Volume 1 Dragon Death Chapter 18 To Tanihama
Under the orders of the Minor Emperor of the Flame Empire, the purge of traitors within the empire began from the top.
After going to the Empire's avenue from the western interior, Ye Mingyuan and Carl took the train from the western realm to the central part of the Flame Empire.
At this time in the Flame Empire, the use of horses was much less than it had been fifty years ago. More and more work is being done by other human technologies, but war horses are still used in large quantities only for war.
The Empire's train is still running, just like the trains all over the country, Ye Mingyuan and Carl are still riding the special train of the Flame Empire. In addition to the wealthy, there were also imperial officials and people related to the empire. Since the birth of the train, within ten years, the Flame Empire has been full of special lines.
On the one hand, it is to facilitate the movement of materials and troops from all over the empire, and on the other hand, it heralds the end of the age of magic and the advent of the age of technology.
Ye Mingyuan and Carl were on the train at this time, and the position they were sitting in was not special, just in the middle of the crowd.
The train kept passing through the land of the Fire Empire, and the crowd around it was very lively, Ye Mingyuan knew that this kind of excitement was what they needed.
"You got the two of us here to take the car, do you have your purpose?" Ye Mingyuan asked Carl on the other side, and at the same time, began to relax his body. Indeed, although there are many train lines in the Empire, there is only one train that reaches the West, and the departure point of the train in the West is still a long way from Shangbang City. In the past two days, Ye Mingyuan and Carl have been on foot.
"Do you know Gubin City, the central important town of the Flame Empire?" Karl asked rhetorically, and after getting Ye Mingyuan's negative answer, he began to introduce the history of the city.
"There are three long rivers in the territory of the Flame Empire from west to east, one of which is called the Valley River, which originates in the valley in the western part of the Empire, hence its name. And the middle and lower reaches of the valley river are the battleground of the empire, and the center of the state is the city of Gubin. In this city by the river, there are a few people we are looking for, and with their help we can reach the imperial capital quietly. And only when we arrive at the imperial capital can we have the possibility of taking the next step. ”
"Who are we looking for?" Ye Mingyuan asked bluntly, he didn't care about Carl's introduction to Gu Bin, nor did he care about the situation of the empire here, he only cared about the person he was looking for.
"This person, you know, is the current leader of the Imperial Guard-Yegu. Hearing Ye Gu's name, Ye Mingyuan was a little surprised, and this surprise quickly turned into a worry. Ye Mingyuan knew that the action he was about to carry out was to touch the internal core of the Flame Empire, which was very dangerous, but if more people he knew were added to the danger, it would be an immoral act.
"Why him? I don't want him to act with us. Ye Mingyuan directly said his thoughts. However, Carl was not angry, nor was he in a hurry to oppose Ye Mingyuan.
"If there is no Ye Gu, it will be difficult for us to enter the imperial capital during the time of Longqing. Because, at the time of Longqing, the imperial capital would be completely closed to the outside world except for the people who had lived for a long time. Except for the rituals and celebrations, we don't get any news. If this is the case, we have no information about what the little emperor wants to do, and as for the whereabouts of the Yanding Stone of the Flame Empire, we have no way to guess. ”
Hearing Yan Dingshi, Ye Mingyuan did not continue to object. Ye Mingyuan and Carl both knew what Yan Dingshi meant to their king. Ye Mingyuan also knew that if it weren't for the collapse of the Western Empire, their king would still be sealed at this moment, unable to make any effective help to their actions.
The two-day walk did make Ye Mingyuan and Carl feel extremely tired. Soon, under the rumble of the train, Ye Mingyuan gradually fell asleep in his seat. Carl wasn't sleepy, and his magical power kept him awake during this time.
Carl thought that his position within the Flame Empire and the large number of rumbling trains could keep him out of some danger for a while. But the danger was not as he predicted, around him, creeping in.
In the inconspicuous corner of the train, there were two people standing at this time, their voices were very low, mixed with the sound of the train, and it was difficult for the people around them to notice them.
"The emperor has ordered to purge the empire of traitors. According to our information, Executive Karl is here, you must keep an eye on him, and the kid next to him, I'll get out of the car and get ready. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
After a brief order, the two men went to the other carriages of the train, and the person who received the order sat down in the corner of the carriage where Carl was, staring at Carl closely.
On top of the train, in the midst of this rumble, Carl's mind gradually returned to two years ago.
The Flame Empire, among the imperial capitals.
"Why the hell, I always feel that the recent magic source power is a little strange. "It's Karl who speaks, that is, the archon of the Flame Empire and the Demon Source Master. At this time, the place where he was the bottom of the ruling capital of the Flame Empire.
It is also as the Demon Source Master of the Empire that Karl has his own residence in the imperial capital, which once belonged to the library of the Flame Empire.
In the library, Karl can not only learn about the history, military, and even events of the Flame Empire, but also find some information about the power of the demon source from many ancient books.
It was on this day that Carl, who was cultivating against the ancient books, noticed a different feeling.
"I am a dark demon source master, it stands to reason that there should not be other dark demon source power in the imperial capital, but in the past few days, the demon source power inside the imperial capital has increased significantly, which is very unusual. Thinking of this, Carl began to flip through several books in the library that recorded the dark source of magic power, but after a morning of flipping through it, he didn't find more information about the source of magic power. It seems that in the empire, in the imperial capital, someone deliberately hid the information about the dark demonic source power. Suddenly, a chill gradually rose from behind Carl.
"If the power of the dark demon source increases out of thin air, then you can only try to find the source. Carl said to himself, and at the same time, in his mind, a candidate gradually came to his mind. Only that person, he thought, could help him.
