Shut up, I don't want to have children with you anymore.

"Then it's not science fiction if the Silver Dragon Queen marries a human?"

"Shh~"

Noah interrupted the father and daughter's nonsense, "It's time to pass the gate, don't make any noise."

Everyone immediately held their breath and clung to the bottom of the carriage.

The caravan of carriages stopped in front of the imperial gate for routine inspection.

The so-called inspection is just a casual glance. As long as there are no suspicious or dangerous items, they will all be allowed to pass.

The reason for such laxity is not only the traditional laziness of the security brigade, but also the powerful empire on which they rely.

Just like what the captain said just now, apart from Leon, no one dares to cause trouble in the empire.

As the most powerful country in human territory, everyone should be grateful for the opportunity to pay tribute to it. Who would dare to secretly plot trouble?

After the inspection, Leon and his daughter successfully sneaked into the empire by riding a horse-drawn caravan.

After walking through several streets and making sure that there were no imperial patrols nearby, several people seized the opportunity, crawled out from under the carriage, and hid in a small alley nearby.

Leon stood at the entrance of the alley, leaning against the wall, and leaning his head to look around. He was not stared at by anyone, nor did he attract the attention of passers-by.

He turned around and began to discuss countermeasures with his daughters.

"The report provided by the informant did not specify the exact location of the dragon scales. It only said that it was in a secret fortress somewhere in the imperial city."

Noa said, "We need to put in more effort to find the dragon scales."

Leon nodded.

He also anticipated at the beginning that it would not be so easy to find the heart-protecting dragon scale.

The Empire wouldn't collect this kind of stuff for no reason.

The heart-protecting dragon scale is a vital "safety device" for the dragon race, so there are too many possibilities for what humans will do with it.

Therefore, the empire would definitely keep such a precious thing secretly after obtaining it.

It was already amazing that Noah's mysterious informant was able to find out information like "the Empire is collecting heart-protecting dragon scales". If he could also find out the specific storage location of the dragon scales, then the empire's confidentiality departments would really have to be laid off.

The enemy is not a fool. After bypassing the security guard, the real highlight is now.

"I have two solutions."

Leon said,

"First, we will work in groups of two to conduct a search near and inside the Imperial City until we find the place where the dragon scales are kept."

"Second, capture a person in charge and torture him to get the information we need."

“The first method is relatively safe, but it is time-consuming;”

"The second method will get you to the hiding place of the dragon scales faster, but the risk will also increase."

"My idea is that we should search in groups first. If there is no result in the short term, we can take the risk and arrest people. What do you think?"

The three sisters looked at each other and nodded in understanding, indicating that they had no objection to their father's plan.

"Okay, now let's determine the specific groupings."

Leon said, "Noa and Xiaoguang are in one group, and I'm in one group with Mu En, is that okay?"

Mu En flashed her beautiful big eyes and said excitedly, "Am I going to do a secret operation with Dad?"

"Well, are you happy?" Leon asked with a smile.

"Happy! Super happy!" In order to sneak into the empire, the daughters put their tails down, otherwise Mu En would be so happy that his tail would be up to the sky.

Noah gently poked her sister's face and said, "Okay, little follower, be good and obedient after we separate. Don't run around and don't hold us back."

"Tsk, sister, you still treat me as a child." Mu En curled her lips.

Noah rubbed her little head lovingly, "You always seem like a child in front of this guy."

"Humph~"

After formulating a preliminary action plan, Leon instructed again,

"If you encounter an emergency, you should avoid fighting as much as possible, and it is best not to use magic. We must be clear that our purpose of infiltrating the empire this time is to protect the heart dragon scale."

Speaking of magic, Orrola suddenly thought of something.

"Oh, by the way, second sister, if the time comes when you have to use magic, try to use only one element, and don't use two at the same time. Twin awakenings are very rare, and they are the dual elements of lightning and fire. If there are people in the imperial city who are familiar with what happened to my parents, it will be easy for them to guess what is going on here."

Mu En nodded, "Yeah, I see."

"Well, let's get started. Whether we find the location of the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale or not, we will reunite here in three days." Leon said.

"it is good."

Noa and Orrola left first.

Leon took Mu En into the path behind the alley.

Noa and her friends' faces have never appeared in the empire, and for the past twenty years the three sisters have been deliberately avoiding contact with the Empire's dragon-slaying army.

Therefore, no one in the empire should be able to recognize them, and they can naturally walk on the streets without disguise.

General Lai was a top wanted criminal 20 years ago, and he was a dragon-slaying hero who "fallen" into a human traitor. His fame and story would make him a very explosive figure if included in a textbook.

Even after twenty years, he would still be at risk of being recognized, so to be on the safe side, he had to take side roads as much as possible.

"Dad, are we going to the imperial city now?" Mu En asked beside Leon.

"Let's wait until dark. We are not like Noa's group. We can walk freely on the street. Waiting until night is our best cover."

"Oh, alright!"

One of the benefits of grouping is that the daughters don't all have to follow Leon's cautious actions.

It is much easier for Noa and Orrola to move since they have never appeared in the empire.

But if the three of them were together, it would inevitably attract other people's attention, so Leon decided to split into groups of two so that they could take care of each other.

The father and daughter walked around the path and came to the rooftop of an abandoned bell tower, from where they could see the imperial city in the distance.

"Next, we just have to wait until dark."

Leon gazed at the magnificent and glorious building. Who knew what kind of terrifying beast was hidden beneath that bright and beautiful appearance?

Chapter 271: 79 Bring your daughter to the court session

At nightfall, after figuring out the route of the imperial patrol, Leon found the right time and took Mu En to the high wall on one side of the imperial city.

This place is not easy to detect, and a patrol team only passes by every ten minutes.

The father and daughter squatted by the wall, figuring out how to sneak in.

Entering the central area of ​​Qun1Lin Yi Fin Things Warm Chiu IV (IX) Ba Huang City is not as easy as sneaking into the empire during the day.

Those who live here are all royal nobles of the empire. Even the lowest-ranking guy has at least four or five guards following him when he travels.

As for those in higher positions of power, there is naturally no need to say more.

Leon raised his hand and gently pressed it on the outer wall of the imperial city.

It was cold and rough, and there seemed to be a surge of magical energy flowing through it.

"Sure enough, there is a barrier here too." Leon said.

There is a perception barrier set up above the imperial city walls, so the imperial city must be no exception.

Moreover, the strength and functionality of the imperial city's barrier must far exceed the barrier on the outer city wall.

"If we climb over the wall, we will definitely be detected by the barrier."

Leon said, "I'll try to see if I can break a hole in this barrier. Mu En, keep watch for me and notify me immediately if there's any movement."

"Yes, Dad."

Mu En immediately stood up and looked around vigilantly.

Leon tried to break the barrier.

When he was in the Dragon Slayer Academy, his teacher also taught him some basic principles and techniques for breaking barriers. After all, during the march and battle, it was very likely that they would encounter various barriers with different functions set up by the enemy.

But no matter what the function of the barrier is, its essence is still a magic array.

As long as we find the operating rules, there will be a chance to crack it.

However, Leon tried several times and failed each time.

He didn't dare to break through the barrier by force, because that would inevitably attract the attention of the 'Royal Warlock Group'.

The Royal Sorcerer Corps is responsible for the enchantment works on the outer walls, the imperial city, and various major buildings in the empire.

In addition, the Royal Order of Sorcerers is also responsible for teaching members of the royal family and their descendants magical knowledge.

Leon didn't like that group of people very much when he led his troops to war many years ago.

Every one of the Warlocks is a psychopath who is obsessed with things and has no moral or ethical bottom line.

Before the Silver Dragon War, Leon had heard that they were conducting some magical experiment of 'raising dangerous species'. Judging from the group of dangerous species he encountered the last time he returned to the empire, the experiment on this group of mentally ill people was probably successful.

Who knows what more outrageous things they will come up with in the next twenty years.

"No, the composition of the barrier is too complicated. It is much more complicated than it was twenty years ago."

And breaking the barrier is not Leon's specialty.

He could use Chidori to tear the city wall to pieces, but that would only expose his whereabouts.

Their purpose of risking their lives to sneak into the empire was to protect the Heart Dragon Scales, not to cause trouble.

Mu En also took over and tried it, but found that it didn't work either.

The hair on the top of his head drooped down, and Xiaoyue was a little depressed, "Why is this happening..."

Leon raised his hand and patted her head, comforting her, "After all, this is a barrier protecting the imperial city, designed by a bunch of professionals. If the two of us can easily break it, then those people can be laid off with honor."

"So what should we do now, Dad?"

"Well... since sneaking in secretly won't work, let's see if we can find a cover and sneak in under muddy waters like we did during the day."

"it is good."

The success rate of this method is actually not high.

But it's better than doing nothing, so you should give it a try.

Leon and Mu En avoided the patrol and went around to the rooftop of an inn outside the main gate of the imperial city.

Here, you can clearly see the main gate of the imperial city.

There were not many carriages passing by, and judging from the luxurious configuration of those carriages, everyone inside was a wealthy person.

The only thing missing is to set diamonds on the horse's hooves.

"It's different from the city gate. The security guards in the imperial city will carefully search every carriage entering and leaving. If you hide under a carriage, you will definitely be discovered." Leon said quietly.

"Dad, didn't you come to the Imperial City often when you were in the Empire?" Mu En asked.

Leon thought about it and shook his head. "I came here often at first, but later I seldom came."

"Eh? Why?" II Lingba Wu Mio IX (Three) Liu Yu Mu En was curious.

"A soldier like Dad who is fighting on the front line cannot enter and leave the imperial city at will unless he is awarded a medal or has made meritorious service."

Moon blinked, "Then why did you say you could come often in the beginning, Dad?"

"Because Dad has done a lot of good deeds."

Leon thought about it, "At that time... there was probably only one Dragon King per month, so I had to come to the Imperial City once a month to have that dog emperor confer me an honor. Normal people only come here once a year."

"After a long time, they got tired of awarding honors, and I got tired of it too, so we discussed it and decided to do it once every six months."

Mu En widened his eyes slightly and looked at his father with admiration.

"Wow, that's awesome, Dad."

Leon cleared his throat twice and didn't continue to pretend to be a bitch in response to his daughter's praise.

Why is this.

Because her mother was also a special meritorious service in General Lai's eyes...

Well, it’s all old news. It’s all old news.
