Chapter 243 Sand City
Chapter 243 Sand City
The City of Sand.
As the largest city in the Sand Kingdom, Sand Capital is naturally extremely prosperous, with bustling streets and endless buildings, truly befitting the status of a national capital.
Logically, with war raging in the North, other cities in the country should be somewhat affected. However, Sand City still appears to be as prosperous as ever, with pedestrians still on the streets, and it's packed with people at noon.
Lin Tian also mingled in the crowd. Although the gate checks in Sand City were stricter than in other cities, it wasn't a big problem for those who wanted to get in. Not to mention that Lin Tian had the ability to transform and move freely, making it easy for him to sneak in.
After entering the capital, he did not rush to the palace. After all, it was his first time here, and if he wandered around without knowing the situation, he might end up getting hurt.
He plans to first understand the situation in the capital before making any further plans.
Speaking of which, I triggered a quest after entering the Sand City.
Investigate the secrets of the Sand Kingdom's royal family. Quest reward: [?]
Although the mission reward is currently unknown, judging from past rewards, the system's rewards are usually quite generous. This mission clearly involves infiltrating the royal palace, and since Lin Tian will be infiltrating the palace anyway, it would be best if he could do it while he's at it.
Alright, now Lin Tian will begin exploring the city. However, before he starts, Lin Tian needs to disguise himself. After all, Ji Jia already knows his appearance, and since he is unsure whether Ji Jia knows he is here, he should be careful.
This is still his territory after all; even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.
Even so, Lin Tian did not consider himself a powerful dragon. On the contrary, he felt that he was more like a snake than Ji Jia, a venomous snake that had always been hiding in the shadows.

boom! ! !
boom! ! !
The sound of breaking continued to echo. Outside the door of a luxurious bedroom, several servants trembled, each with the same thought in their minds.
Will Your Highness torture them later?
The prince in their hearts was naturally Jiga, the second prince of the Sand Kingdom.
At this moment, he was throwing a tantrum in the room because the scarred man's mission had failed. His eyes were bloodshot, and he had smashed all his precious collections on the ground. Clearly, he was extremely angry.
Not far from him stood a man in a robe with eagle feathers. He had long, black hair and wore a full-face golden eagle mask. Although he was just standing there, he exuded an aura of transcendence.
His identity was naturally not simple either; he was the deputy commander of the Eagle Guard. People did not know his name and usually just called him Yu Er.
At this moment, Yu Er was quietly watching Ji Jia smash things. Although he didn't speak and his face was covered by the Golden Eagle Mask, his slightly bowed posture clearly showed that he and Ji Jia had a relationship similar to that of master and servant.
Given his extraordinary status, it's puzzling that even the second prince of the Sand Kingdom wouldn't be able to command such obsequiousness from him.
"Why? Why did we fail?"
After venting his anger for a long time, perhaps due to exhaustion, Jiga gradually calmed down, but he stopped what he was doing and continued to mutter resentfully.
Yu Er thought he was being questioned, after all, he had also sent two Eagle Guards to investigate, but so far, many of them had not returned. So he thought for a moment and was about to speak when he heard Ji Jia say something.
"He's here...he's here..."
"He's here!!!"
Suddenly, Jiga's expression became extremely agitated. If you looked closely, you could see that he was holding the Earring Wrath in his hand, and his change in expression occurred when the Earring Wrath began to emit light.
"That guy?"
Yuuji didn't look at the Ear-Listening Wrath in Jiga's hand. It was unclear whether he couldn't see it or was choosing to ignore it. Instead, he started to pay attention to the "him" that Jiga mentioned.
If Yuuji is not mistaken, the guy Jiga is talking about is the one who angered him and tried to assassinate him.
he came?
What do you mean?
Could it be that we've arrived in the capital?
"Your Highness, you mean..."
"Yes."
"He arrived in the Sand City..."
Lin Tian's guess was correct. Ji Jia had already learned of his movements through an unknown means and knew that he had infiltrated the capital.
At this moment, Jiga was tightly gripping his ear, his expression furious and ferocious. But despite his appearance, if you looked closely at his face, you could see that he was still somewhat flustered.
It seems that Lin Tian's infiltration was somewhat unexpected for Ji Jia, but he was more afraid than anything else. He was afraid that Lin Tian would steal his treasure, and because of this fear, he was angry.
Yu Er's eyes, hidden behind his mask, widened slightly in shock. If this were true, he would be quite surprised.
He had initially thought that the person was just an ordinary superhuman, at most someone with some skill. But now, after experiencing Giga's assassination attempt, instead of trying to hide, he infiltrated the capital. The meaning of this was self-evident.
Where is he now?
“I will personally go to help Your Highness get rid of him.”
Yu Er's tone was relatively even when he said this, which indirectly confirmed his confidence.
However, he did have reason to be confident. As the deputy commander of the Eagle Guard, he naturally possessed the strength of a Gold-rank expert. When His Majesty took many experts out, his strength was undoubtedly among the top in the capital.
With his abilities, killing a slightly stronger superhuman would be a piece of cake. Even if that guy was very likely to be at the Gold Rank, Yu Er was still confident. After all, he was an Eagle Guard, and Eagle Guards... were best at killing.
"I don't know yet. All I know is that he came to the capital."
"He must be lurking in the shadows right now, and then... and then... plotting against my precious child."
"No! No!"
"Don't take my baby away!"
Once the issue of hearing anger is raised, Ji Jia's emotions become extremely agitated. Perhaps knowing that Lin Tian is lurking in the shadows, Ji Jia can no longer tolerate it and immediately orders Yu Er to search for Lin Tian throughout the city.
"Find it! You must find it for me!"
"I will bring this thief to justice!"
"Swallow them whole!!!"
