six mercenaries were like a grand exhibition of races, including a black elf.

The leader of this adventure group was the black elf, and his purple eyes looked at the old necromancer.Like the elves, the black elves calculate their age based on their name days. He has already passed two name days, but unlike the elves, they need to practice various assassination skills at an early age. This is a must for the races of the dark camp. learned things.

The qualifications of a dark elf over 200 years old are not very old, but among humans, he has indeed lived for a long time. Although he has not participated in the Demon God War, the elders in his tribe will remember what happened at that time. tell them.

Which of course also includes the Necromancer.Necromancers belong to neither the light camp nor the dark camp. They believe in neutral gods, but in the dark camp, they are less likable than dark mages.In that great war, it was said that the one who benefited the most was actually the Necromancer who gained power from death.

The black elf has also heard of the saying that "necromancers always have more than four pairs of eyes", because the necromancer is powered by the captured undead, and those undead are forced to be imprisoned by his side, forever To be liberated, he became his eyes and ears.This is a sad legend. The worst thing is not death, but eternal hard labor. As long as this necromancer lives, those captured undead will never be liberated.Therefore, this is also the reason why the Church of Light insists that they belong to the dark camp. They believe that after death, the soul should be free. No matter what he did when he was alive, he should be peaceful after death. This is the most basic respect.

"We have no hatred against you, necromancer," Black Elf declared first, "but someone gave us money to kill you, you see, it's as simple as that."

The deceased nodded in agreement: "It's really simple." He said.

Although the tone of the two parties sounded very polite, the secret contest had already begun.

A terrifying scream sounded from the dense forest, followed by another scream, and then another scream from behind the mercenaries, and then the sound of heavy objects falling, and then the place fell silent again.

The female mercenary standing behind the black elf turned around quickly, drew out her sword and pointed at the empty air, and at the same time pressed her back against her companion.She looked towards where the sound was coming from closest to them, and there was a figure lying there under a tree.Of course she knew him, he was a companion in the regiment, and they drank together before, but now he was lying on the ground in a daze, seemingly dead.

She ran to the corpse in disbelief. It was a good thief, who always approached the target silently, and then killed the target or stole something, but now fell from the tree and died.

She called his name loudly, her tone betrayed her fear, the thief was strangled to death, his eyes were bulging out, the skin on his face showed a kind of deathly bluish white due to lack of oxygen, and there were several Fingerprints.However, who would strangle a thief silently?

Probably only the undead can do it.

The dead man said slowly there: "I reminded you that necromancers have four pairs of eyes, but as for me, I'm afraid there are more than this number."

Whispering voices came from the entire dense forest, as if a large group of people were whispering something softly around, it made goosebumps stand up, the place that was originally quiet like a cemetery suddenly seemed to be in the middle of the street same as above.However, these people stared at each other, but did not find anyone...

The deceased tilted his head in confusion, turned around and walked away. He didn't remember who he had offended. How could someone hire these mercenaries to trouble him?Could it be that there is something wrong with the medicines he made, but those medicines are really precious, he just made some hard money, so he shouldn't kill him!Wouldn't it be too wronged if he died for this reason?

But, other than that, he really couldn't think of any other reason...

He frowned, thinking hard, and there were screams of pain in his ears, and soon quieted down, and his slave would soon return to his shadow and become a part of him again...

"elder brother."

A soft creepy voice came from behind the dead man. The dead man froze for a moment, turned around, and saw a young man in a purple robe standing behind him.

"Hughes...?" The deceased turned around, his gray eyes widened instantly, and he looked at him in surprise. At this moment, his heart seemed to be alive again, beating uncontrollably.

The shadow of the whirling leaves in the forest fell on the handsome face of this young man, and the same gray eyes looked at him with a smile, but there was no warmth there. They stood there looking at each other, and the autumn wind blew the hem of the dead man's clothes. The hand was taken out of the sleeve, and there were no traces of age on the smooth skin. There was a gold ring on his finger, and the man opposite had the same ring.

"What, he actually set off!" Duke Thaklow patted the chancellor's desk in a disgruntled manner.

The chancellor looked at the black-haired nobleman sadly, and sighed in his heart, where did the elegant and calm duke go? Since the new king came to the throne, everyone has become impulsive, what is the majesty of the court!

"Yes, Your Majesty has already set off," replied the Chancellor, and carefully removed the crystal paperweight on the table. It was a gift from his once beloved elf lover. And to break it, "Leaving before dawn, I begged him to have breakfast before leaving, but he insisted on packing the food and finishing it on the way."

The advantage of Alzheimer's disease is that you can say what you want about it. Anyway, others will only think that the disease is terrible, and will not question your character.

The chancellor said with a shy face, "Your Majesty is determined not to bring the Knights, but to pack lightly. He only brought Larry and the elf escort, and set off for the third district on a fast horse. However, I have already notified the third district with the magic messenger. President, they will meet and take care of all your majesty's needs on the road."

"The general cabinet in the third district is already in danger," Sa Keluo said coldly.

General Yarrow came in with the Duke of Thacklow. When he saw Thacklow talking to an old man like this, he felt a little unmannered, so he compromised and said: "Since it is His Majesty's own decision, it is better for us to wait for the news here." alright."

Yarrow had quarreled with Sa Keluo every day about the false king, but now he finally compromised.One is that there is indeed an invisible force in the country that is affecting the royal family and has directly threatened the royal family. If the real king is now on the throne, accidents are likely to happen immediately, even if the king stayed in the five districts before. After giving birth to an heir, there will always be a day when they will be completely wiped out. They can't waste the resources of the royal family like this.Therefore, it is very necessary to use this false king to temporarily stabilize the political situation and give them time to find the enemy by the way.Secondly, after Yarrow understood the whole process, he had to think that what the king did was quite like that. Let alone getting the contract from the elves, it was enough for the kingdom of Shildor. It has benefited a lot, not to mention the various benefits that can be gained from re-friending the elves.

"Wait," Sacre was stunned, and suddenly looked at the Minister of Finance, "You mean, two bishops of the church came to ask His Majesty the King?"

The Minister of Finance nodded, then took the contract out of the drawer, handed it to Thakro, and said, "That's right, it's Bishop Marvin and Bishop Custer. It seems that the branch church in the imperial capital is now completely There is a quarrel with the Holy See in the first district, I think that even the Pope doesn’t know about Norman’s secret visit, otherwise he wouldn’t be so indifferent.”

Sa Keluo didn't even look at the contract, and threw it back into the arms of the Minister of Finance, but pulled Yarrow to go out.

"What's the matter?" Yarrow looked at Su Keluo in confusion, "What happened?"

"I have to go right away," Sa Keluo ordered his followers to prepare horses for himself, "I will leave the imperial capital to you for the time being."

"But..." Yarrow saw Sa Keluo walking out without looking back, and hurriedly followed, "What happened?"

Sa Keluo said coldly, "Your Majesty is in danger."

"what?"

Thakro glanced at Yarrow, and explained impatiently: "Didn't you say that it was Marvin who tipped you off that His Majesty's false king?"

Yarrow was stunned: "Yes, but..." Then he immediately understood, and looked at Sa Keluo with a complicated expression.That's right, since Marvin has already learned from Norman that the oracle said that the king of Hildor is now a false king, then even if Norman disappeared, how could he ask the false king for help, let alone He also signed some contracts with the false king that were fundamentally unfavorable to them.

"Marvin has a problem," Yarrow said.

"Annu," Thakro suddenly said.

Anu came over from the shade of the tree next to him, dressed in a gorgeous way, which made Yarrow sigh that the country across the Red Sea is really full of flowers.

"My lord?" Anu asked softly, "Do you have any orders?"

"Are you still monitoring the Klander family?" Thaklow asked, and at the same time took the reins of the horse handed over by the attendant, and walked forward in his hand.

"Yes, my lord," Anu replied.

"Now even the bishop of the church is watching," Thakro ordered coldly.

"Wait a minute, I'll go with you," Yarrow said hastily.

"No need." Sa Keluo stopped and looked at the red-haired woman. "You stay here, I think...we have been chasing for so long, and the other party will show his tail soon."

"But you alone..." Yarrow looked at him worriedly. The other party must know that His Majesty is leading the entire elf guard. Under such circumstances, if he still wants to ambush His Majesty, the killers he will send will not be bad——

"It's okay," Sa Keluo flew on the horse, "I can't let him have trouble." After speaking, he pulled the rein, clamped the horse's belly with his feet, and galloped away.

"It is forbidden to ride horses like this in the palace!" The Minister of Finance chased him out and grabbed General Yarrow, "Don't he know that the flowers and plants in the palace are very precious, and how much it will cost to buy..."

I haven't seen him for so many years, that handsome man who once drove countless girls in the imperial capital crazy, now he has turned into a nagging old man, relying on his old age to sell his old age, time is really not forgiving.So Yarrow patted the Chancellor on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, he's in a hurry to find the king."

The Chancellor of the Exchequer was stunned, and looked at the Duke Sacre who was galloping away in confusion: "But Your Majesty and the others are riding elf horses, which are twice as fast as fast horses..." Then he volunteered to say , "I'll go tell the Duke..."

But he was caught by Yarrow.

"No need," Yarrow said in a deep voice, "let him go."

In this country, both she and Thakro are necessary, but the king... is not.It didn't matter who was king, but both of them needed one.
