The downpour in the imperial capital fell for six hours, and only gradually stopped at seven o'clock in the evening when the sun was about to dissipate.

After this small battle was over, both Yegu and Lingu retained the lingering smell of blood in their mouths. Ringu was injured because of the collision of demonic power, but this was not the case with Ye Gu.

Walking slowly from the edge of the imperial capital's sprawling city, the two of them finally walked from the slum on one side to the slum on the other side in a straight line.

Fortunately, in such a rainy weather, neither the soldiers of the New Guard nor the army that normally maintains law and order in the imperial capital will choose to patrol the streets at this time. Generally, shops in the imperial capital will not choose to put their stalls outside at this time.

Even in this day, which was only seven days away from Longqing, because of this heavy rain, the imperial capital was extremely deserted.

"You're a Dark Demon Source Master, right?" asked Ye Gu.

Having just killed the Empire's Deep Blue Leader, Yanfa, and being targeted by them, Yegu had to pull his hat down a little more to ensure that not many people would recognize him.

After all, he belonged to the aristocracy, and not many people who had been in contact with the poor for a long time would come into contact with him, and it was not a wrong decision to continue to follow Ringu to the ghetto.

"Well, yes. Lin Gu replied with a frown.

In the battle just now, Ye Gu exuded the aura of the dragon clan, which was actually not enough to surprise him. After all, under this kind of Longqing's big move, it is normal for individual nobles to have power related to the dragon clan.

But Ye Gu obviously only had two breaths in his body, flame and light, but Lin Gu felt the replenishment of the dark demonic source power, which was indeed not a normal thing.

The little details that he didn't notice during the battle also flashed back in Ringu's brain. Just as suspicious as he was in the double illusion, he entered this state again.

"What do you mean by the relationship between light and darkness?" asked Ye Gu after a few seconds of hesitation.

"Light and darkness?" Ringu thought for a moment before replying, "They are all forces born from the depths of the universe, and they have always been the power of other attributes. However, due to various reasons in the ancient period of the mainland, the two of them have become an antagonistic and mutually restrained existence. ”

"Well, I can feel that. Ye Gu said.

"But if their power is too great, they will create illusions when they come into contact with each other. In fact, there is no illusion, every dark demon source master will create it to a greater or lesser extent, but what is really terrifying is not a simple illusion. ”

"What could that be?" Ye Gu wondered.

"Double illusions. Lin Gu said lightly, but the fear in his tone could not be concealed at all.

"Double Illusion, is it another layer to the illusion?" Ye Gu continued.

"It's a bit complicated to say. Ringu said and pointed to a small house not far away, "It's here ahead, I'll explain it to you when I get there." ”

While the two were talking, the heavy rain in the imperial capital stopped completely, and at this special moment of dusk, because the dark clouds completely dispersed, in the slum area of the imperial capital, where there were no walls and small buildings, you could easily see the picture of the sunset far away.

Under the light of the setting sun, Ye Gu and the two still walked slowly into another house in the slum that belonged to Lin Gu.

"Sit down. ”

After opening the small door of the house, Lin Gu skillfully took out a match, easily lit the lonely oil lamp on the table, and motioned for Ye Gu to sit down and rest.

After the sun has completely set, this light of the oil lamp will be the only light in the whole small room.

"Why don't you move on to the double illusion first. Ye Gu sat on the wooden stool that was already a little blackened, and asked with a slightly soothing breath.

"The double illusion used to exist only in legends and books, but in this Tanihama City, I experienced it myself. Ringu said, unconsciously lowering his voice.

"Did you go in? What happens when you go in?"

"I did go in, and it is written in ancient books and histories that those who entered the double illusion were either abandoned there or walked out at the cost of half their souls. Ringu said, also feeling a little afraid.

"Then how did you get out?" Ye Gu continued.

"Well, it's hard to say. ”

"Why?"

"I entered a double fantasy world, as if someone could write a script, guiding me step by step to the end before I barely came out. Ringu replied.

"Script?" Ye Gu said in surprise.

"That's right, it's like a script. I experienced a double illusion, the first time was the Dark Palace, the second was the dueling arena, the third was the northern realm, and finally after all of them, I met the characters that the last illusion wanted me to see. ”

"The last person? Who's that?"

"The founding emperor of the Flame Empire, Yanjun. Also, I'll give you one more thing. Ringu said, getting up and walking to a small room behind him.

After a while, he walked out again, carrying a black ball in his hand.

"What is this?" Ye Gu reached out and grabbed it, examining it carefully.

"I've had three of these orbs in the double illusion I've experienced. They belong to power, desire, and persistence, respectively. The ball in your hand is the ball of perseverance that sent me out of the double illusion at the last moment. Originally, he could be huge enough to be about a dozen meters in size, but when he sent me to the slums of the imperial capital, he was only so big. Ringu explained.

"But I still don't quite understand why there is still power, desire, and ...... if the dual illusion imprisons or drains people's souls."

"Hold on. Ringu added.

"Persistence doesn't sound like a constraint, it's more like a test. Ye Gu said as he put Yuanqiu back on the table.

"I think so too, maybe it has something to do with one person. ”

"Who is it?"

"Yan Sheng. Lin Gu said, but there was a complicated emotion in his eyes.

"Yan Sheng, it should be the imperial family, I've heard his name, but I haven't seen it a few times. I don't think I have any presence in the Military Pavilion or His Majesty's side. ”

"But he knows the secrets that belong to the royal family of the Flame Empire, and it is because he was granted the power of dragon light by the emperor that he has led us all into the double illusion. Ringu said.

"Is it a secret? It's just that the Imperial Imperial Family has some dragon blood. Ye Gu said lightly, after all, he also belonged to the royal family.

"And that's not all. ”

"What else?" Ye Gu wondered.

"Half of the dragon bloodline of the imperial royal family belongs to the combination of Yanjun and the dragon. Lin Gu replied, without using a more explicit description, knowing that Ye Gu could understand the meaning.

"Since this is the case, Your Majesty wants to release the dragon clan again, and there may be this part of the reason. Ye Gu guessed, but he didn't show a more surprised expression.

After all, for the history of the former empire and the history of the dragon clan, this little thing of the imperial royal family was obviously not enough to make him feel how shocked.

"In this way, in fact, I also feel that the double illusion related to the imperial family is a test for me. Moreover, Yan Jun in the illusion did not support Long Qing. In other words, he doesn't support the Empire's re-release of the Dragons. ”

"So, in fact, from the whole empire, or people related to the empire, there are actually many people who don't support Long Qing?" Ye Gu analyzed.

"That's right, even the little remnant of the soul left by the founder of the royal family does not support it, so it can be seen that he has only brought disaster. ”

"Could this kind of disaster be that after Long Qing releases the light of the dragon clan, it will also induce the darkness buried in the depths of the empire, which will cause the two to come into contact and cause a disaster?"

"Even if it's not contact, but cooperation can be a disaster. It's like the war between humans and dragons five hundred years ago. Ringu sighed as he spoke, tilting his head back and leaning back in his chair.

"So according to you, stopping Long Qing is actually preventing the contact between light and darkness, no matter what form it takes, right? Ye Gu said.

But he didn't tell Ringu about the dark dreams he had on the train from the Southern Capital to the Imperial Capital.

He knew that Luo Sijie was the one who would fight alongside him, his magic power did not belong to light and darkness, and his trust in her was significantly higher than that of Lin Gu. After all, Lin Gu belongs to the Dark Demon Source Master, and this kind of dream told to him may bring unnecessary trouble.

In fact, as long as it is determined that it is an ally, everything in the details will seem insignificant.

"That's right, stopping Long Qing is the only way to stop the reappearance of the darkness caused by the reappearance of the dragon clan. Light and darkness never appear alone, where there is light, there must be darkness, and where there is darkness, there must be no light. Perhaps my encounter with Yan Sheng, as well as with you, a person with a little dragon light, confirms a truth. Ringu replied.

"So, we're staunch allies?" Ye Gu asked with a smile.

"Yes, we are staunch allies in every sense of the word. Ringu smiled as well and held out his hand.

After shaking hands from the heart, Ye Gu and Lin Gu sat back down.

After the summer rain in the imperial capital, the chirping of insects in this suburban-like slum is particularly harsh. Fortunately, in addition to this sound, there were no more hits from the boots of the Imperial Capital soldiers at night.

This proves that the death of Yan Fa did not make the emperor notice it for the first time, and for Long Qing seven days later, they added some time and concealment.

"In this case, I plan to build a squad to fight against Long Qing. Regardless of whether the Luo family and the other members of the royal family cooperate in the end or not, this team will belong to a sharp knife that will directly stab at the core little emperor of Longqing this time. Ye Gu looked at Lin Gu's eyes and said firmly.

"I'd love to join, and I'll be recommending one more person to you. Ringu was equally adamant.

"Who?"

"You know, the same dark demon master as me, the Westerner Karl. ”
