......

Five days before Longqing, the imperial capital of the Imperial Capital Province of the Flame Empire, inside the imperial palace.

As if after a night of perfect preparation, at this time, Yegu was clutching the test firearm that Sray had tested in the warehouse yesterday, and he was wearing the new guard armor provided by Mai Di.

Walking slowly, Ye Gu gently pulled the fire gun from his waist without a superfluous sound.

It was noon in the Flame Empire, and the rest of the Imperial Palace and the Emperor all had the habit of taking a nap, not to mention such a hot summer heat. Under the slightest coolness, the empty and majestic Imperial Palace has sought a moment of refuge for these people who are looking for coolness.

Ye Gu's Imperial Flame Style was mixed with the light but still hard armor of the Central Empire, providing the strongest protection for his every step and every subsequent attack, coupled with the faint heat and constantly flickering Flying Flame Stone on his chest, his hands and whole body continued to seem to be infused with demonic power that did not belong to him.

"Dragon's breath?" Ye Gu secretly guessed.

The flintstone on his chest seemed to give him a sense of smell that he didn't usually use, and the faint smell of blood mixed in the air under the flames, coupled with the exclusive scorching sensation of light and heat, brought him a familiar and unfamiliar aura to the air that was stirred up by the heat wave.

While thinking about it, he had already walked into the pavilion of the corridor near the emperor's bedroom, the pavilion that was large and in line with the imperial bearing, and the hidden grass and trees nearby provided him with a natural shelter.

"Not good, guard. ”

Looking at the guards walking by with steady steps in front of him, Ye Gu said in a low voice and hurriedly jumped into the nearby grass and trees.

Simply, the guard's eyes did not have penetrating magical power, and under the routine patrol, no abnormalities were found.

About a minute or two later, looking at the back of the guards in the distance, Ye Gu barely poked out of the grass and trees, and after confirming his safety a few times, he re-injected a trace of demonic power into the fire gun, and quietly sneaked towards the location of the emperor's bedroom in front of him.

One of the characteristics of the firecrackers made by the Westerners is that if they come into contact with any kind of magic source power, they will have the power under the magic source power and shoot at it. Ye Gu belonged to the blazing flames of the Flame Empire, and under his skillful rolling and avoidance, the fire gun in his hand also emitted an extremely strong flame light.

Fortunately, in the daytime, this light is not comparable to the sun in the sky, which has been burning for hundreds of millions of years as if it will never be extinguished, and it is not noticeable.

In the hidden corner of the palace is a small door that leads to the bedroom of the emperor's bedroom. He has met the little emperor through this many times, and he is also on some secret missions.

For example, to go to the cold country, and for example, to go to some tribes in the north.

For example, the Empire's anti-rebellion activities.

Even, the task of bringing back Ye Mingyuan from Gubin City, and the final explanation before the trip, was also a small door.

Strangely, today this small door is like a dead monster's lair in the night.

Silent and eerie with a hint of mystery.

It's like a trap, and it's like an opportunity.

Under the inadvertent influence of the Flying Flame Stone Demon Source Force, he seemed to see two small doors in front of him.

One leads to life, the other leads to death.

Then, with visual relief, the two small doors merged into one, returning to his familiar scene.

"This time, we must not miss it. Ye Gu cheered himself up, softly pulled the trigger of the firebolt, and was ready to fight at any time.

However, the familiar scene turned out to be like a dream.

In the huge dormitory, except for the little emperor who temporarily enjoyed a breeze rest on the rocking chair, there was not even a single servant in this room that combined Chinese and Western, let alone the little emperor's usual personal guards.

Mobilizing the demonic power of his whole body, Ye Gu stood on tiptoe and walked steadily through the empty room, like the ancient and hidden assassins of the Empire, he tried not to make a sound from his body that he shouldn't have.

Click!

Under the pull of the mechanism again, Ye Gu's fire gun had already resisted the little emperor's head.

He never expected things to go so smoothly, he couldn't even hold back the heart that was frantically pounding in his heart, and the small organ that was responsible for the function of a blood pump was also excited all over his body.

"Poor little emperor, at this time you are still asleep, enjoying the pleasant time of the afternoon, but you don't know that your end is today. Ye Gu whispered, and his left hand also mobilized the magic source power to prevent any possible accidental attack.

"Goodbye, Your Majesty, the world can no longer withstand disaster. ”

Ye Gu said, clenching the mechanism of the fire gun with his fingers, trying to unleash its full power in an instant.

Just as he had expected, the fire bolt shot straight out a distinctly red light, instantly piercing the little emperor's seemingly fragile brain.

However!

Under this blow, the effect that Yegu expected was not obtained.

The light even passed through it softly like a thread and disappeared in an instant.

At this moment, he suddenly felt his hands, his legs, and his whole body, as if they were bound by an indescribable force, and he could not move.

The fear of the unknown befell him in a flash of light.

Ye Gu couldn't struggle, so he had to watch the little emperor spin his head in a flat-angled posture.

Where is the head above the emperor's body, it has completely changed its face!

"Yegu, don't you remember me? Why do you want to point the fire at my head? Don't you want to restore my memories like Karl, the Emperor, and the dragon said? Or do you also want to be the new dragon slayer warrior of the Empire?"

"Mingyuan, why are you!, have you really entered the palace safely?" Ye Gu asked in a panic.

"That's right. I have been sleeping in the Dragon Realm for half a month, and it was my fellow clansmen in the Dragon Realm who sent me back. Do you know what a great thing Your Majesty is doing? You don't understand! There can only be one Flame Empire in this world, and there can only be one emperor in this empire, and he can only be our Majesty. ”

"Have you been brainwashed? Dragons only bring disaster, have you forgotten?"

"Disaster? No, the dragons can only bring strength to the continent. In this era, strength is happiness. No, no matter what era it is, strength represents happiness. Isn't it?" Ye Mingyuan asked, a strange smile that was easily perceptible at the corner of his mouth.

It wasn't like a human expression, but it didn't seem like a dragon's attitude.

"Let's talk about it in Gubin City, we agreed in Guli Town, have you forgotten?" Ye Gu called as hard as he could, trying to recall Ye Mingyuan's sanity.

However, under this seemingly unreal conversation, the smile on the corner of Ye Mingyuan's mouth seemed to be a little stronger.

"Since you want to stop Long Qing so much, then come on, the little emperor you want to assassinate is behind you, you can do it. Ye Mingyuan agitated in a strange high tone.

He stretched out his hand and waved it gently, and the feeling of being completely restrained in Ye Gu's whole body suddenly disappeared, replaced by a sense of ease that he could regain control of his body.

Immediately afterward, he turned around with his fire hammer in his hand, and the familiar, expressionless figure in the emperor's uniform stood even more unrealistically in front of him.

"Go, kill him and you'll have a chance of stopping the dragons, and you'll be able to claim the crown of the Empire. Do you remember? You're also royalty. That's your mission and mission. However, you also have to remember that Darklight has already made all the arrangements in the Empire at the same time. He is the representative of the Light, and after destroying him, you will be left alone to bear the madness of darkness. Ye Mingyuan clinged to Ye Gu's back and whispered.

"Even so, he had to leave this world. Ye Gu said firmly, re-aiming the fire at the little emperor in front of him.

"Once darkness comes, do you resist? or cooperate? Ye Mingyuan asked in an extremely strange tone.

That's my answer. Ye Gu roared, almost using up the demonic source power of his whole body, and violently shot the energy of the fire gun towards the little emperor in front of him.

Silently, that thin ray of light once again pierced the little emperor's head.

But the little emperor who was so real in front of him actually let out a smile similar to Ye Mingyuan, as if he had not been harmed in any way.

"Do you remember the darkness, the darkness that once called to you in your dreams, in the depths of your soul. ”

This sentence, the little emperor in front of him and Ye Mingyuan behind him said it almost at the same time, echoing in front of and behind him like a stereo.

Suddenly, the little emperor in front of him disappeared in front of him as if evaporating, Ye Gu looked back, and Ye Mingyuan's figure also disappeared.

In the huge palace of the emperor's bedroom, he was the only one left in an instant, and there was that strange emptiness.

"What's going on?" said to Ye Gu inwardly, trying to blink his eyes, trying to convince himself of the fact that his vision was wrong.

However, even more bizarre!

The palace, the scenery, and everything he could see in front of him instantly turned into a deep darkness, completely lost between the blackness in front of him.

This black is not a kind of pitch black, but a gorgeous scenery deep in the universe, beyond the earth.

The stars and light also entered his field of vision.

"Where is this?" Ye Gu asked loudly in a panic.

"I am dark, and I am also the choice of your heart. An ethereal voice replied.

"Let me out! Let me out!" Ye Gu struggled to leave.

However, when he looked down, his whole body had been completely enveloped in a dark that exuded an icy aura, leaving only his head to talk to the darkness.

"You answer me two questions, and I'll let you out. Na Dark continued.

"What's the problem?"

"How would you choose between a fairytale paradise and a hellish reality, and if I were to come back into the world, would you choose to embrace or resist?"

After being silent for nearly a minute, Ye Gucai sighed and replied slowly: "I don't know how to choose, this is already beyond the difficulty of the soul. ”

"I think you long for paradise, but you can only accept reality. You resist darkness, but you will embrace Him. As he spoke, a huge hand was formed, which quickly pinched towards Ye Gu's neck.

"Hmm, hmm......" Ye Gu struggled.

"Do you remember? This was your dream!"

"What??" Yegu replied incredulously.

But the power of the giant hand grew deeper and deeper, and finally wiped out his consciousness in the starry sky and darkness.

He only felt that everything in front of him was gradually blurring, but gradually returned to consciousness.

......

......

......

"Ahh

The Flame Empire, the imperial capital of Imperial Capital Province, within the city.

"Brother Ye Gu, what's wrong?"

Seeing that he suddenly woke up from the carriage and shouted Di Yegu, Lin Feng hurriedly helped his body and asked.

"I, I feel like I'm in a dream. Ye Gu gasped in reply, looked around, and pinched his thighs hard.

"Shhhh Yegu shouted.

The pain was so real that he couldn't be wrong, he had come back to reality from his dreams.

It's just that he vaguely feels that the dream seems too real and is not a good hint.

"What kind of dream? You don't dream and forget about business, do you? Lin Feng said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ye Gu hurriedly thought carefully about Sleigh's arrangements in the morning.

Fortunately, I still remember that this is indeed the reality.

"I remember he told us to take a carriage to the merchant hall first, and then told me to hide in a box and wait until we reached the palace to find a chance to sneak in. In the evening, the three of us and Lin Xiaozhan who looked at the wind acted together. He also said that Lin Gu has already contacted your Lin family, and he can participate in Longqing as the ruling party of Tabin City and meet the emperor head-on. After all, Yanfa is dead, and no one knows that he has been to the imperial capital. Ye Gu recalled.
