Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 1644 Puzzles and Speculations

Without any warning, the brilliant starry sky above the small square where the group was located flashed and was replaced by a flaming sky. In the blink of an eye, everything returned to normal.

"This is……"

Lei Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, and all the powerful men under his command who had stayed in Bingshi City also had the same surprised look.

Although the sky was not the familiar light blue due to the different attributes of the God-favored places, everyone was sure that this Shadow Market had obviously just undergone a space teleportation.

"What's going on? Didn't they say the banquet will be held by the Elf River?"

Zhen also noticed something strange at the first moment, frowned slightly and asked, "Why did the transmission suddenly start?"

Directly opposite Jane, the expressions of the light elves were similar. They all looked up at the starry sky above their heads with confusion.

By observing the subtle changes in the positions of the stars, the powerful men have realized that although they don't know where they are outside the city now, they are obviously far away from the Elf River where the dinner is being held.

Filled with surprise and confusion, the light elves and dark elves on both sides of the fountain no longer cared about the confrontation and began to look at each other.

"Don't you think it's a bit strange?"

Lei Xiao walked over surrounded by the powerful men and said, "From the initial postponement of the dinner, to the temporary holding of the special market, to the managers who were supposed to accompany us throughout the whole process receiving orders to stay where they were, until we were teleported to this market directly under the Brotherhood, and even during the teleportation process, the destination of the teleportation array was constantly adjusted... Tonight is simply full of abnormalities."

After hearing Lei Xiao's words, both the light elves and the dark elves nodded slightly and thoughtfully.

As elves, known for their wisdom and calmness, they had all long since realized this in their hearts.

It's just that because they have been wary of each other, they haven't completely focused on these things. After all, this is the Miying Market, a platform for trade and even communication among all races. Its credibility and reputation are unquestionable, and there has never been any mistake.

Now thinking back carefully, there was indeed something strange about the market tonight, especially the sudden teleportation just now, which was even more puzzling.

"Your Majesty is right. At first I thought the dinner was postponed because the Shadow Market was not well prepared. Now it seems that things are not that simple."

Zhen rested his chin on one hand and said thoughtfully, "The destination of the teleportation array we stepped into was indeed constantly adjusted, resulting in only our team appearing here, and the sudden teleportation of the entire market just now was completely unreasonable."

"Perhaps the constant adjustment of the teleportation array is just to divert distinguished guests like us. What's so strange about this?"

The leader of the light elf army glanced at Zhen and said calmly, "Perhaps the organizer has some special arrangements. You dark elves usually like to sneak around and plot intrigues. Do you think that others are the same as you?"

Originally, he was also full of confusion, but in order to satirize the dark elves such as Zhen, he chose this statement.

"Then how do you explain this sudden teleportation just now? The dinner was held in this directly affiliated market, and the location was stated to be on the banks of the Elf River. No matter how you think about it, there is no need to teleport to another place, right?"

Jane crossed her arms and said sharply, "It seems that you, a bunch of hypocrites who claim to be righteous, are just a bunch of brainless fools."

"You, you guy, seem to be determined to compete with us here?"

The commander of the Light Elf Legion was obviously a little broken, and his handsome face turned gloomy again.

The other powerful light elves also had angry expressions on their faces and were ready to fight.

"Do we think we are afraid of you?"

Zhen snorted coldly, and the aura around him suddenly surged, and the other powerful dark elves around him all had the same look.

For a moment, the two sides, each with five demigod warriors, were full of momentum, as if a shocking battle would break out at any time.

Seeing this scene, not only the strong men under Lei Xiao, but even those individual strong men frowned tightly.

The situation is still unclear, and these arrogant guys are still making trouble on their own, which is simply adding fuel to the fire.

"If you want to let a third party take advantage of you, you can just fight to the death."

Lei Xiao's calm voice rang out, echoing in everyone's ears.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? Where did this third party force come from?"

Zhen turned around and asked Lei Xiao in confusion.

The light elves were the same, and they all cast doubtful glances at Lei Xiao.

"Please think about this carefully. There are so many Shadow Markets gathered along the Elf River. Why did this directly affiliated market suddenly teleport after we arrived?"

Lei Xiao looked at the teams of light elves and dark elves in turn and asked questions.

"Your Majesty, are you saying that this directly affiliated market was suddenly moved somewhere else in order to avoid other markets around it?"

Zhen quickly reacted and blurted out in surprise, "But if it's a market directly under the Market Brotherhood, there's no need to do this, unless this market has been occupied by an unknown force?!"

"What nonsense! It is said that the defense strength of these directly affiliated markets is comparable to that of the main cities of our first-class forces. How could they be occupied by unknown forces?"

The leader of the Light Elf Legion was stunned for a moment, but finally looked at Lei Xiao with an expression of disbelief and said, "The human emperor has a very rich imagination."

Originally, he was extremely disdainful of Lei Xiao, the leader of a second-rate force, but after the previous contact, he found that the latter was much more calm and graceful than he had imagined. In addition, Yaheng and Zhen both maintained a certain respect for the latter, which forced him to put down his arrogance.

"Mr. Commander Rorik, the Human Emperor's guess is not unreasonable. Only in this way can we explain the previous series of abnormal situations. If the other party has just occupied this place and has not yet deployed everything, then it is reasonable to postpone the opening of the dinner."

Another female light elf general stood up and frowned, saying, "As for why the destination of the teleportation array keeps changing and does not point to the same destination, it is probably to disperse the combat power of our guests. In other words, this is most likely a carefully planned trap."

"This……"

The commander of the Light Elf Legion named Rorik was speechless for a moment and did not express any further opinions.

In fact, he had already vaguely thought of this in his mind, but he did not dare to confirm it. After all, all this was too unbelievable. The occupation of the Shadow Market had never happened since the Blank Era.

Following Rorik's silence, the scene suddenly became extremely tense.

This was not because the light elves and the dark elves were still confronting each other, but because an irrepressible solemnity was rising in everyone's hearts.

If something unusual really happened in this film market, then the target would obviously be these VIPs.

The most crucial thing is that if all this is true, then the unknown enemy who can occupy this place is obviously extremely powerful. With their small number of people, they are probably in great danger.

At that moment, many strong men took out their weapons and held them tightly in their hands.

"Everyone, after all, this is just our guess. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding."

Lei Xiao stood up again, nodded to everyone and said, "But even if it's just for our own safety, at least before we arrive at the banquet venue to meet other distinguished guests, I hope we can stand together tightly. After all, more people means more power."

"I agree with the Human Majesty."

Zhen was the first to express her opinion. She nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "It's always right to be cautious. Only by preparing for the worst and making corresponding preparations can we remain standing."

"whispering sound."

Rorik just snorted, and he and the other light elves tacitly agreed to Lei Xiao's proposal and no longer confronted the dark elves.

As for those individual strong men, there is no need to say more, they have already followed Lei Xiaoma's lead.

Seeing that Lei Xiao quickly took control of the entire situation, all the powerful men under his command and the leaders of their clans were awe-inspiring but also excited.

His Majesty is indeed extraordinary. Even when facing these top powerhouses from first-rate forces, he remains neither humble nor overbearing, and even takes the initiative. This is something they dare not even think about!

Among them, Anna, who had been hiding her strength and following Lei Xiao silently, looked extremely excited.

As someone who possesses the blood of both light elves and dark elves, she knows how incompatible the two are.

And just a few words from His Majesty made the two teams of powerful elves stop confronting each other temporarily. This undoubtedly gave her a glimmer of hope. Perhaps His Majesty could really fulfill his promise to her and make the light elves and dark elves no longer incompatible!

"Okay, now that we have reached an agreement, let's walk side by side. If we encounter any emergencies, we can take care of each other."

Lei Xiao came over with a group of strong men and nodded to Zhen and Rorik.

The two of them didn't say anything else and stood on the left and right sides of Lei Xiao's team.

"Haha, what are you doing, my dear guests? Why do you look like you are at war?"

Just as everyone lined up, a team of market guards turned over from a nearby street entrance.

The captain of the market guard was stunned at first, and then said with a tone full of enthusiasm and apology: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I will guide you to the banquet venue now."

"Wait, before that, Captain, don't you have anything to say?"

Rorik did not move, but questioned the other party.

If it was before Lei Xiao's reminder, he might have continued to observe the situation as he walked, but now that things had come to this, he naturally had to get things clear first. After all, what he represented now was not just the light elves, but he was standing together with all the guests present.

"What do you mean, Your Excellency?"

The tone of the captain of the market guard was full of confusion, and he looked at the market guards around him, all of whom looked extremely innocent.

"Stop pretending. Why were we teleported here? Where are the other VIPs? What happened to the teleportation to the market just now? Where are we now?"

Jane took over the conversation and asked several questions in one breath: "If you can't give us a perfect explanation, we will not leave here."

"Your Excellency, this is a bit embarrassing for me. I am just a nobody, how can I know the arrangements of the market elders?"

The captain of the market guards' tone was full of helplessness. He spread his hands towards Zhen and said, "However, I can tell you all that this trip will definitely be worthwhile. The Council of Elders has prepared a big surprise for you."

"Oh?"

Hearing the sound, everyone's eyes were filled with vigilance, but also a hint of curiosity.

Could it be that the postponement of the dinner, the market teleportation just now, and the fact that only our team was teleported here were all due to the special arrangements of the market elders' council, and the market was not actually occupied by unknown forces? Thinking about it this way, it was reasonable.

"My dear guests, do you think that something has happened to this market directly under the Council of Elders?"

The captain of the market guard laughed and waved his hand, saying, "You distinguished guests have a very rich imagination. Don't worry, our Misty Shadow Market has never had any problems in the past three thousand years, let alone this market with the most strict defenses and directly under the market elders' council?"

Hearing the sound, the vigilance in the eyes of the light elves where Rorik was, the dark elves where Zhen was, as well as our powerful men and individual powerful men, was more or less weakened. Perhaps I was really overthinking it.

"Captain is right. It seems that we are a little too nervous."

Lei Xiao's nervous expression also eased a little, and he took out a sparkling gem from his arms as if inadvertently, and asked the other party: "I got this thing by chance not long ago. I wonder if you know the origin of this thing?"

"Your Excellency, you are joking. I am just a guard, not an appraiser in the market. How can I have the eyes to see the clues of this thing?"

The captain of the market guard smiled and waved his hand, responding: "If Your Excellency needs anything, I will introduce you to a senior market appraiser when we get to the banquet venue."

"Then I'll trouble you, Captain."

Lei Xiao put the gem away casually, and then said calmly: "In that case, please lead the way."

"Haha, that's exactly what I meant. Please follow me, my dear guests."

The captain of the guard nodded to everyone, then turned around and began to lead the way.

But in the next second, Lei Xiao's action caught everyone present by surprise. (End of this chapter)
