Chapter 1498 The Surprise of the Brave
"There's someone there!"
Noticing the little girl, the group perked up and opened their eyes wide. This deserted ancient city finally had traces of human beings!
However, before anyone could step forward, the little girl quickly turned and ran around the corner, leaving the end of the street empty again.
"Why are you guys shouting so loudly? You must have scared her!"
Jasmine put her hands on her hips, looking extremely helpless, while Lei Xiao immediately followed with everyone else.
The group had just started walking for a short while when something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, a large number of people emerged from the corner of the street and came towards us.
For a moment, the originally empty streets were completely blocked, which was a huge contrast.
"Why are there so many people suddenly here?"
Seeing this, our people who had been hoping to see a human figure just now tightened their weapons and became extremely cautious.
"It's the heroes! The heroes who are going to save us are here!"
All I heard was the whole crowd of strangers boiling with excitement, rushing over like a tide, simply swarming in.
"Brave? What does that mean?"
Lei Xiao waved his hand to signal everyone to form a defensive formation on the spot, and did not relax at all. All this happened too abruptly and inexplicably, and it was always right to respond with caution.
Gray Old Man, Calvin and other strong men who were extremely interested in archaeology were nervous, but they all opened their eyes wide again. These people in front of them were all human, and they were all wearing traditional costumes of the Silver Fire Kingdom, just like ancient humans walking out of history books!
In the blink of an eye, these ancient humans who suddenly appeared surrounded us tightly. Everyone's face was excited and looked joyful.
"Human boy, I'll leave it to you from now on. Let me take my time."
This unexpected scene made Jasmine, who was already confused throughout the whole process, give up thinking completely, and said helplessly to Lei Xiao.
As soon as Jasmine finished speaking, an old man in a brown robe walked out from the ancient crowd and said to everyone with an excited smile: "Dear brave men, I am Booker, the mayor of Guanwang City. Welcome to Guanwang City!"
While listening to the old city lord speak, Lei Xiao further noticed that the other party was holding the hand of a little girl who was also very excited, the one who had just run away.
It seems that the other party was not scared by us, but went to inform us.
"You are too polite, old city lord. So, this place is called Guanwang City?"
Lei Xiao took a step forward and nodded at the other party across the absolute defense barrier.
"That's right, we are all citizens of the Silver Fire Kingdom, Guanwang City."
The old city lord Booker still had a smile on his face and responded.
"It's really the Silver Fire Kingdom?!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and began looking at each other.
Among them, not only the human race strongmen such as Gray Old Man and Calvin who were very knowledgeable about history, but even the strongmen from other regions such as Jasmine opened their eyes wide.
You know, the Silver Fire Kingdom that was destroyed in the blank era was the overlord that led the ancient human race to stand at the top of all races, on par with the elves and other top forces, and was even not inferior to them.
Therefore, the name of the Silver Fire Kingdom is known by some powerful people from outside the domain even now, which is a good example.
"It seems that we have indeed traveled back to before the blank era!"
Bruno's eyes widened and he couldn't help but snort in surprise.
"Excuse me for being blunt, but what blank period before?"
This time, it was Old Booker who was surprised. He cleared his throat and added, "My Lords, isn't it the 3000th year of the Star Era?"
"It is indeed the 3000th year of the Star Era, which is the same time as ours!"
Jasmine exclaimed in disbelief, "But how is this possible?"
After Jasmine said this, everyone else on our side looked at each other and fell into confusion again.
"So, it's not time travel, right?"
When Lei Xiao heard the voice, his heart was filled with confusion and puzzlement.
Since the Silver Fire Kingdom here was not destroyed in the blank era, it undoubtedly means that this is most likely a parallel time and space that is different from the world where one is now!
"Is there really a parallel world here?"
"So, the alien lords who descended on other plates were not blocked by an insurmountable ocean as the legend said, but were in a parallel world that was different from my space?"
"It seems that when I summoned the servants, I didn't open an ordinary portal, but most likely opened a space-time portal!"
After realizing this in his heart, Lei Xiao looked as if he had suddenly become enlightened.
In fact, I had thought about this before. After all, the base number of one billion lords is too large, which means that there are at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of different sectors.
If all these plates exist on the same planet, then the planet is undoubtedly too large.
It’s just that the parallel world is too unbelievable, so I have always been skeptical and not sure about this speculation.
After all, there is a more reasonable guess, that is, this planet is indeed extremely large and vast. The reason why there are so many plates is because a shocking war shattered the entire land and then scattered it all over the planet.
It is also because of this that people in each plate have extremely similar cultures, customs, power systems, monetary systems, and even social structures.
However, after experiencing that blank age, the remaining people have forgotten too many things, and all the historical books of reference value have been destroyed. It is impossible to determine whether the land was shattered during the blank age, or whether it had already been in this state of numerous plates before the blank age.
"Wait, I have asked in detail the subordinates from other plates such as Tiger Stick, Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, and even the Ye brothers who I met not long ago, and learned a lot of information about them."
"The land they are in is not only completely different from here in terms of the distribution of the major forces, but also in terms of topography, and even the shape and size of the entire plate. It is extremely strange."
"If it is really a parallel universe, why is there such a difference? In this case, perhaps the speculation that the entire land was shattered is more reasonable, just like the fragments scattered everywhere, the shapes are all different."
Lei Xiao felt his brain was a mess and continued to think.
Which one is the correct answer? Or both? The plates that I know about are actually shattered, and the place where I am now is the real parallel time and space?
"I have to say, things are really becoming more and more intriguing. Let's first figure out the current situation."
Lei Xiao gathered his thoughts and said to Old Booker, "I'm sorry, Lord City Lord, we just arrived here and are still a little confused about the current situation."
"Your Excellency the Brave One, what are you talking about? It is we who have neglected you all!"
Old Booker waved his hand quickly and responded, "Just now, we were all in the great temple in the center of the city praying and listening to the words of the gods. That's why I didn't greet you brave men right away. I hope you brave men won't blame me."
"So that's how it is. No wonder this place looks like a deserted city."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and nodded thoughtfully.
In those days, a large number of God's chosen sons emerged in the Silver Fire Kingdom, and even many devout human demigods eventually achieved enlightenment and entered the realm of God, becoming new gods.
Therefore, it is not surprising that even today when the gods have gone away, people still retain the traditions of the past.
But then again, even if that's the case, it shouldn't be that we can't sense the slightest bit of their aura or even their popularity, right?
"Your Excellency the Brave One, you may not know that in order to guard against enemies, this city is filled with magic arrays that block breath and vitality. Therefore, unless you are face to face, it is difficult to detect and sense the existence of others."
Old Booker waved his hand slightly, and a large number of magic circle patterns appeared on the walls of the surrounding houses and even on the ground.
These magic arrays were densely packed, covering every corner of the city, and soon they all disappeared.
"What a wonderful magic circle! I didn't even notice it."
A flash of surprise flashed across Jasmine's starry eyes, and she blurted out, "It's simply unbelievable."
"Your Excellency the Pink Hero is too kind. We can only lay this kind of magic circle. The one who truly created it is the Lord God!"
There was a hint of reverence in Old Booker's voice, and he waved his hands repeatedly.
"Ancient divine magic left behind by the gods? We have some of it too."
Jasmine nodded after thinking for a moment, and said, "I didn't expect you guys to be so well preserved."
The reason why Jasmine said this is because most of the divine magic passed down by the forest elves are only fragments and cannot be fully performed. Even so, the sophistication of divine magic is definitely beyond human ability.
"Ancient divine magic?"
Old Booker looked at Jasmine with a puzzled look on his face, and asked doubtfully, "Why are you saying that, Mr. Pink Hero? This magic circle was clearly taught to us by the Lord God through divine revelation not long ago. Since the blank era, the Lord God has been very kind to us."
"……What?!"
After hearing the other party's words, our people were stunned for a while, and then there was an uproar again.
According to what the other party said, could it be that the gods have never left this land? Instead, they have always been looking after this place? This is simply a fantasy!
Among the astonished crowd, Lei Xiao could hardly believe his ears.
Since the blank era, the gods no longer favor this strange world, but it is the consensus of everyone, even the other plates that he has learned about, and there has never been an exception. How could the gods always favor this place?
While being surprised, Lei Xiao also noticed that Old Booker was also wearing a badge of God's favor on his chest. Not only Old Booker, but also several residents were wearing the same badge. They were obviously the chosen sons of God!
"You all seem very surprised. Did I say something that surprised you?"
Looking at our people who were extremely surprised, Old Booker and other residents began to look at each other in bewilderment.
"Nothing, there are just some cognitive differences between us."
Lei Xiao waved his hands and tried to calm himself down.
Lei Xiao gathered his thoughts and asked again, "Your Excellency City Lord, so the reason you call us heroes is because the gods told you so, right?"
"That's right, the Lord God said that a new hero will come today to help us fight against those terrible enemies!"
Old Booker nodded heavily and said solemnly: "To be honest with you, my dear heroes, this Guanwang City is already on the verge of destruction. Once those enemies arrive, everything will be destroyed."
After Old Booker said this, the other residents all looked gloomy and uneasy, and the little girl even tightly grasped the corner of Old Nick's robe, obviously very scared.
"Enemy? Lord City Lord, what kind of enemy is that?"
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao frowned and asked with a frown.
"To be honest, my lord, the enemy we are waiting for is..."
Just as Old Nick was about to give the answer, there was a surge of energy around him, and a group of figures carrying longbows and quivers fell from the sky and landed in front of Old Booker.
The middle-aged general in silver light armor saluted Old Nick and reported: "Your Excellency the City Lord, we just found a group of silhouettes in the city! But after shooting a round of arrows, they quickly disappeared!"
"What's even more surprising is that the group of guys whose outlines were only visible suddenly reappeared, and when I got closer to check, they disappeared again!"
"I think this is most likely a conspiracy used by the enemy!"
After the middle-aged general finished speaking, he looked at Lei Xiao and the others and asked, "Lord City Lord, these gentlemen are the heroes, right? Eh? Why do they look a bit like those silhouettes?"
"Don't be so blunt. How could you, the brave ones, be plotting something?"
Old Booker frowned, waved the sleeve of his robe and said, "Why don't you step down?"
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao and Jasmine looked at each other.
The situation described by the other party was exactly the same as what we had just encountered, except that the perspective had changed, and it was our group that turned into those outlines.
Apart from this, our experience was undoubtedly exactly the same as theirs.
"Looking closely, the warriors led by this middle-aged general are exactly the same as those we saw just now, both in appearance and equipment. Could it be that they were really them?"
Lei Xiao carefully recalled the previous scene, and pondered in his heart: "But we both saw each other as outlines, and even suddenly disappeared. What is going on?"
"So that's how it is, I know!"
Jasmine's eyes lit up, and she obviously realized something. (End of this chapter)
