Chapter 549 Broken Fountain


Chapter 549 Broken Fountain

"I remember it was when the city had just been besieged for a month."

Old Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and began to describe: "At that time, the panic and uneasiness in the streets was still very strong. Fortunately, the city had abundant reserves, so there was no need to worry about food. In addition, the absolute defense barrier The protection makes everything in the city relatively stable.”

"On a starry night, when the curfew had just begun, I was invited to the royal castle by the royal herald."

"There, I learned a big secret."

Old Xiaoer nodded to Lei Xiao and continued: "Just in case, the royal family decided to move the most precious secret treasure to the center of the capital, to the underground of the newly built square, and I will move it as a precaution. The captain of the escort team is assisting.”

"Moving to the square in the center of the city? This is really an unexpected decision."

After hearing Lao Xiao say this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face.

"Yes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Now it seems that the royal family's decision was correct. Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Loren still failed to escape the fate of destruction."

Lao Xiaoer sighed softly, and a touch of sadness appeared on his old face.

Immediately afterwards, Old Xiao regained his energy and continued: "Since the hidden secret treasures are transported by royal family members using large-capacity storage rings, the escort team led by me also pretended to be ordinary people at night. The patrol was dressed up, so the journey went smoothly without any problems. ”

After a pause, Old Xiao added: "Moreover, the security force on the outside of the square was secretly increased several times, so the secret treasures were easily transferred in batches to the underground of the square in the center of the city."


"Excuse me, old gentleman, where is that specifically?"

Lei Xiao's eyes lit up and he asked immediately.

"It's right under the giant horse fountain in the central square of the city, about a kilometer away from here, and the direction is towards the mountain side."

Lao Xiaoer nodded to Lei Xiao and said without reservation.

"I understand. No wonder my opponents at the time didn't discover the true location of the treasure."

Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully: "No one would have thought that the Loren royal family would actually hide their secret treasure under the central square of the city in public."

"Your Excellency is right."

Old Xiao smiled lightly and added: "After all this is completed, just in case, we also covered the original stone bricks with an insulating ore layer that can greatly weaken detection magic. It adds an excellent barrier.”

At this point, Old Xiao's expression became a little weird again, and he said: "Sir, having said that, even if you know the location of the treasure place, it is not easy to obtain the secret treasure. Things.”

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Lei Xiao looked at Lao Xiao who looked a little embarrassed and said with confusion on his face.

"To be honest with you, for a period of time after that, I was still ordered to lead the escort team to patrol here every night."

Looking at Lei Xiao's confused eyes, Lao Xiao continued: "At the beginning, I didn't know the reason for the royal family's arrangement."

"It wasn't until later that I learned that the royal family secretly dispatched a highly respected court magician at the time, leading all the powerful court magicians to arrange a special magic spell using eight extremely rare magic forbidden crystals as guides. Magical ban.”

Old Xiao nodded to Lei Xiao and continued: "It is this special magic restriction that has become an obstacle to the secret treasure."

"Special magic restrictions?"

Lei Xiao frowned and listened quietly.

"Yes, there is only one key to this five-level magic ban, and that is a member of the Loren royal family who has the blood of the Loren royal family. No one else can unlock it."

Old Xiao nodded solemnly and responded: "If it is forcibly broken, the powerful chain magic trap inside the magic restriction will be automatically activated, causing all the secret treasures in it to be destroyed."

"So that's it."

Lei Xiao pondered and nodded, muttering to himself: "So, the best way to obtain this lost secret treasure is to find the descendants of the Loren royal family who have the blood of the Loren royal family?"


"Your Excellency is right, but when the royal capital was destroyed, it was still unknown whether anyone in the royal family would survive by chance. In addition, thousands of years have passed, and it would be a difficult task to find the descendants of the Loren royal family. I don’t know if there is a needle in the haystack.”

Old Xiao shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Therefore, please don't have too high hopes."

"It is certain to find a needle in a haystack, but what I can confirm is that the needle should be in the sea."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled mysteriously at Lao Xiao in front of him.

"What? Your Excellency, do you mean that... the descendants of the Loren royal family still exist in the world?"

A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Old Xiao's old face, and he asked in surprise: "How did you confirm this?"

"Here's the thing."

Lei Xiao smiled lightly and described to Lao Xiao the incident of accidentally discovering a mirage in the forest outside when he first came here.

"I never expected that such an incredible thing would happen. I met the mirage of a descendant of the royal family next to the ruins of the royal capital..."

After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Lao Xiaoer was stunned for a moment, and then he exclaimed in amazement: "It seems that this royal secret treasure that has been lost for thousands of years is already very close to you!"

"I hope so, and I always feel that I have seen that girl who is a descendant of the Loren royal family somewhere, but I just can't remember it. Maybe it's just my illusion."

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly.

"What is sad is that the royal family that once ruled a country has now been reduced to the point where it has to risk its life to go into the mountains to collect medicine? It really makes people lament the impermanence of the world."

Lao Xiao shook his head helplessly and sighed heavily.

"Nothing in this world remains unchanged. There is a proverb in my hometown, which is thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river. This is exactly what it says."

Lei Xiao smiled slightly at Old Xiao, regained his energy and said: "Old sir, it's time for us to leave. I believe that you and I will meet again in the near future."

After a pause, Lei Xiao seemed to remember something, and then said to the burly old man in front of him: "Mr. Xiaoer, your pendant's energy has been exhausted, right? Do you need someone to help you replenish it?"


Just when Lei Xiao said this, Chao Yan, who was drinking and eating and was wandering away, couldn't help but trembled. He quickly blinked his big eyes and took a few steps back, hiding behind Bai Wei.

"Thank you for your kindness. Although there is not much energy left in the pendant, it is still enough to maintain my sleeping state. I hope that when I wake up next time, I will be able to see a more powerful Your Excellency."

Lao Xiaoer waved his hand, and a hint of sadness appeared on his face.

While preparing for the inheritance of the bloodline, he had stayed here alone for an extremely long time.

It seemed that he no longer wanted to feel the loneliness of being bound by petrified shackles.

Old Xiao regained his composure and smiled again: "Your Excellency, my distant grandson is very enlightened. In a short period of time, he has completely grasped the essence of what I have learned throughout my life. I believe he will definitely be able to teach you." It was a big help.”

Speaking of this, Lao Xiaoer looked at Fang Hai who was reluctant to leave and said: "My grandson, remember, the blacksmith's work is long and arduous. What he forges is not just weapons, but a country or even a country." The backbone of the race ”

"Only with constant sharp blades in hand can this country or this race be invincible and stand proudly on this vast continent filled with thousands of races!"

"My great grandson would like to follow the teachings of our ancestors!"

Fang Hai immediately touched his chest and bowed in salute. There was a look of excitement on his old face, as he wished he could show off his skills in front of the magic furnace soon.

"Then Mr. Shore, let's leave here first."

After signaling the knotweed to restore the bluestone platform and the petrified statue to their original positions, and asking the two maids Aling and Bing to do some cleaning work in the secret room.

Lei Xiao first nodded to the burly old man, and then led his subordinates up the long stairs and left the underground secret room.

After a while, Ye Cang, who was walking at the end of the team, had just stepped on stable ground.

Accompanied by another muffled sound of "rumbling".

The entrance to the tunnel that was sunken in front slowly began to close, and then completely returned to its previous appearance.

"Japanese knotweed, go and get a magic furnace nearby to cover the entrance to this secret room."

Seeing this, Lei Xiao immediately nodded to the burly man in front of him.

After the knotweed placed the magic furnace, the group followed the path they came from and returned to the sunny forest ruins.

Next, Lei Xiao first commanded his subordinates to seal and cover the entrance here from the ground, as well as the holes that Hong Ye had penetrated before.

Then, based on the information provided by Old Xiao, they found the central square of the city where the royal family's secret treasure was located.

After careful observation, Lei Xiao noticed.

The giant horse fountain that Old Xiaoer mentioned has long been turned into piles of gravel of different sizes, covered with moss and weeds, and its original appearance cannot be seen at all.

Just like the ruined Kingdom of Loren, people can't help but sigh.

As for the original city center square, it has long been covered by the tangled roots of towering trees and dense bushes. With insects chirping and katydids jumping around, it looks full of vitality of nature.

"Lord, my subordinates have consciously checked it just now. Although the energy fluctuations emitted are extremely weak, there is indeed a very impressive magic restriction underneath."

Just when Lei Xiao saw this, he saw Hong Ye, who was wearing a high ponytail, walking forward and bowing to report in a sassy manner.

"Is that really the case?"

Lei Xiao held his chin with one hand and nodded thoughtfully.

"Lord, so we can only open this magic ban by finding descendants of the Loren royal family?"

Ariel, who was dressed in a smart outfit, took a step forward and frowned slightly.

After what she had just witnessed, she felt deeply as a member of the Leng Yan royal family, the current ruler of this land.

Especially when she thought about the thin and stubborn mirage girl she saw at the beginning, she couldn't help but be deeply shocked.

It's conceivable if I hadn't met the Lord.

According to the current chaotic situation of internal and external troubles, if it continues to develop, it may not be long before the same thing happens to the descendants of the Lengyan royal family.

And now, with the help of Lord Lord, her dream of letting all the people of Lengyan Kingdom live and work in peace and contentment is slowly coming true!

Thinking of this, Ariel's starry eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but cast an even more respectful look at Lei Xiao.

"Exactly."

Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then responded: "But from another perspective, this is not a bad thing. At least we know the mystery of the magic restriction first. Otherwise, if we break it directly, it may be difficult. Saved.”

"Your Lordship is right. Although this kind of practice of burning jade and stone together is very rare, it does exist, especially in this kind of treasure place."

I saw Hongye with her hands on her hips and her eyebrows furrowed.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Ye seemed to have remembered something, and bowed to Lei Xiao again: "But Lord, in addition to my subordinates, if there are two more fifth-level magic powerhouses present to suppress the formation, my subordinates will be able to completely Avoid this happening.”

"In other words, if we want the treasures in it to open this magic restriction without any damage, we must either find the descendants of the Loren royal family, or have two more powerful fifth-level magic experts in our team. ?”

"No matter which one it is, it seems to be a bit difficult now."

After hearing Hong Ye's words, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, the first thing Lei Xiao thought of was naturally the half-elf ancestor Jiang Li.

"This guy has been out for a while, but there is still no news. Even if I try to contact him, I can't contact him. I think there should be news soon, right?"

"With her elusive space magic and the blessed invisibility cloak, it is difficult to even think about anything."

"And after she woke up from her slumber, she has already appeared on the list of people in my submitted tribe, the Yuebai tribe. She is currently in a state of survival."

"It's worth mentioning that before Jiang Li showed up, there was already an item on the Yuebai clan's personnel list indicated by "???". It wasn't until she showed up that it was replaced with her attributes. , but this situation did not happen to the Xueyu clan. ”

Lei Xiao curled his lips helplessly and continued to think: "However, since there has been no news from her, it must have been delayed by something, right?" (End of Chapter)
