Chapter 821: Chasing the Wandering Door (Part 2)
"As the lord said, after narrowing down the search scope, the next point is to decipher the 24-character prompt."
Ariel nodded and said affirmatively: "In this way, as long as the first entry direction is correct, combined with the 24-character prompt and the resonance of [God Stone], you can find the "Wandering Gate" in the shortest possible time." up. "
After a pause, Ariel added: "And if the direction of the first approach is incorrect, we can change our thinking in time after narrowing the scope and searching to no avail, so as not to waste too much time."
"A very good idea."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then said to his subordinates: "Then, what do you guys think about the sentence "maybe wandering, maybe you can see it everywhere, maybe it's far away, maybe it's close at hand"? "
"As for myself, I prefer it to be a reminder to narrow the search scope, rather than directly revealing the specific location of the "Wandering Gate". "
Lei Xiao first took a sip of the black tea that the maid just handed over, and then said: "Let's start discussing whether this sentence is a hint to narrow the scope, or a riddle that reveals the specific location."
"Returning to the lord, the subordinates think this sentence is too broad and general, and there is no scope or explanation for guessing something. It's not like a riddle will have a fixed answer."
Marquis Rose's elegant voice came from the words: "Therefore, this subordinate also agrees with the lord's point of view. This is more like a reminder to narrow the scope. As for how to solve this reminder, this subordinate also thinks that it needs to be solved from two aspects. start from one side.
"Oh? Which two aspects?"
Lei Xiao held the warm teacup in his hand and continued to listen attentively.
"My lord, the first aspect is the literal meaning of "Wandering Gate". "
There was a little more solemnity in the elegant voice of Marquis Rose, and then he expressed his own opinion.
"The subordinates think that the word "wandering" itself means that the door is not fixed in one place, but will move or appear according to certain rules. In short, the door will never exist in the same position all the time. "
"And the second aspect is the narrowing of the scope mentioned by His Royal Highness Ariel."
"According to Her Highness Ariel's thinking and Lord Lord's analysis, we have been able to determine that the location of the "Wandering Gate" is likely to be in a certain area between Fanyin City and Shuiyue City. "
Marquis Rose's serious and steady low-pitched male voice continued to echo in the hall: "From the map, the most prominent and most likely location between Fanyin City and Shuiyue City is very obvious."
"Are the Songyin Mountains themselves and the dense forests at the foot of the surrounding mountains? It's exactly what I thought."
Lei Xiao shook the teacup in his hand, nodded slightly and said: "Let me summarize the current speculation first."
"First of all, the "Wandering Gate" is likely to be located in the vast Songyin Mountain Range between Fanyin City and Shuiyue City. "
"Secondly, the door does not always exist in a certain place, which exactly corresponds to the meaning of the word "wandering". "
"In the end, we can confirm that the 24 characters are a hint, not a riddle with a fixed answer, which also corresponds to the previous speculation, because the door will not be fixed in the same position .
Having said that, Lei Xiao put down the teacup in his hand, and continued to ask: "About the above, do other people have different opinions?"
After that, several subordinates put forward their own ideas, but they were quickly rejected by other subordinates.
In the end, everyone agreed that the idea of Ariel and Marquis Rose was the most reasonable.
"Since this is the most reasonable guess at the moment, then the next step is to further narrow down the scope of the "Wandering Gate" based on the 24-character prompt. "
Lei Xiao stood up from the throne and began to slowly walk down to the first seat: "Everyone can speak freely."
""Maybe it's up and down, maybe it can be seen everywhere, maybe it's far away, maybe it's close at hand"? "
A few green leaves in Lina's thick hair moved slightly, and she first expressed her opinion: "My lord, my subordinates think it's the place where velvet flowers bloom!"
"After blooming, the wind velvet flower will release a weak wind spell that can only be used once in a lifetime, causing the seeds to scatter with the wind, far away from the original home."
"Where the breeze stops is the place where the seeds settle down, where new velvet flowers will grow and bloom again, bringing a brand-new emerald green, which just corresponds to the four words "displaced and displaced"! "
"In the mountain woodland, this kind of magic plant that can absorb wind energy particles is also the most widely distributed, and it can be called "everywhere". "
"And at the same time when the wind velvet flowers burst out collectively, the flying seeds spread all over the mountains and plains, which corresponds to "far away in the sky" and "close in sight". "
After listening to Lina's words, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
The wind velvet flower that Lina spoke of is actually similar to a dandelion in terms of appearance and characteristics, except that it can automatically release a wind-making spell, using its own power to make the seeds float with the wind.
"This kind of magic plant with a hint of magic can indeed be seen everywhere, but at the same time it also creates a problem."
Lei Xiao's brain was running fast, and he began to think.
"Precisely because it is too common, although everything can be explained, but due to the characteristics of being happy with the situation, the growth location is very unstable, and it doesn't look like it can be used as a reference."
"However, the place where wind velvet flowers bloom is always a possibility for reference and experimentation."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao, who had already walked to the middle of the hall, turned his eyes on the surrounding subordinates again, and said, "Lina's thinking is very good, and it gave us a good start. Don't you think differently?"
"My lord, a river or a waterfall made of water also fits these 24 words very well!"
I saw Bai Wei, who had been in the territory all this time, moved her fluffy ears, stepped forward and said: "Because of the continuous flow, water in nature is undoubtedly one of the most "fluttering" substances." , is also the most "everywhere". "
"And if you stand at the bottom of a waterfall or river and look upstream, it happens to be "far away in the sky" and "near in front of you"! "
Looking at Lei Xiao who was close at Chi Chi, Bai Wei's big furry tail kept swinging back and forth behind her, and she concluded: "So my subordinates think that the specific location of the "Wandering Gate" is likely to be around a river or a waterfall. ! "
"Good idea."
Lei Xiao casually touched Bai Wei's head and fluffy ears, and nodded slightly.
Compared with wind velvet flowers, relatively fixed rivers and waterfalls are indeed easier to use as references.
"My lord, my subordinates think that some magical beast lairs with special habits are also very likely."
Xiao En, the captain of the pterosaur knights touched his chin and stood up, respectfully put forward his own ideas: "For example, the sky pterosaurs usually change their nests once a year, which can be regarded as "displaced", and the location of the nests may be in the mountains at the top, or at the bottom of the mountain..."
After that, the subordinates put forward various ideas such as "nest conjecture", "mountain rock conjecture", "yingyingying conjecture", covering almost half of the places in the mountain forest.
"Good guy, these 24 characters are really too broad. No matter how you think about it, there is a certain truth."
After listening to the thoughts of his subordinates, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and thought to himself: "However, in general, many places have been excluded, reducing the workload by half, and making the next search more targeted. , which is a huge improvement.
"My lord, my subordinates have another guess."
As a newcomer, Sarah stood up after all the subordinates had expressed their opinions: "This subordinate believes that besides these actual locations, there may be another Unreal things."
"oh?"
Hearing the new idea, Lei Xiao's dark eyes lit up, and he nodded for the other party to continue talking.
"My lord, my subordinates think that whether it is "maybe wandering, maybe you can see it everywhere", or "maybe far away in the sky, maybe it's close in front of you", there may be differences in a day. "
Sarah blinked her long and thick eyelashes and began to talk.
"For example, the movement trajectories of the sun and the moon in a day are not the same, and it can also be called "perhaps wandering, perhaps everywhere." "
"And depending on the trajectory, maybe in a certain place, you can see the sun or the moon in the sky, or you can see them reflected in the water, which just corresponds to "maybe far away in the sky, maybe close in front of you." "
After listening to Sarah's words, Lei Xiao immediately understood what the other person meant: "Sarah, you mean the specific location of the "Wandering Gate", or a certain rule mentioned by the Marquis Rose, which is actually " time"? "
"That's right, my lord, just as His Majesty Rose Marquis said, the door does not appear fixedly. The subordinates believe that this law is just "time". Only at the right time can the "Wandering Gate" be opened." Appeared, only then can it react with the God Stone. "
Sarah nodded emphatically, and continued to express her opinion: "So my subordinates suggest that we should not only explore those suspected locations once, but conduct cross-explorations at different time points. Only in this way can we ensure nothing goes wrong. .
"It makes sense, "time" is gone forever, and it really fits the word "wandering" best, just like each of us is "wandering" in "time" all the time. "
The Marquis Rose's elegant voice rang out, "My lord, this subordinate believes that Sarah's conjecture is the true meaning of the word "wandering". "
After Marquis Rose finished speaking, the other subordinates also echoed.
"The "Wandering Gate" that appears and disappears from time to time? "
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and began to make a final summary while walking towards the throne again.
"Okay, the general direction has been completely determined. The target area of the search is the Songyin Mountain Range area between Fanyin City and Shuiyue City."
"The search direction is the "windvelvet conjecture", "water flow conjecture", "nest conjecture", "mountain rock conjecture" and other places that you mentioned just now. In addition to the main powerhouses, the explorers also have half-elven wolf cavalry squadrons. "
"At the same time, Jiang Li evenly established space beacons at suspected locations, and then led Sarah to continuously use the [Stone of God] to patrol and detect according to the passage of time."
Having said that, Lei Xiao sat on the throne again, and said to his subordinates, "Do you have anything to add?"
"Return to Lord Lord, no!"
All the subordinates spoke in unison, touching their chests together and saluting.
"Then start action tomorrow morning, and strive to find the specific location of the "Wandering Gate" as soon as possible. "
Lei Xiao nodded, his eyes became more serious and he said: "Remember, the last time left for us to prepare is only three days left."
After speaking, Lei Xiao ended the meeting with a wave of his hand.
After that, the first thing Lei Xiao did was to arrange for Sarah's place to live.
After some deliberation, Lei Xiao set Sarah's room in the same room as Jubai, who is currently absent.
Sarah's future training direction is commanding subordinates. Although she has already obtained the inheritance from Loren's ancestors, she has limited actual combat experience after all. As a senior general, Jubai can undoubtedly teach Sarah more things.
After arranging Sarah's residence, the second thing Lei Xiao did was what he had thought before, ordering Jiang Li to teach the newly summoned Gray and other three magician squadrons to establish a communication network through the teleportation network.
In this way, after sending these elite magicians to each city, real-time communication between cities will be possible, which will be a leap forward.
Finally, Lei Xiao returned to the lord's office and opened the overview interface of the subordinates.
After careful inspection, Lei Xiao found out.
The two half-elf demon archers squadron and Zhusha's magician squadron have all been promoted to the third-tier level, and the newly summoned 18 elite squadrons, 36 chief and deputy commanders have also reached the third-tier level.
"That's right, that's right. In this way, I have five third-tier squadrons under my command. This is the tactical strength of each of them than a legion!"
"Combined with the gains of other combat strength in the past two days, perhaps defeating the 300,000 coalition forces of the two princes is no longer an unattainable thing!"
Lei Xiao closed the overview interface and nodded happily.
However, just when Lei Xiao was full of excitement.
On a certain main road in the hinterland of Lengyan outside Wangxing City, a large army filled with murderous intent is advancing at a high speed under the cover of night.
Judging from the flags floating under the blood moon, this is the new noble force headed by the second prince.
At the center of the black ~ a black-robed man full of hostility is riding a strong dragon and slowly advancing.
"Castle Master Kongqing, don't think that you can seriously injure us if you kill the fourth, seventh, and ninth. Those three wastes are nothing but insignificant scum."
"The Holy Night Army at the other end has stopped. You must be accumulating strength and preparing to deal with us right now? Maybe you are naive to think that you will have the hope of victory."
The murderous man in black sneered, his face hidden behind the blood-patterned white mask was full of contempt and disdain.
"The 300,000 army is just an appearance. What is waiting for you is far more terrifying than the appearance. It is all a "surprise gift" prepared by me personally. "
"At that time, this seat will not only crush the heads of you and all the fifth-order powerhouses under your command, but also your territory and those cities that support you will be turned into scorched earth and purgatory. That is the only end for resisting us."
"Jie Jie, I really look forward to that moment."
