Chapter 548: broken fountain

"Remember that it was just a month after the city was besieged."

I saw Old Xiao Er's old eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "At that time, the panic and anxiety that permeated the streets were still very strong. Fortunately, the city's reserves were extremely abundant, so there was no need to worry about the food problem, plus the protection of the absolute defense enchantment. , so that everything in the city is fairly stable."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Old Xiao Er continued: "On a starry night, when the curfew just started, the old man was called to the royal castle by the royal herald.

There, the old man learned a secret, that is, just in case, the royal family decided to transfer the most precious secret treasure to the center of the royal capital, the newly built underground square, and the old man was the captain of the **** team. , to assist. "

"Move to the square in the center of the city? It was an unexpected decision."

Hearing the sound, a look of surprise appeared on Lei Xiao's face.

"Yes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Now it seems that the decision of the royal family at that time was indeed correct. Unfortunately, the Loren Kingdom still failed to escape the fate of destruction."

With a light sigh, a look of disappointment appeared on Old Xiao Er's aged face.

Immediately afterwards, he regained his spirits and continued: "Since the secret treasures are all transported by members of the royal family using large-capacity storage rings, the guards led by the old man also dressed up as ordinary night patrols. So, it went very smoothly and nothing went wrong.”

After a pause, Old Shaw said again: "Also, the surrounding area of ​​the square has secretly increased its vigilance power several times. Therefore, the secret treasures were easily transferred to the underground square in the center of the city in batches. "

"Excuse me, old man, where exactly is that?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up and he asked.

"It's in the central square of the city, right below the giant horse fountain, about a kilometer away from here, and the direction is on the side close to the mountains."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Old Xiao said without reservation.

"Understood, it's no wonder that the opponents at the time didn't find the real location of the treasure. No one would have thought that the Loren royal family would actually hide their secret treasure under the public square in the city center."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Your Excellency is right."

With a slight smile, Old Shaw added: "After all this is completed, just in case, we also covered a layer of insulating ore barrier that can greatly weaken detection magic, just in case. layer, it adds an excellent barrier.”

Speaking of this, Old Xiao's expression became a little weird again, and he said embarrassingly: "Your Excellency, then again, even if you know the location of the treasure, it is not easy to obtain the secret treasure. matter."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Looking at the embarrassed old Xiao Er, Lei Xiao said puzzled.

"To tell the truth, for a period of time after that, the old man was still ordered to lead the **** to patrol here every night."

Looking at Lei Xiao's puzzled eyes, Old Xiao Er continued: "In the beginning, the old man didn't know the reason for the royal family's arrangement, and it wasn't until later that he found out.

It turned out that the royal family also secretly dispatched a highly respected court magician at the time to lead all the top court magicians at the top, and arranged a special magic prohibition with eight extremely rare magic prohibition crystals as a guide. "

"A special magic ban?"

Frowning slightly, Lei Xiao wondered.

"Yes, there is only one key to this kind of five-level magic ban, and that is the members of the Loren royal family who are flowing with the blood of the Loren royal family. Other than that, no one can unlock it."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Old Xiao Er responded: "And if you try to forcibly break it, it will activate the magic circle of chain traps inside the magic ban, causing all the secret treasures in it to burn."

"So that's how it is..."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and muttered to himself: "So, the best way to obtain this lost treasure is to find the descendants of the Loren royal family who have the blood of the Loren royal family? "

"Your Excellency is right, but when the royal capital was destroyed, it was still unknown whether anyone in the royal family was lucky enough to survive. In addition, thousands of years have passed. If you want to find the descendants of the Loren royal family, it is tantamount to A haystack that doesn't know if there is a needle in the sea."

Shaking his head helplessly, Old Shaw said with a wry smile, "Therefore, please don't hold your hopes too high."

"Looking for a needle in a haystack is for sure, but what I can confirm is that the needle in this sea should be in the sea."

I saw Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled mysteriously at the old Xiao Er in front of him.

"What? Your Excellency, do you mean... the descendants of the Loren royal family still exist in the world?"

Hearing the sound, a look of surprise appeared on Old Xiao's old face, and he asked in surprise, "How did your Excellency confirm this?"

"It's like this..."

With a faint smile, Lei Xiao described to Old Xiao Er the incident when he accidentally discovered the Mirage in the forest outside when he first came here.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a thing. Next to the ruins of the royal capital, I met the mirage of the descendants of the royal family..."

After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Old Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then he exclaimed in amazement: "It seems that this royal treasure, which has been lost for thousands of years, seems to be within easy reach of Your Excellency!"

"I hope so, and I always feel that I have seen the girl who is a descendant of the Loren royal family, but I can't remember it. Maybe it's just my illusion."

After speaking, Lei Xiao couldn't help but slightly pouted.

"It's embarrassing that the royal family that once ruled a country has now been reduced to the point where they need to risk their lives to collect medicines in the mountains? It really makes people feel that the world is impermanent."

Shaking his head helplessly, Old Shaw sighed heavily.

"There is nothing static in this world. In my hometown, there is a proverb called Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for thirty years. It is exactly the same."

With a slight smile at Old Xiao Er, Lei Xiao regained his energy and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then we should leave too. I believe we will meet again in the near future."

After a pause, Lei Xiao seemed to remember something, and then said to the burly old man in front of him: "Mr. Xiao Er, has the energy of your pendant been exhausted? Do you need someone to help you replenish it?"

Lei Xiao just said this, Chaoyan, who was full of food and food and was slipping away, couldn't help but tremble. He quickly blinked his big eyes and took a few steps back, hiding behind Bai Wei.

"Thank you for your kindness. Although there is not much energy in the pendant, it is still enough to keep the old man in a deep sleep state. I hope that the next time the old man wakes up, he will be able to see a more powerful Your Excellency."

With a slight wave of his hand, a sad expression appeared on Old Xiao Er's face.

While preparing for the inheritance of the bloodline, he had been alone here for an extremely long period of time. It seemed that he obviously did not want to feel the loneliness bound by petrified shackles.

Immediately afterwards, Old Xiaoer regained his composure and smiled again: "Your Excellency, this distant grandson of the old man is quite savvy, and in a very short period of time, he has completely grasped the essence of what the old man has learned in his life. It must be of great help to you.”

Having said that, Old Xiao looked at Fang Haidao, who was a little reluctant to part with it: "Grandson, remember, the work of a blacksmith is a long way to go, and the forging is not just weapons, but a country or even a race. spine.

Only with constant sharp blades in hand, can this country or this race be invincible and stand proudly on this vast continent where there are thousands of races. "

"The distant grandson will follow the teachings of the ancestors!"

Hearing the sound, Fang Hai immediately touched his chest and bowed in salute. On his old face, there was a look of blood boiling, and he wanted to show his skills in front of the magic furnace.

"Then, Mr. Shaw, let's leave here first."

On the other side, after signaling the knotweed to restore the bluestone platform and the petrified statue to their original positions, and let the two maids, A Ling and A Bing, do some cleaning work in the secret room.

Lei Xiao first nodded at the burly old man, and then led all the subordinates, stepping up the long stairs, all the way up, and left the underground secret room.

After a while, Ye Cang, who was walking at the back of the team, just stepped on the stable ground.

Accompanied by another muffled "bang rumbling".

The tunnel entrance, which was sunken inward in front of him, slowly began to close, and then completely returned to its previous appearance.

"Huzhu, go to the side and get a magic furnace to cover the entrance to this secret room."

Seeing this, Lei Xiao immediately nodded to the burly man in front of him.

In this way, when the knotweed placed the magic furnace, the group followed the path they came from and returned to the sunny forest ruins.

Next, Lei Xiao first directed the subordinates to seal the hole that Hong Ye had penetrated from the ground.

Then, according to the information provided by Old Shaw, he found the central square of the city where the royal treasure was located.

After some observation, Lei Xiao noticed.

The giant horse fountain in the mouth of Old Shaw had already turned into pieces of rubble of different sizes, covered with moss and weeds, and the original appearance could not be seen at all.

Just like the fallen Loren Kingdom, people can't help but sigh.

As for the original square in the center of the city, it has long been covered by the intertwined roots of towering trees and bushes.

"Lord Lord, the subordinates have consciously investigated it just now. Although the energy fluctuations emitted are extremely weak, there is indeed a very good magic restriction underneath."

Just when Lei Xiao saw this place, he saw Hong Ye with a high ponytail walking forward, bowing sassily and reporting.

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao leaned on his chin with one hand and nodded thoughtfully.

"Lord Lord, so we can only find the descendants of the Loren royal family before we can open this magic ban?"

On the other side, Ariel, who was dressed in a strong suit, couldn't help frowning slightly.

After what she saw just now, as a member of the Leng Yan royal family, the current ruler of this land, she was deeply touched.

Especially when she remembered the thin and stubborn mirage girl she saw at the beginning, she couldn't help but be deeply shocked.

As you can imagine, if you don't meet the lord.

According to the current chaotic situation of internal and external troubles, if it continues to develop, it may not be long before such a thing will happen to the descendants of the Leng Yan royal family.

And now, with the help of Lord Lord, her dream of letting all the people of Lengyan Kingdom live and work in peace and contentment is slowly coming true!

Thinking of this, Ariel's star eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but cast an even more respectful look at Lei Xiao.

"Exactly."

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao immediately responded: "However, from another point of view, this is not a bad thing, at least we know the mystery of the magic prohibition first, otherwise, if we directly break it, I am afraid things will happen. It is impossible to recover.”

"Lord Lord is right. Although this kind of practice of burning jade and stone is very rare, it does exist, especially in this treasure trove."

I saw Hong Ye put her hands on her hips and said with a frown.

Immediately afterwards, Hong Ye bowed to Lei Xiao again and said: "However, Lord Lord, in addition to your subordinates, if there is a fifth-order magic powerhouse present, your subordinates can completely avoid this situation from happening. already."

"That is to say~www.readwn.com~ If we want the treasures to be unscathed to open this magic ban, either we need to find the descendants of the Loren royal family, or there is another powerful fifth-order in our team. A magic powerhouse?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, the first thing that Lei Xiao thought of in his mind was Jiang Hao, the ancestor of the half-elf.

"This guy has been out for a while, but there is still no news, and I can't get in touch with him. I think there should be news soon, right? With her elusive space magic, coupled with the blessed invisibility cloak, I just want to It's hard to do anything."

"Moreover, after she woke up from her deep sleep, she has already appeared on the personnel list in the column of my subordinate tribe, the Yuebai tribe, and is currently in a state of survival."

"It is worth mentioning that before Jiang Hao appeared, there was already an item on the Yuebai Clan's personnel list, and it was not replaced by her attribute until she appeared, and the Xueyu Clan That didn't happen.”

Reluctantly curled his lips, Lei Xiao continued to think: "However, since she has no news all the time, there must be something to delay her, right?"
