Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne and ordered to the subordinates: "Okay, all work in the territory is as usual. Other main subordinates, get ready to go. We will go to the Yuan Storm soon."
Let’s explore.”
"As you command! Lord!"
Hearing the sound, all the subordinates in the lower position bowed in unison and said in unison.
Next, Lei Xiao went up the spiral staircase at the back of the hall and returned to the lord's office on the third floor.
The first thing Lei Xiao did when he returned to the office was to inform Pan Zhi, whose territory was also located in the Songyin Mountains, to prepare for the teleportation of his group.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao contacted Kelly from Fanyin City and ordered her to contact the strong men of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group in advance to prepare the ground for him to discuss specific employment matters.
Lei Xiao had already learned about this before.
The employment contract between these strong men of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group and the city lord Orr expired the day before yesterday, and they are currently in a gap period without tasks.
Therefore, there will not be any contractual conflicts.
Just after Lei Xiao arranged everything.
An extremely impressive momentum, carrying a biting wind, suddenly swept in from the half-open door.
It made the fluff on the red velvet carpet in the middle of the office that the old butler Ward had previously arranged tremble slightly.
"Good guy, judging from the smell, Ariel has successfully advanced."
Lei Xiao just thought of this.
A slender figure had already appeared at the door. While gently knocking on the half-open door, he poked his fair and delicate cheek in.
This person was none other than Ariel, who looked ecstatic.
"Come in."
Looking at the youngest princess Leng Yan who couldn't help but be happy at the door, Lei Xiao smiled faintly.
"Yes, Lord Lord!"
Gently pushing the door open, Ariel knelt down on one knee without hesitation, saluted Lei Xiao and said, "This subordinate has lived up to the Lord's expectations and has successfully advanced to the fourth level!"
At this moment, the joy on Ariel's face was beyond words.
You know, for ordinary strong people with good talents.
Qiuji has practiced hard all his life, and being able to advance to the third level of a strong man who can defeat one against a hundred in his lifetime is equivalent to reaching the pinnacle of life, enough to gain the respect and admiration of most people.
And a fourth-level strong man who can defeat a thousand is an existence that all third-level strong men can only look up to. This is evident from this!
A fourth-level strong man is enough to change the fate of the entire family on his own!
A fourth-level strong man who was born as a commoner can become an upper-class noble with a fiefdom as long as he accepts the royal recruitment.
And the fourth-level strong men who were born in low-level nobles were able to jump several levels in a row, and hereditary titles were passed down, and they were praised and respected by countless descendants.
Of course, for Ariel, who is already a member of the Cold Flame royal family, these naturally don't matter.
The most important thing is to start from this moment.
She has already stood at the same level of strength as her three royal brothers, truly on an equal footing with each other!
"With the help of Lord Lord, I am no longer the weak princess who allows others to trample on and assassinate me!"
Thinking of this, Ariel took a deep breath, her starry eyes sparkling.
On the other side, Lei Xiao had already opened Ariel's attribute bar.
[Name: Ariel]
[Occupation: Great Mage of Light]
[Level: Level 4, One Star]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill 1: Streaming Arrow "Active" (light attribute spell single target attack, additional piercing effect, outstanding effect on dark attribute targets)]
[Skill 2: Aurora's Glory "Active" (light attribute spell group attack, additional blinding effect, outstanding effect on dark attribute targets)]
[Skill 3: Dome Light Illumination "Active" (light attribute spell wide area attack, additional blinding effect, outstanding effect on dark attribute targets)]
[Skill 3: Brilliant Stigmata "Active" (light attribute detection magic, able to discover hidden treasures, magic mechanisms and magic chambers)]
[Skill Four: Light Attribute Magic Mastery "Passive" (When using light attribute magic, the damage will be moderately increased)]
"Not bad, have you mastered the wide-area skills with a wider range of damage?"
After closing Ariel's attribute bar, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
This undoubtedly means that after Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Ju Bai, Bert and Xue Ya, he already has the eighth level 4 powerhouse under his command who can defeat a thousand people with one person!
"My team of strong men is really getting stronger and stronger!"
After leaning down to help Ariel up, Lei Xiao couldn't help but cheered in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao briefly described his analysis of the dimensional storm to Ariel.
"I didn't expect that a dimensional storm would actually occur in the Songyin Mountains..."
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, a thoughtful look suddenly appeared on Ariel's fair face.
"also?"
Keenly aware of the unusualness in Ariel's words, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frown slightly.
"To be honest, Lord, a hundred years ago, starting from my grandfather's generation, King Lengyan, a dimensional storm would occur every few years in various places in Lengyan."
Nodding to Lei Xiao solemnly, Ariel continued: "At the beginning, because the power of the dimensional storm was too terrifying, it would often cause a city to disappear, leaving no vegetation or life.
Therefore, in order to avoid panic, the news was suppressed by the royal family and covered up with tornadoes or other natural disasters. Even except for the royal family members and the few survivors who were required to keep it secret, even the generals and noble families of the past dynasties,
There’s no way to understand it.”
Ariel took a deep breath and said: "Furthermore, since my father ascended the throne, the time between each dimensional storm has also been significantly shortened.
However, most of the previous dimensional storms occurred in deserted villages and towns in border areas. Unexpectedly, this time, it happened directly in the hinterland of the Songyin Mountains."
"So that's it. Is there a tendency for the intervals between dimensional storms to gradually shorten?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Analyze based on the current situation.
In the initial stage of the dimensional storm, the random portal formed will most likely lead to a certain secret treasure cave.
I am afraid that the Leng Yan royal family at that time, in addition to avoiding panic, also wanted to take possession of the treasure as their own.
After all, according to Hong Ye, these random portals will directly lead to nearby energy-rich areas.
The secret treasure cave protected by magic restrictions just meets this requirement.
Therefore, just like this time, the random portal that can lead to the location of the treasure is obviously not just an exception.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao regained his composure, and cast his gaze on Ariel's fair and translucent cheek in front of him, and said: "If this is the case, then the royal family must have some means of detection and solution.
Bar?"
"Back to Lord, this is exactly the case. Starting from my father's generation, most of the dimensional storms have been secretly suppressed by Uncle Wu before they were fully formed, making many Lengyan people immune.
Due to the attack of a disaster."
Nodding towards Lei Xiao, Ariel couldn't help but have a look of pride on her face, and continued: "To be honest with you, Lord, my father just established a secret monitoring agency just after he ascended the throne.
Detect the possibility of dimensional storms in various places in Lengyan.
The reason why I know this in detail is because as a supervising member of the royal family, I have also spent some time in this secret monitoring agency."
At this point, Ariel's slender eyebrows lowered again, and she shook her head and said: "Unfortunately, after my father became seriously ill, these secret organizations lost the support of his father, and most of them were forced to disband.
The ability to monitor dimensional storms.”
"Understood."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Since your father is no longer able to protect the people of Lengyan, then this time, let us do it."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao added: "Of course, it's also for the treasures and the unconscious friendly alien lord among them."
"As you command! Lord!"
On the other side, Ariel looked happy and quickly bowed again and responded.
At this time, in Ariel's eyes, Lei Xiao was shrouded in the brilliant sunlight projected from the window, with a faint golden halo surrounding him, and he looked particularly tall and straight.
Next, Lei Xiao immediately read the words.
A total of ten subordinates including Huzhang, Hong Ye, Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Bert, Ju Bai, Bai Wei, A Ling, A Bing, and Ariel in front of them were gathered at the gate of the lord's mansion, ready to start.
Make a transfer.
As Nan Xing Nan Yue was injured, Lei Xiao did not allow the twin sisters to participate in this operation. He only ordered them to rest well and stay in charge of the territory.
After a moment, he looked at the ten main subordinates who were waiting around him, Lei Xiao, who was holding a teleportation crystal, nodded slightly, and then said: "Let's go! The area near the dimensional storm in Songyin Mountain Range!"
After speaking, Lei Xiao directly crushed the teleportation crystal in his hand.
The next second, a strange light gray energy immediately enveloped everyone on our side.
One minute flew by in the blink of an eye.
When Lei Xiao felt his body instantly light, he once again had a sense of fulfillment with his feet on the ground.
He had already arrived at a mountain territory located under a cliff.
Surrounded by his subordinates, Lei Xiao looked around and noticed.
Because this territory is backed by a mountain wall, it has a natural defensive wall.
Therefore, the single-story houses and utility rooms on the periphery were built into a semicircular structure, wrapping the wooden lord's mansion on level 3 in the center.
Moreover, several large trees with vines on the periphery of the territory were transformed into simple watchtowers, which seemed to be arranged in a very orderly manner.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao withdrew his gaze and focused his gaze on Pan Zhi, the male Sanren lord who had explored the Eternal Ship together in front of him.
I saw that the other party was wearing a roughly cut animal skin top with sleeves, a pair of linen pants, plus messy hair and tanned skin that had not been taken care of for a long time.
At first glance, he looked like a skinny hunter, obviously darker than last time.
However, judging from the strings of dried meat, cleanly treated monster furs, and a lush green field planted in his territory, it shows that he is living quite well.
And behind him, there were two subordinates who looked like bodyguards.
The one on the left is wearing a tattered barrel helmet with pitted holes on his head and a shiny silver armor jacket. It is the first-level armor that Lei Xiao gave Qin Qian to distribute.
The one on the right is wearing a helmet that matches the armor, a somewhat rusty copper-colored chainmail, and his limbs still have the wrist and leg guards that matched the armor just now.
Seeing that the other party gave a set of equipment to two subordinates to wear, Lei Xiao couldn't help but smile.
Although it looks a bit nondescript, Lei Xiao can easily sense it.
The two relatively strong subordinates on the other side are both at around a first-order six-star level. For an ordinary lord, they are considered to have considerable combat prowess.
However, these are not the main ones.
As soon as he arrived here, Lei Xiao could clearly feel it.
The surrounding air is indeed a bit thin, and violent currents of energy are rippling back and forth in all directions.
"Brother Xiaoshen, you are finally here!"
On the other side, Pan Zhi immediately came up to him and said with a worried look on his face: "Please come with me!"
Just like that, under the guidance of Pan Zhi.
After bypassing the mountain peaks on the back of this territory, when Lei Xiao stood on a hill not far away with a wide view, everything in front of him suddenly became clear.
I saw that the vast area about one kilometer ahead was completely covered by a thick layer of black fog.
In the black fog, lightning flashed and there was a faint rumble of thunder. The whole scene looked quite breathtaking.
Miraculously, the sky above the black fog is still clear, which makes people wonder.
"Lord, this is indeed a dimensional storm."
Just when Lei Xiao saw this.
Hong Ye on the side took a step forward, bowed slightly and said: "Moreover, it is just the initial stage of formation."
Hearing this, Ariel also nodded in agreement.
"Brother Xiaoshen, the black mist won't spread here."
Pan Zhi, who was standing at the very back, swallowed involuntarily and said worriedly.
To him, the horrific scene in front of him was simply like the Doomsday Judgment, making people tremble uncontrollably.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, everything will be solved."
Smiling faintly at Pan Zhi, Lei Xiao moved his mind and handed the two first-level strengthening pills that permanently enhance his strength to the other party, and then said: "This is regarded as your reward for providing important information. Next,
Just leave it to me."
After finishing speaking, under Pan Zhi's dull eyes.
Lei Xiao and the others all flashed, and at the same time as they brought up a gust of wind, they disappeared in an instant.
