A day later, the group finally returned to the imperial capital. At this time, the imperial capital is no longer the same as the imperial capital in Ian's memory, as the largest city on the Big 6, the imperial capital has lost the excitement and prosperity of the past, and has been replaced by a state of combat readiness. Along the way, the streets were crowded with refugees, and the guards took black bread and divided them one by one.

"This is simply another [Noah's Line]. Xiu said, "I thought that the situation in the Imperial Capital was better than that of the [Noah's Line], but I didn't expect that there was almost no difference between the two sides. ”

"[Noah's Line] belongs to the front line, but the imperial capital does not necessarily belong to the rear. Nicole motioned for everyone to look at the destroyed city wall on the other side, "Look there, it is obvious that some of the Wyvern species have crossed the [Noah's Line] and are directly attacking the imperial capital." ”

"In other words, the last place of hope for mankind is not safe, right?" Nya pursed her lips, "No matter how this war ends, it is probably no less tragic than the war between the dwarves and our race thousands of years ago. ”

Ian didn't say anything the whole time. just lowered his head and walked silently at the back, until the group stopped, and he almost hit Lao Pu's body. When he raised his head, the old Pu looked serious, and one hand was even on the hilt of the sword.

He looked ahead, and there were two short men with hats blocking their way.

"Take it easy, Elf. One of the short men spoke, "The war between the two clans ended thousands of years ago, and our purpose is not you. ”

Ian felt the sound of vicissitudes familiar to him, until the short man took his hat off and a familiar face appeared in his eyes.

Manhe handed the hat to the other dwarf, walked past the elf, and smiled at Ian, "I haven't seen you in a while, little Ian. ”

Ian didn't expect to meet Manhe, the old patriarch of the dwarven clan, here. After being taken out of the [Ghost Town] by him, he returned to the Dwarf Clan as an elder and helped Ian complete the forging of the [Dragon Cut]. After that, he left the dwarf clan, originally thought that he would never have the opportunity to see Manhe again in his life, but he didn't expect that only half a year later, Manhe actually came to the imperial capital to look for him.

But then again, he didn't expect that Nia and Old Pu would leave the Yarman Forest to help him.

Manhe walked over to Ian, and Old Pu stood in front of Nia, who patted Old Pu on the shoulder and whispered a few words to him before Old Pu hesitated to get out of the way.

"I didn't expect even the Elven Queen to come. Manhe's tone was relaxed, "Ian, you're really well-connected. ”

"I just came here as a good friend. Nia smiled, "Not as the King of the Elves." ”

"Well, our purpose is the same. "I'm here as Ian's best friend, not as a dwarven elder, so in a sense, we're the same kind. ”

Nia was silent for a while, then nodded slightly: "You're right, as you wish." ”

With that, Nia turned sideways, allowing Manhe to come in front of Ian. Manhe noticed the dragon cut on Ian's back and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, the dragon cut is still in your hand." ”

Ian frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I went to the main hall to look for you, and Bowen told me you're dead in Alder. Manhe lowered his voice and said, "I also said that the Dragon Emperor has finally appeared, although I don't know how strong the Dragon Emperor is, but I thought you wouldn't fail." ”

Ian was silent for a while, then slowly shook his head: "[Theocracy] is in its hands, and there is nothing I can do with it?"

"The ultimate power of the Iliad?"

Ian nodded.

"Looks like I'm not wrong. Manhe nodded, "It's a good thing that you didn't really die at the hands of the Dragon Emperor, and you didn't lose the Dragon Cut." When I heard Bowen say you're dead, I really thought I was late. ”

Ian's heart trembled slightly: "What do you mean?"

"I think I might know how to kill the Dragon Emperor. Manhe whispered, "The way to do this is the knife on your back, and you must have felt the power of this knife." But we were all wrong before, it is not yet its final form, you must know that this knife was originally designed to kill gods. ”

Ian was stunned for nearly a minute before he grabbed Manhe's shoulder and hurriedly asked, "What should I do, how can I kill it?"

Because his voice was so loud, it even attracted the attention of the refugees on both sides of the street, who looked at this strange group of people with puzzled faces, after all, the dwarves and elves were quite eye-catching. But Ian didn't care so much at all, even though he had been trying to keep his composure and not let his loss be passed on to anyone else.

But no one was as desperate as he was to kill the Dragon Emperor and kill the nightmare that had tormented him for thirteen years.

"You have to calm down, Ian, it's not easy. Manhe pushed Ian's hand away, "There's a lot of stuff we haven't known before. I think we have to find a place to talk, and that's why I'm here. ”

Manhe's words calmed Ian a little. He knew that what Manhe said was right, and it was useless to be anxious, so he took a deep breath and nodded at Manhe: "You're right, we should find a place to talk." Let's talk about it now, go to me. ”

"As you wish, but before you do that, I think you have to complete one thing first, even if this matter has nothing to do with the Dragon Emperor. ”

Ian frowned, "What else is there to accomplish? What could be more important than hunting Mussolini?"

"Of course. Manhe said calmly, "That's to visit your wife, you've become a father, Ian." In a sense, saving the world and being a good father are the most important things in a man's life. ”
