[Congratulations! The hidden function of your miracle building "Guardian Defense Agency" has been activated! 】
[Congratulations! Your miracle building "Guardian Defense Agency" has unlocked a new guardian "Sky Guardian"! 】
[Congratulations! Your miracle building "Guardian Defense Agency" has unlocked the new building special effect "Guardian Optimization"! ]
"Guardian of the Sky?"
After hearing this series of prompts, Lei Xiao didn't wait for him to react.
At the same time, a dull, low rumble sounded suddenly, and the entire flat masonry floor began to tremble slightly.
Immediately afterwards, in the center of the hall emitting dim blue light, there were neatly arranged charging bases.
Eight new stone bases with a slightly larger area began to slowly emerge from the ground.
After a while, when the new charging base was fully displayed in front of Lei Xiao, eight dark dark blue light pillars immediately rose from the new base.
The next second, there were waves of energy fluctuations.
Within the light pillar, burly and tall figures began to quickly condense in the air.
Since all this happened in a flash of lightning, it was not until Lei Xiao came back to his senses.
The beam of light in front of him had already turned into tiny energy particles and disappeared in mid-air.
On top of the brand-new base, there are eight giant stone statues of warriors holding lances, almost identical to the guardians of the earth.
Seeing this, I was surprised.
Just when Lei Xiao temporarily put away the Magic Box of Eternal Night, took a step forward, and prepared to observe carefully.
Accompanied by a sudden strong wind.
Behind each new stone statue, a pair of stone wings like angel wings suddenly spread out.
At first glance, it looks like a statue of a fully armed battle angel.
"Good guy, is this the Guardian of the Sky?"
Looking up at the tall and mighty new stone statue in front of him, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show a curious expression with great interest.
At the same time, feeling the unusual energy fluctuations, the main powerhouses such as Huzhang, Chaoyan, Xueya and Faxia also rushed to Lei Xiao's side.
"It's okay, don't be nervous."
Waving his hand slightly to indicate to the subordinates that there was no need to worry, Lei Xiao first opened the attribute bar of one of the guardians of the sky.
"It seems that this is a profession that can fight in the air."
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao thought, and the giant stone statue in front of him flapped its wings, soared into the air, and hovered above the hall.
For a moment, the scene of the statue flying up was full of fantasy, and people couldn't help but marvel.
"He is indeed the guardian of the sky!"
Feeling the strong wind from the golem spreading its wings, Chaoyan, who had already put on a set of pink pajamas, couldn't help but exclaimed while pushing back her hair that had been blown away by the wind.
While bowing to Lei Xiao, he said: "Lord Qi, this kind of sky guardian, like the earth guardian, is a high-level golem puppet with extremely high magic defense.
However, the difficulty of summoning is much more difficult than that of the Earth Guardian."
Having said this, Chaoyan opened his eyes wide and made a roaring gesture like a dragon.
He continued: "Moreover, whether it is an air combat or a dive attack, the destructive power is even more amazing, and it can also undertake the early warning mission of high-altitude bird's-eye view reconnaissance. It can be said that it has extremely comprehensive functions!
The most important thing is that it is extremely scary for magicians who use flying skills and are fragile!"
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Then he thought to himself: "At this stage, except for the powerful magicians of the third level and above, we do not have any professional units that can fight in the air, conduct reconnaissance, and patrol.
And the Guardians of the Sky, whose strength is at the third level, is enough to compete with a squadron of ordinary first-level soldiers, which undoubtedly fills the gap in this area perfectly! And there are 8 of them at once!"
While overjoyed, Lei Xiao continued to think: "By the way, the prompt also mentioned that there seems to be an additional architectural special effect."
Without hesitation, directly open the building properties bar.
[Guardian Defense Agency Lv: 4]
[Owner: Lei Xiao "ID: 0013076067"]
[Number of Earth Guardians: 24/24]
[Number of Sky Guardians: 8/8]
[Building Special Effect 1: Guardian Charge Level 4 "Can charge the guardian of the earth (sky), moderately shortening the charging time"]
[Building special effect 2: Guardian creation lv4 "If the guardian of the earth (sky) is destroyed, a new guardian of the earth (sky) can be created (CD: 9h)"]
[Building special effect three: Guardian optimization lv4 "When the guardian of the earth (sky) acts, energy consumption is reduced by 18%"]
[Materials required for upgrade: stone x150000, iron ore x120000, obsidian x6000, black magic crystal x200]
"Is the third special effect to reduce energy consumption? Yes, yes! In this way, the battery life of these guardians can undoubtedly be further enhanced!"
In his excitement, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and the 24 Earth Guardians who had been in the space bracelet suddenly appeared.
The next second, a dark blue light flashed across all the Earth Guardians from bottom to top, apparently having received the energy optimization of the third new special effect.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and immediately re-deployed 24 Earth Guardians and 8 new Sky Guardians.
Among them, the Earth Guardians are still in groups of three.
There are one set for each of the two entrances and exits of the territory, one set for the lord's mansion, one set for the area where the miracle building is located, one set for charging and standby, and the remaining three sets total 9, and the space bracelets are reserved for backup.
The Sky Guardians come in groups of 2.
Except for the northern part of the territory with the dangerous mountains, there are one group in each of the areas of several kilometers in the other three directions, and one group is on standby for charging.
Of course, Lei Xiao would not let these sky guardians fly around in the sky all the time, but would mainly stay hidden in the towering trees to get a bird's eye view of the overall situation.
In addition, through observations during this period, Lei Xiao discovered.
Perhaps because there is no breath of life, these guardians only need to remain hidden.
Just like a real sculpture, it does not emit any energy fluctuations, making it the best candidate for ambush and reconnaissance.
After a while, all arrangements were completed.
Lei Xiao casually waved his hand and pocketed three groups of nine earth guardians. He couldn't help showing a look of joy and murmured in his heart: "It is indeed an extremely rare miracle building.
This guardian defense mechanism alone provides our side with the combat power of 32 third-order powerhouses, which is simply not perfect!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao seemed to have remembered something, took out the Evernight Magic Box again, and then walked quickly towards the Bright Healing Center on the other side.
There is no doubt that since this ancient box can cause the guardian's defense mechanism to react.
Then, maybe it can also change the light healing that is also a miracle building!
However, when Lei Xiao held up the box and walked around the brilliant, temple-like light healing center.
But no prompts were heard, and the faint blue light emitting from it had long since disappeared, just as it was at the beginning.
"Lord, what are you doing?"
Seeing this, Faxia, who had been following Lei Xiao, tilted his head with frizzy hair, and said with confusion on his pretty face.
"The thing is like this..."
Immediately, Lei Xiao described the detailed situation of the sudden reaction of the Evernight Magic Box in the Guardian Defense Agency to the subordinates around him.
"It turns out that the new guardians of the sky were created because of this square box. It's really amazing!"
Hearing this, Chao Yan had an expression of sudden realization, and then he couldn't help showing a look of confusion: "But, why exactly does this happen?
I remember that when I was in the Magic Tower, during the elective course on miraculous architecture, an old monster once told me about it.
But that day, because I woke up late in the morning and didn’t have a full meal, my attention was all on the food all morning and I didn’t pay attention to the lecture at all..."
"It is also a miracle building, but this ancient box only reacts to the guardian defense mechanism, but has no reaction to the light healing center?" On the other side, Faxia frowned and pondered for a moment.
Immediately, her crystal-clear starry eyes like gems lit up, and she suddenly showed a look of enlightenment. She bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "Lord, I know what's going on."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao turned his head slightly and motioned for Faxia to continue.
"Lord, this is because of the "magic lock mechanism" of the miracle building." On the other side, Faxia Lian moved and came to Lei Xiao.
"The "magic lock mechanism" of the miracle building?" Lei Xiao temporarily placed the ancient box on the wooden chair aside, and showed an increasingly curious expression.
"Back to Lord, that's exactly what it is."
On the other side, Faxia lowered his head and saluted Lei Xiao again: "As the lord can see, the reason why the miracle building is so rare and powerful is that it can be called a miracle.
Fundamentally speaking, it is because it condenses branches of a certain race, or simply is the crystallization of all the magical wisdom of a certain race.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call it the highest magical masterpiece of a certain race."
"I have learned something about this recently."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao gently sniffed the fragrance of shampoo coming from Faxia's hair, and said thoughtfully: "But what exactly is the magic lock mechanism?"
"The so-called magic lock mechanism is the original race that built the miracle buildings. It restricts other races from using their own miracle buildings in order to protect the interests of the original race."
Raising his head again, Faxia smoothed his frizzy short hair and continued: "In this way, even if other races obtain the blueprints of miraculous buildings, they can then build miraculous buildings.
It can only play most of the functions of miracle buildings, and cannot maximize the performance of miracle buildings.
Only by finding the corresponding "magic lock key" can all functions of the miracle building be unlocked and achieve the same effect as when used by the original race."
At this point, Faxia pondered for a moment and then continued to add: "However, Lord, please rest assured, because the miracle building, like the storage ring, has the unique function of identifying the owner.
Therefore, even if the lord directs these guardians to attack the original race that invented the guardian defense, there is nothing the other party can do."
"Understood." After hearing this, Lei Xiao suddenly showed a look of enlightenment and asked: "So, this [Eternal Night Magic Box] is the "magic lock key" that releases the restrictions of the guardian's defense mechanism?"
"Back to Lord, that's it."
Nodding his frizzy head slightly, Fasha immediately responded: "As far as my subordinates know, there are many types of "magic lock keys" for miracle buildings.
It may be the most precious sacred object of the original race, or it may be a special spell that can only be sung in the language of the original race, etc.
Moreover, my subordinates believe that the function of this [Eternal Night Magic Box] is not just a "magic lock key", but should belong to the ranks of the sacred objects of the original race.
And the "magic lock key" is just its additional function."
"Same feeling." Looking at the dark gray box in front of him that reflected a strange light, Lei Xiao checked the attribute column of [Eternal Night Magic Box] again.
It was found that its "race" and "role" are still in the unlocked state of "???".
"In this way, everything can indeed be explained."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao casually put the [Eternal Night Magic Box] into the space bracelet and continued: "Through the reaction just now, we can confirm it.
This box and the Guardian Defense Agency are from the same unknown race, and are most likely a sacred object of that race.
Although I still haven't figured out what role this [Eternal Night Magic Box], which is a sacred object of the clan, has in addition to being a "magic lock key".
However, knowing that it is connected to the Guardian Defense Agency is already a big gain for us."
"That's true." On the other hand, Chaoyan also nodded his head and added: "In addition, we have learned before that this light healing center comes from the light elves.
Therefore, if there is no reaction, it is naturally normal.
Basically, we can rule out the possibility that this square box comes from the light elves!"
"That's right." After hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and thought to himself: "If you think about it this way.
I am afraid that the "key" that opens the "magic lock" of the Light Healing Center is hidden next to Shen Banxia's territory, deep in the elven dungeon, and in the elven magic restrictions that we have not yet unlocked.
I wonder what kind of new architectural special effects are hidden in this light healing center? What exactly is sealed in the magic restrictions of the elves? I believe that in the near future, these mysteries will be revealed."
At this time, Lei Xiao regained his composure and continued to think while pacing slowly: "In short, the "Magic Lock" of the Guardian's defense mechanism was unlocked by using the Eternal Night Magic Box.
This has further strengthened our own combat power, which can be considered an unexpected surprise!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao turned around and said to the subordinates behind him: "Okay, everyone, please go back."
After saying that, Lei Xiao returned to the mansion with Huzhang, Chaoyan and others who were already living in the mansion.
Next, Lei Xiao came to the third floor of the mansion and first collected the 1,200 units of copper ingots produced today.
Then, 3 million units of thatch obtained in exchange for a large number of first-level weapons were put into storage wooden boxes.
At this point, after a new round of work by other lords, Lei Xiao's level 1 ordinary resources, which were somewhat depleted, have once again reached a mountainous level.
After completing all this.
Lei Xiao stretched out and went straight back to the bedroom at the end of the corridor. When he was at the door, he also placed two earth guardians to guard the door.
After all, before this, just standing guard for one night, the energy consumption of an Earth Guardian would not exceed 5%. What's more, it has now been optimized to further reduce energy consumption.
After a while, after washing up, Lei Xiao lay down directly on the spacious and soft bed.
Immediately afterwards, he first contacted Kelly who was far away in Fanyin City by reading a message.
I learned that after my group of ten people left, other nobles and wealthy businessmen also left one after another to come to the Phytolacca Trade Fair.
Moreover, due to the sudden appearance of strong men from the mysterious organization, most of the nobles and wealthy businessmen had strong doubts about the safety of Fanyin City, and they also left the city overnight.
Therefore, our own actions did not cause any waves.
As for Fanyin City Lord Orr and the other strong mercenaries, they suffered heavy losses, with many of them suffering serious injuries.
But the team of priests who had been prepared arrived in time and received proper treatment.
Kelly's father Gail and Kelly himself were naturally intact due to their own deliberate arrangements.
"In short, Lord, apart from some chaos and the need to deal with the aftermath, there are no other problems here. Lord, please rest assured."
Immediately, Kelly's clear voice came from the other end of the conversation.
"Very good, report to me anytime if you have anything, and go to bed early." At this point, after a few more instructions to the other party, Lei Xiao immediately stopped talking.
"Having said that, today's experience is really thrilling. I guess that man in black robe No. 7 is still in a state of confusion, right?"
Thinking of this, while putting the light crystal on the bedside table into the space to darken the room, Lei Xiao continued to think: "By the way, I still have the fourth-level magic weapon in my hand that is going to be used as a kitchen knife for Rudy.
In addition, give him a storage ring later. It will be very convenient to store vegetables, fruits and other ingredients..."
As he thought about it, Lei Xiao felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, as if they were filled with lead. After a while, steady breathing began to sound.
…
The next morning, it was still hazy outside the window.
Lei Xiao, who was already full of energy, stretched out, sat up from the bed, and couldn't wait to throw a Rose Energy Pill into his mouth.
Now, as a dual practitioner of magic and martial arts, it is naturally time for him to be promoted to a third-level magic powerhouse!
