The night was finally over. The rising sun looked as white and fat as a snowball under the cover of a few remaining clouds. Since it was winter, it felt like a cold light was shining in the early morning. The three of them left the area.
The woods that were still thrilling last night were heading towards the floating city. Now the castle looks almost like a strange place, with walls and towers
There were soldiers patrolling everywhere, just like a large luxury prison. Byron had already prepared the transformation magic potion provided by Ruona this time, but since they secretly sneaked into the palace last time, Pa
Ersa must be on guard. He wondered if Parsa would develop some new magic to counter reconnaissance.
The three of them came to the city gate. Due to the tense war, in order to prevent the enemy's spies from infiltrating, the Holy Light Barrier in the floating city was always open. Parsa's strategy was to have the city defenders check the people entering and leaving the city gate in batches, and then
They gathered together to close the barrier at a unified time and let everyone in and out. The soldiers stamped the ground with their spears and asked Byron and the three of them to take off their cloaks.
"Listen to me, people entering the city. Open your luggage and let the soldiers check it. Everyone except children must be searched." The leader, the three of them are familiar with each other, is the Knights of the Golden Dragon.
Infantry commander Burton. It seems that after becoming the regiment leader, he still had a low status, and he even personally took charge of the investigation. Byron looked at this situation and just sighed.
The temporary camp where people entering the city gather is near the city gate. It is just a wooden shed made of straw and wooden poles. Although it is a bit crude, it is still spacious enough. The wooden shed is filled with all kinds of people preparing to enter the city.
.Due to the large number of people, Joshua felt a little hot and cold.
The cold weather was in sharp contrast. Joshua carefully observed the furnishings in the wooden shed and found that there was also a simple fireplace made of bricks and tiles, with only black ashes and dying embers left in it. It seemed that at night
When there are few passers-by, patrolling soldiers will light fires here to keep warm.
The sunlight gradually became abundant, shining on the Holy Light Barrier. Everything else under the city wall was covered in shadow... The clusters of ice crystals hanging on the city wall gradually melted under the sunlight. Several pale giants
The crow was squatting on the wall, its feathers messy. It was the first time Joshua had seen such a big crow, bigger than the falcon in the floating city. The cold winter weather made them try hard to stay under the sun.
The white feathers glow silver in the sunlight.
This is a type of raven, but they do not portend disaster and misfortune like their black cousins. The only message they bring is that the change of seasons is coming.
"Spring?" Byron said to himself. This sentence was accompanied by a puff of breath.
Soon, the time for release came. Byron was glad that Parsa did not guess that someone would use transformation magic to sneak into the floating city. Maybe he thought it was just the negligence of the city guards that allowed a few of them to escape.
Dun's men raised their spears to maintain order. Perhaps they were frightened by the murderous intent of the spears, and those white ravens
Suddenly they flew up, their pale wings brushing over the heads of everyone and making a faint splashing sound. The three people mixed in the crowd and slowly moved towards the city. "Everyone, please be quiet, line up and enter in order." Bolton shouted loudly.
He said, "First in, first out. When all the people outside come in, the people inside will line up and go out."
In this way, the three of them successfully sneaked into the floating city again. However, since it was a war period, Byron believed that sentries would be posted in every hotel. Even in high-end hotels where some nobles often went down to the tower, Parsa would no longer care about the royal family.
Give up the investigation to save face. After all, the excuse of war can bet on everyone's mouth. If a country fails, even a high-ranking noble can only become a prisoner.
So Byron decided that everyone would take action after taking a short rest on the roadside, and sneak in through the secret passage again when the sun sets in the evening. "Our purpose of sneaking into the palace was very clear last time, so we can find the target very quickly." Byron
Said, "But it will definitely take a lot of time to find Parsa's secret laboratory this time. Fortunately, you two also walked through the secret passage leading to the Holy Light Palace last time. You also have all kinds of dangers in it.
Personal experience shows that entering the palace can save a lot of time."
"I agree, act early and get out of here early." Joshua replied with a happy voice.
However, he noticed that Geraint showed a trace of hesitation on his face at this time for some reason. Although this expression quickly disappeared from his face, Joshua noticed it.
"Uncle Geraint, have you thought of any trouble?"
Geraint looked like he was suddenly called out after being distracted. He was startled at first, and then quickly came back to his senses. "Nothing, I was just wondering if there are any other forbidden areas in the palace besides the Prime Minister's Tower? Or should I say?
A place that even the king doesn’t pay much attention to.”
Byron patted Geraint on the shoulder: "We will wait until we enter the palace. We won't find anything new even if we think about it now. After entering the palace, I believe that the black energy in Ruona's crystal will be due to the darkness.
The tow took us there."
"Hopefully the Goddess of Light will bless this damn thing and end it soon! Now the warriors of the Kingdom of Lance are engaged in a meaningless fight. And the creator of all this, Parsa, is still in the position of Prime Minister, using his power
Let our soldiers lose their lives in vain. None of their deaths were worth it," Geraint said.
A gust of strong wind hit, and Byron suddenly shivered violently. "Are you feeling cold, Lord Byron?" Joshua asked. "Although the weather is a little cold, it's not to the point of shivering all over?"
Byron put his hands on his shoulders to calm himself down.
"Maybe he got injured while fighting the dark demon lion in the woods last night." Byron slowly adjusted his breathing.
"I guess this is the power of dark magic." For a moment, Joshua seemed to think of something. Then he remembered that Uncle Geraint's injuries were also related to dark magic. It is said that it was caused by the residue of magic in his body.
Unable to exert all his strength.
"I'm fine, let's hurry up." Byron's voice seemed to be a little deeper. "After we entered the Holy Light Palace, the deployment in the palace was not clear. Parsa must have stepped up its vigilance now, and we must be careful when the time comes.
"
Byron lifted the wooden board and opened the underground door, and the dark secret passage was revealed to everyone. Since they had already walked through it once, Joshua felt it was very familiar, so everyone quickly started a new round of sneaking. Byron held the torch.
Leading everyone along the original footsteps. Joshua walked quickly, while Geraint followed carefully.
Geraint held one hand on the damp wall and followed Byron. "Uncle Geraint, what are you doing?" Joshua turned around and shook his hand. "Be careful of the palm prints on the wall.
"Last time I accidentally triggered the mechanism here, have you forgotten?" Joshua looked at Geraint in surprise.
Geraint quickly retracted his hand and tried to pretend to have a calm expression. "How could I forget? I just wanted to explore the locations of those mechanisms. I won't trigger them."
When Byron caught a glimpse of the movement, he also showed a puzzled expression. He looked towards the top of the secret passage: "Geraint, you should know the consequences of triggering the mechanism. We spent a lot of effort to escape to heaven last time."
"It's okay, Lord Byron, I will be careful." Geraint nodded.
Then they successfully passed the iron gate and reached the suspension bridge.
"Remember how many hoops we had to jump through, Uncle Geraint?" Joshua laughed.
"Uh, I don't remember, it's a long distance anyway?" Geraint responded awkwardly.
"Hey, you have forgotten the numbers six, seven, eight, which are so easy to remember?" Joshua smiled and quickly walked onto the suspension bridge.
"You've been a little nervous recently, but there are more dangers ahead, so we must cheer up." Byron patted Geraint on the shoulder and followed him onto the suspension bridge.
They finally arrived at the Holy Light Palace. At this time, Byron suddenly felt that the magic crystal he carried began to move.
