Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

"Isn't the light from the magic tower gone?"

Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face.

As he learned more about the world, he understood clearly.

The so-called magic tower is a place where magicians are stationed.

Most of the functions of this special building are to supply magic power, and it is usually found in the central location of the magic barrier.

Moreover, the tower is also embedded with various functional magic arrays, such as those that can maximize magic output, speed up magic recovery, etc.

As for the difference between magic enchantment and magic circle, it is quite simple.

Magic barriers are also called composite magic circles.

It itself is composed of multiple or even hundreds of different types of magic arrays, assembled through special connection methods.

Of course, although it sounds simple, every magic barrier can be called a sophisticated magic machine.

Not only is it extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive to build, but also debugging before the official launch and maintenance after operation require a lot of effort.

In addition, magic towers are divided into two types: bright towers and dark towers.

Just like in the literal sense, Mingta is under everyone's nose and can always deter opponents.

The dark tower is in a hidden place, just like the detection magic barrier that is difficult to find. Only when the enemy hits it head-on will they realize that something is wrong.

"From Ju Bai's words, we can learn that this castle located in the center of the fortress was originally covered with an efficient detection barrier, and the center was obviously a bright tower."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao looked up in the direction of Ju Bai's head.

I saw that there was indeed a sharp square tower at the highest point of the entire castle.

Currently, this magic tower looks bleak, and there is no trace of the magician's breath. It does not look like there is anyone inside, rippling out of it.

"The magic tower is the key to the castle's detection barrier. Why should the magicians be removed and the entire barrier stop functioning?"

On the other side, Bert's expression became more solemn, and he asked Augu in a deep voice.

"General Giant Axe, I don't know. According to the latest information obtained by the villain, the elite spies newly recruited by the Holy Night Army have very superb concealment skills. The existing detection barrier in the castle can hardly stop their steps."

I saw Ogu bowing slightly to Bert and responded: "From this, after discussing with many magic consultants in the fortress, the villain decided to strengthen the detection intensity of the current barrier. It is estimated that it will be completed tomorrow."

Having said this, Augu smiled slightly and added: "Of course, because the place where General Bai retreats is very hidden, no one else knows about it except the villain, so it will not be affected by the stoppage of the barrier. .”

"So that's it."

Hearing this, Bert and Jubai looked at each other and stopped talking.

Since the current detection barrier has little effect on the enemy.

Then, if it were them, they would naturally make the same choice.

"If the two generals have no other problems, then please go in with me and rest."

Seeing that the scene had calmed down again, Ogu continued to maintain a smile on his face. While signaling the surrounding Cold Flame soldiers to open the castle door, he bowed to Ariel and said, "Your Highness, please come this way."

"Thank you." Ariel nodded slightly and said calmly.

Next, there was the heavy grinding sound of the giant castle metal door opening.

Lei Xiao, who followed Ariel and the three people into the castle, noticed.

Compared with the heavily guarded outside of the castle, the interior of the castle was obviously much cleaner. Apart from the unarmed servants, there were almost no guards visible.

Just like that, we moved forward along the quaint and spacious corridor.

It didn't take long for Ogu to stop in front of a large living room.

As he welcomed the three Ariel and three of his own people into the room, he said: "Your Highness, please wait here for a moment. I will prepare the information on the recent battle situation and report it later." .”

After finishing speaking, Ogu left a group of soldiers guarding the door of the hall, then gently closed the door and bowed to leave.

After Aogu left, Lei Xiao first vaguely ordered Huzhang and Hongye, who were hidden under the cloak, to check the situation in the room and confirm that there was nothing suspicious.

Then he signaled the knotweed to appear and used his breath to completely isolate the entire hall from the outside world.

In this way, oneself in the room can still perceive the situation of the outside world normally, but the outside world cannot detect one's voice at all.

In addition, the soldiers guarding the door were only at the second level, so naturally they couldn't find any clues.

"Are you a little too cautious? This is my Lengyan's territory."

Seeing this, Ariel, who had just sat down, frowned slightly and couldn't help blurting out.

"My dear Fifth Princess, didn't you notice something unusual?"

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and he immediately took out a set of tea sets and a kettle that he brought with him, and started to make tea by himself under the heat of Chao Yan.

"Abnormal? Are you talking about General Bai?"

Hearing this, a thoughtful look suddenly appeared on Ariel's fair face.

He said thoughtfully: "It is indeed somewhat understandable to choose to advance to the fifth level of power at this time, but as Augu said, if Lao Bai wants to frighten the enemy, it is not impossible. "

"However, if others choose to fight at this time, it may be excusable, but Bai Lao, who is known as the Fortress General, has always been known for his sophistication and stability."

On the other side, the orange-white willow frowned and said, "This is also the main reason why the city he defended has never fallen."

"Yes, General Bai will never take this risk easily."

Bert on the side also nodded and agreed.

"Then what you mean is that... Mr. Bai has not actually advanced to the fifth level of power, and all this is just Augu's words?"

Hearing this, Ariel's originally calm expression suddenly became a little nervous, and then said: "Then where is Mr. Bai now?"

"Two possibilities."

Nodding slightly to Ariel, Lei Xiao made himself a cup of tea and said: "The first type is the excuse made up by Augu under the instruction of Bai Lao, in order to cover up his whereabouts, such as Currently in the camp of the Holy Night Army."

Valley Island

"Are you saying that Mr. Bai has rebelled?!"

Ariel had an expression of disbelief on her face and quickly asked: "What about the second possibility?"

"The second one is naturally that the one who rebelled was not Mr. Bai, but the deputy general Augu. As for where Mr. Bai is now, it is even more obvious."

Looking directly into Ariel's starry eyes, Lei Xiao paused and continued: "There are only two possibilities. He has been killed by Deputy General Augu, or he has been imprisoned somewhere."

"However, Bai Lao has the strength of a fourth-level peak powerhouse, and he is surrounded by a cloud of personal guards. How could he be subdued by Augu, who has not yet reached the level of a fourth-level senior powerhouse?"

Hearing this, Ariel suddenly stood up from her seat, her fair face full of disbelief.

After pondering for a moment, Ariel's long eyelashes flickered and she asked again: "In the end, all of this is just your speculation. What is the substantive basis for it?"

"There are three points."

Signaling Chaoyan to pass a cup of steaming fragrant tea to Ariel, Lei Xiao took a sip of tea and responded: "The first point is what we have just mentioned, the strange behavior of Bai Lao in Augu's mouth."

Waving his hand gently to signal Ariel to calm down, Lei Xiao continued: "The second point is Ogu's weird behavior."

"Ogu's weird behavior?"

Blinking her starry eyes in confusion, Ariel asked, "How do you say this?"

"When we first met, the other party chatted with us for a long time while the fortress gate was open. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to close the door. This is one of them."

Shaking the tea cup in his hand, Lei Xiao began to explain: "Furthermore, the other party has never asked about the origin of those Leng Yan residents. This is the second reason."

"Indeed, if you think about it carefully, those poor residents were rescued by us from the enemy's control area after all. There is no doubt the possibility that the Holy Night Army is disguised. As an unknown person, Ogu should ask more or less of."

Hearing this, Ariel nodded thoughtfully.

"In addition, the other party's face has always been filled with a relaxed smile, without the tension and caution that a commander with a heavy responsibility should have."

Having said this, Lei Xiao drank the tea in one gulp and then concluded: "Unless he clearly understands in his heart, the Holy Night Army will never attack the fortress at present!"

"That makes sense. When I was talking to him, I always felt that something was wrong with him. It turned out to be for this reason."

Ariel also took a sip of the hot tea in the cup. Ariel, who was holding the white porcelain cup, nodded slightly and said, "In the face of a powerful enemy, this guy seems a little too nervous."

"As for the third and final point, it lies with you as the fifth princess."

Putting down the drained tea cup, Lei Xiao looked directly into Ariel's starry eyes and spoke again.

"What do you mean by this in my case?"

Hearing this, Ariel asked with a look of confusion on her delicate face.

"From the beginning of our meeting, Ogu has never asked about your origins with the two kingdom generals. Instead, he has always invited you to come to this castle as soon as possible."

At this time, Lei Xiao was seen pacing slowly in the living room while continuing: "It can be seen that what he cares about is not why you appear here, but how to keep you here!"

"Are you saying that Ogu plans to take action against us?"

Hearing this, Ariel's expression became nervous again.

"That's right, using this mountain fortress and Leng Yan's fifth princess as a vote of trust, no matter whether the mastermind behind it is Bai Lao or Ogu, it is enough to gain promotion in the Holy Night Kingdom and enjoy all the glory and wealth."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao responded lightly.

On the other side, in shock, Ariel first put down the tea cup in her hand.

He spoke again: "But, including your subordinates, on the bright side, we have four fourth-level strong men and two third-level peak strong men. How can Ogu be our opponent?"

"Your Majesty, your words are wrong."

I saw Bert first nodded to Lei Xiao, and then said: "Judging from the current situation, the strong men of the Holy Night Army must have penetrated here. This can be seen from the absence of light in the magic tower. One or two.”

"So, the other party is really planning to attack me?"

Taking a deep breath, Ariel said with a solemn expression: "How many strong men are there here?"

"Your Highness, in this castle, in addition to the detection barrier just now, there are several powerful concealment barriers of varying sizes that can be used for hiding. They all seem to be operating normally at the moment."

On the other side, Ju Bai shook his head helplessly and said: "Therefore, it is naturally impossible to perceive the specific number of strong men on the other side."

"Then our situation is extremely passive, isn't it?"

Dai Mei frowned, and Ariel spoke again.

"Don't worry, the situation is not that bad."

With a faint smile, Lei Xiao explained: "First of all, our arrival is an unexpected event, and there is no time for the other party to prepare in advance. Therefore, the number of Holy Night powerhouses here should not be too many."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "Secondly, since the other party has closed the concealment barrier and does not want to trigger the castle's alarm, it undoubtedly means that most of the strong men and soldiers in the fortress are also kept in the dark. , Therefore, the other party will not have too many comrades."

"Finally, and most importantly..."

Having said this, Lei Xiao patted the Japanese knotweed standing respectfully beside him, smiled lightly and said: "The other party would never have expected that we would have a fifth-level powerhouse as our trump card, so it is naturally foolproof. "

"Then, how about we capture the thief first and capture the king first, and directly strike first and capture Ogu?"

Hearing this, Ariel's starry eyes lit up and she said impatiently.

"Currently, the man behind the scenes is still unclear. Doing so would be tantamount to alerting the enemy. At the same time, it would also let go of the powerful members of the Holy Night Army hiding in the dark."

Shaking his head slightly, Lei Xiao smiled calmly and said: "As the saying goes, a skilled hunter will often appear as a prey. If the other party wants to attack us, we will naturally take advantage of this opportunity to catch them all."

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and then said: "If my prediction is correct, the opponent will definitely choose to separate us as mercenaries from the three of you and defeat them one by one due to their limited strength."

Having said this, Lei Xiao first nodded to the burly man in front of him, and then continued to say to Ariel: "The knotweed will follow the three of you in the dark for a while. If there is an emergency, he will help and protect you." You have no worries.”

"I understand... But if we let a fifth-level warrior with monstrous strength follow us, what will you do if the other party attacks you first?"

Nodding slightly, Ariel couldn't help but feel worried.

"Your Highness, the princess, doesn't need to worry about this."

With a faint smile, Lei Xiao immediately said: "Then, let us work together to catch all the masterminds and powerful members of the Holy Night Army here."
