Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

Chapter 479: Vanishing Shiraoi

Chapter 479: Vanishing Shiraoi

"Isn't the light of the magic tower on?"

Hearing this, a pensive expression appeared on Lei Xiao's face.

With a better understanding of the world, he clearly understands.

The so-called magic tower is the place where magicians are stationed.

Most of these special buildings serve the function of supplying magic power, and are generally located at the center of magic barriers, which are more common.

Moreover, the tower is also inlaid with various functional magic circles, such as maximizing the output of magic power, speeding up the recovery of magic power, and so on.

As for the difference between the magic enchantment and the magic circle, it is also simple.

The magic enchantment is also called a composite magic circle.

It itself is composed of complex numbers, even hundreds of different types of magic circles, assembled through special connection methods.

Of course, although it is simple to say, every magic barrier can be called a sophisticated magic machine.

Not only is it extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive to build, but also the commissioning before the official launch and the maintenance after operation require a lot of effort.

In addition, the magic tower is also divided into two types: bright tower and dark tower.

Just like in the literal sense, Mingta is under everyone's nose, able to deter opponents at all times.

The dark tower is in a hidden place, just like the hard-to-find detection magic barrier, only when the enemy bumps into it head-on will they realize that something is wrong.

"From Jubai's words, we can know that the castle located in the center of the fortress was originally covered with an efficient detection barrier, and the center is obviously a Ming Tower."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao looked up in the direction that Jubai looked up.

I saw that at the highest point of the entire castle, there was indeed a sharp square tower.

At present, this magic tower looks gloomy, and there is no trace of magician's breath, rippling out of it, it really doesn't look like someone is inside.

"The magic tower is the key to the castle's detection barrier. Why do you want to remove the magician from it and stop the entire barrier?"

On the other side, Bert's expression became more serious, and he asked Ao Gu at the side in a deep voice.

"My lord, General Axe, doesn't know anything. According to the latest information I have, the elite spies newly recruited by the Holy Night Army have superb concealment skills. The existing detection barrier in the castle can hardly stop their footsteps."

Aogu bowed slightly to Bert, and responded: "Thus, after discussing with many magic consultants in the fortress, the villain decided to strengthen the detection strength of the current enchantment, and it is estimated that it will be completed tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Ao Gu smiled slightly, and added: "Of course, because the place where the old general Bai retreated is very hidden, no one else knows about it except the villain, so it will not be affected by the stoppage of the barrier. .

"So that's how it is."

Hearing this, Burt and Jubai looked at each other, but stopped talking.

Since the current detection enchantment has had little effect on the enemy.

Then, if it was them instead, they would naturally make the same choice.

"If the two generals have no other questions, please follow the villain in to rest."

Seeing that the scene had calmed down again, Aogu continued to maintain a smile on his face. While signaling the surrounding Lengyan soldiers to open the gate of the castle, he bowed to Ariel and said, "Your Highness, this way please."

"Thank you." Ariel said lightly with a slight nod.

Next, accompanied by the heavy friction sound of the giant castle metal door opening.

Lei Xiao, who followed Ariel and the three into the castle, noticed.

Compared with the heavily guarded outside of the castle, the interior of the castle is obviously much cleaner. Except for the unarmed servants, there are almost no guards to be seen.

In this way, along the quaint and spacious corridor all the way forward.

It didn't take long for Aogu to stop in front of a large living room.

I saw him welcoming the three of Ariel and his own three into the room, and said: "His Royal Highness, please wait here for a while, the villain will go to prepare the materials of the latest battle situation and report later .

After finishing speaking, Ao Gu left a group of soldiers guarding the entrance of the hall, then he closed the door gently and left with a bow.

After Ao Gu left, Lei Xiao secretly ordered the two hidden under the cloak, Hu Zhang and Hong Ye, to check the situation in the room and confirm that there was nothing suspicious.

Immediately, he motioned for Polygonum cuspidatum to appear, and with his breath, completely isolated the whole hall from the outside world.

In this way, one's own side in the room can still perceive the outside world normally, but the outside world cannot detect one's own side's voice at all.

In addition, the soldiers guarding the door were only at the second level, so naturally they couldn't find any clues.

"Aren't you a little too cautious? This is my Leng Yan's territory."

Seeing this, Ariel, who had just sat down, frowned slightly, and blurted out.

"I said, dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, don't you notice anything unusual?"

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao's mind was moved, and then he took out a set of tea sets and kettles that came with him, and began to make tea on his own under the heat of Chaoyan.

"Abnormal? Are you talking about old General Bai?"

Hearing this, Ariel's fair face suddenly showed a look of contemplation.

Thoughtfully said: "At this time, it is indeed somewhat understandable to choose an advanced fifth-level powerhouse, but as Aogu said, if Bai Lao wants to deter the enemy, it is not impossible. "

"However, if others choose to fight with their backs at this time, it may be understandable, but Bai Lao, known as the general of the fortress, has always been known for his sophistication and stability."

On the other side, Orange White Liu frowned, and said, "This is also the main reason why the city it defended never fell."

"That's right, Old General Bai would never take such a risk easily."

Burt on the side also nodded in agreement.

"Then what do you mean...Bai Lao has not advanced to the fifth-level powerhouse now, and all this is just Aogu's one-sided words?"

Hearing this, Ariel's originally calm expression suddenly became a little nervous, and then said: "Where is Bai Lao now?"

"Two possibilities."

With a slight nod towards Ariel, Lei Xiao made himself a cup of tea and said, "The first one is an excuse fabricated by Aogu under Bailao's behest to cover up his whereabouts. Currently in the camp of the Holy Night Army."

"You mean Bai Lao has rebelled?!"

Seeing Ariel's expression of disbelief, she hurriedly asked, "What about the second possibility?"

"The second type, of course, is that it is not Bai Lao who rebelled, but Lieutenant General Ao Gu. As for where Bai Lao is now, it is even more obvious."

Looking directly into Ariel's starry eyes, Lei Xiao paused for a moment, and continued: "There are only two possibilities. He has been killed by the deputy general Ao Gu, or he has been imprisoned somewhere."

"However, Bai Lao is the strength of a fourth-order peak powerhouse, surrounded by a cloud of personal guards, how can he be subdued by Aogu who has not yet reached the level of a fourth-order senior powerhouse?"

Hearing this, Ariel stood up from her seat, her fair face was full of disbelief.

After pondering for a moment, Ariel's slender eyelashes flickered, and she asked again: "In the final analysis, all this is just your speculation. What is the substantive basis?"

"According to a total of three points."

Signaling Chao Yan to pass Ai Lier a cup of steaming fragrant tea, Lei Xiao took a sip of the tea and responded, "The first point is the weird behavior of Bai Lao that Ao Gu mentioned just now."

Gently waving his hand, signaling to Ariel to stay calm, Lei Xiao continued: "The second point is Ao Gu's weird behavior."

"Ogu's weird behavior?"

Blinking her starry eyes in confusion, Ariel asked, "How do you say that?"

"When we first met, the other party chatted with us for a long time when the gate of the fortress was open, and it seemed that he was not in a hurry to close the gate. This is one of them."

Shaking the teacup in his hand, Lei Xiao began to explain: "Besides, the other party has never asked about the origin of those Lengyan residents. This is the second."

"That's true. If you think about it carefully, those poor residents were rescued from the enemy's control area after all. There is no doubt that there is a possibility that the Holy Night Army disguised themselves. As an uninformed person, Ao Gu should ask more or less. of."

Hearing this, Ariel nodded thoughtfully.

"In addition, the other party's face has always been filled with a relaxed smile, completely without the tension and caution that a commander with a heavy responsibility should have."

Having said that, Lei Xiao drank all the tea in one gulp, and then concluded: "Unless he clearly understands in his heart, the Holy Night Army will never attack the fort right now!"

"It makes sense. When I was talking to him, I always felt that there was something wrong with the other party. It turned out to be because of this reason."

Also took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, Ariel, who was holding the white porcelain cup, nodded slightly and said: "The enemy seems to be a little too nervous."

"As for the third point, which is also the last point, it is based on you, the fifth princess."

Putting down his drained teacup, Lei Xiao looked directly into Ariel's starry eyes, and spoke again.

"What do you mean when it comes to me?"

Hearing this, Ariel asked with a puzzled look on her delicate face.

"From the first time we met, Augu never asked you why you and the two kingdom generals came from, but always invited you to go to this castle as soon as possible."

At this time, Lei Xiao continued to walk slowly in the living room, "It can be seen from this that what he cares about is not why you appear here, but how to keep you here!"

"You mean that Augu intends to do something to us?"

Hearing this, Ariel's expression became tense again.

"That's right, using this mountain fortress and Lengyan's fifth princess as a testimonial, no matter whether Bailao or Aogu is behind the scenes, it is enough to be promoted to the Holy Night Kingdom and enjoy all the glory and wealth."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao responded lightly.

On the other side, in shock, Ariel first put down the teacup in her hand.

He opened his mouth again and said, "However, including your subordinates, on the bright side, we have four fourth-tier powerhouses and two third-tier peak powerhouses, so how could Ao Gu be an opponent?"

"Your Royal Highness, what you said is wrong."

I saw Bert nodded to Lei Xiao first, and then said: "From the current situation, the strong men of the Holy Night Army must have infiltrated here. This can be seen from the magic tower where the light is not there. One or two."

"So, the other party is really planning to attack me?"

Taking a deep breath, Ariel said with a serious face: "How many strong people are here?"

"Your Highness, in this castle, apart from the detection barrier just now, there are several powerful concealment barriers of different sizes that can be used for hiding. They seem to be in normal operation at present."

On the other side, Jubai shook his head helplessly and said, "Therefore, it is natural that we cannot perceive the specific number of powerful people on the other side."

"Then our situation, isn't it extremely passive?"

Dai Mei frowned, and Ariel spoke again.

"Don't worry, it's not that bad."

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao explained: "First of all, our arrival is an unexpected event, and there is no time for the other party to prepare in advance. Therefore, there should not be too many Holy Night experts here."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "Secondly, since the opponent has closed the concealment barrier and does not want to trigger the castle's alarm, it undoubtedly shows that most of the strong men and soldiers in the fortress are also kept in the dark Therefore, the other party's accomplices will not be too many."

"Finally, and most importantly..."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao patted the knotweed standing respectfully beside him, smiled lightly and said, "The other party would never have expected that there would be a fifth-order powerhouse on our side as the trump card, so it is naturally foolproof. "

"Then, why don't we capture the thief first, capture the king first, and directly preempt the attack, how about taking down Aogu?"

Hearing this, Ariel's starry eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to say.

"Currently, the mastermind behind the scenes is still unclear. If we do this, it will be tantamount to scaring the enemy. At the same time, it will also let go of the powerful Holy Night Army hidden in the dark."

Shaking his head ~Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "As the so-called clever hunters often appear in the form of prey, since the other party wants to attack us, we must take advantage of this opportunity, Sweep the other side out."

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and then said: "If my prediction is correct, the opponent will definitely choose to separate us as mercenaries from the three of you with limited strength, and then defeat them one by one."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao nodded to the burly man in front of him first, and then continued to say to Ariel: "The knotweed will follow the three of you in the dark for a while, and if there is an emergency, I will help you. You are safe."

"Understood... But, let the powerful fifth-order powerhouse follow us, and if the other party attacks you first, what will you do?"

Nodding her head slightly, Ariel couldn't help but worry.

"I don't need Her Royal Highness to worry about this."

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao immediately said, "Then, let us work together to wipe out all the masterminds behind the scenes here and the powerhouses of the Holy Night Army."
