Demon Laws
Chapter 35: The World of Three People

“Listen.” Dewey turned around and looked at the ice beautiful woman coldly. “I think you need to know our condition now. We're on a deserted island with no food or drink. Did you know that the rhizome you ate earlier was the ration that Vivian kept today? Did you know that I went around all morning to get that little bit of food? While you? You just sit down and spend your brother's rations. You don't feel guilty nor ungrateful, can only complain. I'm telling you, if you feel less full, find your own food! Hope you don't take someone else's ration again tomorrow. There are no nobles here. You, me, Vivian, it's not all. No one will serve you!”

Dewey's disrespectful expression obviously made the ice-cold beauty angry, Dewey's nagging also humiliated him.

But…. The ice beautiful lady looked at the serious-looking Dewey and she could not argue. He could obviously kick this skinny, weak young man, but the ice-cold beauty felt guilty when facing her scolding. Yes, guilty! He didn't even dare to look Dewey in the eye.

For the first time in life, this ice beauty felt herself unable to refute when being groomed impolitely. The gaze of this weak youth was so calm and cold. Under the night sky, his weak body was like a huge tree.

“A-I know. I-I accidentally ate Vivian's food. Me...” The ice beauty suddenly realized that her tone was so weak that it was nothing like her.

Why should I bow to this child?

Dewey smiled and looked at the sky.

The fog had not faded away so the stars in the sky were nowhere to be seen.

Dewey sighed. “Sleep, there are many things we have to do tomorrow.”

He added some tree branches to the fire, then saw Vivian who was sitting down and did not dare to make a sound, Dewey's heart softened. He reflexively reached out to pat Vivian on the head, his tone softened. “Little stupid girl, are you hungry?”

Vivian was stunned, then shook her head, but then nodded in embarrassment.

“Sorry, I am the only man here, I should have taken care of you.” Dewey smiled bitterly. “Unfortunately I let you hungry. Hm, just like this. Get some sleep, you can imagine that this island is a big piece of cake and the trees around are candles stuck on the cake. You lie on a big, sweet, sweet cake. Sleep, you can eat it in the dream.”

A cake? Vivian's eyes sparkled.

Dewey had turned his body around, but Vivian was still staring at his back.

Dewey wakes up in the morning.

More precisely, he woke up hungry. Yesterday he ate only a little bit of bad fruit, his stomach was almost a hole. The fruit is sour and rough, plus stomach acid, Dewey tormented throughout the night resulting in sleep deprivation.

When he woke up, he found that the ice beauty was also awake, sitting daydreaming while holding her stomach.

“Awake up? Hungry?” Dewey felt his words were a bit harsh last night. However, this woman does not know the conditions on this island. Dewey's tone became a little more friendly.

“Not hungry.” The ice beautiful woman shook her head. He's clearly lying. After thinking, he said, “Where is there water? I'm going to wash my face.”

“Walk briefly to the outside, you can already see the sea.”

“You told me to wash my face with sea water?” Ice beautiful woman widens eyes.

“Sorry, our fresh water is very little, can only be for drinking.”

This time the ice beauty did not argue, only sighed, then stood up and walked towards the edge of the sea.

In the morning, Dewey again went in search of food. He spent more time this time as one person increased. He brought another handful of rhizomes of plants.

This time the ice beautiful lady picked it up and ate without speaking.

Dewey smiled.

“What?!”

“Actually...” Dewey suddenly felt this woman was no longer so annoying. Judging from his behavior now, he was just a grumpy kid. Dewey held back his smile. “Although the food is rather simple, at least you can clean the soil before eating.”

“....”

Seeing this woman's countenance darken again, Dewey immediately shifted the topic. “Now we're stuck here means friend of fate. I don't know your name yet.”

After that, Dewey stood up and greeted the noble standard, then smiled. “I Dewey Rollin, eldest son of Earl Raymond, current head of the Rollin family as well as deputy high command of the empire.”

The ice beautiful lady looked doubtful, she obviously felt a little reluctant, but she still said, “My name is Joanna.”

Joanna…. Pretty good name.

Seeing that Dewey and her brother were finally not fighting anymore, Vivian immediately added, “Ka-you can also call her Jojo.”

Jojo's…. What a strange name.

“Silence, Vivian!” Joanna called out coldly then saw Dewey at a glance. “Only my parents can call me that. You will die if you dare to call him.”

“Good.” Dewey doesn't care either. “Nona Joanna, we're acquainted. Next is the time to work.”

“Work? What work?”

Dewey's smile disappeared, he said with a serious look. “We have to think of a way to get out of here. There's an idea in my mind.”

“What? Making a raft to go from here?” Joanna frowned and looked at Dewey with a suspicious look. “This is a good idea you think of? You want to sail the sea, take us back to the mainland on a small raft? You must be crazy!”

Dewey laughed and said his guess.

“I feel that the hope is very big. You and Vivian are powerful witches. You can fly away with any device, right? If your magic power still exists, it would have already left this cursed island with the flying technique of the wind element, right?”

“Of course!” Joanna said coldly. “I've left if I can still fly.”

“The problem is here.” Dewey smiled. “You lost magic. But I'm guessing that the reason is not on you, but on this island. I suspect there's a magic restraint here, like a barrier or something like a ban on magic. It most likely has something to do with that monster you saw. So I thought, what is the scope of this magic restraint? Just blanket this island or with a small part of the sea around it? But I guess the scope won't be too broad.”

Joanna finally understood. Without needing Dewey to explain further, he continued his words. “So you're not taking us back to the mainland with a small raft, but just using it to get out of the scope of the magic ban here. After my magic power and Vivian return, we can fly back to the mainland, right?”

“True.” Dewey nodded.

“What if can't?” Joanna frowning. “What if your guess is wrong? I mean, it's possible that Vivian and I were exposed to some kind of magic that our magic power could not recover even if we left this island. Or it can take a few days, even a few months to recover. How about it like that? We can't even fly out of here. With just a small raft, we will definitely die in the middle of the ocean.”

“It's just another way of dying.” Dewey raised an eyebrow. “I can clearly tell you that if we don't leave here, two or three more days we'll starve to death. Although there are many trees on the island, there are very few edible rhizomes. I found that point when I was looking for food. I can't guarantee if tomorrow can still find food.”

“We can catch fish!”

“Haha!” Dewey laughs. “Fishan? Just try! The monster made waves and earthquakes as big as it was yesterday, even if there were fish around this island, they would have escaped.”

Even though Dewey's idea was a bit dangerous, after Joanna thought, she felt Dewey's remarks made sense.

High here can only starve to death, better try luck.

Next is how to make a raft.

They are struggling because they have no tools at all.

In order to make a raft, it should at least have an axe to cut down the tree, right?

Even if there is no axe, the sword can also.

But let alone swords, daggers they have none.

Joanna was a samurai, but her weapon was a flute.

As a swordsman, Joanna also did not have the ability to break trees with her palm.

At first, Dewey thought of Joanna's armor. After all, armor was made of metal. Just take a piece, then sharpen it until it can be used as a knife.

Unfortunately, Dewey had to be disappointed.

Joanna wasn't stingy to share her armor that added magic. But his armor was full of hollow patterns, no piece of iron the size of a palm was intact.

After thinking, Dewey had another idea.

Dragon scales.

Whatever happened to her pet, Vivian still let Dewey pull out some dragon scales.

The dragon scales were extremely hard and powerful. In ancient times, there were even legendary heroes who used dragon scales to create sturdy shields.

Vivian calmed her fire dragon with a bit of magic left. Dewey bravely released the two dragon scales.

Then they spent another day searching for a large stone by the sea, honing the two dragon scales into a sharp knife.

The three men spent another two days working.

Dewey and Joanna cut down some trees, while Vivian was responsible for tying the tree trunks with vines.

Dewey even made some oars from the tree trunk. Then he went looking for some more big retreats. It can not only fill the water, but can also be tied to a raft to add buoyancy.

Finally, Joanna donated her white cape to create the screen.

When everything was almost in order, Vivian suddenly remembered an important thing.

“Ba-ba-how about my dragon?” Poor Vivian suddenly thought of that.

The raft cannot hold a dragon.

In fact, Dewey and Joanna had been thinking about it from the start, but they were hard to tell Vivian.

If Vivian's magic was still normal, she could use magic to wrap her dragon and carry it everywhere. When he wanted to use a dragon, he simply called out to him.

Unfortunately, he had no magic at the moment so was unable to carry his dragon away together.

Dewey and Joanna. They found it hard to answer poor Vivian's question.

Vivian understood and cried. “No! Nah! I-I don't want to leave my Hot Sun! Hot Sun-ku!!!”

He ran there crying, hugging his sleeping dragon and unwilling to let go.

Dewey sighed. Looking at this innocent little girl, Dewey felt guilty.

But what can be done?

They could not carry a dragon of this size.

Moreover, Dewey was unlike any human in this world who regarded dragons as powerful and powerful beings.

Dewey's logic is the most important man. Both dragon and snake, all in category ‘animals’.

Human life is the most important. Sacrificing a human life for an animal is a stupid thing Dewey cannot understand.

Moreover, were it not for appreciating Vivian, Dewey even had the intention to make this large animal a meal.

But if she did that, Vivian would definitely cry to death on the spot.

Even if Vivian does not want to leave her beloved dragon, Dewey and Joanna still take her forcibly.

Dewey was astonished that the fierce lady was being gentle with her sister this time.

“No need to wonder.” Joanna knew Dewey. Just looking at his gaze, he knew what Dewey was thinking. “I also just lost my dragon, so can understand the sadness of this child.”

Dewey caught a look of grief in Joanna's eyes.

The two girls sit on a raft, Dewey pushes the raft into the sea, then jumps to it. Joanna controls the screen, Dewey paddles.

As for the poor little Vivian, after being forcefully brought to the raft by the two people, she shed tears while looking at the small island where her dragon was.

Fortunately, the waves were very small.

But Dewey and Joanna looked tense.

Because they are praying.

Hope they don't meet the monster on the way. The monster could attack the dragon by lurking in the sea. If he were to target them, turning over this raft was an easy matter.

Dewey only wished the two witches could fly after they were some distance away from this small island.

“God Almighty, bless us,” murmured Joanna.

Rowing a raft was a rather heavy thing for a young man as thin as Dewey. But the desire to escape made him persistent. Even though his arm was a bit sore, Dewey persisted.

On sight, they had left the beach at least 200 meters away.

“How are you?” Dewey asked Joanna.

“No, still can't.” Joanna tries to use wind element magic to strengthen the screen work, unfortunately the magic still does not work.

“Try again,” says Dewey gnashed his teeth.

However, the God of this world seemed destined not to bless Dewey.

Right after the raft sailed another 100 meters….

Waves suddenly appeared in the sea, then that terrifying roar sounded again.

Then, under the horrified gazes of the three of them, a four or five meter high wave suddenly rolled up this small raft.

Amidst the big waves, the vines on the raft instantly broke off. The raft broke, and the three of them fell into the water together.

Dewey felt as if there was a force tying him to the sea when he fell.

He was unable to move, and seawater entered his mouth as soon as he opened his mouth. Dewey thought he was going to die. His gaze darkened, a whirlpool swallowed it, pulling it fast.

Dewey felt himself drowning and drowning.
