"Hero? I've never believed in this. Luo Sijie wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, facing Carl, her attitude was no different from when she faced Ye Gu, that is, a kind of firmness and self-improvement.

Therefore, except for his father Luo Heng, and a few people close to him, in the Fire Empire, a country that is still dominated by men, not many people want to treat her as a girl.

"Believe it or not, we've come to the last step and we're just a stone's throw away from victory. Look, the wooden box on the top of the altar ruins, although I am also amazed by the workmanship of the imperial craftsmen, as long as he is destroyed, Ye Gu, who was used as a sacrifice by the little emperor, will be able to reappear in front of the two of us. Karl said, pointing to the top of the altar.

"Ye Gu?" Hearing this, Luo Sijie couldn't help but get excited in her heart and stood up, "You mean Ye Gu is inside? Quick, take me there, I must see him." ”

Luo Sijie's reaction seemed to be a little unexpected by Carl, after all, in his eyes, although Ye Gu was his friend or even a comrade-in-arms, compared to Long Qing and stopping Long Qing, it was the latter that he should care about at the moment.

"Take me there!" Lousjie shouted as Carl shook him.

"Okay, okay, I'll take you there, Miss Luo. Karl said politely, "But Miss Luo, you shouldn't." Karl said, gesturing at Rossjie's hands tugging at his clothes.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Carl. Luo Sijie apologized a little embarrassed, "I, am I a little excited?"

"It should be, your feelings for Ye Gu must be greater than Long Qing. Karl sighed and walked briskly up the steps.

"How come I haven't paid attention to it? Luo Sijie muttered, shaking her head, trying to clear the distraction that had suddenly gained courage in her heart.

She hadn't experienced the relationship between a man and a woman, and Carl had never experienced any of that. In this seemingly stable, but undercurrent empire, everyone is busy, and they are all tired of living and surviving. Especially at a time when such a big change is about to happen.

Fate would not allow Luo Sijie, nor would Karl and Yegu be concerned about anything other than this country.

Of course, those who have a desire for happiness on their bodies all the time will naturally not care about this.

Now Karl can be 100% sure of one thing, the newly built altar of the little emperor on the ground, if it were not for the drawings of the Lost City, it is impossible to build almost identical.

Although Carl had not personally climbed the altar that opened the dragon's gate on the ground, the altar he was stepping on was slowly ascending, and there was no difference in style and layout.

The remnants of the flickering lights below, the narrow moss-covered staircase that could only fit one person through, the nearly 100 steps, and even the wide platform above, Carl felt nothing out of place except for the sense of age.

But Luo Sijie was different from him, because the ground altar was not open before Long Qing, and Luo Sijie had been staying near the dusty Wu Machinery factory since the first three days of Long Qing, she just had an inexplicable respect and curiosity.

It's pretty heavy, though.

"It's here. Karl said lightly, pointing to a wooden box on the edge of the top of the altar.

That was the one Luo Sijie and Wu Ji could vaguely see on the ground.

"You mean, Yegu...... Ye Gu, he is locked up here?" Luo Sijie asked in disbelief.

The delicate wooden crate of the Imperial craftsmen still maintains the traditional red style of the Empire, as well as the Imperial Dragon Totem that circles around it. But this wooden box doesn't look as huge as expected, and if it was Ye Gu, it wouldn't be nice to be locked inside.

Of course, the premise is that he is still conscious.

"Although I don't know what happened, I was still at the scene when Yegu was arrested. If I had known that it was him who was passing by the second floor at the time, I would have stopped him and even helped him escape. Karl said with some annoyance.

"You, why do you say that?" Luo Sijie asked with some confusion, but still took half a step forward and walked into the wooden box to carefully examine the opening.

"Originally, for this Dragon Realm Stone, I went to the Imperial Warehouse, and I also took Ye Gu to look for the dark source in the palace. But I didn't think that the little emperor would use this artificially created magic source power stone as one of the keys to open the dragon realm. Otherwise, Ye Gu would not have been dragged into such an already inferior game by me. will not rashly choose to assassinate His Majesty. Everyone knew it was a stupid act, but the little emperor didn't seem to trust me and didn't tell me everything. He just said lightly that Ye Gu had become a sacrifice, and everything else could only be guessed. But one thing is not going to change. ”

"Which point?" Luo Sijie continued, stopping the rummaging in her hand and looking at Carl.

"To gain a power, you have to lose something. But for the little emperor, the entire empire is his, and sacrificing two people related to Long Qing is not a price. In other words, only those who have a slight relationship with the dragon clan can use his blood to sacrifice and completely open the two dragon gates of the sky and the ground. Karl said with a slight annoyance.

"Human sacrifice is foolish and terrible. Luo Sijie was also a little angry.

"It's not just human sacrifice. If it is an ancient ritual of the Empire, only human bodies will be needed, while their souls can travel to heaven in search of a better reincarnation. But in exchange for the reappearance of the dragons, not only will humans sacrifice their bodies, but their souls will also be forever bound to the body of the core of the dragons, and they will always suffer from the torment of fire. Carl said, like a first-hand witness.

"So we have to open the box now and let Ye Gu out, right?" Luo Sijie asked, turning her head back again, studying it carefully.

"Yes, it is impossible to summon dragons in the lost city in the sky without the sacrifice. The Dragon Realm Stone is also in my hand, as long as it is not the demonic source power of the flame, place him on the Wind God sculpture in the center of the console, and the remnant soul of the dragon clan entwined with the wind will appear, he will be very weak, as long as he stabs gently, it will completely dissipate. When the time comes, all possible disasters will be defused in advance. Of course, the city that belongs to the wind will also be destroyed and disappear from the legend. Carl explained.

"Sounds like that," Luo Sijie nodded, agreeing, "but I have one more question. ”

"What?"

"Is this your subject? Or what Ye Gu told you, I feel that you have studied this place quite deeply. Of course, I just asked casually, after all, Wu Qi deceived me just now, so I have to be vigilant. "Luo Sijie is very direct.

"Part of the reason is that the Dark Book, which tells more about the dragon family and the dragon realm than any other source combined. On the other hand, I guess I've been here in my dreams. I always have images in my head about this place. Carl smiled.

"Yes, you're a Demon Source Master, you should know. Luo Sijie smiled embarrassedly, lowered her head and continued to fiddle with the wooden box.

Of course, Carl just stood by and watched carefully, and did not step forward to help.

This kind of wooden box with a strong aura of demonic power was also the first time he had seen it.

"Carl, this seems to be a switch. Luo Sijie beckoned to Carl and motioned for him to look at the center of the box.

"Switch?" Karl wondered, crouching down as well, to take a closer look.

But in those totemic drawings that he could understand and those who couldn't understand, he didn't see anything valuable at a glance.

"Look. Luo Sijie or, a faint amount of demonic power flowed out of her right hand, and slapped it towards the center.

Syllable!

A circle of purple light flashed on the chest, and Carl looked very carefully this time, and the center that was slapped by Luo Sijie just now flashed a dim, keyhole-like area.

"Dragon Realm Stone, yes, Dragon Realm Stone. Karl thought of something, took out the Dragon Realm Stone from his bosom, and gently placed it in the center of the wooden box.

Buzz! Buzz!

As if sensing the strong aura of demonic power in the box, the Dragon Realm Stone emitted a rich purple light, constantly flickering outward.

Immediately afterwards, a projection formed by magic appeared in front of the two of them.

"Demon Origin Master, the Demon Source Master of the Empire. Carl shouted, taking a few steps back.

He understands that this is a message that the box has been set up in advance, and whenever someone tries to open it, they must listen to the prompt before taking the next step.

"Do you know him?" Luo Sijie asked, pointing to the figure in the projection.

"I don't remember his name, but I know he served the magic of the Empire. Carl explained.

While the two were discussing, the person who formed the projection coughed dryly twice and spoke about the pre-designed content.

"I don't know if you're friends or foes. But I know that if you didn't have the power of the flames, you wouldn't be able to see that. You don't have to know who I am, and I certainly don't want to know who you are. But as long as he is not sacrificed by someone appointed by the emperor, it means that there is still hope for the empire. The figure spoke, and the head began to become clear.

"Robes, staffs, what a standard. Carl couldn't help but sigh. He had never used a staff, and the Empire had never promoted the habits of the Westerners.

"No one wants a repeat of the war of 500 years ago, just as you and I don't want to get sick again. Fanatical are the majority of the madmen of this empire, but it is true that there are a few of our elites who are sober. Although when you hear this, you must think of this sacrifice, oh, it is Ye Gu, who assassinated His Majesty the Emperor, and he will be released soon. But this is not complete, if it is opened by the people of the empire, then everything will be fine, after all, I can't go against the emperor's will. But this does not mean that there is no way, as long as the dragon aura at the console completely dissipates, the source of the demonic source power of this wooden box will no longer exist. I think it's the wise people who can get this far, but remember, this is only the first step. ”

The figure's voice grew softer and softer, and at the end of the last sentence, it turned into several curling clouds of energy smoke that dissipated in place.

"What does it mean that the dragon aura has dissipated?" Luo Sijie wondered, obviously her research on the power of the demon source was only at a superficial level.

"That's what I just said, destroy the remnants of the dragon clan and completely erase the breath of the dragon clan in the lost city. Carl explained.

"Then what are you waiting for?" Luo Sijie said, and actually carried the wooden box where Ye Gu was in front of Carl in one breath.

Carl looked at it with some surprise, and thought to himself, this is a full fifty or sixty kilograms!

"What, do you have any arrangements?" asked Luo Sijie, as if he didn't feel any discomfort from the heaviness.

"Awesome. Carl couldn't help but admire.

"What did you say?"

"I mean, let's go. Karl said, stepped forward quickly, injected a trace of dark magic source power into the Dragon Realm Stone in his hand, and placed it directly in the center of the stone table on the bulge of the ground.

Rumble!

After a loud bang, the only passage to the console in the underground core was presented to the two of them.

"Now, it's the last step. May the Creator bless us. Karl half prayed, put away the Dragon Realm Stone, and walked straight down.

"The gods will never bless mortals like us. Luo Sijie retorted inwardly, but still followed.

......

The passage to the console area is long, but it is truly single, and there are no pitfalls or other options.

Presumably, when the original wind was built, this place was already the core of the core.

Although it has grown in the dormitory for thousands of years, the area around the console area is already covered with tree roots and dry vines, and even the stone platform in the center of the control room not far away is covered with stagnant water and weeds growing in it.

But Carl seemed unusually excited, holding the Dragon Realm Stone in his hand, laughing, as if he had been reunited after a long absence, and quickly ran to the iconic control stone platform in the center.

The stagnant water and plants, even as if welcoming their masters, consciously retreated to the sides, and no one seemed to stop him from summoning the remnants of the dragon and becoming what he called a hero to avoid the catastrophe of the Empire.

However!

From the darkness beside him, a short sword, with the sound of wind and fire, galloped towards his chest.
