Chapter 1430 Determination and Method
Tick, tick, tick.
The turbid water drops on the dirty wall dripped onto a fair and delicate face. The slight coolness made her slowly open her eyes. Her unique pair of light golden vertical pupils were filled with confusion at first, and then quickly turned into caution and nervousness. She began to force herself to look around.
She was none other than Dana.
Although she has lost almost all of her dragon characteristics, making Dana look no different from a human, when it is dark, she still displays the dragon's pupils with excellent night vision, so that she can better observe the surrounding situation.
The dim candlelight not far away was flickering, reflecting the outlines of rows of metal fences. Dana's heart quickly sank to the bottom, and a chill filled her body.
Because she found herself imprisoned alone in an old dungeon without any light, and the air was filled with the strong smell of blood and decay, which was almost nauseating.
After roughly understanding her situation, the young queen did not panic. Instead, she tried her best to calm herself down and began to recall the last scene she remembered in her mind.
It was the early morning hours when the leaves were covered with dewdrops and even the warblers were curled up in their nests and had not yet awakened. Davis and I had just inspected the last spy base and were on our way back to the fortress at the edge of the forest.
But he had not flown far when he suddenly felt dizzy and the energy flow in his body came to a complete standstill. Then he passed out.
"We were ambushed by a magic trap? I was so careless."
Dana rubbed her still groggy head and quickly figured out what had happened.
"By the way, where is my brother? Where are the other soldiers of the Royal Guard?"
A trace of anxiety emerged on her fair face and she began to look around again.
On the other side of the dim candlelight, a human figure appeared crookedly.
The other party was chained to the wall of the dungeon and couldn't move at all.
"Nette? How are you?"
Dana's pupils widened, and she quickly recognized that the human figure was one of the outstanding warriors under her command, a brave and loyal captain of the guards.
But no matter how loudly Dana's voice sounded in the dungeon, the human-shaped silhouette still did not move, and even the wing membrane behind it drooped to the ground, obviously having been completely torn apart.
"Haha, so that guy's name is Nite? He's really a tough guy. I just wanted to ask for some information about the alien lord, but he didn't say a single word."
A sudden eerie sound came from the side of Dana's cage. The latter's expression suddenly froze and she turned her head subconsciously. A strange and burly figure with a murderous aura came into her sight.
Dana could be completely sure that there was no one there just now.
"Who are you?"
Dana stared at the other person with her starry eyes. Just as she was about to stand up, she felt her feet sink and she collapsed to the ground weakly again.
It was not until this moment that Dana discovered that her ankles were wrapped in heavy chains engraved with strange runes, and the energy in her body was inexplicably consumed and she was unable to mobilize even a single bit.
"That is an energy loss prison chain, made from extremely rare high-grade meteorite ore, assisted by special forbidden runes. It is said to have been created by a group of fallen dwarves, specifically to control the powerful hostile elves. It is produced by a first-rate force, so the effect is obvious."
A humorous voice without any emotion rang out, and a strange burly figure looked down at Dana and sneered, "How is it? Your Majesty, who just recovered from a serious illness, did not expect that you would be imprisoned? How does it feel to be reborn and then fall into the abyss?"
"Stop talking to yourself. Your words will not have any effect, and I will never say anything about His Majesty the Human Race."
Dana showed no fear as she stared into the darkness covered by the dark grey hood. Although she could not see the face that the other person had deliberately covered, Dana could clearly feel that a pair of eerie eyes were staring at her.
"You, who possess the blood of the dragon race, are indeed extremely capable of resisting mental attacks. Even small physical means cannot pry open your mouths."
The burly figure filled with hostility glanced at the body with thousands of holes hanging on the wall, then looked at Dana again and said with a sinister smile: "What about your brother?"
"You bastard, what have you done to my brother?"
Dana gritted her teeth and questioned.
"Want to know the details?"
The voice of the burly figure became sinister again, and he said cunningly: "If you tell me some information about the lord of the alien world, perhaps I will meet your request."
"Don't even think about it! How can a lowly person like you get involved with the human king?"
Dana didn't hesitate at all and snorted coldly: "I have the glorious royal blood flowing in my body. How could I submit to a shady guy like you? My brother will never bow down to you!"
"It seems that both Prince Zhan Yi and you are stubborn. You are just a blood relative of ours, but you really think you are the arrogant dragon clan?"
The burly figure's voice was obviously much colder, and he said with disdain: "Forget it, according to the information I have, you are just pawns in the hands of the lord of the alien world, and it is impossible for you to have any core information."
"Don't even think about sowing discord between us and the Human King. The greatness of that King is beyond your imagination!"
Dana's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and she snorted again: "Your conspiracy will never succeed!"
"Haha, that alien lord is indeed curious."
The burly figure gently raised his hand which was also covered in his sleeves, and a sixth-order long sword emitting a rich and colorful light emerged, making the entire dark dungeon sparkle instantly.
"This kind of magic weapon is a toy for the first-rate forces. How can it be a treasure that a third-rate force like you can obtain?"
The burly figure's voice was a little more playful, and he said coldly, "In addition to this, there are actually sixth-level armor and several other sixth-level equipment, and even a lot of sixth-level potions and magic scrolls. When did you become so generous? I guess it must be the work of the lord from another world. The truth behind this is really curious."
"But don't worry. Once I defeat the alien lord and clip his wings, everything will come to light."
After saying this, the hostility around the burly figure became more intense, and he began to laugh wildly and unscrupulously.
"I have already said it before, your plot will never succeed!"
Seeing the other party holding the precious sword given to her by Lei Xiao and acting so recklessly, Dana began to tremble all over, but she still gritted her teeth and said firmly: "Even if I die, I will never let you threaten His Majesty the Human Race!"
"Stupid thing, you haven't reacted yet? From the moment you were trapped here, the lord of the other world was in great danger."
The burly figure laughed even louder and louder, and said with a sinister smile: "Based on the clues I left behind, I believe that the lord of the other world will soon deploy troops to the border to deal with you bunch of trash. By then, there will be a good show."
"Are you from the Desert Alliance? Do you want to stir up a dispute between us and the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and then profit from it?!"
Dana was stunned at first, but then she reacted immediately and blurted out, "No, it is not impossible that the Rainforest Fortress Alliance deliberately left clues to confuse people. Are you from the Rainforest Fortress Alliance or the Desert Alliance?"
"You don't have to worry about that, useless person. It won't be long before you can meet the lord of the other world here. Before that, I will spare your life."
The burly figure glanced at Dana with contempt, then flashed and disappeared in the dark and damp dungeon in an instant.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm a burden to you all."
Dana sat on the ground with a sad face. After taking another look at her captain of the guards, she finally couldn't help sobbing softly.
……
At the same time, in the King's Hall of the Lion Fortress, when they heard that Lei Xiao had a way to summon the leaders of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Sand Alliance at the same time, the anxious people couldn't help but be curious and pricked up their ears.
"It is true that we have no intersection with the other side, and the sudden massive increase in the number of troops by the other side has already created hostility towards us. Moreover, the two sides are incompatible. Under such circumstances, this is indeed an extremely difficult matter."
Lei Xiao casually placed the baton next to the sand table and said loudly: "However, there is a way to easily accomplish this, that is, another force will come forward to call for it, and the other party will never refuse."
"Another force?"
Hanershu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Could it be the second-rate forces on the other side of the two alliance forces? With their obviously stronger appeal, it is indeed possible to do this."
"But despite the relative peace in recent decades, the two allied forces are not friendly with the neighboring second-rate forces."
Fanny tilted her head and agreed, "Besides, if we can't even contact the other side, it's even more impossible to contact those more distant second-rate forces."
Hearing this, the other strong men on our side also nodded, obviously not understanding the meaning of Lei Xiao's words just now.
So far, there are two non-third-rate forces that are friendly with us, one is the red dragon, and the other is the light half-elf. However, there is no news about the former yet, and the latter is following the light elves to confront the dark elves. Judging from the current situation, we cannot get assistance from both.
"You are right. We are indeed short of friends as we have just stepped into the depths of the Outer Realm. However, there is an old friend of great status that you have not considered. He is the source of my confidence."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly and reminded again.
"My Lord, are you talking about the Shadow Market?"
This time, Ariel reacted quickly and blurted out the answer.
After hearing Ariel's words, everyone suddenly understood.
Whether in the mutation storm, the battle of the dragon's lair, or on many battlefields, the Shadow Market has always fully assisted us, but the manager is extremely mysterious and almost never attends the meetings, so I didn't think of it for a while.
In short, although we don’t know what kind of agreement His Majesty the Human Race has reached with the administrators to be able to drive such a transcendent being, it is certain that the other party is clearly on our side!
"I see. If it's the Fantasy Film Market, it really isn't that difficult to do this!"
Broy's eyes lit up, and he echoed, "After all, the Shadow Market has always been an absolutely fair and just place. Needless to say, its credibility is very high, and it is unlikely to arouse suspicion from the other party!"
"Yes, let's get started right away."
Since all the strong men present were his own people, Lei Xiao had no scruples and contacted the manager directly.
Soon, the manager's voice came through the Ice Stone City's communication stone and then through the telepathic speaker to everyone's ears: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just tell me."
Before this, since Lei Xiao took the time to inform the administrator of our current progress, the administrator naturally trusted Lei Xiao more. After all, as Lei Xiao's power grew stronger, the administrator's hope of improving his ranking would become greater and closer to the front.
One of the important indicators for improving rankings is how much response one can get from foreign forces and how much benefit one can gain from them. This is undoubtedly the best thing for managers who are at the end of their rope.
In other words, although the managers are under the surveillance of the Market Brotherhood to a considerable extent and cannot appear in public to serve us, they have actually already stood closely with us.
"Your Excellency, Administrator, I will get straight to the point."
Lei Xiao didn't beat around the bush and directly described the whole story.
"It is really infuriating that such a thing actually happened. Your Majesty is right. Once we find the mastermind behind this, we must not let him off easily!"
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, the administrator responded without any hesitation: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Since it is Your Majesty's request, then it is naturally my duty to do it."
After that, the administrator's voice revealed a hint of embarrassment again, and added: "But I believe Your Majesty has also known something. At present, my coverage area is limited to the south of the Fluorescent Rift Valley, and these two alliances are too far away from my coverage area. The only way is to send a personal invitation letter."
"But I really don't have much in common with them. If I send out a normal personal invitation to a market directly, I'm afraid it won't achieve the effect that Your Majesty expects."
At this point, the manager quickly added: "But please don't worry, Your Majesty. I have a way to make your plan go smoothly!"
"Your Excellency, Manager, please feel free to speak."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and continued to listen to the other party's words.
"Your Majesty, that is to hold a large-scale film market that is far beyond the ordinary scale, so that the other party will come to us on their own initiative."
The manager's voice revealed a bit of excitement, and he said, "And your majesty is the boss behind all this!" (End of this chapter)
