Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

Alger was blindfolded and turned left and right in the passage.

When the black cloth was taken off, he saw an extremely spacious cave in front of him. In the center of the cave, the red dragon was lying on a huge rock, its eyes slightly narrowed, as if it was resting.

The Bugbear pushed Alger forward, forced him to kneel down, and then said respectfully: "Master, I brought this human."

The red dragon in front of him opened his eyes lazily, and then said casually: "Well done, please step back first."

Alger could even feel the sulfur-smelling heat coming out of the red dragon's mouth.

"Yes, Master."

The bugbear bowed respectfully.

Alger stood up from the ground with difficulty, gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Evil dragon, no matter what conspiracy you have, I will not let you succeed, even if it means death!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes, straightened his back, and prepared to face the anger of the red dragon.

No matter what he was about to face was scorching flames or sharp claws, he was not afraid.

Unexpectedly, Red Dragon's tone was not angry at all, and he just asked: "Why did Brad Luckman send you here?"

Alger closed his eyes tightly and refused to let go as if he hadn't heard.

Seeing Alger's reaction, combined with its timing, Cassius roughly guessed his mission this time, which should be the infamous "Tiefling Camp Massacre" in his previous life.

Hundreds of Eagle Guards searched everywhere for traces of tieflings. Once found, they immediately launched a massacre. No one was spared, no matter the old, weak, women, or children. They burned the scene directly and destroyed all surrounding witnesses.

Originally, this operation should have gone smoothly.

Unfortunately, they encountered the Burning Ember Nest.

Thinking of this, looking at Alger who refused to let go, Cassius asked in a joking tone: "Alger Yeoman, do you know how your parents died?"

As soon as these words came out, Alger's expression suddenly changed, and the most secret wound in his heart was opened bloody. He couldn't help but open his eyes and said loudly:

"This is impossible!"

"Why do you know!"

Seeing Alger open his eyes, the red dragon said calmly: "You don't need to know why, you just need to answer truthfully as far as you know."

Cassius repeated again:

"So tell me, how did your parents die?"

"yes……"

However, Alger didn't notice that there was an imperceptible red light in the red dragon's vertical pupils, and the same was true in his own eyes.

"Sacrificially sacrificed to the devil by those damn tiefling bastards!

Alger thought of those painful memories, his eyes turned red and he gritted his teeth.

Cassius asked casually: "Then who told you this news?"

"Yes, yes... Your Majesty the Duke."

"Then why as far as I know that's not the case."

"what do you know?"

"What I know is that your beloved Duke, in order to seek eternal life and become an immortal vampire, exchanged the lives of thousands of people in the city, among which——"

Cassius' tone paused.

"Including your parents."

The red dragon in front of him was like the devil in hell, using clever words to seduce the minds of the humans in front of him step by step.

"No...impossible!"

"you are lying!"

Alger shouted with a trembling tone.

However, under the deliberate guidance of the red dragon, he could not help but think of this terrible possibility - his benefactor, his godfather, the Duke to whom he swore lifelong loyalty was actually his enemy.

Cassius pressed forward step by step, slowly spread his wings, shrouded Alger in a huge shadow, and looked down at him:

"Think about it carefully, has your beloved Duke ever left the castle once?"

"Has he ever been bathed in sunshine instead of in shadow? Even when he was giving a high-sounding speech."

"You have a sensitive sense. Have you ever heard the screams of the victims coming from the backyard of Luckman Castle, and smelled the smell of blood under the soil?"

"When you slaughtered innocent creatures, did you know that they would be used as sacrifices and become the sad material for the Duke's eternal life?"

As Cassius finished speaking, the image of blazing fire appeared in front of Alger again, and in the flames were crying children and mothers holding their children.

"No, no, I didn't..."

"I don't."

Alger kept backing away and shaking his head.

He felt groggy and had a splitting headache, and every detail in his memory became so clear that it seemed to be proof of it all.

"No……"

"You're lying, you're deceiving me."

"I will not listen to your slander. Your Majesty the Duke clearly..."

Alger collapsed on the ground, shaking his head and muttering, his eyes filled with a dense haze.

After a long time, his eyes regained some clarity, and his voice trembled: "Evil dragon!"

"You, what did you do to me?"

Cassius looked down at him indifferently and said, "It's just a little trick, to make you accept the truth."

"Besides, if you do these things, why do you have the right to call me an 'evil dragon'?"

"No, I don't believe it."

"This must be your conspiracy!"

"You are deceiving me, right! You used your magic to mislead me! I, I will not listen to your slander."

"Your machinations are nothing in front of the loyal Northern Wind Eagle Guard!"

Alger forced himself to stand up and tried not to think about those terrible words, but the excuses in his mouth were so feeble.

"I don't have to lie to you."

"And... you'll find out soon enough."

Cassius did not get entangled with Alger. He just leaned down calmly, narrowed his eyes and continued to rest, while calling the bugbear at the door.

"Take him back to the dungeon and lock him up."

"Yes, Master."

The three bugbears who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward and forcibly took the struggling Alger away.

Before being carried away, he still looked excited and kept talking.

"Evil dragon, you can't fool me!"

"Don't even think about slandering the Duke!"

"You're with those devils!"

Years of loyalty education within the family have long since developed the principle of absolute obedience in him. He is just a sharp blade for the family, and weapons have no right or wrong.

Don't ask why, just do it.

This is what the old instructors often say,

Therefore, as a competent Eagle Guard, Alger often frees his mind, tries not to think about right and wrong, and habitually deceives himself - especially when killing, when facing unarmed refugees.

Now, Alger rarely thought about all this.

As long as he is allowed to do this, a gap will appear in his psychological defense, and all it takes is a little more inducement to make it collapse.

Cassius's purpose had been achieved.

The perspective will be back in the next chapter
