The Black Dragon indifferently gave him a glance, it didn’t contain any emotion, or more specifically it was rather simplistic. But it was the same as the dragon speech it used; this simplicity contained a complex message. Chen Chang Sheng only met the dragon’s gaze for a moment, but it felt as if he had seen innumerable stars and had received a large amount of information the dragon had wanted to convey.
The abandoned well’s creation was personally overseen by Wang Zhi Ce and was the Life Gate of the array that formed the prison for the Black Dragon, just akin to how the Black Dragon Pond that was located within the derelict garden was the Life Gate of Tong Palace.
The bottom of the well originally had a net that was woven from three strands of a special alloy, which served the function of keeping the array’s Life Gate functional, and ensuring that citizens of the Capital did not accidentally fall into the well and end up becoming food for the dragon. Not long ago however – Chen Chang Sheng couldn’t make out how long this “not long ago” actually was, it could have been decades ago or maybe just days – from the Imperial Palace, someone retrieved the three strands of alloyed net for some unknown reason.
