Chapter 1176 The Lord and the Old King
Just as the abrupt and excited old voice fell, a burly figure stood beside the wolf-shaped fountain and opened his arms.
The old voice immediately sounded again: "My son, come here quickly and let your father take a good look at you."
Surprised, Lei Xiao held the sword across his chest, focused his mind, and looked at the owner of the old voice.
The other party was wearing a simple silver armor and a red velvet robe, and his old face was full of kindness and gentleness.
The most eye-catching thing was that the other party wore a golden crown engraved with a wolf head emblem on his head, shining with a glittering brilliance.
Coupled with what the group had seen before, it was not difficult to judge that this sudden old king was the owner of this dark castle and even the entire lost ancient kingdom.
"Protect the Lord!"
The three fifth-level subordinates, including Tiger Stick, who were near the fountain, had no time to think about anything else and immediately surrounded the other party. Louise and the four stone elves followed closely and formed a second encirclement.
Needless to say, Jiang Xi, who was guarding Lei Xiao, even Catherine, White and other Grimm generals subconsciously surrounded Lei Xiao.
"The other party did not show any killing intentions. Let's see what happens."
Lei Xiao observed for a moment, nodded to everyone, and then raised his voice and asked the other party: "Old sir, are you saying that your offspring exists here?"
"My son Allen, what do you mean?"
The sudden appearance of the old king obviously also noticed something strange, looking at Lei Xiao with a puzzled look on his face and said: "I am your father, you won't forget your father after going out to sea, right?"
Seeing this, everyone finally reacted. It seems that the other party regards Lei Xiao as his own offspring.
For a moment, everyone frowned in astonishment and confusion, while Lei Xiao himself was in tears and laughter.
Good man, when did he have a king father?
Although this may be something that many commoners and even nobles dream of, for his current status, the identity of a prince is obviously not very tempting.
"Old sir, please watch your words!"
Although he saw the crown on the other party's forehead, White still thought it was a good opportunity to show his loyalty to Lei Xiao, and hurriedly introduced him righteously: "The big man standing in front of you is His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince of the Cold Flame Kingdom, not your heir..."
Before White finished speaking, Lei Xiao stepped forward and gently patted the former's shoulder, indicating that he should not be too excited.
In any case, the other party is likely to be our hope to leave here.
Although he does not seem to be very clear-headed, if he can communicate normally, it is obviously much better to be friends than to be enemies.
"Old sir, please take a closer look."
Lei Xiao's face was full of patience, and he smiled and said, "Although I can see that you are eager to see him, I'm sorry, I'm not the person you are looking for."
"Your body is rippling with thunder-attributed energy fluctuations and divine power. Not only is you a son of God who practices both magic and martial arts, but you are also with Rolandel. I will never make a mistake!"
The old king's wrinkled face showed a trace of certainty, and he said anxiously, "How could you not be Allen?"
"The other party also knows the sword in my hand?"
After listening to the old king's words, Lei Xiao was stunned, and then subconsciously opened Rolandel's attribute column.
[Name: Rolandel]
[Grade: Fifth-order Supernatural (Silver)]
[Attack Strength: Five Stars]
[Additional Effect 1: Immortal Blade "Never wears out, this sword cannot be damaged under any conditions"]
[Additional Effect 2: Angel Blade "Increases damage to dark attribute enemies by 100%"]
[Remarks: In the Solar Era, one of the three sacred artifacts of a lost empire, also known as the Sword of Eternity, was thrown into a lake after the death of its original owner.
In the Silver Moon Era, the founder of the Silver Fire Kingdom, the first Silver Fire King, found it again, and finally collected the three sacred artifacts, becoming the symbol of the royal family of the Silver Fire Kingdom.
Until the destruction of the Silver Fire Kingdom, this sword was carried by the young Prince of Griffin, Prince Allen. ]
"Has the remark really been updated? It seems that what the other party said is true."
Lei Xiao looked at the text in the attribute column and nodded thoughtfully.
In this way, the matter is very clear.
That old king should be the last Silver Fire King, and the son he mentioned was naturally Prince Griffin Allen.
"This Rolandel was not found in the ruins, but upgraded from a fourth-level long sword. I didn't expect such a coincidence."
"By the way, I remember the Dragon Slayer Sword given to Tiger Staff at the beginning."
"Through my observations, I have further discovered that after the same equipment has undergone a qualitative change in batches, although most of them are still exactly the same and are similar to those before the upgrade in many places, a small part of them will be completely different, with obvious changes in appearance, texture, and color."
"From this, it can be inferred that my golden finger talent is not created directly out of thin air in violation of the law of conservation of magic power, but "replaced" through some rules, or simply restored the equipment to its peak state. "
"But if that's the case, the qualitative change is easier to explain, it's "replacement" based on existing equipment, then how to explain the quantitative change?"
"You know, my equipment reserves obviously exceed the normal level of the human countries. It is impossible to "replace" based on existing equipment on this land, because there are not so many ready-made equipment."
"Could it be that my "replacement" is not limited to this land, but also works on other continental plates like a summon?"
"Then the question is again, according to my current understanding, although the various plates are very similar, they are still very different in terms of power structure and personnel configuration, and they all have their own characteristics."
"This means that low-level equipment is easier to explain, but some special high-level equipment, perhaps the forger himself has only forged one, how can this rare equipment with only one piece change quantitatively?"
"It can't be that qualitative change is "replacement" and quantitative change is "creation out of thin air", right? This is not in line with the conservation of magic, forget it, now is not the time to think about these things. "
Questions about the principle of equipment upgrade flashed through Lei Xiao's mind, and he quickly pulled his thoughts back to reality.
"By the way, this Prince Allen's title is Prince Griffin, and Griffin is another name for griffin. So, the griffin emblem with a dragon claw in its mouth represents Prince Allen?"
Lei Xiao's eyes moved and focused on the attached griffin fountain. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he obviously thought of something.
"No wonder I always feel familiar. Isn't this exactly the same as the bow of the ancient ship deep in the cave in the Songyin Mountains? It's the griffin with a dragon claw in its mouth!"
"So, the brave young captain of the chosen son of God is Prince Griffin Allen? And he is indeed like me, both practicing magic and martial arts with thunder attributes and possessing the power of God's favor. "
Lei Xiao carefully recalled the scene he saw in the illusion at that time, and nodded suddenly.
In addition, what the old king said, "You won't forget your father after going out to sea, right?" can also be true.
Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao took a few steps forward surrounded by Jiang Xi, Catherine and others, and smiled patiently: "Old sir, maybe I am indeed somewhat similar to the person you are looking for, but please take a good look at me again, am I really the Allen you mentioned?"
"This..."
After the initial excitement and confusion, the old king also calmed down completely, and looked at Lei Xiao carefully for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said: "Sorry, young man, I recognized the wrong person."
As the old king said this, his wrinkled eyes looked around, and began to surround the mottled and dilapidated scene around him, muttering to himself: "So that's it, has the Silver Fire Kingdom been destroyed long ago? "
"So, I am now just an energy body whose life source fire has not been completely extinguished."
After saying that, the wrinkles on the old king's face became deeper and deeper, and he sighed heavily and said: "I didn't expect that the Silver Fire Kingdom, the overlord of the human race, would eventually be destroyed under my throne and scepter."
"You know, back then, our human race was enough to compete with the immortal races such as the elves. We have stood at the top of this land, and there are even many human races who have advanced to the position of gods!"
"But now, everything has become a passing cloud, annihilated under the tower of time."
After hearing the old king's words, everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Lei Xiao and others who knew some of the history before the blank era were relatively normal, while General Grimm such as White could hardly believe their ears and opened their eyes wide.
Advance to the position of gods? Compete with the elves?
Let alone whether the illusory gods really exist, just talking about competing with the elves is simply a fantasy!
You know, immortal races such as the elves not only master the superb forging technology and unfathomable magic craftsmanship that humans do not have, but also have overall strength far superior to humans.
For humans, a fifth-level strongman is already a powerful existence that can protect the country, and can be said to be one in a million.
For immortal races with a long time of cultivation, as long as the talent is not bad, it is only a matter of time to enter the fifth-level threshold, which can be seen from this!
In other words, in front of powerful races such as the elves, the human race is just like an ant, so how can they compete with each other?
Just when White and others were amazed, Lei Xiao's calm voice sounded again.
"Old sir, although the human race today is far from as powerful as the Silver Moon Era, please believe that the fire of the human race has never been extinguished, and it will never be extinguished. It is only a matter of time to enter the next peak."
As soon as Lei Xiao said this, everyone cast a respectful and excited look.
Looking at the entire human world, only this young man from another world is qualified to say such a bold statement and has the ability to realize it!
"Oh?"
The old king's dim eyes flashed with light, and he asked: "Young man, although you are not my son, I sense a strong courage from you that only a king has. Perhaps this is the real reason why I was awakened by you."
After that, the old king cleared his throat and said formally to everyone: "Everyone, although it may be ridiculous to say this, as the owner of this Black Wolf Castle and the 30th Silver Fire King, I sincerely welcome you all."
"Thank you for your hospitality, Your Majesty. Please forgive our rudeness and impoliteness just now."
Lei Xiao's words also became formal, and he nodded slightly.
"You're welcome. If it weren't for your arrival, I'm afraid I would still be in the deep sleep of missing you and unable to extricate myself."
The corners of the old king's wrinkled eyes revealed a hint of gloom again, and he sighed softly and said: "It's a pity that until the end, I didn't see my children."
"Your Majesty, although I am not Prince Allen, I have some news about him. He was still fighting for his dream until the last moment, and he never stopped."
Lei Xiao's eyes were solemn, and he took out the illusion crystal that had been inlaid on the figurehead.
It was through this illusion crystal with recording function that Lei Xiao was able to glimpse the real Son of God and a corner of the Silver Moon Era for the first time.
Although Lei Xiao had no means to charge the illusion crystal at that time and could not play the contents repeatedly, it was easy for Lei Xiao now.
Under Xiao Huan's charging, the image of the chosen son of God soon appeared in front of the group.
With Lei Xiao's current strength, he would naturally not be affected by the illusion on the ship. Only White and several generals were still staggering, as if they were really on the ship.
"Alan, it's really my son Alan!"
The old king's face was full of a loving look of relief and excitement. He kept repeating the name Alan, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.
After three thousand years, the old father finally saw his child again.
Looking at the two lines of hot tears sliding quietly on the other's old face, Lei Xiao took out some items collected from the captain's room at that time and briefly described the process of his discovery of all this.
"So that's how it is. Thanks to you, I can see my son again!"
The old king wiped the tears from his eyes and said to Lei Xiao with gratitude: "Thank you so much!"
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. It's just a trivial favor."
After that, Lei Xiao described the mystery of the blank era very concisely.
As a result, the old king, like everyone else, also forgot a lot of things.
However, it can be clearly seen that under Lei Xiao's series of sincere actions, the other party has obviously completely regarded us as friends.
"It turns out that it's not just my Silver Fire Kingdom that was destroyed, but all races have suffered a terrible catastrophe?"
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, the old king was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Excellency, can you tell me more about the blank era?"
"Your Majesty, although I also want to talk with you for three days and three nights, unfortunately, we are now facing a life-and-death test."
Lei Xiao changed the subject and said seriously: "Your Majesty, can you tell us how to leave this underground city?"
