Chapter 267 Evil Dragon
Blair watched the two figures leave, his face darkening.

What was supposed to be a romantic encounter turned out to be someone who was already taken.

However, the sentimental Blair was not discouraged.

He was leaving for war tomorrow, and he couldn't possibly stay home alone tonight, so he turned around and went to see his old lover.

Ning Yun and Xiao Qichen did not return to their room immediately; the main hall of the city lord's mansion was brightly lit.

Lord Adrian was among them, talking with several people.

His expression remained serious, making him seem out of place in the scene.

What secrets does this city lord hold?

Ning Yun always felt that the key to the mission was this city lord.

"The truth may come out tomorrow," Xiao Qichen said.

Tomorrow, Motown and Silver Dragon will inevitably have to fight to the death, and the truth will come to light.

Before that, Ning Yun wanted to take a look at the city lord's bedroom to see if she could find any other clues.

"Since the city lord is currently unavailable, why don't we go and take a look now?"

Anyway, there are many men and women who take the opportunity to have an affair at the banquet, so no one will notice the two of them.

Even if they were discovered by the guards, they would escape by claiming that they were "unfamiliar with the layout of the city lord's mansion".

Ning Yun pretended to be unwell and leaned against Xiao Qichen.

Occasionally, they would encounter guards and maids from the city lord's mansion. Everyone would just show an understanding expression and not come up to disturb them.

And so, the two of them brazenly arrived near the city lord's bedroom.

Outside the window, snowflakes swirled around, but Ning Yun did not reveal their identity.

Even the people in the city lord's mansion thought that Xuexue was just a wild bird and didn't care.

As for Xiaobai, since it was inconvenient to bring her into the city, she stayed with Wei Hanchuan.

With Xuexue's surveillance, Xiao Qichen and Ning Yun successfully entered the city lord's bedroom.

Upon entering, I discovered that it was no different from the room Ning Yun was staying in.

The same large bed, table, and balcony are all arranged in a similar way.

"This city lord is quite frugal," Ning Yun commented.

She wears the "Gift of the Grizzly Bear" on her chest, which allows her to ignore all illusions.

There was nothing strange about the room, which explains why Xiao Qichen only found one dragon scale when he came in last time.

Ning Yun carefully stepped onto the floor and examined the room closely.

The overall style is simple, which is quite in line with the impression of the city lord.

But as she looked around, Ning Yun noticed something was amiss.

A landscape painting hangs directly opposite the bed.

The painting depicts a high mountain with snow-capped peaks and endless wheat fields below, creating a serene and beautiful scene.

Ning Yun stared at the painting for a long time, which caught Xiao Qichen's attention.

Is there a problem with this painting?

Last time he came in a hurry, he only checked the table and the bed, and found a hidden compartment.

Ning Yun stared at the painting, then slowly backed away until she was at the head of the bed.

"Look, isn't there a door in this wheat field?"

Ning Yun summoned Xiao Qichen and asked him to come and take a look.

door?
Xiao Qichen approached Ning Yun, and from this direction, it seemed there really was something in the wheat field.

Ning Yun turned her head, her eyes bright, "Should we give it a try?"

Although she didn't say what she wanted to try, the two of them had been playing dungeons together for so long that they already had a tacit understanding.

"I asked the vice captain. She's keeping an eye on the city lord and will let us know as soon as he makes a move. As for the painting, we'll decide for ourselves."

Now that they had found a clue, they naturally wanted to find out the truth.

As the two approached the painting, they couldn't find the door in the wheat field.

Fortunately, Ning Yun remembered the location. The two of them reached out their fingers and touched the painting, but there was no reaction.

Ning Yun suddenly realized, "It's a dragon scale, and the dragon scale is the key!" This painting is hanging here so openly, the servants who come to clean it will definitely come into contact with it.

But the fact that no one has discovered this secret means that special conditions are required.

The most special thing in the city lord's bedroom is that dragon scale!

And now, this dragon scale is hidden in the original secret compartment.

Fearing that the city lord would discover that someone had entered his room, Xiao Qichen, after discussing it with everyone, returned the dragon scales.

Now that he has reopened the hidden compartment, the dragon scales are indeed still in the same place.

He took out the dragon scale, and as soon as he touched the painting, the scene before him distorted.

He held Ning Yun's hand tightly, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at a somewhat familiar place.

It feels familiar because this is the scene in the painting, surrounded by wheat fields and with high mountains in the distance.

The two checked the map and discovered that, in fact, this place was not far from Mo City.

Ning Yun suddenly realized, "This city lord is indeed not human; he can actually come outside the city through a painting."

This explains why two dragons appeared near Mo City.

This also explains why the city lord's identity has not been discovered until now.

He traveled outside the city through the painting and transformed into an evil dragon to wreak havoc.

Back in the city, he became a respected city lord.

Silver Dragons, who are confronting Motown, should be blamed.

But now there's a new problem: if this city lord is a dragon, why does he look exactly like the old city lord?

Ning Yun looked around and indeed found traces of burning.

Dragon's breath is fire, capable of burning everything.

Traces will inevitably be left nearby.

"The real evil dragon is the city lord."

No sooner had Ning Yun finished speaking than the mission changed.

Defeat the dragon and save the city! (Progress 30%/100%)

When the task changes, the other members will naturally notice.

They all asked in the team chat what clues they had discovered.

Ning Yun told everyone that the city lord was an evil dragon.

In fact, everyone had suspected the city lord before this, but they couldn't find any evidence, so the mission couldn't proceed.

Only after finding the dragon scales and the landscape painting did the game acknowledge that Ning Yun and the others had truly discovered the truth.

Find the dragon and kill it completely, and you should be able to complete the mission.

But the problem now is, how do we kill it?
Some suggested that they could ambush the city lord at night and kill him before he transformed into a dragon.

"Although he looks human, his true identity is a dragon. He must have a lot of health, so it's impossible to kill him in one hit. If he transforms into a dragon and destroys Mo City, our mission won't be considered complete."

Besides defeating the dragon, they also have to "save the city-state".

The best solution right now is to lure the city lord to a deserted place and eliminate him completely.

The team chat was buzzing with discussion. Ji Jia glanced at it occasionally, then turned his attention back to the city lord.

What is this person's purpose?
If he wanted to destroy Mo City, he could simply transform back into a dragon within the city, and no one could stop him.

If he didn't want to destroy Mo City, he wouldn't have caused chaos outside the city and forbade anyone to leave.

Unless, he cannot transform into a dragon within the city.

Or perhaps he has other reasons.

Ji Jia considered several possibilities, but still couldn't figure it out.

Ning Yun was also pondering the same question at that moment.

"What is the city lord's goal? Isn't it to destroy Mo City?"

Xiao Qichen had another guess: "Perhaps, what he wants to destroy is not Mo City."

Because he thought of something, something Adrian had been trying to accomplish: to unite the nobles together to fight the dragon.

His true purpose is obvious.
