Chapter 1042: Secrets deep in the mountains

"Oh? Please give me some advice from Mr. Xiaoer."

In the hall of the healing center filled with holy light, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up, and he nodded to Fang Hai to help his ancestor on the bench beside him, and asked quickly.

"Your Excellency, according to your description, the specific location of Luolong City is at the pass of the Baibu Mountains in the north of the ruins of the royal capital of Loren, which is an important exit from this area to the outside world."

Xiaoer sat down on the bench, nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "Thousands of years ago, there was also an important border area of the Kingdom of Loren, called Forging Iron City."

"It's true. The territory of the Kingdom of Loren back then was almost a replica of the eastern region of Lengyan today, and the Forged Iron City is indeed today's Luolong City."

The white knight nodded thoughtfully and agreed in a deep voice.

"It's just that the Forged Iron City was occupied by the enemy before the fall of King Loren's capital, and was later destroyed several times in troubled times."

"It wasn't until His Majesty the King of Heroes established the Cold Flame Kingdom and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to rebuild the Forged Iron City that today's Luolong City emerged."

At this point, the white knight seemed to realize something, and suddenly said: "By the way, Forging Iron City was the fiefdom of the Qiandian family back then. Is there any unknown secret hidden there?"

"Yes, although I am extremely ashamed, I was the patriarch of the Qiandian Family at that time and knew everything about the Forged Iron City."

Old Xiao sighed softly, and then said seriously: "At that time, in order to prevent the Alliance army from finding another way to attack the royal capital from the Forged Iron City, I once led the Qiandian family to completely reinforce the Forged Iron City and set up a large amount of magic outside the city. Trap.

"During this process, a tribesman once reported that he accidentally discovered an ancient warehouse of an unknown race deep underground in the Baibu Mountains next to Luolong City, which contained a large number of alchemy puppets."

"However, when I led the crowd to check, the warehouse magically disappeared, as if it had never appeared."

"After that, even though I used all my power, including inviting the most knowledgeable fifth-level palace mage in the kingdom, Mr. Rooney, to come and investigate, I was unable to find any trace of the warehouse again."

"In addition, at that time, the Alliance Army was already approaching the border in large numbers, and everyone in the kingdom was panicked. His Majesty the old king even led the White Knights and others to the front line, where they were engaged in a fierce battle with their opponents."

"So, the matter was finally shelved until the Forged Iron City was captured by the Alliance Army and the Alliance Army besieged the Royal Capital."

At this point, Lao Xiao shook his head helplessly.

"It turns out there is such a thing."

After listening to Old Xiao's description, the White Knight pondered for a moment, and then asked doubtfully: "Your Excellency Rooney is a fifth-level nine-star magician. Even the wisest man in the Loren Kingdom at the time did not find any trace of him. Could it be that he was just a thousand-forged man?" Is that member of the family experiencing some kind of hallucination?

"Lance, many people had the same idea as you at that time, so in the end, even I was shaken and felt that it was all just an illusion."

Old Xiao nodded to the white knight and responded: "After all, the underground of Forged Iron City is an ancient ruins of the dwarves. How could there be an ancient warehouse of an unknown race storing a large number of alchemy puppets next to it? This is obviously not right. Its in line with common sense.

"However, during the thousand years since I was petrified, I have carefully recalled everything that happened at that time countless times, and finally came to another conclusion, that is, that unknown ancient ruins did exist. No, maybe that ruins have always existed. Right there.

Old Xiao'er looked solemn and said firmly: "Because every time I go there to look for it, everything is covered up so perfectly that even the tribesman can't find the entrance at all, and it's even difficult to discern the direction. It's like being trapped. It seems that some kind of power is deliberately hidden."

"Lord Ancestor, are you saying that some kind of illusion may have been cast there?"

Fang Hai pondered for a moment, then his old face suddenly enlightened.

"Most likely, this is the only reasonable explanation and our only hope."

Old Xiao nodded heavily and responded: "According to that tribesman, the alchemy puppets he saw were like a well-trained army, tens of thousands of them neatly arranged deep in the ruins. "

"You know, there is no first-level alchemy puppet. The lowest level is at the second or even third level."

"If we can successfully activate such a number of alchemy puppets, coupled with the defenders of Luolong City, it is not impossible to resist the invading orc army!"

After hearing what Lao Xiao said, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

As we all know, given the same strength and proper command, the combat effectiveness of a golem puppet that is not afraid of pain and does not tire is much greater than that of ordinary soldiers.

On this basis, the overall strength of the alchemy puppet that can perform self-recovery is even better than that of the golem puppet.

In terms of combat power alone, ten thousand fully armed second-level alchemy puppets are enough to be much more powerful than any of the most elite human legions!

From this, just like what the other party said, if we can obtain the control rights of tens of thousands of alchemy puppets, even the lowest level second-level puppets will play an extremely important role!

This is enough for our Luolong City defenders, who are unable to resist the orc army, to see a glimmer of hope in contending with the opponent!

As for why a warehouse filled with alchemy puppets of an unknown race appeared near the ruins of the dwarves, Lei Xiao didn't find it strange. This was naturally because of the "displaced object effect" that had not yet been solved.

And with the help of the stone elf Xiao Huan, we can easily unlock the disguise of any illusion below level five.

"Mr. Shore, thank you for providing this important clue. Perhaps we can find the hidden ancient ruins warehouse."

Lei Xiao lightly snapped his fingers, nodded to the ancestor of the Qiandian family and said: "We don't have much time left to prepare, so I'll ask Mr. Xiao to lead the way."

"I'll be happy to obey."

Xiao Er raised his chest and saluted, and said respectfully to Lei Xiao.

"Then let's get ready to go."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then started to read and gather other main followers.

In addition to everyone present, for the sake of safety, Lei Xiao also ordered Jiang Lei to pick up Hong Ye, Nolan and Qi Duo, a total of three fifth-level powerhouses.

Coupled with Jiang Li, Xiao Er and White Knight, who are also fifth-level powerhouses, there are six fifth-level powerhouses accompanying the team.

"There will be no problems with you, Wu Zhi, the newly joined fifth-level powerhouses Bernie, and Ariel and others. I hope we can gain something this time."

Under the hazy moonlit night, Lei Xiao stood at the door of the mansion, looking at the assembled team, then nodded to Jiang Lei and said, "Let's set off."

With Jiang Li holding her chest and saluting, the group of people disappeared into the night in an instant.

When Lei Xiao's surroundings became clear again, he had arrived in the bright hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Luolong City.

"This subordinate has met the lord!"

I saw Hongshi, brothers Ned and Nate, and brothers Lisha and Reese stationed here immediately surrounding them with respectful expressions on their faces.

Although the defense of Luolong City is relatively weak, except for Hongshi, who is the Goblin King, and the generals of the Eight Kingdoms and many palace ministers in the first echelon, the rest are undoubtedly very capable people under Lei Xiao's command. The second echelon of civil servants and generals became subordinates.

"No need to be polite, please continue to strengthen the city's defenses and deploy magic traps as much as possible outside the city. I will go and give Luolong City a corner of hope to resist the orc army."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then, under Jiang Li's further transmission, he disappeared into the hall with a group of powerful men, leaving only the five people who came to greet him standing there and looking at each other in confusion.

"Except for the fact that Senior Huzhang and Mr. Wu are not here, there are actually so many fifth-level powerhouses around the Lord."

After a while, Lixia's starry eyes flickered, her red lips slightly parted and she said, "The Lord is really an unfathomable existence."

"That's right, although the enemy is at hand, as long as the lord is still there, we can see the dawn of hope!"

Hongshi's dark green face was full of excitement, and immediately he followed Lei Xiao's order and started working with others with high morale.

On the other side, Lei Xiao and his group climbed over mountains and ridges under the vast moonlit night, and soon arrived near the area described by Xiaoer.

This is a small depression in the mountains, surrounded by high mountains. It looks quiet and deep in the dark night.

It's no wonder that under the intimidation of the six fifth-level powerhouses, even the demonic insects that could sense a trace of energy fluctuations had already fled without a trace.

"After thousands of years, nothing much has changed here."

Xiao Er's old eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the plants and trees around him, and he couldn't help but sigh.

It can be clearly seen from the voice that although the old blacksmith's body is still relatively weak, he is already confident.

Then, after inspecting it for a moment, Lao Xiao nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "Your Excellency, please follow me this way."

Under the guidance of Lao Xiao, Lei Xiao and his party quickly arrived near a bush at the edge of the depression.

"Sir, this should be it."

Xiao'er narrowed his old eyes slightly, looked around for a while, and finally nodded to Lei Xiao.

"Understood."

Lei Xiao responded, then turned his head slightly and asked the palm-sized stone elf sitting on his shoulder: "Xiao Huan, can you sense anything?"

"Back to Lord Lord, there is indeed a faint aura of illusion here."

Xiao Huan took off from Lei Xiao's shoulders, with two pairs of transparent wings like butterflies, fluttering in mid-air for a long time, and then turned back to Lei Xiao's side and said: "However, this breath is extremely weak, as if there is no Just exist in this space.

"Doesn't exist in this space?"

Lei Xiao frowned slightly, then looked at the slender half-elf ancestor and said, "Jiang Lei, have you discovered anything?"

"Back to the lord, my subordinates can also feel a trace of space fluctuation, but it is also too weak and cannot locate the source at all."

There was a small light gray magic circle hovering on Jiang Li's palm. After sensing it for a while, she shook her head helplessly and said to Lei Xiao.

"It's interesting. No wonder Mr. Shore has never found the source of the ruins. There is indeed something weird about this place."

Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, and then said to the people behind him: "It seems that what is sealed here is not just a simple illusion circle or barrier area, but some kind of complex hidden mechanism. "

After saying this, Lei Xiao then asked: "Do you have any other means of investigation?"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, the Siren King's undead beast is seriously damaged. It will take some time before it can be put back into use."

Nolan shook his head slightly and apologized to Lei Xiao: "And the tracking rat can only sense the aura of the strong, so I'm sorry that I can't do anything."

"I don't blame you."

Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and continued to ask: "Where are the others?"

"Your Highness Prince Qi, I do have a detection method, but it is limited to physical concealment methods."

Qi Duo took a step forward and bowed respectfully to Lei Xiao.

After deciding to fight only for Lei Xiao, Qiduo had already followed Lei Xiao's lead.

"Chief Qizhao, I leave it to you."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and nodded to indicate to the other party to move freely.

After getting Lei Xiao's permission, Qi Duo flipped her slender hand, and a brown long bow that was nearly a person tall and looked extremely heavy appeared in front of everyone.

Although Qiduo completely suppressed the extraordinary splendor on it, the thick bow body engraved with magic lines and the crystal clear bow strings showed that it was obviously not extraordinary.

This is the sixth-level weapon that Lei Xiao personally upgraded, named [Broken Moon].

I saw Qi Duo's fair face full of seriousness. She held the [Broken Moon] tightly, slowly raised her bow, and aimed at the deep night.

As the bowstring gradually opened, a translucent energy arrow more than one meter long appeared on Qi Duo's fingertips.

It has to be said that under the moonlit night, the scene of Chiduo, a half-elf, raising a bow and setting an arrow is a beautiful scene.

After all, half-elves are naturally handsome, and the sassy Qi Duo is the best among them, which is evident from this.

"As expected of a former dragon-slaying warrior, every move he makes is full of strength and grace."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to observe.

When the translucent energy arrow was aimed at the cold moon in the night sky, Qiduo let go of the translucent arrow feathers, and the bowstring vibrated and released a wave of energy.

Following the sound of the string being lifted, energy arrows shot out and flew into the air.

However, the translucent arrows shot at high speed suddenly exploded before they could fly over the surrounding mountain walls, causing a stream of translucent energy visible to the naked eye to surge out and spread out in all directions.

The image of the translucent energy flow rapidly passing over the mountain wall is as if the mountain wall has been scanned, leaving a shallow trace of energy.

In the blink of an eye, as the energy flow completely disappeared, it was as if nothing had happened. Only the traces of energy remaining on the mountain wall were still emitting a faint light.

"Lord, look over there!"

Qi Duo's starry eyes lit up, and her slender fingers pointed behind Lei Xiao. (End of chapter)
