"What, you don't believe it?" Seeing Bai Yi's hesitation, the Dragon King narrowed his eyes.
Bai Yi looked at him and finally smiled bitterly:
"I have no choice."
"You are a smart man, just follow me."
She said, turned around, and walked towards the cave.
Bai Yi looked at the unconscious Kuroki and the girl, worried, and asked:
"What about them, will they be okay?"
"This is my territory, animals don't have the courage."
But even so, Bai Yi was still worried.
In the end, he held the girl in his arms and followed him.
As for the black wood?
Then let him continue to lie there, after all, he couldn't free himself.
——
Bai Yi followed the Dragon King and headed towards the mysterious cave.
The Dragon King used lighting magic, and a fireball floated in the air, leading the way.
Before arriving at the destination, Bai Yi wanted to obtain more information.
"You read my memory, right? Just now."
"You are very smart."
"Can you really give me an answer? Where are we going?"
"You'll know when you go there."
"I thought you would let me treat you first."
"I do think so, but that would be a bit untrue. I'm not that kind of person."
"I do not understand……"
"You don't need to understand."
This conversation seems a bit confusing, and there are too many mysteries surrounding the Dragon King.
She didn't seem to want to mention it, so Bai Yi simply changed the topic.
"Why... do you want a virgin?"
"Because it's delicious, is that weird?"
"No, what I mean is that you are quite powerful. If you are just greedy and go out casually, wouldn't you be able to get as much as you want?
And why do you keep an eye on that Stone Village and just look at the cracks in your teeth for a whole year?"
"Hehehe..."
She chuckled strangely and did not answer directly, but said:
"Do you believe what the village chief said?"
"I don't believe it now. If it's convenient, I'd like you to clarify my doubts."
"People's hearts are not as old as they used to be, that's all."
With that, he began to tell another version of the story.
Things have to start two hundred years ago.
Two hundred years ago, the Dragon King landed in Ghost Mountain and settled here.
At the same time, Shitou Village was a poor village. The locals were barely clothed, as skinny as firewood, and had to exchange their children for food. They were very poor.
As for the reason? This is because of frequent droughts in the area and water shortage all year round.
The crops cannot be grown and the people cannot make a living.
Although the village sent people to the royal capital to ask for help, how could the aristocratic master pay attention to this matter?
Not to mention, Stone Village is located in a remote location and has little value.
Just like Baicheng now, the royal capital doesn't care about his life or death at all.
It was against this background that the villagers took the risk and targeted the Dragon King of Ghost Mountain.
Since the gods of the royal capital cannot be relied upon, then go and beg the monsters and gods.
No, a brave villager entered the Ghost Mountain and met the Dragon King.
And this Dragon King is not a good fighter either.
Seeing how courageous the villagers were and how pitiful the village was, they felt kindhearted and made a contract.
The content of the contract is also very simple. The village only needs to hand over two boys and girls every year, and the Dragon King will ensure that the Stone Village has good weather and peace forever.
It is precisely because of this contract that the living standard of the village has skyrocketed, and it has become as wealthy as it is today.
In the early days, the village was grateful to the Dragon King.
So he was given the title "Dragon King".
Rather, if this Dragon King is as unworthy as the village chief said, then his title of Dragon King is not valid at all.
It should be [Dragon Demon] [Dragon] [Monster] or something.
——
For more than two hundred years, this contract has been peaceful.
It wasn't until ten years ago that there was a change.
Ten years ago, the village did not turn over any boys or girls.
The Dragon King noticed this, but didn't say anything.
After all, we have been cooperating for so many years, and we are so familiar with each other. It doesn’t matter if we are missing one or two times. We will still get the rain that needs rain and the protection that needs protection.
But the problem is that the Dragon King is generous, but the villagers are not.
No, since he didn't hand over the child, he has been in panic all day long, for fear of the Dragon King's revenge.
After much thought, I decided to strike first and spend a lot of money to recruit strong men from all walks of life to attack.
That's called repaying kindness with hatred.
——
"It's a pity that the people they called were just drunkards and nothing worth mentioning. They actually want to play, so of course I have to give them some respect."
So the Dragon King killed all the intruders, and during this period, he did not take revenge on the village.
From the Dragon King's perspective, those dead intruders were a warning.
But the people in the village don't think so.
When the villagers saw that the Dragon King did not fight back, they thought that the Dragon King could not leave the Ghost Mountain and that they had nothing to do with it, so they became even more proud.
No, there are too many intruders this year, almost every day.
The Dragon King became impatient with the noise, so he started a heavy rainstorm, killing several people.
As for what happened after that, it was simple, some villagers moved away.
The remaining part are villagers who have nowhere to go or are reluctant to leave.
"And the village chief is one of them. He is the head of a village and owns a lot of real estate in the village. Naturally, he refuses to leave." Bai Dao said.
The Dragon King didn't say anything, just smiled.
Unknowingly, the two of them came to the end of the cave, and there was a dead end in front of them.
The Dragon King waved his right hand, and the wall flashed with white light.
The next moment, a square stone tunnel appeared in front of you.
The two of them walked in for about a hundred meters.
When I came out, I found a hall with a lot of old-fashioned furniture, but many of the furniture were covered with dust, as if no one had used it for a long time.
"Do you live alone?" Bai Yi asked.
"if not?"
"You should keep some children. At least you have someone to talk to."
"What a fuss!"
She continued to lead the way, twisting and turning, and passed through many rooms.
Bai Yi found that most rooms were equipped with matching beds and furniture.
They were all covered in dust, covered with cobwebs, and had not been used for a long time.
——
The two finally stopped at a house with no end in sight.
Looking around, the whole room is filled with bookshelves two meters high, with a large number of dusty books stacked on them.
The reason why it is said that the end of this room cannot be seen is because this room is very dark and you cannot see very far.
"Are these books yours?"
"As a servant of the God of Wisdom, is it strange to collect books?"
"Hopefully I can find what I'm looking for."
"Yes, I have some impressions."
She said, walking into the dark depths.
When I came out again, it was already ten minutes later.
There is an extra book in my hand, it is very thin and as thick as an exercise book.
"Let's take a look, it should be."
She threw the book over, Bai Yi took it, held the girl and sat on a wooden chair next to her, saying:
"Can't be mistaken?"
"Are you doubting my memory?"
"What does this have to do with memory?"
The Dragon King didn't answer any more, but left. Bai Yi didn't say much and began to look at the book.
There is no title, no publisher, not even a table of contents.
Some are just straightforward narratives starting from the first page.
