The cold night filled the air, the crisp chirping of insects was looming, and the bright white moonlight shone on the earth, reflecting a heavily guarded and powerful ancient castle, which was the Lion's Castle at the core of the Lengyan Palace.
In the luxuriously decorated queen's bedroom in the Lion's Castle, Lei Xiao was seen sitting cross-legged in the hall, his forehead covered with sweat, and he was practicing intensively.
After a while, as a cold energy wave surged out of Lei Xiao's body, he slowly opened his eyes.
"This fifth-level star-raising potion that permanently increases strength is indeed extraordinary. Although I have been refining it for so many days since I obtained it from the Mercenary Guild, I still cannot easily adapt to this manic energy, and every time I refine it,
The transformation time is also several times that of the fourth level."
Lei Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and opened his attribute bar.
[Name: Lei Xiao]
【ID:0013076067】
[Occupation: Lord]
[Level: "Physics: Level 5, Five Stars" "Magic: Level 5, Five Stars"]
"Level 5", "Magic Level 5" to lead to lightning, "Physical Level 3" to panic, "Physical Level 3" to slash the sky, "Physical Level 5" to break through the shadows, "Physical Level 5" to break through the sky, "Magic Martial Arts" to run through the air.
", Blessing of the Southern Cross "Accessory Level 5", God's Family Emblem "Accessories Level 6", Moon Reflected in the Mirror "Accessories Level 6"]
"Have you reached the level of double fifth-level five-stars that can be called a fifth-level senior expert? This feeling of soaring upward is really pleasant."
Lei Xiao closed the attribute bar and nodded with satisfaction.
Three days have passed since Ariel and others advanced in seclusion. Although there has been no news of successful advancement, everything is proceeding smoothly.
In the past few days, in addition to refining potions on time every day, I also partially updated the equipment.
"The first is the Thunder Dragon Armor. This piece of equipment does not come from the upgraded Mercenary Guild and Alchemist Guild, but was discovered by Saint Queen Sophia in a brotherhood secret room in the Temple of Light."
"Because it is not only a leather armor that suits my movement habits, but also can increase the effect of lightning skills, I directly upgraded it to the sixth level and replaced the previous Pretender's Protection."
With this in mind, Lei Xiao opened the attribute bar of the new armor.
[Note: Special magic leather armor made by half-elf magic craftsman Lily. This half-elf who was hunted by the elves has been hiding in Tibet for hundreds of years. Finally, he was lucky enough to advance to the sixth level, and accidentally discovered a thunder dragon that had fallen recently.
, and this leather armor was born.】
Looking at the text introduction on the attribute column, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, his weapons and armor will undoubtedly reach the level of a full set of sixth-level equipment!
"Speaking of which, this is not the first time I've seen the half-elf Lily in the note. She looks quite interesting."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, but without taking it too seriously, he opened the attribute bar of a simple ring inlaid with purple gemstones on his finger.
[Name: Eyes of Thunder Fantasy]
[Level: Level 6 Legend (Gold)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional Effect 1: Pointing to the Space God "can store and take out any objects without life breath at will, the space capacity is 5000 cubic meters"]
[Additional effect two: Thunderstorm Holy "When using thunder attribute magic, the spell effect is greatly improved"]
[Additional effect three: The Holy Eye of Wisdom "Within a range of 100 meters, it improves the wearer's perception of invisibility and stealth, increases the wearer's resistance to illusions, and increases the chance of seeing through illusions"]
[Remarks: This is a space ring inlaid with high-purity thunder phantom gems. It comes from the mysterious Dragonborn clan. It not only has the function of a storage ring, but also can increase the wearer's thunder spell damage.
It can increase the wearer's perception and illusion resistance, which can be said to be an extremely rare existence.】
"This new ring takes into account and enhances the functions of the three blessed rings: Golden Eye, Dawn Eye, and Thunderstorm Eye. It can just replace them all."
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao turned his palm over again and looked at the shiny new ring with satisfaction.
As for the storage function, it is just the icing on the cake for me. With the blessing of the space bracelet, these 5,000 cubic meters are not so important.
"This new ring is also upgraded from the fifth-level ring in the Brotherhood's secret room. It can be regarded as an unexpected gain."
"By the way, as for the Dragonborn clan mentioned in the notes, it is said to be an extremely mysterious hidden race. This is also the first time I have seen records about this clan in the notes."
Lei Xiao looked at the strange and profound words engraved on the surface of the ring with interest, nodded slightly and said: "As I move forward, I will surely be able to see this mysterious race one day."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, a rather strong special energy wave suddenly surged from outside the door, causing the tea set on the table to tremble again and again.
"Coming from the direction of the royal training room, so Ariel has been successfully promoted?"
Regarding this special energy fluctuation, Lei Xiao, who had just been promoted not long ago, was no stranger to it, and his eyes lit up.
Sure enough, before Lei Xiao could come out to check, the door had been gently pushed open, and what caught Lei Xiao's eyes was Ariel, who was exuding a majestic aura.
Her fair face was dripping with sweat, so much so that strands of hair stuck to her forehead and temples, but she showed an indescribable joy.
"I would like to report to my lord, my subordinates have lived up to your lord's expectations and have successfully entered the threshold of a fifth-level powerhouse."
The upper part of Ariel's robe, which was wet with sweat, was undulating slightly. She wanted to step forward but was afraid that the sweat would soak into Lei Xiao's body.
"As expected of my Queen."
Lei Xiao strode forward, took the other person into his arms, and said with a smile: "Among the ten subordinates who are advancing to the fifth level, you are the first to complete the promotion."
"Maybe it's because the subordinate is the one closest to the lord."
Ariel was like a docile kitten, letting Lei Xiao comb the messy hair under her crown, and still said with excitement: "As long as I think of Lord Lord, even if the energy circuit in my body is turned upside down again, my subordinates
I also feel that I will definitely be able to persevere!”
After hearing Ariel's words, Lei Xiao didn't say anything else. He just smiled and opened the other party's attribute bar.
[Name: Ariel]
[Occupation: Magician of Light]
[Level: Level 5, One Star]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill 1: Streaming Arrow Destroys the Army "Active" (Light attribute spell single target attack, additional piercing effect, outstanding effect on dark attribute targets)]
[Skill 2: Aurora's Brilliance Broken Star "Active" (light attribute spell group attack, additional blinding effect, outstanding effect on dark attribute targets)]
[Skill 3: Dome of Light Penetrating Sun "Active" (light attribute spell wide area attack, additional blinding effect, outstanding effect on dark attribute targets)]
[Skill 4: Brilliant Stigmata Aurora "Active" (light attribute detection magic, able to discover hidden treasures, magic mechanisms and magic chambers)]
[Skill Five: Light Summoning Valkyrie "Active" (Summons high-level golem puppet Valkyrie, the number and duration are related to one's own magic power, and the strength is level five)]
[Skill Six: Light Attribute Magic Mastery "Passive" (When using light attribute magic, the damage will be moderately increased)]
"That's right. Not only have all the original skills been enhanced, but you can also summon fifth-level golem puppets? This is an important combat power that cannot be ignored."
Lei Xiao looked at the text introduction on the attribute column and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"As expected of the lord, I saw it right away. This skill is a royal secret handed down from the ancestors of Saint Queen Sophia. Only members of the Lengyan royal family who are good at light attributes can use it."
Ariel smiled and explained: "Before, although my subordinates had mastered the use of skills, they were unable to use them due to lack of strength. Now they can finally use them freely."
Before Lei Xiao could respond, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Ariel's fair face, and she added coyly: "By the way, Lord Lord, this time it's time for you to see your subordinate's new strength.
"
…
The next morning, the first thing Lei Xiao did when he woke up was to check the subordinate list.
It was discovered that Chaoyan was actually the second one to successfully advance to the fifth level, while other subordinates were still in the process of advancement.
"I didn't expect that this girl would be followed closely. I thought one of Ye Cang and Gals should be in second place."
Lei Xiao closed the slave interface and smiled slightly.
In any case, now that Ariel, the Queen of Cold Flame, has been promoted, it is time to hold that crucial meeting as planned.
"As for the location of the meeting, let it be in Glow City, where the main hall of the Temple of Light is located. On the one hand, it can remind the kings not to relax their vigilance. On the other hand, it can also invite an important guest. Naturally,
Pelican Princess Mayfair.”
"As one of the former guardians of the human world, and as the person who helped me defeat the chosen son of the evil god, this lost princess from the Silver Moon Era naturally has the qualification to participate."
Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao immediately started making arrangements.
Since six of the seven monarchs were direct subordinates, and one of them was still around, Lei Xiao quickly conveyed the notice.
As for Catherine, as well as the other two neutral organizations, the Mercenary Guild and the Alchemist Guild, Lei Xiao had already arranged for communication magicians to be stationed there, and still received the news immediately.
As for the date of the meeting, Lei Xiao, who knew he was pressed for time, directly set it for today's afternoon.
With Ice Stone City and Crystal Blue City being almost restored and now able to travel around the human world, for leaders from all over the world, going to Glow City to attend a meeting is as easy as taking a walk in the courtyard.
"Prince of the human race, wait a moment! There is one more thing!"
Lei Xiao was just about to end the conversation with Catherine when he heard Louise's clear voice coming out of her words.
This girl returned to the vampire clan some time ago, so she hasn't been around Lei Xiao in the past few days.
"Miss Louise, the chefs are on standby at any time. You can come back anytime you want, no need to be polite."
Hearing the other party's voice, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.
"That's great, this young lady has returned home a long time ago!"
Louise's excited voice immediately sounded, and then she remembered something again, and quickly added: "No! Prince of the human race, you have to come to this lady first. Catherine and I have something important to tell you!"
"Oh? I thought it was just Miss Louise who was greedy and asked me to prepare delicious food."
There was a hint of surprise on Lei Xiao's face, and he suddenly understood and responded: "I understand, then I'll be ready to come over now."
After saying that, Lei Xiao stopped talking.
"Lord, what exactly do Miss Louise and Queen Catherine bring to you?"
I saw Ariel, who had just returned from washing, wiping her face with a towel, and a hint of curiosity appeared on her delicate face.
"If my prediction is correct, they should want to take the relationship to a further level with me."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"More, further?!"
Ariel suddenly became a little incoherent, apparently thinking of something, so much so that the towel almost fell to the floor.
"It's not what you think."
Lei Xiao knew Ariel's thoughts very well, and said with a smile: "Follow me, and you will understand by then."
"That's great. I've never been to the Iron Hand Islands before."
Ariel nodded excitedly and immediately started dressing up.
As the brilliance of the two suns became more and more brilliant, it didn't take long for Lei Xiao, Ariel and several other subordinates to walk out of the gate of Ice Stone City.
And what stands in front of everyone is the Iron Blood City, the most majestic city located in the center of Palm Island.
"Your Highness, you are here!"
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, Catherine and Louise, who had already set up a grand welcoming team at the city gate, immediately came over to greet him.
When they got closer, Catherine also greeted Ariel and other subordinates in turn, and then invited the group into the city.
"The last time I came here, the Cold Flame Kingdom was still in a crisis situation besieged on all sides. It really made people feel like they were in another world."
After passing through the busy streets and entering the gate of the Vampire Palace, which was still shrouded in dense clouds, Lei Xiao couldn't help feeling a little emotional for a moment.
Not long after walking in the palace, Lei Xiao and his party, under the guidance of Catherine, arrived at an extremely spacious palace square.
I saw that the place was already densely packed with people, and it looked completely dark.
