Hearing this, Ariel, Ju Bai and Bert were all stunned for a moment. After a while, they all reacted one after another.
At this time, Ariel's fair face changed slightly, and her red lips slightly opened several times, as if she wanted to defend something.
However, after taking a look at Lei Xiao with a calm expression not far away, and the Japanese knotweed standing respectfully next to him, he finally sighed softly and shook his head helplessly.
At this stage, "that thing" is close at hand, and the location has been exposed.
Coupled with this annoying guy, he has obviously discovered some clues.
So, if you continue to pretend not to know, it is obviously meaningless.
The most important thing is that there is not only a fifth-level powerhouse beside this guy.
There are two fourth-level experts, as well as other third-level experts, who have an absolute advantage in terms of strength...
Thinking of this, Ariel's mind couldn't help but replay the scene where the giant metal holy lion was instantly killed by the knotweed sword just now.
Although the Lengyan royal family behind her also has two powerful fifth-level men who are loyal to her.
Unfortunately, in this extremely special period.
Not to mention ordering the other party, as long as the other party remembers that she is the Cold Flame Royal Family and does not come to kill her personally, Ariel is already satisfied.
Realizing this, Ariel, who looked a little gloomy, first looked at each other with the other two kingdom generals, and there was a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
She had no choice but to take a step forward and said to Lei Xiao: "That's all, it doesn't hurt to tell you.
As you know, this princess is indeed looking for "that thing"."
Speaking of this, Ariel's fair face first showed a hint of uncontrollable pride, and then she said slowly and solemnly: "If this princess is not wrong.
The truth of "that incident" is that this place is the resting place of the hero King Caesar, the founder of my Cold Flame Kingdom!"
"Oh?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and couldn't help but look surprised.
The name Hero King Xi Sa is naturally familiar to Lei Xiao.
More than six hundred years ago, it was this guy who led the famous Earth Dragon Knights on the battlefield and single-handedly established Leng Yan, a glorious human dynasty that lasted for hundreds of years.
"It turns out that the truth about 'that incident' was actually this guy's burial place."
At this time, the look of surprise on Lei Xiao's face became more obvious.
Before this, he had also speculated that this might be a treasure trove of the Lengyan royal family, or other similar places.
However, I never expected that the owner of this place would be the first king of the Cold Flame Kingdom!
"Speaking of which, I asked Lin before why this place is called Luolong City. Judging from the name, it seems like a giant dragon fell here.
However, the answer was no.
This fortress city located at the foot of the Hyakubu Mountains has never even seen a trace of the dragon, let alone fallen."
At this time, Lei Xiao frowned slightly and continued to think secretly in his heart: "Could it be that... the reason why this place is called Luolong City is because this is really the resting place of the hero king Xi Sa?
However, this statement is undoubtedly only understandable by those of us, the people of Blue Star Great Xia who have a glorious and splendid civilization.
People in this world are naturally unheard of, and I have already understood this.
Maybe this is just a coincidence."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao regained his composure, and then said to Ariel: "By the way, since this is the burial place of your ancestors.
So, how come you, a member of the royal family who is Leng Yan’s fifth princess, don’t know the specific location?”
"You don't know something."
On the other side, perhaps to pay tribute to her ancestors, Ariel at this time has lifted her illusion disguise and returned to her original delicate face.
On one side, she could see the slightly curly black hair that she had tied into a ponytail spread out again, hanging down from her shoulders to her straight chest.
While continuing to say with a pious face: "This has always been one of the secrets of my Lengyan royal family. Even my father does not know the specific location of the resting place of the Hero King Caesar.
It wasn't until I came here that I understood that perhaps, this great ancestor of mine wanted to silently protect this corner of our Cold Flame Kingdom even after his death."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly in disbelief, waving his hands to signal the other subordinates around him to start cleaning the battlefield.
On the other hand, he frowned and asked: "Then how did you know the approximate location of this place?"
"Actually, this incident can be considered an accident."
Directly opposite, Ariel moved lightly, her hands behind her back, and she walked slowly.
The clear starry eyes on one side were blurred, obviously lost in memories: "One year ago, when my father was still in good health and all this had not happened.
Once, I left the castle in disguise and came to the bustling district of the royal capital. I accidentally met a fortune teller wearing a gray hood and whose face could not be seen clearly, setting up a stall in the street.
It is this person who told you in a hoarse voice.
At a time when the blood and fire in the royal capital are intertwining crazily, I will find the resting place of my ancestors west of the river in the Shadow Forest, where there are mountains, water, forests and towns."
"Oh? It's so magical?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but raised his eyebrows slightly.
Before this, he had already come into contact with prophecies three times.
For the first time, the old half-elf Kawagu once mentioned that there was an ancient elf book that predicted that they, the alien lords, would come to this world collectively and bring about complete changes.
The second and third times were both about the catastrophe. They were Chaoyan's school girl, Zhusha from the Magic Tower, and the predictions relayed by the elders of the Magic Tower who were good at divination.
And Shen Banxia, who is also the lord, relayed the prophecy of his second-level subordinate Xina.
And what Ariel said is undoubtedly the most specific of these prophecies.
On the other side, Ariel lowered her eyebrows and continued to describe: "At first, I naturally didn't take this matter to heart. After all, at that time, the entire Cold Flame Kingdom was full of prosperity and prosperity.
Let alone the royal capital, even in any town in Leng Yan, I don’t believe that this so-called crazy intertwining of blood and fire will happen.”
At this point, Ariel sighed softly, her eyebrows furrowed, her delicate face full of melancholy, and she said in a regretful tone: "Until my father was seriously ill, the chaos in the capital completely broke out.
hour.
Only then did I finally realize how arrogant and ignorant I was at that time."
Directly across from him, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and continued to listen.
"Because the matter is of great importance, after I informed Mr. Bert and Mr. Jubai about the ins and outs of the matter, I made a decision together with them in order to cover up the situation and prevent accidents from happening.
Replace this with "that thing." Then, Ariel took a deep breath, tried her best to adjust her low mood, and added again.
"I see."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, took the trophies handed over by his subordinates, and collected all the space bracelets, preparing to take inventory after this matter was over.
While continuing: "So, the reason why you came here is to find a way to solve the turmoil in the royal capital?"
"That's right." On the other side, although Ariel answered simply, there was a clear hint of unconfidence in her tone.
Judging from the situation just now, the holy lion puppets guarding this place are all in a state of complete rage.
Even though the blood of the royal family flows in her body, I am afraid she will not hold back at all.
It can be imagined that if four more holy lions appeared together, it would undoubtedly be very difficult for her and the three of them to fight against them.
After all, most of the trump cards she hides are defensive. In terms of attack, they are much different.
Therefore, Ariel told Lei Xiao exactly what happened.
Another important reason is naturally to rely on Lei Xiao's huge energy to see if the depths here are as described in the prophecy.
It is truly the resting place of her ancestor, the heroic king Caesar.
"I completely understand." On the other side, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
If everything is as Ariel said.
Then, there must be a lot of benefits hidden in it, which we naturally cannot miss.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and continued to say to Ariel: "Okay, although the goblin siege will continue for a while until something goes wrong with them.
However, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Luolong City garrison discovered in advance that there was an attack here.
By then, the situation will be very troublesome.
So, without further ado, let’s confirm whether the depths of this square are really connected to your ancestors as predicted.”
"That's what I meant." On the other side, Ariel also regained her energy and looked into the depths of the square.
At this time, even though his surroundings were brightly illuminated by the light spar and the ball of light on Ariel's staff.
But deep in the square, it was still pitch black, with no end in sight.
Even with the help of Star Eyes, everything Lei Xiao could see was hazy.
All in all, in the huge square, except for the area where everyone is located, there is some light.
The rest of the place was in chaos, and the quiet environment gave people a sense of mystery, as if anything could happen.
"Okay, everyone, cheer up and let's move on."
Next, under the command of Lei Xiao, the three powerful men on our side and Ariel gathered their energy and began to walk deeper into the square.
At this moment, the group of ten people, as well as the two sisters Nan Xing and Nan Yue who were hiding in the dark, were speechless.
Under the silence, only the sound of footsteps kept ringing, still echoing back and forth in the empty square.
In this way, after walking for about ten minutes, the group finally arrived at the end of the square.
After looking around, Lei Xiao noticed.
At this time, what appeared in front of him was not the giant castle he had imagined, or similar underground ruins.
Instead, there was nothing but a rough and cracked stone wall.
While confused, I saw Bert, the giant ax general, walking forward and tapping gently.
He listened attentively, and then reported to Ariel: "Your Highness, the back of this wall is solid, and there is nothing else except mud."
"What on earth is going on?" After hearing this, Ariel, who was originally full of expectancy, suddenly frowned and showed a puzzled expression, and then looked at the Holy Light General Ju Bai beside her in confusion.
The other party frowned and pondered for a moment, but then shook his head helplessly.
It is worth mentioning that not long ago, after Lei Xiao signaled the tiger stick and rescued this orange white once.
When this young female general of the kingdom, who was around thirty years old, looked at Lei Xiao, she seemed to have lost a hint of hostility and vigilance.
"Lord, there is indeed nothing here." On the other side, Ye Cang, wearing a black priest's robe, stepped forward and saluted gracefully.
"Lord, are we looking in the wrong place?" Chaoyan walked up to him and asked, taking small steps.
"It's impossible. Even if we find the wrong place, those powerful Goblins who are willing to attack the city with a large army to attract the attention of Luolong City are not here to explore, right?"
After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao then said: "It seems like those metal flame giant lions that suddenly appeared just now.
There must be some magical mechanism or physical mechanism around here that we haven't triggered yet."
"What you said makes sense." After hearing this, Ariel's frowning eyebrows immediately relaxed, and she nodded thoughtfully and said, "It seems that there must be another mystery nearby."
Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp chanting of mantras.
Ariel's eyes were slightly closed, and the pure white metal staff in her hand launched three continuously rotating golden hexagram magic arrays.
As the spell became louder and louder, the three golden magic arrays rotated faster and faster, and at the same time, the golden textures on them began to become clearer.
"Glory Stigmata!"
Finally, with Ariel's soft drink, the three magic circles originally surrounding the staff suddenly expanded and transformed.
The next second, with Ariel's feet as the center, a series of winding or straight lines of light quickly expanded on the ground, like lines on a circuit board or cracked earth.
Moreover, this kind of magic lines can not only extend on the ground, but also spread to the walls, which looks quite magical.
"Lord, it seems this is a kind of detection magic."
On the other side, Chaoyan whispered in Lei Xiao's ear: "However, it seems that it only works on fixed objects. It is an analytical detection magic."
"That's it." Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
After getting to know the world better, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
In this world, detection type magic can be roughly divided into two types.
The first type is analytical detection magic.
The main uses, such as discovering underground treasures, hidden mechanisms or secret rooms, etc., almost only have an effect on static objects, and the effect on moving objects is very weak.
What Ariel is currently performing is obviously this type.
The second type is perceptual detection magic.
This kind of spell, on the contrary, focuses more on dynamic objects, such as invisible opponents, or sneaking opponents, etc.
Just as Lei Xiao was thinking to himself, Ariel on the side had already extended the traces of light from the ground to the wall to the roof of the underground square.
A moment later, Ariel, who was concentrating with her eyes closed, suddenly opened her starry eyes, raised her head slightly, and pointed directly at the junction of a wall and the ceiling not far away.
Looking along the other person's line of sight, Lei Xiao noticed.
That wall was not extended by a large number of light lines.
In other words, as soon as the line of light touched there, it automatically changed its direction, eventually forming an island-like area.
"It seems that the mystery is there." After noticing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Ariel jumped into the air and began to approach that special area.
Just when she was about to get closer, she seemed to receive some kind of induction.
On that special area, a roaring golden lion pattern suddenly appeared, which was the iconic coat of arms of the Leng Yan royal family.
The next second, the shield-shaped coat of arms with a golden lion and a red background suddenly shone brightly.
Immediately afterwards, Ariel released the detection magic.
A giant, constantly rotating light gray magic circle began to appear on the wall.
"Is this a teleportation circle?"
Feeling the strange energy fluctuations constantly coming from the magic circle, Lei Xiao nodded slightly. He had only encountered this feeling when using the teleportation crystal.
"I see."
At this time, Ariel, who landed again, could not help but show a look of sudden enlightenment and murmured to herself: "It turns out that the resting place of our ancestors is not here.
This is just the teleportation entrance to the resting place!"
"Your Highness, the origin of this teleportation circle is unknown, so I'd better let the veteran try it first."
At this time, looking at Ariel who was eager to try and ready to step forward, the white-haired Bert bowed slightly and walked first to the gray magic circle floating on the wall.
However, when he tentatively touched the magic circle with his fingers.
An invisible force appeared on the constantly rotating magic circle, pushing it directly out, apparently causing a resistance reaction.
Immediately afterwards, Ju Bai also stepped forward and tried, but was also rejected by the magic circle.
"It seems that only I, who is a member of the Lengyan royal family and has the blood of the King of Heroes, can successfully enter the magic circle!"
Seeing this, Ariel stepped forward with excitement and ran straight towards the magic circle.
Bang!
However, there was a muffled sound.
Except for a red mark on her smooth and white forehead, it was obviously not successful.
"How could this happen?" Ariel's face was full of confusion as she covered her aching forehead.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao took a step forward slightly, ready to take a closer look.
There is no doubt that he will not try this teleportation magic circle of unknown origin easily.
"Hey, if even this princess, who has royal blood, can't enter, don't get involved blindly..."
However, Ariel's words were not finished yet.
Under everyone's surprised gazes, the magic circle actually sucked Lei Xiao into it, who was not yet close.
