Law of the Dragon

"I hope you won't be so depressed. You are not the one who did the wrong thing," Eros looked at the vice-captain Hasen who was being escorted by his side sympathetically and said, "This is like... um, gems, so bright and beautiful, and It's not his fault," he said, his tone becoming yearning, "and it's not the people—no, it's not their fault that the creatures raged to fight for them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Hasen said with difficulty. Although he didn't understand what the gem had to do with this matter, he knew that the king was comforting him, so he had to express his thanks.

"No, it's nothing," Eros said modestly, then stared at the scenery outside the carriage, casually turning the red gemstone ring on his finger.

In the carriage, Hasen sat across from him, and Duke Thaklow sat beside him. They were on their way to the captain's house.The Duke brought his own team, and the guards didn't hear any news. Hasen's face was a little ugly. He was not as relaxed as the two people opposite him.

People were dying every day, and the king paid more attention to this matter than usual, but what he cared about was what role his uncle played in this matter.He can't be connected to these strange murders, his uncle is a meticulous knight, he will kill, but definitely not in this way-hasen has been to the scene several times, and the way of killing is really human Owned?Judging from the way the corpses were torn apart, they didn't even die when they were disemboweled... It's too cruel. A knight might bring death, but he definitely wouldn't bring the pain of trampling on life.And his uncle—a resolute and righteous uncle, as a knight, even for the honor of the family, he would not do such a thing.

Thinking of this, he relaxed a little, he was too nervous, which made him feel a little ashamed.

Duke Sacre found that when they got off the carriage, Hasson seemed to be a different person. He was no longer impatient and angry, and returned to his usual elegance and humility.He wondered disdainfully, when everything came to light, whether this young man could still maintain such a demeanor in front of the king, he shouldn't be confident, anything could happen in this world.

The king walked down without a plan. Anything can happen in the world. Anyway, Eros would not think that he would become the king of a human country one day, and he would be busy chasing the murderer, but he can be sure of one thing , that is the greed and pursuit of wealth, which he can never stop and change.

When he walked into the house of the captain of the guard, he was thinking about another question. Thakro would not do anything unsure. If the captain was involved in this matter, he might face the arrangement of being dismissed, and the king must appoint a guard Captain's choice.Hasen is not bad, but he is too young. Even from a human point of view, he is still a half-grown child, not to mention that he is just a knight in peacetime?

Of course, Duke Thaklow will propose a backup candidate immediately, but occasionally... Eros glanced at Thacklow, and the other side's handsome side face had a statue-like indifference in the sun, and then looked at Hasen, he thought , but occasionally, he also needs his confidant, even if he helps him when stealing treasure.

The servants were very surprised at the king's presence. They hurriedly prepared to greet him, and sent someone to inform the captain. They were almost in a hurry. To be honest, there are very few people in this serious knight's family who visit unexpectedly.

"The smell of blood..." Eros muttered to himself, there was indeed a subtle smell of blood in the air, he couldn't tell what it was like, anyway, dragons are very sensitive to the smell of blood, oh, the smell of gems Also, although most people think gemstones are odorless.

Those are small molecules scattered in the air, slight and careless, but they do exist, Eros is eager to catch their breath, and almost sticks out his forked tongue-don't worry, reptiles are like this.

But fortunately, the dragons are not like those ordinary reptiles, they have self-control.So Eros clenched his fist and coughed on his lips, suppressing this subconscious state: "I said... shall we go to the captain?"

Duke Sacre didn't object. The king is very sensitive to smell, so it doesn't look like a bad thing now.

Eros walked in while pretending to be sightseeing. Although he was a little rude, the servants did not dare to stop His Majesty the King because of the noble status of the other party. Hasen followed with a confused face.

The smell of blood was used by dragons to mark their territory a long time ago. Usually they will not invade each other. Only relatives or friends with good relations will fly over each other’s airspace. Of course, the territory of dragons will not be too large, because they are too Lazy, too lazy to manage such a large territory.Unlike human beings, their requirements for territory are not excessive, it is just a hunting ground, but they are much more nervous about treasure.

The captain's house is a relatively large mansion for ordinary noble families. After all, it was run by several generations of nobles, but Eros still easily found the entrance to the dungeon.It's very simple, the smell of blood is guiding him, this place is much easier to find than the territory.

There were servants waiting at the door of the dungeon, and the soldiers brought by Duke Sacre dragged them down silently. Just as Eros was about to enter the dungeon, Duke Sacre preempted him: "Please follow me, please?"

Eros nodded indifferently, and occasionally Thakro would show a strange desire to protect. It is understandable that human beings are the kind of creatures that understand things on the surface—he looked so young when he became a human, Eros has never been satisfied with this.

In peacetime, the dungeon has been abandoned, and it seems that people do not come to it very often. When the cold iron door is pushed open, the rusty iron door makes a "squeak" sound.The dungeon was not very big, and they saw the captain who was about to come out in a panic in the passage.

"Your Majesty the King!" The captain stood there in a panic, even forgetting court etiquette. In the humid environment, the light of the torch made him look pale.

"Good afternoon," Eros squeezed past the tall body of Duke Thakro, showing a bright smile, "Do you mind if we go in and have a look?"

After the captain heard the king's words, instead of getting out of the way, he used his body to block the passage tightly: "Please forgive me, this is not a good place to receive guests... It is better for us to go to the living room, and I will let the servant Prepare……"

Before he finished speaking, the black-haired Duke said impatiently, "Get out of the way."

"Yes, get out of the way," Eros followed suit.

According to the personality of the Duke, he should have simply pushed the captain away, but the king was crowded in front of him, and he was too embarrassed to stretch out his hand to push the captain away, so he could only threaten him with his eyes.

The captain had no choice, he couldn't disobey the king's order, so he had to step aside, although his eyes were full of begging, but no one looked at him except Hasen.

They soon arrived in the dungeon. The dungeon was not big, but it was damp and cold inside, and the smell of blood was layered there, but Eros could distinguish the smell of fresh blood.

The dungeon looked ordinary, nothing out of the ordinary, the candles were burning and gave off a unique smell.There was a table in the middle, and several cages on the other side. The iron bars on the cages were rusted, and the doors were wide open. There was no one there. They looked like they had been abandoned for a long time.

Eros was not at all interested in the seemingly ordinary furnishings here. He went straight to a wall of the dungeon, where some sundries were piled up, and he pushed them away. uncovered—

Now the smell of blood came out unhindered, even Hasen could smell it, and he turned his head to look at his uncle - the knight he had always admired, his face was pale, as if he was just a ghost.

On the rough and damp ground of the dungeon, there is a complex magic circle, its strokes are dark red, like blood that has dried up for a long time-maybe it is.Although the magic circle is not big, it is very complicated, showing a mysterious and evil atmosphere under the firelight.

Eros threw the black cloth aside, then squatted down to look at the magic circle.

He hasn't completely forgotten about magic, so he can distinguish some characters. He reads along the unique order of a magic circle, and finds that it is just an expansion circle.This magic circle is very remote, and no magician will use it, because it is basically useless, not to mention the expansion of black magic, after all, the black-robed mages only want to attack the Church of Light.

It was also the first time Eros saw it. He originally thought it would be a more evil magic circle, but he would not miss the thing in the middle of the magic circle. There was a spider as big as an adult's fist there.

The spider was feasting on a piece of human entrails when the black cloth was lifted, and hadn't expected to be disturbed at all—but, it was disturbed anyway, so it raised its body in a threatening gesture.

For a dragon, even an elephant or something can be easily stepped on, not to mention a spider, so Eros didn't feel threatened at all.

"Ha, what did I see?" Eros laughed. "A spider?"

Obviously it is not an ordinary spider, because it is standing on a black magic circle.

"Your Majesty..." The captain's voice trembled, "This thing is very dangerous, please..."

"I know what it is," Eros smiled, and reached out and grabbed the spider.

"Your Majesty!" Thakro came over and wanted to stop it. Holding this strange spider with bare hands is too dangerous, okay?

His slender and fair fingers looked a little pale when they crossed the magic circle, but the movement of grabbing the spider was exceptionally fast and powerful, and he reached out and took the spider out of the magic circle.

But when the spider came out of the magic circle, it turned into a pure gold ring.

This is an extremely old ring. It seems that it has gone through several years, and its gold color has become a little black. A huge piece of amber is inlaid on the gemstone setting, and in the transparent amber, there is a A big spider with teeth and claws.

This strange ring just stayed quietly in the king's hand, as if the scene just now was just an illusion.
