Law of the Dragon

"You are still as considerate as before," the deceased said sincerely, and excitedly walked to the table and sat down. The table was full of food, which gave him an urge to change his beliefs.After wandering for so long, he still likes the rich and exquisite delicacies in the noble life the most, these are not what the neutral god can bring to him.

Hughes started to pour black tea for him, and the delicate teacup painted with irises immediately released the unique aroma of black tea, which was especially suitable for the freshly baked cake and muffin.Walking here at night, I did not hesitate to get my robe wet, and my feet hurt a little—but, looking at these, everything is worth it, the deceased thought with emotion.

Hughes also felt very hungry. He was always hungry. The undead was such an empty existence, like a huge hole in his body, which made him feel hungry, but it couldn't be filled with food.

Why do people always think that the undead is terrible? Probably nothing in this world is more terrible than death, but death is not the end, but the beginning of another process.This road has no end, until it is filled with flesh and blood, until all hatred is eliminated, that is a darker end.

Hughes raised the teacup lightly, he could neither smell the fragrance nor feel the soothing water flowing through his throat - there is always a price to pay for returning to this world, isn't it?

"I thought you would leave the imperial capital," Hughes said suddenly, "just like before, wandering wherever you want, and changing your appearance or something."

"Why do you think so?" The deceased raised his head with a smile. His appearance was young, with an elegant and demure temperament. with arrogance.

How many people have been fooled by his appearance and smile?Hughes thought, anyway, he is not the first, nor will he be the last.He still remembered that when he was killed, his elder brother, the deceased, also looked like this.He stabbed a long blade into his heart, and his manner was graceful and casual, as demure as he casually raised a teacup.And even now, the sharp pain of being pierced through the heart can wake him up at night, make him sweat profusely, and the pain is unbearable.

"I thought..." Hughes said hesitantly, his hand subconsciously pressed the position of the heart, although there was nothing there, but the pain still exists after 300 years, "You don't want to see me again."

The deceased tilted his head slightly: "If I don't want to see you, I will kill you, just like before."

Always so cold and casual, as if anyone in his eyes is a stain that can be erased at will.Hughes' hands on his knees were tightly clenched into fists. This brother has the ability to mobilize other people's emotions with just a word.

"Did you kill me before because I was an eyesore?" Hughes asked with a cold face. This sentence may be very strange when spoken by ordinary people, but it seems natural when spoken by an undead, " You killed the entire castle, are they all your puppets now?"

The dead man looked at him with calm gray eyes.

"You're killing people every night until I'm the only one left in that castle," Hughes stood up angrily, and pressed his hands on the table. The cups and plates on the table collided with each other and made a crisp sound. Overturned, the brown tea wet the tablecloth, "The whole castle is sunk in great fear, and you are enjoying it! Death is pleasant, and you sacrifice the blood of your loved ones to your gods, which is not the same as believing in darkness. What difference does God make!"

"There's no difference, Hughes," said the dead man calmly, as if he were talking about an unrelated thing, "you see, you still haven't grown up, our father always taught us, don't let anger dominate your emotions, That will make you see nothing."

"I saw everything!" Hughes angrily reached out and swept off the cups and plates on the table, the apparent calm finally came to an end, "You killed so many people, Escher was the beginning, but your killing has no end ! Your strength comes from this, from the pain of the dead, do you really enjoy this feeling?!"

"I don't think what I did was wrong," said the deceased softly, like a patient brother teaching a younger brother, and he gently brushed the tea that had spilled on his robe, "Hughes, I know Whoever resurrected you, who brought you back from the kingdom of the dead, I will find him and kill him."

"For... me?" Hughes asked in a daze.

"Yes," the dead man stood there, covered by a gray robe, pale and young, but his face without emotions made him look more like an undead than Hughes, "you are my brother, I have nothing Knowing, kind and weak brother, if there are disasters and pains, it is only natural for me to bear them, because I am stronger and stronger."

Hughes looked at the slightly pale youthful appearance of the man. He seemed to be only in his early twenties. He could not be called a "child" at this age, but he was not yet strong enough to stand on his own.So, he asked with difficulty: "Can it be more painful than being killed by my most respected brother...?"

"Death is not a particularly bad thing," the other party said softly, and he didn't feel remorse for killing someone at all, but felt that he had done a right thing, "I have encountered many things that are worse than this. ’” he said, “I just didn’t expect that he would be so persistent.”

"It's easy to understand because I'm a businessman."

The person who made the voice was a thin man standing at the door. He looked about 40 or [-] years old, with strange curly hair and a pair of red eyes, which made him look extraordinarily weird and impressive: "Hi, Ann Young master of the family, we meet again."

"Oh, Roger," the deceased turned sideways, a cold smile appeared on his handsome face, and the silhouette of the undead loomed behind him, "My brother has been taken care of, and I have been looking forward to seeing you again with great joy." meet so that we can express our gratitude in person.”

"We're lost again!" Thakro sighed in despair.

"We are indeed lost," Eros looked around, but found that there was darkness all around, "but why use 'again'? Have we lost our way before?"

"I think we've been getting lost," Duke Thacklow said dejectedly. "Things haven't been going well since we entered the third district."

"What's not going well?" Eros, as the leader of the Duke, had no choice but to comfort him and said, "You see, although we were tricked into the third district, we still found Norman anyway. As long as we bring Norman back, we will You can charge a lot of money from the church."

Sa Keluo couldn't bear to discourage Eros's enthusiasm, but he still reminded him softly: "Unless we find the right way first, then we can leave."

"Hmm..." Eros pinched his chin, frowned, and began to look around, "What you said makes sense, we have to figure out where this is before we know where to go... ..."

"Sometimes, I have to admire your wisdom..." Duke Sacre flattered hypocritically. He turned his head and looked at the road behind him. It was a very dark road. He had never seen such a deep black in his life. , as if the darkness had solidified into a solid body, protruding tentacles of temptation not far away.

He suddenly remembered what Eros once said. He said that the real darkness is power, which is a kind of physical substance.The power of light is "diffusion", they will expel other powers and cover them in the form of light; while darkness is the opposite, its power is "swallowing". , transformed into a part of oneself, thus forming a greater force.So, the darkness here is very likely to be the dark power itself?

Like annihilation space?

"It looks a bit like an annihilation space here," where Eros probed and threw a magic light ball, and then it just went out, and it went out before it even traveled halfway-it didn't look like It went out, but was swallowed by something all at once.

"It really seems to be an annihilation space," Eros' voice hesitated, and he looked at Sa Keluo, "How did we come to this ghost place?"

"You have been here before, how did you leave?" Thakro asked.

"Mainly speaking, I have something to do with that demon god. He is my elder's lover, so..." Eros sorted out the complicated relationship between characters, and then said, "However, many demon gods in the annihilation space are not hospitable. People, staying on his territory casually, is not very friendly."

"Is it impossible to leave?" Thakro asked, the darkness here seems to be surrounding them, looking at how to eat them, after all, their essence is to "swallow".

"If there is a demon god who can help us leave," Eros walked over and stood beside Thakro. He suddenly realized that if it was really an annihilation space, it would be better for him not to stay too far away from Thakro. "Of course. , except you, after all, you, a half-bad, can't even beat the children of our clan."

Duke Sacre felt that it was necessary to refute the definition of Eros, but he thought about it seriously. The child of the dragon clan is also a little dragon, and the little dragon is as big as a mansion. He doesn't know any magic, except for cutting with a sword. Another way to attack...

"What are you thinking?" Eros asked, looking at Thakro with a serious face.

Sa Keluo said: "I'm trying to think of a countermeasure to fight with the dragon children."

"Don't think about this kind of stupid question, you can't beat it at all," Eros patted him on the shoulder sympathetically, "unless you awaken as a part of the demon god, but I don't think the current situation is too bad, because I found that , although this place looks a bit like an annihilation space, it’s actually not.”

"why?"

"Because we talked for a long time, no one came out," Eros was a little happy, "I think this is just an enchantment created by the demon god in the third district. Very good, we are already very close to him!"

If it weren't for the annihilation space, things would be much easier.Although Eros' dragon claws have the power to split space, except for this powerful ancient barbaric space.I'm afraid he can only run out by himself, and Sa Keluo...

It's great that it's not the Annihilation Dimension here, because he doesn't have to face a cruel and difficult choice. Although he always makes a favorable decision of "of course he left", but at this moment... he It seems that there is no way to make such a simple decision, just because the man with him is Sa Keluo.
