The business that Lei Xiao was talking about was naturally about the whereabouts of City Lord Hod and how his group should leave this place of divine scrolls.
Needless to say, the divine servant named Lian in front of him is undoubtedly the key to unlocking all this.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao first nodded to the eager-looking siblings Lixia and Reese.
Afterwards, he briefly described the purpose of his party's visit to the other party.
"I see. Is the purpose of your trip here to find the human city lord who was sucked into this place alone some time ago?"
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Lian responded without hesitation: "More than a week ago, due to the disrepair and lack of maintenance at the entrance to the barrier, a rather rich energy rarely appeared.
The fluctuations indeed attracted a human named Marquis Hod who claimed to be the Lord of Gelin City."
After a pause, Lian added: "After the Marquis of Hod learned that the little girl was a divine attendant, although he didn't know the meaning, he was still polite to the little girl and was a good and good person."
"Then where is he now?"
Hearing this, Li Xia's eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward and asked.
"He is now unconscious due to injuries and is resting in a medical center in the city."
A look of embarrassment appeared on Lian's pretty face, and he responded: "It's all my fault, because of my negligence, I caused him unnecessary harm."
"Father is injured? What is going on?"
Hearing the sound, siblings Lisha and Reese suddenly showed uncontrollable worried looks, and both said in unison.
"Lian, please take us to see him."
Instructing the two of them not to be nervous, Lei Xiao immediately spoke to the female doll not far away.
"Okay, everyone, please follow my daughter this way."
After saying that, Lian hurriedly took his own steps.
Just like that, under the guidance of Lian.
It didn't take long for the group of people to arrive at a temple-shaped building that was quite similar to the Bright Healing Center.
Under the bright sunshine, I saw a row of pure white columns engraved with beautiful textures on the exterior wall of the building, exuding a holy brilliance and making people feel sacred.
In the process, Lei Xiao learned more.
When Marquis Hod discovered that this was a barrier area, he eagerly asked Lian how to leave here. As the lord of a city, he naturally knew the consequences and seriousness of his inexplicable disappearance.
However, just like what Lian said before.
Because the center of the barrier in this sacred scroll land, or the formation eye crystal at the location of the formation eye, has been in disrepair for a long time, it has lost a large part of its magic power, and it is impossible to open the space passage from the inside.
Moreover, no one can repair these eye crystals except her maker, Father God.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly impossible to leave this barrier area.
"In other words, as long as you enter this barrier area, you can't leave again? This is simply equivalent to unintentionally buying a one-way ticket with no return."
Realizing this, Lei Xiao frowned and continued to think: "However, since those eye crystals have lost their magic power over time, maybe my golden finger can restore them."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel relieved again.
"And when the little girl told Marquis Hod all this truthfully, the other party insisted on going to the formation's eye position to take a look."
On the other side, Lian, who was walking at the front, gently pushed open the door of the temple-shaped building in front of him.
While continuing: "In the end, the little girl couldn't be stubborn and had to take him to the center of the barrier. As a result, because the little girl was not paying attention, Marquis Hod accidentally touched a magic circle and was injured by the energy flow.
.”
"So that's how it is... My father must have been very worried when he knew that we were alone and weak, which is why this was the result."
Lixia lowered her eyebrows, the worry in her starry eyes was palpable, and murmured softly to herself, while Reese on the side also had the same expression.
"It's all because of my daughter's negligence. Please forgive me..."
Feeling the sadness of the siblings, Lian, who had just walked into a bright hall, quickly began to apologize again.
I saw her looking like a child who had done something wrong, feeling guilty and at a loss for words.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao looked at each other one after another with Huzhang and Hongye.
Judging from the current situation, there are no flaws in the other party's words. It doesn't seem like he is hiding something from himself. Moreover, if he wants to leave here, he still needs the other party's guidance.
Therefore, the best way to act now is to raise your vigilance to the highest level, remain unchanged in response to changes, and wait for opportunities to observe and react.
After a while, under the guidance of the other party, the group arrived at a spacious room.
This is a large bedroom. The bright sunlight passes through the gaps in the pure white withered curtains and shines directly on the equally pure white and smooth marble floor, reflecting dazzling spots.
It also reflects the exquisite mountains, rivers and beautiful water engraved on the wall next to it, giving it a bit more three-dimensionality and agility, making it feel like you are immersed in the scene.
All in all, the overall style of this room is still simple and simple, but it also reveals the richness of art and grandeur, which makes people marvel.
In the center of the room, there was a single bed, and you could vaguely see a pale middle-aged man lying on it.
"Father!"
Seeing this scene, sister and brother Lisha and Reese both had red eyes and rushed over together.
When he got closer, Lei Xiao noticed further.
This middle-aged man is probably in his early fifties. His eyes are closed and his breathing is weak. Although his face looks extremely pale, there is a perseverance between his eyebrows, and he looks like a middle-aged sportsman.
.
"Is this Lord Hod?"
Looking at the two Richards who were guarding the bed, looking worried, Lei Xiao murmured to himself.
"Sorry, Your Excellency, there is no magic potion reserve in this place of divine scrolls."
Shaking his head helplessly at Lei Xiao, Lian said: "Originally, there is a statue of God Father on the square where you all first appeared. As long as we stand there and pray for God Father's mercy, we can recover from all injuries.
, but for some reason, it’s empty there now.”
Sighing softly, Lian lowered his head and said, like a child who had done something wrong, "Therefore, the little girl can only use the ordinary herbs she grew in her spare time to treat Marquis Hod's injuries."
"It's okay. You did a good job. Leave the rest to me."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao then nodded to Ye Cang and Ju Bai beside him.
On the other side, two senior fourth-level experts in the healing department, one black and one white, understood and immediately began to take action.
Next, with one after another, energy waves filled with the power of life rippled out.
The entire sunny room became much warmer, giving people a feeling of spring breeze.
After Ye Cang and Ju Bai's full treatment, and after Lei Xiao gave a third-level magic potion specially designed to treat magic damage.
Marquis Hodder's originally pale and tough face became obviously much rosier, and his weak breathing gradually became stronger.
After a while, with the unremitting efforts of two powerful healing experts on our side, the Lord of Gelin City, who had been in a coma for a week, finally slowly opened his eyes.
"...Risha, Reese, why are you here?"
A weak and incomprehensible middle-aged voice sounded. As soon as he opened his eyes, Lord Hod said in surprise: "I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"Father, you finally woke up!"
Directly opposite, Lixia, who had been waiting by the bed, immediately held Huo De's big hand and cried with joy: "It's really great!"
Reese on the side also had the same look, and was so happy that he was speechless.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
At this point, the main goal of my trip has been successfully achieved.
"Your Highness Princess?!"
After regaining some energy, Hodder saw Ariel beside him, his expression of surprise was clear, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Why are you here?!"
After that, Hodder struggled to sit up and prepared to get out of bed to salute. As a nobleman who upholds the spirit of chivalry, he always regards humility as his first rule of action.
What's more, what he is facing now is the pinnacle of power in this land, Her Royal Highness the Princess from the Leng Yan Royal Family.
"Qing Huo De, there is no need to salute."
On the other side, Ariel quickly waved her hand to stop the other party's actions, and said: "The situation is special now, it is important to take care of yourself."
"As you command! Your Highness Princess!"
Hearing the sound, Hodder lay down again under the service of Lixia and Reese.
"Father, it is Your Highness the Princess and Your Excellency the guest who brought us here to look for you regardless of the danger..."
Looking at Hod's still puzzled eyes, Lixia briefly told what happened during the time when Hod was missing, as well as the arrival of Lei Xiao and his group.
Of course, since Lei Xiao does not have a fourth-level recruitment order for the time being, the one who takes charge of all this naturally falls on Ariel.
"So that's how it is... How can I, Hode, be able to make powerful people such as Her Royal Highness the Princess and Your Excellency Ke Qing risk my life like this?"
After listening to Lisha's description, a look of gratitude suddenly appeared on Hod's resolute face, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
As the lord of a city, he naturally understands clearly.
If he can really get out successfully, the actions of Her Royal Highness the Princess and His Excellency Keqing will not only save his life and his position as city lord, but also save his children!
For such a kindness, Huo De couldn't think of any other way to repay him other than to follow Her Royal Highness the Princess to the death.
Looking at Huo De's grateful expression, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
At present, he has subdued the brothers and sisters of Lisaris. Through reading, he can command and learn the latest news of Gelin City anytime and anywhere.
Therefore, if Hodder swears allegiance to Ariel, it is no different from being loyal to himself.
After all, the Kingdom of Cold Flame has a vast territory and many cities. As it expands its territory step by step, it is impossible for me to have the energy to contact the city lords of every city in the future.
This is also his original intention to support Ariel to ascend the throne of Lengyan. As long as he controls the Queen of Lengyan, he will naturally control the entire Lengyan Kingdom.
"Okay, Your Excellency Lord Hod City, Your Highness the Princess and I have to find a way to leave here, so I'll excuse you for the time being."
After finishing speaking, after leaving behind the Lisharis siblings, Lei Xiao and his group temporarily left the room with Lian.
Of course, just in case, while leaving, Lei Xiao connected with Richardis's words, so that if an accident happened to the two of them, he would be able to notice it immediately.
Returning to the bright hall just now, he looked at the fair-skinned Ariel and couldn't help but said: "You are indeed not ordinary people. I haven't seen a princess in three thousand years."
She tilted her head and thought for a while, her long eyelashes flickered, and then said: "Although the memory has been almost completely taken away, the little girl still vaguely remembers that before the accident happened, the last person who came here was a light elf.
Where is Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
Having said this, Lian's eyes fell on Lei Xiao again, and he asked doubtfully: "Your Excellency, you seem to be more powerful than the princess. Are you the current king of the outside world?"
"I was once just an insignificant ordinary person."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao answered something strange and asked: "Okay, please take us to the barrier center you just mentioned."
"Your Excellency, my daughter has just said that unless her great father is here, no one can charge the formation eye crystal."
Shaking his head helplessly, Lian looked at Lei Xiao with a puzzled look on his face and said, "If that's the case, then why are you still doing some useless work? Why don't you think about how to settle down here? It's impossible for you to get out.
of."
"not necessarily."
Lei Xiao continued to smile and said calmly: "Maybe, I can do something that ordinary people can't do."
"Sir, you are really an eccentric and stubborn person."
He tilted his head again, blinked his pitiful eyes, stared at Lei Xiao for a long time, and then said with a face full of confusion: "That's all, then I will just take you to have a look, so that you can thoroughly understand the situation."
This idea is dead."
Having said this, Lian shrugged slightly and walked to the front of the team again.
Just like that, I walked out of the building, this time under Lian's guidance.
Lei Xiao and his group crossed the huge square at the beginning and went straight to the other side of the city.
After walking for about ten minutes on the desolate and empty street, a two-story pure white building that looked the same as the surroundings appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
"Is this the center of the barrier area?"
Looking at this ordinary residential building with an area of only a hundred square meters at most, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a look of doubt on his face.
