Chapter 328: Outer Capital Jade Wheel

It was a time of constant strife, and this dark period lasted for nearly half a century. Subsequent history books refer to this era as the 'Old Apocalypse,' an era in which nations continued to expand their territorial power in order to achieve hegemony. It is said that the origin of this series of chaotic world wars was that an ignorant king used 3,000 warships to attack a small island. The story we are going to tell takes place in this era, on the border of the territory of Hanoki at that time.

At this time, the territory of Hwanoka was far from being as vast as it is now, and it was constantly facing invasions from neighboring countries, and the fronts in various places were losing ground one after another. And in such a small city on the northern border, because of the war, many people in the city began to flee this small city. It didn't take long for the flames of war to spread outside the city, where troops were stationed just a few kilometers away, the last line of defense. It is said that if the defensive line here is lost, the enemy army can plunge like a knife into the heart of the capital. The 100,000 troops stationed there have been holding out for months, fending off the enemy's million-strong army. However, as the weather slowly cooled down, the supplies in the rear could not keep up, and the officers and men of the garrison were already facing the biggest crisis. From time to time, undisciplined soldiers have come into the city to loot. The general of the garrison calculated that if this continued, I was afraid that he would not survive the winter, and this place would be lost.

Speaking of this city, the origin can be said, and it is not understood for a while. But if you want to say how small this city is, walking around this city wall can be completed in less than a light of tea. But such a small city has made a big difference in this place. It was not only a necessary place for caravans to pass through, but also a place for these foot travelers to exchange goods and information.

People call this small city that is not desolate 'Outer Capital Jade Wheel', and in the center of this small city, there is such a tall building. This building was supposed to be a symbol of the city, because on a full moon day, you can see from the front of the building that the kissing beast on the ridge of the roof of the building is just stuck in the round moon, like a mirror, pretending to be a full moon building.

Legend has it that this full moon tower is home to a dragon god who is believed in and called the full moon dragon. And the name of this Ryujin-sama is also little known. Merchants who come and go will also come here to worship on the day of the full moon to bless the caravan with a smooth journey. It used to be a big trading center, but now, there are only about 100 people left in the city.

Now look at this tall building, where is it still in the past, the red lacquered wooden pillars have long since decayed, the staircase also looks in disrepair, the creaking on it, even the Waddang has long been dilapidated, and people can't help but sigh. However, from a macro point of view, even though this building is dilapidated, it still has an extraordinary momentum, although it is already a dangerous building.

However, just now, a little girl actually tiptoed into such a dangerous building.

Pushing open the door, the not-so-insignificant movement stirred up the dust, and the light from the outside shone in to form several mottled pillars of light. The little girl fanned the oncoming dust with her hand, and then she was greeted by an empty hall covered with dust. The backlog of dust and cobwebs is enough to show that no one has been here for a long time. The flag was no longer visible in its original color, and the little girl shook it with her hand curiously, and the dust fell like a waterfall, but this slight shaking made a small layer of ash pile on the ground. The little girl was like a curious cat, her eyes searching. fast

She lowered her head and peeked past the decayed curtain only to find that there was a hole in the sky, and the hall behind the rag curtain was much larger than the one in front of her. The little girl was overjoyed, but found that there was a stone platform about one man high by the wall facing this door, and on the stone platform there was such a dragon statue with its body crossed. This made the little girl very happy.

Strange to say, the building was covered with dust, but there was not a trace of dust on the dragon statue. The scales on the dragon's body, which were as white as jade, were clearly visible, and the feathers on its back were lifelike, and it was hard to imagine that jade could be carved into such a delicate shape. It's just that the appearance of this dragon is a little strange, and I don't know what the carver thinks, but he actually buried the head of this dragon under his body, it looks like he is sleeping, and there is still the majesty of a dragon.

The little girl was surprised that she had almost tripped over the bulging tiles as soon as she took a step forward, but when she looked up, she found something unexpected. She rubbed her eyes in disbelief and was convinced that she was not mistaken.

The head of the dragon statue just now was clearly buried under the body, but now it was actually raised. In this way, they looked at each other with their eyes on each other. The dragon's tentacles fluttered, like aquatic plants that swirled with the water. The little girl stood up and took two steps back, lying behind a pillar and watching quietly, while at the same time attracting the attention of the dragon statue.

This dragon statue turned out to be the Full Moon Celestial Dragon

The eyes of the full moon dragon are a kind of arrogance that despises everything, because he didn't put the little girl in front of him in his eyes at all, as a dragon, as a dragon god, and as a eight phantom beasts, he has his own dignity and the capital to despise everything.

On the contrary, it was the little girl, her eyes were more silent, and she was also a little curious in it, and her little head was tilted like a puppy looking at the full moon dragon.

"Hey, are you called Mirage?"
