Chapter 813 The Lord and the King of Knights (Part 2)
"Your Excellency, please wait a moment."
Old Roy first nodded to Lei Xiao, then took a deep breath, and the expression on his old wrinkled face began to become more solemn.
The former King of Knights gently placed his thick, weathered palms on the top of the horse's head on the back of the Knight's Throne, and rubbed it back and forth for a moment, apparently activating some special mechanism.
Immediately afterwards, there was a heavy rumbling sound of friction, and a bluestone platform engraved with exquisite patterns slowly rose from directly in front of the throne.
Looking at the gradually rising bluestone platform, Lei Xiao noticed.
In the center of the bluestone platform, there is a small and exquisite orange brocade box. The brocade box is larger than the potion box, about the size of two palms.
"Your Excellency, please take a look."
Old Roy walked to the bluestone platform with a solemn expression and slowly opened the brocade box on it. His meticulous expression was as if he was undergoing a solemn ceremony.
With the opening of the brocade box, a crystal-clear and flawless orange gem caught the eyes of everyone present.
This orange gemstone is about the same size as a fist and is in the shape of a regular sphere. It looks exquisite and translucent, with dazzling colorful brilliance surging inside, as if it contains a rainbow after the rain.
In addition, the entire body of the orange gemstone is covered with extremely complex magic lines. The symmetrical and profound magic lines are perfectly integrated with the gem itself, and it can be said to be extremely exquisite.
What is even more surprising is that under the reflection of the magic light ball.
The crystal clear surface of this orange gemstone did not reflect any light, and the shimmering colors were not reflected on anything around it, as if it did not belong to this space at all.
Lei Xiao can be sure that although he has seen all kinds of treasures and wonderful items since time traveling, this is the first time he has seen this unique and special gem.
"What a wonderful gem."
Seeing this scene, Erza's lips opened slightly and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Lord, during the process of exploring the ruins, I have seen all kinds of gems, but I have never seen such a magical one. ”
"That's right, I haven't seen it before."
Ariel's starry eyes were full of surprise, and she nodded in agreement: "This orange gemstone looks like a miniature miracle building, as if it contains endless mystery and wisdom."
"No wonder you will feel a vague dizziness after just staring at it for a few seconds. This feeling has only been experienced in miracle buildings!"
Chaoyan blinked his iconic big eyes with a surprised expression, and said with surprise: "This is not so much a gem as a miraculous building in the palm of your hand!"
"A miracle building in the palm of your hand? It's quite appropriate."
Lei Xiao slowly moved his gaze away from the orange gem, then fell on the old face of Roy, and asked: "Your Majesty, the King of Knights, what kind of magical thing is this?"
"Young Sir, do you still remember the reason for the destruction of the Kingdom of Loren?"
Old Roy did not answer Lei Xiao's question directly, but asked with a gentle face.
"Because the Loren royal family first abandoned the serfdom system and touched the interests of dignitaries in other countries, they were attacked by a group."
Lei Xiao nodded solemnly and responded.
"Haha, if you want to impose a crime, why bother? That's just the appearance of the matter."
Old Roy shook his head helplessly, and then said seriously: "Actually, the real reason why those guys attacked the Kingdom of Loren is to try to get their hands on this wonderful gem in my hand!"
"Oh? You actually launched a huge war to destroy the country just for a gem?"
Lei Xiao's face was full of surprise, and he nodded suddenly and said thoughtfully: "So it turns out that "the thing that those guys want to get with all their lives" mentioned by His Majesty the Knight King is this thing?" ”
"That's right, just as you said."
Old Roy's old face was full of solemnity, and then he laughed loudly: "But things are unpredictable. Although those guys destroyed my country, no one was spared in the end. On the contrary, it was me and this [God] Shi Shi] persisted until the end, which is simply a great irony!”
"[Stone of God]?"
Hearing this strange but meaningful new term, Lei Xiao's curiosity became more obvious, and he asked: "What exactly is this [Stone of God]?"
"To be honest with you, just as it is described in the literal sense, the [God's Stone] is a gem made by the gods themselves. It contains power that ordinary people can't imagine. Or it is more appropriate to call it the power of gods. Some.”
Old Roy held the orange gem in his hands and began to slowly walk down the platform with Sarah's support.
"In addition, there is not only one [God's Stone], and the "God's Power" contained in each piece is also different, but without exception, they all possess extremely powerful power. ”
"Among them, some high-quality [God's Stones], once activated, can not only easily destroy a city, ruin an army, but can even turn an entire area of thousands of miles into scorched earth."
"What's even more terrifying is that the [God's Stone] is not a one-time item, but can be recycled as long as it automatically accumulates enough energy."
"But these are not the most important. Once a certain number of [God's Stones] are gathered, or the "God's Power" reaches a certain scale, you can obtain new divine enlightenment and move towards the truth of the entire world. . ”
At this point, old Roy had already walked off the platform with Sarah's support.
The frail old king came to Lei Xiao and continued to speak: "Your Excellency, although this matter sounds a little difficult to understand, it is absolutely true."
"Is it a [God's Stone] that contains powerful power? And if you gather a certain number of [God's Stone], you can actually get "divine enlightenment"? And then move towards the truth of this world? ”
After listening to Old Roy's shocking words, Lei Xiao's expression began to become more serious.
Lei Xiao didn't have the slightest doubt about what Old Roy said.
Because through the orange gem that was already close at hand, Lei Xiao had already opened its attribute bar.
[Name: Stone of God ψ] (Activated)
【Quality: Extraordinary】
【Power of God: 100%】
[Owner: Roy Loren (only successors with the blood of the Loren family can inherit)]
[Construction secret method:? ? ? 】
[Note: The God's Stone held by the Loren royal family of the human race, this country that advocates chivalry, was eventually destroyed under the iron heel of the Alliance Army, and it was this God's Stone that sparked all this. 】
After closing the attribute bar of [God's Stone], Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.
At this moment, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
Since the Blank Age, the gods have been completely away from people's sight and have long since disappeared.
So much so that today, three thousand years later, most people are skeptical about whether gods really exist in this world.
This belief has long since collapsed.
If other people would find it unbelievable and unable to accept such incredible words as "a gem made by the god himself", "the power of the god contained", and "obtaining new divine revelations".
Then, I definitely would not think so.
After all, after going through the conversation with Wang Xi in the place where the ancestors slept, and the two places blessed by gods, the City of Light and the Crystal Blue City, I could already confirm it.
The gods were indeed active in this land until the coming of the Empty Age.
"Combining the words of Sarah's ancestors, it is not difficult to see that this [God's Stone], which contains the power of God, has extremely powerful power."
"Moreover, as long as a certain number is collected, God's revelation can be obtained. Is this related to the blank era?"
"But after experiencing the "Land of God's Favor" and even becoming the new owner of Crystal Blue City, why have I never heard of the term "God's Stone" before? ”
In confusion, Lei Xiao looked at Lian, who was standing respectfully beside him, with a questioning look.
Lian is a real divine servant, and it is still unclear whether he may know some clues.
However, Rei shook his head with a confused look on his face, apparently he had never heard of the existence of the [God's Stone].
"Rei's memories of the blank era have been fragmented and almost no longer exist. If you think about it carefully, this is reasonable."
Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly, and then looked at Ariel, Jiang Li, Erza, Hongye, Lina, Garth and other subordinates.
Ariel comes from the Cold Flame Royal Family, Gracilaria is the half-elf ancestor, Erza comes from the Dark Elf Clan and is also a knowledgeable historian, Hongye comes from the Dragon Clan, Lina comes from the Mandela Clan, Garth He is also a legendary alchemist with extensive knowledge, which undoubtedly includes all the important sources of information in the territory.
But the expressions of these main and subordinates were exactly the same as Lian's, and they were also at a loss.
"Sure enough, there are no clues about the [Stone of God]? This term has never appeared in historical data."
"It is not difficult to see from this that the [God's Stone] is definitely an extremely rare legendary item. This also explains why the Alliance Army wanted to obtain this item at all costs."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and continued to ponder.
And, that's for sure.
The powerful power contained in the [God's Stone] is enough to change the power structure of both the enemy and ourselves, and even the power structure of the human nations.
Therefore, he must not miss it, and he must avoid such a dangerous item from falling into the hands of his opponent.
"Wait! I remember the Nightmare Knight once said that the purpose of the Black Abyss Brotherhood's actions at all costs is to seize the "relics of the old contract" scattered everywhere. ”
"Use these "old contract relics" as keys to open those "doors" and obtain the "truth". ”
"Then, those so-called "truths" are not referring to the [Stone of God], right? ”
"If the other party has really obtained such a powerful item, then the situation will be extremely bad."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao frowned and asked the old Roy in front of him: "Your Majesty, the King of Knights, how did you obtain this [Stone of God] in the first place?"
"I didn't expect that Your Excellency, who comes from another world, would accept everything about the [God's Stone] so quickly. It's really extraordinary."
Old Roy was quite surprised and replied truthfully: "The [God's Stone] in my hand comes from the secret inheritance of the Loren clan."
"It's the ancestor of the Iluolun clan. It was found in a lost place called the "Gate of Silence". ”
“And as far as I know, the ‘Gate of Silence’ is just one of many ‘doors of truth’, and there are many ‘doors of truth’ that have not yet been opened in this land. ”
"Only by finding those "relics of old contracts" lost in the blank era, as the "Key to Truth", can we open other "Doors of Truth" hidden in various places and obtain more [Stones of God]. ”
"In addition, each "door of truth" that has not yet been opened requires a different "key to truth". This seems to have some unknown rules. ”
After hearing what Old Roy said, Lei Xiao's hands were already soaked with sweat.
The old king's response undoubtedly represented good news and bad news.
The good news is that I finally figured out the purpose of the Black Abyss Brotherhood's actions.
But the bad news is that the Black Abyss Brotherhood, with its hands and eyes, has been acting desperately for such a long time, and it is impossible to achieve nothing.
I'm afraid that the other party has already mastered it, or will soon master the [God's Stone].
"According to Old Roy, the [God Stone] has different qualities, and the "God Power" it can exert is also different. ”
"If the Black Abyss Brotherhood really masters the [God's Stone] that surpasses the fifth-level powerhouse, then the situation will be really dangerous."
"However, judging from the fact that the other party has not yet attacked me, it should be that they are not absolutely sure enough to destroy me, or that the other party is entangled in other things and has not had time to deal with me yet."
Lei Xiao wiped his sweat-soaked hands on his clothes, then frowned in thought.
"By the way, I also possess items that are suspected of being the "Key of Truth" such as the "Eternal Night Magic Box", "Fenglan Wings", "Titan's Eyes", "Starry Sky Key", "Immortal Furnace", etc. ”
"As long as you can open one or more "doors of truth" first, you may be able to gain power that rivals the opponent! ”
Thinking of this with excitement in his heart, Lei Xiao quickly asked Old Roy: "Does your Majesty know the specific locations of other "Gates of Truth" that have not yet been opened? ”
"Unfortunately, Your Excellency, I did not know this."
Old Roy shook his head helplessly and responded truthfully: "The 'Gate of Truth' is not a door in the traditional sense. It may appear in every corner of the world, such as the 'Gate of Silence' opened by the ancestors of the Woluolun clan. ” is a broken sword stuck in a stone that cannot be pulled out. ”
After a pause, Old Roy seemed to remember something, and added: "However, there is also a way to pursue the "Gate of Truth"! ”
"Oh? I would like to hear the details."
Lei Xiao's dark eyes lit up and he continued to listen attentively. (End of chapter)
