"I remember that was when the city had just been besieged for a month."

I saw Old Xiao's old eyes narrowing slightly, and he said: "At that time, the panic and uneasiness in the streets were still very strong. Fortunately, the city had abundant reserves, so there was no need to worry about food. In addition, the protection of the absolute defensive barrier , making everything in the city relatively stable."

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

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

"Moving to the square in the center of the city? This is really 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 royal family's decision at that time was indeed correct. Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Loren still failed to escape the fate of destruction."

After sighing softly, a trace of sadness appeared on Lao Xiaoer's old face.

Immediately afterwards, he regained his energy and continued: "Since the secret treasures are transported by members of the royal family using large-capacity storage rings, the escort team led by the old man also dressed up as an ordinary patrol team at night, So, the journey went very smoothly without any problems.”

After a pause, Old Xiao added: "Furthermore, the security force on the outside of the square has been secretly increased several times. Therefore, the secret treasures were easily transferred to the underground of the square in the center of the city in batches. "

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

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up and he asked immediately.

"It's right under the giant horse fountain in the central square of the city. It's about a kilometer away from here, and the direction is towards the mountain side."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Lao Xiao said without reservation.

"I understand. No wonder the opponents at that time never discovered the true location of the treasure. No one would have thought that the Loren royal family would actually hide their secret treasure under the central square of the city in public."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin, thinking thoughtfully.

"Your Excellency is right."

Smiling slightly, Old Xiao added: "After all this is completed, just in case, we also covered a layer of insulating ore barrier under the original stone bricks that can greatly weaken detection magic. The layer adds an excellent barrier.”

At this point, Old Xiao's expression became a little weird again, and he said: "Sir, having said that, even if you know the location of the treasure place, it is not easy to obtain the secret treasure. matter."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Looking at Lao Xiao who looked a little embarrassed, Lei Xiao said in confusion.

"To be honest with you, for a period of time after that, I was still ordered to lead the escort team to patrol here every night."

Looking at Lei Xiao's confused eyes, Lao Xiao continued: "At first, I didn't know the reason for the royal family's arrangement, and it wasn't until later that I learned about it.

It turned out that the royal family secretly dispatched the highly respected court magician at the time, leading all the powerful court magicians to set up a special magic restriction using eight extremely rare magic restriction crystals as guides. "

"Special magic restrictions?"

Lei Xiao frowned slightly and said doubtfully.

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

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Lao Xiao responded: "And if you try to break it by force, the powerful chain magic trap inside the magic restriction will be automatically activated, causing all the secret treasures in it to be destroyed."

"So that's it..."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao pondered and nodded, muttering to himself: "So, the best way to obtain this lost secret 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 city was destroyed, it was still unknown whether anyone in the royal family survived by chance. In addition, thousands of years have passed. To find the descendants of the Loren royal family is tantamount to... It’s a case of finding a needle in a haystack, not knowing if there is a needle in the haystack.”

Shaking his head helplessly, Lao Xiao said with a wry smile: "Therefore, please don't have too high hopes."

"It is certain to find a needle in a haystack, but what I can confirm is that the needle in the haystack should be in the sea."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled mysteriously at Lao Xiao in front of him.

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

Hearing this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Old Xiao's old face, and he asked in surprise: "How did you confirm this?"

"The thing is like this..."

With a faint smile, Lei Xiao described to Lao Xiao the incident of accidentally discovering a mirage in the forest outside when he first came here.

"I never thought something like this would happen. I met the mirage of a descendant of the royal family next to the ruins of the royal capital..."

After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Lao Xiaoer was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed in amazement: "It seems that this royal secret treasure that has been lost for thousands of years is already very close to you!"

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

After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly.

"What is sad is that the royal family that once ruled a country has now been reduced to the point where it has to risk its life to go into the mountains to collect medicine? It really makes people lament that things in the world are impermanent."

Shaking his head helplessly, Lao Xiao sighed heavily.

"Nothing in this world remains static. In my hometown, there is a proverb, thirty years to the east of the river, thirty years to the west of the river. This is exactly what it says."

Smiling at Old Xiao, Lei Xiao regained his composure and said, "Okay, if that's the case, then we should leave. 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. Xiaoer, the energy of your pendant has been exhausted, right? Do you need someone to help you replenish it?"

Just when Lei Xiao said this, Chao Yan, who was drinking and eating and was wandering away, couldn't help but trembled. He quickly blinked his big eyes and took a few steps back, hiding behind Bai Wei.

"Thank you for your kindness. Although the energy in the pendant is not much, it is still enough to maintain my sleeping state. I hope that when I wake up next time, I can see a more powerful Your Excellency."

Waving his hand slightly, a hint of sadness appeared on Lao Xiao's face.

While preparing for the inheritance of the bloodline, he had stayed here alone for an extremely long time. It seemed that he was obviously unwilling to feel the loneliness of being bound by petrified shackles anymore.

Immediately afterwards, Lao Xiao regained his composure and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, this distant grandson of me has a very high level of understanding. In a very short period of time, he has completely grasped the essence of what I have learned throughout his life. He must have It will definitely be of great help to you.”

Having said this, Lao Xiaoer looked at Fang Haida who was reluctant to leave and said: "My grandson, remember, the work of a blacksmith is long and arduous. The forging is not just a weapon, but a country or even a race." of spine.

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

"My distant grandson would like to follow the teachings of our ancestors!"

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

"Well, Mr. Shore, let's get out of here first."

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

Lei Xiao first nodded to the burly old man, and then led his subordinates up the long stairs and left the underground secret room.

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

Accompanied by another muffled sound of "rumbling".

The entrance to the tunnel that was sunken in front slowly began to close, and then completely returned to its previous appearance.

"Japanese knotweed, go and get a magic furnace nearby 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, after 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 commanded his subordinates to seal the hole that Hong Ye had penetrated from the ground.

Then, based on the information provided by Old Xiao, they found the central square of the city where the royal family's secret treasure was located.

After some observation, Lei Xiao noticed.

The giant horse fountain that Old Xiao said has long been turned into pieces of gravel of different sizes, covered with moss and weeds, and its original appearance cannot be seen at all.

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

As for the original city center square, it has long been covered by the intertwined roots of towering trees and bushes, with insects chirping and katydids jumping around, and it looks full of vitality of nature.

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

Just when Lei Xiao saw this, he saw Hongye, who was wearing a high ponytail, walking forward and bowing to report in a sassy manner.

"Is that really the case?"

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

"Lord, so to speak, we can only open this magic restriction by finding the descendants of the Loren royal family?"

On the other side, Ariel, who was dressed in a smart outfit, could not help but frown slightly.

After what she had just witnessed, she felt deeply as a member of the Leng Yan royal family, the current ruler of this land.

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

It's conceivable if I hadn't met the Lord.

According to the current chaotic situation of internal and external troubles, if it continues to develop, it may not be long before the same thing happens to the descendants of the Lengyan 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 starry eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but cast an even more respectful look at Lei Xiao.

"Exactly."

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao immediately responded: "However, from another perspective, this is not a bad thing. At least we know the mystery of the magic restriction first. Otherwise, if we break it directly, I am afraid things will It’s irreversible.”

"My lord, you are right. Although this kind of practice of burning jade and stone together is very rare, it does exist, especially in this kind of treasure place."

I saw Hongye with her hands on her hips and her eyebrows furrowed.

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

"In other words, in order for the treasures to be able to open this magic restriction without any damage, we must either find a descendant of the Loren royal family, or have another powerful fifth-level magic expert in our team? "

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, the first thing Lei Xiao thought of was naturally the half-elf ancestor Jiang Li.

"This guy has been out for a while, but there is still no news. Even if I try to contact him, I can't contact him. I think there should be news soon, right? With her elusive space magic and the blessed invisibility cloak, I just want to It’s hard for anything to happen.”

"Moreover, after she woke up from her slumber, she has already appeared on the list of people in my submitted tribe, the Yuebai tribe. She is currently in a state of survival."

"It's worth mentioning that before Jiang Li showed up, there was already an item on the Yuebai clan's personnel list indicated by "???". It wasn't until she showed up that it was replaced with her attributes. , but this situation did not happen to the Xueyu clan. "

Curling his lips helplessly, Lei Xiao continued to think: "However, since there has been no news from her, I guess there must be something that has delayed her, right?"
