Chapter 457 The Lost Ruins
Coming to the mottled magic furnace, after careful inspection, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
The giant metal furnace, which is almost as big as a truck, did not suffer any damage.
Under the illumination of the light spar, the entire body of the magic furnace exudes a jet-black frosted metallic luster, giving off a rustic and ancient atmosphere.
I saw a large number of strange magic lines engraved on the dark surface of the magic furnace. Many strange lines with faint fluorescence were intertwined together, just like a deep maze, forming a large number of obtuse-angled structures.
"I seem to have seen this kind of magic line somewhere before."
Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao suddenly became enlightened.
As soon as his mind moved, a large crystal stone one meter square appeared next to the giant furnace.
"This unknown race enchantment crystal that stores an unknown magic enchantment was also found in another beast's cave in the old mining area of Gelin City, where Su Ru and others mined obsidian and pitch-black magic crystals. Only Only strong men of the corresponding race can activate the magic enchantment stored in it.”
Lei Xiao murmured to himself while comparing the magic lines on the barrier crystal and the giant furnace.
"The structures of the magic lines between the two are almost identical. In addition, the locations where they were found are both within the old mining area of Gelin City. From this, it is not difficult to determine the race to which this barrier crystal belongs. , also the dwarves.”
"It seems that I have solved another little mystery."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, put away the barrier crystal, and refocused his gaze on the giant metal furnace in front of him.
After some further inspection, Lei Xiao discovered.
Although this magic furnace can open the attribute interface, except for the name [Immortal Furnace], there is only a "???" displayed below.
“As expected, you still can’t find clues from the notes?”
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao looked at the behemoth in front of him, frowning and continuing to observe.
"Among the ruins of this castle, this is the only thing that has been preserved intact, while other magic furnaces around it have varying degrees of damage, and most of them show signs of corrosion."
"It is not difficult to see from this that this [Immortal Furnace] is very unique in appearance, texture, and huge size. It stands out from the crowd. It is the best and most special in this former dwarf city. The Magic Forge ”
"So, what is the purpose of the mysterious organization's efforts to find this object?"
A thoughtful look appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
"Is it for forging high-end equipment? After all, this magic furnace comes from the dwarves who are the best at forging."
"No, the possibility is extremely slim."
Lei Xiao immediately rejected his idea and shook his head slightly.
"In addition to the forger's own strength and skills, although an excellent magic furnace can improve the success rate and quality of forged equipment to a considerable extent, there is a huge limitation."
< br>
"According to the information I learned from Fang Hai before, the magic furnaces of different races correspond to their own smelting magic arrays and forging magic arrays."
"Although the methods of use are similar, there are often huge differences in the control of the heat. This undoubtedly means that blindly using the magic furnaces of other races may not be able to achieve satisfactory results."
Lei Xiao murmured to himself while pacing slowly around the metal furnace.
"It can be seen that the mysterious organization has put so much effort into sending such a powerful lineup to find this [Immortal Furnace], and it is definitely not for the purpose of forging equipment!"
"Then it comes back to the question just now, what exactly does the other party want to do?"
"Could it be related to the other party's previous actions? After all, this dwarf city was also destroyed in the blank era three thousand years ago."
Just when Lei Xiao frowned and thought of this, a gust of wind passed by his eyes.
The five people who chased Huzhang and Hongye, as well as Ye Cang and Chaoyan who had been ambushing outside the cave, fell in front of him one after another.
"I have met the lord!"
All the subordinates saluted and lowered their heads to Lei Xiao.
"No need to be polite, how is the situation outside?"
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly and then asked.
"Back to the Lord, with the help of Senior Huzhang and Senior Hongye, all the strong men of the mysterious organization who escaped, except for the black-robed man No. 7 and the black-robed man No. 23, were all intercepted by the subordinates. Kill.”
I saw Ye Cang step forward, caressing his chest and saluting: "However, when the other party escaped from the cave in embarrassment, the black-robed men No. 135 and 203 who were originally guarding the door immediately used teleportation magic scrolls to escape, so A total of 4 people successfully escaped from the scene.”
After Ye Cang finished speaking, all the subordinates, including Nan Xing Nan Yue who had just arrived, knelt down on one knee again and said in unison to Lei Xiao: "My subordinates did not completely annihilate each other and failed to live up to the expectations of the lord. Please also ask the lord My lord, punish me!”
"Everyone, get up. Your performance today has been outstanding."
Lei Xiao helped the subordinates up one by one, and then said with a smile: "This time, the opponent dispatched a total of 13 strong men, including 2 fifth-level strong men, 3 fourth-level strong men, and 7 third-level peak strong men. and a third-level senior expert.”
"And we killed 1 level 5 powerhouse, 2 level 4 powerhouses, and 6 peak level 3 powerhouses with almost no losses. This is already a very impressive record."
Lei Xiao gently patted Ye Cang's broad shoulder and nodded: "The most important thing is that our goal this time has been perfectly achieved, which is to not only seize the magic furnace from the mysterious organization, but also make the mysterious The organization's important plans fell through again."
"These cruel guys who wantonly kill and despise the lords of other worlds have been punished by me for the first time, but this is by no means the last time."
"They look down on us, the lords from other worlds who suddenly arrived, and regard us as ants that they can trample under their feet at will. I just want to slap them in the face."
Lei Xiao's rather sharp gaze glanced over the subordinates and continued: "Among the four people who escaped, it goes without saying that the three insignificant strong men of the mysterious organization, but let the man in black robe No. 7 once again Escape is not a bad thing for us.”
"Ah? Why is it a good thing?"
Chao Yan blinked his big shining eyes and said with a puzzled look on his face.
"Lord, I understand what you mean."
Ye Cang pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said thoughtfully: "The man in black robe No. 7 has become your defeat twice, so he must be somewhat afraid of you, and you claim to be cold. People from the Flame Royal Family.”
"Without being able to trace our whereabouts, the other party will naturally focus on the Leng Yan royal family and start investigating."
"In this way, it is undoubtedly equivalent to completely diverting the opponent's attention, allowing the territory to once again have a certain amount of development time."
A cold light flashed through Ye Cang's lenses: "And if he is killed, the mysterious organization will definitely send a new fifth-level powerhouse to take charge of the Lengyan branch."
"At that time, how the new fifth-level strong man will act is beyond our estimation. Once the successor is stronger, it will be detrimental to the next actions."
"Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the time when the other party is investigating the Leng Yan royal family, and the territory continues to develop in an insignificant way, and continuously enhances its own strength."
Ye Cang smiled gracefully and concluded: "At that time, even if a new powerful fifth-level expert comes to support, Lord, you will be able to deal with it more easily."
"You're right."
Lei Xiao nodded and affirmed: "While taking advantage of this period of time, we still have two things to do. One is to find a way to subdue Ariel, the fifth princess of Leng Yan, as soon as possible, and the other is to continue to strengthen the territory and The strength of each territory, after all, the strengthening of city defense, training and recruitment of troops are being carried out in an orderly manner. ”
"As expected of the lord!"
Chaoyan nodded thoughtfully and said doubtfully: "Lord, there is one more thing that I don't know about. Now we can confirm that one of the three princes fighting for the throne in the capital has secretly invested in it. The camp of the mysterious organization.”
"If the mysterious organization works together to help the other party seize the throne, wouldn't it mean that we have to face the mysterious organization and the Leng Yan royal family at the same time, two extremely powerful forces?"
Having said this, Chaoyan couldn't help but frown and said, "This is definitely not a good thing."
"I didn't expect that a girl like you could think of this level."
Lei Xiao put his hands behind his back and walked slowly while raising his eyebrows and said: "Yes, this is indeed the worst case scenario, but through chatting with Bert, Ju Bai, Ed and others, I The general situation of the battle for the royal capital has been learned.”
"That is, currently in the royal capital, only the eldest prince's faction has a fifth-level strongman nicknamed [White Knight] for his allegiance, while another fifth-level strongman who is the chief kingdom general is still loyal. Loyal to the old king, the two already belong to two completely different forces."
"At this stage, although I am still unable to determine which prince has fallen into the arms of the mysterious organization, even if the eldest prince has the allegiance of a fifth-level powerhouse and is a member of the mysterious organization, if he wants to completely control the Leng Yan royal family , there will definitely be a conflict with another fifth-level powerhouse.”
"Thus, the struggle between the two is still inevitable, and one party will definitely be seriously injured."
When Lei Xiao said this, he smiled lightly and said: "Do you understand now?"
"I completely understand. No wonder the mysterious organization is still sitting back and watching the three princes fight non-stop. It turns out that it is because of some scruples!"
As the long eyelashes flickered, a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on Chao Yan's delicate little face.
"Okay, let's continue cleaning the battlefield and see if we can find other items here."
Lei Xiao waved his hand and nodded to the subordinates beside him.
Under the command of Lei Xiao, the main subordinates immediately divided into several teams and began to clean the battlefield and explore around the ruins.
Nanxing Nanyue went to a hidden place outside the entrance of the cave to prevent anyone from disturbing her.
Not long after, there was a sound of shattering glass along with the giant metal furnace next to it, and Hong Ye's crisp voice came over: "Lord, the anti-space magic on the magic furnace has been lifted."
< br>
“Very good.”
Lei Xiao came to the giant metal furnace and put the [Immortal Furnace] into his space bracelet.
"Hongye, come with me for a walk."
Then, Lei Xiao, followed by the dragon woman, began to walk among the ruins of the castle.
Stepping on the somewhat rough ground, Lei Xiao looked at the devastated walls and ruins around him, and a trace of deep thought appeared on his face.
Lei Xiao first looked around carefully, then frowned at the dragon woman beside him and said, "Hongye, have you noticed anything strange?"
"Strange thing?"
Hong Ye's fair and translucent face was full of confusion. She bowed and asked, "Lord, what are you referring to?"
"In this huge dwarf ruins, there is not even a dwarf corpse."
Lei Xiao took a breath and said slowly with a solemn expression: "From what I saw in the illusion at the beginning, it can be clearly inferred that this place was obviously an extremely prosperous city three thousand years ago. However, after suffering destruction, it actually Not even a single corpse was left behind, which is obviously unreasonable.”
"So that's what happened."
Hong Ye smiled, and judging from her expression, she obviously knew something.
I saw Hong Ye nodded towards Lei Xiao and began to explain: "Lord, you may not know something. According to my subordinates, among all the ancient ruins from the blank era, no matter what race they are, there is indeed no The existence of ancient corpses ”
"This, just like the misplaced objects mentioned by my subordinates before, is also one of the mysterious effects caused by the blank era. In other words, it is more appropriate to call it an unsolved mystery."
Hongye looked solemn as he continued: "These relics from the blank era are also called lost relics. The word "lost" refers to these ancient relics that disappeared en masse for unknown reasons. Corpses. ”
"Lost ruins? I didn't expect that there is such an incredible thing in this world."
In surprise, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
If you think about it carefully, among the many ruins of the blank era that have been explored, except for the winged human race barrier area that was all petrified.
Whether it is the ruins of the Light Elf clan next to Shen Banxia's territory, or the ruins of the previous Titan clan and the unknown race ruins where the [Eternal Night Magic Box] was found next to it.
Even the ancient ship that was a misplaced object and the ruins of the ancient battlefield that contained nothing, it is true that no ancient corpse of any race has ever been found.
"I originally thought that the strange and mysterious phenomenon of dislocated objects was incredible enough, but compared with the dislocated objects, these collectively disappeared corpses are undoubtedly even more strange."
The confused expression on Lei Xiao's face began to become more intense, and he murmured to himself.
"What happened in that mysterious blank era that led to such a puzzling situation?" (End of Chapter)
