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

“To be honest, the Moon Shadow Magic Array is a secret unknown to us Moon Shadow Deer People. It is a core secret that only the clan leaders and elders of all generations are qualified to know. It is a divine magic passed down from the ancient Moon Shadow Deer People. It is also a life-saving trump card that we Deer People can use when our lives are at stake!”

In the dark special space, a look of nobility surged across the pale face of the young deer man, and he nodded heavily to the group of people.

"Is it actually a kind of divine magic?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Needless to say, the origin of divine magic is the supreme magic created by the gods themselves during the Silver Moon Era. No matter how sophisticated or powerful it is, it is far beyond the reach of ordinary magic.

Only the most outstanding chosen ones of God have the opportunity to gain the favor of God and eventually be qualified to study this enviable supreme magic.

Back then, even during the most prosperous period of all races, divine magic was the clan treasure and unparalleled glory of all major forces.

But now, after experiencing a mysterious blank era, most of the magic in the divine realm has been completely lost, just like the distant gods. The occasional pieces that have been passed down are almost all incomplete fragments.

Even so, these are still the core secrets of all major forces and the most important trump card.

Beside Lei Xiao, Lila and Hollis looked quite surprised.

You know, even though they are from the same second-rate forces, they don't have any divine magic, not even fragments. As for Fanny, Broy and others who are from the third-rate forces, they have even less control over it.

But what is certain is that Divine Realm Magic is a top treasure that all the top forces are vying for!
Feeling the surprised looks from everyone, the thin young deer man's face did not show the pride that a clan that has mastered divine magic should have. Instead, he said gloomily, "Although the Moon Shadow Magic Array handed down is not complete, it is a secret method that is almost tailored for us Moon Shadow Deer People, so there is no problem in performing basic functions."

Looking at the other person's dim eyes, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

The matter is obvious. It is precisely because of the shielding of the Moon Shadow Magic Array that the other party has been unable to contact us normally.

So the question is, why did the Moon Shadow Magic Circle block this young deer man? What does it mean that the other party has been asking me to help the Moon Shadow Deer Man?
Judging from the scenes along the way, the deer people here have no worries about food and clothing, even to the point of extreme luxury, and they don't look like they need help at all.

So why did this young deer man look like this? Whether it was his malnourished, skinny face or his ragged clothes, he was completely different from other deer men.

In addition to being confused, Lei Xiao recalled the scene of the deer people nobles eating frantically in the banquet hall, as well as the strange words and deeds of the deer people chief and elders who were extremely obsessed with the banquet. That was obviously the most incongruous and puzzling thing.

"Could it be that this Moon Shadow Magic Formation bewitched the deer people, causing them to become crazy and abnormal? But since this Divine Realm Magic is the life-saving trump card of the deer people, how could it have bewitched the deer people themselves? Moreover, how could a life-saving trump card be activated at will?"

Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao expressed his confusion.

Hearing this, the other strong men all cast puzzled looks at the young deer man, and it was obvious that they had the same doubts in their hearts.

"Your Majesty is right in your guess. It is indeed the Moon Shadow Magic Circle that has confused all the Deer People, not only this capital, but also other territories of us Moon Shadow Deer People."

The thin young deer man's eyes became increasingly dim, and he sighed heavily and said, "As for why the magic circle was activated, it was because the clan leader personally presided over it."

"Are you saying that the root of all this is because of your clan leader? The guy with the greasy mouth just now?"

Jasmine opened her starry eyes wide, and asked with a puzzled look on her face, "But why did he do this? Speaking of which, what is the specific function of this Moon Shadow Magic Circle?"

"Although the Moon Shadow Magic Circle is called a magic circle, it is much more complicated than an ordinary magic circle. Its original purpose is to activate the hidden abilities in the blood of Moon Shadow Deer People like us, projecting an illusory reality to confuse the opponent."

The thin young deer man nodded to Jasmine and explained, "Since it activates the bloodline ability of every deer man, every Moon Shadow Deer Man is the fulcrum of the magic circle. Because the activated abilities are connected to the bloodline, it is also enough to use the magic circle itself to communicate with each other to a considerable extent, maintaining the uniformity and stability of the virtual reality to the greatest extent, so that the range of the magic circle is enough to cover the entire Moon Shadow Deer Man territory."

"Good fellow, so this is a large-scale group spell involving all the Moon Shadow Deer People? Your divine magic is really interesting."

Jasmine's eyes almost popped out, and then she frowned again and said, "But what do you mean by mapping the virtual reality? Is it an illusion? But I don't sense any illusion here."

After Jasmine finished speaking, Lei Xiao's eyes also showed a hint of confusion.

As soon as he stepped into this place, he asked the enhanced Xiaohuan to carefully detect it, and there was indeed no sign of illusion or hallucination.

"The illusory reality projected by the Moon Shadow Magic Array is indeed a kind of illusion, but because it essentially consumes the blood power of us Moon Shadow Deer People instead of consuming magic power, it is completely different from normal illusions. Unless you are a strong person who has mastered similar techniques, even the wisest illusion master will not be able to distinguish them."

The thin young deer man bit his lip and continued, "This is the terrifying aspect of the Moon Shadow Magic Circle. It is enough to trap any enemy into the illusory reality woven by our group of Moon Shadow Deer Men."

"Wait, since you have also been bewitched, does that mean that all the deer people are now trapped in an illusory reality?"

Lei Xiao quickly reacted and frowned, "No, as outsiders who don't know the truth, we must have been trapped in this false reality since we set foot here."

"False reality? So, everything we've seen and heard along the way is not real?"

Jasmine almost jumped up and blurted out in surprise.

"That's right. There is no abundant food and resources here, nor are there neatly maintained streets or freshly painted houses. The moat has long been stinking. There are no luxurious magic crystal decorations in the castle, nor are there any banquets filled with delicious food."

The thin deer man's body trembled slightly due to grief and anger. He bit his lips until they turned white as he said, "Everything was imagined by the deer people themselves, and then they indulged themselves in it. Even their gorgeous clothes and rosy faces were fictional!"

After saying that, the skinny deer man muttered something silently, and a series of real-time magical images that were very similar to the Ice Stone City appeared in front of everyone.

The first magical image that emerged was the tree-lined road that the group had come from.

All I saw was that the muddy road was covered with dust and fallen leaves, and the surrounding flower beds had long since withered and died. Everywhere was a scene of vicissitudes of life. How could it be the neatly trimmed and spotless appearance it had been when a group of people passed by?

The second magical image that emerged was the scene at the city gate.

There were still a huge crowd of people there, and it looked very lively, but where were the dazzling array of goods and sufficient food on the stalls? Instead, there were only some broken stones, lumps of mud, and moldy rotten bread displayed on them.

Every one of the deer people wandering around the market was dressed in rags, had a sallow complexion, and looked malnourished, which was completely different from what everyone had seen before.

As for the moat at the city gate, it was floating with all kinds of algae and filth, with thick black and gray waves. Although there was no smell, one could imagine how foul and pungent it was. It was ten times worse than what Lila described.

As for the next few magical images, they are street scenes in the city.

Looking around, all you see are old houses with broken bricks and tiles and bumpy roads. It is completely different from the way it was when you passed by.

Not only that, the castle standing in the center of the city is covered with thick vines with barbs, and there are even many bird nests on it. Where is the picturesque scenery filled with magical flowers before?
The more they looked, the more solemn they became. They then moved their gaze to the interior of the castle. Although they had not observed it carefully yet, the series of dilapidated scenes before had already explained everything.

As expected, just as the thin young deer man had described, the walls of the old castle were peeling off, there were no magic crystals inlaid on them, and there was no grandeur. Many places were even leaking and moldy, and everywhere looked like it was in a state of lack of maintenance.
The same was true for the banquet hall. There were no crystal tassel chandeliers, only some dim light crystals shining.

All I saw were the deer nobles who were living a life of drunkenness and dreaming. They were also dressed in rags, with pale faces and thin bodies. They were holding mottled goblets and chewing some hard black bread. There were no delicacies at all. Some old deer men were even bleeding from their mouths without noticing it, obviously because their teeth were broken by the hard bread.

As for the Xingluo Sect that the Deer Man Elder had always recommended, it was a pile of black slag. Lei Xiao suspected that it was most likely shoveled out of an oven or fireplace.

"Is this what I just ate?"

Jasmine's starry eyes quickly fixed on the "Xingluo Sect". She felt her stomach churning and began to retch uncontrollably.

"This girl is so greedy, she should have learned a lesson from this, right?"

Lei Xiao smiled helplessly in his heart, then became serious again.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, the scene before your eyes would have been unbelievable. It turned out that the arrogance that the Deer Clan Chief spoke of was nothing but a false scene that was completely different from reality.

Lei Xiao's gaze moved across the magic image, and finally fell on the deerman chief.

I saw that the other person had high cheekbones due to his thinness, his sallow face was dull and lifeless, and he even had dark circles under his eyes. There was no doubt that he was very different from his previous rosy and wealthy appearance, not to mention his greasy mouth.

"Isn't this Deer Clan leader the one who activated the magic circle? Why does he look so immersed in it?"

Seeing this, a hint of doubt appeared in Lei Xiao's eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is the terrifying part of the Moon Shadow Magic Array. The clan leader was not familiar with the Moon Shadow Magic Array, but he insisted on forcibly activating it. As a result, it has now reached a point where it is out of control and he has even lost himself. The magic array itself has gone berserk and will only infinitely magnify the things that those who immerse themselves in it desire the most."

The thin young deer man obviously saw Lei Xiao's doubts and sighed, "Over the years, as the Broken Wing King's plunder and oppression have become more severe, we Moon Shadow Deer People often go hungry and have a hard time surviving. The little resources we had left in the tragic defeat that year were quickly emptied out. Therefore, it goes without saying what we desire most."

"Enough food and a comfortable life?"

Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said thoughtfully.

"That's right, Your Majesty. After being infinitely magnified by the runaway magic circle, these things eventually became such a strange scene."

The thin young deer man nodded heavily and continued, "So it's not surprising what you saw in the banquet hall.

"I understand everything now. I never thought that we would unknowingly stumble into such a terrifying illusion."

Hollis, who had been listening, rested his chin on one hand and pondered.

At the beginning, this half-Titan chieftain, like everyone else, was puzzled by the sudden transformation of the deer man and was amazed in his heart. He did not expect that everything was just a bubble.

While sighing in his heart, Hollis's eyes fell on the thin female deer man in front of him, and he said with a vigilant look on his face: "By the way, since this Moon Shadow Magic Circle is a secret that only the core members of the Moon Shadow Deer Man can know, how did you know it?"

As soon as Hollis said this, everyone else looked at him with doubt.

"To be honest, my name is Rosa. I am the daughter of the former leader of the Moon Shadow Deer People. I was also once the youngest elder of the Moon Shadow Deer People, so I am qualified to know all this."

The skinny deer man named Rosa lowered his head, with a hint of sadness in his voice.

Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly.

In the fierce battle with the Broken Wing King, the former chief of the Deer People who led the troops was killed in the battle. It is not surprising that the other party would have such an expression.

"So she is the daughter of the former leader of the Deer People. No wonder she seems familiar to me. We must have met each other before."

Lila nodded with sudden enlightenment and patted the other person's shoulder gently to comfort him.

"Thank you, Stone Giant Chief, for remembering me."

Rosa took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then said urgently: "My background is not important. Since you have learned everything, can you help me break this magic circle?"

However, just as Rosa's urgent voice fell, something strange happened. (End of this chapter)
