At the main entrance of the fortress, after Lei Xiao finished speaking, before anyone could reply, the former saw a familiar figure in the team that came to greet him.
"Old Nick, why are you here? Aren't you recuperating at home?"
Looking at the slightly rickety figure, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a touch of surprise on his face.
You know, it was here that the other party was eroded by "eclipse", which caused him to go crazy for a long time and almost died on the streets of Fanyin City.
Moreover, after he regained consciousness, in order to reward him for the valuable news he brought, he specially canonized him as a Cold Flame Noble and allowed him to live in peace and contentment.
Although he later expressed his willingness to continue serving, according to his own idea, it was to give this old bard who had a bumpy fate a job, so his appearance here was indeed quite a surprise to him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for still thinking about me!"
Old Nick took a step forward, saluted Lei Xiao first, and responded quickly: "Only the villain has been to the ruins connected deep in the cave, so naturally the villain cannot be absent!"
Listening to Old Nick's words, Lei Xiao could clearly feel that although his tone was firm, there was an indescribable tremor.
It's no wonder, after all, the mental attack of "Eclipse" is difficult for even the fifth-level strong man to withstand, let alone the old Nick who was only at the second level at the time. For him, this is undoubtedly the biggest nightmare in his life.
Even so, he still chose to stand firmly here, which is extremely touching.
"I understand, then I'll trouble the old gentleman."
Lei Xiao nodded to Old Nick, and then asked: "But I only allow you to lead the way, and you will return immediately after completing all this. Do you understand?"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Old Nick nodded heavily and said with gratitude: "Thank you for taking care of your majesty, little man!"
"You deserve this. Your courage is enough to be admired by everyone present."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and had already passed the gate of the fortress.
After Lei Xiao said this, Carol, who was accompanying him, touched her chest and saluted, and began to answer the question that the former had just asked: "Your Majesty, this is what happened."
Through Carol's description, Lei Xiao learned.
It happened yesterday when the moonlight was the brightest.
At that time, in order to complete their deployment as soon as possible and completely seal the entire cave with a magic barrier, Carol, Calvin and others were making a series of preparations for laying the barrier.
After all, except for Ariel, a few other human monarchs, a few managers such as Orr, and the subordinates guarding the territory, almost all the powerful people above the fifth level of the human race were temporarily transferred to the front line against the lich, so
This caused the construction of the barrier to temporarily come to a halt.
The place where Carol and others work is near the entrance of the cave.
"Your Majesty, while the general and others were busy working near the entrance of the cave, Master Calvin's expression suddenly became strange."
When Carol finished speaking, she looked at the old magician beside her and motioned for the other person to continue speaking.
"Your Majesty, at that time, I suddenly felt an extremely weak strange energy fluctuation. It was so weak that I couldn't even identify the source of the energy fluctuation. I even thought it was a magic crystal that was about to be laid that reacted with the blocking barrier. After all,
The barrier is not yet complete, and many areas still need to be adjusted."
Calvin took over the conversation and continued: "However, the veteran quickly ruled out that the magic crystal was the source of the energy fluctuations, because the veteran accidentally discovered that the communication magic stone in his hand was faintly vibrating, which showed that the strange energy
The fluctuation seems to be a magical communication."
"After discovering this, the old minister became even more confused, because the old minister's communication magic stone is enough to cover the entire area around the cave, and any magical communication can be clearly received, and the entire area is deployed with an isolation barrier, so the magic from the outside world
It’s impossible for communications to come in.”
"In addition, the surrounding residents have been evacuated, and the location here is relatively remote, which further convinced the veteran of this point."
A look of certainty appeared on Calvin's old face, and he continued: "Then there is only one possibility left. This unknown and weak magical communication must have come from the cave."
"After coming to this conclusion, the veteran informed General Carol of the matter as soon as possible, and then immediately organized other magicians who are proficient in magic communications to prepare to receive the message at the entrance of the cave to see if the communication can be received again."
"As expected, the old minister and others soon received another extremely weak magical communication, and it is absolutely certain that it came from deep in the cave."
At this point, Calvin shook his head helplessly and said: "But unfortunately, everything disappeared again before the old minister and others understood the content."
After saying that, a trace of shame appeared on Old Calvin's face, and he added: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it's all my fault for my incompetence."
"You have done a great job. Discovering this sudden incident is already a great achievement."
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly and continued to listen.
"Your Majesty, although the general and others did not understand the content of the message, it came from the cave after all. The matter is not trivial, so the general reported the news to Mr. Al while leading the team with Master Calvin.
The elite soldiers entered the cave and explored it, but found nothing at all, and the teleportation barrier deep in the cave showed no sign of recovery."
Carol saluted Lei Xiao again and concluded: "This is the whole story."
"Human little...cough, Your Majesty, it is indeed possible to transmit magical communications through the teleportation circle."
Jasmine obviously changed her honorific to take care of Lei Xiao's face, nodded slightly and said: "Even if one end of the circle has stopped running, it does not mean that the other end is in the same situation, so theoretically speaking, the single
Aspect transmission is very possible."
"I think the same way."
Lei Xiao nodded and frowned slightly: "The key is where is the source of this magical communication? Is the other party doing it intentionally or unintentionally? If the other party is doing it intentionally, what exactly does it want to convey?
What information?"
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. The key point is that it is an ancient and unknown ruin in the middle of nowhere. How can there be a magical communication?"
When Old Nick said this, he suddenly opened his old eyes and blurted out: "Could it be, is it..."
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao just patted the other person on the shoulder and did not let him continue talking. Old Nick obviously wanted to say "eclipse", but this was obviously a huge challenge for him.
"Anyway, that's what we need to figure out next."
Lei Xiao took over the conversation and said to everyone: "Whether the other party is intentional or unintentional, hostile or not, nothing can stop us from moving forward."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone looked excited and nodded.
While talking, the group of people had already passed through the fortress and arrived in the valley.
Under Carol's guidance, it didn't take long for Lei Xiao to appear in front of the cave entrance.
The guards here are extremely tight, with heavily armed soldiers standing everywhere, and even a large camp was built around it, completely wrapping the entrance of the cave in the middle.
At the entrance of the cave, a large stone gate was specially erected, blocking the inside tightly.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao couldn't help but sigh.
Not to mention the second-line human soldiers under his command, even the external forces and even the giant dragons were helpless in the face of "Eclipse", and he informed everyone of the terrifying nature of "Eclipse".
Even so, none of the soldiers showed any signs of cowardice. Instead, they looked determined, even though they knew that if something unexpected happened, their existence might only be able to buy a little time.
While sighing, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on Old Nick not far away, facing the place where his nightmare had been. Although the latter was trembling slightly uncontrollably, his old face was also full of determination.
"With so many brave warriors standing behind me, why should I not move forward?"
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao signaled the accompanying strong men to get ready for battle, and nodded to Carol: "Okay, open the door."
"As you command, Your Majesty."
Check out the correct version one by one!
Carol caressed her chest and saluted, and opened the door together with the soldiers guarding the door, revealing the dark cave entrance into everyone's sight.
"There are many uncertainties in this trip. You guys will follow me in, and the other soldiers will stay here."
Lei Xiao nodded to Al, Carol, Calvin and Old Nick, and then he was the first to bear the brunt, leading Jasmine and all the powerful men under his command towards the cave.
After entering the cave, Lei Xiao noticed further.
This place looks no different from an ordinary cave. Occasionally, you can see the footprints and spider webs left by monsters. However, the entire cave exudes an inexplicable chill, and the temperature is much lower than the outside world.
The sound of the group's advancing footsteps echoed in the cave, and it didn't take long for them to reach the deepest part of the cave.
It is quite open here, and the originally dark space is brightly lit by the dazzling magic light ball. It does not seem to be dangerous, but there is a faint smell of putridity, which is obviously left by the previous monsters.
"Your Majesty, this is the location of the teleportation circle, which was also the storage warehouse of those magical beasts at that time!"
Old Nick stood next to a cave entrance and said to Lei Xiao with a trembling voice.
"Let me take a look."
Lei Xiao waved his hand to signal the other person to stand behind him, and was the first to walk into the storage room.
Looking around, there is still nothing special here, except that there are some deep magic lines clearly engraved on the ground at the end of the room, and the surrounding area is extremely clean, obviously it has been carefully cleaned.
"Sure enough, it is a teleportation circle that has been in disrepair!"
I saw Jasmine's petite body flashing and appearing at the end of the storage room, and she began to bend down to observe.
Seeing this scene, Carol, Calvin and others couldn't help but look at each other. Because Jasmine put on her hood again and her voice became hoarse again, everyone obviously didn't know her true identity, but
Judging from this incredibly fast move, he seems to be a strong person in space.
I have to say that His Majesty’s subordinates are truly Crouching Tigers, Hidden Dragons.
But then again, this magic circle is a mystery left over from ancient times. It is mysterious and elusive. Even staring at it for a while will make you dizzy. Can it really be reactivated?
You know, in order to clean up the dust around the magic circle for research and observation, more than a dozen elite magicians fainted.
Just when everyone thought of this, Jasmine raised her head and said to Lei Xiao: "Your Majesty, Human Race, I guessed it right. Although this side of the teleportation circle is completely disabled, the other side is still normal. This means
Although it is no longer possible to transmit, energy fluctuations such as magical communication can still be transmitted!"
"Very good, can this side be reactivated?"
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and asked.
"It's a trivial matter. Even if it's a magic circle left over from ancient times, it's just a masterpiece of those children. It's very easy to decipher."
The pink hooded man glanced at the accompanying dwarf experts such as Broy and Cornette, and spoke with a confident tone.
"Ah? So, here are the ancient ruins left by our ancestors?"
Broy raised his head, with an unexpected look on his face.
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully. Speaking of which, the Eternal Night Magic Box belonging to the dwarves was also found in a dwarf ruins near Fanyin City.
From this point of view, it is not surprising that these are also ancient ruins of dwarves.
Lei Xiao just thought of this in his mind when he saw Jasmine scratching the ground a few times at random, followed by a strong wave of energy, and a shining gray portal appeared in front of everyone.
.
For a moment, the gray light that was like water but not water rippled in the portal, reflecting the entire cave with sparkling light, making everyone marvel at it.
Especially Carol and others, their eyes widened involuntarily. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the ancient teleportation circle, which was originally a huge puzzle, was successfully cracked!
Next to Carol and others, even the accompanying Gray Old Man looked the same.
Back then, the mercenary guild could be said to be full of capable people, but it was still unable to do anything, or even have a clue at all. However, this pink hooded man was indeed extremely powerful and extremely knowledgeable.
In addition to being surprised in their hearts, everyone's eyes fell on Lei Xiao together, and they all looked excited.
Even though he is such an unfathomable strong man, he is still opening up a path for His Majesty. Your Majesty is indeed extraordinary!
"Hey, I'm awesome, right?"
Feeling the gazes on her from everyone, Jasmine put her hands on her hips and sounded like she was in trouble.
"Awesome, that's pretty awesome, I hope it can keep up."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, then turned his palm up, and Rolandel appeared, and said to everyone: "Okay, it's time to figure everything out."
After that, Lei Xiao walked into the portal surrounded by everyone.
