Chapter 424 Before Exploration(1/2)
"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 a puzzled look on her face.
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.
On the other side, looking at Tina, who was always known for her cold beauty, with a rare expression of excitement, the female knight frowned and put the knight's helmet in her arms on the table beside her.
While continuing to ask: "Can a little-known remote nobleman really have such great charm?
I'm afraid he's not just a nouveau riche who accidentally inherited his ancestor's inheritance, but a playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun, right?
Maybe I just fell in love with my sister’s beauty and want to marry into our Knights of the Blue Rose!”
"Tiya, if you keep talking nonsense, I will get angry.
If it weren't for Mr. Chensha, who gave us this opportunity to explore the ruins and promised to allocate one-third of the loot to us.
How long do you think we can continue with the current financial situation of the Knights?"
Hearing this, the leader of the knights, Tina Dai, frowned slightly and spoke to his sister who was a few years younger than him in front of him.
"Sister, the point is, haven't we started exploring yet?
If it’s just an empty relic, then wouldn’t we be protecting each other in vain?”
On the other side, the female knight named Tiya could not help but curl her lips slightly and whispered: "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 turn around."
Gently giving the other party a chestnut, Tina continued to frown and said: "Also, I have said it many times.
As long as you are outside, no matter what the occasion, you must call me leader.
If you do it again, you will be punished by cleaning the stables for a month when you go back. No matter who pleads for mercy, it will be of no use."
"I understand, sister...leader."
On the other side, the female knight named Tia softened immediately, pouting and muttering to herself: "I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup my sister was poured into.
I want to take a closer look soon to see what is so great about the guy who invited us, the Knights of the Blue Rose, to serve as a bodyguard."
Hearing this, the other three powerful men of the Blue Rose Knights in the room couldn't help but smile.
Tia is a girl with good talents, and her behavior in the knights is quite vigorous and resolute, and she is loved by everyone.
Just mentioning things about the group leader Tina, she becomes like this, she can be considered 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, the figures of Lei Xiao and Kelly appeared at the door.
At that time, Lei Xiao invited these two independent knight captains in the name of serving as escorts for this exploration of unknown ruins.
Therefore, on the surface, other main subordinates of our own side can naturally not show up.
"Your Excellency Chensha, you are here!"
Seeing that the person coming was Lei Xiao, the group leader Tina immediately came to greet him, politely clasped his fists and said: "Thank you, Mr. Chensha, for fulfilling the agreement.
We are really invited by the Blue Rose Knights to participate in this ruins exploration trip!"
After finishing her words, Tina couldn't help but secretly marveled when she felt the faint aura of Lei Xiao's body.
Compared with before, the strength of this young aristocratic youth has obviously improved!
However, because Lei Xiao carries a concealment ring.
Therefore, Tina, whose body's physical energy vortex is almost the same as Lei Xiao's, naturally cannot see the specific depth of Lei Xiao's.
Immediately afterwards, while being amazed, Tina introduced the other powerful people around her one by one.
Lei Xiao learned about it through the other party's introduction.
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.
"That's it." Nodding to everyone, Lei Xiao's eyes finally fell on Tiya in the last row.
The previous powerful members of the Blue Rose Knights had all been seen at the last auction, but Tina's sister, Tia, was a new face.
Noticing Lei Xiao's gaze, Tina smiled and quickly added: "Your Excellency Chensha, Tiya did not attend the last auction because she was on a mission.
This time, in order to do my best, I will bring him here with me."
After finishing speaking, Tina took her sister one step forward and said softly: "Tiya, please meet Mr. Chensha soon."
"I've met Mr. Chensha." On the other side, Tiya muttered reluctantly, and before Lei Xiao could respond, she retreated on her own.
Then he whispered in a low voice: "My own strength is indeed not bad, but there is not even a decent strong person around me. In the final analysis, it is nothing more than that."
"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 adults?"
"That's all, Tongyanwuji."
After lightly 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 me this time.
According to the agreement, you, the Knights of the Blue Rose, can get one-third of the spoils I will share afterwards."
"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."
Hearing this, Tina's fair face was filled with joy, and then she saluted Lei Xiao again.
"Get ready, we'll set off when City Lord Orr arrives." With a slight nod, Lei Xiao took steps and left the reception room.
"Tiya, you girl, you slipped 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 rang again.
Then, under Kelly's guidance, Lei Xiao moved forward and came to the room of the Broken Blade Knights.
"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 then welcoming Lei Xiao into the house.
At this time, this young male aristocrat, who looked very similar to Ye Cang with his hands and feet raised, seemed calm on the surface.
But Lei Xiao could still hear a trace of uncontrollable excitement from the other party's tone.
Next, through Ryan's introduction, Lei Xiao learned.
This time the Knights of the Broken Blade arrived, and there were also five strong men. Most of them were old knights who had experienced hundreds of battles. Their overall age was much older than the Knights of the Blue Rose just now.
As for strength, it is on par with the Knights of the Blue Rose.
Especially the black light armor, which is completely different from the Blue Rose Knights who all wear silver armor.
At this point, it can be clearly seen.
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 couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and said to the male knight leader in front of him: "Captain Ryan, I leave it to you for this trip to the unknown ruins."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then said again: "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.
However, the future is uncertain this time. I hope you can give way to the Knights of the Blue Rose. They must put aside their past grudges and cooperate sincerely.
This is my special little request."
"Your Excellency Chensha is serious."
On the other side, Ryan bowed gracefully and responded with gratitude: "Since Mr. Cinsha thinks so highly of me, I should tell the truth.
At that time, if Lord Chensha hadn't invited us, the Broken Blade Knights, to participate in this trip to the ruins.
I am afraid that starting from my ancestors, this independent knighthood with a history of more than 200 years will be ruined in my hands.
After all, the funds of the Knights have been cut off for some time, even though I have kept this news secret from ordinary members.
But there are always many clues revealed in the arrogant attitude of the high-ranking aristocrats at the residence."
At this point, the gratitude on Ryan's face became more and more obvious, and he continued: "Originally, after the auction, I was planning to consider disbanding the Knights.
And it was His Excellency Chensha's invitation that rekindled my hope and did not bury the inheritance of my ancestors in my own hands.
Therefore, the powerful men of the Broken Blade Knights are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect Lord Chensha.
Not to mention such a trivial matter as letting go of the past feud with the Knights of the Blue Rose."
After he finished speaking, the crisp sound of armor clashing sounded.
Including Ryan, the other four old knights in black armor bowed to Lei Xiao one after another, with expressions of gratitude on their faces.
"You're welcome." Lei Xiao smiled lightly, nodded slightly and said, "I'll see you later."
Just like that, after leaving the reception room of the Broken Blade Knights, Lei Xiao walked back through the long corridor of the Phytolacca Fair and returned to his room again.
Next, after some consideration, Lei Xiao finally decided.
To be continued...
