The sky is so grey that it's impossible to tell if it's day or night. The drizzle mixed with flakes of snow fell on the muddy and dark streets, and the dilapidated and dilapidated buildings on both sides could still show a little bit of the prosperity of the past. On the exterior wall of the building, there are several crumbling neon lights, flickering on and off, as if the lights will go out at any time, bringing a pitiful light to this strip.

A string of heavy footsteps in armor stepped through the mud on the street, and the footsteps stopped under a neon sign, the words on the sign had been mostly extinguished, and it could only be vaguely seen that this signboard belonged to a bar.

The person at the front looked up at the signboard, and with his hand also wrapped in armor, rudely pushed open the iron door under the neon sign, and under his leadership, a group of people, crowded, squeezed into the small door of the bar.

Inside the bar, there were only three or five customers, which was very deserted, but compared to the ghost weather outside, the bar was still a lot warmer. The barkeeper and bartender was boredomically wiping down a wooden bar clean enough to be used as a mirror.

The door opened without warning, the cold wind poured into the bar, and several customers were about to scold, but when they looked at the outfits of the visitors, they all honestly suppressed the anger, they were outside, they may be able to act recklessly, but everything has a bottom line, and this group of rude people who enter the bar is this bottom line.

Entering the bar, a group of people didn't even close the door, brutally pulled over a few empty tables, and sat down together, the rain that slipped on their bodies pooled into one ugly mottled patch after another on the clean floor of the bar. The bar owner used his speed to close the door of the bar for the group and return to the bar.

"You, go get something to warm up my brothers!" In front of the bar, a man commanded in a rude tone.

The bar owner looked at the man in front of him, with beautiful short blond hair, turquoise eyes, reptile-like pupils, under the cloak, revealing a gray armor, the buttons of the cloak and the chest of the armor, are two identical emblems, belonging to the "Empire", and the group of people sitting casually in the bar are also dressed in the same attire.

"What? Confused? Or are you afraid that we won't pay the bills? Seeing that the bar owner didn't move for a long time, the blonde man was a little unhappy, "Don't worry, keep the account in mind, and you can go to the patrol team to settle the settlement in a few days." ”

"No, it's not!" The barkeeper panicked, "I'm just thinking about what kind of drink to make for you, but you're a big man, how can you be lazy?" ”

The blonde man was visibly happy, "Alright! Don't bother! We still have a mission, we can't stay too long, you just bring the best! Remember, be the best! If you dare to lie to me, you know the consequences! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The bar owner nodded and said, then squatted down, rummaged through the bar, and soon found his private treasure in a secret compartment, touching the dusty body of the wine, the bar owner couldn't say distressed, the value of this bottle of wine was enough to cover his entire bar.

"Why don't you change the bottle and get a bad one?" The thought flashed away, the other party was a patrol of the "Empire", and it was impossible for a small bar owner to deceive the other party.

With a friendly smile, the barkeeper placed the cleaned treasures and wine glasses in front of the patrol. The blonde man who led the team casually poured out a small half glass of wine, sniffed it, and took a sip, "It's not particularly good, but it's okay, it's not bad for such a broken bar!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! If only you were satisfied! The bar owner smiled, quickly hid behind the bar, and sighed, he couldn't get back the money for this bottle of wine, and went to the patrol to settle the bill? Just kidding, he was afraid that he would have to lose half his life as soon as he approached the neighborhood where the patrol headquarters was located, but at least, his bar and himself were temporarily saved a life, but how many times could he save himself with just one or two bottles of good things in his hand?

"Damn it!" The bar owner cursed in his heart, he is an A-level "sober person", and almost all the customers in the bar are A-level, in the past, who dared to make trouble? But now, everyone here, including himself, can only nod to this group of foreign invaders, everything stems from the day a few years ago, the "garden" fell, the "empire" rose, a large number of invaders from the so-called magic dimension poured into this world, the old order was wiped out overnight, and the world became the property of the ruler of the "empire" alone.

At first, there were still many "sober people" and organizations who tried to overthrow the rule of the "empire", including the bar owner himself, who was also a part of it, but over the past few years, instead of harming the monster of the "empire" in the slightest, they were on their own side, dead and scattered, and the "empire" offered a lot of tempting conditions to the "sober people" who surrendered, and the power of the resistance army gradually weakened, and the bar owner had no choice but to survive in the shadow of the "empire".

"It's so boring to have wine alone! Boss, get some hot dishes! "A new order came from the patrol, and the bar owner had to go into the kitchen and take on the role of chef.

"It's just that, it's all the cause that you planted, and the bitter fruit that grows should be swallowed by yourself." The bar owner still remembers that during the period when the "Empire" first appeared and confronted the "Garden", a large number of "sober people" were intoxicated by the privileged policies of the "Empire" and sided with the "Empire", and only the "Garden" struggled to support it.

Now, the "Empire" has indeed fulfilled its promise, and the "sober" have the privilege, but this privilege is in exchange for dignity, and they are now living like puppies raised by the "Empire". It's no problem for them to bite ordinary people, but once they meet a member of the real "empire", then you have to be obedient and be a good slave, otherwise, you'd better pray to death to take you out of this world sooner.

The dishes were all served, and the bar owner stood aside obediently, waiting for the next order given to him by the patrol, seeing this group of reptiles dressed in human skin, enjoying their precious wine and food, the bar owner felt a burst of nausea in his heart, yes, none of the real members of this patrol, even the "empire", were human, they called themselves "dragons".

"Humph! Dragons? I'm still an angel! The barkeeper sneered, "It's just an ugly, half-human, half-lizard bunch of monsters." ”

"Huh? You seem to have a grudge in your heart, huh? The blonde patrol leader said coldly, eating a steak.

The bar owner was taken aback and hurriedly said, "No! No! It is my pleasure to serve you! ”

The captain put down the knife and fork in his hand, and stared at the bar owner with a pair of terrifying vertical eyes, "I warn you, just human, don't think too much!" In my opinion, you are the lives of slaves! There is no difference between it and ordinary people outside, on the side of the street, lying on their stomachs and waiting to die! Not at all worthy of the so-called privileges that His Majesty has bestowed upon you! ”

"That's it! It is! The boss is right! ”

"Makes sense! In terms of physical fitness, in terms of magic, they are simply a bunch of rubbish! ”

"Waste should be thrown out into the garbage heap and drenched in the rain!"

……

The members of the patrol hurled insults and ridiculed the owner of the bar, and the guests in the bar turned their faces away, pretending not to see all this, and that no one wanted to get into trouble if they could live one day at a time.

The barkeeper stood like a clown, smiling wryly, and letting the patrolmen amuse himself until the cold wind and rain ruined the nature of the patrol.

The door of the bar opened again, and unlike the rudeness of the patrol, the three people who entered the bar this time opened the door softly and quickly, and closed it quickly, as if they were afraid of the cold of the street to enter the bar. The three of them glanced around the bar and sat down at a table not far from the patrol, which also shifted the patrol's attention from the bar owner to them.

"Boss, do you want to check it out?" One of the patrol members asked, and normally humans are far away when they encounter them, but the three men don't seem to care about the patrol's presence.

The blonde man thought for a moment and pushed the bar owner out, "Go, get to the bottom of them." ”

The patrol captain spoke, and the bar owner had to bite the bullet, came to the table of three, and asked, "Hello, what do you need?" ”

"Three bowls of hot soup." It was a young man who spoke, and all three of them wrapped themselves tightly in cloaks similar to those of the patrol, and if it weren't for their polite manners, the barkeeper would have been another "Imperial" patrol.

"Wait a minute!" The other party ordered, and the bar owner did not run to the kitchen immediately, but returned to the patrol leader, he did not dare to forget the task assigned to him by the patrol leader.

"Did you figure it out?" The patrol leader asked coldly with his eyes fixed in the direction of the three.

The bar owner replied respectfully: "It seems to be three travelers, who have caught a cold, come in and drink some hot soup." ”

"Travelers?" The patrol leader's pupils narrowed, not quite trusting the bar owner's judgment, and since the three men entered the bar, he had a vague premonition that something was about to happen.

"Don't you think, sir, that the cloaks they wear are very similar to ours?" One of the team members reminded that their cloaks were specially made by the Quartermaster Department, and that there were strict restrictions on materials and styles, and it was difficult to have similar cloaks in the outside world.

"Is it the brother of the other team?" Another patrol member speculated.

Things can be big or small, the patrol leader decided to make sure, he didn't want to go wrong during his shift, "Bello, you go and interrogate it!" ”

"Yes, sir!" The young patrolman named Bello immediately got up and walked over to the three cloaked men.

"Boss, those three guys, something is wrong! There's no danger for Bello to go on his own, right? A patrol member worried.

The patrol leader said confidently: "Don't forget, we are a noble dragon clan, not to mention that this is not our dimension, if a few passers-by can slay the dragon, then we will not be able to rule here so easily!" ”

"That's not right! Wait a minute! A patrol member slapped the table and said, "Bello! Come back! ”

"What's wrong?" Bello had just walked up to the three cloaked men, heard the call, and turned around.

The captain of the patrol was also puzzled, when he saw three cloaked men gather around Bello, one of them took out a shiny, blood-red dagger, and wiped it on Bello's neck, and the hot, bright red blood flowed out, Belo clutched his throat in pain, and fell to the ground in shock, and in the light, the young man turned into a corpse in the shape of a humanoid lizard.

The patrol captain suddenly remembered the task they had received before they left, saying that the patrol in the next neighborhood had been ambushed and the whole team had been wiped out, and they were told to pay more attention to suspicious people in their jurisdiction. He didn't think so, they were noble dragons! Although they are in a humanoid state, their defense is top-notch, in this world, how can it be so easy for people to kill, maybe it is that group of guys who are unlucky and provoke the demonic beasts roaming in the wild. But now, everything is happening in front of his eyes, and the patrol captain can't believe it, the daggers in the hands of the three cloaked men have indeed cut through the solid defense of the dragon scales.

"Who are you? Also from our dimension? The patrol leader guessed that the dagger in the other party's hand was a weapon from the magic dimension, which was the only reasonable explanation.

"Isn't it, it has nothing to do with you!" Among the cloaked men, the young man said arrogantly, "You seem to be their leader?" Let me ask you, has a team of 'Imperial' researchers come to this city these days? ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about! I advise you to surrender obediently! Come back with us! The patrol leader warned the cloaked man, but he muttered in his heart, there is indeed a team of important scientific researchers coming in the past few days, but this matter is confidential, only their dragon clan knows, the other party does not have the breath of dragons, and where did the news come from.

"Don't understand? Then hit until you know! The young man rushed out, his figure disappeared from everyone's field of vision, and the next second, he appeared behind a patrol member, and the dagger flashed red, piercing the throat of the team member, "If you don't want to be next, just tell me what you know!" ”

"Alert! Fast! Tell the other patrols to come over! Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the patrol leader yelled.

The team members took out their communication devices one after another, trying to get in touch with other patrols, but all that came out of the communication devices was the annoying noise of electricity.

"Don't bother! If you don't say it, none of you will be able to leave! The dragon meat is still delicious! A cloaked man blocked the door of the bar, a hoarse female voice with a greedy chill, her palm spread out, and a small white ball floating in the palm of her hand, with a little red light on it, and a black viper pattern.

'Jamming device?' A product of the Serpent of Eden? You're the rebels of the Black Rose family! The patrol leader faded into a dragonman in armor with brown scales and beautiful blond hair on his head, "All! Kill! None of those present remained! ”

The remaining three patrol members immediately revealed their hideous nature.
