281: Imperial Capital Forbidden Area

Chapter 281: Imperial Capital Restricted Zone

“So what now? Are we going to the Black Dragon Mountain Range or the Endless Tower?” Nanasheng asked.

She was even a little excited.

Because this meant that if Lu Ran chose to go to the Black Dragon Mountain Range,

She could participate too!

When other countries clear the Black Dragon Mountain Range, they wish they could send as many people as possible, but high-tier combat professionals are very rare, and each one lost is irreplaceable.

But what about Lu Ran?

He doesn't need that many people at all; he can clear it with just a few.

The purpose of gathering a few people isn't to help Lu Ran fight, but because it would be a bit boring if Lu Ran cleared it alone!

And Nanasheng could naturally become one of the professionals who cleared the Black Dragon Mountain Range!

The goals and dreams Nanasheng couldn't achieve in Sakura could be easily accomplished by Lu Ran's side!

Of course.

Because the team leader, Lu Ran, is from Dragon Xia, the second country in the Global to clear the Black Dragon Mountain Range would definitely be Dragon Xia.

Nanasheng, as a Sakura professional, only had a clear experience.

But she was already very content.

However.

It was still uncertain what Lu Ran would do next.

He might also go to clear the Endless Tower.

But it didn't matter.

Lu Ran would definitely go to the Black Dragon Mountain Range these days.

He had to get the black dragon heart before the National War!

To craft Lu Ran's equipment.

Nanasheng wasn't in a hurry.

Moreover, given Lu Ran's personality, even if he were to go to the Black Dragon Mountain Range, he would definitely inform Liu Xinxin and the others first, and wouldn't just go casually.

Indeed.

Just as Nanasheng was thinking this,

Lu Ran pondered, “No rush, let's go back to the Imperial Capital first. Isn't this a sudden saving of a lot of time?”

Having made up their minds, Lu Ran and his group quickly left the coastal area via the nearest main city teleportation array.

At this moment.

In a certain sea area of the Forbidden Sea.

The originally smooth-as-mirror, somewhat eerily unnatural sea surface suddenly began to churn with waves, gradually merging with the surrounding seawater.

And in the deep sea.

The female Scale Demon, curled up, was also undergoing subtle changes in her body.

Her attributes were also continuously improving.

But from beginning to end, the absolute control effect brought by the Bone Throne entry that Lu Ran had applied to her remained.

This meant that...

An absolute BOSS, whose level surpassed Dark Elf Queen Si Luoluo, surpassed the Dwarf King, and surpassed Yamata no Orochi, was awakening!

And it was an absolute Grand BOSS that Lu Ran completely controlled!

Imperial Capital.

The moment Lu Ran returned, he contacted Liu Xinxin.

“You're back so soon? Then I'll send you a location; just come directly,” Liu Xinxin replied with a message.

Lu Ran glanced at the location.

He originally wanted to ask the people around him, but then he turned his head.

Nanasheng wasn't from Dragon Xia, so she couldn't possibly know.

Qin Wuyao and Lu Ran had been from Black Fire City since childhood, so they naturally couldn't know either.

The only one who might know was Song Chao.

“Song Chao, do you know this place? Where is this?” Lu Ran asked.

Song Chao glanced at the location.

He said in surprise, “I know it, but I haven't been there. It's a restricted zone in the Imperial Capital. If you trespass, you'll be killed on the spot.”

Oh?

Lu Ran's eyes widened. What kind of place was that exaggerated?

“Let's go take a look,” Lu Ran mused.

The destination was still within the main city of the Imperial Capital.

Located in the East City.

It wasn't even far from the Tiandao Alliance Headquarters.

It was a large, separately enclosed area, surrounded by thick city walls.

On and within the city walls, there were constantly patrolling guard teams with strict vigilance.

Lu Ran and his group arrived at the main gate.

He originally thought they would need to notify Liu Xinxin before being allowed in.

But the captain of the guards at the gate, and several minor managers whom Lu Ran didn't recognize, crowded around.

Clearly, Liu Xinxin had already informed them.

And they had been waiting there for a long time.

“Lu Ran, we meet again,” one of the leading figures said, bowing and scraping.

Again?

Lu Ran looked at the person curiously, but couldn't recall where they had met.

And for the other party to have a management position in the Imperial Capital, they were naturally not ordinary people, somewhat worldly, and instantly understood Lu Ran's meaning.

He quickly said, “When you resolved the monster siege in the Imperial Capital, I was watching, so of course I saw you. I've seen you, but you may not have seen me. But it doesn't matter, let's go in now; the several Guild Leaders have already given instructions.”

After speaking, he made a welcoming gesture and stepped aside.

Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief; at least it wouldn't be troublesome.

What he disliked most were the bureaucratic intricacies and rigid rules, but it seemed he hadn't experienced such rules much this time.

Of course.

It might also be that with Lu Ran's current status and position, those rules no longer applied.

In other places, like on the big ship before, many people had heard of Lu Ran and knew of the existence and legend of this Undead Mage.

But few had actually met Lu Ran.

Some remote areas might not even have heard Lu Ran's name and legend yet; it hadn't spread there.

But in the Imperial Capital, who didn't know Lu Ran?

Countless people had seen Lu Ran!

After all, when Lu Ran resolved the monster siege, he unfurled his Elf Wings and floated above the Imperial Capital; how many people in the Imperial Capital had seen Lu Ran?

And just as Lu Ran passed by,

The manager hesitated and looked at the others behind Lu Ran.

“These few…” the manager asked cautiously.

He didn't directly refuse entry to those people.

He was a smart person, so it was better to ask Lu Ran first.

Otherwise,

If he acted rashly and caused trouble, he would be in deep trouble.

Indeed.

Lu Ran heard this and looked back.

He casually said, “They're with me; they came together.”

“I see, that's good then. Come in together. I was just concerned about safety, hehe… Let's go, let's go,” the manager said with a chuckle.

But actually,

When Liu Xinxin gave instructions, she only mentioned Lu Ran.

She didn't mention anyone else.

However, as a minor manager, he had that much discernment.

Since Lu Ran agreed, even if there were problems, Lu Ran would be there to handle them.

Furthermore,

With Lu Ran's current status as a Guoshi, what he said was absolute?

His orders were paramount!

Even his priority was above Liu Xinxin's!

Subsequently, Lu Ran and his group, led by the manager, entered the main gate.

After they walked in, the gate closed again.

Lu Ran looked up.

The enclosed area was vast, but there weren't many buildings, almost like a huge training ground.

In several directions of the training ground, many buildings were clustered together.

At first glance, it looked more like a training facility.

However, at this moment, the training ground was empty, with no one around.
