Chapter 709 The Dream of a Level 5 Powerful Man (Part 1)
Walking in this strange village full of round low-rise houses, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a hint of curiosity on his face.
Lei Xiao already knew this through his previous interactions with his subordinates.
Whether it is the main powerhouse summoned individually, the elite squadron summoned in groups, or the most ordinary farmers, they all used some special reasons as an opportunity to make up their minds and choose to sign a contract with themselves, and were finally teleported to the territory.
.
Among them, Chaoyan, whose parents were missing, returned to a home full of spider webs after graduating from the Magic Tower. She looked desolate and felt empty in her heart, so she chose to accept the summons because it was too much.
In my haste, I forgot my ancestral second-level staff.
As for the sisters Nan Xing and Nan Yue, after graduating from the Assassin Academy, due to their outstanding talents, they were immediately recruited by the royal family in their area.
But because it was a power center that was rotten to the core, Nanxing Nanyue refused the generous offer offered by the other party, and was hunted down. However, they were unwilling to attack their former classmates and instructors, so they had no choice but to accept the call.
Completely escaped that place of right and wrong.
Ye Cang is the last dark healer on his continent and has been responsible for guarding the Black Light Temple, the base camp of the dark healers.
As a result, because the temple was too old, it collapsed unexpectedly, and he lost his place of residence, so he accepted the summons in despair.
In addition to the main group of powerful men, Sean and other pterodactyl knights team had no choice but to leave because the new Grand Duke who was originally loyal to the principality killed the Sky Pterodactyl indiscriminately. They couldn't bear to see their mount companions narrowly escaped being killed.
Rudy and other chefs and Ward and other servants were originally loyal to a down-and-out royal family. However, after the new king took office, he actually chose to become a monk and entered the monastery in Linguo to practice hard. Even the only three cities and property servants
, were also donated to Linguo. In desperation, Rudy and others could only choose to leave sadly.
Because their families had suffered tragic accidents in previous wars, and the culprit was the tyrant of Lin's country.
As for the three squadrons of magicians summoned by Lei Xiao, it goes without saying that they all came from the magic tower where Chaoyan was located.
The other elite squadrons also chose to accept the call collectively due to various complex reasons such as their countries being annexed, surrendered, or destroyed.
It is worth mentioning that before accepting the call, all the subordinates were as if they had received divine revelation. They had sensed it in advance and understood all the contents of the master-servant contract before accepting the call.
Moreover, apart from understanding the master-servant contract, the slaves do not know who they are about to be loyal to, nor what territory they are going to. It is like opening a blind box, except that the content in the blind box is their own.
s future.
"Among the many subordinates I have summoned, the most mysterious one is naturally the first subordinate, Tiger Stick, who is also a fifth-level warrior at the national level."
Looking at the scattered round houses around him, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
I only have a superficial understanding of the origin of Polygonum cuspidatum.
Hu Zhi was born in a kingdom called "The Kingdom of Dragonfall". His father was a famous dragon-slaying warrior in the kingdom. He was once worshiped by thousands of people. At the same time, he was also the most respected and admired person in Hu Zhi.
However, due to an accident, the whereabouts of Huzhang's father and his accompanying sword, the Dragon-Slaying Sword, were missing.
This was the reason why that night, when he took out the unexpectedly upgraded Dragon-Slaying Sword, the excited expression on the tiger stick's face and his determination to swear allegiance to the death.
As for other past events before the summons, Huzhang didn't say much, and he didn't ask too much.
Now that Polygonum cuspidatum has chosen to accept the call and become his subordinate, what he and Polygonum cuspidatum have to face is the journey ahead, so just look forward to everything.
Then again, I am indeed very curious about Knotweed's past.
After all, according to common sense, a fifth-level strongman at the level of a country can easily climb up the power pyramid in a country he is familiar with, live a luxurious life that is unimaginable to ordinary people, and can easily achieve both fame and fortune, and be favored by others.
Thousands of people worshiped.
And if you choose to accept the call, you will undoubtedly face a fog-like and extremely uncertain future, or in other words, everything will start from scratch.
"What exactly happened that made Knotweed abandon the familiar past and choose an unfamiliar future?"
Thinking of this, the curiosity on Lei Xiao's face became more and more obvious, and he murmured in his heart: "Since this illusion called "Dream Devouring Realm" can show the most vulnerable side of people's hearts, then it must be
You’ll find the answer to things here, right?”
After thinking about it, Lei Xiao and Jin Wen had already walked to the pure white temple where Lian had been rescued before.
Looking at the exquisite temple in front of him that was incompatible with the surrounding simple village scene, Lei Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
It is worthy of being a building in the land of gods. The closer you get, the more you feel an inexplicable sense of sacredness from the bottom of your heart. It also makes your nervous mood instantly relax a lot.
On the side, Jin Wen's eyes were also attracted by the temple in front of him. He rubbed his white chin and praised: "This is the first time I have seen such a perfect ancient temple. Whether it is the extremely beautiful architectural style of the temple or the carvings on the wall,
Their artistic attainments are so miraculous that it’s hard to take your eyes away.”
Seeing Jin Wen's lingering look, he couldn't help but wonder: "Your Excellency, guest, is it possible that Lian, like me, is also an archaeological enthusiast who has visited ruins? Otherwise, even in a dream, ordinary people would never be able to
It depicts such a perfect building.”
"Lian's identity is far more bizarre than you imagine. As for this building, it does indeed exist."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and responded casually: "Now is not the time to discuss these. If we can successfully overcome this difficulty, when the time is right, I will show you that in addition to the winged human race enchantment area, there are even more magnificent areas.
And the incredible ancient ruins, where you will find all the answers to what you are curious about now."
Needless to say, what Lei Xiao was referring to was naturally the land of the gods in Gelin City.
When he was in the Land of the Gods, Lei Xiao once heard the shocked Ariel and others describe it.
This legendary place known as the Foyer of God's Realm only exists in a handful of historical documents and has never been confirmed. It is also the ultimate holy place that countless archaeologists dream of.
"If Jin Wen, who is an avid archeology enthusiast, were to see such a scene, he would probably faint from excitement, right?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao regained his composure and said seriously: "Now, you and I should focus on finding the knotweed."
"Your Excellency, Ke Qing, is right. I just forgot a little bit."
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, a trace of solemnity also appeared on Jin Wen's fair face, and he nodded and said: "When I first entered the illusion, I only stopped here, but I can vaguely feel it.
Come, there is an unusual smell ahead, please follow this way."
After finishing speaking, Jin Wen glanced at the pure white temple in front of him with some reluctance, then completely suppressed his curiosity and walked at the front again.
As Lei Xiao and Jin Wen continued to move forward, the scene around them became increasingly rich.
In addition to the round house, dried meat, grains and other food around the house, as well as flowers, plants and trees, began to gradually appear, and various human figures began to gradually change from illusion to solidity.
At a glance, the smoke rising from the rooftops, the mingling figures of villagers returning from their busy farming days, and the occasional barking of dogs and roosters, make it look like a real village.
Lei Xiao could even smell the fresh air and the faint sweet aroma of toasted bread.
However, the gray-black sky above his head always reminds Lei Xiao that this place is not a peaceful reality, but an illusion full of danger.
Moreover, Lei Xiao also discovered that, just like the previous scenes in the mirage, these phantoms were unable to interact with himself and Jin Wen. They were completely two different intersections, including the buildings, plants and trees here.
"Your Excellency, you are right in front."
Jin Wen on the side pointed to a large round house in front of him and said, "That's where the abnormal aura is."
When he got closer, Lei Xiao noticed.
Located in the center of the village, the large round house should be the residence of the village chief or elders.
At this moment, a series of noisy voices came from the slightly open door of the large round house.
Since Lei Xiao could not push open the phantom wooden door, he could only look inside through the crack in the door.
In the round house, a dozen figures in villagers' costumes formed a semicircle and were pointing at an extremely burly figure in the middle.
The disgusted faces and fierce words were like a trial of heretics going on.
"Ever since the father and son came to our Jinglong Village, the children in the village no longer dare to go out to play! That silly big man always exudes a terrifying aura!"
"That's right, and this guy's hands are stained with the blood of the Dragon Clan. It sounds unsettling in the dormitory! Once the Dragon King turns up the old score, I'm afraid the whole village will suffer!"
"That's right, let them get out of the village! They are not welcome here!"
…
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao's eyes focused on the burly man in the middle.
From where Lei Xiao was, he could clearly see the big man's profile.
I saw that he was at least two and three meters tall, extremely tall and burly, with a resolute face and a thick curly beard, which made him look rough and powerful.
"Knotweed?"
After seeing the other party's face clearly, Lei Xiao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
Even though this man is almost carved from the same mold as Knotweed, judging from his graying beard and sideburns, he is obviously much older than Knotweed.
"So, is this the father of Knotweed?"
Looking at the burly man with his head bowed and silent, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
It is not difficult to hear this from the denunciation of the villagers just now.
The people here are obviously extremely resistant to the father of Polygonum cuspidatum and the Polygonum cuspidatum himself, and even want to drive them out of the village.
"Huzhang once said that his father was a fifth-level peak powerhouse and a legendary dragon-slaying warrior who eliminated harm for the people. This can also be supported by the attribute description of the Dragon-Slaying Sword. This kind of
How could a top expert at the level of a country be criticized like this?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's expression became more and more puzzled, and he murmured to himself: "What's more important is that as a fifth-level powerhouse at the national level, how could he live in such a place with his children?"
In a small town in the mountains?”
"Furthermore, from the villagers' buzzing words, it is not difficult to tell that the Dragon Clan seems to be worshiped here very much, and the Dragon King was even mentioned..."
Just when Lei Xiao was confused, Jin Wen's crisp voice rang out from the side: "Your Excellency, Guest Qing, look quickly!"
Hearing Jin Wen's voice, Lei Xiao retracted his gaze from the crack in the door and followed the sound.
I found a tall and tall young man standing under a big tree not far away, looking over here with a worried look on his face.
Although there was still a hint of childishness on the young man's face, Lei Xiao still recognized it at a glance. This was the Japanese knotweed in his youth!
What Lei Xiao expected was that the young tiger stick was at least over 1.9 meters tall, which was already an extremely tall person.
"Your Excellency, guest, this person is indeed the burly fifth-level strong man next to you. However, his appearance has changed due to the illusion. It seems that this is the village where he lived when he was young.
"
The crisp sound of Jinwen reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
"So, as long as we can wake up the knotweed here, everything will be over?"
Lei Xiao's dark eyes lit up, and he immediately walked to the young Hezhuang's side and tried to have a conversation with Hezhuang.
However, the young Huzhang, like the other phantoms, turned a deaf ear to Lei Xiao's words.
However, unlike other phantoms, Lei Xiao can indeed touch the real body of Polygonum Weed.
But even though Lei Xiao violently punched the chest of the tiger stick, the tiger stick still had no reaction and was just immersed in its own world.
"Your Excellency, Guest Minister, this fifth-level strong man named Huzhang has been completely immersed in this illusion. It is impossible to wake him up here."
Jin Wen shook his head helplessly and said to Lei Xiao: "If the "Dream Devouring Realm" is so easy to unlock, it will not be able to easily trap a fifth-level powerhouse."
"It seems I was too impatient."
Lei Xiao rubbed his sore fist, then frowned and said, "Then what should we do next?"
"This is just the surface of the illusion. If you want to successfully awaken the Polygonum cuspidatum, you must go deeper into the illusion to be able to access the subconscious mind of the Polygonum cuspidatum."
Jin Wen nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "It's useless to be anxious now. We just need to wait and see what happens. In this way, we can better understand the nightmare in the knotweed's heart and find a way to open the knot in our heart."
As soon as Jin Wen finished speaking, the scene changed again.
