Chapter 1557 New Miracle Building
In front of the ancient building exuding an atmosphere of antiquity and vicissitudes, the old human knights stared at the quaint badge in Lei Xiao's hand, their wrinkled old faces full of surprise and shock.
I didn't expect that the young emperor in front of me would actually possess this silver fire badge that symbolizes the supreme authority of the ancient human race.
You know, in their remaining memories, it is said that this badge can only be passed on to the successor with the full approval of the previous owner, otherwise the moment the badge leaves the previous owner, it will immediately shatter!
Because of this, the significance of this supreme emblem of the human race is incomparable! In other words, the young emperor in front of him has indeed been recognized and inherited by the Silver Fire Kingdom!
You know, this is a symbol of supreme status that even their former king can command, let alone these knights who protect the kingdom?
Besides being shocked in their hearts, neither the burly old knight who was in the lead nor the other old knights around him had any doubtful looks on their faces. They all knelt on the ground immediately and lowered their heads to Lei Xiao.
"We pay our respects to His Majesty the Emperor!"
As they shouted in unison, the old knights' bodies could not stop shaking with excitement. Among them, many old knights had blurry eyes and even sobbed softly.
Although they have been steadfastly standing here for three thousand years, they have always been like a small boat on the vast ocean, drifting with the current and unable to see any place to anchor.
And now, this young emperor has not only inherited the ancient heritage, but also created a new future for the human race, and is even moving towards the peak again. How can they not be excited?
"Everyone, please stand up. You are the extension of the will and bravery of the human race, and I am just an insignificant successor."
Lei Xiao smiled and helped the burly old knight up, nodded and said: "It is undoubtedly the greatest honor for everyone present to be able to meet you."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, all the strong men around him, including the stone giant, nodded, with expressions of regret on their faces.
Since the blank era, this group of surviving human soldiers have persevered from their prime to their old age, and have spent a long period of three thousand years. Only they themselves know the bitterness and perseverance they have experienced during this period.
Among them, especially the stone giants such as Lila, while sighing in their hearts, they also cast respectful glances at Lei Xiao.
I didn’t expect that His Majesty the Human Race has already inherited the ancient human race’s heritage and taken over the supreme authority of the ancient human race!
You know, even these stone giants know clearly that the ancient human race is the powerful incarnation standing at the top of all races, enough to be on par with today's invincible elves, dwarves, winged people and other top forces!
The importance contained in this is self-evident.
The most crucial thing is that with the personal intervention of His Majesty the Human Race, this mysterious city that had been a thorn in the side finally unveiled its mystery and no longer posed a threat to the stone giants!
As she thought of this, the reverence on Lila's fair face became more obvious.
If His Majesty had not come here in person, the stone giant would have had a fierce battle with the other side sooner or later.
By then, even if the Stone Giant used all his trump cards to defeat these old knights, he would still suffer heavy losses and would no longer be able to compete with the Demi-Titans. He might even fall directly to the ranks of third-rate forces in the Outlands.
"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. After three thousand years, we are finally no longer alone. When we were isolated and helpless before, we even hid the emblems on our armor. This way, even if we are defeated one day, we will not bring shame to Graythorn or the ancient human race."
The corners of the burly old knight's eyes were filled with hot tears. He gave Lei Xiao another standard knight's salute and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, I am Lance, the acting leader of the First Knights of the Dawn Fortress of the Greythorn Kingdom, reporting to you on behalf of one thousand knights!"
After the burly old knight named Lance finished speaking, the other old knights around him also made the same salute gesture with excitement on their faces.
"Captain Lance and everyone else, please stand up."
Lei Xiao helped the old knight in front of him up again, and said with a high-spirited face: "When I return this time, I will tell your story to the best bard of the human race. By then, the entire human race and its affiliated forces will sing poems of praise for you."
After that, Lei Xiao's voice slowed down a bit, and he smiled and said, "Most importantly, you don't have to wander anymore from now on. The human race is no longer what it used to be. You can go home at any time. I will arrange everything for you. You don't have to stay here in the dark anymore."
"Your Majesty's kindness will never be forgotten!"
Lance's old face was filled with uncontrollable gratitude. He nodded heavily and said, "After three thousand years, our perseverance has not been in vain."
At this point, Lance's old face was filled with sadness again, and he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that we are inseparable from this Dawn Fortress. I'm afraid we can never go back."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, a look of solemnity emerged on the faces of Lei Xiao and the strong men under his command, and they looked at the old knights with concern.
"Your Majesty, haven't you always wanted to know why we, who should have perished long ago, have continued to stay here? Then let me reveal the final answer to your Majesty."
Lance made a "please" gesture and began to lead the way again, and the direction of advance was the inner city of the fortress with towering walls.
It didn't take long for the group to arrive at the towering inner city gate.
As the city gate opened, the most core area of the fortress came into everyone's sight.
As far as the eye can see, there are giant gray castles, scattered in an orderly manner, standing in the most core location of the inner city.
These castles are not tall, but they are extremely solid and heavy, so they are completely hidden by the towering city walls.
On the quaint walls of the gray castle, there was a faint magical glow of colorful and amber, which looked majestic and unique.
“Why are there so many castles here?”
Jasmine's starry eyes first showed a hint of surprise, but then she quickly reacted and said with sudden enlightenment: "This is not an ordinary castle, but a series of miraculous buildings!"
"Yes, these miraculous buildings are called Greythorn Castle, and they are the core of the Dawn Fortress."
Lance continued to guide Lei Xiao and the others to climb the inner city wall through the horse paths on both sides, and said, "There are five Greythorn Castles here, but unfortunately two of them were damaged when we woke up, leaving only three that can be used normally."
When Lance said this, the group had already arrived at the top of the towering city wall.
Standing high on the city wall and looking down at the inner city, Lei Xiao noticed further.
Just as the old knight introduced, in the vast area of the inner city, there are five gray castles standing in order, one of which is located in the core, and the other four are located in the four corners, looking staggered.
But the one in the middle and one on the outside were obviously damaged, with several large holes in them, as if something had fallen from the sky and pierced through them. Only the other three looked intact, and they were the three we saw at the beginning.
"Your Majesty, each of these Greythorn Castles can summon a legion of fifth-order cavalry golem puppets. Therefore, most of the Grey Knights that Your Majesty has seen are just golem puppets summoned by the miracle buildings."
Lance nodded respectfully to Lei Xiao and continued his introduction.
As Lance finished his words, many ordinary gray-armored cavalrymen around him, except for the old knights who were accompanying them, also took off their helmets.
As expected, under the helmet, there were no ordinary human faces, but humanoid golem puppets that looked like gray statues, with even the facial features only a rough outline.
"So that's how it is. No wonder you said there were a thousand knights, but you just sent out two legions of cavalry."
Jasmine nodded with sudden enlightenment, and her slightly puzzled gaze finally fell on the old knight.
This girl was obviously aware of the abnormality of these old knights. After all, even among the elves with a long lifespan, most of the strong ones who survived from the blank era have already died.
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, the reason why we can still stand before you and continue to defend this place with our aged bodies is because we use the miracle building as a container."
Lance did not hide anything and introduced to Lei Xiao: "Since the first batch of knights fell, we decided to continue to guard this place until I, a half-step seventh-level knight, fell for the last time. Then everyone became what they are today."
"Now I understand completely."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and his mind suddenly became clear.
It seems that Greythorn Castle can not only summon golem puppets, but also serve as a container for the source of life, just like the Lion King Palace.
However, due to its limited foundation, the Lion King Palace can only accommodate fifth-level strongmen at most, and the number is also relatively limited, and it is far less powerful than the Greythorn Castle.
After all, the Lance in front of him is at the half-step seventh level. If you want to carry a strong man of such power, it would be difficult to find a match even among the second-rate forces today.
Not only that, he had also asked Jasmine before. Even among the current top forces such as the elves, the number of such containers was extremely limited, even to the point of scarcity.
Once such items appear in the Shadow Market, they will surely become the target of all forces.
"Your Majesty, since you have come to us, we are willing to hand over the three miracle buildings, Greythorn Castle, to Your Majesty!"
Without any hesitation, Lance nodded heavily to Lei Xiao, and the other knights around him also had the same determined look.
Hearing the sound, everyone on our side couldn't help but become excited. You know, the core and combat power of the entire fortress lies in the three miracle buildings in front of us.
Since Your Majesty is about to become the owner of the miracle building, it is undoubtedly equivalent to becoming the owner of the entire fortress!
The three fifth-order legions are equivalent to the entire elite combat power of a second-rate force, which is enough to raise our overall strength to a higher level!
Among the excited crowd, especially Lila, Kayla, Peyton and other stone giant warriors, they all looked jubilant.
Now that His Majesty is about to take over this fortress, the threat of the stone giants will undoubtedly be completely eliminated, and they will no longer have to worry about their dormitories!
As for Lei Xiao himself, he still had a solemn look on his face, but he also nodded heavily to the old knight.
Since these old knights trust me so much, I will definitely not let them down.
After that, with Lance's guidance, Lei Xiao quickly arrived inside the Greythorn Castle.
The structure here is quite similar to that of the Light-Chasing Castle, but both in terms of precision and the glittering magic patterns on the walls, it is obviously inferior. This is no wonder, after all, the Light-Chasing Castle is a miracle building in the land favored by the gods.
As for why the strength of Theon and others in the Light Chaser Castle is extremely limited, Lei Xiao has also studied it carefully.
You know, there are ten Light-Chasing Castles in Crystal Blue City, each of which is connected to each other. Only when all ten are functioning, the strength of Theon and others will increase.
Today, there is only one miracle building left in Crystal Blue City, like a complete wooden barrel with only one piece left. It can hardly carry even a drop of water, and naturally it is difficult to play its original function.
As for the Greythorn Castles, no signs of any connection between them have been found so far. Each one should be a separate entity, so naturally there is no such function.
In the command hall of Greythorn Castle where amber magic was flickering, with the experience of controlling Light Chaser Castle and Tower of Dawn, and his own strength now far superior to what it used to be, Lei Xiao didn't have to spend much effort to take control of this miraculous building that housed veteran knights like Lance.
[Congratulations, you have become the new owner of "Miracle Building: Greythorn Castle"! ]
As the familiar prompt sounded, Lei Xiao casually opened the attribute bar of the new miracle building.
[Graythorn Castle Lv: Max]
[Owner: Lei Xiao [ID: 0013076067]]
[Number of Golem Puppet Knights: 10000/10000]
[Number of Greythorn Knight Heroic Spirits: 1000/1000]
[Architectural Effect 1: Graythorn Reappears In the past, "The Golem Puppet Knight or the Graythorn Knight Heroic Spirit is destroyed and will reappear in Graythorn Castle (but it needs to be charged and cannot leave the castle for half a day)"
[Building Special Effect 2: Graythorn Glory Blessing "The activity range of the Golem Puppet Knight or Graythorn Knight Heroic Spirit depends on the energy reserve of the Miracle Building. The closer to this building, the further its own defense and charge speed will be strengthened."]
[Building Special Effect 1: Graythorn Heavy Armored Mount "Once the heavy armored mount is damaged, it can be immediately reconstructed in this building (CD: m)]
[Materials required for upgrading: Miracle building has reached the maximum level]
"Is it really a full-level miracle building?"
Lei Xiao looked at the text description on the attribute column and nodded thoughtfully.
Needless to say, the three building special effects are all very concise and clear. As for the casualties that Lance and others brought back from the battlefield just now, according to the description of building special effect one, it seems that most of them are just empty shells of armor.
Just as Lei Xiao was about to check the detailed information of Lance and other old knights, he saw that the old knights in front of him suddenly turned pale and fell down, holding their necks. (End of this chapter)
