Chapter 222: Where the Dragon Body Is
In the blink of an eye, it was already late at night, the moon had set in the west, and the imperial capital had completely fallen into silence, even the black city where the lights were still lit up was already much deserted at this time.
The night breeze blows, making a loud noise of the thick leaves.
In the endless darkness, a black shadow swept through at an extremely fast speed, constantly shuttling above the rooftops of the imperial capital.
With the help of the cover of night, Dylan quickly touched the huge courtyard in the northwest corner of the imperial capital.
Dylan had already inquired from Prad about the mysterious man in the mask, who would make a round in the middle of the night every time.
And he deliberately chose it in the second half of the night, just to avoid encountering the mysterious man.
Standing outside the walls of that courtyard, using the shadows as a cover, Dylan clung to the wall, wanting to hear what was going on inside.
It stands to reason that with Dylan's insight, the voices in the courtyard should be able to be heard clearly, even the breath of those guards, he can judge it very accurately.
However, after listening carefully, Dylan heard nothing. Apparently, the surroundings of this courtyard were silenced.
Seeing that he couldn't see the situation inside in advance, Dylan could only decide to take a risk and use the vanishing magic to enter it directly.
Dylan flashed to the top of the towering courtyard wall, and then looked down, only to see that in the wide courtyard, there were at least a dozen warriors with a strength of about seven levels.
And in the courtyard, there was nothing but a spiral of stairs that swirled downward.
is such an empty yard, but it needs so many people to guard it, and you can imagine that it is boring.
At this time, it was already more than three o'clock in the morning, which was the most sleepy time for people, although these soldiers were accustomed to being on duty at night, but during this time period, it was inevitable that they would slack off their spirits.
Within five minutes, Dylan had seen seven of the guards yawn, and he saw an opportunity to use the flash to fall into a shadow in the courtyard.
The moment he landed, he also immediately used "disappear" to completely merge his whole person with the night.
Even though Dylan barely made a sound when he landed, one of the guards noticed the slightest abnormality.
The guard looked in Dylan's direction, but didn't notice anything unusual.
However, the guard didn't let that slacken, and his instincts made him walk slowly in the direction of Dylan.
His unusual behavior quickly attracted the attention of several other guards.
One of them said impatiently: "Hanks, what are you nervous about, it's almost dawn, I was just about to take a nap, and you woke me up!"
The guard named Hanks said angrily, "Thurman, you know how to sleep lazily, and if Master Andre Yale knows, see if he doesn't break your legs!"
Thurman said nonchalantly, "Lord Andre, he has already been here once in the first half of the night, and it is impossible to come here in the second half of the night, you think he likes to come and hang out late at night!
Hanks approached Dylan and said, "Lord Andre, that's the strength of a magister, his mental strength is so strong, where do you need to sleep every day! Do you think he's the same as us! Don't you forget, the last time someone was on duty, he dozed off and was seriously injured on the spot!"
"Ouch, it was all in the middle of the night, when did you see Lord André come over in the middle of the night?" said Thurman, yawning again.
Hanks ignored the guy and took a few steps to be more than a meter in front of Dylan.
Dylan was nervous for a while, if this guy took another step forward, it was estimated that he would probably be aware of Dylan's existence, after all, the two of them were almost attached.
At this moment, a nightingale's cry suddenly sounded from the roof not far away, which startled all the guards, and everyone turned their heads to look and found that it was just a false alarm, and then they breathed a sigh of relief.
Hanks came back to his senses, then continued on, walking to where Dylan had been, and groping around with his hand, but finding nothing.
"Did I really feel wrong?" Hanks muttered under his breath, then slowly retreated back into place with a puzzled expression.
At this time, Dylan had already touched the staircase that rotated downward.
It turned out that he had just used the nightingale's cry to divert the attention of all the guards, and at that moment, he used the "flash" to come to the staircase.
By the time Hanks looked back, Dylan was no longer there.
Dylan couldn't help but feel relieved to see that his whereabouts were not detected, but for the sake of safety, he still did not remove the "vanishing" magic.
"Andre Yale, the damned traitor of the Arcane Brotherhood?" Dylan had a murderous look in his eyes.
For more than three years, he has been searching everywhere for the whereabouts of this traitor. I didn't expect to return to the imperial capital city this time, but I accidentally learned the whereabouts of this traitor, which is really unpredictable!
It's just that Dylan still has important things to do at the moment, and he can't settle accounts with the traitor. When this happens, he must make his traitor pay a terrible price.
He put aside his anger for a moment, and looked towards the stone staircase that winded down, only to see that there was darkness below, and it was difficult to see the scene even with his discernment.
"It's early summer, so it shouldn't be too low, so why is it so cold here?"
Dylan thought to himself as he walked down the stairs.
At this moment, he felt that the "horn of death" on his neck was getting hotter and hotter, and he couldn't help but frown.
In the end, he really couldn't stand the heat, and hurriedly took the "Horn of Death" down.
But at this time, the dragon horn was already red, and it was still emitting bursts of flickering red light.
"It seems that what I'm looking for is indeed here!"
Dylan couldn't help but feel a little anticipation and nervousness in his heart.
He had been worried that if he couldn't complete the dragon Gaia's request in time, he would really be taken by Gaia.
Now that this matter is expected to be completed, Dylan is naturally very happy. With his understanding of the dragon Trupp, even if it really woke up, it wouldn't be able to kill in the future.
As Dylan continued to fall, the temperature around him also dropped sharply, making him shiver several times.
It wasn't long before Dylan finally reached the bottom of the stairs, and he was deeply shocked by what he saw.
In front of him was a huge iron bar, surrounded by ancient golden runes.
The moment he saw this door, Dylan decided in his heart that what he was looking for must be inside this door.
