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

Chapter 404 Abnormal Illusion

Facing the bitter wind, Lei Xiao, who was riding on the giant white wolf, squinted his eyes and looked away.

This Fenglong City located on the plain is almost as large as Shuiyue City, but it seems to be quite satisfactory.

Outside the towering city walls, there are stretches of green wheat fields, as if there are some light-colored patches on the vast emerald green plain.

A gurgling blue river intersperses between the wheat fields, twists and turns, and merges into the moat outside the city wall.

Under the bright sun, the sparkling water and the green of the wheat fields intersect, which looks particularly eye-catching.

"Is this Fenglong City? I heard Xueya describe it before. The difference from the tourist city Shuiyue City is that Fenglong City is involved in agriculture, handicrafts and commerce, and belongs to a comprehensive medium-sized city."

As the team continued to advance, the city walls in the distance began to grow taller. Lei Xiao raised his eyes and noticed further.

Next to Fenglong City, the large peaks of Songyin Mountain Range soaring into the sky are still clearly visible, giving people a very spectacular feeling.

"The two cities of Fenglong and Shuiyue are both located on the edge of the eastern region of the Lengyan Kingdom where the territory is located. Sending troops from here can not only penetrate directly into the hinterland of Lengyan, but also rely on the Songyin Mountains to cut off the eastern region of Lengyan and communicate with Lengyan. Geographical location is extremely important to connect with other areas of Flame.”

Slowly withdrawing his gaze, Lei Xiao lowered his body again, and buried his side face in the thick white wolf fur, with a pensive expression.

"According to my current plan, after successfully subduing Ariel, the first step to help Ariel ascend the throne and become the Queen of Lengyan is to completely control the entire eastern region of Lengyan, as a The foundation has formed a situation of fighting against the other regions of Lengyan, that is, the forces under the command of the three princes."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao looked at the surrounding scenery that kept sweeping back, his eyes were like torches.

"With Ariel's status as the fifth princess of Lengyan, plus my increasingly powerful energy, as long as you are fully prepared, it is quite difficult to complete this first step of the plan, but it is not impossible. things."

"Of course, this is just a rough framework, and there are still many things to be done in the middle."

Lei Xiao took a deep breath of the bitter air, and continued to think.

"For example, how to mobilize the army to conquer the city, how to paralyze the mysterious organization hidden in the dark, how to use the border confrontation, etc., but at least from the current situation, everything is still going smoothly."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

The group of ten people wearing the invisibility cloak could already clearly see, above the towering city wall of Fenglong City, a crowd of guarding soldiers in battle armor holding sharp knives, as well as the flow of carriages and people coming and going at the gate of the city.

"Judging from this peaceful and ordinary scene, it's hard to imagine that there is actually a red dragon sealed underground that can easily destroy a city."

Looking at the bustling scene in front of him, Lei Xiao frowned tightly, and couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart.

"My lord, it seems that the three fifth-order red dragons haven't reached Fenglong City yet!"

Beside Lei Xiao, Xue Ya's fair and delicate face suddenly showed a look of joy, and said excitedly: "According to Lord Lord's plan, we have indeed caught up!"

"Next, as long as the underground red dragon is suppressed, we can breathe a sigh of relief."

Lei Xiao nodded, and then ordered to the subordinates beside him: "It's not too late, Xue Ya will lead the way, go directly to the place where the dragon is sealed underground in the city."

"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"

The light blue magic wings behind Xue Ya vibrated and quickly came to the front of the team.

Not long after, with the continuous galloping on the roofs of the busy neighborhood, a large castle in the center of the city has already caught the eyes of the group.

"My lord, that is the home of my subordinates, that is, the city lord's mansion of Fenglong City."

Xue Ya's crisp voice came to Lei Xiao's ears again: "And the underground entrance to the Land of Sealing Dragons is in the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Understood, the coordination matters will be left to you."

Looking at the large and simple castle in the distance, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded in response.

"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"

Xue Ya's excited and clear voice immediately came over: "Being able to see the lord face to face, the subordinate's father will definitely jump for joy!"

However, Xue Ya's voice just fell.

The rough voice of the knotweed stick suddenly sounded again: "My lord, there seems to be something wrong with the city lord's mansion ahead."

"Oh?"

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, motioning for the knotweed beside him to continue talking.

"My lord, except for the soldiers guarding the outermost perimeter, the rest of the people inside the castle are very weak and seem to be in a coma."

Only to hear the slightly dignified voice of the knotweed, which came to Lei Xiao's ears again.

"In the beginning, this subordinate thought it was the reason for the interference of the underground hidden ban, but at this distance, this subordinate can already clearly perceive that there is indeed some unknown abnormal situation in the city lord's mansion ahead. .”

After the tiger stick finished speaking, the sisters Ye Cang, Chao Yan, and Nan Xing Nanyue, who were all at the fourth level, also nodded solemnly.

Due to the large population in the city and the abnormal chaos of various auras, even the fourth-order powerhouses could vaguely perceive that things were indeed extremely unusual.

"How did this happen? What happened to the City Lord's Mansion? What happened to father and the others?"

After listening to the words of the knotweed, Xue Ya, who was leading the way at the front of the team, couldn't help showing a nervous and worried look on her delicate fair face.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine."

Lei Xiao comforted Xue Ya first, and his eyes became serious.

From the current situation, it is not difficult to see that the fatal crisis seems to have quietly arrived.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao looked at the smiling residents in the bustling neighborhood, and said solemnly: "Go at full speed, no matter what happens in the castle, we must hurry before the arrival of those three giant dragons." Solve it, otherwise, this city will undoubtedly be very dangerous."

"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"

The firm and dignified voices of all the subordinates came together.

After a while, Lei Xiao and his party, who were still wearing the invisibility cloak, appeared in front of the gate of the courtyard outside the residence of the mayor of Fenglong City.

Xue Ya, who is the heir of the head of the Bingliu family, and A Ling, the head maid of the Bingliu family, have already lifted their invisible state.

Under the bright sunshine, the courtyard door leading to the ancient castle garden was closed, and a group of guard squadron soldiers in shining armor stood neatly, faithfully performing their duties.

"Miss Xueya, you are back!"

Seeing Xue Ya's slender figure, the middle-aged team leader who was guarding the outside of the castle immediately trotted over, patting his chest respectfully and saluting: "The villain is going to inform the city lord!"

And the other guards all showed reverence one after another. It is not difficult to see from their performance that they, who are of ordinary strength, obviously did not notice the abnormal situation in the castle.

"No need."

With a serious expression on Xue Ya's fair face, she said lightly, "I and A Ling can go in by themselves, and you stay outside. No one is allowed to enter this place without my order."

"Order!"

Although he looked puzzled, the captain of the guard squadron still had a respectful expression on his face, and quickly ordered his subordinates to open the courtyard gate leading to the castle.

After quickly passing through a large and well-built courtyard, the quaint castle as the city lord's mansion was fully displayed in front of Lei Xiao.

Before he had time to marvel at the majesty and magnificence of the towering castle, Lei Xiao noticed that another group of soldiers guarding the gate of the castle had fallen crookedly to the ground.

Moreover, an extremely strange wave of strange energy is slowly rippling out of the metal gate of the castle that has not been fully dropped.

"My lord, these soldiers have no external injuries, and their breathing is relatively stable, but they have fallen into a coma for unknown reasons."

The petite Nan Xing flashed in front of Lei Xiao after careful inspection, and reported sassyly.

Immediately afterwards, the same Nanyue also descended from the sky like a ghost, bowed shyly and said, "Q...Qi, my lord, there is no suspicious sign found around the castle."

From the excited expressions of the twin sisters, it is not difficult to see that they are both a little excited. After all, the two have not acted together with Lei Xiao for a while.

"After being promoted to the fourth-order powerhouse, the speed of these two elusive girls is really getting more and more terrifying."

Looking at the energetic appearance of the two, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and his expression became serious again.

Just as what the knotweed said, there was indeed some kind of sudden abnormal situation here.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, this unknown abnormal situation is likely to spread from the inside of the castle.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao focused his attention on the weird energy constantly emanating from the door.

"My lord, this unusually treacherous energy fluctuation seems to have the same effect as the illusion, but it is different from the man-made illusion, the naturally formed illusion, and the reflection of the illusion crystal. Among them, there are still a lot of Violence."

I saw Ye Cang standing at the gate of the castle, after feeling it for a while, while pushing the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, he bowed doubtfully and said: "This is the first time that this kind of specious situation has occurred. met."

"Is it similar to an illusion, but different from an illusion?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao once again had a pensive look on his face.

During this period of time, with a better understanding of this world, Lei Xiao clearly understood.

Just like what Ye Cang listed just now, although the types of illusions are ever-changing, there are no more than three common sources.

The first type is performed by the illusionist on the spot, arranged in advance, or released by using a magic scroll.

The second type is the phantom mirage formed naturally.

The third type is the recording-type illusion reflected by the illusion crystal.

"I have encountered these three types many times, whether it is in the half-elf enchantment, the ruins of the ancient battlefield, the ancient giant ship, or even the Shanjing Principality not long ago."

"However, the current specious situation has never been encountered before... What happened in the castle? Why did this abnormal illusion appear?"

While full of curiosity and bewilderment, Lei Xiao couldn't help but see a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead.

The current situation is extremely critical.

It is conceivable that if all the abnormalities in the City Lord's Mansion cannot be resolved before the arrival of the three giant dragons.

Then completely suppress the red dragon in the underground dragon sealing land, and the matter will undoubtedly be irreversible.

Around Lei Xiao, the subordinates who also realized the urgency of the situation also emerged one after another with a touch of dignity.

Especially Xue Ya and A Ling, they both bit their red lips tightly, and the uneasiness on their faces was palpable.

Once the worst happens, this peaceful city will be annihilated by the flames of revenge from several dragon clans in the shortest possible time.

"If you want to solve the current problem, you must first figure out the source of this abnormal illusion."

Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates, and asked solemnly, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Sir, my lord, in this abnormal illusion, I have noticed a trace of the breath of the dragon clan."

A moment later, the slightly puzzled voice of Polygonum cuspidatum reached Lei Xiao's ears.

"The breath of the dragon clan? Could it be that the dragon has broken free from the seal?"

Lei Xiao frowned, and immediately asked: "But even if it breaks free from the seal, what does it have to do with the illusion?"

"My lord, this is exactly what is strange about my subordinates."

Hu Zhang bowed again, puzzled and said: "The subordinates can vaguely feel that the dragon doesn't seem to break free from the seal, but in this abnormal illusion, there is a trace of the breath of the dragon clan, which is slightly rippling in it."

"Does the abnormal illusion contain the breath of the dragon clan..."

I saw Chao Yan on the side, blinking her iconic big eyes for a long time, then suddenly realized: "My lord, my subordinates know what's going on, it's a dragon mirage!"

"Dragon mirage?"

Hearing this unfamiliar term, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and quickly signaled Chao Yan to continue.

"My lord, my subordinate also read about the dragon mirage in a dusty ancient book in the attic library of the Sorcerer Tower where everything is recorded."

Chaoyan's small face looked stern, and she responded faster: "Simply speaking, the so-called dragon mirage is a special illusion that is thousands of times rarer than the naturally formed mirage."

"As for the reason for its formation, in addition to extremely accidental special conditions, there is also a special condition that needs to be met, and that is the dream of the Dragon Clan itself!"

Chaoyan concluded with great certainty: "In other words, the dragon mirage is the materialization of the dragon's dream!"

"Is it a hallucination caused by a dream? It's interesting."

Lei Xiao suddenly nodded his head, and then asked: "So, the sealed dragon is still sleeping?"

"Lord Master, that's exactly the case."

Chao Yan nodded her head, and responded: "So, according to our previous plan, as long as we can go deep underground and suppress that giant dragon, everything will naturally be solved."

"Understood, it seems that the situation is not too bad."

Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and said to his subordinates: "Okay, let's take a closer look at what is so special about this rare dragon mirage that was formed under extremely accidental special conditions."
