"Father, what have you thought of?"
Seeing that the old king seed to be thinking of sothing, Ariel's starry eyes lit up and she asked quickly.
"At the end of the banquet and when everyone was preparing to leave, I once slled a strange fragrance of flowers."
The old king froze his eyebrows and carefully recalled everything at that ti: "It was a special taste mixed with a touch of sour and sweet, and mixed with the faint fragrance of cold fla lily of the valley."
"Slightly sweet and sour and the fragrance of cold fla lily of the valley?"
Ariel frowned slightly and pondered for a mont, then confird: "Father, is it possible that the sll of a certain representative is mixed with the fragrance of Cold Fla Lily of the Valley?"
"If I rember correctly, the most frequently displayed plant in the second VIP restaurant is the lily of the valley, which is my father's favorite."
After Ariel finished speaking, Erza nodded and said thoughtfully: "What Her Royal Highness the Princess said makes sense. I heard that Vice President Alfred of the Cold Fla Branch of the Alchemist Guild often spends ti there. It is reasonable for him to have so special sll among the treasures of heaven and earth."
"I thought so at first, so I didn't take it to heart, but after careful reflection, I found that things were not that simple."
The old king took a slow and deep breath, and then said with a solemn expression: "The Cold Fla Lily of the Valley in the second VIP restaurant had not yet blood, so the fragrance could never be from the real Cold Fla Lily of the Valley."
"The most important thing is that after careful recall, I can completely confirm that this sll did not appear at the beginning, but suddenly appeared at the end of the banquet, which can completely exclude the sll from the other three representatives."
When he said this, the old king had a look of determination on his face and affird: "I think the problem is probably caused by this special sll!"
"Does it have the special aroma of Cold Fla Lily of the Valley? It is indeed a suspicious thing worth noting. After all, this special aroma cannot appear out of thin air."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, but then he thought of an extrely critical question.
"But if the source really cos from this special fragrance, it is impossible that only my father can sll it. Why are everyone else present safe and sound?"
Ariel said what Lei Xiao was thinking, her fair face full of confusion: "This is simply unbelievable."
"What Her Royal Highness the Princess said is absolutely true. The old minister conducted a detailed investigation afterwards and found that except for Your Majesty, everyone present at the ti was not feeling unwell."
Wu nodded slightly and added: "In addition, the magic protection asures in the Lion's Castle are the best among the best. It is absolutely impossible to use any illusion or other confusing techniques there."
After saying nothing, Xiao Huan also nodded.
She is extrely sensitive to illusions and various illusion counterasures, and can clearly sense them.
Not only in the Lion's Castle, but also in every corner of the Cold Fla Palace, no illusion could be successfully perford.
Just when everyone was confused, Lei Xiao frowned and thought for a mont, and then said: "If the culprit is really that special sll and His Majesty is the only one who is sick, this is indeed an unexplainable contradiction, but this Its sothing you cant ignore.
"So I think we should do a two-step process on this."
"The first is to further confirm the information about the special sll with the maid guards who were present at the ti."
"Of course, in order to avoid attracting the dissatisfaction of the three neutral organizations and the attention of the Black Abyss Brotherhood, the three chief representatives present cannot be asked about this matter for the ti being."
"The second is to look for clues from the sll itself. It has the special aroma of Cold Fla Lily of the Valley. Perhaps this is the key to solving His Majesty's condition."
"When these two things are all clarified, the contradiction may not be so important for the ti being. After all, our main purpose at this stage is to heal His Majesty the old King."
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, everyone present nodded in agreent and beca excited again.
Although everything is still hazy now, at least there is a glimr of hope to find out the reason for the illness of His Majesty the old King!
"Your Majesty, apart from the noon banquet, is there anything else worth noting?"
After repeatedly confirming every detail of the noon banquet, Lei Xiao continued to ask.
"The banquet lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon, and then I sent soone to see off the three chief representatives."
The old king narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to recall everything that happened that day.
"After all the delegates left, I returned to the study room in the Lion's Castle and began to make preparations for the eting. It was not until dinner that I suddenly felt dizzy. It was difficult to mobilize the energy in my body, and I soon lost it. Awareness."
After the old king finished speaking, he sighed heavily.
All of this happened too suddenly and unprepared. If I had given myself another three days to prepare, I would never have allowed this power dispute to develop so unscrupulously.
Feeling regretful in his heart, the old king looked at Lei Xiao and Ariel in front of him, and his heart quickly cald down again.
In any case, the Cold Fla Kingdom was not destroyed in his own hands.
The young alien and his daughter in front of him not only saved the innocent Lengyan people, but also prevented him from becoming the eternal sinner who caused the collapse of the Lengyan Tower.
"So, His Majesty has never left the Lion's Castle? Then the only clue is the mysterious aroma at the luncheon."
Lei Xiao sorted everything out, smiled at the old king and said: "Your Majesty, I will definitely investigate this clue to the end, find the root of your Majesty's serious illness as soon as possible, and then prescribe the right dicine. By then, your Majesty will be close to recovery." It couldnt be further away.
"My husband's kindness will never be forgotten. If he hadn't found a way to et when I was about to run out of energy, I might never see Ellie in this life, and how could I recover?"
The old king once again bowed to Lei Xiao, caressing his chest, and said sincerely: "Thank you again, sir, for not only saving my daughter, but also saving the Kingdom of Lengyan!"
When he said this, the old king seed to have thought of sothing, and said solemnly: "Sir, although it is a bit inappropriate, I still want to remind you that the surrounding countries will not allow the Kingdom of Cold Fla to grow and develop."
"Now that Leng Yan's vitality is greatly weakened, both the palace and the people are in dire straits waiting to be revitalized. It is at the ti when the strength is at its weakest. Those countries of tigers and wolves will never let go of this excellent opportunity."
The old king's face beca more solemn, and he said seriously: "A life and death battle that determines survival will probably co soon."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I understand this clearly. This ti, either the Six Kingdoms will devour , or I will wait for an opportunity to conquer the Six Kingdoms. There will never be a third possibility."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly and nodded to the old king.
"Conquer the Six Kingdoms?"
Hearing the sound, everyone present was startled, but imdiately felt relieved.
In the realm of the human race, I am afraid that only Lei Xiao can say or even realize such incredible words.
Of course, the premise is that there is enough ti.
However, even if ti is limited, as long as this young man from another world still stands on the top of the Cold Fla, this kingdom will remain high and everlasting!
After all, he has created incredible war miracles again and again. Who can guarantee that miracles will not happen again?
"Sir's words are always so inspiring. With his words, I feel relieved."
The old king's resolute face was full of relief and security, and he nodded to Lei Xiao and Ariel beside him: "I can hand over the supre authority to your hands, and I have nothing to worry about."
"Your Majesty, you're welco. Ti is tight and it's important to find the mysterious scent, so I won't bother you further."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then nodded to Xiao Huan, signaling for him to end his dormant state.
But at this mont, Lei Xiao noticed.
Ariel next to him looked obviously reluctant to leave.
It's no wonder, after all, for Ariel, the encounter with her father was too short.
"Then please stay with Your Majesty for a while, Your Majesty. You must have a lot to say between you."
Lei Xiao gently patted Ariel's shoulder. After seeing the latter's grateful eyes, he quickly left the place in the old king's subconscious with the help of Xiao Huan and Erza. The vast snowfield.
With a flash of gray light, Lei Xiao's eyes fell into darkness again.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already back in the softly lit king's bedroom.
Seeing Lei Xiao wake up, other subordinates on standby imdiately surrounded him.
Lei Xiao stood up from the chair and first glanced at the haggard old king on the bed and Ariel, who was still imrsed in a dormant state, and signaled everyone not to disturb them.
He imdiately ca to the other side of the bedroom and inford the surrounding subordinates of what had just happened.
During this process, Wu Ze followed Lei Xiao's instructions and went to question the maids and guards who were on duty that day.
"Slightly sour and sweet, and the fragrance of cold fla lily of the valley? Coupled with the characteristics of poor energy circulation in the body..."
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Garth gently stroked his gray beard, with a thoughtful look on his old face.
After a while, Gals slapped his forehead and suddenly said, "Lord, my subordinates seem to have found so clues about this special fragrance!"
"oh?"
Lei Xiao's dark eyes lit up, and he imdiately asked: "Senior Ice Demon, please tell ."
"To be honest with you Lord, when I first entered the door, my subordinates felt that the fragrance of cold fla lily of the valley was sowhat familiar."
Gals twirled his beard lightly, frowned slightly and said: "After hearing the lord's description of the fragrance, my subordinates thought hard for a long ti, and finally found the root cause in their minds, which was a special magic that had been extinct in the blank era. Plant-like: Sweet king flower!
"Sweet King Flower?"
After hearing Gals' words, not only Lei Xiao, but also well-inford fifth-level powerhouses such as Jiang Lei and Hong Ye couldn't help but look over with curiosity.
It's no wonder that plants that have been extinct since the blank era have long been lost in the torrent of history.
"Senior Gals, since this magical plant has long been extinct, how did you know about it?"
Sarah tilted her head in confusion and blurted out.
"It sounds like it was just a coincidence."
Garth first smiled kindly at Sarah, then nodded and said, "Lord, do you still rember what your subordinate once said about the source of ice energy being discovered in a thousand-year-old ice cave?"
"Rember."
Lei Xiao thought about it for a mont, and then quickly ca up with it.
It was that ice energy source that allowed Xue Ya to advance to the fourth level of power and master a higher level of alchemy.
"It was because of that trip to the ice cave that I accidentally discovered a sweet king flower frozen in the ice."
Upon hearing this, the curiosity on Lei Xiao's face beca more obvious, and he nodded to indicate to the other party to continue.
"Lord, in order to find the suitable ten thousand year ice for refining the Ice Knight, my subordinates accidentally found the source of ice energy. In their excitent, they continued deep into the ice cave until they were blocked by a huge piece of ice."
"And what is sealed in the ice is a sweet king flower that is as big as a pine tree and has long been extinct."
"At that ti, my subordinates didn't know what kind of plant it was, and they sensed that the needed Ten Thousand Years Ice was behind the huge ice, so after making sufficient preparations, they broke through the ice and removed the Sweet King plant. The flower is released.
"After careful inspection, I discovered that the sweet king flower had no roots and was actually dead before it was frozen. But just when I relaxed, I slled a scent of Lord Lord. What I ntioned just now is similar to the special fragrance of Lengyan Linglan."
"After inadvertently inhaling the aroma, my subordinate had no ti to react. He suddenly felt that the energy flow in his body was stagnant. He fell to the ground and passed out. When he woke up again, three full days had passed. "
When he said this, Garth swallowed involuntarily. Although the ice cave was inaccessible, it was ho to many powerful ice monsters. It was a miracle that he could survive unhard at that ti.
"After waking up, my ~ was frightened and couldn't help but beco strongly curious about this giant plant that I had never seen before."
"You know, before breaking the ice, my subordinate swallowed 12 different types of high-level anti-venom potions. Even so, he was still unconscious for three days."
After hearing what Garth said, Sarah nodded thoughtfully: "Senior Ice Demon, with the blessing of 12 high-level anti-poison potions, still accidentally got infected, let alone the unsuspecting old king. Your Majesty."
After saying that, Sara's delicate wheat-colored face was filled with curiosity again, and she asked: "Senior Ice Demon, what's next? How did you find out that this is the Sweet King Flower?"
"After leaving the ice cave, I have been extrely curious about the experience at that ti. Following the habit of alchemists, I collected so rhizos, flowers and leaves of plants at that ti as samples. It was not until an accidental opportunity while wandering in the outside world that I finally discovered The true face of the Sweet King Flower.
A hint of mystery appeared on Garth's old face, and he continued to describe.
