Law of the Dragon

So, the next day, the two of them left without saying goodbye.

Eros thoughtfully left a letter, explaining that he was going to a district to collect debts, and asked them to go back to their homes and find their mothers.

And Eros's worry was indeed justified, so Yarrow had to go back to the imperial capital by himself. Sa Keluo's whereabouts are unknown now, and she is the only one responsible for everything.Of course, the king should be responsible, but looking at Eros's appearance-Yaro felt that the other party could no longer count on him. After all, he was not the real king and had no such responsibility.

Camilla went back to the Valley of the Elves. Now that Eros had made his position so clear, he could no longer catch up and stalk him. It was almost as if he was pursuing him.What's more, during this period of time, these things are quite weird, and there seems to be a bigger whirlpool behind everything, which makes people confused. He should go back and listen to the meaning of the elf prince Gabriel.

After six days of trekking, Yarrow returned to the imperial capital.

There was no trouble in the imperial capital, which made Yarrow feel a little relieved. Although some things had happened, she still had time to make amends before it was fully exposed.

Like Sakeluo, she also has her own intelligence network, but she doesn't have anyone as outstanding as Anu under her command, so Yarrow decided to make the best use of it. First, she told Anu that the life and death of his Duke Sakeluo is uncertain.

"I'm sorry," Yarrow said, "In that case, I have no ability to confirm whether he is still alive." She roughly told the story of Thakro's disappearance.

There was a hint of disbelief in Anu's blue eyes like the ocean, and finally he asked softly, "Did your majesty say so?"

"Ah, but I don't think he can figure out where Thakro has gone," said Yarrow, shrugging his shoulders. "So I think Thaklo is not in danger for the time being. Eros said 'that's a tough road." Lu', in this case, it will probably take some time and energy, as for us, we will tidy up these messy things in the imperial capital, and wait for him to come back."

"Yes." Anu nodded with a smile.

"Is there anything worth noting recently?" Yarrow asked, "I know you're well-informed, and what's up with Marvin?"

"Since Bishop Marvin asked His Majesty the King for help, he immediately left for the Holy See," Anu answered Yarrow's question, "When he arrived at the Holy See, he asked to see the Pope. Parted unhappy."

"What did they talk about?" Yarrow pressed.

Anu gave Yarrow a blank look, meaning, since it was a secret conversation, why would he know about it?However, Anu thought for a while and said: "My informant was eavesdropping outside, but he couldn't hear their conversation, but there were a few sentences with a high voice, and he only heard a few words."

"What is it?"

An Nu was silent for a while and said, "Five districts, exile, etc., are all words."

"Fifth District? Exile?" Yarrow narrowed his eyes slightly.

"What did you think of?"

Ya Luo tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Although it happened several years ago, but... if you want to be exiled in the fifth district, the most likely thing is Her Royal Highness."

Before Annu worked for Sa Keluo, the princess had been exiled, and those who knew about it had kept silent about it, so he was not very clear about the princess. Now that Arrow said it, he Just asked: "If it is exile, why is it in the fifth district? Isn't the fifth district the most commercially developed area? It doesn't seem to be a good place for exile."

"The fifth district is a very large area," Yarrow replied naturally, "of course, it is indeed the most developed and richest district in our country, but there is also a barren desert there, and there are people in that desert. A tower, people call it the 'Tower of Nothingness'. According to legend, more than 300 years ago, at the end of the Great War of Demon Gods, the Aner family, who had made great achievements in battle—that is, served as the chief cabinet of the fifth district, together with the All of them were killed by his eldest son."

"It's terrible." An Nu asked in surprise, "But didn't he make great achievements in battle? Could it be that his eldest son is even more powerful?"

"Listen to me," Yarrow said unhappily, and she also heard it from hearsay, "I heard it from my elf tribe, and it may be different from the human version. Anyway, about the Aner family in the fifth district, There are so many versions that even the king's love history is ashamed-well, let me get to the point.

I heard that the Aner family was not found dead at first, but a child in the castle escaped, and he went home in a panic—I think, at that time, the young master of the Aner family had become the chief cabinet, um Well, it was so, the boy ran out and cried to his family that he would never go back to that dreadful place again. "

"What's so scary?" Anu asked curiously, moved a chair and sat opposite Yarrow, it seemed that General Yarrow was going to tell a long story.

Yarrow continued with a reproachful expression of refraining from interjection, "That kid is in charge of collecting roses every morning in the garden and putting them in every room. He cried to his parents that people died every day in the castle, The whole garden was filled with corpses. The uncle who bought food yesterday died, but this morning, he went shopping as usual.

Everyone in the family couldn't understand what the kid was saying, so the kid went on to say that there is a secret garden behind the castle, and there is Lord Zongge—that is, the young master, and no one is allowed to enter place.He said that he accidentally broke in that day and saw four or five dead bodies lying there. He was scared out of his wits because he knew those people.But the next day, he saw those few people there, greeting him and doing what they were supposed to do, but the child clearly saw their bodies the day before yesterday.

In this way, the child went to that garden every day, and found new corpses every day, but the next day, the dead corpse came back to life, as if nothing had happened.Of course, there is a difference between the dead and the living. They are very cold, and those who died earlier will rot and stink. They don't talk anymore, but they know what to do.At night, the whole castle is haunted by soulless people, but it is eerily quiet.

After the child's parents heard it, of course they would not believe it. They always thought Zongge was a very good person, so they sent the child back. Of course, you can imagine the ending, that is, the child also turned into a corpse one of the.Presumably in order to coax the child back, he made some kind of agreement with his parents, so how could a soulless corpse remember the agreement?People in the Fifth District began to feel suspicious. Everyone who went to the castle described more and more strange and deadly castles to people.

Paper cannot contain the fire, and finally everyone knew that the castle had become a living grave, and they attacked in groups, but that only made them a part of the army of death in the castle.So, the rest of the people went to the local church for help, but the two bishops of the church, including the paladins, also died there.People were in extreme panic. At this time, the army of the Church and the King of the United Nations moved to the fifth district.

Of course, there is nothing they can do. "

"Why?" Anu listened to this horrific plot, and found that Yarrow still has a talent for telling stories.

"Oh, if they can kill that guy," Yarrow raised his chin, "how can the elves show up, and then how can there be an elf version of the story?"

"So then the elves took care of the main cabinet?" Anu asked, "What is he?"

"Necromancer," Yarrow recalled the serious look of the elder who told her the story, "I heard that he is the notorious necromancer in history, Green Anel, um, that's the name. It was a fierce battle , the living were killed by the dead, and then joined the army of the dead, and the number increased, and the necromancer came over the dead, just like the king of the kingdom of the dead. That battle ended with the appearance of Gabriel Suffice it to say, it was too tragic, that land was full of resentment, and the undead could not rest in peace, so that it became a large desert in a very short time, and that tower of nothingness is the legendary castle."

"But how could the king exile his daughter to such a place?" Anu said in amazement, just thinking about that kind of resentful undead would become a girl's nightmare, let alone living in such a place .

"He was going to kill her," Yarrow said. She didn't hear about this incident, but she experienced it personally, so she knew it in detail. "But most people think she is innocent, so The death penalty is not in favor, and the princess is the only orthodox bloodline of the king. She cannot die for such an unwarranted crime. His Majesty the late emperor insisted on this matter for a long time. I guess he spent all his life on government affairs without this matter. Many, he was determined to execute his daughter, of course, in the end, he gave in and the princess went to the Tower of Nothingness. Although many people think that this is no different from the death penalty."

"Then did she intend to kill the king?" Anu asked curiously, "Have you seen her?"

"I've seen it," Yarrow recalled. "Of course I've seen her. She was a very... strong girl. Although she hated her father and wanted to kill him, she didn't really want to kill him yet." His situation. The queen committed suicide before the princess left, but that can't restore the king's determination."

"What a poor girl," An Nu nodded, expressing her sympathy.

Yarrow agreed: "The imperial court is another battlefield for killing. Compared to that time... I can only say that now Eros, a fool, is king, and it seems peaceful....Speaking of which, you haven't answered yet. Is there anything strange about me, the emperor?"

Anu thought for a while and said: "The strange thing seems to be nothing, but what I must say is that there was a strange fog in the west of the city. It has been about three days, and the fog has not cleared. Many people lost their way in the fog. Luckily no one is missing."

"Fog? West of the city?" Yarrow was startled.

An Nu nodded: "It's a strange fog, it doesn't disperse even when the sun comes out, and it doesn't disperse even when the wind blows it... Something's wrong, there are all the castles of dignitaries over there, but it's still the social season, and no one lives there. The Duke of Clander was a little anxious, and kept sending people to his castle, but they all got lost and came back." An Nu smiled, "Speaking of which, he is now the chief cabinet of the fifth district, and he stays in the castle all day long. Imperial capital."

"It's about the social season. He has a few daughters who are getting married," Yarrow smiled, then stood up and said, "It looks like it's time for me to visit."
