The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 1068 A Dragon Attacks
How to mess up the evil cultivator's calculations, I don't know how to proceed, but there is still a lot of room for manipulation. At least Lin Tianci is thinking that he can ask the emperor for the extremely blue star fragments in his treasury.

As for where to start...

He came running by himself.

Isaac seemed to be very familiar with the people of the Phoenix Stream, and no one stopped him at all. After finding Lin Tianci and Fu Chongwen, he just came to brag first.

The painting style is roughly the same as that group of white magicians and herbalists, blowing Brother Lin towards the direction of the genius doctor.

Lin Tianci didn't listen to how he boasted about himself at all, and made eye contact with Fu Chongwen, and then said:

"Your Highness Isaac..."

Isaac immediately made a pause gesture, and he was relieved to see that there was no one else around:

"Mr. Lin, please don't reveal my identity."

"Okay, Isaac."

Brother Lin organized his language and said:
"The injury situation of the people in the Phoenix Stream is a bit strange. We guess it is related to an evil organization that has been operating in the dark for a long time. I don't know if you have any clues."

As they said, Fu Chongwen and Lin Tianci stared at Isaac's face closely, not wanting to let go of any subtle movements, whether it was their eyes or expressions.

As I said just now, the upper echelons of the empire are likely to have some cooperation with the evil cultivator, at least they have had contact, otherwise the evil cultivator would not take this step to replace the chess of the Phoenix style.

No matter how unreliable Isaac's performance is, he is also the prince of the empire. It is entirely possible for the evil cultivator to lure him to cooperate with the condition of the "emperor's throne".

In short, neither Lin Tianci nor Fu Chongwen believed in this familiar guy, and this sentence was somewhat tentative.

Isaac was taken aback when he heard the words, with such an expression on his face.

It seems that he does know evil cultivators.

In a low voice, he said:

"His Majesty the Emperor once talked to me. He did mention them. He also speculated that the coma of the Phoenix Stream was related to them, but there was no evidence."

Fu Chongwen also lowered his voice:
"You don't need evidence for this."

"Yes, no need, so we have always maintained a wait-and-see attitude towards those people's proposals."

That is to say, they don't cooperate, but they don't completely refuse, leaving some room for turning around. After all, the Phoenix Stream is already like this, and if something really happens, they will still choose to cooperate with the evil cultivator in desperation.

"Those guys only ask for living people. There are many prisoners of war in our empire. The disappearance of a few thousand people will not cause any ideas at all. I am afraid that they will be found because of this."

Hearing that the empire still had slaves, Brother Lin frowned, but didn't say much about it.

After all, the current social form is still feudalism, and it is not uncommon for slavery to survive. You cannot judge the present with the eyes of future generations, which is not correct.

"I don't know much about whether I have cooperated or not, as a prince who is adventuring outside, and His Majesty the Emperor will not tell me everything, but I know that those guys are definitely not trustworthy people. I believe His Majesty the Emperor. The side is naturally clear."

After all, the style of evil cultivation theory is basically similar to that of cult believers or devil worshipers. There are a lot of information about evil cultivation activities that are regarded as the former two by Sai Li.

And no matter which one it is, it will not be welcomed in any normal country, unless it is forced to, otherwise it is seeking skin from a tiger.

Seeing Lin Tianci and Fu Chongwen thoughtful, Isaac said again:
"I can tell the two of you, His Majesty the Emperor, I'm already planning to get rid of that group of people."

"why?"

Isaac shook his head, as if he didn't know more.

Then he returns to normal volume:
"I know that both of you are powerful figures. I'm here to inform you that the government has issued an emergency summoning order to summon a large number of adventurers."

"Is there really a monster?"

After all, the undead phoenix just flew over the head, and it is an early warning that will only appear when a huge threat is approaching, so it is natural to think of this.

Although Fu Chongwen has already obtained the fragments, he has received a lot of favor from the Phoenix Stream during his time in the empire. The top master of the Phoenix Stream who is best at dealing with monsters in the country has just awakened and cannot be sent out to fight.What's more, there are signs of evil cultivators participating in it, and it is impossible for him to slap his buttocks and walk away due to emotion and reason. Hearing this, he clasped his fists:

"I would like to do my best, but what exactly is it?"

Isaac shook his head:
"The specific situation will not be known until the messenger returns. We don't even know whether it is an attack from another country or simply a powerful monster...Look!"

As he was speaking, Isaac suddenly pointed to the mountain on the left.

The capital of the empire is located in the mountains, and it can be said that mountains of different heights can be seen everywhere around it. A golden flame ignited on the peak that Isaac pointed out, like a beacon.

"It's a golden flame, which means the threat is a dragon."

Beacon fires are still very reliable as a means of transmitting messages in this era, especially when magic is not yet developed, and mages in the mortal world can hardly communicate over long distances.

As for the golden flame, it was taught in chemistry class. It is a very simple flame reaction, and different information is transmitted through different colored beacons. The golden flame means that a dragon is coming.

This……

It's really not the type to deal with.

–‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐‐

Isaac came to find Lin Tianci and the others, the purpose was to convey the fact that the adventurers were recruited, and said that the situation of the evil cultivators was just incidental because Lin Tianci directly pointed it out.

As soon as he saw that the beacon fire was golden, which represented a signal of an incoming dragon, he hurriedly bid farewell to the two of them, and then ran away without knowing where.

In fact, even if he didn't come to explain, Phoenix Flow would receive information soon. After all, the empire relied most on Phoenix Flow to deal with monsters.

Looking at it this way, Isaac's sudden running seems to be superfluous and unnecessary.

There is a need, the purpose is to see if Lin Tianci and Fu Chongwen are still there, if they go back to Eastern China directly, they will be caught blind.

Yes, Isaac has learned a lot of information, which is far beyond the level of Lingtong.

He knew the monks, and he also knew that the monks were divided into good and evil factions, and each wanted to kill the other. He even knew why these righteous monks traveled between planes, and even knew a lot of information about Lin Tianci.

As for why...
More on that later.

After being separated from Lin Tianci and others, Isaac immediately boarded a carriage without an emblem, and then drove to the palace together with many carriages that were urgently recruited into the palace.

The third prince Owen is now in the palace, and in front of him is the emperor who rules the entire empire.

He and Isaac were notified by the palace guards almost at the same time, but Isaac came first and then left to go to the Phoenix Stream, so the two brothers did not meet.

The emperor of the empire seems to be in his 40s, and he is in his prime, but this is because he is well maintained, and his actual age is approaching [-], which means that he will hand over power in the next few years and make the empire Hand it over to the next emperor to take care of himself.

But this old man didn't look old and frail at all. His eyes were still piercing while he was looking at the documents at his desk. Just standing opposite him, he could feel a strong sense of coercion.

Even though this person is Owen's biological father, the emperor's family has never had the blood-thicker-water bond of common people.

Owen was a little nervous, probably because he was worried that His Majesty would find out about his conspiracy, or it might be because he was simply restrained when facing his father.

And as time went by, the tension intensified.

Except for the salute and greeting that Owen gave when he entered the door, the emperor of the empire did not say a word to Owen, and he always looked at the documents on the table, as if he did not exist.

This dignified atmosphere was continuously interrupted by the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Come in."

With permission, the person outside opened the heavy solid wood door and knelt on the carpet with one knee:
"Your Majesty, the Sunchaser Peak Beacon Tower has been lit, and the flames are golden."

The emperor put down the quill in his hand and pinched his temples:

"Is it really a dragon..."

Creatures like dragons like gold and silver and other precious metals and gems, and they are usually obtained by looting directly. They never care about the thoughts of weak mortals.

Therefore, for any mortal country, once a dragon appeared, it would be a natural disaster.

The empire's soldiers are well-trained and well-equipped, but because of the lack of arable land, the empire itself does not have many available soldiers, and because it is busy dealing with the divided Taharaka Kingdom, it is simply busy grabbing territory. Haunted can't spare a hand at all.

But if the dragon is left alone, the damage it will cause is far worse than being invaded by neighboring countries, and the empire that has just improved is likely to be wiped out directly.

They are so miserable, and there is almost no fault tolerance rate to toss, which is why the empire adopts such a strict method to select future emperors. They must ensure that every reigning emperor is wise and powerful.

"The specific situation will have to wait for the scouts to come back, but as His Majesty said, it's a dragon."

There are many types of creatures like dragons. Saili divides them into ancient species, mutant species and modern species, but this is just a very simple way of classification.

Different dragons have completely different combat abilities and characteristics. If you encounter metal dragons such as gold dragons and silver dragons, as long as you communicate with him well, you don't have to fight to the death. But if you encounter five-color dragons, such as red dragons and white dragons kind……

Then it is not an opponent that can be settled simply by words.

Of course, this is just an example, as I just said, there are many types of dragons, and they all have different personalities. We need to wait for further news on how to do it.

But preparation still needs to be done, and it is necessary to prepare for the worst.

"Pass my order. From now on, the whole territory will be under curfew, and the news will be blocked at the same time. People who take advantage of the chaos and do evil must be dealt with as soon as possible and strictly."

It is too frightening to have a dragon attack. Once it is spread by some good people, it will even lead to riots and widespread panic.

So compared to how to deal with the dragon, the most important thing is to stabilize your hometown first.

"Also, how is the situation on the adventurer's side?"

"Report to His Majesty, adventurer..."

"Come on, I'm mentally prepared."

"There are not many adventurers who respond to the call. When the beacon fire of Sun Chaser Peak is lit, there will probably be even fewer."

There is no way to do this. Everyone is not stupid and knows what the golden flame represents.

Creatures like dragons do not exist below level 50 as long as they are adults. Although the price offered by the empire is indeed attractive, it is only worth spending money if you have your life. It is very unreliable to deal with a dragon. .

Their reaction was also expected. It is a biological instinct to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. What's more, adventurers come from all over the world. They don't have much sense of belonging to the empire. The main reason for their activities here is because of the price offered by the empire. Yes, there is no psychological pressure for everyone to run away when necessary, the big deal is to change places to make money.

"Do your best, increase the amount of the reward by [-]%, find out if there are any powerful characters among the adventurers who can cooperate, and notify the Imperial Mage Tower to prepare for battle. That's all for now, let's execute it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The guard stepped back to get rid of the room, and closed the door with excellent sound insulation. Owen, who had always been a transparent person, found that his own father, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, was staring at him, as if waiting for him to speak. ...
