The Dragon Ruins Tower, and even the Dragon Ruins themselves, are forbidden areas for the commoners of the empire and even ordinary officials.

Because of this, around the dragon ruins of the Southern Capital, a large number of Southern Capital soldiers are still deployed, stationed at the junction of desolation and verdant.

"The identity of the person who came, the position. The soldier stationed in the Dragon Clan Ruins Tower in Nandu asked Luo Longming, who had stepped off his war horse, in an almost mechanical tone.

"I am the captain of the Southern Capital Guard, Luo Longming, and behind me are Miss Luo Sijie of the Luo family and Lord Ye Gu of the Imperial Capital. Luo Longming said, handing the two tokens in his hand to the soldier in front of him.

One of these pieces was Luo Longming's own, while the other piece was prepared by Ye Gu in advance according to his requirements. The token in his hand was the one he had carried with him since he left the imperial capital, and it belonged to the same piece that he had ordered to Ringu when he arrived in Gubin City.

"There is no problem, hurry up, we still have business. Seeing the soldier flipping the token over and over again, Luo Long looked a little impatient.

At this time, it was the middle of the hottest month of the Flame Empire, and the scorching sun in the sky was like a raging flame, constantly scorching the desolate land of the southern capital. It's just been half a morning, Luo Longming's whole body has already been soaked, if it weren't for the guards soldiers with good physical fitness, I am afraid that he would have been physically exhausted and in a state of lack of water.

Finally, after what seemed like a long number of centuries, the soldiers guarding the ruins tower returned the token to Luo Longming, saluted the imperial army, and together with another soldier, opened the door of the two-person ruin tower.

Squeak!

As the two soldiers slammed the gate open, a burst of dust and an unknown chill gushed out from inside the door like a spring that had been pent up for a long time. It also made Luo Longming feel the short-term coolness in the scorching sun.

But this coolness can only last for this moment. As Ye Gu and Luo Sijie stepped off the open-top carriage in the style of Luojia Naxi one after another, he had to reluctantly step aside, respectfully making way for the two.

When the gate closed again and with his unskilled methods, a wave of heat rose again around Luo Longming. Although the temperature still did not change much, the feeling of heat again after experiencing the coolness really brought him a feeling of extreme discomfort.

Simply, he took off all the armor and military uniforms he had put on temporarily, to soothe the hot physical sensations.

Inside the Dragon Ruins Tower.

"My lord, this is the Dragon Relic Tower. Luo Sijie stretched out her hand and swiped around, introducing Ye Gu.

"Ruined Tower, that's what you said I should know. Ye Gu said with a slight disdain.

Although, when he first entered the tower, he still had a lot of interest and desire to know about this dragon ruin, but seeing the dilapidated scene around him and the constant chill made his expectations a little reduced. Moreover, the tower only relied on a little light from the skylight, which made the ruins tower completely in a semi-dark state, which brought him a little depression and made him not want to stay too long.

"Yes, but my lord, I can feel some disdain in your expression, but if your thoughts remain unchanged after listening to the history and structure of this place, then we can leave immediately, and there is no need to stay here too much. ”

"I want to hear about it. Ye Gu said with a smile, in order to alleviate the embarrassment that Luo Sijie's words had brought him just now.

However, I don't know if it was because of the demonic power of the two of them, or because of the chill in this tower, there was not a single bead of sweat on the foreheads of the two of them at the moment, which was completely opposite to the state of Luo Longming and the other soldiers outside.

This small difference does not attract the attention of the two future "big shots", but the fate revealed by the future of the Ruins Tower is inseparable from the magic source power of the two.

"According to legend, after the end of the Dragon War, when the dragon clan was completely wiped out, the empire set up dragon ruins for various places. These relics sent a large number of Imperial soldiers to ensure peace throughout the Empire. But in Nandu, the situation is different. At least a thousand years ago, the southern capital, together with the imperial capital, belonged to the area where the dragon clan was heavily entrenched. Naturally, a tower needs to be built to suppress and collect the dragons' breath in order to prevent the dragons from finding a place to appear again. Luo Sijie said, using her gentle steps, to the empty center of the ruins tower.

"Didn't the dragons show up?" asked Ye Gu suspiciously.

"What we mean by extermination is actually a kind of exile. Luo Sijie said, walked straight to the stone table and stone bench in the center, stroked the soil on the stone bench with her hand, and invited Ye Gu to sit down.

Seeing Luo Sijie's move, Ye Gu naturally followed up quickly and sat directly on the stone bench.

However, as soon as he sat down, he could feel a kind of demonic power from the depths of his soul, although it was very faint, but it was faintly faint, as if it wanted to convey some message.

"What did you feel, my lord?" Seeing the doubts on Ye Gu's face, Luo Sijie smiled.

"Demonic power? There's even a slight feeling of demonic power here. If it had been seen five hundred years ago, it would have been difficult to feel like this again under such a devastation. You can still feel it here. Ye Gu was surprised.

"That's right. In fact, the remnants of the demonic source power here are the same as those used when the dragons were exiled. With the help of this power that touches the souls of all humans, it is natural that the dragons can also be driven to a plane that is closely connected to our world. It is precisely because of this that the current emperor of the Flame Empire wants to rely on some ancient powers to try to awaken the dragon clan and open the plane to completely reproduce them. Your Excellency, you also know that once the two planes are connected, it will inevitably cause disaster. Luo Sijie said, pointing to the top of the ruins tower.

Following Luo Sijie's hand, Ye Gu realized that only by observing the whole picture of the ruins tower from the bottom up could he take everything into his eyes.

Originally, this relic tower had some similarities with the Southern Capital of the Empire, but for it, when you look up from the bottom, you can only see the walls from the top of the tower downwards and some murals on it. If you remove the stone slabs at the top of the tower, the place where Ye Gu sits is a huge patio.

Along the top, Yegu looked around again. Only then did he realize that the ruins tower was different from most buildings in the empire, its staircase was set up close to the wall, and each floor had only a circular platform around the tower, and the frescoes on the walls beside it. In the gap between the frescoes, windows are open so small that they are almost negligible.

"How many floors does this tower have?" asked Ye Gu, pointing to the platform above.

"It's seven floors. Luo Sijie replied, then got up and walked slowly towards the murals around the first floor.

In the center of the mural on the first floor stands a large map, which has become a little dull with the passage of time from top to bottom.

"It's an imperial map, but it's a little different from what it is now. Ye Gu stepped forward to take a closer look.

This was less than a hundred years after the empire was founded. As you can see, the northern and western regions are not actually controlled by the Empire. Luo Sijie said, pointing to two places outside the picture, and using her finger to draw a general range.

Ye Gu naturally knew that these two pieces were the current Northern Military Division and the Western Territory, which was out of the control of the Empire.

From this large picture, it can be clearly seen that Nanjiang Province, the southern capital where the Luo family is located, the Dark Yuan Province where there are many imperial dragon relics, and the Imperial Capital Province in the central imperial capital, as well as the Plateau Province where the huge snow-capped mountains exist in the southwest.

The appearance of the four capitals and ten provinces of the entire empire is clearly presented in this way.

"Is the first layer only the administrative division of the empire, and what does it have to do with dragons?" Ye Gu wondered.

"The relationship between the imperial family and the dragon, the adults always know, since the adults know, the empire is a bottom here, and from the bottom up, the relationship between the entire dragon clan can be gradually revealed. Luo Sijie said, and in the still dusty ruin tower, she walked in the other direction.

The other direction is the opposite direction of this huge picture, and here is a long picture drawn by someone who does not know why.

"What do you know from this picture? This is the early history of the Empire. Luo Sijie said, following the ring, leading Ye Gu step by step.

"Dragons, humans, and what is this stone?" said Ye Gu, pointing to the man who looked like the human leader in the picture.

"This may be the Spirit Stone of the Flame Empire, the Flame Stone. However, in the history of the Southern Capital, at least three hundred years ago, there was actually a blank space here, and there was no picture. But I don't know when it began, such a pattern was formed. We've been here a few times and seen this image, but we've never fully interpreted it. Luo Sijie said, and stepped aside, flowing out of the space for Ye Gu to take a closer look.

Looking along the picture, Ye Gu found that in addition to the dozens of dense humans on the screen, near the edge, there were two giant dragons, one of which was red all over, like a burning flame, and the other was pitch black, as if he had just experienced an inscrutable darkness.

This blend of red and black is like two opposing sides, I don't know if it conveys a kind of harmony or a kind of opposition.

But from the side, the fate of these two dragons is not the same. There were obvious traces of blood flowing from their bodies, as if they had just been injured.

The red dragon seemed to have lost its life, its wings drooping downward, and the black dragon seemed to be in an angry struggle.

However, Ye Gu looked towards the end of the picture, and he clearly found that at the end, a person who looked like a human leader appeared, but this person pointed his sword at the sky, as if to declare some kind of victory.
