"I understand. Your Excellency brought me news about Allen, and even allowed me to see my son's last moments. You are also willing to talk to this miserable old man of mine. It is my duty to do so."
The old king nodded without hesitation and responded.
"Then please trouble Your Majesty."
Lei Xiao still maintained enough respect and reminded: "By the way, there are many of my companions and soldiers in the areas near here and in other areas. They are all my own. Please don't embarrass them."
."
"Don't worry, since they are your people, I will not let them fall into danger."
The old king nodded slightly and said: "Then please wait a moment, I will re-establish the connection with the entire underground city. After all, I was responsible for the design and installation of all the magic circles and magic mechanisms here.
"
After that, the old king closed his eyes and concentrated, and began to meditate.
After only a moment, a look of doubt suddenly appeared on the old king's face, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Strange, according to my mental detection, although the absolute defense barrier is still normal, 70% of the area of the dungeon has completely disappeared. How come even the Black Wolf Castle is upside down on the cave wall? This is simply
It’s incredible.”
"Are there only the fourth square area, the fifth commercial area, the seventh planting area, the eleventh residential area, and the first courtyard area where I am left in the entire underground city?"
After hearing the old king's words, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
This undoubtedly means that the true scale of the entire underground city is much wider than imagined.
Lei Xiao, on the other hand, gently rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully.
It seems that the "misplaced things" are not limited to this castle and supporting facilities, but a large part of it has been lost.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao briefly described the "displaced object", a mystery left over from the blank era, to the old king.
"There is such a weird phenomenon. Who was the opponent we faced back then?"
The old king was surprised, but he immediately calmed down and continued the detection.
Not long after, the old king reopened his wrinkled eyes, nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "It turns out that the other party destroyed all the transfer circles connecting these remaining areas to the ground, and then trapped you.
Are you here?"
Hearing the sound, everyone tightened their eyebrows.
Just like what Lei Xiao said, it seems that the other party really planned to trap us here forever from the beginning and completely remove this stumbling block for us.
"Your Majesty, is there any way you can restore these transfer circles?"
Lei Xiao also frowned and asked quickly.
"Don't worry, Your Excellency, they only damaged the surface of the transfer circle, but the core was not involved. I can repair it soon."
The old king nodded slightly and responded: "Your Excellency, please wait a moment."
After saying that, an ancient energy wave was set off around the old king, and a deep white and gray magic circle instantly unfolded under his feet.
"It's the energy wave that transfers the magic circle!"
Jiang Li's starry eyes lit up and she couldn't help but blurt out.
You know, this is an ancient spell that has been lost for a long time. Although it is not as far away as teleportation, it can transfer large forces in an instant. It will definitely play a great role in certain battlefields with special terrain.
.
"When everything comes to an end, we can come back and ask the old king for advice. For now, let's focus on the present."
Lei Xiao saw Jiang Li's excitement and nodded slightly to the latter.
Not long after, the energy waves surging around the old king dissipated. He nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "Your Excellency, I have restarted the transfer circle in the first courtyard area, which is enough to allow you and others to return to the ground."
"As for your soldiers, I will teleport them all to the ground later."
After hearing the old king's words, the group of people suddenly became excited and cheered.
This undoubtedly means that under the leadership of Lei Xiao, the dawn of victory has once again appeared in front of us. Although the future is uncertain, there is at least a glimmer of hope!
"Thank you for your great help. When I get through this difficult time, I will definitely come back to thank you."
Lei Xiao was excited and nodded to the old king in front of him.
"You're welcome, your Excellency. These are nothing compared to what you brought to me."
The old king smiled slightly, and soon a look of solemnity appeared on his face, and he said seriously: "Before I send you off, I have one more thing to remind you."
"Just now, I discovered the hidden Sixth Animal Husbandry District, which was transformed into a disgusting monster breeding base. Although all the monsters have been transported away not long ago, there are still some remaining ones.
The butt smells extremely violent and bloody.”
The old king frowned tightly and continued: "It is not difficult to see from this that your opponent is by no means a good person. Please be careful when dealing with him."
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty. I am ready to fight with all my strength."
Lei Xiao nodded heavily, his voice unwavering.
The monster breeding base that the old king mentioned must be the place where devouring slimes and red-blooded sandworms are produced.
The former of these two kinds of monsters almost destroyed the entire Blue Cold Castle, and the latter caused us great trouble during the Battle of Stargazing City. No one knows what other terrible things the other side has developed.
But no matter what we need to face, we have no way out.
"I saw in your eyes a determination as strong as the meteorite steel of the gods. It seems that you have really made up your mind. This is the indispensable first step towards victory."
There was a hint of appreciation in the old king's eyes, but then he shook his head helplessly and said: "It's a pity that I can't leave this underground city, and the underground treasure house and storage area of this castle have become "dislocations".
"I can't help you in other ways."
"Your Majesty, you are so polite. This has already helped us a lot."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and while signaling everyone to come to the transfer circle, he said: "Then we will leave it to ourselves."
After that, Lei Xiao gave White a few more instructions, asking him to arrange for other Grimm generals to protect the safety of the lords and at the same time cooperate with the old king in the next step of the transfer.
After hearing Lei Xiao's instructions, the veteran Grimm naturally did not dare to be negligent and immediately started making arrangements.
When Lei Xiao and others were ready to move, the old king seemed to remember something, his old eyes lit up and said: "By the way, I still have one last item on me, so I will give this to you."
Bar."
Having said that, the old king turned his wrinkled palm up, and a simple silver shield-shaped badge appeared in front of Lei Xiao's eyes.
This shield-shaped badge was engraved with dense ancient runes and exuded a mysterious aura. Lei Xiao always felt that he had seen this special rune somewhere before.
The moment the coat of arms appeared, Lei Xiao was surprised to find out.
Rolandel in his hand actually trembled faintly, as if there was some kind of resonance.
Looking at the long sword in his hand and then at the shield-shaped badge, Lei Xiao made further discoveries.
It turns out that Rolandel's sword is also engraved with the same row of runes, no wonder it always feels like déjà vu.
"This is the Guard of Orlandine."
The old king handed over the badge and said with a smile: "You must have noticed that this is one of the sacred weapons that is matched with Rolandel. Only when the two appear together can they exert more powerful power."
"That's it. Thank you very much for your Majesty's gift."
After receiving the badge from the old king, Lei Xiao casually opened the attribute bar of the badge.
[Additional Effect 2: Paladin Synchronization "Within a certain distance, the levels of the other two holy weapons "Rolandel" and "Odost" will be improved until they are the same as this badge."]
[Note: During the Solar Era, one of the Three Holy Artifacts of a lost empire was also known as the Paladin Badge. After the death of the original owner, the whereabouts of this badge were unknown.
In the Silver Moon Era, the first Silver Fire King, the founder of the Silver Fire Kingdom, found it again, and finally collected the Three Sacred Artifacts, becoming the royal symbol of the Silver Fire Kingdom.
Until the destruction of the Silver Fire Kingdom, this badge was worn by Oliver, the last Silver Fire King.]
"The first additional effect is exactly the same as the Star Protection, and the second additional effect is to make Rolandel and another holy weapon have the same level as it? But Rolandel is also fifth level to begin with."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao suddenly became enlightened.
There is only one possibility that can explain the current situation, and that is that after a long period of time, this badge is no longer in its peak condition.
Lei Xiao just touched it with his finger and started the upgrade directly.
Sure enough, the prompt sound soon rang in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, your "Fifth Level Accessory: Mottled Orlandine's Protection" has been upgraded to "Sixth Level Accessory: Orlandine's Protection"! 】
Listening to the familiar prompt, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and reopened the attribute bar of the badge.
[Additional Effect 2: Paladin Synchronization "Within a certain distance, the levels of the other two holy weapons "Rolandel" (already in effect) and "Odost" will be improved until they are the same as this badge"]
[Note: Same as above, omitted]
"Can the first additional effect actually resist a sixth-level damage? And the charging time is reduced by half."
A flash of joy flashed in Lei Xiao's eyes, and he nodded with satisfaction. He obviously had another more powerful life-saving trump card!
As for the second additional effect, the words "Effective" are also added behind Rolandel.
This undoubtedly means that Rolandel has reached the sixth level!
Overjoyed, Lei Xiao opened the attribute bar of the long sword.
[Name: Rolandel]
[Level: Level 6 Legend (Gold)]
[Attack strength: six stars]
[Additional Effect 1: The Immortal Blade "Never wears out, this sword cannot be damaged under any conditions"]
[Additional Effect 2: God's Blade "Increases damage to dark attribute enemies by 200%"]
[Additional effect three: Elemental Blade "All attribute attack damage increased by 50%"]
[Note: Under the synchronization of "Olandin's Protection", this sword has reached the sixth level, which is also its true peak state. 】
"Good guy, not only has the attack strength been increased, but also the damage of all attributes has been increased? It seems that when necessary, I can hold a sword in one hand and a staff in the other to cast spells."
Lei Xiao closed the attribute bar and looked at the sword, which was obviously shining a lot. The joy on his face was beyond words.
The old king opposite had a look of surprise on his face.
He originally wanted to explain that the badge was somewhat worn, but he saw a dazzling flash of light and the badge had returned to its peak condition!
As for White and other generals, they were stunned and looked confused.
After being stung by the sudden flash of light, their eyes hurt, and they just felt two powerful energy fluctuations surging out from the badge and the long sword in Lei Xiao's hand.
Then, these two seemingly priceless pieces of equipment reached a new level that they had never seen before!
"Your Excellency is truly extraordinary."
After being stunned for a moment, the old king came back to his senses, nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "This way, I feel much more at ease."
"Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. It's just a small trick."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly and responded: "Then please, Your Majesty, please move us to the ground."
"Understood, as long as you show the protection of Orlandine in the city on the ground, I will teleport you to me. As for the last sacred weapon, Odoste, it is in my daughter
Pelican Princess Mayfair, if you have a chance to find her whereabouts, maybe you can collect them all."
The old king's old eyes were full of joy, and he nodded heavily to Lei Xiao and said: "Although the opponents you face must be extremely difficult to deal with, I still look forward to your victory and to meet you again!"
After that, the old king waved his red sleeves and the group of people instantly disappeared into the dark and simple castle.
With a sense of lightness passing by, when Lei Xiao's vision became clear again, he had reappeared at the gate of Huangyao City.
At this time, the night has arrived, the sky is filled with stars, and the sky has completely darkened.
But Lei Xiao and his party are not sure whether there will be dawn tomorrow.
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, they had been waiting eagerly for it. Our generals who were left behind were excited and immediately surrounded him.
Lei Xiao, on the other hand, briefly and concisely described a series of situations he had just encountered in the ancient dungeon.
"Lord, what should we do next?"
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Giant Ax General Burt was amazed and couldn't help but ask immediately. ()
