Chapter 551 In Blue Cold Castle


Chapter 551 In Blue Cold Castle

In addition to doubts, Lei Xiao looked at Hezhuang and Hongye beside him with questioning eyes.

On the other side, the two people immediately understood each other, closed their eyes and began to perceive.

However, after a while, the two fifth-level powerhouses who reopened their eyes slightly shook their heads towards Lei Xiao, obviously gaining nothing.

"No abnormal energy fluctuations?"

Lei Xiao frowned slightly. Lei Xiao, who was only a few dozen steps away from the city gate, first stood under a big tree, and then asked softly.

In this position, not far away from the group of people, people were already coming and going, and it was extremely lively.

Therefore, Lei Xiao's voice will naturally not attract the attention of other business travelers and residents around him.

"Back to the lord, from the perspective of aura distribution, the main city of Lan Cold Castle is not large in size, even much smaller than Kongqing Town. Most of the residents are scattered on farms in the surrounding suburbs. and in the orchard, so it is easy to perceive clearly. ”

Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Huzhang reported: "According to my subordinates' perception, there are only the auras of one fourth-level powerhouse and more than twenty third-level powerhouses here.

Among them, the fourth-level powerhouses are located in the center of the city, while many third-level powerhouses are mainly distributed on the streets inside and outside the city. Apart from this, there are no other suspicious energy fluctuations. ”

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

Needless to say, the fourth-level powerhouse mentioned by Huzhang is obviously the city lord here, Marquis Rose.

As for such a large number of third-level powerhouses, in addition to local forces, they should be other noble forces who came to purchase and escort drinks.

"The knotweed is right."

Hong Ye on the side nodded and agreed: "If there are really traces of monsters here, their strength must be only below the second level."

"How can a monster below the second level be dangerous?"

Hearing this, Chao Yan blinked his big eyes and said puzzledly to Bai Wei beside him: "Xiao Bai, did you hear it wrong?"

"It's impossible. I did smell a strange beast's body odor. I can never mistake that weird smell that is vaguely filled with terror."

Shaking her head slightly, Bai Wei wrinkled her nose and sniffed the air for a long time, then said again: "And there seems to be only one in number."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, a look of confusion appeared on her fair face, and she reported to Lei Xiao: "Lord, that strange beast's body odor just now suddenly disappeared in the city..."


"Disappeared?"

Hearing the sound, the curious look on Lei Xiao's face became more obvious.

He murmured in his heart: "According to the current clues, if this monster really exists, is its strength below the second level, but very dangerous? This is an unheard of thing."< br>


Pouring his lips slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think: "In addition, Bai Wei finally said that the smell suddenly disappeared in the city. How to explain this?"

"After all, even if it is killed, the smell will remain for a period of time. This is really incredible."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao returned his gaze to the peaceful scene of people coming and going in front of him.

It can be seen that, if nothing else, this seemingly peaceful brewing town obviously hides an unknown undercurrent.

"Lord, what should we do now?"

Hong Ye frowned slightly, bowed to Lei Xiao and asked.

"Let's go to the city according to the original plan. The main purpose of our coming this time is to find out the details of Blue Cold Castle, to see if it has fallen to a certain prince, and to control it as much as possible. This is not true. Changed.”

Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao continued: "As for the special situation that is happening now, let's pay more attention and adapt accordingly."

"As you command, Lord!"

On the other side, all the subordinates quietly took orders.

Next, following the flow of horse teams entering the city and stepping into the city wall gate of Blue Cold Castle, Lei Xiao noticed.

First, what appeared in front of him was a bustling commercial street.

On the streets filled with the strong aroma of wine, there are busy cars and people. Most of the shops on the left and right are various taverns and wine shops.

In addition to the local residents, traders, mercenaries, travelers and tourists, a considerable part of the people on the streets are male and female nobles wearing various gorgeous costumes.

If you look carefully, you can see that behind these nobles, there are three or five servants standing respectfully, or followed by three or five guards with sharp eyes.

They all stopped in front of a stall with oak barrels and parasols, sipping the wine in their glasses and chatting and laughing.

While pushing the cups and changing the cups, the goblets in each hand swayed slightly, causing the crystal clear wine in them to ripple and shine in the bright sunshine.

"This looks like a big open-air party."

Seeing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but admire secretly in his heart.

Among these nobles, there are many third-level senior experts and third-level peak experts. Their strength can be said to be quite impressive.

However, for Lei Xiao and his team, whose strength is at the peak of the third level and possesses a variety of concealment methods, they naturally do not pose any threat.

While walking on the lively streets, Lei Xiao noticed further.

After tasting the fine wines of a certain store, many wealthy aristocrats would often take out a heavy money bag from their storage rings, throw it on the shop owner's counter, and start making purchases.

This kind of lavish spending caused many travelers, mercenaries and civilians passing by to let out low exclamations and talk to each other in low voices.

Most of the contents discussed the origin and origin of this nobleman based on the family crest on his chest.

Lei Xiao, on the other hand, laughed it off and didn't even take a second look.

For him, who is buying boxes of golden dragons one after another, these moneybag-level purchases are obviously too low-end.

"Bai Wei, can you still smell that strange smell just now?"

When the group of people passed through the most prosperous neighborhood and came to the corner of the street where there were few people, Lei Xiao frowned and asked again.

"Back to the lord, my subordinates have smelled it carefully. There is not even a trace of the unique smell of dangerous monsters just now. It is simply incredible."

On the other side, on Bai Wei's fair face, a pair of azure star eyes twinkled, revealing a look full of confusion.

"That's all, let's do the main thing first."

Gently patting Bai Wei's thin shoulder, Lei Xiao said to the other subordinates: "Let's go directly to the City Lord's Mansion here."

"As you command, Lord."

Hearing the sound, all the subordinates bowed in response.

In this way, we continued forward along the neatly repaired road, after passing through several blocks and residential areas.

An extremely gorgeous castle came into view of the group.

At a glance, one can see that what is different from most quaint castles is that the entire castle is painted a bright rose red, in a very magnificent Baroque style.

The surface of the castle is engraved with various exquisite wall carvings and gold-inlaid lace, which looks jewel-like and unforgettable.

"What an unconventional castle. It is simply non-mainstream in the sword and magic world."

Looking up at the dazzling rose-colored castle in front of him, Lei Xiao couldn't help but raised his eyebrows slightly and exclaimed secretly in his heart.

On the other side, Ariel snorted with great disdain and muttered in a low voice: "Hey, this color is simply baffling."

Then, after remembering the face of Rose Marquis, Ariel shuddered involuntarily and stopped talking.

Next, under the leadership of Lei Xiao, the group of people walked directly towards the Lord's Palace of Blue Cold Castle without hesitation.

Regarding how to figure out the Rose Marquis's position, Lei Xiao, after some discussions with his subordinates, finally chose the simplest and most direct method, which was to knock the mountain to shake the tiger.

Directly reveal the identity of Ariel Lengyan's fifth princess and Princess Keqing, first see how the other party reacts, and then wait for the opportunity to act.

In an extremely limited space like a castle, with one's own powerful combat power, one can easily defeat cleverness with force, rendering all the possible strategies of the opponent useless.

"Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Fang Hai, A Ling, A Bing, the seven of you are lurking near the castle. Always pay attention to the surrounding movements. If there is any situation, report to me as soon as possible. And if once inside the castle If something unexpected happens, I will inform you as soon as possible to respond.”

Arriving at a hidden place in a dark alley near the city lord's palace, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then ordered to the subordinates: "And I, Huzhang, Hongye, Ariel, Bert, Jubai, and Baiwei directly Reveal your identity and enter the castle.”

"Yes! Lord!"

After hearing Lei Xiao's deployment, all the subordinates bowed in unison and said in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on Bai Wei, a pair of white fluffy ears above his head.

This time, the reason why Lei Xiao wanted to bring Bai Wei with him was naturally to further clarify the source of the mysterious and strange dangerous monster.

It is not difficult to imagine that the best hiding place in this city is undoubtedly the heavily guarded City Lord's Mansion.

If that mysterious monster is once related to Rose Marquis.

Then, as a member of the Snow Wolf Clan who is recognized as having an extremely sensitive sense of smell, Bai Wei is very likely to be able to scare the snake away.

And the illusion cloak that can hide the identity of Bai Weixue's wolf clan cannot be effective on Rose Marquis, who is a fourth-level powerhouse.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a bit in a dilemma.

"Lord, if you want to continue to hide Bai Wei's sister's Snow Wolf clan identity, my subordinates have a good idea."

On the other side, seeing Lei Xiao's concerns, Ariel smiled mysteriously and then spoke.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up and he nodded to indicate to the other party to continue speaking.

"Then it's natural to use this object."

Immediately afterwards, Ariel's mind moved, and a delicate gray silk mask appeared on her palm.

Smiling at Lei Xiao, Ariel explained: "Lord, this thing is called [Illusion Mask]. Its effect is almost the same as [Illusion Cloak], both of which can serve as disguise."
< br>

Handing the mask respectfully to Lei Xiao's hands, Ariel continued: "However, unlike the [Illusion Cloak] which can completely change the body shape and clothing, the [Illusion Mask] can only change the appearance of the wearer. .

Moreover, except for the fifth-level experts, almost no one can see the clues of [Illusion Mask]. ”

Having said this, Ariel straightened her towering chest and said proudly: "Lord, this mask is extremely rare, and it will definitely be of great help to the Lord!"

"That's it, it's perfect."

Feeling the smooth feel of the thin silk mask in his hand, Lei Xiao casually opened its attribute bar.

【Name: Genjutsu Mask】

[Level: Level 4 Epic (Purple)]

[Defense Strength: None]

[Additional effect: Level 4 Disguise Technique "Each time it is worn, the appearance will be randomly changed, and it will be effective for powerful persons of Level 4 and below"]

[Remarks: The illusion mask was personally enchanted by Master Jinwen, the fourth-level illusionist of the Cold Flame Kingdom. Due to the high difficulty of enchantment, there are very few existing ones, and they are only available to the Cold Flame royal family. 】

Just when Lei Xiao saw this.

Just listen to Ariel continue to say: "By the way, Lord, the subordinates of this mask brought three pieces from the palace, and they were also used by Qing Bert and Qing Jubai before."

After Ariel finished speaking, she respectfully handed the other two identical [Illusion Masks] to Lei Xiao as if she was asking for credit.

"Ariel, you have made a great contribution this time."

While talking, Lei Xiao had already put three pieces of [Illusion Mask] into the space bracelet and started upgrading directly.

[Congratulations, your "Fourth Level Mask: Illusion Mask" has been upgraded to "Fourth Level Mask: Illusion Mask" 102 pairs! 】

[Congratulations, your "Fourth Level Mask: Illusion Mask" has been upgraded to "Fourth Level Mask: Illusion Mask" 103 sets! 】

[Congratulations, your "Fourth-Level Mask: Illusion Mask" has been upgraded to "Fifth-Level Mask: Miracle Mask"! 】

"Two quantitative changes and one qualitative change?"

Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, with a thought in his mind, he casually opened the attribute bar of the new fifth-level mask.

【Name: Miracle Mask】

[Grade: Level 5 Extraordinary (Silver)]

[Defense Strength: None]

[Additional effect: Level 5 Disguise Technique "Every time it is worn, the appearance will be randomly changed, and it will be effective for powerful persons of Level 5 and below"]

[Remarks: This miraculous mask can be transformed into a different appearance every time it is worn. It is said that its last owner was a famous Thousand-Faced Rogue. 】

"Yes, yes. In this way, I am Lord Thousand Faces. When I need to hide my identity, this mask is perfect!"

Looking at the introduction on the attribute column, a look of joy appeared on Lei Xiao's face.

Compared to the illusion cloak, the illusion mask cannot change its body shape.

But a higher class can undoubtedly play an irreplaceable role in disguise in certain situations, such as this situation.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then he looked at Ariel in disbelief.

A stack of neatly stacked illusion masks was distributed one by one to all the subordinates present. (End of chapter)
