Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Dragon Hunt

Fear stems from the unknown, it is an energy that attracts each other, and when fear binds everyone together, it becomes less illusory.

At least in each other's eyes, it's all very real.

"It's unbelievable that she's got together with the dragon."

"It's terrible that this kind of monster is around us."

"Lord, save us."

A group of people gathered under the fungal tree, pointing at a mother and son.

The mother, who looked very weak, knelt under the fungal tree with her newborn baby in her arms, her face covered with tears.

At first glance, the baby in her arms looks like a normal child, but the baby's neck is reflected in the sunlight and reflects a light that is different from normal skin.

It was not an ordinary skin, but golden spinous scales, which were ridged around the baby's neck, and looked very eye-catching.

Alain looked at the baby with an expression on his face that had never been more solemn than ever, and he remembered that the dragon he buried along with the corpse had a similar scaly structure on its body.

At this time, the mother, who was kneeling under the tree, pleaded helplessly with him:

"Believe me, king, I am very devout in my faith in the Lord, and I really don't know what this is all about."

"She's lying, how could she have given birth to such a child if she hadn't made peace with Long."

"Yes, our children are normal, why are you the only ones?"

"It's scary, I don't want to live with such a monster."

Listening to the gossip of the clansmen in his ears, Alain's heart also became very anxious.

"Give me all the silence, and I will make the right judgment on this matter."

As he spoke, he looked at the mother and son again.

"I, as a king, would like to believe that you are innocent, and that it may be like you say that the dragon impregnated you without your knowledge.

However, it is true that you have given birth to a child of a dragon, and this child must not remain in the tribe. ”

"As long as you throw this child away with your own hands, I am willing to re-accept you on behalf of the people."

The mother thought she had grasped a life-saving straw, but after listening to Alain's words, she lowered her head in despair.

Seeing this, Sha Li on the side couldn't bear to say:

"Brother, isn't it too cruel for you to let a mother throw away her own child with her own hands."

In the past, Alain was very tolerant of Shari, the lost sister, but this time he scolded sharply:

"Sally, stop talking stupid, I'm kind enough to allow her to stay.

As believers in the Creator, the Golden Clan cannot tolerate the descendants of an unknown existence like a dragon, otherwise it would be a betrayal of faith. ”

"If she wants to stay, she must prove her innocence, and throwing away the child with her own hands is the most direct and effective means, so make a choice."

At Alain's questioning, the mother struggled to her feet.

With tears in her eyes, she glanced tenderly at the child in her arms.

"Sith, Mommy knows that you are innocent, you are my child, and I will not abandon you."

With that, she ignored the others and walked through the crowd towards the outside of the village with the child in her arms.

Looking at her stumbling back, Sha Li said sadly:

"Brother, you know best, in the dangerous environment outside, a mother with a newborn child, I'm afraid that she can't even see the first snow of the year, they will all die."

Hearing this, Alain responded with a cold face:

"So what, I've already given her a chance.

I am not the king of any one man, I am responsible to my lord and to all my people.

Shari, you're no longer a child, it's time to put away your senseless compassion. ”

"In your eyes she is a scourge, but in my eyes she is just a mother of a child.

If compassion is a dispensable thing, sooner or later you will become as cold-blooded as your father.

I hate you, brother. ”

Seeing his sister crying and running away, Alan suddenly felt a little melancholy in his heart, even between brothers and sisters who are related by blood, there are times when opinions cannot be unified.

In Shari's impression, Muller was the ruthless father who buried her with his own hands.

In Alain's case, the feelings for Muller are much more complicated.

Although he did not agree with MΓΌller's approach, after becoming king, he also had a little more understanding.

"Since I chose to ascend to the throne, then I will no longer be me, and the world will not need me to be myself.

The servants of the Lord, the gods, the king of the drifters, the patriarchs, these are my identities, but they do not include Alain.

Shari, compassion is too much of a luxury for me right now. ”

…………

The rift between brother and sister did not change anything, and it was the will of all the clansmen to expel everything related to dragons.

In this way, Alain followed the will of the people and launched a long-lasting and powerful dragon hunting campaign.

The campaign was repeated year after year, and he stepped up efforts to screen newborns and expel all suspected dragon descendants from the group.

On the other hand, he also used the power of the water element to examine the bodies of his clansmen and look for the dragons hidden in their bodies.

Searching for and banishing everything related to dragons became an important part of the king's job and the daily routine of all the people.

On this day, Alain began to check the health of his tribesmen as usual.

I saw that he grabbed the arm of one of his clansmen, and then used his elemental power to drill a small hole in his hand, injecting the water element into the opponent's body.

The water elemental power was the softest of the many elements, and the control that came with the spiritual energy allowed him to easily complete the examination without harming the body of his clan.

After feeling the abnormality through the bodily fluids, he quickly retracted his elemental power like fishing.

The next moment, a long, slender parasite was ripped out of the wound on his clansman's hand.

Looking at the golden insects that were constantly distorting, the clansman said with a frightened face:

"The dragon is so weird, I don't even feel it, and it was actually drilled into my body.

Thank you so much, Wang. ”

Hearing this, Alan nodded, and asked the next clansman to step forward and start repeating the operation.

After a busy day, a stone weng was almost filled, and he personally took the "dragon" caught from the body of the clan out of the village for deep burial.

After all this, Alain's face showed a tired expression.

Five years have passed since the start of the dragon hunting campaign, and in the past five years, he has been helping his people to get rid of the "dragon" in their bodies.

The whole process was smooth, and as long as he made a move, he could easily find traces of the "dragon" from the people of the clan.

There were not 10,000 "dragons" buried alive by him, but it was estimated that there were 8,000, but the number of "dragons" in the clansmen had not decreased at all.

No matter how diligent he was, he would rediscover traces of the dragon in the same people each time.

The mysterious "dragons" were born out of nothingness, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not disappear them.

And this feeling of powerlessness is the source of Alain's deep exhaustion.

However, he knew that he was the leader of the clan, and he must not be defeated, otherwise the clan would be even more at a loss.

After quickly adjusting his mood, he returned to the village.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the village, he saw a familiar figure......
