Crossing The Dragon: The King Sacrifices The Princess At The Beginning

Continuing to move towards the capital of Andrius, they encountered several harpies passing by in the sky. Everyone looked up at the sky, and Forbes was also confused.

They all know about the harpies.

This is a very bloodthirsty monster.

They usually live in the deep mountains and old forests, and rarely appear near human city-states. They are cunning in character, bullying the weak and afraid of the strong, and it is absolutely impossible to enter the range of human life. They will only attack lone adventurers and small caravans with little defensive power.

But they met here.

I don't know why, but Forbes always feels that this is not a good sign.

Sure enough, just as he arrived at the gate of the royal city, before he could step forward to show the token of the Airland Empire, a thunderous dragon roar came from the city.

Forbes didn't know how to describe it.

Anyway, his ears lost hearing at that moment, leaving only layers of buzzing.

what happens?

Such questions popped up in the minds of all the spies.

"Crack!"

The sound of leather slapping was like muffled thunder.

Everyone looked in that direction and saw a huge black dragon rising slowly in the center of the royal city, turning its head and spitting dragon breath towards the ground.

"It's the black dragon!"

Forbes exclaimed.

There was a surge of ecstasy in my heart.

It has dark golden dragon horns and a weird molten flame core on its chest. It is good at spitting flames. It is exactly the same as the black dragon described by the border general.

Unexpectedly, I saw the mission target as soon as I arrived at King Andrius City!

Now he has two choices.

The first is to return directly to the Airland Empire to report what he saw to the king. After that, a dedicated dragon-slaying army will come to deal with the giant dragon non-stop.

Second, observe again to see if anything new happens.

Able to become a spy.

Forbes still has some insight into the incident.

One look at the current situation is not simple.

So he planned to follow the flow of people from Anlius and wait and see how the situation would develop. Anyway, there was no big difference between going back one day earlier or one day later.

"Despicable humans actually attack the great dragon!"

Just listen to the giant dragon in the sky speaking human words, making a deafening roar, and spraying another mouthful of dragon breath towards the ground.

Forbes slaps his mouth.

Looking at the current appearance, it seems that the dragon is in conflict with something?

"What's going on, Your Majesty the Black Dragon?"

"Someone is fighting His Majesty the Black Dragon!"

There were such discussions all around.

Forbes looked confused. What did the residents of Anlius call the black dragon?

His Majesty the Black Dragon?

Damn it, when did this black dragon become the emperor? ?

Forbes couldn't put it bluntly.

He listened in silence for a while, and soon he was sure that the surrounding residents did call the black dragon your majesty, and they were still very worried about the black dragon's situation.

Could it be said that this black dragon still has a certain status in the hearts of the residents of Anlius?

Where did the real King Andreus go?

Questions kept flashing through his mind. He looked around and finally saw an old beggar leaning against a low wall in the corner of the city, looking carefree.

Able-bodied beggars are generally the most well-informed group in a city.

As a spy, how to use the surrounding situation to obtain intelligence is a required course for Forbes.

He took out the gold coins packed in advance from the space ring and stepped forward.

"Old sir?" Forbes spoke very politely.

Even if the other person is just a beggar.

"Excuse me, what happened to Anlius? Why does everyone call a black dragon Your Majesty? Also, it seems that no one is surprised by this?"

The old beggar glanced up and down at Forbes.

Grinning with yellow teeth.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed his thumb and index finger in front of Forbes' eyes.

Forbes was well prepared for this. He smiled ingratiatingly, then took out a silver coin from the gold coin bag and put it into the old beggar's hand.

The beggar weighed the silver coin up and down, put it in his mouth and took a bite. After making sure it was fine, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Haha, young man~" the old beggar smiled enigmatically, "You are asking the right person when you ask me. I don't know anything about the situation of any house in these ten miles away, and the harvest, and what happened in the royal city. I also know everything~"

Forbes nodded patiently and bowed.

He motioned to the old beggar to continue.

After the old beggar finished speaking, he did not hesitate and told the most widely circulated version in the entire city of King Andrius: "... King Andrius found out that his queen was having an affair with a knight, and he was very angry, so he He wanted to kill someone to vent his anger, but later he was shocked to find that the queen actually had some unclear relationship with all the guards in the palace. The entire palace was controlled by the queen. He couldn't defeat the queen at all. Even the prince was someone else's seed. , King Andrius had no choice, so he invited a giant dragon from the Silver Moon Mountains for help at the cost of the power of the entire empire... In the end, the black dragon destroyed the queen and her army, and King Andrius also lost the king's power. Right, now this country belongs to the black dragon~"

Forbes nodded suddenly upon hearing this.

There are similar stories like this in history. For example, a noble asked a demon to help him avenge himself. In the end, the enemy died and his soul was eaten by the demon. However, King Anrius was more open-minded and directly took the money from Silver. Yueshan Mountain invited a black dragon to come out.

After understanding this.

He asked the old beggar again: "I heard that the black dragon is cruel and despicable, but it seems that everyone still loves the black dragon very much. This..."

The old beggar raised his eyebrows.

Rub your thumb and index finger up and down.

Forbes twitched the corner of his mouth and cursed the old beggar for being ignorant, but he still took out another silver coin and stuffed it into the old beggar's hand.

"Hehehe~" The old beggar smiled obscenely and continued to answer:

"I don't know who said it, but the black dragon is cunning, despicable and cruel. At least the Black Dragon Emperor is different. Not only has it not killed humans since it took office, it has also promulgated many policies that are beneficial to the development of cities and empires, and even cultivated high-yielding crops. , people's living standards are getting better and better, this is a change that can be felt personally, and I can get more and more food, so who cares whether the ruler is a human or a dragon?"

Forbes was a little unbelievable when he heard this.

A black dragon, protecting humans?

Also promulgate policies that are conducive to human urban development?

Does it understand what politics is? !

If this was done by a golden or silver dragon, Forbes thought it was normal.

But it was an evil black dragon, and nothing looked right.

At this moment, the battle in the center of the city gradually became more intense, and the noise of the people became louder and louder. A roar was heard from near the black dragon:

"Evil black dragon! You have invaded our human city. I will kill you with my sword today!"
