Chapter 281 The mysterious thing
As soon as the conversation was connected, Lin and Nan Xing's crisp and sassy voices reached Lei Xiao's ears at the same time: "Good evening, Lord!"
"Good evening."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows in satisfaction.
I have to say, it is really reassuring to hear the clean voices of my two heroic subordinates.
"Lin, let's start with you."
Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, picked up the beautifully engraved silver kettle on the side, poured himself a cup of freshly boiled mountain spring water, and said.
"Yes! Lord!"
Lin's capable report came again: "Just as the lord expected, shortly after you left, Princess Ariel summoned her subordinates to her room alone and began to ask for information about you. ”
"Oh? Is that really the case..."
Lei Xiao first picked up his own wooden cup, took a sip of warm water, and then smiled lightly and said: "It seems that the fifth princess of Leng Yan is really an easy person to see through."
"What the lord said is absolutely true. The issue that the other party is most concerned about is our specific strength and territorial location. And in accordance with the lord's instructions, as an advisor to the city lord of Kongqing Town, my subordinates used an ambiguous way to inform the other party. Delivered a series of incredible information.”
Lin's rustling voice sounded again: "For example, the lord's territory is in a certain monster lair deep in the Baibu Mountains. Some people also saw the lord riding a real dragon soaring in the sky. Wait..."
“Very good.”
Lei Xiao nodded and showed a satisfied smile.
In this world, dragons are extremely proud and powerful creatures.
The lowest level of strength is above the fifth level, and the sixth-level purple-winged dragon that I once saw in the half-elf illusion is an extremely terrifying existence.
But because this continent is extremely vast, and the Dragon Clan is a rare race with a very strong sense of territory and will hardly leave its territory, it is difficult to meet them.
However, in the long history of the human race, there were indeed many dragon knights.
These dragon knights are all legendary figures, respected and worshiped by thousands of people.
Only with the heartfelt approval of the Dragon Clan can this noble and powerful creature bend down and become a willing mount.
And this is often something that more than 99% of high-level experts cannot do, even if they are stronger.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's face showed a hint of expectation again, and he murmured in his heart: "Maybe I can conquer a dragon in the future, it's still unknown."
After regaining his composure, Lei Xiao put down the wooden cup in his hand and said leisurely to Nian Hua: "After all these words, Princess Ariel is still in a state of confusion, right?"
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, while looking at the half-empty water in the wooden cup, he continued to ask: "By the way, Lin, does the other party have any doubts about the identity of your city lord's advisor?"
< br>
"Back to the lord, Princess Ariel has indeed tested my subordinates from the side many times."
Lin's respectful voice immediately came over: "However, according to the Lord's instructions, my subordinates used their identities as members of the Shangluc family to infiltrate the lords of other worlds as a cover, and did not reveal any flaws."
"Very good."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask: "Has the other party mentioned any other matters?"
"Back to the lord, in addition to this, Princess Ariel also inquired in detail about the geographical environment around Kongqing Town, especially the other surrounding towns. She seems to be very interested."
Lin's crisp response sounded again.
"Oh?"
After listening to Lin's answer, Lei Xiao's face once again showed a trace of deep thought, and he said thoughtfully: "It seems that Ariel is on her mission to Kongqing Town this time, in addition to avoiding the power struggle in the royal capital. Obviously there are other purposes.”
"Lord, regarding this matter, my subordinates and Nanyue also discovered some clues during the surveillance process."
This time, the sharp sound like wind chimes from the South Star reached Lei Xiao's ears: "After Lin left, the Lengyan Princess found two fourth-level powerhouses who were traveling with her, Giant Ax General Bert and Shengguang. During this period, the two generals, Orange and White, besides complaining that the lord was too...strong, also mentioned "that matter" several times. ”
"However, the three of them did not discuss this matter in detail. They just decided to settle down for a period of time so that you can relax your vigilance before making other plans."
There was a hint of helplessness in Nan Xing's voice, and he added: "So, my subordinates haven't figured out what "that thing" is. ”
"This fifth princess never said anything good about me behind my back."
Lei Xiao curled his lips and raised his eyebrows and said: "Since the other party plans to be stable for a period of time, it will naturally be the best for us to poach people."
After a pause, Lei Xiao looked at the rippling water patterns in the wooden cup and asked again: "Lin, how is the identity background investigation of the other party's entourage going?"
"Back to the lord, my subordinates divided the opponent's entourage into three parts, namely two fourth-level kingdom generals, five third-level personal maids, and two squadrons of guards members and other chores. Personnel.”
Lin's mature and steady clear voice rang out again: "Currently, they are all under secret investigation. I believe we will be able to get some clues soon."
"Very well, you all did a great job."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then stood up from the metal throne at the top of the hall.
I saw him moving his muscles while concluding: "In this case, the focus of the next action must still be on monitoring Ariel and investigating the identity of the entourage."
"Only by clarifying the specific information of some of the entourage, can we take the right medicine and dig out the corner of the Leng Yan Princess in a targeted manner to obtain more useful information about the other party."
Having said this, Lei Xiao pondered and nodded, and added: "Of course, we must also pay close attention to the so-called "that matter" and find out the other party's other purpose of coming here as soon as possible. ”
"Yes! Lord!"
On the other side of the conversation, the capable voices of Lin and Nan Xing reached Lei Xiao's ears at the same time.
After a few more instructions to the two of them, Lei Xiao stopped talking and began to walk upstairs in the mansion.
Next, it is naturally time to recharge and face the new day.
"It seems that there are really a lot of curious things about Ariel."
After a while, Lei Xiao, who was lying on the spacious bed, couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.
"However, now that you are here with me, many things cannot be decided by this proud fifth princess of Leng Yan." (End of Chapter)
