Chapter 479： Disappearing Shiraoi

"Is the light of the magic tower not there?"

Hearing this, a thoughtful look appeared on Lei Xiao's face.

With the increasing understanding of the world, he clearly understood.

The so-called magic tower is the place where the magicians are stationed.

Most of these special buildings are used to supply magic power, and they are usually located in the central position of magic enchantments.

In addition, the tower is also inlaid with various functional magic arrays, such as maximizing the output of magic power, speeding up the recovery of magic power, and so on.

As for the difference between a magic barrier and a magic circle, it's quite simple.

The magic barrier is also known as a compound magic circle.

It itself is composed of complex numbers, or even hundreds of different types of magic circles, which are assembled through special connection methods.

Of course, although it is simple to say, every magic enchantment can be called a sophisticated magic machine.

Not only is it extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive to build, but also the debugging before the official launch and the maintenance after the operation require a lot of effort.

In addition, the magic tower is also divided into two types: the bright tower and the dark tower.

Just like the literal sense, Mingta is under everyone's eyes and can always play a role in deterring opponents.

The dark tower is in a hidden place. Like the hard-to-find detection magic enchantment, only when the enemy hits it head-on will they realize that something is wrong.

"From the orange and white words, we can know that this castle in the center of the fortress was originally covered with an efficient detection barrier, and the center is obviously a bright tower."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao looked up in the direction in which Jubai raised his head.

I saw that at the highest point of the entire castle, there was indeed a sharp square tower engraved with magic lines.

At present, this magic tower looks bleak, and there is no magician's breath, and it does not look like someone is inside.

"The magic tower is the key to the castle detection barrier. Why should the magician be removed and the entire barrier stop working?"

On the other side, Bert's expression became more and more solemn, and he asked Aogu in a deep voice.

"General Giant Axe does not know anything. According to the information obtained by the villain, the new elite spies of the Holy Night Army have very superb concealment skills. The existing detection barrier in the castle can hardly stop them."

I saw Aogu bowing slightly to Bert and responded: "Therefore, after the villain discussed with many magic staff in the fortress, he decided to strengthen the detection strength of the current enchantment, and it is estimated that it will be completed tomorrow."

Having said this, Ao Gu smiled slightly and added: "Of course, because the place where the old general Bai retreated is very hidden, no one else knows about it except the villain, so it will not be affected by the stop of the enchantment. ."

"So it is."

Hearing this, Bert and Ju Bai looked at each other, but stopped talking.

Since the current detection barrier has little effect on the enemy.

Then, if it was them, they would naturally make the same choice.

"If the two generals have no other problems, please go in with the villain and rest."

Seeing that the scene had calmed down again, Aogu continued to keep a smile on his face. While signaling the surrounding Leng Yan soldiers to open the castle gate, he bowed to Ariel and said, "Your Highness, please this way."

"It's work." Nodding slightly, Ariel said lightly.

Next, accompanied by the heavy rubbing sound of the giant castle's metal door opening.

Lei Xiao, who followed Ariel and the three into the castle, noticed.

Compared with the heavily guarded outside of the castle, the interior of the castle is obviously much cleaner. Except for the unarmed servants, there are hardly any guards to be seen.

In this way, we moved forward along the quaint and spacious corridor.

It didn't take long before August stopped in front of a large parlor.

I saw him welcoming the three of Ariel and the three of himself into the room, and said: "Your Highness, please wait here for a while, the villain will prepare the materials of the latest battle and report later. ."

After he finished speaking, Aogu left a team of soldiers to guard the entrance of the hall, but he closed the door gently and bowed to leave.

After Aogu left, Lei Xiao first vaguely instructed that the two people, the knotweed and Hong Ye, who were hidden under the cloak, checked the situation in the room and confirmed that there was nothing suspicious.

Immediately, he gestured for the knotweed to appear, and completely isolated the entire hall from the outside world with his breath.

In this way, one's own side in the room can still perceive the situation of the outside world normally, but the outside world cannot perceive the sound of one's own side at all.

Coupled with the soldiers guarding the door, the highest level is only the second rank, so naturally they can't find any clues.

"Aren't you a little too cautious? This is the realm of my cold flames."

Seeing this, Ariel, who had just been seated, frowned slightly and could not help but blurt out her debut.

"I said, my dear fifth princess, didn't you notice anything unusual?"

With a slight smile, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and immediately took out a set of tea sets and kettles that he came with, and under the heating of Chao Yan, he began to brew tea on his own.

"Abnormal? Are you talking about General Bai?"

Hearing this, Ariel's pale face suddenly showed a groaning look.

Thoughtfully said: "It is indeed difficult to understand the choice of the advanced fifth-order powerhouse at this time, but as Aogu said, if Bai Lao wants to deter the enemy, it is not without this possibility. ."

"However, if others choose to fight back at this time, there may be excuses, but Bai Lao, known as the general of the fortress, has always been known for his sophistication and stability."

On the other side, Orange White Willow frowned, and said, "This is also the main reason why the city that he is holding on has never fallen."

"That's right, Old General Bai would never take this risk easily."

Bert on the side also nodded in agreement.

"Then what you mean... Bai Lao does not actually have an advanced fifth-order powerhouse. All this is just a word of Aogu?"

Hearing this, Ariel's originally calm expression suddenly became a little nervous, and then said: "Where is the old Bai now?"

"There are two possibilities."

Nodding slightly to Ariel, Lei Xiao made himself a cup of tea and said, "The first one is a pretext made up by Ao Gu at the behest of Bai Lao, in order to cover up his whereabouts, such as his Currently in the Crusader camp."

"You mean that Bai Lao has rebelled?!"

I saw Ariel's expression of disbelief, and quickly asked, "What about the second possibility?"

"Second, it is naturally not Bai Lao who rebelled, but the deputy general Ao Gu. As for where Bai Lao is now, it is more obvious."

Looking directly at Ariel's star eyes, Lei Xiao paused and continued: "There are only two possibilities, he has been killed by deputy general Aogu, or he has been imprisoned somewhere."

"However, Bai Lao is the strength of a fourth-order peak powerhouse, and he is surrounded by guards like clouds. How can he be subdued by Aogu who has not yet reached the fourth-order senior powerhouse level?"

Hearing this, Ariel "Teng" stood up from her seat at once, her pale face full of disbelief.

After pondering for a moment, Ariel's slender eyelashes flickered, and she asked again: "In the end, all this is just your speculation, what is the substantive basis?"

"According to a total of three points."

Motioning for Chaoyan to hand Ariel a cup of steaming tea, Lei Xiao took a sip of the tea and responded, "The first point is what we have just mentioned, the strange behavior of Old Bai in Aogu's mouth."

He waved his hand lightly, signaling Ariel to stay calm, Lei Xiao continued: "The second point is the strange behavior of Aogu himself."

"August's weird behavior?"

Blinking her eyes in confusion, Ariel asked, "How do you say this?"

"When we first met, the other party chatted with us for a long time when the gate of the fortress was open, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to close the door. This is one of them."

Shaking the teacup in his hand lightly, Lei Xiao began to explain: "Also, the other party has never asked about the origin of those Leng Yan residents. This is the second one."

"Indeed, if you think about it carefully, those poor residents, after all, we rescued from the enemy's control area, there is no doubt that the Holy Night Army is disguised as a possibility. As an uninformed Aogu, he should ask some questions. ."

Hearing this, Ariel nodded thoughtfully.

"In addition, the face of the other party has always been filled with a relaxed smile. There is no commander with a heavy responsibility at all. The tension and caution that should be expected are the third."

Having said that, Lei Xiao drank the tea in it and immediately concluded: "Unless he clearly understands in his heart, the Holy Night Army will never attack the fortress now!"

"It makes some sense. When I talked to him, I always felt that there was something wrong with the other party. It was because of this reason."

She also took a sip of the hot tea in the cup, and Ariel, who was holding the white porcelain cup, nodded slightly: "At the moment of the enemy, this guy is obviously a little too nervous."

"As for the third point, and the last point, it's on you, the fifth princess."

Putting down the dry teacup, Lei Xiao looked directly at Ariel's star eyes, and spoke again.

"What do you mean by me?"

Hearing this, Ariel asked with a puzzled look on her delicate face.

"From the beginning of the meeting, Aogu never asked you about the origin of the two kingdom generals, but always invited you to go to this castle as soon as possible."

At this time, I saw Lei Xiao slowly pacing in the living room and continued: "It can be seen that what he cares about is not why you are here, but how to keep you here!"

"You mean that Aogu intends to do something to us?"

Hearing this, Ariel's expression became nervous again.

"That's right, using this mountain fortress and Leng Yan's fifth princess as a certificate, no matter whether the mastermind behind the scenes is Bai Lao or Aogu, it is enough to be promoted to the Holy Night Kingdom and enjoy the glory and wealth."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao responded lightly.

On the other side, while shocked, Ariel put down the teacup in her hand first.

He said again: "But, with your subordinates, on the bright side, we have four fourth-order powerhouses and two third-order peak powerhouses, so how could Aogu be an opponent?"

"Your Highness, the princess, is not good enough."

I saw that Burt first nodded at Lei Xiao, and then said: "Judging from the current situation, the powerhouse of the Holy Night Army must have penetrated here, and this can be seen from the magic tower where the light is not present. One or two."

"So, is the other party really going to attack me?"

Taking a deep breath, Ariel said with a stern expression, "How many strong people are there?"

"His Royal Highness, in this castle, in addition to the detection barrier just now, there are several powerful hidden barriers of varying sizes that can be used for concealment. Currently, they all seem to be operating normally."

On the other side, Ju Bai shook his head helplessly and said, "Therefore, naturally, it is impossible to perceive the specific number of powerhouses on the other side."

"Then our situation, isn't it extremely passive?"

Dai frowned, and Ariel spoke again.

"Don't worry, it's not that bad."

With a faint smile, Lei Xiao explained: "First of all, our arrival is an emergency, and there is no time for the other party to prepare in advance. Therefore, the number of Holy Night powerhouses here should not be too many."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "Secondly, since the other party has closed the hidden barrier and does not want to trigger the castle's alarm, it undoubtedly shows that most of the strong men and soldiers in the fortress are also kept in the dark. , from this, the other party will not have too many comrades Finally, it is also the most crucial point..."

Having said that, Lei Xiao patted the knotweed standing beside him respectfully, smiled faintly and said, "The other party would never have expected that there will be fifth-order powerhouses here with the most trump cards, so it is naturally foolproof. "

"Then, why don't we capture the thief first, capture the king first, strike first, and take down Aogu?"

Hearing this, Ariel's star eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait.

"At present, the mastermind behind the scenes is still unclear. If you do this, it is tantamount to frightening the snake. At the same time, it will also let go of the Holy Night Army powerhouse hidden in the dark."

Shaking his head slightly, Lei Xiao smiled indifferently and said: "As the so-called clever hunter, they often appear as prey. Since the other party wants to attack us, we will naturally take this opportunity to catch the other party."

After speaking, Lei Xiaoluo pondered for a while, and then said: "If I expected it right, the opponent will definitely choose to separate us as mercenaries from the three of you, and then defeat them one by one."

Having said this, Lei Xiao first nodded towards the burly man in front of him, and then continued to say to Ariel: "In a while, the knotweed will follow the three of you in the dark, and if there is an emergency, he will help and protect the You are worry-free."

"Understood... But, let the monstrous fifth-order powerhouse follow us. If the other party starts to attack you first, what will you do?"

Nodding slightly, Ariel couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"This point, don't bother Her Royal Highness Princess."

With a faint smile, Lei Xiao immediately said, "Then, let's work together to wipe out all the masterminds behind the scenes and the powerhouses of the Holy Night Army."
