Hearing Hong Ye's crisp voice of surprise, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a curious look on his face, and asked: "What is going on there?"
"Return to your lord, please wait a moment while my subordinates investigate carefully."
On the other end of the conversation, Hong Ye's cautious voice came over again.
"Understood."
Looking at the giant gray mist that flowed like liquid not far away, the curiosity on Lei Xiao's face began to become more and more obvious.
After a while, Hong Ye's clear voice came again: "My subordinates have already investigated and there is no danger here."
"Very good, we'll be there soon."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao immediately nodded to the subordinates who were already ready to go.
Next, surrounded by subordinates.
When Lei Xiao walked straight into the giant gray fog with a special texture.
Accompanied by a flash of gray light.
His body instantly became extremely light, just like when using the teleportation crystal.
However, this feeling of complete weightlessness was fleeting.
When Lei Xiao felt himself fulfilled again.
He had already arrived on a flat and solid stone ground.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, a turbid air mixed with the smell of musty and dust poured into Lei Xiao's nose.
However, due to the energy shield on Lei Xiao's body, most of the dust in the air has been isolated.
Therefore, apart from the slight itching of the nose at the beginning, there was no other effect.
Compared with the dimensional storm where the air was thin just now, it is because the air here is at a normal level that it is obviously much easier to breathe.
Then, seeing that the other subordinates around him had also been teleported, Lei Xiao looked around.
All around this unfamiliar space were mottled walls that were moldy and green, with neatly inlaid light crystals that were covered with dust and had become extremely dim.
Moreover, on the surface of the stone wall, there are a large number of relief carvings with war scenes. Judging from the shape of the human warriors on it, this is obviously a long-dusted human relic.
"A hall of human ruins?"
Looking at the giant gray fog behind him, which completely blocked the space behind him, Lei Xiao's eyes finally fixed on the entrance to the passage in front of the hall.
"Lord, the entrance to the ruins has been blocked by the portal. It is currently impossible to determine the specific location here. However, the passage leading to the depths of the ruins is unobstructed."
Hong Ye, who had been waiting here for a long time, bowed slightly to Lei Xiao.
"I understand, how is the situation inside?"
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao motioned to Hongye to lead the way and asked,
"Back to the lord, this seems to be an ancient forging place for human blacksmiths."
On the other side, Hong Ye understood and walked at the front of the team while introducing: "The magic restriction that originally existed in front of us has been broken just now by my subordinates."
"Forging place?"
After hearing Hong Ye's introduction, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a look of interest on his face.
Currently, Fang Hai, the forging master under his command, has not yet begun to focus on training, and the magic furnace used for forging is only an ordinary product.
And if the best magic furnace can be found here, it will undoubtedly further increase Fang Hai's forging ability and efficiency!
"Before this, although I had already captured a mysterious magical furnace of the dwarves called the [Immortal Furnace] from the hands of a strong man from the mysterious organization in the lost city of Hearth Castle in the Gate of Immortality."
"However, because the magic furnaces of different races correspond to their own smelting magic arrays and forging magic arrays.
Although the methods of use are similar, there are often considerable differences in the control of the heat. Blindly using the magic furnaces of other races may not achieve satisfactory results."
"So, I did not give the [Immortal Furnace] to Fang Hai for use. Firstly, it is because of the racial mismatch. Secondly, since it is an object that the mysterious organization wants to obtain in thousands of ways, there must be something special about it."
"All in all, if you can gain something here, it would be great. After all, a good magic furnace is like a blacksmith's magic weapon. It can play a great assisting role in forging equipment.
.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Then, a puzzled expression appeared on his cheek again: "By the way, I just heard Hong Ye say that the scene here is a bit unexpected, but where is the surprise?"
Looking at the mottled and ancient ordinary walls around him, the doubts on Lei Xiao's face became more and more obvious.
Next, when Lei Xiao walked into the ruins passage ahead from the ruins hall with doubts, and then moved to the other end of the L-shaped passage, the doubts in his heart were solved.
What caught his eyes ahead was a sea of swords.
All I saw in the huge underground space in front of me was a narrow passage for people to walk.
In other places, the sword tips are pointed downward, and there are all kinds of long swords of different sizes and shapes inserted crookedly.
There are large two-handed swords, medium-sized broad-bladed swords, broad swords, knight swords, rapiers, etc., covering almost all types of swords.
At a glance, illuminated by the faint light crystals on the surrounding walls, they are so densely packed that it is almost impossible to see the end. The scene can be said to be extremely spectacular.
Observing carefully, Lei Xiao noticed.
There is no flash of color on these long swords, and most of them have been extremely rusty. Even the blades of the swords are full of rust, giving them a very aged look.
"Good guy, this is simply a sword tomb."
At this time, Lei Xiao's face was filled with shock.
Before this, the forest of giant axes in the ancient temple of the Titans was already breathtaking.
The sword tomb in front of us is undoubtedly greater than the former in terms of number and area.
After being amazed, Lei Xiao stepped forward and immediately pulled out a mottled knight's sword.
Although half of the sword's blade has been inserted into the hard stone floor tiles.
But for Lei Xiao, whose strength is already at the peak of the third level, it is naturally easy to pull it out.
Just as he pulled out the long sword, gravel and soil flew out, followed by an ancient aura that had been covered in dust for a long time.
The blade of the sword can still hum gently, as if telling the story of its past glory and its master who died in battle.
Feeling the rough and cold metal hilt, Lei Xiao casually opened the attribute bar of the long sword.
[Grade: Damaged] [Original: Second Grade? Excellent (Green)]
[Attack Strength: Damaged] [Original: ★★]
[Additional effect: Damaged] [Original: Sharp "Physical penetration increased by 15%"]
[Note: The standard weapons of the Guardsmen of the Kingdom of Loren, along with the fall of the kingdom, these weapons were also lost in the torrent of history. 】
"Kingdom of Loren? I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao turned over the rusty sword and showed a thoughtful expression.
On the other side, seeing the checkered position of the mottled long sword in Lei Xiao's hand and the vaguely visible horse-shaped crest, Ariel couldn't help but blurt out: "It turns out that this is an ancient ruins of the Kingdom of Loren!"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and motioned for Ariel to continue speaking.
"Back to Lord, the Kingdom of Loren is one of the human kingdoms that once roamed this land thousands of years ago. It is located in the eastern region of Lengyan where we are now, and the area is about the same."
Ariel moved lightly and walked to Lei Xiao's side.
For her, who has received the top elite education since she was a child, the history and humanities of this land for three thousand years since the blank era are naturally deeply imprinted in her mind.
"By the way, Lin and Fang Hai have mentioned it several times. It is said that this is an ancient country that highly advocates the spirit of chivalry, right? It was eventually destroyed in a country-destroying war a thousand years ago."
After hearing Ariel's explanation, the vague memories in Lei Xiao's mind instantly became clear, and he thought thoughtfully.
"Your Lordship is right. In that battle, the capital of the Kingdom of Loren, as well as the last 100,000 defenders, were all destroyed by the powerful magic and iron hoof of the opponent's Alliance Army."
Nodding to Lei Xiao, Ariel opened her red lips lightly and responded: "In the end, there were only ruins and corpses scattered all over the place, which became a feast for the ravens."
"I have completely remembered that after the fall of the Loren Kingdom, it means that the troubled times in this land that have lasted for nearly four hundred years have officially begun, right?"
He inserted the knight's sword back into the gap, causing the rusty sword body to make a low buzzing sound again. Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said: "Although we worked together to destroy the Kingdom of Loren, we lost our target.
New disputes have arisen within the Alliance Army."
"That's right, it wasn't until the appearance of the ancestor of my subordinates, Leng Yan's first generation of monarch and hero King Xi Sa, that the troubled times were completely ended, and the Leng Yan Kingdom was finally established, restoring peace to this war-torn land.
"
On the other side, Ariel bowed slightly and saluted again.
"Now it's straightened out, let's move on."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao patted the dust on his palms and took his steps again.
Next, in the sword tomb area full of long swords, follow the narrow passage all the way forward.
After walking for about six or seven minutes, a new passage appeared in front of Lei Xiao and his party.
During this process, Lei Xiao noticed.
The other long swords here, large and small, are all in the second level. Because they are severely rusted, they cannot be upgraded, and naturally they have no value.
"Lord, the forging room is ahead."
At this time, Hong Ye, who was walking at the front to lead the way, turned around and introduced him immediately.
"very good."
Raising his hand slightly to signal Hong Ye to continue leading the way, Lei Xiao quickened his pace.
Just like that, the group of people entering the passage stepped on the floating dust and some loose stone slabs, and after turning another L-shaped turn, everything in front of them suddenly became clear again.
This time, what appeared in front of Lei Xiao was a huge space that was almost the same area as the sword tomb just now.
At a glance, the walls here are still inlaid with a large number of light crystals that emit a faint light.
Under the light of the light crystal, this vast space was divided into several large and small semi-enclosed compartments.
In each compartment, there is a magic furnace that is as tall as a person. The smoke outlet at the top of the furnace is directly opposite the exhaust port at the top of the space. The layout is very reasonable.
Next to each furnace, you can also see some common tools such as anvils, quenching pools, sledgehammers, small hammers, pliers and bellows, which are all available.
However, the same rusty traces everywhere and the messy scene in most of the compartments showed that the blacksmiths who had sweated here were obviously in a hurry when they left.
"Lord, this is indeed a forge of the Kingdom of Loren."
Looking at the horse emblem engraved on the wall of the space, Ariel, who was wearing a slightly curly ponytail, took a step forward and said: "As far as my subordinates know, when the forging work begins, each semi-enclosed compartment
, will be completely covered by the silent barrier, so they will not disturb each other."
"I see. Is it like the barrier used at the Gelin City Alchemist Conference?"
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao immediately said: "Okay, time is running out. Since there is a treasure response here, let's start investigating separately."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao waved his hands to both sides, making a spreading gesture.
"As you command, Lord Lord!"
On the other side, all the subordinates bowed together and began to take action in this long-lost forge.
Lei Xiao, accompanied by Ariel who acted as the commentator, went straight to the largest compartment in the center of the forging room.
"Lord, look, this magic furnace is obviously different from the others!"
Just as she reached the door of the largest compartment, Ariel's surprised voice rang out: "Look, this should be the workplace of the chief blacksmith here."
Having said this, Ariel paused for a moment and then said: "The scale of this place is not at all like the royal forges that my subordinates have seen in the royal capital."
"Isn't it the forging room that belongs to the Lengyan royal family? It seems that we were randomly teleported to an amazing place."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao had already walked to the magic furnace that Ariel mentioned.
Observe carefully, in terms of volume, this magic furnace is larger than the others, and its workmanship is obviously much more exquisite.
Moreover, there are magical streams of light flashing on the surface from time to time, although they are not comparable to the giant [Immortal Furnace] the size of a truck.
But compared with other ordinary magic furnaces, it stands out from the crowd.
"Not bad, this is indeed a good thing. It will be just right for Fang Hai."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
However, next.
Lei Xiao's eyes were attracted by the special emblem on the surface of the large furnace in front of him.
