After pondering for a moment, Xiaoya, who was standing between Chaoyan and Bai Wei, first took a deep breath, then stood up and said in a loud voice: "Lord Qi, I have something to say."
Because it was his first time to speak formally in front of so many subordinates, the young illusionist seemed very nervous. Not only did his voice lack confidence, but his steps were also obviously stiff.
Looking at Xiaoya who was at a loss but trying hard to express herself, Lei Xiao smiled slightly, waved his hand to indicate that she didn't need to be nervous, and said: "It doesn't matter, just say whatever you want."
"As you command, Lord."
I saw Xiaoya taking another deep breath, after receiving encouraging looks from the younger sisters such as Chaoyan and Bai Wei, as well as the older sisters such as Xue Ya and Nan Yue.
Then he regained his energy and said loudly: "Just as the Lord said, first of all, this magical phenomenon of large-area black clouds covering the forest can indeed rule out that it is a naturally formed mirage."
Nodding to Lei Xiao, Xiaoya bowed slightly and continued: "Furthermore, apart from the sudden treasure reaction, my subordinates believe that this strange phenomenon does not seem to be the work of an illusionist."
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, held his chin with one hand and said thoughtfully.
"Back to the lord, in most cases, an illusionist will indeed make some disguise outside the area of the illusion he casts, because a perfect illusion not only needs to confuse the target, but also needs to confuse people outside the target.
of other people, making it difficult for them to discover the existence of the illusion.”
Frowning her eyebrows, Xiaoya began to speak faster unconsciously, and continued eloquently: "Thus, this large area of black clouds covering the forest and the thunder and lightning are a bit too eye-catching. On the contrary, I want to
It is obviously not common sense for others to notice this, and besides..."
"I didn't expect that this girl couldn't stop talking. Isn't this a special talent?"
Hearing Xiaoya's words like popping beans, Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly and continued to listen.
"Another point is that in the surrounding areas of the illusion, depending on the illusionist's own skills and level, as well as the types of illusions and auxiliary props used, there will indeed be some derived abnormal reactions. Among them, the most common one is energy.
Turbulence."
I saw Xiaoya continuing to maintain a bowed posture, and said fluently: "However, the situation of thin air will mostly only occur in the center of the illusion, but it will hardly affect the outside world."
At this point, Xiaoya's speaking speed began to return to normal, and she concluded: "So, based on the above two points, plus the sudden reaction of the treasure, I judge that the vision of the dark clouds pressing down on the forest is not an illusion.
caused by.”
"As expected of Xiaoya, what you said makes sense."
Hearing the sound, Chaoyan, who was wearing a pointed witch hat, took a step forward, tilted his head and asked in confusion: "But, how should we explain the fish that appeared in the sky that day?"
"Could it be that the other lord who was communicating with the lord had some kind of hallucination?"
A rough voice sounded. Standing at the front of the team to the left of Lei Xiao, the extremely burly Huzhang said thoughtfully.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out."
After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao picked up the tea cup and took a sip of the freshly brewed fragrant tea.
Then he said: "Ignore this point for the time being. Since we have just proved that the reaction of black clouds pressing down on the forest and the treasure is not caused by illusion, then just from the appearance of the thundercloud pressing down, the thin air, and the sudden appearance of the treasure
Judging from the reactions, what do you think?"
"Lord, as far as my subordinates know, the dark clouds and thin air are similar to the reactions when various high-level spells are released."
Ye Cang pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said thoughtfully: "However, the sudden reaction of the treasure cannot be explained."
After pondering for a moment, Ye Cang seemed to have remembered something, a glimmer of light flashed in his glasses, and he said: "If we just look at the sudden treasure reaction, the most likely possibility is space system magic!"
"Senior Ye Cang, are you saying that someone used the space teleportation technique to teleport some kind of treasure to the Songyin Mountains?"
Hearing this, Xiaoya pondered and said, "If you think about it this way, this is indeed the most reasonable explanation."
"But how to explain the dark clouds over the city and the thin air? This is obviously not a derivative phenomenon of space magic."
Xue Ya, who was standing in the back row of the team, gently stroked a strand of waist-length hair and said in deep thought: "And why did the caster do this?"
Currently, she is the only alchemist present, and Fasha, as well as Ariel at the beginning, are all in the process of advancing.
Hearing this, the faces of the other subordinates couldn't help but have the same puzzled look.
If you think about it this way, things are undoubtedly getting more and more complicated.
"Actually, things are not that complicated, and there is no magician at all."
Just when everyone was confused and puzzled.
Hongye, who was wearing a red outfit and a long ponytail, smiled at the other subordinates and said, "Everyone, have you heard of the dimensional storm?"
"Dimensional storm? I remember that when I was in the Magic Tower, I seemed to have read this term in an ancient book in the attic library..."
Chao Yan raised his head, frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said: "But there is no specific explanation..."
"There is no explanation, which is normal, because this is a natural phenomenon that often occurred before that mysterious blank era. It has been very long ago."
Hongye smiled faintly and responded.
"It's actually a natural phenomenon before the blank era?!"
Hearing the sound, everyone present, including Lei Xiao, could not help but have expressions of surprise on their faces.
You know, in that strange and unpredictable blank era.
Due to unknown wars and large-scale natural disasters, countless glorious civilizations of all races on the mainland were destroyed in one fell swoop.
So much so that even the historical documents before the blank era were almost completely destroyed.
Although there are still some that have been passed down to this day, most of them are just fragments and folklore.
This is the direct reason why the blank era is called the historical fault period.
That is, there is no documentary record except itself.
Even the history before the Blank Age is rarely circulated today, which has triggered countless speculations by people in later generations.
Therefore, Hong Ye's words caused such a reaction.
After all, people are always very yearning and curious about that glorious era.
On the other side, while being surprised, Lei Xiao had a thoughtful look on his face.
Lei Xiao had already understood this before.
Including Hongye's parents, although this group of dragons only emerged from the carefully hidden dragon lair after the blank era, they don't know what happened in the blank era.
However, the dragons have a special talent, which is that they can vaguely feel some memories from the places where the ancestors of the dragons once stayed.
Although these memories do not include the blank era itself.
But it does touch on the glory before the blank era.
This is also the direct reason why Hongye possesses this knowledge.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao regained his energy, nodded to the dragon woman next to him, and said: "Hongye, please explain in more detail."
"As you command, Lord."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Hong Ye's red lips opened slightly and continued: "It is said that in that era, the power controlled by all the races on the mainland was much more powerful than it is now.
Especially the Chosen Sons of God, who are the ceiling of combat power among all races, often possess extremely terrifying strength, so much so that they can easily overturn mountains and seas with a snap of their fingers."
At this time, a rare solemn look appeared on Hong Ye's face, and he continued: "Because of this, the energy particles in the air are often in an extremely chaotic state, and this is what causes the dimension
Important cause of the storm.”
"The so-called dimensional storm is a natural phenomenon in the space system. From the appearance, when the dimensional storm first formed, it was a strange landscape of thunderclouds pressing down on the ground, and it made the surrounding air become thinner."
Hong Ye still maintained his bowing posture and said, "If Ye Cang hadn't mentioned space magic just now, my subordinates wouldn't have thought of it at all."
"So it turns out that the dark clouds pressing down on the forest and the thin air are indeed both in harmony."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
"Lord, it's not just that. In the initial stage of the formation of the dimensional storm, strong men below the third level will faint quickly and lose consciousness completely if they are accidentally covered by it."
Nodding slightly to Lei Xiao, Hong Ye continued: "Furthermore, along with the dimensional storm, there are often small-scale mirages. Since they are inside the dimensional storm, they are difficult to detect. Presumably this should be
Maybe that’s why there are fish in the sky.”
"Is not only the external landscape, but also the internal situation completely correct?"
Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, Lei Xiao murmured to himself: "It seems that the dimensional storm is undoubtedly caused by the Songyin Mountain Range."
"But, why has a phenomenon that has almost never appeared in the past three thousand years suddenly appeared again now?"
On the other side, Chao Yan pouted and said with a puzzled expression.
"We can talk about these later."
Picking up the steaming white porcelain teacup and taking another sip, Lei Xiao asked the dragon clan again: "Hongye, then, what is the reason for the sudden treasure reaction?"
"Back to Lord, another characteristic of the dimensional storm is that it will naturally form one or more time and space portals inside, leading to different areas, but most of them are in the surrounding areas."
After bowing to Lei Xiao again, Hong Ye responded: "It should be the other end of the portal, which happens to be in a secret treasure cave, or a similar area. This must be the reason for the treasure reaction."
"It's interesting."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and a look of interest appeared on his face.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao's face became serious again, and he asked again: "Hong Ye, now that we have confirmed that the culprit of this matter is this Yuan Storm, how harmful is that Yuan Storm?"
"Back to Lord Lord, just as my subordinates said, judging from the current situation, this is only the initial stage of the dimensional storm. In addition to strange phenomena, randomly formed unknown portals, and the fainting of strong people below the third level
, and no other harm.”
I saw Hong Ye bowing slightly and responded: "In other words, the current situation cannot be called a real dimensional storm. It can only be converted from the initial stage to a medium-term vacuum state with almost no air. Then
This is the beginning of the nightmare.”
After a pause, Hong Ye continued: "However, the most terrifying thing is the true dimensional storm in the final stage.
By then, wherever the dimensional storm like a tornado hits, the space will be shattered. Except for fifth-level powerhouses and fourth-level and above space magicians who can resist for a period of time, all mountains, rivers and rivers will cease to exist.
He was instantly drawn into the void."
Hearing the sound, all the subordinates couldn't help but look stern and took a breath of the cold air.
For ordinary powerful people below level five, being drawn into the void is equivalent to a death sentence.
Lei Xiao, who was in the top position, looked thoughtful.
Before that, Lei Xiao had already learned about it during the conversation with Jiang Li, who was a space magician.
Just like light must have shadows, corresponding to the normal space in this world for all races to survive, is the void space in which they cannot survive.
The magical barrier area was formed by the space magister forcibly opening up a normal space in the void space.
Moreover, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
Even if the normal space is accidentally broken due to space magic or other reasons, it will be restored soon, so there is no need to worry about this.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao, who frowned, pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Hongye, since the current dimensional storm has not yet become a problem, there must be a way to crack it, right?"
"Back to Lord, that's exactly what it is."
Nodding to Lei Xiao, Hong Ye responded again: "As long as you go to the eye of the storm area and use energy to suppress it before the dimensional storm is completely formed and reaches its final stage, everything will naturally be solved."
After smiling, Hongye continued: "For my subordinates, this is naturally an easy thing."
After finishing speaking, Hong Ye seemed to have remembered something and said: "Furthermore, as far as my subordinates know, the formation speed of dimensional storm is extremely slow. We have enough time to explore the treasure first and then destroy it."
."
"I understand. It seems that this will be a very interesting unknown adventure."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said: "I think I know what to do next.
