Law of the Dragon

Little Eero is the doorman of the castle, he is responsible for guarding the gate and receiving visitors, and his grandfather is the gardener here, responsible for the rose garden on the west side of the building.

For five days no one or carriage passed by, nor did anyone come to the castle.From the evening five days ago, after a thick night fog drifted over, this place seemed to be isolated from the outside world, like a lonely island.

The servants in charge of purchasing drove out in the fog in the early morning of the next day and never came back. Similarly, those who walked out of the gate never came back.But this strange and undissipated thick fog stopped at the gate of the castle, as if something transparent blocked it.

But since little Erlo is the doorman, he still has to do his own job. He hugs his little friend, a cute puppy, and sits at the gate of the castle, waiting for the guests or the owner to come in, although he knows No one will appear again until the fog clears.But if you don't do this, there seems to be nothing to do, because the atmosphere inside the castle is just like the thick fog outside, full of ghosts.Everyone was doing things in silence, and the reserves in the castle were being consumed day by day. No one knew how much was left, and they didn't seem to care about it.

The fog was strange, Grandpa told himself, and told him to stay away, but the castle was too boring, and there were no more carriages on the road, and he couldn't even go around to play.

Of course, little Arrow knew that these thick fogs were strange and dangerous. Sometimes he could hear the fog that touched the castle rolling under his feet like boiling water, making a "chichi" sound, and sometimes he could see the fog in the dense fog. Faces flashed past, pained or sad, or expressionless, none of them were happy.

He really wanted to go to the forest to play. As before, there were still a few families living near the castle. I don't know what happened to them now.

Just as he was lost in thought, the puppy in his arms suddenly jumped out of his arms and barked loudly towards the thick fog.Little Eero was stunned for a moment, and just as he was in a daze, the puppy rushed into the thick fog.

If he didn't even have the only companion he could pass the time with, little Arrow, on the spur of the moment, ran into the fog!

As if he passed through something, then he seemed to have entered another world, where all the places were made up of gray color blocks, and someone stood there quietly, the silence made people frightened.They seem to have lost the color of life, only numb and dazed.He was trembling all over, and he didn't see the shadow of the puppy at all, and there were many scary shadows around him...

Suddenly, someone grabbed his hand and pulled him back.

The warm and slightly humid air surrounded him again, little Eero panted loudly, and looked up at the man standing beside him: "Thank you..." He said in a panic, and he glanced back at the thick fog. It seems to be another world, where everything is lifeless, even the heartbeat...

With lingering fear in his heart, little Arrow pressed his chest, making sure that his heart was still beating, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's better not to go near that fog," said the other.

Little Arrow nodded quickly, watching the man leave.

This man came to the castle five days ago in the morning. It is said that he is the brother of Mr. Hughes, the guest of the West Pavilion.As for the guests in the West Pavilion, little Ai Luo always felt that they had an aura that was not easy to get close to, that kind of feeling that they were obviously very kind and modest, but they refused to be thousands of miles away.Because of the guarding of the castle, little Arrow has come into contact with many nobles, but even the nobles... don't have that sense of alienation, as if they are people from another world.

In another world, little Eero couldn't help turning his head to glance at the dense fog next to him, and couldn't help shivering. The other world was much more terrifying and sad than he imagined.

The deceased had finished his walk and was about to go back to his room for another sleep when he saw a person standing in the garden.

He smiled and walked up to greet him: "Good morning, Mr. Roger."

Roger didn't seem to expect that the dead would come out from behind him, so he was a little surprised, but he turned around quickly, staring at him with those rare red eyes on the mainland: "Green, what exactly do you want?"

"Oh, I'm going to starve you to death," the dead man smiled.

Roger stared at him grimly. "You know I'm never going to die. I don't eat."

The deceased pretended to be enlightened: "Really, that's such a pity..."

"Don't play this trick with me!" Roger grabbed the dead man by the collar, "You damn necromancer, hurry up and tidy up the space!"

The dead man pushed Roger's hand away without any trace: "Sorry, what are you talking about..."

"Don't think I don't know, you made the opening of the undead space at the gate of this castle!" Roger tried hard to control his emotions, wishing to kill the other party directly, but if he really did, then he would be very Maybe there will be no way to leave here again, "What the hell do you want to do!"

The dead man smiled: "If there is no way to starve you to death, maybe there are other ways to kill you. Until I figure it out, I'll let the castle stay here."

Roger just wanted to have a seizure, but after carefully chewing the words of the deceased, he was stunned. A bad premonition made him feel powerless: "You said... stay? Stay here?"

The dead man nodded, and said in a patient and gentle tone: "So, you know that your god can't interfere with the affairs here, dear Lord Roger."

Roger swallowed hard, feeling his throat was very dry.Although he no longer felt thirsty and hungry, he was just a black shadow, but the situation in front of him suddenly reminded him of the difficulties he had as a human being before.

"What the hell are you... doing stupid things..." Roger's voice trembled, "Sure enough...you're only going to cause trouble for others," then he sighed, "You don't even know, your Impulsiveness ruined my plans."

The deceased was stunned for a moment, he did not intend to sabotage Roger's plan, this was probably an unexpected gain, so he said happily, "I didn't mean to sabotage your plan, although I know you are always doing it Some scheming, but it really wasn't intentional this time...but I'm glad I did."

Roger looked at him coldly: "I thought at first that you connected the entrance of the castle to the dead place, but you moved the entire castle to the dead place... Have you thought about how it would end?"

"Not yet, do you have any good suggestions?" The deceased asked with a smile.

Roger glanced at him lightly, and his voice was a little hoarse: "I only hope that you will be more painful when you die."

The deceased shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and watched Roger's thin figure leave. He raised his head and saw his younger brother looking at him from the window, his gray shadow reflected in those gray eyes.

Eros and Norman finally arrived in District [-], and the journey took less time than they expected.

Compared with the imperial capital, the first district is much more bleak. This does not mean that there are more or fewer people, but a kind of solemn and quiet.Everyone is unsmiling, even the busiest streets are very quiet, these people seem to be beheaded if they say too much.Even in the upper part of the imperial capital, there are quarrels and wanton laughter, but here, no one speaks loudly, and no one talks loudly. Everything is going on silently under an invisible rule, orderly but let People feel a kind of depression.

"Even the meeting hall in the palace is noisier than here," Eros sighed, and then looked at Norman who was driving a carriage. "It's really boring that you live in this kind of city."

Prime Minister En Bo once described the meeting hall of the palace as a street food market, but the amount of conversation has increased several times, and the form and content have not changed, so one can imagine how noisy the daily meetings are.

"The development of the Church of Light has been deformed, so don't expect to be the same as the Church of the Elves." Norman said with a smile, but as soon as he entered the first area, his expression became serious.

Eros nodded in agreement. Although he doesn't like elves very much, he has had a lot of contact with them during this time: "Have you ever been to the church of elves?"

After hearing this, Norman showed a knowing smile: "Their church looks like a tea party."

Eros was startled, and suddenly asked: "Then... do you know Gabriel?"

Norman's smile instantly cooled down, and he replied lightly: "I don't know him, I just saw him from a distance."

"Really, isn't it you who Gabriel is looking for?" Eros said to himself, and then said to Norman, "When I left the Valley of Elves, Gabriel asked me to find someone named Carl's people... Wow! What are you doing!"

Eros's words had to be interrupted, because the two elf horses who were walking happily suddenly stood up as if they were attacked by wild beasts, their front hooves waving in mid-air, and the two elf horses sitting on the driver's seat The two teenagers supported each other in a panic.

"What's going on!" Eros hurriedly grabbed Norman's sleeve, and was almost thrown under the carriage.

"I don't know..." Norman supported Eros, let him sit on the seat, and went up to comfort them gently, "It seems to be shocked..." He said while carefully hiding the other hand Into the sleeves, there were traces of used power on it, which he did not wish to be seen by Eros.

The big move of the horse caused a lot of discussion among many people, but they only watched for a while, and then these people returned to their original silent state.

It's really boring here, Eros thought, whether it's the weather or the oppressive atmosphere, he felt a little hot, so he fanned the wind gently with his hands.He suddenly thought, if a whirlwind is called here to blow up these people's belongings into the sky, these people will panic and scream again and again, it will be much more interesting than the current atmosphere!Thinking of this, he was about to chant a spell, but Norman pressed his lips gently.

Norman looked at Eros kindly, like a child about to play a prank.
