Chapter 337 Return and Hall Meeting【5K】
"Okay, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave here first."
Looking at the towering stone wall in front of him and the dark surrounding environment, Lei Xiao, who returned home with a full load, smiled lightly and said to the subordinates surrounding him.
After that, under the leadership of Lei Xiao.
The subordinates, Ariel and the other three people did not say anything else. They all flashed and began to fly towards the entrance of the underground square.
Following the route he came from, he sped along the long and ancient corridor, stirring up bursts of dust.
Not long after, Lei Xiao and his group of more than ten people arrived directly outside the bell tower.
Returning to the cold moonlit night, Lei Xiao noticed while feeling the cool night breeze with a strong smell of blood.
At this time, the shouts of killing coming from the north of the city gradually died down, leaving only the billowing smoke and the sky-high firelight, still billowing back and forth in the sky.
It seemed that the Goblin Legion, sensing something bad was going on, had begun to retreat.
"Now that the crisis in Luolong City has been resolved, we can return to Kongqing Town with confidence."
Retracting his distant gaze, Lei Xiao nodded to the people around him.
Immediately afterwards, the group of people, clad in stars and moons, were speeding along between the plains and mountains.
Not long after, the familiar city outline quickly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
From this distance, one can clearly see the longing figures on the wall of Kongqing Town.
During this time, under Lei Xiao's order.
Because Kongqing Town is reinforcing the city walls and digging moats, and it is already a prosperous commercial town.
Therefore, the entire city is still brightly lit inside and outside, making it look very friendly.
Speaking of which, on the way back.
Lei Xiao started to recite again and briefly described the series of situations that had just happened to Chuan Gu, Shi Feng, Guan Zhong, Xuan Yue and Nate who were not present. Everyone was amazed.
Also on the way back, Lei Xiao also noticed.
Ariel, who had been hovering not far from him, cast a somewhat urgent gaze over her several times, intentionally or unintentionally.
She was obviously very curious about what happened inside the resting place of her ancestors.
After successfully entering the city, Lei Xiao and his party went straight back to the city lord's mansion.
Then he came back to the castle hall, which was illuminated by light crystals as bright as day.
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was sitting at the top, was seen tilting his head slightly while holding up the steaming teacup.
When he found Ariel, he followed her as expected and sat on the shorter luxury seat, still looking eager but pretending to be indifferent.
"My dear Fifth Princess, why don't you go back and rest?"
Lei Xiao took a sip of fragrant tea, raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly.
At this moment, Lei Xiao understood clearly.
In order to finally conquer the arrogant Ariel, in addition to starting from the people around her.
The equally important step is naturally to severely dampen his spirit.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao frowned slightly again.
"Having said that, if Ariel was also in the main hall at that time, things would have been much simpler. It seems that we have to hurry up and find the Holy Yun Stone that can help Wang Xi recover some energy."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao couldn't help but recall the conversation with the hero king Xi Sa, or the time traveler Wang Xi, in the hall, and continued to think.
You can tell from the other party's words.
This world is far more complex than I imagined.
As for the authenticity of his words, there should be no doubt.
Moreover, as you progress, you can also get confirmation one by one.
There is no need to worry about this.
In addition, the opponent's prompt talent is quite interesting.
However, as the other party said, his system interface is just like a beta version.
Interfaces such as the trading center, chat channel, and private messages cannot be viewed.
"Thinking about it this way, could it be said that the other party's time travel is really a test before the billions of lords travel? If that is the case, then the matter will undoubtedly be more intriguing."
Just when Lei Xiao was holding the steaming tea cup, he thought of this.
Ariel finally couldn't help it, and responded with a slight frown on her eyebrows: "Don't you plan to tell this princess what happened when you were transported to the resting place of my ancestors?"
Judging from Ariel's somewhat annoyed white face, she was obviously still brooding over why she was not the one who was teleported, but this annoying guy in front of her.
However, a big question mark couldn't help but arise in Ariel's heart.
"If you think about it from another aspect, since the ancestors chose this annoying guy, does it mean that... he is really not an ordinary person?"
Thinking of this, Ariel unconsciously looked around. Huzhang, Ye Cang, Chao Yan and others who were standing respectfully at the bottom seemed to be more convinced of her own idea.
However, she immediately threw this idea away and shook her head slightly: "It's impossible, it must be because of the long years that have caused problems with the magic circle itself. Otherwise, the ancestors must have Will choose me as the descendant! ”
"Furthermore, my ancestor is the King of Heroes who single-handedly created the entire Lengyan royal family. How could he choose this guy who came from another world?"
On the throne, looking at Ariel's extremely complicated expression, Lei Xiao shrugged and continued to think.
"If this proud Princess Leng Yan knew that her ancestors, like me, were all time travelers from Blue Star, would she be so surprised that she would transform?"
"By the way, according to Blue Star's timeline, Wang Xi and I are indeed not much different in age, and we are considered equal to each other. If that is the case, then Ariel will have to call me ancestor. ?”
Thinking of this with some irony, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
At this stage, even if you tell Ariel this, it is impossible for the other party to believe it, and it may even have the opposite effect.
"It's better to wait until you find the Holy Yun Stone, take Ariel with you, and let Wang Xi tell her himself."
"I'm really looking forward to it. What kind of expression will she show when she is so arrogant? But it would be better if she can be subdued before then."
Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao first took a sip of the fragrant tea, and then said: "I wonder, my dear Fifth Princess, what do you want to know? By the way, your ancestor, the hero King Xi Sa, and I are not just here. Chatting there.”
"So, have you really met my ancestor?!"
Hearing this, Ariel suddenly showed a look of surprise. While holding the armrest of the seat tightly, she leaned forward slightly and asked.
The two kingdom generals at the bottom, Bert and Jubai, also began to look at each other, looking up at Lei Xiao in surprise.
In the Kingdom of Cold Flame, the name of the Hero King Xi Sa.
Whether it is to the high-ranking princes or nobles or to ordinary civilians, it is a legendary existence!
However, the most shocked person was naturally Ariel herself.
You know, as the saying goes, debut is the peak, the era of Hero King Xi Sa was the most glorious era of the Cold Flame Kingdom.
At that time, not only Hero King Xi Sa himself finally reached the level of a fifth-level peak powerhouse.
The two most important combat forces under his command, Peilan, the leader of the Royal Terrain Dragon Knights, and Wangyou, the leader of the half-elf archers, are also two peak fifth-level warriors with monstrous strength!
The most important thing is that for Ariel, who grew up listening to the adventure stories of the King of Heroes.
The three words "King of Heroes" undoubtedly hold great weight.
Moreover, ancient books passed down from generation to generation by the Lengyan royal family revealed that the resting place of the ancestor hero King Xisar indeed has some magical secret sealed.
Therefore, it is not impossible for the ancestors to reveal their true form again.
"That's right."
Looking at the shocked expression on Ariel's delicate face, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, "I have to say, you do look somewhat similar to your ancestors, especially your hair."
"Really?"
Hearing Lei Xiao's words, Ariel's fair face suddenly showed a hint of joy, but soon she returned to normal and said with a suspicious look on her face: "Speaking of which, how can you prove that you have indeed seen me?" Ancestor?”
Not far away, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly and said in his heart: "I went in safe and sound and came out intact. Isn't that the best proof?"
Of course, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
He wanted to make Princess Ariel completely believe that she had seen her ancestors.
Naturally, we have to come up with some family secrets that only members of the royal family know.
Therefore, when chatting with Wang Xi at that time.
Lei Xiao specifically asked some questions about this aspect, but Wang Xi ignored them and told them all.
I have to say that when I heard these secrets for the first time, Lei Xiao actually laughed out loud.
"For example, your ancestors told me that all members of Leng Yan's royal family must learn to recite Xiao Jiujiu before entering the aristocratic academy..."
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao spoke out more than ten royal family rules in one breath, which were very reminiscent of Daxia.
Ariel couldn't believe her ears when she heard Lei Xiao's endless description of her family's secrets.
You know, in order to complete these inexplicable and wise family rules, she went through a lot of troubles, and for the first time, she experienced the hardships of being a member of the royal family...
Since the annoying guy in front of me knows these things, the answer is naturally self-evident.
This guy seems to have really met her ancestors!
At the same time, Bert and Jubai, who were at the bottom, looked at each other again.
It can be clearly seen from the expression of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
What this alien lord said was undoubtedly true.
So, did His Majesty the Great Hero King really choose this young alien lord over his descendants, Princess Ariel? !
Well, it's obvious.
To be favored by the King of Heroes, this alien lord is indeed no ordinary person!
Realizing this, the hearts of the two kingdom generals instantly stirred up huge waves.
"How's it going? Do you have any questions?"
Looking at the dull expression on Ariel's pretty face, Lei Xiao shrugged and drank the fragrant tea in the cup.
"Then what did my ancestors say to you?"
Ariel, who also looked incredulous, quickly asked again.
"I will tell you this when the time is right."
Lei Xiao once again took the tea cup respectfully handed over by A Bing, and said with a faint smile: "However, what I can tell you is that I have reached a certain agreement with the Hero King Xi Sa."
At this stage, it obviously has no meaning to mention matters such as the catastrophe to Ariel and the other three.
And taking this opportunity to leave an unfathomable mystery in the hearts of the three people will undoubtedly be more conducive to their next actions.
After all, after subduing Aoki, who is the deputy captain of the guard, and Ariel's personal maid Sei Hui.
His next target is naturally the two generals of the kingdom who have high status and power in the Cold Flame Kingdom, but are currently in a state of absolute decline.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and his eyes passed over Ariel, Giant Ax General Burt, and Holy Light General Ju Bai.
He added: "Furthermore, I have made an appointment with the King of Heroes for the next time we will meet. By then, if I am willing, it would not be unreasonable to bring my dear Fifth Princess with me next time. Possible things.”
What Lei Xiao said was certainly not a lie.
However, the issue of the Holy Yun Stone was not mentioned.
The moment when the Shengyun Stone is found is undoubtedly the time to meet Wang Xi next time.
Moreover, in his words, Lei Xiao also revealed a key piece of information.
That is, as a descendant of Ariel, the prerequisite for whether she can meet the ancestor hero king depends on Lei Xiao, not anyone else.
This point is very important, and it also shows from the side that Lei Xiao and Hero King Xi Sa are obviously on an equal footing.
As expected, after hearing Lei Xiao's words, Ariel, Bert and Jubai couldn't help but show a look of disbelief on their faces.
Regarding the message conveyed by Lei Xiao, the three of them fully understood its meaning immediately.
Regardless of anything else, the fact that a lord from another world who has just arrived is on the same level as the King of Heroes is enough to prove that he is definitely an extraordinary person!
At this moment, he looked at Lei Xiao who was drinking tea calmly.
The faces of Ariel and the other three people began to look confused and uncertain.
Although this was just a one-sided statement, what Lei Xiao had said before about the secrets of the royal family was true.
Therefore, how much of it is true and how much of it is false has naturally become an unproven question.
Unless he can really see the King of Heroes himself who has fallen for hundreds of years again.
Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the complicated expressions on the faces of Ariel and the three of them and smiled lightly.
At this point, my goal has been achieved.
Next, as long as the two kingdom generals can be conquered respectively.
Then, the final Ariel will naturally be easy to handle.
Even the two legions left in the royal capital under the two kingdom generals will fall under his control at the same time.
Taking a step back, even if it is difficult to control for a while, if these two legions do not become their enemies when the war comes, it will be a victory.
"Okay, my dear Fifth Princess, let's talk about other things."
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Lei Xiao changed the topic and said, "When we were in the underground square just now, you seem to have seen those black-robed people wearing white masks before?"
"Indeed."
Ariel regained her composure, straightened her slightly curly black hair, and responded: "At that time, when we were in the royal capital, there was a group of weirdly dressed guys who appeared in the team of assassins who assassinated this princess. ”
At this point, Ariel shook her head helplessly and added: "It's just that I let them run away that time and didn't know their specific identities."
"Oh?"
Lei Xiao's expression couldn't help but become serious, and he frowned.
Needless to say, the only ones who want to kill Ariel are a few other princes.
Combined with this, it undoubtedly fully demonstrates that one of the several princes vying for power is likely to have joined this mysterious organization.
"No wonder the powerful men of the mysterious organization have become increasingly arrogant and domineering in their recent actions in the Cold Flame Kingdom. It turns out that it is because someone is secretly mediating for them in the capital..."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao suddenly showed a look of enlightenment and continued to think secretly in his heart: "However, this does not affect what I am currently implementing, provoking a dispute between the Leng Yan royal family and the mysterious organization. ”
"After all, as long as one prince joins the mysterious organization, other princes will never be allowed to join. This may not be a bad thing."
Nodding in thought, Lei Xiao's frowned eyebrows unfurled again and asked: "My dear Fifth Princess, do you have any other clues about these mysterious powerful men?"
"That's not the case."
Ariel sighed softly, shook her head helplessly and said: "These people's actions are extremely strict and their strength is not bad. They kill all the guards with one strike without leaving any flaws. Therefore, this is why we It left a deep impression on my heart.”
"I understand, it really fits their usual ruthless style."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, smiled slightly at Ariel and said: "Okay, my dear Fifth Princess, that's it for today. I've had a very pleasant time getting along with you. I hope We can have a chance to cooperate next time.”
After finishing speaking, before Ariel could reply, Lei Xiao led all the main subordinates and strode out of the hall.
Under the watch of Ye Cang and others who stayed behind.
Lei Xiao did not stop at Kongqing Town, and went straight towards the territory in the forest with Huzhang and others.
Next, it’s naturally time to take stock of this harvest! (End of chapter)
