Chapter 295 The Ancient Box
"White Gothic Mask?"
After listening to Kelly's words, Lei Xiao was a little surprised, but his expression became stern and he immediately became alert.
As soon as his mind moved, a white metal mask engraved with a shield-shaped black cracked crest and the number 00235 appeared in his hand, and was handed to Kelly.
The mask of this mysterious organization was obtained from Mu Tong in front of the Immortal Gate.
"Lord, it is this strange coat of arms!"
Seeing the mask in Lei Xiao's hand, Kelly blinked her long eyelashes and couldn't help blurting out.
"Kelly, have you seen this white mask before?"
Lei Xiao, who frowned, immediately asked.
"Back to Lord, it is indeed the case. This is what happened."
Kelly took a deep breath, and her eyes began to become blurry on her pretty face.
"Just a month ago, an unexpected robbery and massacre occurred at an ancient ruins not far from Fanyin City. The two warring parties were the garrison under the lord of Fanyin City, and the soldiers wearing This mysterious man with a white mask..."
Through Kelly's detailed description, Lei Xiao learned.
Not long ago, several Fanyin City scouts on a survey mission accidentally discovered a small ancient ruin of an unknown race buried in the soil in a mountain basin south of Fanyin City.
After receiving the news, the Lord of Fanyin City immediately organized the archaeological officials in the city and led five garrison squadrons and senior appraisers from the Phytocontinent Fair to investigate.
After several days of exploration, the investigation team finally found a fully enclosed ancient metal box with unknown purpose deep in the ruins. It was this mysterious ancient box that aroused the covetousness of the mysterious organization.
After hearing what Kelly said, Lei Xiao pondered and nodded.
Starting from the long-dusted Immortal Gate deep in the abandoned mines of Gelin City, to the ancient elven city that disappeared in the blank era three thousand years ago, and to the mysterious ancient battlefield ruins that were later covered by mirages... I have already done this three times, I have had more or less contact with this mysterious and powerful organization.
What can be confirmed is that the other party is indeed searching for something purposefully in these ancient locations, and, in order to achieve this goal, the other party will do anything.
"The metal box Kelly mentioned must be one of the targets that the mysterious organization is looking for. Maybe there will be some clues about the actions of the mysterious organization on it, which is still unknown."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao motioned to Ah Bing beside him to add tea, and asked with raised eyebrows: "Kelly, has that ancient metal box been taken away by those mysterious masked people?"
"Back to the lord, because reinforcements from the city arrived in time, including my subordinates and their fathers, those mysterious masked men did not succeed. They just collected the bodies of several dead companions and fled in confusion."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Kelly responded: "However, during the robbery and killing, the two third-level peak elders of Fanyin City's family were bleeding on the spot. Therefore, in order to avenge the two elders, Fan The Lord of Sound City just held this auction.”
"Oh? So this auction in Fanyin City actually has a deeper meaning?"
Lei Xiao took the tea cup respectfully handed over by A Bing and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Back to Lord, that's exactly what it is."
Kelly still maintained a respectful posture and replied: "The auction held in Fanyin City is divided into three parts: afternoon, evening and evening. The highlight of the last auction in the evening is the mysterious ancient ”
"To be honest with you Lord, the Ancient Box is currently stored in the vault deep inside this Trade Fair."
Kelly straightened the bun hairstyle on the back of her head and continued: "The vault is guarded by an extremely strong small defensive barrier. Even a fifth-level strongman cannot take it away."
"So that's it."
Lei Xiao, who was holding the tea cup, pondered for a moment and asked: "Kelly, you mean that the Lord of Fanyin City used the ancient box to set up a trap in order to attract people from the mysterious organization to achieve the purpose of revenge?"
"Yes, everything is just as the lord guessed."
Kelly nodded solemnly and responded: "This matter is extremely confidential. Only a few people in the city know about it. My subordinates also accidentally heard the news because their father, a fourth-level strongman, was part of the ambush. .”
"Then what kind of strong lineup has Lord Fanyin prepared?"
Lei Xiao put down the tea cup in his hand and asked curiously again.
"Back to the lord, including the city lord himself, his subordinate's father, and the two fourth-level strong men, there are five fourth-level strong men, as well as more than twenty third-order peak strong men and third-order senior strong men."
Kelly bowed and replied without hesitation: "Most of them are private forces hired by the city lord with a lot of money, such as the famous Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group in the Cold Flame Kingdom."
"Five fourth-level powerhouses, more than twenty third-level peak powerhouses, and third-level senior powerhouses? If it is to deal with ordinary forces, it is indeed a very good lineup."
Lei Xiao looked at the ripples in the cup that had not yet dispersed, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's a pity that the Lord of Fanyin City still doesn't know enough about the mysterious organization."
"Lord, what do you mean?"
Kelly blinked in confusion, with a puzzled look on her face.
"Here's the thing."
Lei Xiao did not hesitate and described to Kelly the clues he had about the mysterious organization.
"So, there are at least seven fifth-level experts in this terrifying organization?!"
Kelly's starry eyes widened in disbelief, and she said worriedly: "Lord, isn't that subordinate's father very dangerous?"
"Don't panic. The forces of this mysterious organization are spread all over the human countries, and the personnel are relatively scattered. Therefore, there may not be a fifth-level powerhouse this time."
Lei Xiao waved his hand, signaling Kelly not to panic, and then said: "However, just in case, we'd better confirm."
"Confirm? Lord, how do you confirm?"
Kelly raised her head in confusion and asked quickly.
"Kelly, after the investigation team was robbed and murdered by a mysterious organization, you should have already suspected the traitor, right?"
Lei Xiao picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, then spoke.
"Back to Lord, it is true."
Kelly nodded seriously and responded: "When the Ancient Box was discovered, apart from the city lord, only the subordinate's father and Klee's father as the vice-president learned the news."
"However, since Klee himself and his father were not present at the scene when the robbery and murder occurred, and even participated in the subsequent rescue operations, coupled with their status as direct descendants of the Shangluc family, they were ruled out as suspects, and the city lord was Over there, after many investigations, no clues were found.”
Kelly blinked her big eyes and continued: "So, the matter ended up being settled. Everyone believed that the investigation team must have been targeted by the mysterious organization before the box was dug out. ”
"Perhaps you have overlooked a key detail."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly and spoke slowly. (End of chapter)
