Chapter 1006: The unyielding king
As the delicate and thick carved metal door was slowly opened, what caught Lei Xiao's eyes was a large, spacious and slightly dark bedroom.
The large crystal chandelier on the roof was not turned on, and all the light sources came from the crystal stones inlaid on the walls.
The right light source arrangement makes the light in the whole room soft and warm, making people feel calm.
I saw that the decoration of the room was extremely decent. In addition to a large number of gorgeous textures such as golden hollow scroll patterns, hyacinth leaf decorations, scallop decorations, etc., the white walls were also neatly hung with long swords, shields and other decorations, making it luxurious yet elegant. A little more solemn and majestic.
In the center of the room is a simple and elegant large curtained bed. The golden and red curtains completely wrap the bed, like a solid barrier, symbolizing the last moments of the patient on the bed. strong.
Around the bed, there are lantern-shaped golden flowers and emerald green vegetation, just like a small wilderness, leaving only an aisle leading to the bed.
Smelling the elegant fragrance of flowers that came towards him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, feeling filled with emotion in his heart.
After so many mammoth battles, when he descended from the corner of the forest, he had already arrived in front of the country's most powerful person, even though the latter had been in a coma.
What's more, judging from his relationship with Ariel, it's not an exaggeration to call him a quasi-father-in-law.
"The name of these flowers is Cold Flame Lily of the Valley. They are flower seeds cultivated by His Majesty the Hero King himself. They are also my father's favorite flowers."
Ariel's crisp voice was low, and she murmured to Lei Xiao: "My father once said that the cold flame lily of the valley can grow on the top of the mountains, and it can also grow in the cold north. Neither strong wind nor blizzard can grow in it." Letting him bend down represents the strongest will of the Leng Yan royal family."
"Your Excellency, the old King is also fighting against the unknown disease with this amazing tenacity. According to Sir Seven and Master Yatuo, if His Majesty the old King's will was not as strong as iron, he would have been dead.
Wu did not continue speaking, but sighed heavily, nodded to Lei Xiao and said: "Your Excellency, guest minister, please come with me. His Majesty the old king must also want to meet you, the hero who saved the Lengyan Kingdom."
After finishing speaking, Wu waved away the maids in the room and walked to the front again.
"Understood."
Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath and followed Wu closely.
Passing by a small sea of flowers composed of Cold Flame Lily of the Valley, Lei Xiao and his party quickly arrived at the hospital bed.
In order to avoid disturbing the old king too much, Lei Xiao only brought a few fifth-level powerhouses and some peak fourth-level powerhouses.
"Your Highness Princess, I'm about to pull back the curtain."
When he stopped, Wu Xian nodded to Ariel, and then slowly opened the curtain covering the hospital bed.
Although he couldn't see Wu's expression, Lei Xiao could still feel the solemnity and awe from the other person's tone.
As the curtain was gently opened, a haggard old man with white beard and hair came into Lei Xiao's eyes.
The old man was lying flat on the big bed, his pale face covered with wrinkles was extremely thin and slightly sallow, like a sponge that had shrunk and hardened.
But it can be seen from the outline of the quilt that the old man was once extremely tall. Even though his body has become thinner, the outline of his huge muscles is still very conspicuous.
The most eye-catching thing is that although the old man's broad chest is rising and falling slightly, he is already out of breath.
But his purple lips were pursed tightly, and his gray eyebrows were frowned. It seemed that he had been fighting against the disease in his body, and he did not give people a feeling of powerlessness and weakness.
Looking at the unconscious but strong-willed prospective father-in-law in front of him, Lei Xiao was filled with emotions in his heart.
I now clearly understand why Ariel, despite her delicate figure, is often able to burst out with strong determination and strength.
Because her father is an unyielding king.
"Father looks even weaker than before."
Ariel knelt down beside the bed, holding the old man's loose hands tightly with both hands, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably.
"The top priority now is to figure out why the old king is seriously ill."
Lei Xiao first patted Ariel's shoulder lightly, and then said to Ye Cang, Gals, Ju Bai and other subordinates with healing skills or experience beside him: "I'll leave it to you. "
Lei Xiao's dark eyes lit up and he immediately reacted.
"Yes, Lord, if you directly ask His Majesty the old King, you may be able to find some useful clues."
Feeling Ariel's sadness, Xiao Huan, who had always been casual, became rarely serious and nodded heavily.
"But the dwarf's dormant magic circle is extremely complicated, and the illusions used in it are extremely sophisticated. I'm afraid it will be difficult to replicate in a short period of time."
Erza asked quickly with a look of urgency on her face.
"Don't worry, I have been with those dwarves for nearly three thousand years. Although the magic circle is quite good, I have already memorized it by heart. By the way, I would like to whisper that the reason why the magic circle can operate normally in the later period is I had nothing to do, so I just casually carried out maintenance.
Xiao Huan smiled at Erza, then flapped her transparent wings and began to fly.
She was only the size of a palm, and this time she rested on Ariel's shoulder. While gently comforting the latter, she continued: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, after having a face-to-face communication with His Majesty the old King, even if we can't If we find the cause of the disease at the first time, we may be able to deduce the murderer of the old king, or some other clues."
"As long as the murderer is found, the cause of the disease will naturally be found. No matter what, we can also find some valuable clues through the clues that my father noticed!"
Ariel's starry eyes also lit up, and she touched the stone elf's head with her slender fingers in joy and said: "Xiao Huan, it's all thanks to you this time!"
"Hehe, it is a little girl's honor to be able to help Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Seeing that Ariel's mood had improved, Xiao Huan became playful and smiling again, and said with expectation: "When everything is over, maybe the little girl will be lucky enough to transform into the appearance of Her Highness the Princess, and then join Her Highness the Princess and the Lord.
"Stop, stop, business is important now."
Lei Xiao flicked Xiao Huan's head, interrupting the other person's words.
Then, Lei Xiao briefly explained to Wu what happened on the dwarf space train.
"It turns out that it would be great if we could directly talk to His Majesty the old King. In other words, this is the only way to break the situation at present!"
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Wu Ye became excited, nodded to the former and said: "Then I'll leave it to you, Your Excellency and everyone."
"Okay, without further ado, let's start preparations."
Lei Xiao nodded to Xiao Huan and Erza, and then with a wave of his hand, he put all the cold flame bell orchid placed beside the bed into the space bracelet to facilitate Xiao Huan and Erza to lay the magic circle.
Under the leadership of Xiao Huan and the assistance of Erza, there were waves of slight energy fluctuations and low chanting.
It didn't take long for each of the exquisite light gray hexagram formations to take shape under everyone's feet.
As the soft gray light flickered, the magic arrays continued to rotate and extend outwards, with the old king's bed as the center, eventually covering the entire room, forming a giant composite magic array.
"Lord Qi, everything is ready."
When the room was filled with light gray soft magical light, Xiao Huan re-suspended in front of Lei Xiao, stroked his chest and saluted: "Lord, please sit there and close your eyes."
Looking along Xiao Huan's line of sight Lei Xiao noticed.
Next to the bed, three chairs were placed in sequence, already connected to the bed through the magic circle on the ground.
"Then let's get started."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and immediately sat on the chairs with Ariel and Wu who couldn't wait.
To be honest, Lei Xiao was still quite nervous because he was going to meet his prospective father-in-law.
When Lei Xiao closed his eyes, he suddenly felt that everything around him became silent, as if his five senses in reality were disconnected, leaving only a black nothingness in front of him.
I don't know how much time passed, but when Lei Xiao's vision returned to emotion, his ears were immediately filled with the cry of killing that resounded through the sky.
In front of him was an endless snowfield, and in the very center of the snowfield was a fierce battlefield with corpses everywhere. (End of chapter)
