Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

As the metal gate opened, what came into the eyes of the group was still a magnificent scene, exuding an atmosphere of luxury everywhere.

Just as Lila had said, this place looked like a living room.

The magic crystal tassels hanging from the giant chandelier swayed slightly in the breeze, making crisp sounds. The soft and delicate carpet completely covered the huge room, and the whole hall exuded a golden luster as if it was poured with liquid gold.

Not only are there exquisite wall carvings and magical crystals inlaid all over the walls, but even the edges of the picture frames hanging on the walls are finely carved and engraved with lifelike deer man patterns.

In the center of the hall, there are a few chairs and tables, but other than that, there seems to be nothing worth noting.

"This is indeed a reception place of the castle."

Jasmine first concentrated on detecting, and after confirming that there was no magic trap at the door, she stepped into the door of the reception room.
Fei'er and other powerful magicians who were exploring the way also walked side by side with magic wands in their hands, spreading out in a fan shape and carefully observing everything around them.

After quickly confirming that there was nothing unusual in the entire reception room, the group couldn't help but frown slightly.

Apart from the same luxurious decoration as the rest of the castle, there doesn't seem to be anything special here.

"Your Majesty, what is going on?"

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the table and chairs in the center of the room, Lila said to Lei Xiao with a puzzled look on her face: "Although this place looks brand new, the overall layout is no different from when I visited it before. It seems to be an ordinary place."

"If it's just an ordinary place, why is the old deer man so nervous?"

Jasmine's figure flashed back and forth in the reception room. She looked at the exquisite magic paintings arranged on the wall, then at the sparkling magic crystals. She tilted her head and said, "Besides, the magic restriction at the door just now was also quite difficult. Fortunately, we have many experts, so we successfully broke it."

"Yes, there must be something else going on here, but we just haven't noticed it yet."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, signaling the men to continue searching.

However, although the group used various detection methods, they still did not find any clues in this reception room of two to three hundred square meters.

As time passed, the expressions of the group became more solemn.

It goes without saying that this deer people's territory, especially this deer people's castle, is full of weirdness. Under the premise that everything is still unclear, any more time wasted will undoubtedly lead to more variables.

Noticing everyone's nervousness, Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly.

According to his speculation, since the mysterious black shadow led him and his group here, it should have taken the next step. Why hasn't it shown up yet?

Just as Lei Xiao was frowning in thought, the hurried whisper suddenly sounded in the corner of the hall.

But when Lei Xiao looked in the direction of the sound, he found that there was nothing there and he couldn't find the source of the sound at all.

Confused, Lei Xiao turned his palm up, and Rolandel appeared, and walked straight to the corner of the hall.

Seeing Lei Xiao's sudden action, the powerful men around him followed closely and began to search the surroundings.

However, there was nothing noteworthy in this corner of the hall except for a few magic paintings and magic lamps hanging on the walls.

"Strange, the sound just now clearly came from here."

Lei Xiao knocked on the wall gently, trying to find a secret door or hidden passage, but still found nothing.

Just as Lei Xiao was becoming more and more confused, his wandering gaze suddenly stopped and finally fixed on a magic painting on the wall.

It depicts two clear full moons, one large and one small, in the night sky, with a starry night sky as the background.

I saw two full moons like silver plates emitting bright white light, and below the two full moons, an inharmonious figure suddenly appeared. Judging from the skinny figure, it was the mysterious black shadow!

However, because there was originally a starry sky there, the black shadow was extremely inconspicuous, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find any clues at all.

"Could it be that the other party made the sound just now?"

Lei Xiao was stunned at first, then he looked intently, and the rapid whispering began to sound in his ears again. This time, Lei Xiao finally vaguely heard all the content of the other party's words.

"Your Majesty, please help us, please help us!"

It was a hoarse and anxious female voice. The reason why the voice was hoarse was obviously because of continuous shouting.

In other words, the other party should have been trying to convey information to us, but was blocked by some invisible barrier, which made the sound vague and intermittent.
"Could it be that it is because of some invisible barrier that the other party's figure and voice are looming? What exactly is this invisible barrier? Why does the other party keep begging for my help?"

"By the way, why did the other party appear in the magic painting?"

Lei Xiao became more and more confused and stared at the blurry figure under the starry sky.

However, the figure was still extremely blurry, and it was obviously difficult to break through the invisible barrier unilaterally.

"Since the other party can't break through the barrier on his own, I might as well try my best here."

When thinking of this in his mind, the energy and divine power in Lei Xiao's abdomen suddenly rose like a raging storm, enhancing his five senses to the maximum extent.

Sure enough, this time, the outline of the figure finally began to become clearer. The other person was thin, and judging from the antlers on his head, he was obviously also a deer man.

The only difference from the tall and forked antlers of other deer men was that the antlers of this thin figure were obviously broken off in a large part, with only the roots left standing on the top of his head.

As the figure became clearer, the other party's hurried voice also became clearer: "Your Majesty, please save us, the Moon Shadow Deer People!"

"That's exactly why I tried to reach out to you."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and immediately asked: "What do I need to do?"

"Thank you very much for your help, His Majesty!"

The thin figure cried with joy and quickly responded, "To be honest, this is the core of the Moon Shadow Magic Circle. As long as we destroy this place, everything will be solved!"

"Moon Shadow Array? Is it with you?"

Hearing these somewhat puzzling words, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frowned slightly.

Our powerful men around them looked at each other in bewilderment. In their view, Lei Xiao was obviously having a conversation across the air.

"I am indeed at the core of the magic circle. I will find a way to pull you all in right now!"

As soon as the other party finished speaking, something strange happened.

Before Lei Xiao and his group could react, the magic painting suddenly flashed with strong light. When their vision became clear again, they had already appeared in an extremely dark place.

Everything is quiet here. Two clear full moons, one big and one small, are suspended not far above your head, and the surrounding area is the starry sky!
"Have we entered the magical painting depicting the starry sky?"

Lila opened her beautiful eyes wide in surprise and blurted out.

The other strong men on our side also had the same expression, looking incredulous.

"Hey, look over there!"

Jasmine pulled Lei Xiao's collar and pointed in the direction behind him.

Looking in the direction of Jasmine's finger, Lei Xiao noticed with surprise.

Behind the group of people, there was a window floating in the air, and the scene outside the window was exactly the magnificent reception room!

"We really have entered a magical painting. It's unbelievable!"

Jasmine blinked her starry eyes, and a hint of surprise emerged on her fair face.

"That's not quite accurate."

A clear female voice that sounded a little timid and a little hoarse suddenly sounded, explaining: "Actually, this is a barrier area, and it is used to hide the core of the Moon Shadow Magic Array!"

Hearing this sudden sound, everyone became alert and immediately surrounded the owner of the voice.

The other party was a thin young female deer man, wearing an extremely tattered light yellow robe. The pair of antlers on her head were obviously broken off, leaving only a small uneven root.

The other party looked breathless, his thin collarbone was constantly rising and falling, and there were even signs of magic overdraft, obviously because he had just consumed a lot of energy to pull this group of people in.

After being surrounded by a group of our powerful warriors with aggressive momentum, the opponent's already sallow face instantly turned as pale as paper. He froze in place, at a loss, and even his breathing became cautious.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the other person's tattered clothes and thin face, Jasmine's fair face was full of confusion.

Compared with the other deer people who were dressed in bright clothes and gushing with grease, this young deer man looked like a beggar.

"She is the mysterious shadow."

Lei Xiao recognized the other party's voice immediately. He waved his hand to signal the other warriors to step back a little while introducing, "Before this, I had heard her faint whispers many times before. Finally, I guessed that it meant "help us". That's why I was sure that she was the one who guided us here."

After saying that, Lei Xiao smiled and nodded to the other party, indicating that the other party did not need to be too nervous.

"I tried my best to transmit the sound to His Majesty. After all, the power of the Moon Shadow Magic Circle is too strong."

The skinny deer man looked at Lei Xiao with gratitude, and nodded quickly, agreeing, "If it weren't for the human emperor who finally discovered the clues and took the initiative to contact me, I'm afraid it would still be difficult for me to communicate directly with you all."

After hearing this, everyone nodded in sudden enlightenment. If that was the case, then the other party should not be our enemy.

But what is certain is that it was because Your Majesty discovered the clues in time that we were able to meet the other party formally.

While everyone's minds were suddenly enlightened, soon a look of confusion appeared on everyone's faces.

This person's aura was only at an ordinary sixth-level. If she was the mysterious black shadow, how could she have flashed past the eyes of so many half-step seventh-level warriors?
"You just said this is a barrier area?"

Jasmine frowned and asked in confusion, "But I don't feel any spatial energy fluctuations."

After Jasmine finished speaking, Bruce, who was also a strong space expert, nodded and cast a puzzled look over.

If it is a barrier area, no matter how cleverly it is hidden, they who are extremely sensitive to space will definitely be able to feel it the moment they enter here.

"This is the terrifying part of the Moon Shadow Magic Array. It can perfectly block your perception, even though many of you are powerful Half-Step Seventh Rank warriors."

The thin deer man nodded solemnly to Jasmine and explained, "Therefore, it is not surprising that you cannot sense that this is a barrier area."

"So, the reason why your figure is so vague is also because of the shielding of the Moon Shadow Magic Circle?"

Lei Xiao stroked his chin gently and immediately grasped the key point of the matter.

"Your Majesty is right. In fact, I noticed you when you entered the tree-lined avenue outside the city. However, no matter how I tried to communicate with you, or even make physical contact with you, you did not respond at all."

The skinny deer man nodded heavily and responded, "So, even though I tried my best to break through the barrier of the Moon Shadow Magic Circle and stand in front of you, I was blocked by the magic circle the moment I broke through. At most, only a few words were transmitted to His Majesty the Human Race, because I could only do this much with all my strength."

"So, the reason why you disappeared like a ghost, far beyond the scope of an ordinary half-step seventh-level strongman, is not because of your extraordinary strength and your initiative, but because you were blocked by the Moon Shadow Magic Array?"

Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly, and the doubts in his mind were resolved.

The other strong men also nodded in sudden enlightenment. It turned out that this was the reason why the opponent was only at the sixth level of strength but we could not catch any trace of him.

However, the group soon frowned again. If that was the case, then had we been under the influence of this Moon Shadow Magic Circle since the moment we set foot in the Deer People's territory?

"As Your Majesty said, after this, I have tried many times to break through the shield and communicate with you, but all to no avail."

The skinny deer man shook his head helplessly, then looked at Lei Xiao with respect and continued, "Fortunately, His Majesty the Human Race noticed the message I conveyed, took the initiative to come here, and has been looking for an opportunity to talk to me, so I am able to meet you all now."

"Because this is not only the core of the Moon Shadow Magic Circle, but also the place where the influence of the magic circle is the weakest."

The skinny deer man took a deep breath and continued, "In other words, only here can I communicate with you face to face!"

"Since it is the core of the magic circle, it should be the place with the strongest influence. How can it be the weakest place?"

Jasmine tilted her head, looking puzzled as she asked, "Besides, what exactly is this Moon Shadow Magic Circle that you keep mentioning?" (End of this chapter)
