Chapter 425 Before Exploration
"Sister, is that guy you are talking about really that powerful?"
In a much smaller reception room, a pretty female knight wearing silver light armor and carrying a sword at her waist blinked her starry eyes and said with confusion.
Opposite her was Tina, the leader of the Blue Rose Knights who had met Lei Xiao once before at the auction.
I saw that Tina was also dressed in a fully armed silver armor, and her fair and delicate face was full of expectation.
Looking at Tina, who was always known for her cold beauty, with a rare expression of excitement, the pretty female knight frowned and put the knight's helmet in her arms on the table beside her.
While continuing to ask: "How does a little-known remote nobleman really have such great charm? Isn't he just a nouveau riche who accidentally inherited the inheritance of his ancestors, a dandy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun?"
At this point, the pretty female knight seemed to realize something, opened her eyes wide and said: "Maybe that guy just fell in love with my sister's beauty and wants to marry our Blue Rose Knights!"
"Tia, if you keep talking nonsense, I will get really angry."
The leader of the knights, Tina Dai, frowned slightly and said to her sister who was a few years younger than herself: "If Lord Cinsha hadn't given us this opportunity to explore the ruins and promised to distribute one-third of the loot, Give it to us, how long do you think we can last with the current financial situation of the Knights?”
"Sister, the key point is that the exploration hasn't started yet? If it's just an empty ruin, wouldn't we be protecting each other in vain?"
The female knight named Tia couldn't help curling her lips and murmured in a low voice: "Even if you want to thank the other party, you should wait until you get the loot."
"What are you talking about? Without Mr. Chensha, we wouldn't even have a chance to stand up this time."
Tina gently gave the other party a hairy chestnut, frowned and said: "Also, I have said it many times, as long as you are outside, no matter what the occasion, you must call me captain. If you do it again, you will call me when you go back." You will be punished to clean the stables for a month, no matter who pleads for mercy, it will be useless.”
"I understand, sister...leader."
Tia softened immediately, pouted and murmured to herself: "I really don't know what kind of ecstasy soup my sister was fed. I'll take a closer look later. The guy who invited us, the Blue Rose Knights, to serve as a bodyguard, What’s so great about it?”
After hearing the conversation between the two knight sisters, the other three powerful men of the Blue Rose Knights in the room couldn't help but smile.
Tia is a pretty girl, and her behavior in the knights is quite resolute, and she is loved by everyone.
Just mentioning things about the group leader Tina, she becomes like this, she can be regarded as a complete sister control.
Just then, a rhythmic knock on the door sounded.
After one of the strong men from the Blue Rose Knights opened the door, Lei Xiao and Kelly appeared at the door.
Lei Xiao invited these two independent knight captains in the name of serving as guards for this exploration of unknown ruins, so naturally the other main subordinates could not show up.
"Your Excellency Chensha, you are here!"
Seeing that the person coming was Lei Xiao, Tina immediately came up to him, caressed her chest and saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Cinsha, for fulfilling the agreement and really inviting us, the Blue Rose Knights, to participate in this ruins exploration trip!"
< br>
After finishing speaking, she felt the faint aura emanating from Lei Xiao's body, and Tina's waves were flowing, and she couldn't help but marvel in her heart.
Compared with before, the strength of this young aristocratic youth has obviously improved!
However, because Lei Xiao carries a concealment ring, Tina, whose physical energy vortex is almost the same as Lei Xiao's, naturally cannot see the specific depth of Lei Xiao.
"Your Excellency Chensha, these are the escort lineup of our Blue Rose Knights this time."
While marveling, Tina introduced the other strong men around her one by one.
Through Tina's introduction, Lei Xiao learned.
Including Tina, the Blue Rose Knights sent a total of five strongest people this time.
They are the leader of the Knights, Tina, herself a third-level nine-star, the three captains of the Knights, a third-level five-star, and Tina's biological sister, Tia, the logistics minister of the Knights, a third-level three-star.
"Everyone, it's a pleasure to meet you. Please bear with me today."
Lei Xiao nodded one by one, and finally his eyes fell on Tiya.
The other three powerful men of the Blue Rose Knights had all been seen at auctions before. Only Tina's sister, Tia, was a stranger.
Noticing Lei Xiao's gaze, Tina smiled and quickly added: "Your Excellency Chensha, Tia did not participate in the last auction due to a mission. This time, in order to do more, I am going to She brought it along.”
After finishing speaking, Tina took her sister one step forward and said softly: "Tiya, please meet Mr. Cinsha soon."
"I have met Mr. Cinsha."
Tiya muttered reluctantly, and before Lei Xiao could respond, she stepped back and muttered in a low voice: "My own strength is indeed not bad, but there is not even a decent strong man around me. None, that’s all.”
"You girl, how dare you be rude to adults?"
Seeing this, Kelly on the side put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows, "Why don't you quickly apologize to the adults?"
"That's all, children's words are unbridled."
After gently patting Kelly on the shoulder, Lei Xiao smiled at the female knight leader on the side and said: "Captain Tina, I will trouble you to protect you this time. According to the agreement, I will share the spoils afterwards. You, the Knights of the Blue Rose, can get one third.”
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency Chensha! In the name of knights, we will do our best to prevent your Excellency Chensha from being harmed at all!"
Tina's fair face was filled with joy, and she saluted Lei Xiao again.
"Get ready. When Lord Orr comes, we will set off."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, then took steps to leave the reception room.
"Tiya, you girl, you slip up at a critical moment again, let's see how I deal with you when I go back..."
The moment the door closed, Tina's angry, annoyed and helpless voice came out again.
Under Kelly's guidance, Lei Xiao moved forward and came to the room where the Broken Blade Knights were.
"Your Excellency Chensha, thank you for your trust!"
I saw Ryan, the leader of the Broken Blade Knights with long hair and black armor, bowing gracefully and bowing to welcome Lei Xiao into the room.
Although this young male aristocrat, who looked very similar to Ye Cang in the way he raised his hands and feet, seemed calm on the surface, Lei Xiao could still hear a trace of uncontrollable excitement in the other person's tone.
"No need to be polite, just helping each other."
Looking at the other person's grateful look, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and responded.
Next, through Ryan's introduction, Lei Xiao learned.
This time, the Broken Blade Knights also came with five powerful men, most of whom were veteran knights who had experienced hundreds of battles.
Although the strength is comparable to that of the Blue Rose Knights, the overall age is much older than that of the Blue Rose Knights. Especially the black light armor is completely different from the Blue Rose Knights who wear silver armor.
It is not difficult to see from this that if the Knights of the Blue Rose represent youth and vitality, then the Knights of the Broken Blade naturally represent maturity and stability.
"Not bad, not bad, each has its own merits."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, nodded to the male knight leader in front of him and said: "Captain Ryan, I leave it to you for this trip to the unknown ruins."
"In addition, I have also heard that small-scale conflicts often break out between you and the Knights of the Blue Rose because some of the mission areas overlap."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then added seriously: "The future this time is uncertain. I hope you can give in to the Knights of the Blue Rose. They must put aside their past grudges and cooperate sincerely. This can be regarded as a small request from me."
"Your Excellency Chensha is serious."
Ryan bowed gracefully and responded with gratitude: "Since Mr. Cinsha thinks so highly of me, I will tell you the truth."
"At that time, if Lord Chensha hadn't invited our Broken Blade Knights to participate in this tour of the ruins, I'm afraid that starting from my ancestors, this independent knighthood with a history of more than 200 years would have been ruined by my hands. ”
"After all, the funds of the Knights have been broken for a while. Although I have blocked this news from ordinary members, many clues will always be revealed from the arrogant attitude of the high-ranking nobles at the station."
I saw the gratitude on Ryan's face becoming more and more obvious, and continued: "Originally, after the auction, I was ready to consider disbanding the Knights, but it was Lord Chensha's invitation that rekindled my hope. , did not ruin the inheritance of our ancestors in our own hands.”
"Thus, the powerful men of the Broken Blade Knights are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect Lord Cinsha, let alone such a trivial matter as letting go of the past feud with the Blue Rose Knights!"
After finishing speaking, the crisp sound of armor clashing sounded. Ryan and the other four old knights in black armor bowed to Lei Xiao one after another, with expressions of gratitude on their faces.
"You don't have to be polite, then I'm relieved."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "We will see you soon. I look forward to your bravery."
After leaving the reception room of the Broken Blade Knights, Lei Xiao walked back all the way in the long corridor of the Phytolacca Fair and returned to the room from the beginning.
After some consideration, Lei Xiao finally decided that, in addition to the two knights on the surface, and a total of ten third-level powerhouses to protect him, he would only have Huzhang, Hong Ye, and Ye Cang with him.
After all, the strength of Fanyin City Lord Al is the same as that of Kelly's president father Gale, both at the fourth-level and three-star level.
Most of the other subordinates, even if they wear invisibility cloaks and concealment rings, are at risk of being detected by them, causing unnecessary trouble.
Furthermore, after getting eighteen ice knights, he still has nearly fifty third-level high-level golem puppets on his body, which can be mobilized at any time. Even if some subordinates are missing, there will not be a big battle. power gap.
As for the Nanxing and Nanyue sisters who are good at hiding, they first followed the team and then stood by around the ruins they were about to explore.
In this way, you can not only observe the dynamics around the ruins in real time, but also serve as a helping hand in case of emergency.
"Based on the lessons learned last time, this time Fanyin City Lord Orr will definitely deploy heavy defense forces around the ruins that are about to be explored to prevent a sudden attack by the mysterious organization."
"With Nan Xing Nan Yue's top stealth technology, coupled with the invisibility cloak and the higher-level disappearing ring, even if the fifth-level black-robed man No. 7 comes again, he will not be able to easily discover this. I have already Tried it with Japanese knotweed.”
"As for Chao Yan, Bai Wei, A Ling, and A Bing, they should stay at the Phytolacca Trade Fair and assist Kelly in completely wiping out the remaining forces of the former vice president in the city."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao deployed the task.
"Let's act according to the plan in a while."
After completing all this, Lei Xiao, who was sitting in the top position, nodded to the subordinates.
"Yes! Lord!"
All the subordinates standing neatly at the bottom said in unison.
Not long after, Al, the owner of Fanyin City, accompanied by Kelly's father, Gale, arrived at the Phytolacca Trade Fair.
Lei Xiao and his team, who were ready to go, had just assembled and were waiting at the gate.
"Your Excellency the City Lord, Your Excellency the President, we meet again."
Surrounded by ten third-level knights including Tina and Ryan, Lei Xiao nodded to Al and Gale, the lords of Fanyin City who had just arrived.
I saw that Orr was still dressed in a loose blue robe. Compared with not long ago, this middle-aged city lord who was about fifty years old seemed to have a lot more gray hair on his temples and crow's feet at the corners of his eyes. Somewhat haggard.
It seems that, just as Kelly said, the affairs of the mysterious organization are still making him a little worried.
As for Kelly's father, Gale, he is wearing a light gray outfit, with a tall and straight body, and Zhou Zheng's resolute face, which makes him look like a martial arts master, just like a martial artist who is good at close combat. Career fit.
"Haha, Sir Chensha, you are fine."
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, City Lord Al responded with a smile.
After finishing speaking, Al couldn't help but feel a little surprised. The strength of the young man in front of him seemed to have improved to a certain extent.
But because when he met Lei Xiao at that time, Orr's attention was almost entirely focused on the subsequent auction, preparing to deal with the mysterious organization, so he did not remember Lei Xiao's specific strength at that time.
"I will finally be able to see the heroic figure of His Excellency the City Lord soon. I am very much looking forward to it."
After exchanging a few words with Yu Aer, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on Kelly's father Gale again.
The latter immediately smiled brightly at Lei Xiao. After going through a series of events at the previous auction, and the fact that his baby daughter Kelly had been conquered by Lei Xiao, this middle-aged strong man had already interacted with Lei Xiao's other Subordinates, there is no essential difference.
Looking at the group of strong knights behind Lei Xiao, City Lord Orr nodded slightly, smiled again and said: "It seems that Lord Chensha's guards have also arrived. In that case, let's set off immediately. ”
"Just what I wanted."
Lei Xiao nodded, and a look of anticipation appeared on his face: "I can't wait for this trip to the ruins." (End of Chapter)
