Chapter 520: hidden storm
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne and ordered to the subordinates: "Okay, everything in the territory is as usual, the other main subordinates, get ready to go, we will go to the dimensional storm in a while. Explore."
"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"
Hearing the sound, all the subordinates in the next position bowed in unison and said in unison.
Next, Lei Xiao passed the spiral staircase at the back of the hall, all the way up, 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 party.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao contacted Kelly in Fanyin City and instructed her to contact the strong men of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Group in advance, so as to prepare the ground for him to negotiate specific employment matters.
Before that, Lei Xiao already knew.
The powerhouses of these dragon-tooth mercenary groups had their employment contracts with City Lord Or, which expired the day before yesterday, and are currently in a period of no quests.
So, there will not be any conflict about the contract.
Just after Lei Xiao arranged everything properly.
An extremely impressive momentum, carrying a ferocious astral wind, suddenly swept in from the half-open door.
It caused the fluff on the red velvet carpet in the middle of the office, which the old housekeeper Ward had arranged before, to tremble slightly.
"Good guy, from the perspective of breath, Ariel has successfully advanced."
Lei Xiao just thought of this.
A slender and slender figure had already appeared at the door. While knocking on the half-opened door, he poked his fair and delicate cheeks in.
This person is none other than Ariel who is ecstatic.
"come in."
Looking at Leng Yan's youngest princess who couldn't help but smile at the door, Lei Xiao smiled lightly.
"Yes, Lord!"
Gently pushing the door open, Ariel didn't hesitate, knelt down on one knee and bowed to Lei Xiao: "This subordinate has lived up to the Lord's expectations and has successfully advanced to the fourth tier!"
At this moment, the joy on Ariel's face was beyond words.
You know, for ordinary powerhouses with good talent.
The poor practiced hard all his life, and being able to advance to the third-tier powerhouse with one enemy against one hundred in his lifetime is already equal to the peak of his life, enough to be respected and looked up to by the vast majority of people.
And the fourth-order powerhouse, who is one enemy thousand, is the existence of all third-order powerhouses that can only be looked up to, which is evident!
A fourth-order powerhouse is enough to change the fate of the entire family by himself!
A fourth-tier powerhouse from a commoner, as long as he accepts the royal conscription, can suddenly become an upper-class noble with a fief.
And the fourth-order powerhouses who were born in the low-level aristocracy were able to jump several levels in a row because of this, and they inherited the title of nobility, which was praised and respected by countless descendants.
Of course, for Ariel, who is already the Cold Flame Royal Family, these are naturally irrelevant.
Most importantly, start from this moment.
She has already stood on the same level of strength as her three brothers, and has truly achieved an equal footing with the other party!
"With the help of Lord Lord, now I am no longer the weak princess who was trampled and assassinated!"
Thinking of this, Ariel took a deep breath, her star eyes shone brightly.
On the other hand, Lei Xiao had already opened Ariel's attribute bar.
【Name: Ariel】
[Occupation: Great Mage of Light]
[Class: fourth-order one star]
【Loyalty: 100】

[Skill 3: Brilliant Stigmata "Active" (light attribute detection magic, able to discover hidden treasures, magic organs and magic secret rooms)]
[Skill 4: Light Attribute Magic Mastery "Passive" (when using Light Attribute Magic, moderate damage is increased)]
"Yes, have you mastered a wide-area skill with a larger killing range?"
After closing Ariel's attribute column, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
This undoubtedly means that after Ye Cang, Chaoyan, Nanxing, Nanyue, Jubai, Bert, and Xueya, his subordinates already have the eighth tier-4 powerhouse that can defeat a thousand by one person!
"My strong team is really getting stronger and stronger!"
After leaning down to lift Ariel up, Lei Xiao couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao briefly described to Ariel his own analysis of the dimensional storm just now.
"I didn't expect a dimensional storm to occur in the Songyin Mountains..."
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Ariel's pale face suddenly showed a thoughtful look.
"and also?"
Keenly aware of the unusualness in Ariel's words, Lei Xiao's brows could not help but wrinkle slightly.
"To be honest with the lord, a hundred years ago, starting from the generation of the Lengyan King, my grandfather, every few years, there will be a dimensional storm around Lengyan."
She nodded solemnly at Lei Xiao, and Ariel continued: "In the beginning, due to the power of the dimensional storm, it was too terrifying, and often caused a city to vanish into nothingness, with 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 in addition to the members of the royal family and the few survivors who were required to keep it strictly confidential, even the generals of the kingdoms and noble families of all dynasties, There is no way to understand. "
I saw Ariel took a deep breath and said: "Also, starting from the subordinate father's ascension to the throne, the interval between each dimensional storm also tends to shorten significantly.
However, most of the previous dimensional storms occurred in barren towns in the border regions. I didn't expect that this time, it happened directly in the hinterland of the Songyin Mountains. "
"It turns out that this is the case. Is there a tendency for the interval between the occurrence of the dimensional storm to gradually shorten?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Analyze the current situation.
In the initial stage of the dimensional storm, the random portal formed is likely to point to a hidden treasure cave.
I am afraid that the Leng Yan royal family at that time, in addition to avoiding panic, there are also reasons for wanting to take the treasure as their own.
After all, according to Hong Ye, these random portals will lead directly to nearby energy-rich areas.
And the hidden treasure cave with the protection of magic prohibition just meets this requirement.
Therefore, just like this time, the random portal that can lead to the location of the treasure is obviously not an exception.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao regained his composure, and then set his eyes on Ariel's white and translucent cheeks in front of him, and said, "If this is the case, then the royal family must have some means of detection and resolution. Bar?"
"Returning to Lord Lord, that's exactly what happened. From the generation of the subordinates, the father and the king, most of the dimensional storms have been secretly suppressed by Uncle Wu before they have been completely formed, so that many Leng Yan people are exempt from in the wake of a catastrophe."
Nodding to Lei Xiao, Ariel's face could not help showing a proud look, and continued: "Don't hide it from the lord, not long after the subordinate father ascended the throne, he established a secret monitoring agency, specializing in Detect whether there is a possibility of a dimensional storm in various places of Cold Flame.
The reason why the subordinates know so much is because the subordinates, as the supervising members of the royal family, have also stayed in this secret monitoring agency for a period of time. "
Speaking of this, Ariel's slender eyebrows lowered again, shook her head and said, "Unfortunately, after the father became seriously ill, these secret institutions did not have the support of the father, and most of them were forced to disband, losing the The ability to monitor dimensional storms."
"Understood."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Since your father is no longer able to protect the people of Leng Yan, then this time, let us do it."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao added: "Of course, it's also for the treasures in it, and the comatose friendly world lord."
"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"
On the other side, I saw Ariel looked happy, and hurriedly bowed again and responded.
At this time, in Ariel's eyes, the splendid sunlight projected by the window, shrouded Lei Xiao, exudes a faint golden halo around him, and looks extraordinarily tall and straight.
Next, Lei Xiao immediately recited the words.
The ten subordinates, including the knotweed, 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. to transmit.
Since Nanxing Nanyue was injured, Lei Xiao did not let the twin sisters participate in this operation, but only ordered them to rest and sit in the territory.
After a moment of effort, looking at the ten main subordinates who were surrounded by him, holding a teleportation crystal, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then said: "Let's go! The area near the dimensional storm in the Songyin Mountains!"
After speaking, Lei Xiao directly crushed the teleportation crystal in his hand.
The next second, a light gray strange energy immediately enveloped everyone on the side.
A minute passed in a blink of an eye.
When Lei Xiao, who felt that his body was instantly light, once again had a sense of fulfillment with his feet on the ground.
He has come to a place, located in the mountain territory under the cliff.
Surrounded by all the subordinates beside him, Lei Xiao looked around and noticed.
Since this territory is backed by a mountain wall, it has a natural defensive wall.
Therefore, the outer single-storey residential houses and utility rooms were built into a semi-circular structure, and the wooden lord's mansion, which was still at level 3, was wrapped in the center.
In addition, a few vine-filled trees on the periphery of the territory have been transformed into simple watchtowers, which seem to be arranged in a well-organized manner.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao retracted his gaze and focused his attention on Pan Zhi, the unsung male lord who had explored the ship of time-honored together in front of him.
On the other side, he was wearing a rough cut-sleeve animal skin top, paired with a pair of linen trousers, plus his long untreated messy hair and tanned skin.
At first glance, it looks like a thin hunter, obviously darker than last time.
However, judging from the dried skewers of dried meat in its territory, the cleaned demonic beast fur, and the lush green fields planted on it, it shows that it is doing quite well.
And behind him, there are still two slaves who look like guards.
The one on the left was wearing a tattered bucket helmet with pits and a shiny silver armor top. It was the first-order armor that Lei Xiao gave Qin Qian to distribute.
The one on the right is wearing a helmet that matches the armor, a copper-colored chainmail that is somewhat rusted on his body, and his limbs are still the wrist 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 perceive it.
The two relatively strong subordinates on the other side are all about the strength of the first-order six-star, which is also considered a good combat power for ordinary lords.
However, these are not the main ones.
Just when he came here, Lei Xiao could clearly feel it.
The surrounding air is indeed a little thin, and a turbulent flow of violent energy is rippling back and forth.
"Master Xiaoshen, you are here!"
On the other side, Pan Zhi immediately greeted him and said with a worried look: "Please come with me!"
In this way, under the guidance of Pan Zhi.
After bypassing the mountain peaks that this territory was backed by, when Lei Xiao stood on a hill with a wide field of vision not far away, everything in front of him suddenly became clear.
I saw a vast area of about one kilometer ahead, all covered by a thick layer of black fog.
Electric lights flickered in the black mist, and there was a faint rumbling of thunder, and the whole scene looked quite shocking.
The amazing thing is that the sky above the black fog is still clear, which makes people wonder.
"Lord Lord, all this is really a dimensional storm."
Just when Lei Xiao saw this ~www.readwn.com~, Hong Ye took a step forward and bowed slightly: "Also, it's just the initial stage of formation."
Hearing this, Ariel also nodded in agreement.
"Master Xiaoshen, those black mists won't spread here."
Seeing Pan Zhi standing at the back, he swallowed his spit involuntarily and said worriedly.
For him, the terrifying scene in front of him was like a judgment at the end of the day, making people tremble uncontrollably.
"Don't worry, as long as I am here, everything will be solved."
Facing Pan Zhi with a faint smile, Lei Xiao's heart moved, and he handed two first-order physical strengthening pills that permanently improved his strength to the other party, and then said: "This is regarded as a reward for you to provide important information. Next, Just leave it to me."
After the words were finished, under Pan Zhi's dull gaze.
Lei Xiao and his party all flashed, and at the same time as a gust of wind was brought up, they disappeared in place in an instant.
