The Dragon King’s Harem System Chapter 107. The Spooky Town I

Dragon King's Harem Chapter 107. The Spooky Town I

We passed the gate and down that creepy town. Eir and my eyes swept around us, enjoying the town scenery. A little spooky indeed, at least, this town had a lot more to see.

Most of the houses were in a crooked style and dominated by dark paint, either dark purple or black. The oddly shaped windows emitted a dim yellow light, forming scary faces on every house. Black dry trees with so fruit that looked like corpses' body parts, lined up along the streets and filled the houses' courtyards. So yards even filled with those trees, making it look like a slaughterhouse.

So oddly shaped caskets were in front of the houses. Few of them opened and closed on their own as if sothing was trying to get out or going in. A few of them had almost the sa size as a coffin. A pale body part hanging from the gap of the casket made it look like a real one. But it was not what it looked like. The caskets were actually sothing similar to a dog house. The difference was, their pets were not dogs, but Toadrock. It was a ta low-level monster shaped like a big toad with forelegs joined by a pair of wings like a Wyvern. A tail resembling a lizard was behind them and the tip glowed like a firefly, except that their glow was purple. These monsters did not eat at but ate fruit. That was the reason why almost all the houses had that tree.

Those were common pets in this area since Toadrock was very useful in a place like this. The people could use them as watchdogs. If a shadow or death type monster approached, Toadrock could spit out so kind of acid that had a certain sll and glow that could attract the monsters' attention. It could give their master a chance to escape. In addition, its tail provided light in the dark and their masters could use them to pick up fruits or anything from high places since Toadrock was an excellent climber.

'Ha... A better place to rest at last...' I thought as a smile ford on my lips. Rather than the cold wind brushing our faces and hair like in the previous towns and villages, the warr temperatures in this place made the wind feel much friendlier to . It was a nice feeling, considering the cold I had been through these past few days.

But Evelina and Jyne were clearly not enjoying it. They moved their mounts near . Their eyes swept around in fear.

"What's that?" said Jyne in a stamring voice and turned quickly when a noise ca from a Toadrock jumping into his casket.

"Calm down. It's only a Toadrock, Jyne," I reassured her. But her eyes remained fixed on where the voice ca from in caution.

"A-Argod..." This ti Evelina's voice ca from the other side of .

I turned to her. Her face was pale out of fear. Tears were in the corners of her eyes.

"W-What's that?" Her hand pointed at a casket with a pale hand sticking out of it. The hand shook around as if it was calling us to co closer.

"It's just a Toadrock eating in his house, Evelina," I said in a calm tone.

"B-But... What if it's a real corpse? What if it's an undead?" said Jyne in the sa stamring voice.

I chuckled.

"Evelina can detect the undead. She should notice it." Yet she was afraid of this kind of thing.

"Y-Yeah, I-I can detect undead. You don't need to worry, Jyne," Evelina tried to calm her down. A forced smile on her face. Unfortunately, her expression still showed the sa fear.

"B-But, why do you sound scared?" said Jyne doubtfully.

"Detecting the undead and being afraid of this kind of thing are two different things," Evelina said. And it managed to make chuckle.

anwhile Eir lowered his head to suppress his laughter. The sa as any other Dragon tribe he also liked this place more than the previous towns and villages. Also, this scary sight didn't bug him.

"I don't get it are you not afraid of this?" complained Jyne after she noticed Eir and my chuckles.

"Why should we be afraid? We know they are harmless and this is not in the wild, so there are no wild monsters here unless the wall is destroyed," I said.

"What is in this town is simply influenced by the environnt and traditions. Besides, this place is similar to The Undead Tribe's territory," added Eir.

I turned to Eir.

"The Undead tribe's territory is much scarier than this," I explained. I said this based on my mory.

"Are you serious?" said Eir in surprise. While my words managed to make Evelina and Jyne's faces even paler.

"I'm serious. Also, dark clouds and fog usually cover so of their territories. And the underworld is worse than that," I inford.

"I'll never go there..." Evelina shuddered.

"Uh... Who would want to visit that place if they don't need anything important there?" Jyne added.

While Eir thought of sothing else.

"But I found it quite interesting. Maybe I should check it out soday," he said.

Jyne and Evelina turned to Eir at the sa ti.

"You're kidding, right?" they said in unison.

It startled Eir and made an awkward smile on his lips.

"I'm serious."

"Jyne, Evelina, dragons aren't afraid of the undead. Besides, what's the difference between them and us?" I asked. The one thing that scared us was if one day our tribe fell and we lost our pride as The Dragon Tribe. But things like ghosts, undead, demons and evil spirits didn't bug us at all.

"Of course it's different. Their original form is weirder than ours," said Jyne with a frown.

"My original form is also different from my humanoid form," I reminded them. I could still rember when she thought I would eat her.

"The Dragon Tribe's true form has a different definition of scary from them," said Evelina.

"What sets us apart?" I asked.

Jyne and Evelina pressed their lips. They looked confused about how to explain it.

"It's different for sure. But I can't explain it," said Evelina.

"Is it because both of you love Sir Ar?" Eir guessed.

"Maybe that's one of them, but we're not afraid of you either," said Jyne with a confident smile.

"If one day you turn violent and I have to fight you, I will gladly do it. But those undead..." She shuddered.

"I will run away even if he is weaker than ."

Eir looked at the two of them in confusion.

"I don't get it. That's a double standard."

Well, even though I couldn't understand it either, I knew this was the sa as most girls' fear of insects and rats.

"We are here," I said. My hand pointed to a black building in the distance.

All of them turned to where I was pointing.

"Sir Ar... You must be kidding ..." whined Jyne.
