Wang Xiao went behind the “mirror” and recognized it at a glance because it left a deep impression on him!
The gray mirror, which was nearly twenty meters in diameter, seemed to have a misty fog in the air. On the half-meter-wide frame of the refined bronze mirror were engraved mysterious patterns that Wang Xiao could not understand. It was the giant ancient bronze mirror created by Lang Buli!
However, the size of this bronze mirror was much larger than when Lang Buli took it out. It was precisely because of this that Wang Xiao had not thought of this when he discovered that it was a mirror.
“So the bright side is the back of the mirror!”
Wang Xiao muttered in realization. Then, a huge doubt surged in his heart. How did Lang Buli’s ancient bronze mirror appear in his territory and become so big?
Moreover, he clearly remembered that this bronze mirror was shattered by the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] in the end. Why was it restored now?
Doubts flashed through his mind like a spring. Before Wang Xiao could sort out his thoughts, there was another soft sound of clothes fluttering. It turned out that Zhou Xiruo couldn’t wait any longer and rushed over.
Seeing the ancient bronze mirror, Zhou Xiruo recognized it almost at a glance.
“Isn’t this Lang Buli’s bronze mirror? Why is it in your territory?”
“You might not believe me, but I want to know too.”
Wang Xiao did not know whether to laugh or cry as he spread his hands. After thinking for a moment, he put on a serious expression and said, “However, I feel that it should be related to the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon].”
“[Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon]?”
“Yeah.”
Wang Xiao nodded. “It’s a ‘sacred beast’ artificially cultivated by the Purple Star. You already know about this, and one of Lang Buli’s missions this time is to bring the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] back.”
Zhou Xiruo nodded, then shook her head. “I know what you’re saying, but I
don’t understand how these two things are related.”
Wang Xiao was at a loss for words, but he still patiently explained, “You should know that soldiers and resources are different. Even if you surrender in the challenge, you will only lose resources and not soldiers, right?”
Zhou Xiruo nodded. Wang Xiao continued, “The [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] is my contract beast. If Lang Buli wants to take it away, he can only issue a lord duel. After shattering my [Lord Core], he can take all the contracts
I have.”
“And this kind of challenge battle happened in my territory. I think Lang Buli once initiated the lord duel, so his [Lord Core] entered my territory. However, he was quickly killed by us, so this battle did not begin.”
Zhou Xiruo nodded in realization. Then, she suddenly smiled bitterly. “Before I met you, I was pitifully weak. I never thought of shattering other people’s [Lord Core]. No wonder I didn’t know this rule!”
Wang Xiao thought back for a moment and realized what was going on. He could not help but smile bitterly. However, after laughing, the problem still had to be resolved.
“What should we do now?”
Zhou Xiruo looked up and sized up the huge bronze mirror. “Should we shatter it directly?”
“…I’m afraid it’ll be very difficult.”
As Wang Xiao spoke, he reached out and knocked on the foggy mirror. This time, he didn’t feel “nothing”. Instead, he made a soft clanging sound.
“Let’s not talk about what material this mirror is made of. I remember Lang Buli saying that this is his [Lord Core]. Now that the lord is gone, the lord duel no longer exists—”
At this point, Wang Xiao suddenly stopped and pulled Zhou Xiruo back dozens of meters. “Our attacks might be ineffective.”
Before he could finish his sentence, Wang Xiao took out a white-quality [Skill Card] out of thin air. As soon as it was torn open, it burned into a fireball and smashed towards the ancient bronze mirror!
Clang!
A loud bell-like sound swept out and instantly forced Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo back more than ten meters. However, when the flames were extinguished, there was no trace left on the gray mirror.
“See, I told you it was useless.”
Wang Xiao had already expected this and shrugged. Actually, even if the lord duel could be carried out, he was not confident that he could shatter this ancient bronze mirror.
After all, during the academy’s ranking assessment, this mirror was still strong under everyone’s bombardment. Now that it was only him and Zhou Xiruo, it was obvious that the success rate was negligible.
“But we can’t just do nothing, right?”
Zhou Xiruo said helplessly. There was a hint of vigilance on her face. “Although
Lang Buli is already dead, I still feel a little uncomfortable leaving his [Lord Core] here…”
Wang Xiao sighed and did not say anything. However, he had the same feeling in his heart. However, the reality in front of him was that they could not do anything about this mirror.
Wang Xiao frowned and pondered for a moment. He accidentally saw the other two [Lord Core] in the distance and suddenly had an idea. “Why don’t we get Uncle Tang here?”
“That’s right! Why didn’t I think of that!”
Zhou Xiruo’s eyes lit up. “He’s a level five lord. He definitely knows how to deal with it. Furthermore, he’s your vassal lord. He can enter our territory directly!”
“That’s right!”
Wang Xiao nodded heavily and then sent a message to Tang Longji through the [vassal contract]. However, the other party seemed to be busy and didn’t respond for a long time.
Helpless, Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo could only land on the ground and begin to organize the messy resources. From time to time, they would look up. That “mirror” had been quietly floating in the air, as if it was not threatening at all.
After more than an hour, the two of them had already sorted out all the resources. Tang Longji finally arrived late.
“Wang Xiao! Congratulations to Yuheng for winning the championship!”
As soon as Tang Longji appeared, he cupped his hands in congratulations. After saying that, he looked at the four [Lord Cores] in the air and immediately revealed a puzzled expression. “What’s going on? Did you take in another vassal?”
“No, it’s actually a mirror.”
Wang Xiao let out a bitter laugh before recounting the entire incident in detail, only intentionally omitting the news that the Purple Star would launch an all-out war against the Blue Planet in thirty days.
As for the rest of the content, although the military repeatedly asked Wang Xiao to keep it a secret, Tang Longji was also involved, so Wang Xiao felt that there was no need to hide it.
Moreover, this involved how to deal with Lang Buli’s [Lord Core]. Hence, Wang Xiao started to analyze the origin and function of the bronze mirror. He explained everything in detail.
Tang Longji didn’t say anything for a long time after hearing this. Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo were also patient and didn’t urge him. After all, they knew that there was a lot of information contained in this information. People who hadn’t experienced it personally would indeed need some time to digest it.
Ten minutes later, Tang Longji finally opened his mouth. “So you asked me to come here because you want to know how to deal with the [Lord Core]?”
Wang Xiao and Zhou Xiruo nodded repeatedly. Tang Longji continued, “The solution is very simple. You just need to use your [Lord Core] to devour and assimilate it.”
“That simple?”
Hearing this, Wang Xiao revealed a suspicious expression.. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Tang Longji, but he felt that the other party hadn’t finished speaking…
