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

Chapter 926 The Thing from the Deep Underground

"At that time, the subordinates who tried their best to stand in front of His Majesty Roy could no longer condense their energy barriers, so they had to watch with their own eyes the flickering ax blade roaring towards him, on his white armor soaked in bright red. It sparked a series of dazzling sparks, piercing like the scythe of death."

The calm voice of the white knight gradually became unstable.

"In the end, the ax blade roared and successfully tore through the subordinate's armor. It pierced through the subordinate's flesh and blood with great force, cut tendons and bones, and knocked the subordinate into the air."

"To this day, my subordinates still clearly remember the ferocious laughing face of the opponent, as well as His Majesty Roy's bloodshot eyes and powerless hand."

"Then, the subordinates who fell heavily to the ground saw darkness in front of them, and almost lost any sense of consciousness. Even the sounds of fierce fighting mixed with wailing and wild laughter gradually faded away, as if they had descended one layer after another. The door panel on the first floor is average."

There was a touch of weakness in the white knight's voice, and he continued to describe the past thousands of years ago.

"I don't know how long it took, just when the subordinate felt that the last door was about to close, and everything was about to completely melt into nothingness, a sudden loud noise suddenly awakened the subordinate from the darkness."

"The subordinate tried his best to raise his heavy eyelids, and found that the surroundings were like erupting craters, and lava flows were constantly gushing out from the ground, slow and deadly."

"The slowly surging magma, like wriggling red pythons, soon covered the garden of the palace, the broken fountain, the broken sword blade, and the corpses of the soldiers, until it flowed to the In front of my subordinates."

"The blazing heat that is close at hand distorts the air, and the extremely high temperature that rushes towards us seems to melt everything, just like a giant red python opening its bloody mouth, which is still fresh in the memory of the subordinates."

"As for the subordinate who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he couldn't move his body at all, so he could only accept the judgment of fate."

Having said that, the white knight slowly took a deep breath, obviously adjusting his emotions.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

When he went to the ruins of King Loren's capital for the second time, through Fang Hai's ancestor Xiao Er's narration, Lei Xiao had already learned about it.

At that time, King Loren's capital, which was besieged in an isolated city, was forced to use a special magic power conversion secret method from the dwarves. Only then did it use the absolute defensive barrier covering the city to resist the alliance army's iron hooves for half a year. Long.

And the core of this special magical power conversion secret method is to use the power of violent lava surging deep underground to obtain a continuous supply of energy.

However, although this conversion secret method is very effective, it has a major flaw, that is, it is extremely unstable.

In the end, the cunning opponent aimed at this instability, inputting a large amount of magic power into the lava field deep underground, causing the magic power conversion barrier to suddenly overload.

In turn, a big explosion was triggered, directly turning the city wall and a quarter of the city into ruins.

It was also because of this that the opponent's army was able to drive straight in, and entered King Loren's capital without hindrance.

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then asked: "White Knight, so the explosion you saw was the aftermath of the first shocking explosion, right?"

"That's right, my lord. At that time, my subordinates instinctively felt that the lava was filled with chaotic and violent power, and it was definitely not a product of magic."

The white knight nodded, and responded: "But even in that shocking explosion, no magma flowed out directly. After all, the depths of the ground are too far away from the ground, and only the magic storm formed by the explosion surged out. The city was instantly reduced to ruins."

"That's true. The explosion deep underground will never directly affect the surface. If it does, let alone a city, I'm afraid this vast land will cease to exist."

Jiang Li nodded thoughtfully, and echoed: "The distance between the lava layer and the surface is like an untouchable sky or an abyss under the sea, separated by a distance that even a fifth-order earth mage cannot reach." The broken hard compartment cannot be directly reached at all."

"It is said that only the sixth-level earth magister and the dwarves who are good at digging can reach the depths of the lava."

Jiang Li frowned slightly, and said doubtfully: "And there are no volcanoes in Loren King's Capital. It stands to reason that the magma deep in the ground will never flow out of the surface."

"That's right, but at the time I was dying, I almost stopped thinking, and I didn't have the energy to think about it until I saw that unforgettable scene."

The white knight nodded to Jiang Li, then turned to Lei Xiao again, and continued to describe the scene at that time.

"My lord, the moment the hot magma that was rolling in was about to touch my subordinates, my subordinates were surprised to find that the fiery magma flow that was originally crimson turned into a deep blue in an instant and began to crystallize rapidly. , until it formed a skull-sized, floating round dark blue object."

"It seems to be a creature, but it doesn't have any facial features. It looks like an eyeball, or an octopus monster that has lost its tentacles. The dark blue energy flow is constantly surging, reflecting the outline of an organ. , it’s amazing.”

"The unknown creature had just condensed into a solid body, so it looked at the subordinate curiously, and the subordinate immediately felt a bone-piercing cold, as if the only remaining blood in the body had frozen in an instant."

"At this point, the subordinates realized that the continuous flow of magma was definitely not caused by the explosion, but that the explosion disturbed the unknown creatures deep underground, which made the other party come out to check."

Having said this, the White Knight's voice began to tremble uncontrollably.

"To tell you the truth, Lord Lord, the feeling of being stared at by strange creatures is extremely terrifying, like facing an indescribable bottomless abyss, as if an endless fall will strike immediately."

"The other party just stood there without doing anything, but the subordinate was so shocked that he couldn't help himself. Although the subordinate had only breathed a sigh of relief at that time, he had already faced everything calmly, but he couldn't restrain his fear, and he still couldn't stop it. come to mind."

The white knight paused for a while, and then slowly added: "My lord, although I can't fully describe all the feelings at that time in words, what is certain is that it is a fear beyond death."

"Are you free from the fear of death?"

Hearing what the white knight said, Lei Xiao nodded his head and said: "I didn't expect such a terrible thing to exist deep in the bottom of our feet."

While being surprised in his heart, Lei Xiao frowned tightly.

From the description of the white knight, it is not difficult to see that this unknown creature is obviously able to merge with the magma, and even itself is a part of the magma.

From this point alone, it is enough to prove that it is by no means an ordinary thing.

The most important thing is that the white knight is a fifth-level powerhouse at the national level who is not afraid of life and death, and it can still make him feel the bone-chilling chill beyond death.

"Is it like facing an indescribable endless abyss?"

"It seems that this different world full of mysteries is definitely not what it appears on the surface. Perhaps the real chaos has long been hidden in the depths."

Lei Xiao took a deep breath slowly, and a hint of curiosity appeared on his face again.

Although I don't know what that mysterious creature is, what is certain is that its strength must be extremely astonishing, which makes even a strong man like the White Knight terrified.

"The size of the head, it looks like an eyeball, and it looks like an octopus that has lost all its tentacles... It's really an imaginative description."

"Is this a kind of divine creation, or is it a part of a god, or is it simply a certain god itself?"

"But if it has something to do with the gods, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be interested in the white knight."

"After all, before the blank age, the gods once had a honeymoon period with all races, and lived together in harmony for a long time."

"However, there is no absolute in everything. Perhaps everything is really related to the gods, and there may be some reason for it."

"Besides, is this thing only one or a group? Does it only exist on this continent where I am, or does it exist in every corner of this world? Will it have some potential connection with the coming of us lords? ?”

"This brings us back to the old question, what is the meaning of the coming of us lords?"

Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly, and brought his thoughts back to reality.

At this stage, although everything is still in the fog and lacks the necessary clues to explore the truth, what can be confirmed is.

Since this unknown creature from the depths of the ground can easily come to the surface, it has been living in peace with all races.

Even when the Union Army caused the explosion of the lava layer, there is no record of retaliation, which is enough to prove that it is not the aggressive type.

This means that as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke, at least there is no threat to the territory.

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao groaned for a moment, and immediately asked the white knight: "So, the dark blue crystal on your body, or the reason why you have been active in the present, is because of this unknown thing." ?”

"That's right, Lord Lord, the dark blue crystal that has been integrated with his subordinates is a part of that unknown creature."

The white knight's voice became calm again, and he continued to describe.

"In the burning palace, in the corner of the scorching battlefield where the blue magma and red magma meet, when the unknown creature stared at the subordinate for a while, an indescribable voice came to the subordinate's ear."

"It seemed to be someone's raving in a nightmare, or the rustling sound of countless insects crawling past the ears, or the piercing sound of sharp objects scratching the frosted surface, saying to the subordinates: "Hey, Willing to live on? Of course, there is a price to pay.”

"Accompanied by this sudden voice, it reverberated in the subordinate's mind. Although the subordinate was terrified, he still tried his best to make a nod."

"At that time, the Kingdom of Loren was at a critical juncture, and as the Apocalypse Knights who guarded the kingdom, my subordinates naturally had a duty to do so. If I could continue to fight, even if I signed a contract with the devil, my subordinates would not hesitate."

"Then, the subordinates only felt the world spinning for a while, and then they lost consciousness."

Speaking of this, the white knight's voice clearly revealed a trace of loss, as if what he described next made him very regretful.

"During the process of losing consciousness, the subordinates are not always in a state of complete coma, but are sometimes half asleep and half awake."

"In that hazy state, the subordinates felt that they seemed to be suspended in nothingness, and seemed to be in some kind of warm body, which can be described as very weird."

"I don't know how long it took, but when my subordinate opened his eyes again, he was already in a ruined wall that was overgrown with weeds but seemed familiar."

"The bright sunshine overhead is dazzling and warm, and the breeze blowing in front of you is soft and comfortable. This subordinate knows that this subordinate is back."

"After fully adapting to the light from the outside world, the subordinate found that the broken armor on his body was gone, and the body that was almost cut off by the ax blade had recovered, and even the scars could not be seen."

"But before the subordinates had time to rejoice, they suddenly realized that the surrounding ruins were the remains of King Loren's Palace!"

"Looking around, the eyes are full of desolation. The former royal palace has been covered by jungle, which undoubtedly means that the subordinates have spent a long time."

"Loss, powerlessness, remorse, anger and other emotions rushed into the subordinate's mind. Although the unknown thing repaired the subordinate's body, it also made the subordinate miss everything."

"The sound of fierce fighting and the enemy's grinning laughter still echoed in my ears. The once mighty and glorious kingdom of knights and the menacing alliance army disappeared in an instant, and only my subordinates remained."

The white knight shook his head with a wry smile, his voice full of bitterness and helplessness.

Hearing what the white knight said, Lei Xiao immediately saw the former sitting on the ground blankly, looking at the surrounding scene in a daze.

It was hard for Lei Xiao to imagine what kind of expression he would make if he were sitting there.

Immediately afterwards, the voice of the white knight came to Lei Xiao's ears again.

"At that time, there was only one question in the mind of the subordinates. Since the kingdom they once guarded has been reduced to ruins, what is the meaning of surviving as guardians?"

"With this question in mind, the subordinates are like walking corpses, starting to wander among the ruins."

"Along the way, the bustling and familiar streets and alleys of the past and the barren and dilapidated ruins of today complement each other in the memory of this subordinate, until the subordinate finds a small dark blue spar inlaid on his forehead."

"After many attempts, the subordinate learned that the crystal was actually connected to the subordinate's skull and could not be removed at all."

"At this point, the subordinates realized that this is the price of repairing the body, although the subordinates at that time did not know what this price meant."

The white knight sighed heavily, the story has come to an end.

"In the end, my subordinates found the answer they wanted in the ruins. The ruins are also the continuation of that glorious era, so what continues may not be just the ruins."

"The subordinates want to find the descendants of Loren's royal family, and will continue to protect them."

"With this belief in mind, my subordinate left the ruins and came to the nearest city, Lan Leng Fort. Only then did I learn that more than 500 years have passed since the war of destroying the country."
