"Lord, please leave it to your subordinates. I already know every mountain and river in Leng Yan!"
Ariel bowed slightly and spoke confidently.
"Go and be safe."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
"As you command! Lord!"
Putting on the invisibility cloak again, Ariel's slender body disappeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"Hongye, let's take advantage of this time and walk around casually."
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao nodded slightly to the dragon woman on the other side.
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao immediately took his own steps.
"As you command, Lord."
Hong Ye, who was on the side, also immediately followed.
Just like that, accompanied by Hong Ye.
As Lei Xiao walked among the ruins wrapped in emerald green, he couldn't help but look thoughtful.
The thing he was thinking about was naturally the dimensional storm itself.
Absently caressing a section of the low, charred wall whose edges had been smoothed by thousands of years of wind and frost, Lei Xiao recounted to Hong Ye exactly what Ariel had said about the dimensional storm information possessed by the Leng Yan royal family.
once.
"I didn't expect that while my subordinates were sleeping in Dragon Sealing City, dimensional storms would occur so frequently..."
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Hong Ye's delicate face: "My subordinates thought that this dimensional storm was just an accident."
"Things are obviously not as simple as we first thought."
Nodding towards Hong Ye, Lei Xiao continued: "What's even more noteworthy is that, as Ariel said, over the past hundred years, the interval between each dimensional storm has also been shortening year by year.
A trend that is becoming more and more frequent.”
"Your Lordship is right, this is obviously unusual."
Dai Mei frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, and Hong Ye said thoughtfully: "According to the inference of my subordinates, the area where dimensional storms have occurred over the past hundred years is not just the Cold Flame Kingdom, but most likely the entire continent has been affected.
.”
"I have also asked Ariel about this matter. At least in the human countries, the situation is the same as Leng Yan."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao also frowned and said: "Hong Ye, you once said that dimensional storms were a natural phenomenon that often occurred before the blank era three thousand years ago.
The main reason for its formation is that the ceiling of combat power among various tribes, that is, the chosen sons of God, often possess extremely terrifying strength, especially in battles, which can cause the energy particles floating in the air to be at extremely high altitudes.
The chaotic state is the important reason for the dimensional storm."
At this point, Lei Xiao's brows almost knitted together, and he continued: "However, since the end of the blank era, there has never been a chosen son of God among all races.
Moreover, after experiencing the baptism of unknown wars and shocking disasters in the Blank Era, the overall strength of each race is far less than it was before the Blank Era."
Taking a deep breath, Lei Xiao added: "It stands to reason that under these conditions, dimensional storms should not happen again. Why are they happening more and more frequently?"
"This is exactly what my subordinates didn't understand."
Hong Ye said with a puzzled expression: "Now it seems that there is only one possibility, and that is the conditions for the formation of the dimensional storm. In addition to the chaotic energy particles in the air, there seem to be other reasons."
After a pause, Hong Ye shook her head again and said, "As for the specific reason, we don't know now."
At this time, Hong Ye's starry eyes lit up and he said: "By the way, Lord Lord, according to the information obtained by my subordinates, before the coming of the blank era, dimensional storms seemed to be happening more and more frequently across the continent.
Do you think there is any connection between the two?"
"It's very possible. Speaking of which, is it related to the blank era?"
Pouring his lips slightly, Lei Xiao said thoughtfully: "It seems that in addition to the disappearance of the chosen son of God, misplaced objects such as the ancient temples of the Titans, and all ancient ruins from the blank era, no matter what
Races are all lost phenomena without corpses, except for these three points.
One more unsolved mystery related to the blank era has been added."
"Your Lordship is right. What happened in that mysterious blank era really makes people curious."
On the other side, Hong Ye nodded slightly and echoed.
At the same time, she flicked her fingers, and as the flames rose, a giant python monster with a metallic luster on the ground not far away that was trying to get closer was turned into ashes.
Looking at the green smoke and the charred ground not far away, Lei Xiao simply leaned against a big tree and fell into deep thought again.
It has to be said that whether it is the mysterious blank era in the past, the reason for the arrival of one billion lords of Blue Star now, or the unknown catastrophe that is about to happen in the future, it is just the prelude.
Even though it all looks like nothing.
But Lei Xiao had a feeling in his heart.
That is, as I continue to advance, I am getting closer and closer to the longing truth.
"In addition, we cannot relax our investigation regarding the intentions of the mysterious organization. I always feel that this ruthless organization must be plotting something behind the scenes."
Realizing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and thought to himself: "Of course, the most important thing is to continue to increase my strength. Only when my fist is hard enough can I have the power to fight in this world where the jungle is strong and the jungle is strong."
The capital to pursue the truth in a different world."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
As a breeze blew by, Ariel, who was flapping her pale golden wings behind her, landed in front of Lei Xiao.
After being promoted to the level of a fourth-level powerhouse, her movement speed has undoubtedly been greatly improved.
"Lord Qi, my subordinates have figured out the specific location here!"
After bowing to Lei Xiao, Ariel bowed slightly.
"Oh? That's great."
Nodding for Ariel to continue speaking, Lei Xiao, half leaning on the tree trunk, brought his attention back to reality.
"Back to the lord, this place is indeed located to the north of the Songyin Mountains, and there is a small waterfall at the foot of the mountain. The surging water leads to the dense forest connected to the mountains."
Gently patting the dust on her body, Ariel continued: "As for the city closest to here, it is Blue Cold Castle! It is just southeast of this dense forest!"
"Lan Leng Castle? Is that the famous brewing town?"
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking thoughtfully.
At the previous banquet night in the territory, he had heard Lin mention this area.
The wine I was sipping at that time indeed tasted very good. Not only was it easy to drink, but it didn't feel spicy at all. Only the sweetness of the fruit and the aroma of malt intertwined between the teeth, making it endlessly memorable.
"Back to Lord, that's exactly what it is."
Nodding to Lei Xiao, Ariel responded: "Lan Leng Fort's brewing technology is unparalleled. It is an indispensable and important part of the eastern region of Leng Yan, and even Leng Yan as a whole. After all, it is an important part of Leng Yan.
For most upper-class nobles, banquets and fine wine are almost a necessary part of life."
At this time, Ariel couldn't help but frowned slightly and continued: "The size of Lanlen Castle is similar to that of Kongqing Town. The current lord of the city is Shuanghua, known as the Rose Marquis. His family has been brewing wine for generations.
And Leng Yan, who is famous for his wine making, can be regarded as one of the few aristocratic families in brewing."
"Two Flowers? Rose Marquis? That's an interesting name."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao's face couldn't help but show a look of great interest.
"Your Lordship is right. The current city lord of Blue Cold Castle, Shuanghua, was the royal brewer of the Leng Yan royal family before inheriting the family business. Although everything was done perfectly, there is something magical about him.
Damn it."
Speaking of this, Ariel shuddered involuntarily, as if she remembered some bad memories.
"To be able to make this arrogant fifth princess of Leng Yan make such an expression, from a certain perspective, this Rose Marquis is an extremely impressive person."
Noticing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but smile.
After regaining her composure, Ariel said again: "Lord, in short, my subordinates have fully grasped the geographical location of the ruins of the royal capital of Loren."
After a pause, Ariel continued: "Perhaps, it is precisely because this place is close to the brewing town of Blue Cold Castle that it has not been discovered. After all, in the entire Blue Cold Castle, except for wine making, there is no other way.
No interest whatsoever."
"It turns out that the reason why Blue Cold Castle is famous all over the world is probably due to interest."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao immediately said: "Okay, now that we have grasped the specific location here, let's leave for now and take Fang Hai to explore it later."
Needless to say, at present, the dimensional storm in the Songyin Mountains has not yet been suppressed.
Moreover, our main mission this time is to go to Fanyin City to negotiate with the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group to garrison the border, so naturally we cannot stay here longer.
"As you command! Lord!"
Directly opposite, Ariel and Hongye bowed together and said in unison.
In this way, they returned to the ancient forge underground, and other subordinates such as Polygonum Zandi immediately surrounded it.
"Lord, in addition to some damaged magic furnaces and ordinary forging equipment, my subordinates also found several storage rooms for forging materials."
A rough voice sounded, and the knotweed bowed and said, "However, they are all ordinary materials such as copper, iron ore, and there is nothing special about them."
Having said this, Polygonum Weed couldn't help but shook his head.
"No problem, being able to confirm that this is the ruins of King Loren's capital and finding the magic furnace of Fang Hai's ancestor is already a huge gain for us."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao waved his hand and said: "Okay, the top priority now is to return to the dimensional storm and suppress it. We will talk about the rest later."
There is no doubt that for most lords.
Copper and iron ore is obviously the most critical resource for mansion upgrade at this stage, and it is what everyone dreams of.
For Lei Xiao, these are naturally useless items that take up space even if they are installed in a space bracelet.
Next, Lei Xiao and his party followed the direction they came from, passed through the narrow passage in the middle of the sword tomb, and returned to the underground hall where they started.
Under the dim light spar, looking at the gray mist that was still flowing and rolling like a liquid in front of him, Lei Xiao walked straight in surrounded by his subordinates.
Accompanied by a dazzling gray light flashed.
Wait until Lei Xiao's vision becomes clear again.
He was already in a gray forest.
"Are you back? This random portal is a bit interesting."
Looking at the still magnificent and unpredictable underwater scenery above his head, Lei Xiao stepped onto the giant white wolf and said to the subordinates beside him: "Okay, let's go directly to suppress this dimensional storm."
"As you command! Lord!"
On the other side, all the subordinates responded in unison.
Under Hong Ye's guidance, it didn't take long.
Lei Xiao and the other main subordinates have arrived at a very special area.
Turning over and getting off the wolf, Lei Xiao noticed in surprise.
In this circular space of approximately one hundred square meters, the wind was gentle and the sun was bright. Lei Xiao, who had just adapted to the dark environment, couldn't help but feel dazzled.
The thick black fog around it was like hitting an invisible wall, making it impossible to enter this area at all.
"Lord, this is the eye of the dimensional storm."
Just when Lei Xiao saw this, Hong Ye on the side bowed slightly and introduced.
"Being at the center of the dimensional storm, is it the calmest?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and in surprise, his eyes finally focused on the center of the eye of the storm.
There, a gray energy ball about one meter in diameter was suspended, tumbling and rotating rapidly.
And, it can be clearly seen with the naked eye.
The space around this energy ball is blurry and illusory, and is obviously in an extremely unstable state.
It seems possible at any time to tear apart the normal space and release a void space that can swallow up some.
All in all, this medium-sized gray energy ball gives people a very dangerous feeling.
"Lord, that gray energy ball is the core of the dimensional storm. As long as it is completely suppressed, this dimensional storm that has not yet formed a large scale can be ended."
On the other side, Hong Ye's sassy voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
"I understand, let's end this."
Nodding towards the dragon woman, Lei Xiao and the other main subordinates all took a few steps back.
"As you command, Lord."
Hongye, on the other hand, took a careless step and came straight to the gray energy ball suspended in mid-air.
