Chapter 958 The Trial of the Phantom Clan
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, Ariel, Jiang Li, Hu Zhi and others also looked nervously, and they all looked at the ethereal Phantom Priest Shirley.
Everyone present clearly understood that the current situation in Kel's Fort was turbulent. Although the 10 legion merchant merchants in the outer city were still resisting with all their strength.
But after all, the number of opponents is more than twice that of ours. In addition, Kel's Fort is connected in all directions and is still the opponent's territory, which is not conducive to our defense.
If the time is delayed too long, the merchant army regiment that cannot be supplied will undoubtedly become a piece of fish on the opponent's chopping block, and the result can be imagined.
As for the 12 legions located in the central city, although everything went very smoothly, this was based on the fact that the opponent voluntarily gave up the magic tower.
We still don’t know what kind of murderous intention and another secret trump card is hidden in this.
All in all, when the opponent has both trump cards, the only thing we can do now is to destroy the siren's trump card first to reduce the opponent's deterrent effect on us.
Otherwise, once the opponent swallows up any force in our outer city or the central city, then the other force will naturally be unable to support itself.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, and everyone, but in terms of illusions alone, the Sirens have almost no weaknesses unless they are forcibly crushed by strength."
Looking at the nervous expressions of Lei Xiao and his group, Shirley sighed softly, shook her head helplessly and said: "But judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the other party has the absolute upper hand, and this is why our illusionist Collective frustration.”
"Your Excellency, Chief Priest, is there nothing we can do?"
Lei Xiao didn't hesitate and asked immediately.
"Don't worry, your Excellency. When my phantom clan fought a war of illusions with the huge Siren race, one of the ways we were able to win was our phantom clan's most precious treasure, the Law-Disturbing Bell."
Shirley hesitated for a moment and then responded: "This object is specially made to deal with the Sirens. It can greatly slow down the influence of the Siren clan's demon songs in a certain area. It can be called the absolute nemesis of the Siren clan."
"Oh?"
Lei Xiao's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "Where is this thing now? Please let me know, Chief Priest."
After a pause, Lei Xiao added: "Of course, I will not take the nobles' treasures for nothing, and I will pay corresponding rewards."
"To be honest with you, the Bell of Disturbing Laws happens to be enshrined in this temple."
Shirley nodded to Lei Xiao and responded: "As for the reward you mentioned, I don't need it. After all, our Phantom Tribe has been lost in the torrent of history for a long time, and only little girls are left in the once glorious civilization. This wisp of remains.”
Shirley sighed softly, and then said seriously: "But my phantom clan has an iron rule, that is, you must pass my clan's trial before you can get what you want. This little girl cannot break this rule."
"The trials of my phantom clan use special dreams and illusions, and they do not need to consume you for too long."
"In addition, the basic condition for accepting the trial of my phantom clan is that the trialist must be an illusionist himself."
"But as you are actually the chosen son of God, you also have the qualifications to participate in the test by using the power of God's favor."
After saying this, a look of solemnity appeared on Shirley's delicate face.
"However, the content of the trial is ever-changing, and it contains unpredictable fatal dangers. There are not a few trialists who have lost their lives because of it, and it can even be said that the vast majority of them did not come out alive."
Hearing what Shirley said, Ariel looked anxious and asked: "Dear chief priest, can only lords who are the chosen sons of God be able to participate? Can we participate instead?"
< br>
After Ariel finished speaking, the main subordinates such as Gracilaria and Huzhang also took a step forward and nodded, looking like they were scrambling to be the first.
"I'm sorry everyone. Although there are many fifth-level experts among you, the fifth-level experts who are not from the illusion system simply cannot stay awake in the trial of my phantom clan."
Shirley shook her head helplessly and denied: "The only person here who is eligible to participate in the trial is the one who is no different from the chosen son of God."
"Don't worry, I never escaped death."
Lei Xiao gently patted Ariel's shoulder, who looked anxious, and nodded to other subordinates who also looked worried, indicating that everyone should not worry.
Then, Lei Xiao turned around, nodded to Shirley and said, "Your Excellency, Chief Priest, I am willing to participate in the trial."
"Your Excellency is indeed very courageous."
A hint of appreciation appeared on Shirley's fair face, and she added: "Your Excellency, although the chosen son of God also has the qualifications to participate in the trial, it is the first time in history for you to participate at the fourth level like you. It is dangerous. The coefficient will be doubled. Are you sure you want to participate? ”
"Your Excellency, Chief Priest, the war I am currently experiencing will change the fate of a country and even all human nations. As a leader, I bear the burden of hundreds of thousands or even more people. Life, I had no choice from the beginning.”
Lei Xiao shrugged and said with a calm expression: "Time is urgent, please, Chief Priest, start immediately."
At this moment, Lei Xiao clearly understood that he had no choice if he wanted to break the opponent's illusion counterattack.
After all, if you find a countermeasure as soon as possible, the Merchant Army in Kel's Fort will have more hope of victory, otherwise everything will be irreversible.
"This is the final battle to determine the ownership of the throne. As long as I defeat the Fourth Prince and his group, I can fulfill my promise and realize my long-standing plan, send Ariel to the throne, and watch Ariel be crowned king with my own eyes. .”
"By then, the entire Cold Flame Kingdom will be under my control."
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, obviously ready to participate in the trial.
"Your courage is admirable, let's get started."
Looking at Lei Xiao's unwavering eyes, Shirley raised her eyebrows and motioned for Lei Xiao to sit down on the prayer stone bench nearby. This was the temple of the Phantom Clan, and the most important thing was seats.
Just as he sat down on the stone bench, Lei Xiao felt that Shirley, standing in front of him, gently blew a breath of fragrance into his ear. The dark temple scene around him was immediately filled with thick white mist. , as if falling into a fog.
In the blink of an eye, when Lei Xiao's surroundings became clear again, he found himself alone in a majestic yet magical palace.
The walls around the palace are as tall as a city wall, and they are filled with elegant silvery white and holy pure white.
Whether it is the stone pillars supporting the palace or various art sculptures, their positions and even shapes will change in the blink of an eye, making the entire palace dreamlike and magical.
But that's not the most surprising thing.
The most striking thing is that the ground of this palace is actually almost transparent. Lei Xiao can even clearly see the scene outside the palace through the exquisitely engraved floor tiles of the palace.
What caught Lei Xiao's eyes was a magnificent city-state built on the mountain. Its size was comparable to Crystal Blue City, and it was the largest city Lei Xiao had ever seen.
A silver waterfall flew down from one side of the majestic city-state and fell into the city's Grand Canal below, stirring up layers of crystal spray.
The palace where Lei Xiao is located is located on the top of the mountain, with a panoramic view of the entire city.
It was the rising sun at this time, and the two rising suns in the sky had dispelled most of the haze in the city and brought soft light to this land.
In the huge residential area surrounding the palace, houses that also use silver and pure white as the main colors are so scattered that it is difficult to see the end at a glance.
From the top of the well-renovated house, smoke began to rise one after another.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, sometimes there is a line of colorful birds passing through the smoke from the kitchen, or passing through the water in the city canal, leaving fleeting shadows, just like a beautiful city Landscape painting.
On the balcony of the house, there are clothes drying racks or neatly arranged potted plants, which add a simple atmosphere to the place.
On the spacious and tidy streets, the shops have not yet started operating, and the patrols of armored soldiers complement each other perfectly with the towering city walls and solid fortresses in the distance.
The endless city walls and fortresses in the distance surrounded the entire city, and the huge city gates connected the flat business roads that stretched out.
On the towering city wall, rows of mist-colored battle flags were seen fluttering in the wind. The coat of arms depicted on it was a high tower hidden in the mist, which was exactly the same as the coat of arms in the Phantom Clan temple.
"So, is this a city of the Phantom Clan? Judging from the scale alone, it is probably as large as six Kyle Castles or four Lionheart Cities. It is simply a breathtaking giant city. ”
Lei Xiao just thought of this in his mind.
There was a sudden turmoil in the originally empty main hall.
In the blink of an eye, two rows of expressionless magic guards wearing fog-colored robes appeared around Lei Xiao. There were hundreds of them.
The movements of these magic guards were uniform, and there were men and women among them. Judging from the momentum, they were all fourth-level or above. The several guard captains standing at the front wearing gorgeous uniforms were obviously fifth-level strong men.
Before Lei Xiao could react, a burst of sudden footsteps sounded.
A tall young woman wearing a gray and white silk robe and a golden crown walked elegantly into the hall on a pair of crystal high heels, accompanied by more than a dozen attendants dressed in rich costumes.
Listening to the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground, Lei Xiao's eyes quickly focused on the shining and exquisite crown on the young woman's head.
At this point, the identity of the other party is naturally self-evident, she is the queen of the Phantom Clan.
And in the team of gorgeously attired followers behind him, Lei Xiao also saw a familiar slender figure, which was the chief priest Shirley in white robes.
However, there was an indifferent expression on the other party's fair face, and he did not even look at Lei Xiao. From this, it can be seen that this is not the remnant soul of Shirley that was in the temple just now, but an illusion simulated by the illusion.
"It seems that these are the top leaders of the Phantom Clan, that is, the ministers."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and took further notice.
Including Shirley, the space around these ministers was slightly distorted, and they were all fifth-level powerhouses.
As for the fair-skinned and beautiful young queen, she did not emit any energy fluctuations, but gave people an extremely oppressive feeling, making it almost difficult to breathe.
In comparison, Shirley and other fifth-level powerhouses paled in comparison, just like the stars meeting the bright moon.
"A sixth-level powerhouse? I have never seen such a strong sense of oppression. I didn't expect to be handed over to this illusion for the first time."
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath, his eyes becoming more serious.
A sixth-level powerhouse can easily destroy an entire legion with a snap of his fingers, enough to face the simultaneous attack of hundreds of thousands of troops alone and remain in an invincible position.
"Speaking of which, is there one sixth-level powerhouse and nearly 20 fifth-level powerhouses? This is just what I saw. The lineup is simply a dream."
Apart from the fright in his heart, a shock rose from the bottom of Lei Xiao's heart.
If everything simulated in the illusion was the real combat power of the Phantom Clan back then, it would be really terrifying.
After all, compared to well-known races with powerful combat capabilities such as humans, elves, and dwarves, the phantom race is just an ordinary member of all races.
But even so, he still possesses such dazzling combat power.
"It's a pity that even this extremely impressive race was completely annihilated in that mysterious blank era. What happened back then was able to involve so many powerful races in that war that even the gods were involved in?" In the next battle?”
Just as Lei Xiao's heart was shaking, the Queen of the Phantom Tribe had already sat down on the throne at the top, and her graceful and ethereal female voice resounded throughout the hall.
"So that's it, has it been 3000 years? The power of God in the Silver Moon Era no longer envelopes the earth. The orphans of all races who were lost in the Star Era have still been carrying the burden day and night for 3000 years, until Today.”
There was a bit of melancholy in the graceful female voice, and she shook her head helplessly: "And the once glorious phantom clan now only exists in scattered legends?"
"I'm very sorry to disturb Her Majesty the Queen."
After hearing the sigh from 3,000 years ago, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, gave a simple salute and said: "Since Her Majesty the Queen can read your mind, she should also know what I want in my heart, right?"
"As a human trialer from another world, the fact that you can stand in this illusion with level four strength is enough to prove your courage."
The queen looked Lei Xiao up and down, nodded slightly and said: "The human race and the phantom race are a friendly country. As long as you can pass the trial, I will give you the Bell of Disturbing Laws."
< br>
"A huge thank you to Her Majesty the Queen."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly, then slowly took a deep breath and said: "Then, I will ask Her Majesty the Queen for advice."
"But before that, I have one more thing I need to ask you."
The queen suddenly frowned, and her calm expression turned serious. (End of chapter)
