Chapter 833: fantasy and reality
Lei Xiao looked around and found a middle-aged male elf in black robes, surrounded by a group of elf guards in black leather armor, appearing at the other end of the carriage.
Lei Xiao was no stranger to this middle-aged elf with a serious expression. He was the first one he saw in the life support device before entering the illusion.
Compared with the emaciated main body, whose spirit is like gossamer, and whose face is like a withered face, the other party in the illusion looks radiant, and his body also looks very strong.
"Master Trainmaster!"
Seeing the figure of the middle-aged elf, even though they were on the other side, the two young elves still looked excited, and their fears were obviously eased.
"The train conductor... so, is this person the leader of this teleportation train?"
Looking at the resolute and vigilant face of the middle-aged elf, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
"Although you strangers of different races don't know your purpose, let alone how you broke through the defenses of the outside world and entered here, there are only two choices in front of you now."
The voice of the middle-aged dwarf was a little lower again, and he said coldly: "Either obediently and get caught, or be sent to prison after suffering a lot of flesh and blood, and the dwarf will give you a fair verdict!"
"My lord, although the other party's words are firm, but there is no trace of killing intent, it seems that he is not a bloodthirsty generation."
After observing for a while, Jiang Li bowed down and whispered in Lei Xiao's ear, "How should I respond?"
"The current situation here is still a little unclear. The other party doesn't even know that he is in an illusion. Let me try to test the other party first."
Lei Xiao waved his hand lightly, then looked at the middle-aged elf and said, "Your Excellency, the train conductor, you have defined us as the ones who need to be judged indiscriminately, is this the elf's way of hospitality? "
"The elves will naturally treat guests with great enthusiasm, but you guys who broke through the defense line on the ground without authorization can't be called our guests!"
The middle-aged elf snorted coldly, still maintaining the extremely vigilant look: "If you don't let go and arrest you, don't blame the train conductor for being rude!"
After the middle-aged elf finished speaking, at the front door and the back door of the carriage, several teams of heavily armed elves entered one after another, completely surrounding Lei Xiao and the others.
It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the usual long swords and staffs, these heavily armed elves carry a strange metal staff with a back box, which should be some kind of special steam weapon .
Seeing that there were more and more dwarfs in the carriage, Lei Xiao's expression remained calm, and he smiled and said, "Please be safe, everyone. Before I give up, I want to ask you a question."
"what is the problem?"
Seeing Lei Xiao's plan to "catch him without a fight", the middle-aged elf's expression softened a little, and he frowned.
"The question is very simple, that is, everyone should know that this is not reality, but an illusion in the life support device?"
As Lei Xiao said this, he carefully observed the expression of the middle-aged elf.
"What?!"
Hearing Lei Xiao's words, the middle-aged elf froze for a moment, and suddenly looked confused, while the other elves around him also began to look at each other incredulously.
After a while, the expressions of all the elves turned to anger and annoyance again, as if Lei Xiao had told a big joke and treated them as fools.
"Human race, you are simply deceiving people too much!"
The resolute face of the middle-aged dwarf was already covered with anger, and he asked: "Weaving such an obvious lie, are we describing us dwarfs as stupid as orcs?"
After the middle-aged dwarf finished speaking, the faces of the other dwarves became more hostile, obviously feeling greatly offended.
"My lord, these elves don't look like they are pretending. They really don't seem to realize that they are in an illusion."
Erza's starry eyes flickered, and she whispered to Lei Xiao, "This is most likely because they have been in the illusion for a long time, which has affected their sanity to a certain extent."
"I can see it too, that is to say, are we talking to a group of delusional guys? It seems that the situation is more difficult than I imagined."
With a helpless look on Lei Xiao's face, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
As I said before entering the illusion, I have two purposes for coming here.
The first is to strive to establish cooperation with the elves, and use the other party's magic technology level to improve the scientific research progress of the newly established project as soon as possible.
The second is to find the clue of the [Stone of God] here.
Judging from the current situation, these guys don't even know their own situation, and they are extremely hostile to their own side. It is obviously impossible to achieve any point of the intended goal.
"It seems that if you want to really communicate with these dwarves and obtain useful information, you must first let the other party realize their real situation."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao spread his hands, sincerely expressed that he did not intend to offend the elves, and then said: "Your Excellency, the train conductor, you said that we broke through the defense line on the ground to enter here, right? ?
"That's natural. There is a complete preventing teleportation circle here. Even a sixth-order powerhouse cannot directly teleport to this underground area!"
The middle-aged elf looked determined, and his voice became more and more impatient: "Unless you break through the defense line on the ground, you will never appear here!"
After the middle-aged dwarf finished speaking, the other dwarfs nodded along with them, their expressions even more vigilant.
"Since everyone is so sure, how about checking the defense line on the ground first? No one should have heard the sound of the defense line being breached, right?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and continued to maintain a faint smile: "If the defense line on the ground is still intact, then it can prove that we are not your enemy?"
Lei Xiao clearly understood that although his group had indeed defeated those giant guardians and got on the train, it was in the real world.
However, when entering this illusion, they did not pass through the defense line on the ground that the elves said. From this, it is not difficult to see that the defense line in the illusion must still be intact.
Through this, the elves may be able to notice the abnormality, and then be able to sit down and listen to their own words.
"Are you still doing the last pointless struggle?"
Although the middle-aged elf said so, he still asked a dwarf guard beside him to quietly start communicating with other dwarf guards on the periphery through the secret communication method.
In just a moment, the dwarf guard returned to the middle-aged dwarf with a face full of surprise, and whispered a few words.
"What? The defense line on the ground is all normal? There is no abnormality in the detection barrier?"
The middle-aged elf couldn't believe his ears, and couldn't help blurting out: "What's going on?!"
As soon as the middle-aged elf said this, the other elves looked at me and you again, and fell into a state of stupefaction.
Suppose these sudden aliens did not enter the train through the ground.
So, how exactly did they end up here? !
"These alien races are even more terrifying than imagined, we can't let them here anymore!"
While confused, the middle-aged elf didn't hesitate, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Catch them!"
When the other elves heard the sound, they immediately rushed up with anger on their faces.
For a while, although these guys were short in stature, they looked well-trained, and they looked very difficult to mess with.
"Shouldn't we first confirm why we appear here out of thin air in such a situation that is obviously contrary to common sense, and then take corresponding actions?"
"It seems that these guys really don't have enough sense, so let's control these guys first."
Seeing that the scene suddenly became tense, Lei Xiao curled his lips, and decisively signaled Jiang Li and Hong Ye to face each other, and began to deal with the attack of the elves at both ends.
With almost no effort, the two fifth-level powerhouses quickly subdued all the dwarves present with the force of thunder and gale.
It is worth mentioning that although Lei Xiao has tried it, the storage space cannot be used here, nor can any lord interface be opened.
But Hong Ye's own claws and armor can still be displayed normally.
As for the space constraint of Jiangli, although it is not like in the outside world, there can be visible space phantoms with the naked eye.
But it still had a great effect. In the blink of an eye, all the elves completely lost their ability to move.
"My lord, it seems that the ability in reality can also play a role in this illusion to a considerable extent."
Ersha nodded to Lei Xiao, and said softly: "As for the strength of these dwarves, they are actually quite good, and there are many fifth-level powerhouses among them. They shouldn't be so vulnerable in the first place. This undoubtedly shows that, The physical condition in reality has greatly affected the performance of strength here."
"That is to say, because they are dying in reality, will they be easily subdued by us?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with satisfaction: "Now I can have a good talk with them."
However, as soon as Lei Xiao's voice fell, the situation reversed instantly.
I saw dozens of dark guardian puppets that were almost identical to the guardian of the earth, emerging from the surroundings of the group of people out of thin air, some on the ground, and some even directly suspended in mid-air.
Faced with this sudden situation, the subordinates reacted very quickly, and immediately began to preemptively strike.
But neither Hong Ye's physical attack nor Jiang Li's magic attack could hurt these guardian puppets one iota.
This sudden strange scene made Ariel, who had been closely following Lei Xiao, couldn't help but tightly grasp Lei Xiao's skirt.
"Tch, struggling in vain, let the train conductor catch them!"
The middle-aged dwarf who was not far away broke free from the constraints of space at some point, and said furiously, "They will be judged justly by the dwarf!"
At the same time, Lei Xiao noticed.
In the middle-aged elf's hand, he held a pure black exquisite short sword engraved with strange patterns, which was exuding the same brilliance as the guardian puppets, and seemed to be the tool for summoning these invincible puppets.
"My lord, it seems that these puppets are one of the preset rules in the illusion. I am afraid that no one can defeat them in this preset strange illusion!"
Ersha's nervous and crisp voice came to Lei Xiao's ears again, asking, "What should we do now?"
"What else can we do? We can't watch them really arrest us for the so-called judgment."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and while patting Ariel's shoulder lightly, he nodded to Ersha and said, "Okay, let's get out of this illusion first."
"Obey, my lord!"
Erza closed her eyes and concentrated, and began to disconnect from the illusion.
At the moment when these invincible guardian puppets were about to approach Lei Xiao and the others.
With a flash of white light, Lei Xiao and his party instantly disappeared on the spot.
In the messy carriage, only the elves who didn't know the so-called so-called were left, and they began to look at each other again.
When Lei Xiao opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the mottled carriage, and Ariel and the others beside him also woke up.
Rubbing his swollen head, Lei Xiao then described the situation in the fantasy territory with other subordinates.
"Have these elves actually sealed themselves in the past?"
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Sarah looked at the rows of silent life support devices, and couldn't help sighing softly: "They are even thinking about leaving here and going home, but the reality is that they are already dying. "
"That's right, due to the long-term disrepair of the magic circle, the energy of these life support devices is running out. If you don't intervene, let alone let them go home, this place will soon become a real resting place .
Erza shook her head helplessly, and said melancholy: "Those who are still studying day after day, year after year, I'm afraid they will never realize that the hope they have been chasing is actually just irreparable despair. ?
"These dwarves are of great help to us, we must not let them die easily."
Lei Xiao's words were full of firmness, and he said to his subordinates, "Otherwise, we might be the next ones trapped here."
After a pause ~ Lei Xiao added: "Although I can't let them go home now, maybe it won't be long before I can find a way to save them. A wish has come true."
"The lord is right. We must help the dwarves to recognize the reality. This is not only for them, but also for ourselves."
Ariel nodded in agreement, and echoed: "I believe that the lord will let them return to their hometown smoothly."
"But the opponent whose mind has been affected, not only doesn't get in, but also controls the invincible illusion guardian puppet."
Chaoyan blinked her big eyes, and said with a puzzled look on her face: "Even if all of us go in again, it is impossible to shake those invincible guardian puppets. Under such circumstances, how can we make them recognize the reality?"
After Chao Yan finished speaking, the other subordinates also looked embarrassed, as if they didn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, I have a solution."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, his eyes were piercing.
