Chapter 525 The fourth unsolved mystery
"Lord, leave it to your subordinates. I already know every mountain and river in Leng Yan!"
Ariel bowed slightly and spoke confidently.
"Go ahead and be safe."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
"Yes! Lord!"
Putting on the invisibility cloak again, Ariel's slender body disappeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"Hongye, let's take advantage of this time and walk around casually."
Then, Lei Xiao nodded slightly to the dragon woman on the other side.
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao immediately took his own steps.
"As you command, Lord."
Hong Ye, who was on the side, also immediately followed.
Just like that, accompanied by Hong Ye.
As Lei Xiao walked among the ruins wrapped in emerald green, he couldn't help but look thoughtful.
The thing he was thinking about was naturally the dimensional storm itself.
Absently, he caressed a section of the low, charred wall whose edges had been smoothed by thousands of years of wind and frost, feeling the smooth yet rough texture coming from it.
Lei Xiao told Hong Ye exactly what Ariel said about the dimensional storm information possessed by the Leng Yan royal family.
"I didn't expect that while my subordinates were sleeping in Dragon Sealing City, dimensional storms would occur so frequently..."
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Hong Ye's delicate face: "I thought that this dimensional storm was just an accident."
"Things are obviously not as simple as we thought at the beginning."
Nodding towards Hong Ye, Lei Xiao continued: "What's even more noteworthy is that, as Ariel said, over the past hundred years, the interval between each dimensional storm has also been shortening year by year. An increasingly frequent trend ”
"The Lord is right, this is obviously unusual."
Dai Mei frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, and Hong Ye said thoughtfully: "According to the inference of my subordinates, the area where dimensional storms have occurred over the past hundred years is not only the Cold Flame Kingdom, but most likely the entire continent has been affected. .”
"I have also asked Ariel about this matter. At least in the human countries, the situation is the same as Leng Yan."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao also frowned and said: "Hongye, you once said that dimensional storms were a natural phenomenon that often occurred before the blank era three thousand years ago.
The main reason for its formation is that the ceiling of combat power among each tribe, that is, the chosen son of God, often possesses extremely terrifying strength.
Especially in battle, the energy particles floating in the air are often in an extremely chaotic state. This is an important reason for causing dimensional storms. ”
At this point, Lei Xiao's brows almost knitted together as he continued: "However, since the end of the blank era, there has never been a chosen son of God among all races.
Moreover, after experiencing the baptism of unknown wars and shocking disasters in the blank era, the overall strength of each race is far less than before the blank era. ”
Taking a deep breath, Lei Xiao added: "It stands to reason that under these conditions, dimensional storms should not happen again. Why are they happening more and more frequently?"
"This is exactly what my subordinates didn't understand."
Hong Ye said with a puzzled expression: "Now it seems that there is only one possibility, and that is the conditions for the formation of the dimensional storm. In addition to the chaotic energy particles in the air, there seem to be other reasons."< br>
After a pause, Hongye shook his head again and said: "As for the specific reason, we don't know now."
At this time, Hongye's starry eyes lit up and he said: "By the way, Lord, according to the information obtained by my subordinates, before the coming of the blank era, dimensional storms seemed to be happening more and more frequently across the continent. Do you think there is any connection between the two? ”
"The possibility is very high. Then again, is it related to the blank era itself?"
Pouting his lips slightly, Lei Xiao said thoughtfully: "It seems that, except for the disappearance of the chosen son of God, misplaced objects such as the ancient temple of the Titans, and all the ancient ruins from the blank era, no matter what Races are all lost phenomena without corpses, except for these three points.
One more unsolved mystery related to the Blank Age has been added. ”
"Your Lordship is right. What happened in that mysterious blank era really makes people curious."
On the other side, Hong Ye nodded slightly and echoed.
At the same time, she flicked her fingers, and as the flames rose, a giant python monster with a metallic luster on the ground not far away, which was trying to get closer, was directly reduced to ashes.
Looking at the green smoke and the charred ground not far away, Lei Xiao simply leaned against a big tree and fell into deep thought again.
It has to be said that whether it is the mysterious blank era in the past, the reason for the arrival of one billion lords of Blue Star now, or the unknown catastrophe that is about to happen in the future, it is just the prologue.
Even though it all looks like nothing.
But there was a feeling in Lei Xiao's heart.
That is, as you continue to advance, you are getting closer and closer to the longing truth.
"In addition, we cannot relax our investigation regarding the intentions of the mysterious organization. I always feel that this ruthless organization must be plotting something behind the scenes."
Realizing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and thought to himself: "Of course, the most important thing is to continue to increase my strength. Only when my fist is strong enough can I survive in this different world where the jungle is strong. Here, we have the capital to stand firm and pursue the truth.”
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
In the gentle breeze, with a flash of light and shadow, Ariel, who was flapping her pale golden wings behind her, landed in front of Lei Xiao.
After being promoted to the level of a fourth-level powerhouse, her movement speed has undoubtedly been greatly improved.
"Lord Qi, my subordinates have figured out the specific location here!"
After bowing to Lei Xiao, Ariel opened her red lips and said softly.
"Oh? That's great."
Nodding for Ariel to continue speaking, Lei Xiao, half leaning on the tree trunk, brought his attention back to reality.
"Back to the lord, this place is indeed located to the north of the Songyin Mountains, and there is a small waterfall at the foot of the mountain. The surging water flows all the way to this dense forest connected to the mountains."
After gently patting the dust on her body, Ariel continued: "As for the city closest to here, it is Blue Cold Castle, just southeast of this dense forest!"
"Lampburg? That famous brewing town?"
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said thoughtfully.
He had heard Lin mention this place at the previous banquet night in the territory.
And the wine I drank at that time tasted really good.
Not only is it easy to drink, but there is no hint of spiciness at all. Only the sweetness of the fruit and the aroma of malt intersect between the teeth, making it endlessly memorable.
"Back to Lord, that's exactly what it is."
Nodding to Lei Xiao, Ariel responded: "Lan Leng Castle's brewing technology is unparalleled, and it is an indispensable and important component of the eastern region of Leng Yan, and even Leng Yan as a whole. After all, it is an important part of Leng Yan. For most upper-class nobles, banquets and fine wine are almost a necessary part of life.”
At this time, Ariel couldn't help but frowned slightly and continued: "The size of Lanlen Castle is similar to that of Kongqing Town. The current city owner is Shuanghua, known as the Marquis of Rose. His family has been brewing wine for generations. The famous Leng Yan is also considered a rare wine-making aristocratic family.”
"Double Flower? Rose Marquis? It's an interesting name."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show a look of interest on his face.
"Your Lordship is right. The current city lord of Blue Cold Castle, Shuanghua, was the royal brewer of the Leng Yan royal family before he inherited the family business. Although everything was done perfectly, his subordinates always felt that , he is a bit of a nagging person.”
Speaking of this, Ariel shuddered involuntarily, as if she remembered some bad memories.
"To be able to make this arrogant fifth princess of Leng Yan make such an expression, from a certain perspective, this Rose Marquis is an extremely impressive person."
Noticing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but smile.
After regaining her energy, Ariel said again: "Lord, in short, my subordinates have fully grasped the geographical location of the ruins of the royal capital of Loren."
After a pause, Ariel continued: "Perhaps, it is precisely because this place is close to the brewing town of Blue Cold Castle that it has not been discovered. After all, in the entire Blue Cold Castle, except for wine making, there is no other way. No interest whatsoever.”
"It turns out that the reason why Blue Cold Castle is famous all over the world is probably due to interest."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao immediately said: "Okay, now that we have grasped the specific location here, let's leave for now, and then take Fang Hai to explore it."
Needless to say, at present, the dimensional storm in the Songyin Mountains has not yet been suppressed.
Moreover, the main mission of our trip is to go to Fanyin City to negotiate with the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group to garrison the border. Therefore, we naturally cannot stay here longer.
"Yes! Lord!"
Directly opposite, Ariel and Hongye bowed together and said in unison.
Just like that, they returned to the ancient forge underground, and other subordinates such as Huzhang immediately surrounded them.
"Lord, in addition to some damaged magic furnaces and ordinary forging equipment, my subordinates also found several storage rooms for forging materials."
A rough voice sounded, and the knotweed bowed and said: "However, they are all ordinary materials such as copper, iron ore, and there is nothing special about it."
Having said this, Polygonum Weed couldn't help but shook his head.
"No problem, being able to confirm that this is the ruins of King Loren's capital and finding the magic furnace of Fang Hai's ancestor is already a huge gain for us."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao waved his hand and said: "Okay, the top priority now is to return to the dimensional storm and suppress it. We will talk about the rest later."
There is no doubt that for most lords.
Copper and iron ore is obviously the most critical resource for mansion upgrades at this stage, and it is the mineral that everyone dreams of.
For Lei Xiao, these are naturally useless items that take up space even if they are installed in a space bracelet.
Next, Lei Xiao and his party followed the direction they came from, passed through the narrow passage in the middle of the sword tomb, and returned to the underground hall where they started.
Under the dim light spar, looking at the gray mist that was still flowing and rolling like a liquid in front of him, Lei Xiao walked straight in surrounded by his subordinates.
Accompanied by a dazzling gray light flashed.
Wait until Lei Xiao's vision becomes clear again.
He was already in the gray forest just now.
"Are you back? This random portal is a bit interesting."
Looking at the magnificent and unpredictable underwater scene above his head, Lei Xiao stepped onto the giant white wolf and said to the subordinates beside him: "Okay, let's go directly to end this dimensional storm."
"Yes! Lord!"
On the other side, all the subordinates responded in unison.
Under Hong Ye's guidance, it didn't take long.
Lei Xiao and the other main subordinates have arrived at a very special area.
Turning over and getting off the wolf, Lei Xiao noticed in surprise.
In this circular space of approximately one hundred square meters, the wind was gentle and the sun was bright. Lei Xiao, who had just adapted to the dark environment, couldn't help but feel dazzled.
The thick black fog around it was like hitting an invisible wall, making it impossible to enter this area at all.
"Lord, this is the eye of the dimensional storm."
Just when Lei Xiao saw this, Hong Ye on the side bowed slightly and introduced.
"Being at the center of the dimensional storm, is it the calmest?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and in surprise, his eyes finally focused on the center of the eye of the storm.
There, there was a gray energy ball about one meter in diameter suspended, tumbling and spinning rapidly.
Moreover, it can be clearly seen with the naked eye.
The space around this energy ball is blurry and illusory, and is obviously in an extremely unstable state.
It seems that it is possible at any time to tear apart the normal space and release a terrifying void space that can swallow everything.
All in all, this medium-sized gray energy ball gives people a very dangerous feeling.
"Lord, that gray energy ball is the core of the dimensional storm. As long as it is completely suppressed, this dimensional storm that has not yet formed a large scale can be ended."
On the other side, Hong Ye's sassy voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
"I understand, let's end this."
Nodding to the dragon woman, Lei Xiao and the other main subordinates took a few steps back.
"As you command, Lord."
Hong Ye, on the other hand, took a careless step and came straight to the gray energy ball suspended in mid-air. (End of chapter)
