Chapter 206: The Secret Under the Imperial Capital
Spring is quietly passing away. Today's Ganeman Empire is almost everywhere a scene of greenery, because early summer is coming.
The nights of late spring and early summer were still a little cool, and the gates of the City of Light were closed at this time, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Recently, the defense of the imperial capital has also been extremely strict, after all, the signal from the Warcraft Mountain Range has turned to earthy yellow, which means that the core war zone has been very tight, calling on the entire Garneman Empire to send more troops to the Warcraft Mountain Range to support.
The last group of 3,000 people in the imperial capital had already set off in the afternoon, but it would take a while to reach the Demonic Beast Mountain.
In a huge mansion in the imperial capital, which was extremely hidden, several guards were gathering together and talking in a low voice.
"This time, the Tower of Light turned earthy yellow for the first time in three years, which is really rare, and I don't know what happened to the battle there?"
"Hey, what does this have to do with us, as long as we take care of this courtyard, the monthly honorarium will not be less than a silver coin. Besides, there's Archmagister Angela holding it up, what can it do!"
"That's it, you're thinking too much, we're still lucky, after all, this courtyard hasn't moved for more than ten years, we are already lucky to be able to get such labor, and we don't have to worry about other things!"
"Besides, even if the sky falls, then there is our Holy Light Archbishop on top, where is our turn to worry? Do you see those nobles in the city, the war with the demons has broken out for more than three years, and their daily lives have changed? Isn't it still the same wine and meat?"
"That's right!"
A few people quickly changed the topic, saying that the Xiangyan tavern on the opposite street had recruited a few beautiful stunners, and their buttocks kept twisting, which made people can't help but drool when they see it.
It didn't take long for the men to let out a burst of debauched sinister laughter.
At that moment, a man wearing a black cloak and a hood on his head walked into the courtyard, the hood covering the upper half of his face, and the lower half of his face, which was completely covered by the mask.
After the masked man walked in, the guards who were still talking about meat jokes hurriedly stopped talking, and then returned to their respective positions, standing upright.
"Click, click, click!"
The mysterious man with a black cape, wearing a mask, wearing a pair of shoes made of metal soles, walked with a loud noise, and slowly walked towards the center of the courtyard.
There, there was a staircase that swirled underground, and when viewed from above, it was pitch black below, and nothing could be seen at all.
The masked man looked down, then turned back to the guards, and asked, "Is there any movement down there today?"
One of the leaders of the guards took two steps forward, bowed respectfully to the mysterious man, and said, "Mr. Andre Yale, we haven't heard anything unusual all day today. ”
The mysterious man named Andre nodded, and then said, "Very good, you guys are waiting up there, I'll go down and have a look!"
"Yes!"
With that, the man in black began to walk down the stairs.
If Dylan were here, he would have rushed at this mysterious man in a rage, because this man's name was Andre Yale, and he was the traitor of the Arcane Brotherhood!
André walked down the stairs, his heavy shoes on the ground, making a "click" sound that echoed between the circular walls, making people shudder to listen to it.
A spiral staircase, every five or six meters, there will be a torch above the wall. It stands to reason that there should be no wind blowing down here, but the flames above the torches are constantly flickering, which makes people feel a chill.
By the time Andre reached the bottom of the stairs, he could already feel a strong chill sweep over his body.
The space below has increased significantly, becoming extremely wide, and there is an eerie feeling of emptiness.
He exhaled a little nervously, only to find a burst of white vapor wafting from his mouth.
Not far in front of him, there was a huge iron bar, and it was pitch black inside, and it was completely impossible to see from it.
The gate cast by the iron bars was seventy or eighty meters high and hundreds of meters wide. Bursts of strange golden runes emanated from the iron bar, apparently forbidden to them.
Moreover, the material used to build this iron gate is extremely rare lava black iron, which is said to have been transported from the Dwarven Empire more than ten years ago, and cost the empire a lot of money.
Hundreds of tons of lava black iron were used to build this massive iron gate, and thousands of Imperial foundries were mobilized. The ancient rune on it was also set by Archbishop of the Holy Light himself.
Andre looked at the huge iron gate in front of him, and was a little angry in his heart: "Death is dead, and it has to be locked in such a big iron cage, and I don't know what the archbishop thinks, and let me take care of it." If you keep spending it here, you won't have a chance to get ahead at all, and you'll waste a lot of good time!"
Thinking of this, the anger in Andre's heart was even worse, he snorted coldly, and then slowly walked towards the edge of the iron gate.
The bars were wide enough to be drilled into. But after so many years, except for the Holy Light Archbishop, no one has ever dared to take half a step into it.
Andre came to the iron railing, looking at the golden runes that kept appearing in front of him, and felt a little helpless.
"Every other month, the archbishop asks me to come and check on the situation here, and every time I have to walk in front of the iron gate? Is it necessary? This thing is so big, if there is really any movement, it is estimated that the entire city of light will notice it immediately!"
He took out a Fire Demon Stone from his bosom, which was a support item created by a high-level fire mage, mainly for night lighting.
Andrei threw the magic stone, which didn't look much different from a normal stone, into it.
The ground inside the iron cage was even more than ten meters lower, and the magic stones continued to fall in the dark, and it didn't take long to hear the sound of falling to the ground.
The moment the magic stone hit the ground, a strong fire burst out!
The firelight soon illuminated the scene in the cave, and André looked inside, only to see a huge dragon's mouth revealed under the firelight.
The edge of the dragon's mouth, sharp and terrifying teeth lined up, refracted bursts of cold light in the firelight.
Seeing that the light of the fire was extremely stable and did not seem to fluctuate much, Andre let out a long breath.
"It's been dead for so many years, how can this big guy be resurrected for no reason!" Andre comforted himself.
At this moment, the eager shouts of the leader of the guards came from above, which startled Andrei.
"Bastard, can't you wait for me to go up!" Andre wanted to give the guard a big slap!
But he heard the leader of the guards shouting, "Mr. Andrew, someone has come to deliver a message, saying that the Tower of Light has turned red!"
"What!" Andre was shocked, and hurriedly walked up.
Unbeknownst to him, not long after he left, the flame of the Fire Demon Stone suddenly shook and then extinguished instantly!
