Chapter 396 Bert’s Allegiance
Accompanied by a burst of blue light, a curtain of light flashed past.
When Lei Xiao's vision became clear again.
I found that I and the subordinates around me had returned to familiar territory.
At this time, the dark night sky was filled with stars.
Within the territory, illuminated by a large number of light crystals, the lights were brightly lit everywhere, much brighter than before.
Due to the powerful camouflage function of the Tower of Vision, unless a stranger approaches the territory.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to detect traces of territory in the forest.
Therefore, under the moonlight night, even if the territory is filled with light crystals and the light reaches the sky, there is naturally no risk of being discovered by the outside world.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to observe.
Looking around, one can clearly see that the city walls and the area near the large kitchen are full of people.
It seems that the construction of city gates, battlements, and canteens is still in progress in an intense and orderly manner.
On the other side, looking at the three miraculous buildings of the Guardian Defense Agency, the Light Healing Center, and the Tower of Vision, which were shining brightly in the territory, the father and daughter, Burren and Celia, who had just arrived in the territory, had already fallen into Uncontrollably shocked.
Noticing this, Lei Xiao smiled calmly, and then ordered Ye Cang to lead the two of them to visit around the territory, while the other subordinates were temporarily resting in place.
Next, Lei Xiao walked into the lord's mansion and went straight to the lord's office on the third floor.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao did not hesitate, immediately opened the trading channel, and directly traded a third-level recruitment order that had been upgraded not long ago to Shen Banxia.
In a moment, the third-level recruitment order that had been blessed was traded back to Shen Banxia again.
"Is the effect of blessing "having all the functions of the fourth-level recruitment order"? ”
"Not bad, not bad. In this way, the preparations before conquering Bert are completely completed!"
After seeing the detailed description of the blessed recruitment order, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the boss's chair, nodded with satisfaction, and then retrieved the blessed recruitment order from the storage wooden box.
In addition to being excited, Lei Xiao asked Shen Banxia about his request and learned that the other party wanted some strength-enhancing potions to further increase the subordinate's power.
"Near Shen Banxia's territory, there are not only the ruins of the light elves that have not yet been fully explored, but her blessing talent is indeed of great help to me."
"Thus, within a reasonable range, strengthening the opponent's strength will naturally outweigh the disadvantages for me."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then directly traded 20 of the first-level strengthening pills that he had upgraded at the auction in Fanyin City to the other party.
On the other side, after receiving Lei Xiao's magic potion, Shen Banxia's long eyelashes flickered. After being stunned for a moment, she jumped up in surprise.
This kind of magic potion, which can enhance the strength to the peak level, is undoubtedly a huge wealth for her now!
After a while, after closing several private messages of thanks from Shen Banxia, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and walked out of the lord's office.
Next, it is naturally time to go to Kongqing Town and conquer the giant axe general Bert!
After gathering Huzhang and other seven people, as well as Bo Lun and Celia, who still had surprised expressions on their faces, under Lei Xiao's instructions, all the subordinates showed off their talents and galloped towards Kongqing Town under the night. go.
After a fun ride, not long after, a brightly lit city came into view.
At this time, it was the busiest time in Kongqing Town at night, and there was a lot of people everywhere.
The dark blue starry sky and the magical neon lights on the streets at night complement each other, depicting a bustling city night scene.
Stepping into the bustling commercial street, Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates beside him and walked straight towards the city lord's palace.
……
"General Burt, the gentleman has asked you to come over."
On the open-air balcony on the top floor of the Lord's Mansion in Kongqing Town, the white-haired old man, who was looking up at the stars with a melancholy expression on his face, was interrupted from his thoughts by a crisp sound.
After regaining his energy, Bert turned around and asked the maid Xing Hui who was standing at the door of the balcony: "Didn't Her Highness Princess just go for a stroll in the city, accompanied by General Orange and White?"
"That's right, but it's not Her Royal Highness who is looking for you. Come with me and you will know."
Xing Hui, who bowed slightly to Bert and dressed in a black and white maid uniform, walked at the front without any care.
While Bert was puzzled, he also followed him with a look of surprise.
After a while, when Bert entered the elegantly decorated small reception room in the city lord's palace, he found that an old man with white hair and brocade robes who was about the same age as himself appeared in front of him.
For a moment, their eyes met, and a very familiar and nostalgic feeling suddenly surged into Burt's heart, causing his burly body to begin to tremble unconsciously.
The expression on Bert's old face quickly changed from confusion and disbelief at the beginning to surprise and excitement. After a while, he tentatively said: "Are you... Bolen?"
"Brother, long time no see... It's really been a long time."
Directly opposite, Bolen's old face was also too excited to control himself. He kept nodding his head and responded with a trembling voice.
The next second, Bert and Bolen did not hesitate, they both stepped forward quickly and hugged each other's arms tightly.
At this point, thanks to Lei Xiao's hard work, these two brothers from the Moon Wolf Clan, who seemed to be close at hand but separated by thousands of mountains and rivers in their hearts, were reunited after thirty years.
At the same time, the estrangement buried deep in the hearts of the two disappeared in an instant, leaving only the joy of meeting and long-accumulated longing, quietly spreading in the room.
After a while, the two brothers, Bert and Bollen, whose excitement had subsided a little, separated again, and then they both began to laugh boldly.
However, in this heroic laughter, in addition to the uncontrollable excitement, there was also a bit of indescribable tears of joy.
At this moment, there was no general of the kingdom who was commanding the army, nor was there the Grand Duke of Shan Jing who was governing the country. There were only two long-lost brothers from the Moon Wolf Clan, that's all.
Next, it goes without saying how the two talked about their joys, sorrows and joys over the years.
In his excitement, Bert's face was glowing red, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Berlen, by the way, how on earth did you find this place in Kongqing Town?"
"Brother, the thing is like this. It's all because of that adult that I was able to make up my mind and come to see my brother..."
Immediately afterwards, Bo Lun told Lei Xiao and his team how they defeated the conspiracy of the necromancer Baron in the Shanjing Principality and saved the entire country, and how through Ju Bai, they fully understood the ins and outs of what happened back then. Bert described it.
"I see, I didn't expect it to be that adult..."
After listening to what Bolen said, Bert's old cheeks were full of uncontrollable gratitude, and he murmured to himself: "The old man now is just a man who has lost his military power and may be affected by several other princes at any time. Just a down-and-out person who was surrounded and suppressed.”
"And that gentleman still did so many things for you and me that are hard to repay."
After finishing speaking, Bert took a deep breath and asked again: "Berlen, where is that adult now?"
After a while, Lei Xiao, surrounded by his subordinates and with a gentle smile on his face, appeared in front of the two of them.
I saw that Bert did not hesitate and immediately bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "Thank you for everything you have done for our two brothers and the Shanjing Principality!"
"Old General Bert doesn't need to be polite."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao looked stern, and then said: "Old General Bert, do you still remember when I met the Hero King Xi Sa in the place where our ancestors slept in Luolong City?"
"In fact, in the near future, the world is about to face a catastrophe, and that unknown catastrophe is just the prelude to the entire crisis."
After that, Lei Xiao learned what he had learned about the conjectures about the blank era three thousand years ago, the absence of the gods' favor, and the disappearance of the chosen son of God.
He also described in detail what he and his group had seen at several ruins, ancient ships, and other places, as well as the catastrophe that might come at any time.
Moreover, Lei Xiao also successively displayed many mysterious organization masks, Eternal Night Magic Box, Fenglan Wings, petrified Wing Human equipment and other items.
He also briefly told the origin of each item, the story behind it, and his own speculations.
At this time, looking at Bert and Bolan, whose expressions became more solemn and surprised, Lei Xiao looked solemn and said: "Before that day comes, there is only one thing we can do."
"That is to try to find out the truth of all these things while accumulating strength as much as possible, so as to better deal with the coming terrible crisis."
Taking a deep breath, Lei Xiao continued to talk while pacing slowly.
"As I just said, whether it is the blank era in the past, the absence of the gods' favor, the disappearance of the chosen son of God, the sudden arrival of us alien lords, or the catastrophe in the future, there is obviously something. An inseparable potential connection.”
"This is certain."
"And my primary goal is the land under our feet. Only by gathering all the resources can we have greater confidence and lead more people to resist the unknown catastrophe."
< br>
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao described his plan to subdue Ariel first, then support Ariel, and ascend to the throne of Leng Yan in one fell swoop.
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao's face showed a trace of helplessness again, and he continued: "Of course, now, whether I am facing Leng Yan or the unpredictable mysterious organization, my strength is still limited."< br>
"However, I believe that as long as we keep moving forward, there will be no opponents that we cannot defeat, and there will be no unknown catastrophes that we cannot overcome."
Having said this, Lei Xiao walked up to the general of the White-haired Kingdom and said solemnly: "Old General Bert, in order to better achieve all of this, are you willing to help me?"
I saw Bert's burly body trembling slightly, and there was no hesitation on his old face. Then he knelt on one knee and said firmly: "My subordinate, Bert Evening Star, is willing to swear allegiance to the lord! My subordinate." I am willing to contribute my own strength to the Lord’s supreme ideal!”
"Very good, let's start signing the contract."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao's heart moved slightly, and the blessed recruitment order suddenly appeared on his palm.
In just a moment, as the recruitment order in Lei Xiao's hand completed its mission, it turned into tiny particles of light and dissipated in the air.
A familiar prompt soon rang in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, the fourth-level six-star ax Saint Bert Evening Star has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
Hearing this, as usual, while helping the opponent up, Lei Xiao opened Bert's attribute bar.
【Name: Bert】
【Occupation: Ax Saint】
[Level: Level 4, Six Stars]
【Loyalty: 100】
[Skill 1: Bloodthirsty Heavy Slash "Active" (physical single target attack, additional armor-piercing effect)]
[Skill 2: Double Guillotine "Active" (physical single target attack, additional knockback effect)]
[Skill 3: Tomahawk Mastery "Passive" (moderately increases damage when using a tomahawk)]
[Skill 4: Mountain Crystal Bloodline "Passive" (completely resistant to the passive transformation of the Moon Wolf Clan)]
After closing the opponent's attribute bar, a look of joy suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
So far, after Ye Cang, Orange White, Chao Yan, Nan Xing, and Nan Yue.
The number of fourth-level experts under his command has reached six!
"According to my plan, after successively conquering Ariel's deputy captain Qingshu, personal maid Xinghui, and the two kingdom generals Ju Bai and Bert, my next goal is naturally to become a The fifth princess of Leng Yan, Ariel herself.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then asked the burly old man in front of him: "Old General Bert, based on your understanding of this Princess Leng Yan, what should we do if we want to conquer Ariel? ”
"Back to the lord, your Highness the Princess can be said to have been watched by my subordinates since she was a child."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Bert immediately responded: "Therefore, I clearly understand that as the old king's most beloved daughter, coupled with the unique elite education of the Leng Yan royal family, Her Royal Highness the Princess has been He developed an extremely arrogant and willful personality.”
"However, with the growth of age and the cruel battle for the throne in the royal capital, under the influence of many events, now, although Her Royal Highness the Princess is unruly and willful, she has restrained a lot."
"But my subordinates can still feel that Her Royal Highness the Princess' pride still exists."
Having said this, Bert bowed and continued: "Therefore, I believe that there is still an important opportunity missing for the lord to successfully take the princess under his command."
"Pretty much what I thought."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao said thoughtfully: "But I believe that this so-called opportunity should come soon." (End of Chapter)
