Chapter 551 In Lan Leng Fort

In addition to being puzzled, Lei Xiao looked at Hu Zhang and Hong Ye with questioning eyes.

On the other side, the two immediately understood, closed their eyes and concentrated, and began to perceive.

However, after a while, the two fifth-rank powerhouses who opened their eyes again shook their heads slightly at Lei Xiao, obviously gaining nothing.

"There are no abnormal energy fluctuations?"

Frowning slightly, Lei Xiao, who was only a few dozen steps away from the gate of the city, first stood still under a big tree, and then asked softly.

In this position, not far from the group of people, there are already people coming and going, which is extremely lively.

Therefore, Lei Xiao's voice naturally did not attract the attention of other business travelers and residents passing by.

"My lord, from the perspective of breath distribution, the main city of Lan Leng Castle is not large, even much smaller than Kongqing Town. Most of the residents are scattered in farms in the surrounding suburbs. and in the orchard, so it is easy to perceive clearly."

Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Hu Zhang reported, "According to my subordinates' perception, there is only the aura of one fourth-level powerhouse and more than twenty third-level powerhouses here.

Among them, the fourth-tier powerhouses are located in the center of the city, while many third-tier powerhouses are mainly distributed on the streets inside and outside the city. Apart from this, there are no other suspicious energy fluctuations. "

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

Needless to say, the Tier 4 powerhouse mentioned in the mouth of the knotweed is obviously the Marquis Rose, the city lord here.

And such a number of third-tier powerhouses, in addition to local forces, should be other noble forces who came to purchase and escort drinks.

"Knotweed is right."

Hong Ye on the side nodded and echoed, "If there are really traces of monsters here, then their strength must be below the second-order level."

"How can a monster below the second level be in danger?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yan blinked her big eyes, and asked Bai Wei who was beside her in puzzlement, "Xiao Bai, did you smell it wrong?"

"Impossible, I do smell a strange beast body odor, that strange smell that is vaguely filled with horror, I will never make a mistake."

Shaking her head slightly, Bai Wei wrinkled her nose, sniffed the air for a long time, and said again: "Also, there seems to be only one."

However, as soon as she finished speaking, a look of doubt appeared on her fair face, and she told Lei Xiao, "My lord, the strange animal smell just now suddenly disappeared in the city..."

"Disappeared?"

Hearing the sound, the curious expression on Lei Xiao's face became more and more obvious.

He murmured in his heart: "According to the current clues, if this magical beast really exists, then its strength is below the second level, but it is very dangerous? This is an unheard of strange thing."

Slightly pursing his lips, Lei Xiao continued to think: "Besides, Bai Wei said at the end that the smell suddenly disappeared in the city. How can this be explained?"

"After all, even if it is killed, the smell will remain for a period of time. This is really incredible."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao turned his gaze back to the peaceful scene of people coming and going in front of him.

It can be seen that, if nothing else, this seemingly peaceful wine-making town obviously hides an unknown undercurrent.

"My lord, what should we do now?"

Hong Ye frowned slightly, bowed to Lei Xiao and asked.

"Let's go to the city according to the original plan. The main purpose of our coming this time is to find out the details of Lan Leng Castle, to see if it has fallen to a certain prince, and to control him as much as possible. This is not true. changing."

Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao continued: "As for the special situation that is currently happening, let's pay more attention and adapt to the situation."

"Obey, my lord!"

On the other side, all the subordinates gave orders softly.

Next, following the flow of cavalry entering the city, and stepping into the gate of the city wall of Lan Leng Fort, Lei Xiao noticed.

First of all, what appeared in front of him was a bustling commercial street.

On the street full of strong wine aroma, there is a lot of traffic and voices, and the shops on the left and right sides are mostly various pubs and liquor stores.

Besides the local residents, merchants, mercenaries, travelers and tourists, a considerable part of the people on the street are male and female nobles in all kinds of gorgeous costumes.

Observing carefully, I saw three or five servants standing respectfully behind these nobles, or three or five guards with sharp eyes.

They all stopped in front of a booth with oak barrels and parasols, and talked and laughed happily while tasting the fine wine in their glasses.

While pushing and changing glasses, the goblets in each hand swayed lightly, making the crystal clear wine in them rippling and shining brightly in the bright sunlight.

"It looks like a big open-air party."

Seeing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help admiring secretly in his heart.

Among these aristocrats, there are many senior third-tier powerhouses and third-tier peak powerhouses, whose strength can be said to be quite impressive.

However, for Lei Xiao and his group, whose strength is at the top of the third tier and possesses multiple concealment methods, they naturally do not pose any threat.

In the process of advancing on the busy street, Lei Xiao noticed further.

After tasting the good wine of a certain shop, many rich and powerful nobles often took out a heavy money bag from the storage ring, threw it on the counter of the shop owner at will, and started to buy.

This scene of throwing a lot of money caused many passing travelers, mercenaries and civilians to let out low exclamations and chat with each other in low voices.

Most of the content in it is based on the family crest on the chest of the nobleman, discussing the origin and history of the nobleman.

Lei Xiao just laughed it off and didn't even look at it a second time.

For him who sells box after box of golden dragons, these purse-level purchases are obviously too low-end.

"Bai Wei, can you still smell that strange smell just now?"

When the group passed through the busiest neighborhood and came to a corner where there was little traffic, Lei Xiao asked again with a frown.

"Go back to the lord, the subordinates have sniffed it carefully, and there is no trace of the unique and dangerous monster smell just now, which is simply unbelievable."

On the other side, on Bai Wei's fair face, a pair of azure blue star pupils flickered, revealing a puzzled expression.

"Forget it, let's do the main thing first."

Gently patted Bai Wei's thin shoulder, Lei Xiao said to the other subordinates: "Go, go directly to the City Lord's Mansion here."

"Obey, my lord."

Hearing the sound, all the subordinates bowed and responded in unison.

In this way, move forward along the neatly repaired road, after passing through several blocks and residential areas.

An extremely ornately built castle caught the eyes of the group.

Looking at it at a glance, it is different from most of the simple and simple castles in that the whole body of this castle is actually painted with bright rose red, which is very magnificent in Baroque style.

The surface of the castle is engraved with all kinds of exquisite wall carvings and gold-inlaid lace, which looks jeweled and unforgettable.

"What an unconventional castle, this is simply a non-mainstream in the world of swords and magic."

Looking up at the dazzling rose-colored castle in front of him, Lei Xiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, and secretly exclaimed in his heart.

On the other side, Ariel snorted with extreme disdain, and muttered in a low voice: "Tch, this color is simply inexplicable."

Immediately afterwards, after thinking of the face of Marquis Rose, Ariel shivered involuntarily, but stopped talking.

Next, under the leadership of Lei Xiao, the group walked straight to the Lord's Mansion of Lan Lengbao without hesitation.

As for how to figure out the Marquis Rose's position, Lei Xiao finally chose the most simple and direct way after discussing with his subordinates, that is, knocking the mountain to shake the tiger.

Directly reveal the identities of Ariel Lengyan's fifth princess and Princess Keqing, first to see how the other party reacts, and then wait for the opportunity.

In the extremely limited space of the castle, with the strong combat power of one's own side, it is natural to be able to easily defeat it with force, making all the strategies that the opponent may implement useless.

"Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Fang Hai, A Ling, A Bing, the seven of you are lurking near the castle, always pay attention to the surrounding movements, and report to me as soon as possible if there is any situation, and if once inside the castle If there is an accident, I will inform you as soon as possible.”

When we came to a hidden place in a dark alley near the City Lord's Mansion, Lei Xiao groaned for a moment, and then ordered to his subordinates: "And I, Knotweed, Hong Ye, Ariel, Burt, Ju Bai, and Bai Wei are directly Show your identity and enter the castle."

"Obey! Your lord!"

Hearing Lei Xiao's deployment, all the subordinates bowed in unison and said in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on Bai Wei, a pair of white fluffy and prominent ears above his head.

This time, the reason why Lei Xiao wanted to bring Bai Wei was to further clarify the source of the mysterious and strange dangerous monster.

It is not difficult to imagine that the best hiding place in this city is undoubtedly the heavily guarded City Lord's Mansion.

If that mysterious monster is once related to Marquis Rose.

Then, Bai Wei, who is recognized as a snow wolf clan with an extremely sensitive sense of smell, is very likely to startle the snake.

And the illusion cloak that can hide Bai Weixue's identity as a wolf clan cannot take effect on Marquis Rose, who is a powerhouse of the fourth rank.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help feeling a little bit in a dilemma.

"My lord, if you want to continue to hide sister Baiwei's identity from the Snow Wolf clan, this subordinate has a good solution."

On the other side, seeing Lei Xiao's concerns, Ariel smiled mysteriously, and then spoke.

"oh?"

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up, and he nodded to signal the other party to continue talking.

"Then it's natural to use this object."

Immediately afterwards, Ariel's mind moved, and an exquisite gray silk mask appeared on the palm of her hand.

Smiling at Lei Xiao, Ariel explained: "My lord, this thing is called [Illusion Mask], and its effect is almost the same as [Illusion Cloak], both of which can be used as camouflage."

Handing the mask respectfully to Lei Xiao, Ariel continued: "However, unlike [Illusion Cloak] which can completely change body shape and clothing, [Illusion Mask] can only change the wearer's appearance .

Moreover, except for the fifth-order powerhouse, almost no one can see the clues of [Illusion Mask]. "

Speaking of this, Ariel puffed out her tall chest again, and said quite proudly: "My lord, this mask is extremely rare, and it will definitely be of great help to my lord!"

"I see, it's perfect."

Feeling the smooth texture of the thin silk mask in his hand, Lei Xiao casually opened its attribute bar.

[Name: Illusion Mask]

[Grade: Tier 4 Epic (Purple)]

[Defense Strength: None]

[Additional effect: Tier 4 Disguise Technique "Every time you wear it, your appearance will be changed randomly, and it will take effect on powerhouses of Tier 4 and below"]

[Remarks: The illusion mask personally enchanted by the fourth-level illusionist of the Lengyan Kingdom, Master Jinwen, is very difficult to enchant, so there are very few existing ones, and it is only for the Lengyan royal family. 】

Just when Lei Xiao saw this.

Ariel continued: "By the way, my lord, the subordinates of this mask have brought out three pieces from the palace, and they were given to Lord Bert and Lord Jubai before."

After Ariel finished speaking, as if asking for credit, she handed the other two identical [Illusion Masks] to Lei Xiao respectfully.

"Ariel, you have made a great contribution this time."

While speaking, Lei Xiao had already put three [Illusion Masks] into the space bracelet, and immediately started upgrading.

[Congratulations, your "Fourth-Tier Mask: Illusion Mask" has been upgraded to "Fourth-Tier Mask: Illusion Mask" 102 pairs! 】

[Congratulations, your "Fourth-Tier Mask: Illusion Mask" has been upgraded to "Fourth-Tier Mask: Illusion Mask" 103 pairs! 】

[Congratulations, your "Fourth-Tier Mask: Illusion Mask" has been upgraded to "Fifth-Tier Mask: Miracle Mask"! 】

"Two quantitative changes and one qualitative change?"

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, with a thought in his mind, he opened the attribute bar of the new fifth-order mask.

[Name: Miracle Mask]

[Grade: Tier 5 Extraordinary (Silver)]

[Defense Strength: None]

[Additional effect: Tier 5 Disguise Technique "every time you wear it, you will change your appearance randomly, and it will take effect on powerhouses of Tier 5 and below"]

[Remarks: The miraculous mask can transform into a different appearance every time it is worn. It is said that its previous owner was a famous thief with a thousand faces. 】

"That's right, this way, I'm the Lord of Thousand Faces, and when I need to hide my identity, this mask is perfect!"

Looking at the introduction on the attribute bar, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of joy on his face.

Compared with the illusion cloak, although the illusion mask cannot change the body shape.

However, a higher class can undoubtedly play an irreplaceable role of camouflage in certain occasions, such as the current situation.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then under Ariel's disbelieving gaze.

A stack of neatly stacked illusion masks was distributed to all the subordinates present one by one.
