Chapter 1270 Surprise and Doubt
In the magnificent and simple Lion's Castle, Lei Xiao, who had just returned from Glow City, was sitting on the throne in the King's Hall, carefully studying the invitation to the Movie Fair in his hand.
On the surface of the pure black and frosted invitation, a few lines of text were described in golden common human characters, exactly as Orr said.
"Dear Your Excellency Lei Xiao, the savior of the human race, the Holy Lion Prince, and the lord of the alien world, we are honored to invite you and your guards to participate in the cinephile market in the near future. The specific date will be automatically revealed one week before the market opens. Looking forward to meeting you."
"Your Majesty Lei Xiao, congratulations on your coronation as emperor! The specific date for the opening of the market is one week after your majesty's grand emperor's coronation ceremony. The venue will be the entrance to the Upside Down Canyon. We look forward to your majesty's visit!"
"Lord, the Movie Market actually anticipated your coronation ceremony?"
Beside Lei Xiao, Ariel looked at the words on the invitation, her starry eyes blinked again and again: "This is too surprising."
Ariel, who was guarding Lei Xiao, clearly understood that when the lord received the invitation, the human world had just emerged from the shadow of countless raging roots, and had not even surrendered.
But the other party not only expected that the lord would be crowned the emperor of the human race, but also accurately guessed the specific date, which was simply unbelievable.
"Is it possible that the other party has powerful prophecy ability?"
Al, who was in the next position, was also full of doubts and couldn't help blurting out.
As soon as Orr said this, the other subordinates present were surprised and pondered.
You know, even the powerful tribes who stand at the pinnacle of strength cannot achieve this level. Otherwise, wouldn’t the truth of the catastrophe have come to light long ago?
Noticing the surprise of his subordinates, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
According to my own investigation, whether it is the dark elf clan that Erza and Teresa belong to, the red dragon clan that Hongye belongs to, or the forest elf clan that Jiang Li once belonged to, there is no specific information about the cataclysm in the prophecy. content.
Not only that, even Wang Xi, who has the gift of prompting, cannot know the truth about the catastrophe.
In addition, among the lords of other worlds, there are also some people who have talents similar to diviners.
But what they saw were mostly traceable things like weather changes, where certain monsters lived, the ebb and flow of tides, and the specific locations of plants.
As for the Cataclysm, all that is felt is endless blood, hysterical screams, and fear from the heart. Everything else is an endless and bottomless chaos.
"This undoubtedly means that the future is still in my hands. If there is some kind of power that can forcefully change all this, it is obviously beyond the scope of human beings."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, Ariel was obviously aware of this and blurted out: "The lord once speculated that the Mianying Market itself is a place of gods. Could it be said that there are still gods there?"
After hearing Ariel's words, the subordinates present were even more surprised and nodded one after another, obviously holding the same view.
If the other party could really predict the lord's coronation ceremony, I'm afraid only the gods could do it.
"Perhaps the other party did not expect my coronation ceremony, but it just made it more unpredictable."
Lei Xiao turned over the invitation letter in his hand, raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Although the invitation letter has always been in our hands, the time when the subsequent words appeared on it was after my coronation ceremony, so the answer is naturally It goes without saying.”
"What the lord said makes sense. The other party probably just saw the lord's coronation ceremony, and then used some method to fill in the subsequent text on the invitation."
Jiang Li gently rubbed her white chin and said thoughtfully: "This point can also be seen from the initial text. If the other party had already expected that the lord would be crowned emperor, then naturally there would be more in the title. Give birth to your Majesty the Emperor."
After listening to Lei Xiao and Jiang Bei's speculations, the atmosphere of doubt in the King's Hall disappeared.
"However, even if the other party is not a god, he is still an extremely mysterious existence with bottomless strength."
Lei Xiao's expression did not relax, and he said solemnly: "After all, it can not only mobilize those peak forces, but also play the role of trade protector and supervisor in the middle, which can be seen from this."
"What the Lord Lord said is absolutely true. For those peak forces that even have sixth-level powerhouses everywhere, if they don't have the corresponding strength, they will never be invited to go to the Movie Enchantment Market."
Garth, who had been fortunate enough to participate in a cinephile market, stepped forward and echoed: "My subordinates have seen several market guards in the cinephile market back then."
"Although the opponent is wearing heavy armor and a face protector, and his specific face cannot be seen, the vast aura he exudes is far from comparable to that of a fifth-level powerhouse. He has obviously reached the sixth level."
There was a hint of confusion in Garth's resolute eyes, and he added: "Moreover, the market that my subordinates participated in was only on the periphery of the Movie Enchantment Market. There was no way to go to the real core area. It is said that only those who possess rare treasures can Participants are only eligible to trade there after passing the market review.”
"Yes, the situation I encountered is similar."
Another Rose King, Esther, who had also participated in the cinephile market, nodded and said: "Even my teacher is not qualified to go to the core area of the market, and I have seen several teams of market guards. All of them are existences that clearly surpass the fifth-level powerhouses.”
After listening to the words of the two former participants, the atmosphere in the hall became solemn.
Just from the fact that there are several teams of sixth-level market guards, it can be seen that the Cinematic Market is indeed unfathomable.
"Lord, will it be dangerous for you to be invited to the Movie Fair?"
Ariel couldn't help but have a trace of worry on her fair face, and she held her clothes tightly.
"Your Majesty the Queen, the reason why the Cinematic Market has been able to stand for three thousand years and still be favored by all races is because of its own strength, credibility and reputation. This means that there is almost no danger in the market."
Garth nodded to Ariel and said: "Furthermore, all the forces invited to participate in the meeting have been strictly screened by the market. As long as there is a problem, they will be blacklisted by the market. , Over the years, those who can stay will attach great importance to their own reputation, and it is difficult to covet others. "
"Just like what Garth said, I have already considered this carefully. The human race has been abandoned by all races for a long time. It is recognized as an insignificant existence. With the arrogance and prejudice of those peak races, it is impossible to treat them as such. Your mind is on me.”
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, smiled faintly and said: "Furthermore, after integrating the resources of the human world, I have many new trump cards, as well as Yoniel, Hui Lao, Xiaojie, Half-step Sixth Level Louise, Diana, and all the guardians are not fragile."
"Besides that, I have this thing."
Lei Xiao turned his palm up, and a fist-sized light gray crystal emerged. It was the teleportation cornerstone upgraded from the teleportation crystal.
"Before leaving, I will activate another cornerstone bound to this teleportation cornerstone, and deploy various defensive measures such as magic traps in advance. If an accident occurs, the teleportation gate will be opened immediately."
"As long as we arrive at the predetermined location through the teleportation gate, and then destroy the teleportation cornerstone at the predetermined location, the other party will naturally be unable to track it. And if the other party follows us, it's time to activate the trap."
Having said that, a hint of murderous intent appeared on Lei Xiao's face. Although the human race's combat power was weak, it was more than enough to kill a few pursuers with the combined strength of the human race.
The most important thing is that Lei Xiao clearly understands that in the face of the hope of restoring the land of gods, he has to go.
After all, the role of the land of gods is self-evident. Otherwise, before the unknown comes, I will not be able to complete the expected suppression and comprehensive defense of the "fortress" in the limited time, and the result will be death.
After hearing Lei Xiao's calculations, Ariel breathed a sigh of relief, but her frowning eyebrows did not completely relax. Instead, she spoke again: "Lord, there is one more thing that I am very concerned about. That’s where the rally takes place: at the entrance to Upside Down Canyon.”
As soon as Ariel said this, everyone present nodded.
The Upside Down Canyon is not far from the human world. It is located between the brutal aliens and the Misty Dream Canyon where the elves are.
To be more precise, this is obviously too close to the human world.
In addition, the Upside Down Canyon itself is also a very special area.
The gravity there is inexplicably abnormal. Not only are there many large rocks and gravel suspended in mid-air all year round, but even the water flows in the opposite direction toward the sky, which is why it is called "upside down."
"Lord, although the Upside Down Canyon is well-known in the outside world and is a wonder that many powerful people will stop to take a look at when passing by, it is filled with violent energy particles affected by gravity, so that the energy field in many places is unbalanced and produces There is a special energy vortex that is difficult to detect, and it will even tear into pieces the fifth-level powerhouse who is caught off guard. It is obviously not a good place to hold a market. "
Erza stood up from the main and subordinate team and echoed: "No matter how you think about it, the Cinephilia Fair should not be held here."
After Erza said this, Garth and Esther also expressed their agreement.
Although the locations of the cinephilia markets that the two of them participated in were different, they were all located in the center of the Outland. They were all peaceful and peaceful areas with easy access to all directions, making it easy for the forces who accepted the invitation to go.
But this time, no matter from every aspect, it is obviously completely different from the previous situation, and it can even be said to be incredible.
Hearing the worries of his subordinates, Lei Xiao also frowned slightly.
This was exactly what I was thinking about when I was overjoyed at the beginning. The location of this cinephile market was really weird.
Judging from the not-so-distant area, it seemed as if it was specially prepared for myself. Why it was chosen at the entrance of the Upside Down Canyon, which can be called a dead place, is even more puzzling.
"Lord, what is going on?"
Noticing the confusing atmosphere in the hall, even Chao Yan, who had been slipping away, had a puzzled face, tilted his head and said, beside her, there was Louise, who was also confused, and made the same action.
"We don't know that yet."
Lei Xiao looked at the pair of living treasures in the mist. He smiled helplessly at first, and then said seriously: "But no matter what, this is the hope of restoring the land of gods, and it is also a key step for us to contact the outside world. Even if There is a fog ahead, and there is no reason for us to retreat.”
"Lord, no matter how you think about it, it is too abnormal. Do you think this invitation is possibly a fake?"
Jiang Li pondered for a moment, then asked again with raised eyebrows.
"It is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out, but it is very slim. If it is true, it must be a well-designed trap. Then the other party can arrange everything properly and directly inform us of the specific date for us to take the bait. There is no need to tell us a week in advance."
Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, nodded slightly and said: "Taking a step back, if it is really a trap, we must not let the unstable factor of the mastermind behind it go, and we must completely eliminate it."
After that, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then ordered Louise, Xiaojie, Jiang Li and other main power players to go to the vicinity of the Upside Down Canyon with powerful trump cards to conduct reconnaissance and surveillance, just in case something happened, and Jiang Li secretly built a transmission signal mark to facilitate the rotation of the strong ones.
The energy near the Upside Down Canyon is extremely chaotic and densely covered with giant rocks. As long as the main subordinates are careful, even senior sixth-level experts will find it difficult to detect clues.
After arranging everything properly, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.
Regardless of whether the invitation to the cinephile market was real or fake, I had to go this time.
"I have to say, this is really a letter full of mystery."
Looking at the pure black invitation exuding frosted brilliance in his hand, Lei Xiao's eyes were solemn and filled with curiosity.
If this is false, it can explain these strange things. But if this is true, it is really hard to imagine why the cinephile market does this.
In addition, Lei Xiao is also extremely interested in who, or which one of the ten thousand races controls the cinephile market.
After all, according to Gals and Esther, the master behind the cinephile market is extremely mysterious. Even the powerful people from various races participating in the meeting may not know this secret.
"That's all, by then everything will naturally clear away the clouds and see the blue sky."
Lei Xiao put down the invitation and nodded thoughtfully.
There was still a week left before the date on the invitation letter. During this period, there was one more thing he needed to do, which was to command the human army to eliminate the enemies entrenched around him as soon as possible.
