"Dragon King~ Dragon King, originally my stupid brother Shi Chen was going to come as a sacrifice, but I swapped with him...... Dragon King, I've always wanted to meet you......

Anyway, this time the sacrifice is different.

Once upon a time, when the dragon king was not eating people, he lived happily with people.

Once upon a time, the dragon king could happily shake his body surrounded by children......

But everything has become a distant dream, and the treatment of 'people' must be suppressed bloodily. Make them tremble, make them afraid. Otherwise, you'll face endless troubles......

I know that the people I raise have not been doing well. It's not a question of living and fodder conditions...... It's the kind of torment in my heart. I can't see the torment of tomorrow......

Although the sacrifice this time also trembled because of the sight of my true form, it was an instinctive reaction of biological instinct to huge objects and higher lifeforms, at least humans and animals, to a certain extent, can still be controlled. The rest of the animals are basically not.

But there is a limit to this......

"Aren't you afraid of me, or don't you know?" I'll eat you.

...... Yes, it's like your family slaughtering pigs and sheep during the New Year's holidays, but I don't need it, as long as I open my mouth and take a bite. I'll swallow you!

...... Are you not afraid?'

Opening his mouth to perform, with a bit of ridiculous provocation, is also telling a fact. Actually, I can't speak human language, it's a sound I learned to make by using air vibrations when I reached the four golden lines.

Or maybe it's been too long, too long since I've talked to someone...... They were all afraid of me......

"I'm afraid. The boy nodded. But immediately-

"Dragon King, I understand what it's like to be hungry...... But the Dragon King. Will you listen to my story before you eat me?"

nod

And so the boy began his story......

It's actually quite simple. Because the dragon king wants to eat meat, human flesh. So I don't know when. The village started buying and selling 'human flesh'......

This is an inevitable development. The problem is that it's too far away from the Central Plains after all...... It is impossible to rely on 'imports' alone to satisfy the Dragon King's monthly desires......

So some bizarre professions were born......

For example, maternity ...... that are bought specifically for birth offerings

We can't tell more about how broken this specific story is. (Will be harmonized!!)

...... Where there are people, there is class...... And the people in the world have always been in a kind of external and internal troubles.

At the same time, the dragon king also understands why the quality of 'human flesh' is getting worse and worse......

Anyone who has played "Maki ○ Monogatari" knows that, of course, the dragon king has naturally not played this game.

But I have actually been running the ranch for many years, such as the production of milk, according to the beast, naturally doing things that make the cows very comfortable. Then the cow volunteered to give milk.

The more comfortable you are, the more you give......

Of course, in fact, the more comfortable and relaxed the animal, the better the quality of the agricultural and sideline products produced. This is true even for plants...... How much more are people......

People say they are pregnant in October. And the dragon king has to eat one child every month! and all children are six to twelve years old...... Not a baby in swaddling clothes. Shouldn't you be able to stuff your teeth......

Then we can calculate an account, and a simple multiplication and division can understand how many non-stop mothers are needed to meet the requirements of the dragon king. Of course, because the time of conception is still somewhat uncertain, the more this number is naturally the better......

The so-called sacrifice of adults after nightfall, anyway, people can always come up with various ways to survive...... The helplessness of human nature is also accompanied by it.

The envoy and Shi Chen are twin brothers, of course, they also have other brothers and sisters with the same fate, and their mother is a beautiful girl who was abducted and trafficked outside......

She doesn't care about a child who is destined to be sacrificed and doesn't even know who his father is, like other women who have accepted her fate......

There is no disappointment without expectations...... If you don't give your feelings, you won't be hurt by your feelings. People have joys and sorrows. This matter is difficult to complete...... Anyway, people can always find all kinds of excuses to escape in order to survive. There's no way around it. What can you do if you don't believe in fate? It's not the same life......

Some people say that behind a successful man, there is a successful woman who has died, and this woman is not necessarily a lover or something, it is very likely that she is a mother...... For example, the three migrations of Meng's mother in the Three Character Sutra.

The mother is the mother of all 'people' and she gives 'love' to all the children who are raised...... Give them their first and last names...... Teach them to speak 'human' language......

In the eyes of others, it is actually cruel. That inevitable death. Born already destined to be eaten......

But my mother didn't think so, and although she couldn't get rid of the fate of death, who wouldn't die......? I didn't liliang to save my children. But I have liliang to make my child die like a 'person'! Even if Zuihou's zuihou can shout - help!

It is in the nature of animals to protect their young. I don't want to hear the cries for help from the 'same kind of cubs', because I can't save them...... Said to cover his ears and steal the bell. In fact, it is just a disguised stress relief...... Life is a whole life, but the pursuit of peace of mind, and on the basis of that, happiness is ...... But if you haven't felt pain, you can't feel happiness either. It is one and the same as pain, and the more happiness he gets, the more pain he gets......

Therefore, the more easily satisfied the person, that is, the person with the so-called lower laughing point, it proves that he is suffering greatly from the matter......

"What do you want me to do, boy?"

「...... Dragon King, I've been wondering how we are different from the pigs and sheep that we raise......

Zuihou found that the answer was simple. We are human beings, not civilized animals, they only know how to eat, drink and Lazar, and there is only one thing that is the same as us, that is, greedy for life and afraid of death!

It's just death, Mom said...... In the face of inevitable death, I beg for mercy and run away, so I will die as a coward...... I fight it! Then I die as a warrior......

And me. To die as a saint!

Dragon King, you can eat me. I just hope you ......."

"Shut up!

What kind of identity! Isn't there a request for me~? As a sacrifice, what qualifications do you have to tell me the conditions!'

I was furious. I don't know weishenme, I feel it, the kind of liliang in the depths of my body's soul, the liliang that I still can't touch my head-

It was a kind of light, so dazzling......

weishenme？

Weishenme Heaven is so unfair.

What am I looking for for a thousand years that liliang will appear on my food!?

"It's different...... the boy nodded with a smile.

"As I said, they only beg for mercy, and I have a choice. Because I'm a human being! I'm a human being who has been given a free consciousness! And I'm going to die in that capacity. It's my choice!

Dragon King......

You can not meet my hopes. But you also lose the opportunity to enjoy real happiness, think about it. For life can only be truly happy when it is given...... You want a couple of flesh from my body, right? I'll give it to you...... It's not that you plundered me from Liliang, but I gave it to you. At the moment of death. My heart is looking down on you――――――

..............................

How long ago was that......

It's been too long, this feeling. At the beginning, he was still caught in the palm of his hand by his master...... That's how I feel when I'm still so young......

The feeling of facing a life that is bigger than oneself......

I flinched...... The body really took a step back.

The 'bestiality' that I retain prevents me from treating him as mere food...... But I'm also a superior intelligent being, and I have the pride of my queen!

"Forget it, just listen to your request. I can see if your request is met......

「xiexie......」

『！！！』

"What's wrong?

Mom said that if someone is willing to help you, then you must thank you...... Dragonlord, have you never been told xiexie?"

『...... Yes.

It's just been too long......

Everybody's afraid of me. My people are stupid~~'

"That's not the Dragon King, you have to know that if you don't thank you first, you won't let people xiexie you......

"Really?xiexie, you've taught me so much today!xiexie~~"

"I always feel like your 'xiexie' is wrong......

"Huh. You're so careful~~』

........................

..................

............

Outside of Shijie, they are isolated Shijie people.

They were brought together......

Of course, no one can remove the malignancy.

But this ugliness does not arise from within. It's external pressure...... A wide variety of pressures......

But self-evil is not a real thing.

Man's evil is only the poison of the devil.

Therefore – The light in the dark night was even more dazzling. That dry bone can also give birth to a beautiful mandala......

The boy said Xiexie's smile, and the dragon king couldn't forget it......

Even if it's a silly brother who looks the same as him. Even if he inherited his brother's name. But still smile like that......

The hope of a teenager is actually very simple......

I remember that you people have a saying called "filial piety heaven and earth".

Even the heavens and the earth have been moved, how can I, a small insect living between the heavens and the earth struggling to survive, not be moved?

Is this what is called virtue?

But I can't add to the loss of his life......

"Dragon King. In fact, even if you don't eat me, it's past today. There's no way I'm going to survive. In order to kill you, they tried to feed us these sacrifices with all kinds of medicines. When the hour comes, I will probably decay little by little, and zuihou will turn into a pool of pus and blood...... Brother Shen also took this medicine half a year ago, and you didn't take him as the Dragon King, so in order to fight for this opportunity......

Looking at the surrendering crowd, the young man standing on the Dragon King suddenly said with a pale face......

「...... The dragon king is sorry, I deceived you......" The boy lying on the ground pleaded with his mother and his brother weeping bitterly......

........................

「...... Dragon King, can you eat me? This is what I promised you, and I know that I have been poisoned, and this poison is a rotten poison that has no solution. But you should be fine, right? Now it's starting to flare up......" The boy's life is losing little by little...... But I can't save its fragile body......

........................

"Dragon King, I'm in pain~. Please~, make my death easier. I don't want to rot little by little and die?"

I don't want to watch it, I really don't want to watch it......

It was said. Don't leave something beautiful in a dirty place unless you want to watch it get dirty......

I'm going to hold this beautiful ......

There was no pain in the death of the teenager, because I had knocked him unconscious...... Then, I kept him in my body forever......

For the first time, I discovered that eating can also be so sacred......

I could see him smile and say this to me......

Since then, there have been new rules in the village. I also made a necklace for the boy's skull and wore it around his neck...... It made me feel like he was there for me all the time.

Give people comfort, give people happiness...... I'll talk to the offerings...... We grant them an equal death. They were all voluntary because I was able to fulfill their wishes...... If they don't want to, I won't eat them. Because it's just a kind of 'poison'. A 'poison' that hinders my 'evolution'!

It's not that he's poisoned physically, it's mentally poisoned! that poison is called 'despair,' and that poison is called 'fear...... It's going to ~stain my soul~!

...... The village is getting bigger and bigger. The entry of outsiders has made the number of times I go out and the scope of my activities smaller and smaller......

But I don't care about that, because I can always feel that they are there for me all the time......

You can see it in the physical changes...... I'm sublimating day by day, I'm evolving day by day~!!

How do you say that......

Born from the heart. I'm happy~, that's the joy of giving......

The body grew again, and the black carapace retreated. The whole body is as white as jade~, glowing with beautiful light...... Of course, I can control it. I wasn't used to it for a while, so I turned it black. Otherwise, it will become a lantern when you go out at night......

And the fifth golden vein on the most obvious natural body also loomed out...... I can feel it, I'm going to be!

...... I don't know exactly what it is, but I know it's definitely a good thing!!Great good thing~!!

And this day. Once again, I heard the familiar supplication......

...... This really treats me as a god and worships the rhythm~, I don't know what kind of poison your father has in......?

Not to mention the son of an acquaintance...... It looks seven or eight points like the face on the necklace......

I saw them through the hollow of the dragon's head......

But there's a little bit of a pit dragon, and recently the head has grown again. This dragon head statue is already a little squeezed......

What is that sentence called, the face is shameless??

This dragon king is also the ancestor of all poisons. What I have been studying all these years is detoxification...... If I had the medical skills I have today, I think about back then. He probably wouldn't have died......

The huge head in the distance, how do you say that-

When the book is used, you will hate less......

There is no regret in the world.

I don't know if it's Xuan Xuan's grandson's little go to take the blood of the poisoned person. On a whim, he stunned two bear children who didn't know the height of the sky. As a joke, it was still on the fodder haystack at the entrance of the village......

I promise you any conditions~~. I really don't know how thick the sky is......

When I came back to analyze the blood samples of the poisoned people, I found that the little ones were ...... Anyway, I can't remember exactly, anyway, if you let it go to one person to take a bite, it's definitely a win-win.

But the ideal is very satisfying, but the reality is very skinny...... Because who's little one (what a pit daddy!) was arrested?

Is this a bit of an unfortunate thing to encounter, and is it a 'poaching' by outsiders? This happens many times a year......

Well, there are many children and grandchildren of the clan, so I can only make a trip in person...... I think you'll be able to find something that is almost toxic...... Otherwise, let a few take turns to take a few bites.

And so the dragon king left......

In this way, a pair of sacrifices were delivered......

In this way, the powder that drove the descendants of the dragon prince crazy was smeared with a smile on a pair of sinful hands...... By the way, I bounced on JJ, who was unconscious, and everything disappeared as night fell......

Ultimately......

walked to the road that was arranged to be haode ...... (To be continued......)

PS: To be honest, I cried when I coded this chapter......

I was shocked by what I had written, and it was good to say that I was alone, but I really put my heart into it! I have no regrets......
