ten minutes later.

"Well, take your time to digest and absorb. The teacher is leaving." Gao Wen smiled and got up.

This is the Imperial Palace, and it is also one of the most heavily guarded places in the imperial palace. There are guards and secret sentries everywhere, and then there are many trigger spell traps and overall spell boundaries. Sneaking into the palace to catch the princess or something is the talent of the dragon and the demon king. Ordinary thieves can't do it at all and can't get in.

Gao Wen is certainly not a thief. He is a dragon, of ancient level.

It's easy to get in.

Moreover, I've been here many times recently. I've been familiar with it for a long time. I'm familiar with even a little abnormal energy fluctuation.

Like now.

"A guest is coming." Gawain frowned.

In fact, running to the princess's boudoir late at night is not quite right and dangerous.

Although the aristocratic life in this world is rather decadent, few of the aristocrats are embarrassed to go out. There are a lot of illegitimate children of the giant eagle emperor, as well as a lot of illegitimate children. The emperor's sister also built a famous Mirror Palace and created dozens of long-standing real images with millions of precious materials, Having fun with dozens of men at the same time.

But the problem is, little princess Sophia is only 8 years old

It's too small. If it's found, it's not romantic. It's called crime.

Of course, Gao Wen is not so dirty, dirty and shameless, but he can't control what others think. He should be careful for the sake of the little princess's reputation and his plot.

Although it is impossible for the guards to search the princess's boudoir, the necessary patrols are everywhere. The court mages use the detection array to search the whole palace several times every day. Any disharmonious factors will be found, such as someone who should not appear somewhere.

In this case, Gawain can always find out in advance and avoid it immediately.

Although he has at least a dozen ways to avoid exploration, there are still risks. Powerful spells will produce powerful mana fluctuations, which will arouse the vigilance of mages and bring unnecessary trouble.

But we can't avoid it today.

Because the comer is not good.

Weak mana fluctuations come from deep underground.

The eagle's nest city is divided into dozens of floors from top to bottom. The Imperial Palace occupies the highest floors. Below the princess's boudoir is actually a complex aristocratic area and upper trade area. The whole mountain has been hollowed out. Some secret organs and secret roads have existed for hundreds of thousands of years. The Palace mages have a very important task to continue to study the city itself.

Some of these secret ways were left by the dwarves before the war of the gods, while others were created by people with ulterior motives for thousands of years. The methods and sophistication are different.

Some are easy to find, while others are difficult. There are many legendary mages and legendary alchemists.

A few will be found every year, perhaps never all.

Like this one below.

When it was not opened, the tight physical structure and wonderful magic means made Gawain's spiritual detection completely ineffective.

He could not find that the chief palace master and the royal highness of the past and royal Magi were probably not likely to find it. When Govan looked at the little princess, she shook her head in surprise.

She doesn't know.

That's interesting.

Who has mastered an unknown secret way, and now suddenly opened it for what?

Is it for little princess Sophia herself, or for the amulet around her neck?

Of course, more likely, both?

Mental scanning is difficult to break through layers of defense, and it is easier to arouse the other party's vigilance.

indifferent.

Just wait.

"Goodbye, Sophia."

Gao Wen quietly turned the window and left, then quietly entered the stealth state and returned to the room.

He didn't tell Sophia what was going to happen. He didn't know anyway.

He didn't intend to let Sophia cooperate with him. The best cooperation is to know nothing, so as not to arouse the vigilance of others.

Thinking stealing is not absolutely reliable. Some spiritual will is strong enough to resist thinking stealing, such as some old mages who have lived for hundreds of years and those wild spirits who have lived longer.

Those who dare to make trouble in the little princess's boudoir are definitely not simple goods. At least they have to be able to deal with amulets.

Most of them are legendary professionals, and they are still relatively powerful.

This kind of existence is mostly thought stealing. It doesn't work. The best way to know the truth is to let the other party say it himself.

Gawain made up his mind:

As long as his life is not in danger, he just looks at it and doesn't do it.

He had a strong hunch:

Tonight must be a crucial night. Maybe the situation of the whole eagle nest city will change greatly.

As usual, after accepting the essence of Govan, the princess Sophia was tired and sleepy, and then had to hold back her sleepiness, while meditating and digesting and absorbing simultaneously. This was also a natural gift, a rare talent, which is a means to enhance mental strength.

Little princess Sophia is undoubtedly a man of perseverance. Ordinary people can't stick to it. Of course, this is related to Gawain's spiritual hint.

Time passed minute by minute.

Somewhere the space began to twist. After a wave like surge, a non-existent stone wall appeared.

This is the Space folding technology, which folds a space that should have existed and hides it behind another space. This is the means of the legendary mage. The builder of this secret way should be a legendary mage of the royal family, and even Princess Aisha 3200 years ago.

She is the third Royal female legendary mage recorded, and the greatest one in thousands of years. She has deep attainments in space magic.

More importantly, she was the former owner of the room.

If there was this secret passage and this folding space before her, it could not be concealed from her at all, and after her death, the secret passage would not be known——

So, what is the purpose of this secret way?

After more than 3000 years, who discovered it?

The space fluctuation is very weak, and then there is a good magic effect. It can calm the mana fluctuation of the whole room and will not be found by the outside world. This is a very clever skill. At least with Gawain's current magic attainments, it can't be done at all.

The stone wall is very short and looks ordinary.

But Gao Wen doesn't have to think about it. The stone wall deliberately folded and hidden is certainly not simple.

The next second, all the stones on the stone wall began to change.

Protruding, concave, turning, moving, in less than 10 seconds, it became a not very big door frame.

Inside the door frame is a dark passage leading to an unknown place.

Suddenly, several shadow chains stretched out from the dark path and bound the little princess Sophia.

The amulet shines with seven colors. Three defense spells are activated at the same time, but it's too late.

In less than a second, the chain dragged the little princess Sophia into the dark path.

The seven color streamer had no time to shine out, so it was strangely swallowed up by the dark way and disappeared.

A shadow floated out and appeared in the original position of little princess Sophia, then changed quietly and soon became Sophia.

As like as two peas, even the breath is the same, and the neck wears a talisman and a fake.

The dark path began to disappear.

Gawain still kept sneaking and followed into the dark path.

The door frame became a stone wall and the space began to fold.

Everything is back as usual.

……

……

The chain tied little princess Sophia and floated in the distance, with Gawain following.

No one can find him.

Invisibility + stealth state, even if standing behind a legendary mage, the other party may not be able to find it.

While following, Gawain observed.

Soon found the exception.

"The whole dark path has been folded?"

This dark path uses an extremely clever Space folding technology to completely hide it, which is equivalent to being hidden in a solid wall. It doesn't exist in the outside world, which is much smarter than a simple folding space, similar to a half plane.

Legendary mages open up half planes. Some create new independent space through the material transformation of a large amount of energy, while others fold the original space and cut it away by magic.

The former is more difficult. The advantage is that it is like a real God kingdom. It is absolutely hidden and can change its position at any time. Unless you know the exact spell coordinates or are allowed by the master of the half plane, you can't find it at all.

In fact, this kind of half plane is very rare. Not one of the 100 legendary mages can do it. Once it is done, it is no different from opening up the kingdom of God. In fact, the legendary mages hiding inside are not much different from the gods in the kingdom of God.

The latter is similar to the kingdom of God on earth. It is constant somewhere and cannot move. Once it is found, it is easy to be broken. The advantage is that it is relatively simple and often larger. Folding space is much easier than creating space. In the eyes of some wise legendary mages, this folded space can not be regarded as a half plane at all.

Just as orthodox gods despise the kingdom of God on earth.

Goliath's seven fold space, in addition to the kingdom of God, is actually the latter, otherwise it could not be so large.

Folding space is still troublesome.

The legendary mages fold the space, which is equivalent to getting a shelter + storage space for storing important items. They hide in to protect their lives at critical moments. How can they get a secret passage?

Unless it's really important.

Where does this secret passage lead?

The dark path is generally downward.

Twists and turns are complex, connected by slopes, corridors and stairs. Soon we arrive at the noble District, and the chain stops.

There is still a passage ahead, but it is blocked by the magic door. I don't know where this secret passage leads and how deep it is.

The wall on the left suddenly began to change. As before, the bricks and stones soon became a door frame. The chain dragged the little princess Sophia in, and Gawain followed closely.

When the door frame disappeared, Gawain felt as if he had been freed from a narrow space. It was no longer a folding space and returned to the real world.

Let go of your spirit.

"This is... Duke Jeffrey's house?"

Gao Wen picked his eyebrows, but there was no accident.

Princess Aisha, 3200 years ago, became a legendary Mage at a young age. She was extremely talented and pursued by too many people, including kings, princes and even heirs of the Empire in neighboring countries.

But maybe the genius's brain was sick. She finally married Baron Jeffrey at that time, a not particularly outstanding man and the ancestor of Duke Jeffrey of this generation.

If anyone else knew this secret way, Duke Jeffrey was indeed the most likely one.

Everything is right.

The question now is, how did Duke Jeffrey hook up with the shadow?

Yes, shadow.

The chains that bind little princess Sophia are not real, but shadow chains. They are composed of pure shadow energy. This is also a very clever spell. If the caster is not surprised, he should be a legendary shadow priest.

Only the caster of this level can capture the little princess Sophia wearing the amulet.

Not just shadow chains.

At that time, it was not the shadow path itself that swallowed the colorful streamer and invalidated the defense spell on the amulet, but a shadow gem.

Extremely precious gemstones may not be as valuable as amulets, but they will not be too bad. They are truly legendary items.

If you purify with holy light and give it to a forging master with sufficient ability, a second ash messenger may be born.

Such a good thing, even Gawain is a little excited.

In fact, Gawain could take the shadow gem at any time, but he didn't.

Take a long line to catch big fish.

This was the closest he had been to the darkness, and the truth was right in front of him.

Little princess Sophia did not struggle.

Although the little girl is only 8 years old, she is smart enough. Coupled with Gao Wen's spiritual hints again and again, she is much calmer than teenagers. She knows that struggle is meaningless.

If the other party tries hard to catch himself, it can't be to kill himself. There's nothing to be afraid of.

The teacher will find abnormalities and will come to save herself. She firmly believes in this.

Brainwashing... The benefits of spiritual suggestion are here. The little princess has great trust and worship for Gao Wen. In her heart, teacher Medivh is the first, and the others stand aside.

But she never thought that her "Medivh teacher" had always been by her side and never gone far.

This is a small room, dark.

Little princess Sophia can't even see anything. She will be afraid for a long time. After all, she is still a child.

This is obviously the other party's intention to break through the little princess's psychological defense——

No, not really.

It's just a child. The other party won't treat her as an opponent. It's probably just to scare her.

Sure enough.

Only 10 minutes later, the magic lamp hanging on the top floor was on, a door opened and an old man came in.

"Duke Jeffrey?"

Little princess Sophia screamed.

The old Duke, who is famous for his idleness, caught himself?

She can't figure it out.

This family rose because of Princess Aisha. It has always been the strongest supporter of the royal family. Did it attack itself?

Why?

The little princess wanted to question, but she didn't speak at last.

Because she soon found that Duke Jeffrey was not alone.

Another man came in, kind and bright.

Bishop brewer, the legendary bishop of the temple of light, is a strong competitor for the next archbishop.
