Chapter 546 The Past of Loren King's Capital Is Like Smoke
"That's right, it's the old man."
An ethereal and resonant old voice sounded, and the sudden burly old man nodded slightly and responded lightly.
Immediately afterwards, the burly old man closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, and finally cast his rather sharp gaze on Fang Hai in front of him, and said, "So that's it, are you the descendant of this old man?"
"The grandson Fang Haiqianduan, met the ancestor!"
On the other side, after feeling the familiar energy fluctuations emanating from the burly old man, which was almost exactly the same as his own, Fang Hai knelt down on the ground and bowed to the burly old man at Lei Xiao's nod.
"Grandson? Forget it, let's get up first."
Hearing the expression of Fang Hai, a burly old man who claimed to be at least nine generations later, he couldn't help but become a little surprised.
Immediately afterwards, his pair of old eyes moved, and he nodded slightly to Lei Xiao, who was guarded by the tiger stick and Hong Ye, to show a friendly attitude without hostility.
Then, he looked around again at the mottled bookcases around him, as well as the cracked walls of the secret room, and asked slowly, "What year is it now?"
"Back to the ancestors, the heroic calendar is 662 years... No, if converted to the mainland's common calendar, it is the 3000th year of the star era."
After standing up again, Fang Hai, whose old face was full of excitement, responded with some dancing.
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
He already knew something about the calendar of this world.
Needless to say, the Hero Calendar is Lengyan Kingdom's unique way of counting years. The first year represents the year when Wang Xi established Lengyan Kingdom.
The Era of Stars, which is the general calendar of the continent, is also known as the Third Era, and it is calculated after the Era of Blank.
As for the era before that, the Era of Blank Era was called the Era of the Silver Moon, also known as the Era of the Second Era.
"Has it been a thousand years, but to this old man, everything is almost the same as yesterday, and it is still vivid..."
Sighing heavily, the burly old man seemed to remember something, and asked eagerly, "How is the Kingdom of Loren now? Does it still exist?"
"Master Ancestor, the matter is like this..."
Next, Fang Hai briefly described the destruction of the Loren Kingdom, the strife and chaos that lasted for more than three hundred years, the birth of the Cold Flame Kingdom, and the burly old man in front of him.
"So that's the case. This is also a reasonable thing. After all, the king's capital at that time was already in flames and besieged on all sides."
He sighed heavily again, the wrinkles on the burly old man's face were obviously deep, and he didn't speak for a while.
After a while, the burly old man set his eyes on Lei Xiao who was protected by the tiger stick and Hong Ye, and said again: "Your Excellency, you must be the leader here, right?"
"That's right, old sir, please forgive me for disturbing you."
Nodding slightly to the burly old man, Lei Xiao immediately responded.
"Your Excellency is too polite. If Your Excellency hadn't led the crowd here, how could the old man Xiao Er Qianduan see the descendants of thousands of years later?"
On the other side, the burly old man first showed a friendly smile.
Then, he looked at Chao Yan at the side, and continued: "And, thanks to this little friend, who took the initiative to provide the old man with a lot of magic power, the old man can meet you all."
"What is active supply? It was obviously sucked away suddenly, okay? It made me hungry again..."
Hearing this, standing behind Lei Xiao with only half of his face showing, he wrinkled his little nose slightly, and muttered to himself.
"Mr. Shaw, you don't have to be polite. It is our honor to meet the once-leading blacksmith."
After speaking, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the statue beside him again, he couldn't help showing a puzzled look, and asked: "Old Mr. Xiaoer, what's going on with all this?"
"As you can see, the body of the old man is exactly this statue."
Following Lei Xiao's gaze and landed on the statue, the burly old man shook his head with a wry smile and said, "But what you are seeing now is just a special energy body."
"Master Ancestor, so you were really petrified back then?"
Hearing the sound, Fang Hai's old face was full of eagerness, and he asked again.
"exactly."
Nodding his head slightly, the burly old man's eyes were blurred, apparently lost in memory, and he responded: "Back then, this capital of the Loren Kingdom was besieged by the opponent's 500,000 troops for more than half a year."
"But because of the absolute defensive barrier covering the entire city, it has already been connected to the lava deep underground through the unique magic conversion barrier of the dwarves, and has obtained a steady stream of lava power."
"So, no matter how the opponent thinks, it is still impossible to break through."
I saw a sneer on the face of the burly old man, and said disdainfully: "Under the city wall, the funny expressions of the opponent's coach and generals racking their brains and scratching their heads are still fresh in my memory."
"If that's the case, how did the other party break the city in the end?"
Hearing the sound, the curious look on Lei Xiao's face became more obvious, and he asked again.
Needless to say, these historical battle experiences, although very long ago, undoubtedly have a lot of reference value for Lei Xiao.
Therefore, Lei Xiao would not let go of every detail about the war.
"To tell you the truth, Xiao He is the so-called success and Xiao He is defeated. In this war, although my Loren Kingdom has been providing the absolute defense enchantment through the dwarven conversion secret method, and maintained a stable life for more than half a year, but in the end. It was also defeated by this magic power conversion secret method."
Having said that, the burly old man's expression darkened again, and he responded.
"Oh? Why did you lose to the magic power conversion secret method?"
Hearing the sound, Chaoyan's big eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but stepped forward and asked curiously.
Immediately afterwards, she seemed to remember the fear of being sucked away by the magic power just now, and hurriedly hid behind Lei Xiao again.
"After half a year of besieging the city, the helpless enemy, through unknown channels, finally got a vicious method to break the dwarven secret law."
Shaking his head helplessly, the burly old man responded immediately.
"Using the continuous power of violent magma to supply an absolute defensive enchantment is an overreaching trick. How can the vast power of nature be so easily controlled?"
On the other side, with her arms around Hong Ye, Dai Mei frowned slightly and said, "This kind of cleverness can only be figured out by ignorant dwarves."
"This strong woman is right. The opponent is aiming at the instability of the magic power conversion barrier, and input a large amount of magic power into the lava field deep in the ground, causing the magic power conversion barrier to suddenly overload. Then there was a big bang."
The burly old man's old eyes became blurred again, and he said: "That unexpected and shocking explosion not only caused a quarter of the king's capital, but directly turned it into a sea of flames, making the royal magic army that maintains the barrier completely annihilated.
Moreover, the absolute defensive barrier protecting the capital also disappeared. "
"And the enemy took advantage of this opportunity to attack the city that was caught off guard, right?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao leaned on his chin with one hand and nodded slightly.
"As your Excellency said, during that frightening night, facing the general attack of the opponent's 500,000 troops outside the city, and the scorching scene of purgatory inside the city, the defense troops of the Kingdom of Loren were caught off guard, and the city gates on all sides were very dense. They will be breached one after another."
Sighing heavily, the burly old man said again: "At that time, seeing that the situation was over, this old man who knew that he was powerless sent someone to secretly send his youngest son out of the city while taking advantage of the chaos, and the opponent's army had already rushed in city blocks."
"In an instant, there were wailing and flames rising. These enemy soldiers who had endured for half a year turned into ferocious demons in an instant, and began to act recklessly in this land that was once full of vitality and beauty."
At this time, the muddy pupils of the burly old man had already been filled with anger, and he continued: "The old man immediately led all the clansmen and family guards of the Qianduan family, and started a battle with the other party with endless anger. Fight to the death."
"After this, although our side had the upper hand at the beginning, causing a large number of enemy soldiers to fall to their feet like cut wheat, but after a whole day and night of fierce fighting, they were finally supported by the enemy's continuous reinforcements. , helplessly defeated."
The burly old man's old eyes showed a faint glint, and he said: "When the old man realized it, there were no other warriors from the Qianduan family around him."
At this time, the burly old man's expression suddenly became awe-inspiring, and he continued: "This scene undoubtedly completely aroused the old man's anger."
"However, although the old man at that time had already reached the level of a fifth-order senior expert, the long-term high-intensity battle left the old man with very little energy left."
"During the fierce battle, when the old man was planning to burn up the remaining energy in his body and die with as many opponents as possible, he was accidentally hit by the petrification magic of the fifth-level powerhouse who came from the enemy's reinforcements."
Having said that, the burly old man shook his head helplessly.
"So that's how it is."
Nodding his head thoughtfully, Lei Xiao murmured: "Then, the old man broke through the siege with all his strength, and finally escaped into this secret study room in the forging room, right?"
"Yes, exactly."
Sighing heavily again, the burly old man responded sadly.
"However, since the old man has been affected by the petrification magic, he should be turned into stone immediately, how can he have the strength to come back here?"
Pushing the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, Ye Cang frowned and asked.
"Of course it's because of this magical pendant."
Nodding to Ye Cang, the burly old man set his eyes on the ruby on the chest of the sculpture next to him.
Then he said: "This pendant was obtained by chance when the old man was in contact with a wandering dwarf tribe on behalf of the Kingdom of Loren. It can automatically absorb free energy particles in the air and convert them into a strange force."
"It was this magical power that made the old man slow down the speed of being petrified, and after being completely petrified, he was surprised to find that he could still turn into an energy entity within the small area of this secret room."
After a pause, the burly old man said again: "Later, after staying in this secret room in the form of an energy body for a period of time, due to the strange power on the magical pendant, the old man has greatly reduced, and the speed of automatic absorption is very fast. Slow, not enough to keep the old man awake."
"That's why, this will fall into a deep sleep again until everyone appears."
Speaking of this, the burly old man's eyes fell on Chao Yan, who was only showing half of his head, causing the latter to shrink his neck and completely hide behind Lei Xiao.
"Understood, this is also a blessing in misfortune."
Sensing the oppressive feeling of Chao Yan pulling his sleeve behind him, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, then frowned and asked, "Then why is this place so empty?"
"Your Excellency must have noticed that, just in case, the old man's life-long painstaking efforts and treasured equipment blueprints were discovered by the enemy. Therefore, before they were completely petrified, the old man had already gritted his teeth and collected all of these priceless items. burned."
Nodding slightly to Lei Xiao, the burly old man responded helplessly.
"Is it true that all of them were burned?"
Sighing softly, Fang Hai muttered to himself full of disappointment.
"Grandson, I ask you, how is the Qianduan family doing now?"
Noticing Fang Hai's gloom, the burly old man refocused his attention on the former, with a gentle expression on his face.
"Back to the ancestors, the thing is like this..."
Next, Fang Hai briefly described the decline of the family to the other party.
"This is also a reasonable thing. After all, the strong and impressive background of my Qianduan family have been exhausted in that battle of destroying the country."
After listening to Fang Hai's description, the burly old man also let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.
Immediately afterwards, the burly old man looked solemn, and said again: "Grandson, this young man is your master, right? The old man has seen countless people in his life, and he can clearly feel that this young man is by no means an ordinary person." .”
Looking at Lei Xiao who was not far away with a calm expression, the burly old man couldn't help showing a look of expectation, and continued: "Perhaps, under his command, our Qianduan family will be able to return to the peak of the past, it is still unknown .”
"My lord ancestor, my grandson also thinks the same way. My grandson has already decided to swear allegiance to this young lord."
On the other side, Fang Hai bowed slightly without hesitation, and said with firm eyes.
"Very good, a good bird chooses a tree to live in, and a virtuous minister chooses a master to serve. The old man back then chose the right monarch, which made the Qianduan family prosperous for a while."
Nodding in satisfaction, the burly old man showed a slight smile and said: "If that's the case, then the old man, as an ancestor, will naturally let my descendants make this trip worthwhile."
