Chapter 365 Wings of Fenglan
Under the dim light of the light crystal, Lei Xiao and his team searched all the way up inside this white tower-shaped building.
The other floors above are all ordinary office areas.
Apart from seeing a lot of cobwebs and thick dust, there was nothing else to gain until everyone came to the stairs leading to the top floor.
"Lord, judging from the architectural layout, this topmost area is a completely enclosed unknown space. It is completely different from the multi-layered atrium area that runs through the center just now. Please be careful, Lord."
I saw the tiger stick taking a step forward, bowing and saluting.
"Understood, let's see what secrets are hidden in this unique area at the top."
Nodding to the subordinates surrounding him, Lei Xiao took his own steps.
Following the last white marble steps, we arrived at the entrance area on the top floor of the White Tower.
The first thing that catches everyone's eyes is a spacious and bright hall.
At a glance, in the luxuriously decorated hall, everything is mottled.
A row of potted plants that have long since withered, or even no longer exist, stand at random with the petrified winged warriors. Mixed with the cobwebs in the corners and a deep layer of ash on the exquisite reliefs on the walls, everything looks... , quite a sense of the ancient times.
At the end of the hall, there is a giant metal double door, which is even larger than the one in the underground area just now.
"Knotweed, open it."
Feeling the ancient and mysterious atmosphere around him, Lei Xiao nodded to the burly man beside him.
"As you command, Lord."
Hu Zhi, whose body was surging with energy and was always on alert, first touched his chest and saluted Lei Xiao, then stepped forward and pushed open the metal door.
Along with a "squeaking" sound of metal friction, an extremely wide space came into Lei Xiao's eyes.
Surrounded by all the subordinates, Lei Xiao walked into the gate and noticed.
The top area of the white tower, like the lower half, is also a cylindrical open space that runs from top to bottom, and the layout is more special.
It is not divided into floors and rooms like the lower part, like a honeycomb, but a giant whole.
I saw that on the wall of this cylindrical space, there were hundreds of small independent platforms of different heights and scattered in an orderly manner.
On each platform, there is a set of wooden seats that look very luxurious.
On it, either standing or sitting, stood a Winged Man who had turned into a stone statue.
Careful observation shows that these winged humans are generally older, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly.
Some stone statues had their mouths wide open and their hands spread out, and they were saying something excitedly, while some stone statues showed contempt, crossed their legs impatiently, and listened attentively.
There are also stone statues with their heads in their hands, looking like they don't know what to do.
Everything undoubtedly shows that there was a heated discussion or debate going on here at that time.
At a glance, there are more than a hundred winged human statues in different heights and positions in this vast space. They can be said to be of different shapes, like a mime with the pause button pressed, which makes people dizzy.
"Lord, this should be the location of the Elders' Council of the Winged People."
In surprise, Faxia took a step forward and said: "It seems that the Winged People in this barrier area obviously encountered some difficult problems back then."
"That's true. Many people look red-faced and very excited."
The pair of prick ears on Bai Wei's head moved slightly, and then added: "Even the Council of Elders, which represents the entire ethnic group and is the highest authority, is in such a chaotic state. It can be seen that what happened that year did indeed happen. Did some amazing things..."
"When we can unlock petrification, all this will naturally be solved."
Signaling everyone to disperse for investigation, Lei Xiao took his own steps again.
Accompanied by the tiger stick, Lei Xiao began to think about the current situation while slowly pacing in this long-dusted Winged Human Tribe Elders' Council.
This winged human race's barrier area is too huge. It would be a waste of time just to explore it one by one by oneself.
"By the way, since this is located in the City Lord's Mansion area of Shuiyue City, it is perfect to leave it to Faxia's father, Ed, who is the City Lord, to conduct a thorough exploration. Let's find a way to arrange it later."
"Of course, before that, I have to take Ed under my command. In this way, the entire Shuiyue City will also be under my control."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to ponder.
Currently, I only have three second-level recruitment orders in my hand that have not been upgraded this morning. There is no ready-made third-level recruitment order that can be used when signing a contract.
Due to the second-level recruitment order, it is less likely to be directly promoted to the fourth-level recruitment order, and his next target is the fourth-level senior powerhouse next to Ariel, Holy Light General Ju Bai.
So I originally planned to save some more and upgrade them together.
And since we now need a third-level recruitment order to regain Ed, we have to upgrade the three second-level recruitment orders on hand first.
Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao started upgrading without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, a familiar prompt sounded in his ears.
[Congratulations, your "Second Level Recruitment Order" has been upgraded to "Third Level Recruitment Order"! 】
[Congratulations, your "Level 2 Recruitment Order" has been upgraded to "Level 4 Recruitment Order"! 】
[Congratulations, your "Second Level Recruitment Order" has been upgraded to "Third Level Recruitment Order"! 】
"Good guy, all three times were qualitative changes, and I also got two third-level recruitment orders, and one fourth-level recruitment order that I need most at the moment. It's another great harvest!"
The joy on Lei Xiao's face was beyond words, and he thought to himself: "Yes, yes, not only Ed, as the Lord of Shuiyue City, but also Holy Light General Ju Bai's recruitment order has been prepared!"
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this with excitement, Faxia's slightly surprised voice came over: "Lord, please come and take a look."
When he arrived at Faxia's location, Lei Xiao noticed.
This is the corner of the wall, directly opposite the door. It looks like any other wall, nothing special about it.
However, after sensing it for a moment, Lei Xiao further noticed that there was a faint energy fluctuation emanating from it.
"Lord, this is an extremely exquisite hidden magic restriction."
Faxia, who was standing aside, bowed and began to introduce: "Generally speaking, hidden type of magic restrictions are standard for the elves, and judging from the current situation, among this group of winged humans, it is obviously the same There are experts in this field.”
"That's it."
After listening to Faxia's explanation, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
I had seen the hidden type of magic restriction once before at the entrance of the Elf Dungeon.
Just when he thought of this, Lei Xiao seemed to realize something, and a hint of curiosity suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked: "Faxia, you mean there is probably a secret room behind this wall?"
"Back to Lord, that's exactly what it is."
Nodding respectfully, Faxia responded confidently: "This hidden magic ban has been around for a long time, and there have been many flaws. In addition, my subordinate's elective major in the Noble Academy is the study of foreign magic bans. Therefore, It shouldn’t be a problem to lift this magic restriction.”
“Very good.”
Lei Xiao took a few steps back, indicating that the other party could start.
A crisp chanting sound sounded, and Faxia, whose whole body was exuding a light golden light, made dots in the air with his slender fingers.
In mid-air, one after another, small pale golden magic arrays condensed and formed, and began to slowly rotate like gears.
Not long after, there was a crisp sound that sounded like a metal chain breaking or glass falling to the ground.
The wall that had no cracks in front of Lei Xiao opened in response and began to move upward slowly, eventually forming the outline of a door.
"Is it really the secret room of the Winged Humans?"
Looking at the hidden space revealed in front of him, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and walked straight in surrounded by his subordinates.
After entering it, Lei Xiao noticed.
The space here is extremely limited, about the size of an ordinary bedroom, and it looks extremely simple.
However, at the end of the secret room, there stood a striking silver metal table.
On the table, there is an extremely exquisite wing-shaped golden ornament, which is about the size of two palms.
This unfolded wing-shaped ornament is almost a replica of the wings behind the Winged Human Race. The texture on it is extremely delicate, and even every feather is clearly visible. It can obviously be called an extremely exquisite work of art.
I saw that under the reflection of the light crystal in the secret room, the surface of the wings reflected a dim and strange light, which seemed to absorb part of the light source.
Its base is covered with very complex fine textures. At first glance, it looks like a maze that is difficult to escape, which makes people feel dizzy.
"I feel like I have seen this feeling before."
Lei Xiao frowned, then suddenly enlightened.
Yes, it was the Eternal Night Magic Box that was obtained at the Fanyin City auction.
"I remember that the Magic Box of Eternal Night also came from the blank era three thousand years ago. Is there any connection between the two?"
In confusion, Lei Xiao slowly walked closer and opened the attribute bar of this wonderful object.
【Name: Wings of Fenglan】
[Race: Winged Human Race]
【effect:? ? ? 】
[Note: The ancient item that disappeared along with a certain winged human race has an unknown background and unknown function, but it can be confirmed that this item is not dangerous in any way. 】
"Good guy, even the attribute column is very similar to the Evernight Magic Box. Maybe there is any connection between them. It is still unknown."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
Without any warning, the whole building suddenly shook violently, making it impossible for people to stand firmly.
Waves of extremely strong energy fluctuations began to sweep in from outside the secret room where everyone was currently located.
However, this high-intensity shaking and energy fluctuation only lasted for the blink of an eye, and soon returned to normal again, as if nothing had happened.
"Lord, this special energy wave is exactly the same as the energy wave emitted by the barrier formation eye in the underground area just now. It seems that Senior Ye Cang and Chaoyan should have completed the repair of the formation eye!"
Faxia's excited voice immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"So that's it, let's go out and have a look."
After confirming that there were no other items here, Lei Xiao first put the Feng Lan Wings in front of him into the space bracelet, and then left the secret room with his subordinates.
Going down the stairs they came from, it didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his party to return to the lobby on the first floor of the White Tower.
Ye Cang and Chao Yan, plus the six earth guardians who had been guarding them, were already waiting here.
"I am reporting to my lord, the two subordinates have lived up to the lord's trust, and the mission has been successfully completed!"
Ye Cang and Chao Yan immediately came forward and bowed to Lei Xiao.
"Thank you for your hard work. So, the City Lord's Mansion in Shuiyue City and the island where it is located should have returned to normal, right?"
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and then asked.
"Back to Lord, that's exactly what it is."
Ye Cang still maintained his bowing posture and responded: "All the magic arrays in the center of this barrier area have basically returned to normal, and my subordinates have also cut off the energy supply of the magic arrays to those high-level golem puppets. In this way, even if there are other high-level golem puppets here, they will not pose any threat to us."
Pushing up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, Ye Cang continued: "In other words, this Winged Human Clan's barrier area is completely safe."
“Very good.”
While nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao put all the sixteen earth guardians in the hall into space bracelets.
"By the way, Lord Lord, there is one more thing!"
Chaoyan came up with small steps, blinked his big eyes and added: "When the two subordinates activated the energy supply magic circle of the magic wall at the entrance of the barrier, they only activated the most basic part. This means, Although this barrier area has returned to normal, we can still easily enter and exit at will if we need to! ”
"Not bad, very well done."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, then waved his hand and said: "Then without further ado, let's leave here first."
"Yes! Lord!"
After hearing Lei Xiao's order, all the subordinates bowed and saluted, saying in unison.
Following the route they came from, it didn't take long for the group to return to the floating island at the entrance to the barrier at the beginning.
"Let's go."
Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao followed Huzhang's footsteps and stepped into the space crack that left here. (End of chapter)
