Chapter 1177 The Old King’s Gift
"I see. Your Excellency brought me news about Alan and even allowed me to see my son's last moments. You were also willing to talk to a pathetic old man like me. Naturally, I have no choice but to accept your request."
The old king nodded without hesitation and responded.
"Then I'll trouble you, Your Majesty."
Lei Xiao still maintained sufficient respect and reminded: "By the way, in the areas near here and other areas, there are still many of my companions and soldiers under my command. They are all our own people. Your Majesty, please do not embarrass them."
"Don't worry, since they are your people, I will naturally not let them fall into danger."
The old king nodded slightly and said, "Then please wait for a moment, Your Excellency. I will re-establish the connection with the entire dungeon. After all, all the magic arrays and magic mechanisms here were designed and laid by me in the past."
After saying this, the old king closed his eyes and began to meditate.
After just a moment, a look of doubt suddenly appeared on the old king's face, and he slowly opened his eyes.
"Strange. According to my spiritual detection, although the absolute defense barrier is still normal, 70% of the underground city has completely disappeared. Even this Black Wolf Castle is upside down on the cave wall. This is simply unbelievable."
"Are the only areas left in the entire underground city the Fourth Square, the Fifth Commercial District, the Seventh Planting District, the Eleventh Residential District, and the First Courtyard District where I am?"
After hearing the old king's words, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
This undoubtedly means that the actual scale of the entire underground city is much larger than imagined.
Lei Xiao stroked his chin gently and nodded thoughtfully.
It seems that the "misplaced things" are not just limited to this castle and its supporting facilities, but a large part of them have lost their trace.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao briefly described to the old king the mystery of the "misplaced objects" left over from the blank era.
"There is actually such a strange phenomenon. Who was the opponent we faced back then?"
The old king was surprised, but he immediately calmed down and continued his exploration.
Not long after, the old king opened his wrinkled eyes again, nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "So the other party destroyed all the transfer arrays connecting these remaining areas to the ground, and that's why you are trapped here?"
Hearing this, everyone frowned.
Just as Lei Xiao said, it seems that the other party really intended to trap us here forever from the beginning and completely eliminate this stumbling block of ours.
"Your Majesty, do you have a way to restore these transfer arrays?"
Lei Xiao's brows were also furrowed, and he asked quickly.
"Don't worry, sir. They only damaged the surface of the transfer array, but not the core. I will be able to repair it soon."
The old king nodded slightly and responded: "Please wait a moment, Your Excellency."
After saying this, a wave of ancient energy began to surge around the old king, and a deep magic circle of white and gray instantly unfolded under his feet.
"It's the energy fluctuations of the transfer magic circle!"
Jiang Xi's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but blurt out.
You know, this is a long-lost ancient magic. Although it is not as long-distance as teleportation, it can transfer a large number of troops in an instant. It will definitely play a big role in battlefields with certain special terrains.
"When everything is over, we can come back and consult the old king. For now, let's focus on the present."
Lei Xiao noticed Jiang Xi's excitement and nodded slightly at him.
Soon, the energy waves surging around the old king dissipated, and he nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "Sir, I have restarted the transfer array in the first courtyard area, which is enough for you and others to return to the ground."
"As for your soldiers, I will teleport them all to the ground later."
After hearing the old king's words, the group of people were immediately excited and cheered up.
This undoubtedly means that under the leadership of Lei Xiao, the dawn of victory has reappeared in front of us. Although the future is uncertain, there is at least a glimmer of hope!
"Thank you for your great help, Your Majesty. When I get through this difficult time, I will come back to thank Your Majesty again."
Lei Xiao was excited and nodded to the old king in front of him.
"You are too polite, sir. These are insignificant compared to what you have brought me."
The old king smiled slightly, and then a solemn look appeared on his face. He said seriously, "Before I send you off, I have one more thing to remind you."
"Just now, I discovered the hidden sixth livestock area. It has been transformed into a disgusting magical beast breeding base. Although all the magical beasts have been transported away not long ago, there is still an extremely violent and bloody smell left."
The old king frowned and continued, "It is not difficult to see from this that your opponent is definitely not a pushover. Please be careful in dealing with him."
"Thank you for your reminder, Your Majesty. I am ready to fight with all my strength."
Lei Xiao nodded heavily, his voice firm.
The monster breeding base that the old king mentioned must be the place where the Devouring Slime and Red Blood Sandworms are produced.
The former of these two kinds of magical beasts almost destroyed the entire Lanleng Castle, and the latter caused us great trouble during the Battle of Wangxing City. No one knows what terrible things the other side has developed.
But no matter what we have to face, we have no way out.
"I see a determination in your eyes that is as strong as the steel of God. It seems that you have really made up your mind. This is the first necessary step towards victory."
The old king's eyes showed a hint of admiration, but then he shook his head helplessly and said, "It's a pity that I can't leave this underground city, and the underground treasure house and storage area of this castle have become "misplaced objects", so I can't help you in other ways."
"Your Majesty, you are too polite. This has already helped us a lot."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, motioned everyone to come closer to the transfer array, and said: "Leave it to us next."
After that, Lei Xiao gave White a few more instructions, asking him to arrange for other Grimm generals to cooperate with the old king in the next transfer while protecting the safety of the lords.
After hearing Lei Xiao's instructions, the old general Grimm naturally did not dare to be negligent and immediately began to make arrangements.
When Lei Xiao and others were ready to move, the old king seemed to remember something, his old eyes lit up and he said, "Oh, I have one last item on me, I will give it to you."
After saying that, the old king turned over his wrinkled palm, and an ancient silver shield badge appeared in front of Lei Xiao.
This shield-shaped badge was engraved with dense ancient runes, exuding a mysterious aura. Lei Xiao always felt that he had seen this special rune somewhere before.
At the moment when the shield emblem appeared, Lei Xiao was surprised to find out.
The Rolandel in his hand actually began to tremble slightly, as if some kind of resonance had occurred.
Looking at the sword in his hand and then at the shield emblem, Lei Xiao made further discoveries.
It turns out that Rolandel's sword is also engraved with a row of the same runes. No wonder it always feels familiar.
"This is the Guardian of Orlandin."
The old king handed over the badge and said with a smile, "I believe you have already sensed that this is one of the holy weapons that matches Rolandel. Only when the two appear together can they exert a more powerful power."
"So that's how it is. Thank you very much for your gift, Your Majesty."
Taking the badge handed over by the old king, Lei Xiao casually opened the badge's attribute column.
[Name: Mottled Guard of Orlandin]
[Grade: Level 5 Extraordinary (Silver)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional Effect 24: Orlandin's Protection "Resist one fatal injury below level (Charging Time: hours)"]
[Additional Effect 2: Paladin Synchro "Within a certain distance, the rank of the other two holy artifacts, 'Rolandel' and 'Odoste', will be raised to the same level as this badge"]
[Note: In the Solar Era, this badge was one of the three holy artifacts of a lost empire, also known as the Paladin Badge. After the death of its original owner, the whereabouts of this badge is unknown.
In the Silver Moon Era, the founder of the Silver Fire Kingdom, the first Silver Fire King, found it again and eventually collected the three sacred artifacts, which became the royal symbol of the Silver Fire Kingdom.
Until the destruction of the Silver Fire Kingdom, this badge was worn by the last Silver Fire King, Oliver.
"The first additional effect is exactly the same as Star Guardian, and the second additional effect is to make Rolander the same level as another holy artifact? But Rolander is also level five."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao suddenly became enlightened.
There is only one possibility that can explain the current situation, that is, this badge is no longer in its prime condition after a long time.
Lei Xiao just touched his finger and started the upgrade directly.
Sure enough, the prompt sound soon rang in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, your "Level 5 Accessory: Mottled Orlandin's Guard" has been upgraded to "Level 6 Accessory: Orlandin's Guard"! ]
Listening to the familiar prompt, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and reopened the badge's attribute bar.
[Name: Guardian of Orlandin]
[Level: Level 6 Legend (Gold)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional Effect 12: Orlandin's Blessing: "Resist one fatal injury below level (Charging Time: hours)"]
[Additional Effect 2: Paladin Synchro "Within a certain distance, the rank of the other two holy artifacts, 'Rolandel' (already effective) and 'Odoste', will be raised to the same rank as this badge"]
[Note: Same as above, omitted]
"The first additional effect can actually resist a sixth-level damage? And the charging time is reduced by half."
A hint of joy flashed across Lei Xiao's eyes and he nodded with satisfaction. It was obvious that he had an even more powerful life-saving trump card!
As for the second additional effect, the words "effective" were added behind Rolandel.
This undoubtedly means that Rolandel has also reached the sixth level!
In addition to being happy, Lei Xiao opened the attribute column of the sword again.
【Name: Rolandel】
[Level: Level 6 Legend (Gold)]
[Attack Strength: Six Stars]
[Additional Effect 1: Immortal Blade "Never wears out, this sword cannot be damaged under any conditions"]
[Additional Effect 200: Blade of the Gods [Increases damage to dark attribute enemies by %]]
[Additional Effect 50: Elemental Blade [Increases all attribute attack damage by %]]
[Note: Under the synchronization of "Guardian of Orlandin", this sword has reached the sixth level, which is also the true peak state. ]
"Wow, not only has the attack strength increased, but it also adds an all-attribute damage boost? It seems that when necessary, I can hold a sword in one hand and a staff in the other to cast spells."
Lei Xiao closed the attribute bar and looked at the sword which was obviously brighter, the joy on his face was beyond words.
The old king opposite had a look of surprise on his face.
He originally wanted to explain that the badge was a little worn, but he saw a dazzling flash of light, and the badge had been restored to its peak condition!
As for Generals White and others, they were stunned and looked confused.
After their eyes were stung by the sudden shining light, they only felt two powerful energy fluctuations surging from the badge and sword in Lei Xiao's hands respectively.
Then, these two pieces of equipment, which seemed to be priceless, reached a new height that they had never seen before!
"Your Excellency is indeed extraordinary."
After being stunned for a moment, the old king finally came back to his senses and nodded to Lei Xiao, saying, "In this way, I feel much more relieved."
"Your Majesty, I am too kind to praise you. It is just a trivial skill."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and responded: "Then please, Your Majesty, move us to the ground."
"I understand. As long as you show the Guardian of Orlandin in the city on the ground, I will teleport you to me. As for the last holy weapon, Odoste, it is in the possession of my daughter, Princess Fei'er of the Pelican. If you have the chance to find her, perhaps you can gather all the items."
The old king's eyes were filled with relief. He nodded heavily at Lei Xiao and said, "Although the enemy you are facing must be extremely difficult to deal with, I still look forward to your triumphant return and to meeting you again!"
After saying this, the old king waved his red sleeves, and the group instantly disappeared into the dark and ancient castle.
Accompanied by a flash of lightness, when Lei Xiao's vision became clear again, he had reappeared at the gate of Huangyao City.
At this time, night had fallen, the sky was full of stars, and it had become completely dark.
But Lei Xiao and his group are not sure whether there will be dawn tomorrow.
When our generals who had stayed behind saw Lei Xiao, who had been looking forward to it, they immediately surrounded him excitedly.
Lei Xiao briefly described the series of situations he had just encountered in the ancient dungeon.
"My Lord, what should we do next?"
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, General Bert of the Giant Axe was amazed and couldn't help but ask immediately.
