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

"But fortunately I made some preparations before coming here."

As he spoke, Leon took out a pair of sunglasses and a silver coin he found on Nacho from his pocket.

Disguise is secondary. The most important thing is actually this silver coin that represents the royal identity and status.

When Leon served in the Dragon Slayer Army, the Imperial Royal Family also gave him something like this.

It looks nice, but he has never been interested in this kind of thing.

He simply went home and modified it a bit, turning it into a pair of rattles for livestock, and hung it around the donkey's neck.

This time, when the donkey started pulling the mill, the pleasant sound of the bell continued, adding a lot of fun to the donkey's boring "996" life.

Leon put on his sunglasses, played with the silver coin in his hand, then raised his chin towards the four guards, deliberately pretending to be an official.

"Let's go, Miss Noa."

hiss--

What's going on with this contradictory feeling of disliking him but also wanting to cooperate with him?

Was it also like this when my mom was dating him?

You are already twenty-three, old man, can you be more mature?

But even though she was complaining in her heart, Noa still cooperated with him very well.

"Yes, Lord Leon."

The father and daughter remained calm and walked towards the entrance of the underground facility.

The four guards heard the footsteps and immediately became alert.

"Who are you? Why are you here in the middle of the night to visit the royal family's storage place for tribute from the Western Regions?" the leading guard asked sternly.

Leon didn't answer and continued to play with the silver coins in his hand.

The silver coins folded back and forth between his fingers smoothly and effortlessly.

Noah walked forward and whispered back,

"The culture of the Western Regions is world-famous, and it is inconvenient to visit during the day because there are too many people, so we choose to come and observe at night."

The guard lowered his alert and glanced at the silver coin in Leon's hand. He realized that the other party was an important official, so he changed his expression at the speed of light, "Excuse me, sir. The code was arranged by the royal family. No matter who comes, they must confirm the code first."

The secret code was cleverly integrated into the question-and-answer conversation. It was clearly the place where the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scales were stored, but it was disguised as "tribute from the Western Regions." If someone didn't know the secret code, they would definitely be fooled.

Leon secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still had no intention of speaking.

The communication is still carried out by 'Miss Noa'.

"It's okay, I understand. It's all for work. We need to go in and check things out now. It's a routine inspection. Please lift the barrier temporarily."

"Yes."

The guard nodded respectfully and immediately lifted the barrier around the underground facility.

Noa half turned her head, "Sir, we can go in now."

"Lady first."

Ladies first

Yue!

Lao Deng is actually quite an actor.

Oh, mom can be quite dramatic sometimes too.

That's fine.

Two kinds of people cannot sleep in the same bed.

The father and daughter walked into the underground facility one after the other and went down the stairs.

The torches lit up one by one, and after walking through layers of stairs, they finally arrived at the basement where the heart-protecting dragon scales were stored.

The basement was large and spacious, with dozens of stone platforms neatly arranged in the room, and dragon scales of different colors floating above the stone platforms.

The moment Noah stepped into the basement, she felt a heavy pressure.

She frowned slightly and looked around the room full of heart-protecting dragon scales.

She knew that the oppressive force came from these dragon scales. The body of the Dragon King might have fallen, but the power contained in the dragon scales still existed.

However, Noa didn't know much about this kind of thing. After all, the heart-protecting dragon scales would only slowly condense after the dragon clan reached a hundred years old.

And she is only twenty-two years old this year.

"There aren't that many dragon scales..."

Leon said slowly, "Many stone platforms are empty."

"Well, maybe they have been used up, or maybe they are saved for the newly collected dragon scales."

Noa said, "But the small number also proves that the Empire doesn't want every dragon scale, right?"

Leon nodded. "Well, centenarian dragons are very common. If the empire is simply collecting dragon scales, the number cannot be so small. Unless their target is some special heart-protecting dragon scales, such as..."

"The dragon scales that protect the Dragon King's heart." Noa added.

"And Xiaoguang's reversal magic just happens to require the Dragon King-level heart-protecting dragon scales to activate." Leon said.

Noa sighed softly, "But how do we determine which dragon scale has the same magical properties as Ravi?"

If they took the wrong one and the reversal magic could not be activated, then they would suffer a great loss on this adventure to the empire.

However, General Lai said calmly,

"Isn't this simple?"

Noah glanced at him sideways.

Then the old man took out a black cloth bag from his pocket and said, "Why don't you just take them all?"

broken.

There is a sense of beauty that is similar to the Monkey King joining the Peach Garden.

Chapter 276: 84 Good news, the anti-armor evolution of the little cotton jacket (two in one, monthly ticket plus more)

At the entrance, Leon put a black bag on his waist, which was filled with heart-protecting dragon scales.

He and Noah came to the entrance one after another.

Upon seeing this, the guard lifted the barrier, allowing the two to walk out safely.

"Sir, what are the results of the inspection? Are all the dragon scales missing?" the guard asked with a smile, his tone full of the meaning of seeking credit.

Not one missing?

Incorrect.

Not a single one was left.

correct.

Although General Lai had never been a thief, he was well aware of the principle that a thief never leaves empty-handed.

In response to the guard's question, Leon nodded imperceptibly and hummed sullenly, "Not bad, keep up the good work, and I'll say a few good words for you in front of the adults."

"Well, thank you very much, sir!"

Leon tensed up and secretly looked at Noa, exchanging glances:

See? He has to thank us.

Noah rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"My lord, it's getting late. We should go back," said Noah.

"Well, let's go."

Just as Leon was about to take a step, he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to the guard and said, "Don't forget to restore the barrier. Be careful of the enemy sneaking in."

"My Lord reminded me!"

The guard immediately turned around and worked with his companions to restore the barrier to its original state.

"Sir, walk slowly."

"Ah."

The father and daughter looked at each other, then started to leave.

But just after taking a few steps, he suddenly heard a young guard shouting, "Sir, what's in your waist pocket?"

Leon paused, closed his eyes helplessly, and sighed slowly.

The other guards also noticed something and became alert.

"Sir, you didn't have this pocket when you came in just now, did you? Please let us check it."

"Sir, please cooperate and slowly retreat - poof! -"

Before he could finish his words, a dark shadow flashed in front of the guard and then hit him in the stomach with a jab that was so fast that it could not be captured by the naked eye, without giving him any time to react.

The guard nearby reacted quickly, "Quick, quick, activate the barrier alarm!! Someone is invading, someone—ah!"

Noah pushed the ground with her right foot, jumped into the air, and hit the man directly in the face with her knee. The man lost consciousness in an instant.

The guard next to him who wanted to use the barrier to sound the alarm was also easily subdued by Leon.

There is one last guard left.

When this guy saw that his three colleagues were dealt with by the two men in front of him in the blink of an eye, he immediately knelt down and surrendered.

A wise man will not suffer a loss in front of him, so as to keep the green mountains and never worry about firewood!

Leon snorted coldly, walked forward, and knocked him out with a knife.

"Fortunately, I asked them to restore the barrier before we took action. If it had been open for a long time, it would have definitely attracted the attention of those warlocks."

Leon said, looking at his daughter, "Let's go, Miss Noa."

Noah rolled her eyes at him with a smirk and muttered, "Tsk, you're such a dramatic actor."

The father and daughter cooperated well and started working right away after getting the dragon scales.

Return along the original route, and the secret passage of the imperial city is not far ahead.

As long as he can get through and find a way to leave the empire, he can use the stolen dragon scales to help Orrola complete the reversal magic.

Then... back to the past -

"Who is that person over there?!"

"Stand there and don't move!"

"The royal family has just issued an order that no one is allowed to move around the imperial city at will because an important official is missing."

"State your name and rank, then come slowly toward me."

Leon was shocked.

But he soon calmed down.

"Sure enough...things won't end so smoothly."

Leon said, "Noa, just climb over the wall and leave here. Don't worry about the perception barrier. After leaving the imperial city, go find your sisters, then find a way to get out of the city, return to your mother, and complete the reversal magic."

After that, Leon handed the bag containing the dragon scales to Noa.

The empire's reaction and action were too quick. Nacho had only been missing for two hours, but they had already issued an order to place the entire imperial city under martial law.

Just now, Leon was able to use the secret code he had obtained to deceive the guards.

But in the current situation, these little tricks are no longer effective.

After all, this is the empire's home ground. Even if Leon is extremely careful, there will still be a high risk.

Of course, such risks were anticipated before they came to the empire.

If you want to take away something as important as the Heart-Protecting Dragon Scale, the process will not be smooth sailing.

In this situation, the best solution is for Leon to stay and hold back the empire's pursuers, while Noa, who has the ability to fly, and the other two daughters leave first with the dragon scales.

Noa looked at the black bag in her hand with a serious expression.
