Chapter 809: Return to the Ruins of the King's Capital of Loren
"Become the subordinate of the adults?"
Sarah looked at Lei Xiao's sincere face and said incredulously, "How can a little girl be favored by adults?"
"We will face a massive life-and-death challenge in the near future, and the Secret Treasure of Loren's royal family that you can unlock is a key link for me to improve my strength, which is crucial for the next life-and-death battle."
Lei Xiao nodded to Sarah, and said solemnly: "In other words, your appearance will affect the direction of the next thing to a large extent, and even directly relate to the life and death of the territory. Naturally, it is very important. of."
"In addition, my identity as the lord of another world is no longer a secret, and you must have already known it."
Having said that, Lei Xiao looked directly into Sarah's starry eyes, and asked again: "How is it? Are you willing to be my slave?"
"Little girl is willing!"
Sarah nodded without hesitation, her delicate face was full of excitement and said: "It's my little girl's wish to be able to help the adults!"
In the midst of being excited, I saw Sarah, who got off the bed, knelt down in front of Lei Xiao, and solemnly said: "Sarah Loren, my subordinate, is willing to swear allegiance to the lord!"
"Very well, let's start signing the contract directly."
Lei Xiao's heart skipped a beat, and a first-order recruitment order made of wood appeared between his two fingers.
It didn't take long, the familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears soon.
[Congratulations, Sarah Loren, the first-rank seven-star sword fighter, has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate!
"Sarah, from this moment on, you will no longer have to travel around the world."
Lei Xiao leaned down to help the young female mercenary in front of him, and said seriously: "Our home is the territory, and you have already become a part of the territory."
"It's an honor to be able to live on the same land as the lord!"
Sarah was already so excited that tears filled her eyes, and she began to jump for joy.
Lei Xiao casually opened the opponent's attribute bar.
Name: Sarah
Occupation: Gladiator
[Class: Tier 1 Seven Stars]
Loyalty: 100
[Skill 1: Diagonal Slash "Active" (Physical Single Target Attack)]
[Skill 2: Double stab "Active" (physical single target attack)]
[Skill 3: One-handed sword mastering "passive" (when using a one-handed sword, the damage is slightly increased)]
"Sure enough, it is an extremely ordinary panel, almost the same as an ordinary soldier, but when you think about it carefully, this is also reasonable."
Lei Xiao closed the opponent's attribute bar, and nodded thoughtfully.
It is not difficult to see from Sarah's description that after thousands of years of vicissitudes, her ancestors have long abandoned everything about the Loren royal family.
In her generation, it can be said that there are only four walls, and it is not easy to survive in the chaos of war.
"But what we are about to go to is, after all, the treasure land of the glorious dynasty thousands of years ago. Perhaps Sarah's ancestors will leave some inheritance for Sarah, so that she can revitalize the blood of the Loren family."
"It doesn't matter if I don't have it. If I want, Sarah will soon be able to reach a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and a look of anticipation flooded his face again.
Now that everything is ready, it is natural to go to the ruins of King Loren's capital to hunt for treasure.
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates beside him and said, "Everyone, get ready, we will set off in a while."
"Obey! Your lord!"
The subordinates saluted their chests and said in unison.
After that, since it was noon, Lei Xiao and his main subordinates had a hearty lunch at the City Lord's Mansion.
After the meal, Lei Xiao ordered Jiang Li to send over the other main subordinates who were also full and on standby in the territory.
"Is everything here?"
In the bright and spacious meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Lei Xiao looked at the subordinates around him and nodded with satisfaction.
Except Jiang Gracilaria, Polygonum cuspidatum, Hong Ye, Ariel and Sarah.
Lei Xiao also brought Lian, Gals, Erusa, Ye Cang, Xiaoya, Nanxing, Nanyue, Zhaoyan, Lina, and Fang Hai, forming a total of sixteen people, including those who are strong in physics, magic A luxurious exploration team of various professions such as strong men, archaeologists, dark priests, illusionists, necromancers, alchemists, and blacksmiths.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that although the ruins of King Loren's capital were within his sphere of influence, this exploration operation was of great importance after all, and the possibility of traps could not be ruled out, so it was natural that he should not be careless.
Beside Lei Xiao, Sarah, whose strength was only at the first level, almost fainted when she saw the main subordinates gathered around her.
She has never seen so many high-ranking powerhouses gathered together!
"The lord is really extraordinary."
Sarah's starry eyes flickered, and she couldn't help casting a reverent gaze at Lei Xiao again.
"Okay, let's go and witness the final glory of the Kingdom of Loren."
Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze and nodded to Jiang Li.
Immediately afterwards, a bright light gray light flashed, and the group of people disappeared in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Kongqing Town in an instant.
When Lei Xiao's vision became clear again, he was already in the extremely gorgeous meeting hall of the Lord's Mansion of Lan Leng Castle.
Since Marquis Rose, who is the lord of the city, was stabilizing the situation and recruiting new soldiers in Songluo City, Lei Xiao didn't stay too long, but went straight to the ruins of King Loren's capital.
In order to ensure the speed, and because Sarah only had the first level, Lei Xiao directly chose to let Jiang Li to teleport all the way.
As the surrounding scene continued to change, not long after, a group of sixteen people stood in front of the extremely dense forest.
"It's amazing. The Songyin Mountains are in front of you, right? I didn't expect to come here so soon, almost across the vast eastern part of Lengyan."
Sarah couldn't believe her eyes, and exclaimed, "It's like a dream."
And Fang Hai, Lina and other subordinates who received the teleportation for the first time also had surprised expressions on their faces, recalling the wonderful lightness that just flashed in their minds.
Looking at the dense trees in front of him, Lei Xiao signaled his subordinates to start walking into the forest, and at the same time told Sarah about seeing the mirage at the beginning, and the other party was amazed.
After describing the mirage, Lei Xiao started from the dimensional storm, until he found a series of things about Fang Hai family patriarch Xiao Er in the Lost Sword Tomb, and described them all.
After all, compared with the lineup at the beginning of the exploration, the number of strong men under Lei Xiao's command has long been different, so that many of the exploration team this time are subordinates who joined after that.
"As for the lost sword mound where Mr. Fang Hai's ancestor Shaw is, we won't bother this time."
"After all, the energy in the magical pendant that the old gentleman is carrying is running low, causing him to fall into a deep sleep. Unless we can undo the powerful petrification spell that seals him, at least a fifth-level healing system that needs to be proficient in the corresponding purification spell Only the strong can do it."
Lei Xiao nodded to his subordinates, and continued: "So, we have only one destination this time, and that is the central square of King Loren's capital, where the lost secret treasure was buried."
"Obey! Your lord!"
The subordinates around Lei Xiao all responded respectfully.
As the group of people went deeper into the dense forest at the foot of the Songyin Mountains, they could occasionally see broken walls and ruins surrounded by vines.
All of a sudden, a simple and desolate natural atmosphere poured into the nostrils of the group of people.
"Is this the ruins of King Loren's capital?"
Sarah, who was closely following Lei Xiao, blinked her clear starry eyes, looked at the broken stone pillars and broken walls half buried in the soil, and couldn't help muttering to herself: "My ancestors did their best here. With all its strength, it resisted the crazy attack of the alliance army, and did not give in until the last moment."
After speaking, Sarah's vision was blurred, as if she had already felt the billowing gunpowder smoke and the shouts of killing resounding through the sky.
Lei Xiao didn't speak when he heard the sound, but let Sarah experience the bravery and fearlessness of her ancestors alone.
Perhaps only in this way can this descendant of the Loren royal family get some comfort, and be closer to the ancestors of the year in spirit.
Walking along this deeper and deeper forest ruins, because of the previous exploration, Lei Xiao and his party didn't take much effort to arrive at the ruins of the central square where the royal family's secret treasure was located.
Standing on the edge of the ruins of the square already covered by dense forest, Lei Xiao observed.
The scene here is exactly the same as last time.
The giant horse fountain in the center of the square has already disappeared, leaving only piles of rubble of different sizes, covered with moss and weeds, still telling the glory of the year.
Around the remains of the fountain, it has already been covered by intertwined towering trees and dense bushes.
With the irregular light spots projected from the gaps in the branches and leaves, it is full of vitality everywhere.
"My lord, except for the newly added footprints of monsters, this place is the same as when we left last time, and there are no traces of people."
A slender black shadow descended from the sky, and Nan Xing, who had just finished exploring the way, suddenly appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Lei Xiao nodded to the assassin's twin sister in front of him, and ordered: "Nan Xing, you and Nan Yue guard around the square, and the others follow me to the ruins of the fountain in the center."
Accompanied by the neat responses from his subordinates, Lei Xiao soon came to the center of the ruins of the forest square.
"My lord, the atmosphere of magic prohibition is the strongest there, and it should be where the entrance is."
After a thorough investigation, Hong Ye pointed to a ruin made of rubble.
"Understood."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and walked straight over.
"My lord, how on earth are you going to open the entrance to this secret treasure?"
Following Lei Xiao to the side of the ruins, Sarah couldn't help but look puzzled: "This subordinate doesn't know any magic."
"This kind of magic restriction opened by blood only needs to be approached by people with the corresponding blood."
Lei Xiao recalled the scene when Xueya entered the ice cave before, nodded to Sarah and said, "Put your hand on the ground and try it, you are the key to unlock this magic prohibition, no other special operations are required. "
"Obey, my lord."
Sarah stroked her chest in salute, then bent down and squatted down, pressing her hands tightly to the weedy ground.
Sure enough, the moment Sarah's hands touched the ground, as if she had touched some kind of invisible switch, an indigo magic circle appeared out of nowhere from the ground, and then began to spin.
As the speed of rotation on the magic circle became faster and faster, the indigo blue reflected on it also became more intense.
After a while, I only heard a "click" sound similar to a key unlocking.
The land in front of it began to sag downward automatically, and a large amount of soil and gravel "sanded" and slid down, and a spacious downward stone passage was displayed in front of the group of people.
"It's interesting, is this the passage to the lost treasure?"
With a look of anticipation on his face, Lei Xiao waved his hands at his subordinates and said, "It's not too late, let's go down and have a look."
Then, under the lead of the knotweed and Hong Ye, the group of people entered this deep passage directly.
The moment Sarah, who was closely following Lei Xiao, stepped into the passage, a large number of magic light spheres suddenly lit up, making this originally deep passage suddenly bright as day.
"It is somewhat similar to Crystal Blue City, which is a land of gods."
Lei Xiao began to look around with the help of the illuminated magic ball of light.
I saw a large number of primitive reliefs engraved on the walls on both sides of the passage.
As for the content of the wall sculptures, most of them are knights galloping on war horses. The mighty and majestic figures symbolize that this place was once a country of knights famous among the nations of the human race.
Among them, many wall sculptures depict a knight holding a holy sword and wearing a crown at the head of the horse, leading other knights to charge into battle, some of them sweep away monsters, some of them fight bravely, and they look very majestic.
"As expected of a country that takes chivalry as its code of conduct, it is really extraordinary."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and couldn't help but secretly marveled in his heart.
Although the exquisiteness of these wall carvings is far less than that of Crystal Blue City, they give people a sense of sonorous and powerful, and still exude the charm of the **** battles of the knights in the past.
And Sarah, who was closely following Lei Xiao, staring in her starry ~ looked at these wall sculptures representing the unyielding will of the ancestors, her face was full of excitement, obviously immersed in the heroic appearance of the ancestors back then .
Accompanied by the slightly ethereal footsteps of a group of people, it echoed in the downward passage.
It didn't take long before an extremely solid metal gate blocked the group of people.
Judging from the occasional flashes of strong magical light on the mottled gate, it is obvious that it is also protected by magical prohibition.
"My lord, leave it to your subordinates."
Sarah touched her chest and saluted, and after getting Lei Xiao's approval, she walked quickly to the front door.
She first took a deep breath slowly, then stretched out her hands reverently, and touched the door.
The moment she touched the door lightly, there was a heavy metal friction sound, and the door opened inwards.
At this point, this ancient treasure land that had been lost for thousands of years was completely revealed in front of Lei Xiao and his party.
