Menes Empire, Royal Court.

Looking up at the sky from the direction of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the wind blowing high in the sky and the black clouds are thick.

A cold breeze crept through the corridor, blowing the door of the study, clanging, the air currents circled in the study, turning the calendar on the wall, and the white gauze curtains twisted like spirits, like white ghosts dancing.

Suddenly, the wind suddenly increased, gently opened the door of the study, and then closed it with a snap.

After the door of the study was closed, a dark golden fog shadow floated open in the study, and the mirage did not disperse.

The bright light shone down from the ceiling, and the fog and shadow that broke into the study seemed to be dazzling, turning off the light, and blocking the noise and prying eyes of the outside world. In the darkness, the ethereal shadows of the fog gradually became clear, and the scene was like a spirit crossing the surface of the water and leaving the ocean—outlining the silhouette of a tall and toned woman as it went.

“......”

Eventually, the dark golden shadow of the fog dissipated completely, and Gogorella stood in the center of the carpet instead.

At this time, she was wearing a brown leather trench coat and a large-brimmed hat, even though the clothes were looser, but the pair of overly plump twin peaks were still forced to stand out, stretching out a beautiful arc. Slim trousers are worn over the long legs of the golden ratio, and a pair of high-bon boots are below, and the slender ankles are curvy - this outfit with wheat-colored skin gives people a wild and unusual charm.

"Hey!" she called softly as she looked at the figure sitting in the darkness.

It was only then that the clone robot connected to Evan's consciousness raised its head from behind the brown-red desk and looked at her calmly:

"Welcome back. ”

"What's the matter with the rush to call me back? and so mysterious...... Do you want me to sneak into your study without revealing my identity?" asked the dragon girl curiously, taking off the satchel she was carrying.

"I'll tell you about this later...... How many charms have you collected?" Ivan didn't answer directly, but first asked her about the collection of charms.

"All 12 are here!"

Hearing this, Gogoruila immediately raised her chin triumphantly, and then stepped to the desk with an arrow, grabbed the satchel and shook it vigorously, spilling all the octagonal round runes engraved with animal patterns on the table—and then pointed to the patterns on the charms, and introduced them to him one by one:

"These spells are simply amazing! You see, these are electric spells that make the wielder's eyes glow with electric light, these are healing spells that allow the wielder to recover quickly, and this is a separation spell that completely splits the wielder from body to mind...... This is the Destruction Charm that makes the Dragonfire squirt...... This is the life charm that turns the dead into living things, this is ......"

She said the effect of eleven spells in one breath, and then reached out to cover the last charm, and the corners of her mouth rose mysteriously:

"Guess what's the last one?"

"Forehead ......"

Evan was eager to tell her that the Lord had already explained the various uses of the charm, but considering what was going to happen next, he thought it would be better to play stupid with her, at least to make her a little happier for now, so he put on a thoughtful expression.

"Can't guess, right? Hahaha!"

Seeing his puzzled look, the dragon girl immediately raised her eyebrows, as if she had been greatly satisfied, and hugged herself tightly with her excited arms. Then he stopped selling Guanzi, pushed the charm in front of him, and said bluntly:

"It's an immortal charm! Or rather, it's a resurrection spell! It gives the wielder immortality - if you eat it, even if it is burned to ashes, it will return to its original state in a few minutes!"

"Have you tried?" said Ivan looking at her suspiciously.

"I've had others try. Gogorella turned her head, her eyes looking to the left and right in embarrassment.

"Yes, it saves me time of verification. He smiled.

"yes, yes. She nodded repeatedly.

"It's amazing...... The Holy Lord, the Immortal King, has a deep heritage. ”

Looking at the last talisman, while sighing, Evan put away the other eleven talismans, but pushed the immortal talisman back in front of the dragon maiden: "I will return the rest to the Holy Lord, but this one is considered as I borrowed it, you take it first." ”

"Huh!?why!?"

Gogorella looked at him in surprise, her pretty eyes revealing a look of incomprehension.

"I'm going to tell you something important...... Say it beforehand, this matter has something to do with you, but I will not interfere with it! Therefore you must remain calm, if even you mess up, everything on my side will be in vain. Evan looked at her dark golden eyes, his expression gradually became serious, and he said very solemnly.

"Good. ”

Although she didn't know what was going on, seeing his incomparably solemn gaze, the dragon girl couldn't help but nod.

One by one, one by one

Five minutes later.

Dark clouds are rolling at the top of the canopy, and the buildings in the palace are lit up with lights, blending into the deep and mysterious darkness, and the storm seems to be approaching at any moment.

At this time, there was also an eerie silence in the study of the royal court.

"My brother was besieged by the apostles...... No wonder I haven't been able to contact him all this time...... It's no wonder that the Land of Dragons has completely turned into an information black hole. All the questions I asked were only answered by a prevaricating one—I thought my brother was working on a mysterious plan. ”

"Now it seems that before I even noticed anything unusual, it had happened!

"This must be a conspiracy! Brother wouldn't be stupid enough to do that kind of thing...... This is a trap set up to frame him...... It must be like this!"

Gogo Rari leaned against the armrest of the sofa, staring at the void with unfocused, muttering to her colleague, her gaze gradually moving in the direction of Evan, and the moment she looked at him, the dragon girl's gaze suddenly stopped, and her eyes became sharp:

"You...... Are you really willing to help me?"

"What's the point of me lying to you?"

Evan stood up from the high-backed seat, strode up to her, held the dragon girl's face with both hands, and looked at her seriously: "Now almost all the apostles are standing on the opposite side of Bakar, he is almost certain to die, and I can't kill him twice if I lie to you." Moreover, the relationship between the Empire and the Federation is currently completely antagonistic, and even if I am willing to please the Apostles of the Ranks, they will not give me a good face. ”

"Isn't it because they're isolated that we need to please them?" the dragon girl looked up at him suspiciously, her delicate face raised.

"If I want to curry favor with the Federation, I don't need to deal with Bakar at all! I just need to dismantle the Empire and then declare myself to join the Federation, and I will definitely get a very high status. In other words, as long as I don't dismantle the empire, no matter how much I curry favor with the apostles, I can't get out of isolation. Ivan looked at her beautiful dark golden eyes and replied calmly.

"In that case...... How can you help my brother?" asked the dragon girl as the suspicion faded from her eyes.

"I can't help him defeat the apostles, but I can help him escape!"

Evan let go of her face and took a step back, his right hand tilting upward, his gaze on his palm.

With his palm as the center, the void seemed to be thrown into a stone, rippling in a circle, and after the ripples opened, a holographic projection appeared. It was a cylindrical black tower-like building, suspended in the void with heaven and earth, and the surface was concave with large and small grid slots, and the whole looked as if it was made of countless large and small cubes.

"What is this?"

Looking at the holographic projection in his hand, Gogorella's eyes lit up, and her dejected face became a little more angry.

"The dimensional shuttle device is fundamentally different from the space shuttle device. It allowed Bakar to escape the apostles' encirclement and travel to a dimension they couldn't reach. ”

Evan held the Silent City in one hand and placed it in front of the dragon maiden, "This is also the last thing Bakar commissioned me to do, and I have already built it...... But it's useless to stay with me. ”

"You're going to send it to the front line of the war......"

The dragon girl stared at the holographic projection of the Silent City, her pupils trembled violently, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a hint of relief appeared on her delicate face:

"But with your relationship with your brother, it is impossible for all the apostles to trust you and will not give you this opportunity. Unless you also stand on the opposite side of your brother, unless you kill the person the Dragon King cares about the most, so that all the Apostles will believe that the Maker and the Dragon Exploding King will not die!"

"That's the most feasible approach. ”

Ivan clenched his right fist and dispersed the hologram, as if a pitch-black flame was burning in the depths of his pupils: "Don't blame me...... In order to gain the trust of the apostles, Gogorella must die at the hands of the Maker!"

"I understand. ”

Gogo Ruila nodded slightly, her smiling eyes welling up with tears, and her poignant face showed gratitude:

"Thank you. ”

"It's unfair to you, but...... You have to learn to face death. ”

After Ivan said this, he stepped forward directly, stretched out a pair of hands like iron pincers, and grabbed the slender and handsome neck of the dragon girl.

Gurg...... Cluck......

With a series of crunching skeletal whines, Evan grabbed the dragon maiden by the throat and lifted the other couches and over his head, a pin-like glow in his eyes as he controlled the mechanical body to grow in strength.

"Uh......h Woo!"

Gogorea raised her head, her bright eyes rolling whiter, and her lips trembling violently, letting out painful gasps. But he didn't put up any resistance, just silently clenched his fists and waited for death to come.

Click——!

A crisp cracking sound came from between Ivan's hands, and the dragon girl tilted her head weakly, and her clenched fists were released at the same time, hanging limply at her sides.

“......”

Evan closed his eyes and silently let go of his hands, allowing the dragon maiden's lifeless body to fall onto the couch.

There was a long silence, and in the silence the torrential rain fell, flowing like a waterfall along the glass windows behind the curtain.
