【congratulations! The hidden function of your miracle building "Guardian Defense Agency" has been activated! 】
【congratulations! Your miracle building "Guardian Defense Agency" has unlocked a new guardian "Sky Guardian"! 】
【congratulations! Your miracle building "Guardian Defense Agency" has unlocked the new building special effect "Guardian Optimization"! 】
"Guardian of the Sky?"
After hearing this series of prompts, before Lei Xiao could react, a dull sound of "rumbling" suddenly sounded.
The flat masonry floor inside the miracle building also trembled.
In the center of the hall emitting dim blue light, eight slightly larger new stone bases began to slowly emerge from the ground.
Not long after, when the new base was completely presented in front of Lei Xiao, eight dark blue light pillars immediately rose from the new base.
Along with the surging energy fluctuations, burly and tall figures within the dark blue light pillar began to quickly condense into shape in the air.
Since all this happened in the blink of an eye, it was not until Lei Xiao came back to his senses.
A blue beam of light had already turned into tiny energy particles and dissipated in mid-air.
What replaced them on the new base were 8 giant warrior stone statues holding lances, almost identical to the guardians of the earth.
In surprise, just when Lei Xiao put away the Evernight Magic Box and prepared to step forward to observe carefully.
A sudden strong wind spread in all directions in the hall, and behind each new stone statue, a pair of stone wings spread out like angel wings.
At first glance, it looks like a statue of a fully armed battle angel.
"Hey, is this the Guardian of the Sky?"
Lei Xiao looked up at the tall and mighty new stone statue in front of him, with a curious look on his face.
When they felt the unusual energy fluctuations, the main powerhouses such as Huzhang, Chaoyan, Xueya and Faxia rushed to Lei Xiao's side immediately.
"It's okay, don't be nervous."
Lei Xiao waved his hand, indicating to his subordinates that there was no need to worry, and first opened the attribute bar of a Sky Guardian.
【Name: Guardian of the Sky π】
【Occupation: Skyrim Warrior】
[Level: Level Three, One Star]
【Energy: 100%】
[Skill 1: Fatal thrust L type "active" (physical single target attack, additional piercing effect)]
[Skill 2: Air Combat Stance "Active" (Significantly Increases Flying Speed)]
[Skill Three: Intermediate Magic Barrier "Passive" (spell damage reduction 70%)]
"It is indeed a kind of golem puppet that can fight in the air."
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao concentrated his thoughts on the control. The giant stone statue in front of him flapped its wings and immediately rose into the sky, hovering directly above the hall.
For a moment, the scene of the stone statue flying up was full of fantasy, and people couldn't help but marvel.
"It turns out to be the guardian of the sky!"
Feeling the strong wind from the golem spreading its wings, Chaoyan, who had already put on a set of pink pajamas, couldn't help but exclaimed.
She was seen pushing back her hair that had been blown away by the wind, while bowing to Lei Xiao and saying: "Lord, the Guardian of the Sky, like the Guardian of the Earth, is a high-level demon with extremely high magic defense. Like a puppet, but the difficulty of summoning is much more difficult than that of the Earth Guardian.”
"Moreover, the Guardian of the Sky's destructive power is even more astonishing whether it is air combat or dive attack. It can also undertake the early warning mission of high-altitude bird's-eye view reconnaissance. It can be said that it has extremely comprehensive functions!"
Chaoyan opened his red phoenix eyes wide, made a roaring gesture of an evil dragon, and added: "The most important thing is that for magicians with fragile bodies, it is even more terrifying!"
< br>
"So, do I have another group of powerful soldiers?"
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and thought to himself.
"Except for the powerful magicians of the third level and above, at this stage, I do not have any professional units that can fight, conduct reconnaissance and patrol in the air."
"The Guardians of the Sky, whose strength is at the third level, is enough to compete with an ordinary squadron of first-level soldiers. It undoubtedly fills the gap in this area perfectly, and there are 8 of them at once!"
While overjoyed, Lei Xiao continued to think: "By the way, the prompt also mentioned that there seems to be an additional architectural special effect."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and directly opened the attribute bar of the miracle building.
[Guardian Defense Agency Lv: 4]
[Owner: Lei Xiao "ID: 0013076067"]
【Number of Earth Guardians: 24/24】
【Number of Sky Guardians: 8/8】
[Building Special Effect 1: Guardian Charge Level 4 "Can charge the guardian of the earth (sky), moderately shortening the charging time"]
[Building special effect 2: Guardian creation lv4 "If the guardian of the earth (sky) is destroyed, a new guardian of the earth (sky) can be created (CD: 9h)"]
[Building special effect three: Guardian optimization lv4 "When the guardian of the earth (sky) acts, energy consumption is reduced by 18%"]
[Materials required for upgrade: Stone x150000, Iron Ore x120000, Obsidian x6000, Black Magic Crystal x200]
"Is the third special effect to reduce the energy consumption of the guardians? In this way, the endurance of the guardians can undoubtedly be further enhanced!"
Overjoyed, Lei Xiao waved his hand, and the 24 Earth Guardians who had been in the space bracelet flashed out collectively.
At the moment they appeared, a dark blue light flashed from bottom to top on all the earth guardians, which had obviously received the energy optimization of the third new special effect.
Lei Xiao, on the other hand, concentrated on his control and redeployed 24 Earth Guardians and 8 new Sky Guardians.
Among them, the guardians of the earth are still in groups of three, one for each of the two entrances and exits of the territory, one for the lord's mansion, one for the miracle building area, one for charging and on standby, and the remaining nine are reserved for space bracelets.
The Guardians of the Sky are in groups of two. Except for the northern part of the territory with the dangerous mountains, there are one group in each of the other three directions and several kilometers of area. One group is on standby for charging.
Of course, Lei Xiao would not let the Guardian of the Sky fly around in the sky all the time, but would mainly stay hidden in the towering trees to get a bird's eye view of the overall situation.
"Yes, yes, with the Sky Guardian's detection patrol, the territory will be safer!"
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully while feeling happy in his heart.
Through observations during this period, Lei Xiao has already discovered.
Because there is no life breath, as long as the guardians remain hidden, they will be like real sculptures and will not emit any energy fluctuations. They are the best candidates for ambush, early warning and detection.
Wait until all this is arranged.
Lei Xiao sighed in his heart while collecting three groups of nine earth guardians in total.
"It is indeed an extremely rare miracle building. Just one guardian defense mechanism has provided me with the combat power of 32 third-order powerhouses. It is simply not perfect!"
Then, Lei Xiao took out the Eternal Night Magic Box again and walked quickly towards the Bright Healing Center on the other side.
Since this box can cause the Guardian's defense mechanism to react, it might also be able to cause some changes in the Light Healing, which is also a miracle building. It's not wrong to give it a try.
However, when Lei Xiao held the box and walked around the temple-like light healing center, he did not hear any prompts.
Even the light blue light emitting from the box has disappeared, just as it was at the beginning.
"Lord, what are you doing?"
Faxia, who was following Lei Xiao, tilted his frizzy head and said in confusion.
"Here's the thing..."
Lei Xiao shrugged and described the details of the sudden reaction of the Evernight Magic Box in the Guardian Defense Agency to the subordinates around him.
"It turns out that the new guardians of the sky were created because of this square box. It's really amazing!"
Chao Yan had an expression of sudden realization, and then a look of confusion: "But why does this happen? I remember that when I was in the Magic Tower, in the elective class about miracle buildings, an old monster once told me."< br>
"But that day, because I woke up late in the morning and didn't have a full meal, my attention was all on the food all morning, and I didn't pay attention to the lecture at all..."
When he said this, Chaoyan swallowed involuntarily, and turned his attention to the food in an apparently hopeless manner.
"It is also a miracle building. Does the Ancient Box only respond to the Guardian Defense Agency, but not to the Light Healing Center?"
Fa Xia lowered her eyebrows and pondered for a moment, then her crystal clear eyes lit up with a look of enlightenment. She bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "Lord, I know what's going on! ”
"Oh?"
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and motioned for Faxia to continue.
"Lord, it's because of the "magic lock mechanism" of the miracle building. ”
Faxia Lianbu moved and came to Lei Xiao.
"The "magic lock mechanism" of miracle buildings? ”
Lei Xiao temporarily placed the ancient box on a wooden chair aside, the curiosity on his face became more obvious, and he continued to listen.
"Back to Lord, it's the "magic lock mechanism". ”
Faxia lowered his head and saluted Lei Xiao again: "As the lord has seen, the reason why miracle buildings are so rare and powerful that they can be called miracles is fundamentally because of their cohesion. A branch of a certain race, or simply the crystallization of all the magical wisdom of a certain race.”
"Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call it the highest magical masterpiece of a certain race."
When he said this, a touch of reverence appeared on Faxia's fair face.
"I already know something about this."
Lei Xiao looked at the brilliance shining everywhere in the Guangming Healing Center and nodded thoughtfully: "But what exactly does the magic lock mechanism refer to?"
"Back to Lord, the so-called magic lock mechanism is the original race that built the miracle buildings. The restriction measures for other races to use their own miracle buildings are to protect the interests of the original race."
Faxia smoothed his frizzy short hair and continued to explain: "In this way, even if other races accidentally obtain the blueprints of miraculous buildings and then build miraculous buildings, they can only play most of the functions of miraculous buildings and cannot Maximize the performance of miracle buildings”
"And only by holding the corresponding "Magic Lock Key" can all functions of the miracle building be unlocked and achieve the same effect as when used by the original race. ”
Faxia pondered for a while and then added: "But please rest assured, Lord, because the miracle building and the storage ring both have the unique function of identifying the owner, so even if the Lord directs the guardians to attack the invention, The original race of the Guardian Defense Agency has nothing the other party can do.”
"I completely understand."
Lei Xiao nodded suddenly and asked: "So, the [Eternal Night Magic Box] is the "magic lock key" that removes the restrictions of the guardian's defense mechanism? ”
"Back to my lord, this is how I was able to release the magic lock of the guardian's defense mechanism by accident. My lord is really extraordinary."
Faxia nodded his frizzy head in reverence: "As far as my subordinates know, there are many kinds of "magic lock keys" for miracle buildings. They may be the most precious sacred objects of the original race. Maybe they can only be sung in the language of the original race. Special spells and so on. ”
Faxia blinked her long eyelashes and continued to add: "In addition, my subordinates believe that the role of the [Eternal Night Magic Box] is not just a "magic lock key", but it is likely to belong to the category of sacred objects. The "magic lock key" is just an additional function. ”
"I feel the same way."
Lei Xiao looked at the dark gray box in front of him that reflected a strange light, and checked the attribute column of the [Eternal Night Magic Box] again.
It was found that its "race" and "role" are still in the unlocked state of "???".
"No matter what, everything can indeed be explained."
Lei Xiao casually put the [Eternal Night Magic Box] into the space bracelet and nodded thoughtfully.
"It can be confirmed from the reaction just now that the box and the Guardian Defense Agency are from the same unknown race, and are most likely a sacred object of that race."
Lei Xiao shrugged and continued: "Although I still haven't been able to figure out what other functions the [Eternal Night Magic Box] has besides the "magic lock key", I learned that it is related to the Guardian Defense Agency. Connecting this point is already a big gain for us who know nothing about it. ”
"That's true."
Chao Yan nodded his head and added: "Speaking of which, we have already learned that the Bright Cure Center comes from the Light Elf Clan. Since there is no reaction, we can completely rule out that this square box comes from the Light Elf Clan. The possibility! ”
"You're right."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and recalled the scene when he was exploring the elven ruins next to Shen Banxia's territory.
I am afraid that the "key" to unlock the "magic lock" of the Light Healing Center is hidden deep in the elven dungeon, in the elven magic restriction that I have not yet unlocked.
"The current Bright Healing Center is already very powerful. It has the dual functions of non-stop treatment and purification. I wonder what new architectural special effects will appear after it is unlocked?"
"By the way, what exactly is sealed in the magic restriction of the elves? I believe that in the near future, all the mysteries will be revealed. It must be a long-lasting past event, and it must also be a magnificent epic. ”
"In short, using the [Eternal Night Magic Box] to unlock the "magic lock" of the guardian's defense mechanism has further strengthened the territory's combat power. It can be considered an unexpected surprise! ”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded again to his subordinates and said: "Okay, let's go back together."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao left the Bright Healing Center surrounded by his subordinates.
Not long after, Lei Xiao returned to the third floor of the mansion. He first collected the 1,200 units of copper ingots produced today, and then put the 3 million units of thatch obtained in exchange for a large number of first-level weapons into the storage wooden box.
At this point, after a new round of work by other lords, Lei Xiao's level 1 ordinary resources, which were somewhat depleted, have once again reached a mountainous level.
After finishing all this, Lei Xiao stretched and went straight back to the bedroom at the end of the corridor. He also placed two earth guardians at the door to guard the door.
After all, before this, the energy consumption of an Earth Guardian would not exceed 5% just by standing guard for one night.
What's more, it has now been optimized to further reduce energy consumption.
After washing up, Lei Xiao lay down directly on the spacious and soft bed.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao first contacted Kelly who was far away in Fanyin City.
I learned that after my group of ten people left, other nobles and wealthy businessmen also left the Phytolacca Trade Fair one after another.
Due to the sudden appearance of strong men from the mysterious organization, most of the nobles and wealthy businessmen had strong doubts about Fanyin City's security measures and left the city overnight.
Therefore, his actions did not cause any waves.
As for Fanyin City Lord Orr and the other strong mercenaries, although they suffered heavy losses, many of them were seriously injured.
But the team of priests who had been prepared arrived in time and received proper treatment.
Kelly's father Gail and Kelly himself were naturally intact due to their deliberate arrangements.
"To sum up, Lord, apart from some chaos and the need to deal with the aftermath, there are no other problems here, Lord. Please rest assured, Lord."
Immediately, Kelly's crisp voice came from the other end of the conversation.
"Thank you for your hard work. Report to me anytime if you have anything. Go to bed early."
After Lei Xiao gave the other party a few more instructions, he immediately stopped talking.
"Today's experience is really thrilling. I guess the man in black robe No. 7 is still in a state of confusion, right?"
Lei Xiao put away the light crystal on the bedside table, making the room darken, and nodded thoughtfully: "By the way, I still have the fourth-level magic weapon in my hand that I plan to use as a kitchen knife for Rudy."
"In addition, give him a storage ring later. It is very convenient to hold vegetables, fruits and other ingredients, and it can keep them fresh for a long time..."
As he thought about it, Lei Xiao felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, as if they were filled with lead. After a while, steady breathing began to sound.
……
The next morning, when it was still hazy outside the window.
Lei Xiao, who was already full of energy, stretched, sat up from the bed, and couldn't wait to throw a Rose Energy Pill into his mouth.
Now, as a dual practitioner of magic and martial arts, it is naturally time for me to be promoted to a third-level magic powerhouse! (End of chapter)
