Law of the Dragon

"Hey, it's raining." Larry looked up in confusion.

There was a light rain in the sky, I don't know when it started, and no one left the official road, maybe they all went to shelter from the rain.Camilla and the others have no news at all, and it seems that they are not easy to deal with over there, and this place seems to be a corner abandoned by the world.

"Your Majesty, it's strange," Larry said, looking back at Eros, "the rain didn't come in."

The rain fell outside, and the raindrops in the sky touched their round barriers, making a "squeaky" sound, as if concentrated acid had been poured down.

"Is this Camilla's enchantment?" Larry looked up to the sky, they seemed to be inside a transparent egg, and the rain was sliding down the transparent eggshell, but a lot of rain was falling halfway When the egg shell is hot, it is evaporated, as if the temperature of the eggshell is astonishingly high.

Larry was startled. It was the first time he saw enchantment magic, so he curiously wanted to stretch out his hand, wanting to feel whether the rain was cold or hot.

But as soon as he raised his hand, Eros grabbed his wrist: "Don't stretch out your hand, it will be eaten."

"Eat it?" Larry's eyes widened.

"Stay here," Eros said sullenly, "and wait for Camilla to come back." If he can come back sooner, or if he can come back.

The raindrops are getting bigger and bigger, and the sound of "呲呲" is getting louder and louder. This sound makes people feel ominous and dangerous.

"What the hell is this, Your Majesty?" Larry asked.

Eros leaned on the tree trunk and looked up at the sky. The transparent eggshells were getting thinner and thinner, and would soon be eroded away. By then, they would all be delicacies inside the eggshells for people to enjoy.This is probably the reason why no one walked on the official road, and no one would risk being corroded by acid rain.

"It's the way certain creatures eat," Eros explained casually.

"Eating..." Larry looked around, but he saw nothing but the rain, only the top of his head and the walls made a "squeaky" sound, "but where is it? What can eat like this?" something?"

Eros shrugged his shoulders: "I guess, it's probably under our feet. It's a greedy guy. I really don't want to believe it. Some people hate me so much that they find this kind of thing to eat us. They don't even want a bone. Stay with us."

"Is this... the Demon Race?" Larry asked. At his age, he doesn't know much about dark creatures. After all, the human world has been at peace for three hundred years, and he is a refugee, so that's even worse. He may have systematically known the classification of dark creatures, so when he asked the question, he only chose a word that he heard most often.

Eros looked at him seriously, and felt that it was necessary to popularize the knowledge of the dark camp with him.Of course, in essence, Larry belongs to the light camp, but after all, he is now serving as a follower of an evil dark creature. If he can't distinguish the race, it will cause headaches for the black dragon who is the master.

"No, no, no, of course it's not a demon," Eros explained to him patiently, since there's nothing to do now anyway, "Let me give you some science. Strictly speaking, this kind of thing is called A summoned beast is summoned by a summoner from another world, restrained, and enslaved to make it do things for him."

"Summoner!" Larry had heard of this profession on the black market before, and knew that this profession was very valuable. "You mean there are summoners who want to kill us?" He raised his voice, "But you are the king! Who Will kill the king!"

"A lot of people..." Eros could list several of them casually, and the number one among them was the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and then motioned Larry to lower his voice, "Can you listen to me?

Larry immediately showed an aggrieved expression, crossed two fingers on his mouth, and obediently listened to Eros.

Since Camilla brought his elf guards to the palace, Larry has followed them every day, and his temperament has become much more lively. To a certain extent, although Eros has not yet decided what Larry should learn from Camilla , but the feeling between Larry and Camilla is already similar to a teacher-student relationship.

"This thing, we used to call it a devouring beast, and they are usually used to clean up the battlefield," Eros recalled, while explaining to Larry, "During the war between the demon gods, after a battle, the enemy The corpses of Fang and our soldiers will fill the entire valley, and then some summoners will summon devouring beasts, which can eat them non-stop. The advantage of this kind of thing is that they can prevent the rescue of the church. After the war, many soldiers were only slightly injured, but the scene was too chaotic to be rescued. The Church of Light is specialized in this. They use white magic to heal the wounds of the soldiers, and then bless them, waiting for the next battle war.

"But this is too bad for us, so the devouring beast exists for this purpose, and its purpose of life is to eat non-stop," Eros sighed sincerely, "it is too good to eat."

"But...wouldn't the whole Hildor be eaten?" Larry felt that something was wrong with this conversation, on the issue of "our side" and "enemy", but now he is more concerned about eating Drop their stuff, so ask the question directly, "Will it not be stuffed to death if it keeps eating?"

"Oh, you won't die if you have the control of the summoner," Eros replied, "but I have seen some guys who lost control, and they really ate too much!"

"and then?"

"They eat themselves," Eros answered.

This answer was so cold that Larry couldn't react immediately, "Eat yourself?"

"Yeah," Eros replied melancholy, "they are such intemperate guys, so you can probably understand what we have encountered, right? Of course, the level of this devouring beast is not those guys who clean the battlefield , I think, it has a bit of IQ, and knows how to melt the barrier first."

Larry finally understood what they were facing now, and looked at Eros with a pale face.

Eros patted the dust off his body and stood up, put the elf's cloak on his body, and looked up: "It's almost there."

"What...?" Larry raised his head. A gap had been cracked in the transparent eggshell above their heads. Acid rain had already flowed in through the gap, dripping onto the wool blanket, corroding a large hole.

Larry suddenly had a frightening thought: "How...how does it eat?"

"It has no mouth," Eros said softly, though he was not the one in charge of cleaning the battlefield, "it sucks liquid, it only sucks the liquid of meat, if we were a tree or a blade of grass, we would not be afraid of it "It's like the trees and grass outside the barrier that are suffering from acid rain. They are fine, but the bugs and small animals attached to them may have already turned into liquid and flowed into the mouth of the devouring beast. inside.

The eggshell finally shattered, and Camilla did not come back. Looking around, it was a vast expanse of whiteness, and the raindrops were so dense that there was almost no end in sight.Since that guy can make an acid rain, the area must not be small, and this high-level devouring beast must not be small.

"Your Majesty?" Before Larry could react, Eros pulled him into his arms. A drop of rain fell on his bare arm, and a sharp pain caused Larry's head to burst out. A cold sweat broke out, but he bit his lip and made no sound, His Majesty hates noise.

He took a deep breath, looked down at his arm, there was already a hole corroded on his arm, yes, a hole, the color of blood there was deep and shallow, and the white bones could almost be seen.

"Your Majesty!" Larry found that His Majesty the King was wrapping him in his arms, and the elf cloak was flying around him, but the cloak was not used for enchantment, it was only used to hide the breath, While somewhat resistant to acid rain, it doesn't take long before they are exposed to rain.

Now, Eros is exposed to acid rain from the neck up.

However, the strange thing is that, different from myself, the raindrops fell on his blond hair, gathered at the ends, and finally fell due to being unable to bear the weight. During the whole process, the raindrops seemed to be normal raindrops, as if falling on the The rain on my arm is not the same kind!

Larry wanted to struggle to stand up, no matter what, he couldn't let His Majesty the King shield himself from this acid rain.

"Don't move, I don't have the strength to hold you anymore," Eros said weakly. The acid rain fell on him and it didn't affect him at all. He felt it was swallowing, swallowing the essence of power that Larry couldn't see.Although he has already been sealed, this kind of seal has many loopholes and deficiencies because Sa Keluo is a novice. These weaknesses are enough for him to unlock the seal by himself, so he can complete it in just a few months. Attack on the seal.And now, the Devouring Beast is devouring his almost gathered strength.

The insult caused to him by such a low-level monster made Eros burn like fire, and the powerlessness and frustration made him feel even more painful and ashamed.He used to look down on all beings arrogantly, but now he is so humble that he is being tortured by a devouring beast, which makes his life worse than death.

He suddenly remembered those words that an elder once said, but at that time, he thought that those words would only be said in the case of Alzheimer's disease.

He said: "One day you will taste the shame, that kind of dilemma will take away your dignity, your arrogance will be useless, but you will know that this is also part of a long life, and you will feel that life is better than death, but But I don’t want to really die.”

At that time, Eros thought, there will be no such day. If there is such a day, I would rather die than live and suffer disgrace.

But now, when it really came to such a day, he didn't want to die at all.

For some reason, he suddenly wanted to see Thakro very much—that black-haired man kissed him forcibly, and he should beat him up to vent his anger no matter what.
