Chapter 400 The Far Side
At the other end of the distance, somewhere in the majestic capital of Lengyan King.
This is a spacious hall with extremely luxurious decoration, filled with noble golden tones and elegant white tones.
Under the dazzling crystal tassel chandelier.
Almost every white wall is inlaid with a large number of gorgeous textures such as golden hollow scroll patterns, hyacinth leaf decorations, and scallop decorations.
On the left and right sides of the hall, there are two rows of towering giant stone pillars.
The surfaces of these stone pillars are engraved with exquisite stone carvings, including bloody killing battlefields, steep mountain castles, and many luxurious scenes of wine ponds and meat forests, etc.
If you observe carefully, both the characters and the scenery on the stone pillars give people a real feeling, as if they will jump out of the picture in the next second.
There is no doubt that only the best sculptors can depict such a lifelike scene.
In the middle part of the hall, a luxurious red carpet exuding light fluorescence runs through it, extending from the door to the golden throne on the high platform at the other end.
On both sides of the golden throne, two metal lions representing the majesty of the Leng Yan royal family stood, looking down at everything in the hall motionlessly.
On top of the throne, a long-haired man dressed in red aristocratic clothing was seen lazily leaning on the armrest on one side, playing with an exquisite gem dagger.
Because he kept his head lowered, his specific face could not be clearly seen for the time being.
At the bottom, there are two rows of middle-aged and elderly figures also wearing aristocratic costumes standing respectfully.
Each of these people exudes a faint aura of strength, and almost all of them have reached the fourth level that is difficult for most strong people to reach.
At the front of the two rows stood a knight in pure white armor and a closed white helmet, and a mysterious man whose entire body was covered in black robes, whose face could not be seen clearly either.
Although there was no trace of energy fluctuations on these two people, they gave people a vague feeling of extreme danger.
"His Royal Highness, through the secret magic stations we have set up in various places, the latest news has just been received. The lord of Songluo City, Marquis Luoji, and his two men have been missing since noon yesterday."
A respectful voice sounded, and a bloated middle-aged noble took a step forward, bowed to the man on the throne and said, "Through the inspection of the scroll, very fine traces of burns were found on the carpet in his room. It’s very much like what fire magic left behind.”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, the eldest prince on the throne stopped holding the dagger for a moment, and then continued to play with it.
Then he said calmly: "I just instructed Luo Ji to secretly investigate the situation of the new city lord of Kongqing Town and my damn lovely sister. This guy disappeared. Could it be that the matter was exposed and the other party silenced him?"< br>
After finishing speaking, a violent energy suddenly spurted out from the eldest prince's body, rippling back and forth in the luxurious hall.
"Your Highness, please be calm. I have also received news that Red Arrow Town, within the influence of Marquis Luoji, was attacked by unknown strong men yesterday morning, resulting in the complete destruction of the garrison."
The middle-aged bloated nobleman in the lower position still maintained his bowing posture and continued to report: "According to the businessmen and mercenaries who were coming and going, the strength of the unknown group of strong men was amazing. They seemed to be the second prince or the fourth prince." Prince's man."
"Are they from those two damn guys?"
Hearing this, the eldest prince held the dagger in his hand, paused for a moment again, and murmured to himself: "Red Arrow Town was attacked just in the morning, and Loki disappeared at noon. These two things cannot be just coincidences. Who is the mastermind behind the scenes? ”
Realizing this, the eldest prince still kept his head lowered while caressing the gem dagger in his hand.
While pondering: "First of all, my cowardly sister naturally does not have the courage, but if it is the new Lord of Kongqing City, why would the other party attack the irrelevant Red Arrow Town first?"
After finishing speaking, the eldest prince slightly unsheathed the gem dagger in his hand, and at the same time a cold light suddenly appeared.
He mused again: "Or maybe one of the two damn guys in the royal capital noticed that I was secretly investigating Kongqing Town, and then took the opportunity to take action, intending to divert my prince's attention from the royal capital. Go to Kong Qingzhen and get a chance to breathe?”
"Your Highness's analysis makes sense."
A hoarse neutral voice sounded, and the man in black robe at the bottom bowed slightly and said: "Marquis Luoji is, after all, a fourth-level senior expert with considerable strength. To successfully subdue him, it is not a simple matter. It’s an easy thing, so the second and fourth princes are naturally more likely to have this strength.”
After a pause, the man in black robe added: "However, although the reliability is doubtful, there are rumors that there is a fifth-level powerhouse in Kongqing Town, so theoretically he has this strength, and we have to guard against this. .”
"Hey, Kongqing Town? A fifth-level powerhouse?"
With a cold snort, the eldest prince focused his attention on the gem dagger in his hand, and said calmly: "Sir, you must have not forgotten it, right? This piece of information is also accompanied by another piece of information, that is, the new Lord of Kong Qing City is... A despicable alien lord.”
"In recent times, I have casually killed not only a thousand but also eight hundred of the alien lords who have descended on the royal capital."
Sheathing the dagger again, the eldest prince said disdainfully: "These humble outsiders, whose strength is not even considered as a militia, will be loyal to a fifth-level strongman at the level of a country? This makes me laugh out loud!"
"What His Highness said is absolutely true!"
Several bloated nobles at the bottom quickly echoed: "But having said that, there are some female alien lords, tsk tsk, they are quite good."
Hearing this, the eldest prince, who was playing with a dagger on the throne, paused involuntarily, as if he recalled something wonderful.
"Your Highness, please listen to me again."
The man in black robe, whose face was hidden under the hood, bowed slightly and said: "As far as I know, many of these lords from other worlds who suddenly came have awakened magical abilities one after another, although most of them are not enough. Fear, but it still cannot be ruled out. There are people with outstanding talents who have awakened some powerful abilities."
The man in black robe pondered for a moment, then said again: "After all, we still know very little about these visitors from other worlds, so it is always right to take some precautions in advance."
"Sir, you are worrying too much."
Waving his hand gently, the eldest prince, who had always lowered his head, put down the dagger in his hand, and finally raised his head with a look of disdain on his face.
I saw that he was about forty years old, with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a beard on his face that was almost connected to the thick curly hair that was the trademark of a member of the Lengyan royal family. He looked quite handsome.
However, his sharp eyes revealed condescension and irrepressible arrogance, and his whole body exuded a noble aura of contempt for everything.
At this time, the eldest prince held up the golden crown on his head and said calmly: "If I hadn't been busy dealing with the second and fourth children now, these two damn guys would be like ants in my Lengyan territory. The crawling aliens have been killed long ago.”
"Not to mention the new Lord of Kongqing City who dares to get involved in the city under the protection of my Lengyan royal family."
Having said this, a strong murderous aura suddenly emerged from the face of the eldest prince.
Then he added: "Those who bring shame to our Lengyan royal family will only die. When I am completely free, I will personally lead the army and completely wipe out the entire Kongqing Town from Lengyan's territory. , and even more so, cut off the head of the new Lord of Kongqing City with his own hands.”
"Of course, it also includes those Lengyan untouchables who surrendered to others. I will use the blood of these rebels to dye the red carpet I walk on when I am crowned king."
After finishing speaking, the eldest prince suddenly pulled out the gemstone dagger. The sharp blade exuded a special color. Under the reflection of the crystal tassel chandelier, it emitted a chilling silver light.
While gently shaking the short blade in his hand, the eldest prince continued: "In short, no matter whether the opponent is a lord from another world or someone with ulterior motives, the only end is death."
After the eldest prince finished speaking, the faces of the nobles below also revealed a look of murderous intent and disdain.
"Your Highness, the Great Prince, calm down."
The hoarse neutral voice sounded again, and the man in black bowed and said: "Even so, Kongqing Town cannot be ignored. After all, the fifth princess and the two kingdom generals are still located in Kongqing Town. There is no doubt about this.”
"It makes sense. My sister, who is lucky and lucky, really has to be on guard. Originally, this prince only agreed to the other party's mission to Kongqing Town because he was prepared to let the two tigers fight. Now it seems that there is no way to let the tiger return to the mountain. signs.”
Holding the short blade tightly in his hand, the eldest prince pondered for a moment, and then asked the man in black robe: "Sir, how should we respond next?"
"Back to His Highness the Great Prince, first of all, we must immediately dispatch a team of capable personnel to secretly go to Kongqing Town to conduct further investigations. We must find out the opponent's true strength and the current situation of the fifth princess as soon as possible. If necessary, we can make trouble Make some noise to induce the snake to move out.”
"Secondly, currently in the royal capital, due to our continuous attacks, the two camps of the second prince and the fourth prince have been defeated one after another and suffered heavy losses, so that there is a vague preparation to hold together for warmth and cooperate with each other."
"Therefore, we must intensify efforts to drive a wedge between the two. At the same time, we must also arrest the efforts to infiltrate the two forces and the neutral old king's faction."
The man in black robe was calm and responded: "Finally, while these two things are going on at the same time, we can investigate the mastermind behind the incidents in Red Arrow Town and Songluo City."
"Just what I wanted."
Nodding slightly, the eldest prince smiled coldly and said: "Then let's do it. The work in the royal capital will be fully responsible for the work of the king."
"Especially those stubborn guys who are still loyal to the old king. Whether it is wealth or women, as long as I can capture their hearts and use them no matter what the cost, they are a powerful force that cannot be ignored. ”
After speaking, the eldest prince licked his lips, his sly eyes moved, and fell on the silent knight beside him, and continued: "White Knight, as for the task of investigating the Kongqing Town, I will leave it to your subordinates. People went to do it.”
"Yes! Your Highness, the Great Prince."
Hearing this, the man in black robe and the white knight took a step forward at the same time, caressing their chests and responded.
"By the way, Your Highness, there is one more thing."
I saw the bloated nobleman just now, bowing again and saying: "As far as I know, the three divination institutions under the royal family, the Astrology Hall, the Tarot Hall, and the Prophet Hall, have recently reported that an event may happen in the future. How should Your Highness deal with the information about the catastrophe?”
"I have heard about this too."
Nodding slightly, the eldest prince said impatiently: "However, compared to these vague information, I still care more about the ownership of the throne. Even if a disaster occurs, what does it matter if some insignificant untouchables die."
Smiling contemptuously, the eldest prince added: "Remember this, I know that Leng Yan is now in a state of internal and external troubles. The other two forces entrenched in the royal capital must be resolved quickly. As long as I am crowned king, all of you will He will be Leng Yan’s biggest contributor, not to mention sealing the territory and splitting the land.”
"Yes! Your Highness, the Great Prince!"
The nobles at the bottom had a look of surprise on their faces, and they knelt down and worshiped.
……
The other side of the distance, after leaving Kongqing Town.
Having already said hello to Su Ru and Su Mo, Lei Xiao and his group of seven people, wearing invisibility cloaks, rushed towards Ge Lincheng.
Since all members of the current team are strong men above the third level, they are no longer what they used to be.
In addition, Bai Wei, A Ling and A Bing, who are at the peak of the third level, are all agile experts, and their own movement speed is much better than other experts of the same level.
Therefore, it didn't take long for a medium-to-large city built on the mountain to come into Lei Xiao's sight.
While chasing the wind and lightning, Lei Xiao, who was riding on the giant white wolf, could not help but sigh in his heart while feeling the biting wind that was constantly howling.
At the beginning, I remember that when I first saw Ge Lincheng, his strength was only at the second-order five-star level.
But now, his physical strength has reached the third level of peak level that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
The group of people could already clearly see the flags fluttering in the wind on Gelin City.
"When you enter the city, you don't need to stay too long. Go directly to the deep mountains behind Gelin City, where the old mining area is located."
Noticing this, Lei Xiao opened his mouth and spoke to the other subordinates who were following him closely.
"Yes! Lord!"
The neat voices of Huzhang and others immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears.
It didn't take long, and after walking straight through the lively neighborhoods, Lei Xiao and his group arrived at the checkpoint area at the back of the city.
This location is very close to the old mining area.
However, at this moment, the expression on the side of the knotweed suddenly became serious. (End of chapter)
