Chapter Twenty-Three: Darkness

The lowly, the depraved, the shady.

They have been lurking on this continent for thousands of years.

They probably shouldn't have been on this continent in the first place.

They are not recognized by all species, they are evil, insidious, cold-blooded, cruel, and insane.

They are like aliens on this continent, silent, silent, lurking in dark corners.

At the same time they were ambitious, they wanted to rule Zreta.

Why this species is in Zretra, perhaps no one but themselves knows.

Perhaps they have asked why darkness is darkness.

Black and white?

Is justice really justice?

But no one would listen to them.

Because they are incomparably cunning, incomparably insidious, and incomparably evil.

Demon Realm.

The Queen of the Dark Elves sits gracefully on a makeshift throne.

Below, the dark elves who are building the palace and some of the monsters they enslave.

Rocky stood respectfully beside the Queen of the Dark Elves, who had now reverted to his Dark Elf appearance.

The Dark Elves have only taken a small portion of the Demon Realm.

Because there are still a huge number of monsters in other parts of the Demon Realm, and their numbers are still increasing.

The root of the huge number of monsters is their strong fecundity.

Their pregnancy cycle takes only a few short weeks.

However, this trait degrades when the number of species reaches a certain peak.

This is also the reason why monsters are weak and tenacious.

However, the Dark Elves are not resting on their laurels.

They're thinking about how to proceed with the next step of aggression.

How long will this peace last?

But Curazzo didn't care about these issues, he was thinking about how to throw the damn guy out of front of him.

"Kurazo, this king wants to eat meat. The dragon lay lazily in his chair, calling his name incessantly.

"I'm experimenting with magic, please don't disturb me, and when you're hungry, go out and find something to eat, my king. Curazzo was busy with what he was doing, and he didn't pay any attention to him.

This made the dragon species a little helpless: "If it weren't for the fact that my strength hadn't recovered, I would have gone out a long time ago." ”

After hearing this, Curazzo sighed softly, and then casually threw over the carrot: "That's all, the rest of the experiment." ”

"I'm a dragon, do you understand the dragon, you let the dragon eat carrots?

However, Curazzo's patience had been exhausted by him, and he just said coldly: "It's gone." ”

The dragon species couldn't help but be stunned, but the performance of the belly was still very realistic.

He had to open the door and flew out helplessly.

Hopefully you'll be lucky enough to find a village and fill your stomach a little.

Because the energy in the body is extremely unbalanced now, the dragon form cannot be maintained for too long.

But he still flew aimlessly.

On the other hand, the human border has once again been hit by an insect plague, where there is almost no grain harvest.

This caused famine in many towns.

In desperation, the king sent his nephew, the Duke of Abt, to pacify the populace and find a solution.

At this time, Duke Abt was catering to Charles's wishes and giving speeches in the disaster area.

And he has already distributed some of the food for disaster relief, which is a good start.

The victims below are thanking him for his generosity and kindness, while receiving the relief food in an orderly manner.

They finally see hope in life, and everything seems to be going in a good direction.

Duke Abt smiled hypocritically on the top, who made this time quite rich in oil and water?

It's not in vain.

What was given to them was just a little more abundant horse feed.

Tut-tut, I'm really happy eating.

But he was also desperate to solve the situation at the border quickly.

Because on the way here, scenes of people eating people abounded, which caused him to be so disgusted that he had no appetite for the delicious meal tonight.

The only thing he felt distressed about now was the delicious steaks that he had sent someone to bring from Abra.

The relief food quickly bottomed out, but there were still a large number of people who did not receive relief.

The people complained loudly and angrily.

In an instant, the scene became quite chaotic, and the victims were frantically rushing.

Human nature has long since disappeared, and living is the only thought.

On the other side, the dragon species was chasing a swarm of flying insects and devouring them, although he didn't like these things very much, but when he roasted them, they still tasted pretty good.

But the scale of this group of flying insects does not seem to be large enough, and they can't even stuff his teeth between them.

After swallowing all the flying insects into his stomach, he continued to fly aimlessly, as his stomach showed no signs of being full.

Not long after flying this time, he saw the traces of people.

Oh, I can finally have a good meal, he thought, and leaned down and rushed over.

The people below are still frantically scrambling, but they don't know that death has come.

Abt was about to leave when he looked up to find a rapidly approaching dark figure in the air.

He immediately sensed that something was wrong, he yelled loudly, and almost frantically grabbed the guards around him and quickly led him away.

But the dragon wouldn't give him that chance, and he gulped down the flames, and the terrible howls of humans sounded like good music to his ears.

That's good, he thought, and then lowered his head and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Although he was somewhat helpless.

Have you fallen to the point of eating these things?

But he had to eat, he didn't want to starve.

The only drawback is that the heat is not well mastered, and it is a little baked.

It was an unpleasant dining experience.

The capital of mankind, Azeroto.

López couldn't help but smile as he looked at the two rag dolls in front of him that he and Aya had made.

I was about to take out my money bag to pay the bill, but suddenly I remembered that I had already paid the deposit.

Eyes narrowed like crescents appeared on Aya's fair face for a while.

Finally holding back her smile, she quickly raised her hand and held the two dolls in her arms.

After thanking the boss, he pulled López and walked out.

"Is it cute?" said Aya, holding the doll up to Lopez and happily asking.

"Oh, I'll have to think about it, I wonder if you're asking about a rag doll or my sweet princess?" said López, raising his hand and gently stroking Aya's cheek.

"Well, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. Aya rubbed her head against Lopez's palm, as if trying to bury herself in it.

"Should I say something isn't cute?" Laughing, Lopez reached out and wrapped his left hand around Aya's waist.

With a slight push, Aya threw herself straight into his chest.

Aya seemed a little dissatisfied, she closed her eyes slightly, then tilted her head and leaned gently towards Lopez.

"Did I compliment you on the scent?" asked, Lopez lowered his head and slowly leaned towards Aya, their foreheads pressed tightly together.

But Aya raised her hand and gently touched López's waist: "Failed to change the topic, my knight." ”

López, of course, understood what that meant: "Would you forgive me if I said I had a surprise for you tonight? ”

However, this made the smile on Aya's face gradually freeze, and at the same time, a sigh reached López's ears.

López on the side tilted his head to see Aya's expression clearly, and at the same time opened his mouth to ask, but Aya opened her mouth silently, her voice trembling a little: "I am going back to the Forest of Life soon, and I may not see you for a long time in the future." ”

Aya bit her lower lip tightly, afraid that her tears would flow uncontrollably.

She hugged the rag doll in her hand harder and harder.

"Can your knight get rid of it so easily?" asked López as he withdrew his hands and hugged Aya tightly.

"Hmm, it's hot. Aya gently pressed her chin against López's shoulder.

Time passes slowly around you.

She slowly raised her head and looked into López's eyes affectionately: "I will always love you"

"Me too. ”

The distance between the two lips slowly shortened until they embraced.
