The next morning, when Lei Xiao opened his eyes, Ariel, who had already finished dressing up, was handed a cup of hot black tea.
Smelling the aroma of tea coming towards him, Lei Xiao took the teacup and took a sip.
The temperature of the tea is right, with a little bit of honey added, which is my favorite taste.
"I'm afraid not many people can enjoy such treatment if the queen who is about to be crowned is waiting for her to wake up, right?"
The warm tea fell into his throat, and Lei Xiao, who suddenly felt the warmth in his stomach, put down the teacup and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Ariel smiled and gently opened the luxurious curtains in the bedroom.
As the curtains were slowly opened, the early morning sunlight fell on the ground, making her delicate cheeks even whiter and more divine.
"It seems that this girl is still in the excitement of being crowned. No wonder she was so proactive last night."
Looking at this scene that looked like an oil painting, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and began to close his eyes and concentrate on his daily routine of simple exercises.
Regarding the human-creation plan mentioned by Ariel, Lei Xiao maintained a natural attitude.
Although the kingdom was initially decided, the three wealthy family heads who dominated half of Leng Yan's kingdom were all direct subordinates of Lei Xiao, so they naturally followed his lead.
As for the other half of the nobles, Lei Xiao's direct subordinates include Wu Burt, Ju Bai, Benson, Hod and others, and Wen including Orr, Rose Marquis, Ed, Tran, Xuan Yue and others.
Coupled with the leaderless nobles who are loyal to the royal family, as well as the assistance of the White Knight, Caroline, Hilda, and Bai Lao, it is enough to stabilize the entire kingdom in a very short time and solve the problems for Ariel, who is about to be crowned.
Therefore, even if Ariel is really pregnant, Lei Xiao will be able to handle it with ease.
Because Ariel's coronation ceremony was scheduled to be held near noon.
Therefore, after Lei Xiao completed his training, he returned to the territory and simply handled daily matters.
As for the coronation ceremony, Ariel can personally handle it with other main subordinates. After all, Wu is almost ready.
It didn't take long for Lei Xiao to return to the palace.
Although the Lengyan Palace and the territory where the royal capital is located are surrounded by absolute defensive barriers, teleportation is theoretically impossible.
But Jiang Li was able to ignore this with the help of the space beacon deployed by the return crystal, making Lei Xiao's return to the territory as easy as taking a walk in the back garden.
When he came back, Lei Xiao also picked up the main commanders and subordinates of the territory, as well as several representatives of the lords such as Qin Qian, Jiang Hao, Feng Ling, etc., to participate in this hard-won coronation after a series of bloody battles.
ceremony.
Arriving at the majestic interior of the palace, which was as gorgeous and simple as a temple of art everywhere, whether it was the commanders and subordinates or Qin Qian and others, they could not help but express wonder on their faces and opened their eyes wide.
You know, this is the center of power of a huge human nation, and it is also the most heavily guarded place in the entire kingdom. Even ordinary nobles cannot step in casually.
What's more, ordinary people like them?
In addition to being amazed, everyone looked at Lei Xiao with admiration.
It was precisely because of Lei Xiao's appearance that they were lucky enough to participate in such a grand royal ceremony!
Among them, especially the lords such as Qin Qian, Jiang Hao, Feng Ling, etc., their faces were full of uncontrollable excitement and excitement, and they almost worshiped at Lei Xiao's feet.
After going through the Battle of Lookout Star City, they naturally understood clearly.
It is clear how cruel and bloody the real war is, and it is also clear how powerful and terrifying those noble enemies are.
But even so, the Xiaoshen boss remained unstoppable until he entered the royal capital and became the true master of this country!
With the protection of Xiaoshen, all the alien lords in this land no longer have to fear attacks from the indigenous forces, and can sleep peacefully every day.
What a gift and honor this is?
Thinking of this in their hearts, Qin Qian and others were so excited that they cried with joy.
"Okay, let's go change clothes first. You can't wear these for the ceremony."
Noticing the excitement of Qin Qian and others, Lei Xiao smiled slightly, then nodded to the two maid guards on standby, and took Qin Qian and others to the cloakroom that had been prepared.
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, the two maids and guards who were loyal to the royal family immediately knelt down respectfully and saluted with fear and fear, and faithfully carried out the order.
Now in the entire Leng Yan Palace, and even in the entire Leng Yan Kingdom, is there anyone who doesn’t know the greatness of the guest from another world in front of him?
With such a shocking achievement, it is not an exaggeration to call him the patron saint of the Cold Flame Kingdom!
By the time Qin Qian and others who were about to attend the meeting had made arrangements with their subordinates, it was almost time.
Under the guidance of Erza, Bert, Ju Bai and other familiar palace servants, Lei Xiao moved to the Lion's Castle where the coronation ceremony was about to be held.
While walking, Lei Xiao noticed.
The entire Lengyan Palace was decorated with lights and colorful lights everywhere as if celebrating a grand festival, with the bright lights of various magic light balls flashing.
Groups of guardsmen standing guard and patrolling also wore red cloaks, looking more powerful.
At a glance, before reaching the gate of Lion Castle, the fiery atmosphere of a grand ceremony has already rushed towards us.
"Lord, without you, I am afraid that my subordinates would never be able to step into this palace again."
I saw Bert's wrinkled old face, full of sighs and reverence, sincerely.
Bert still clearly remembered how embarrassed and unbearable he was when he and Ariel fled the royal capital. Even his life was in danger, let alone returning to his hometown, Shanjing Principality.
And now, with the help of the Lord, not only has he improved his relationship with Bolun and resolved decades of conflicts, but he has also greatly improved his strength and reached the peak level of the fourth level. What kind of gift is this?
After Bert finished speaking, Orange Bai also nodded quickly, with uncontrollable awe and gratitude also appearing on his fair face.
With the help of the lord, not only did she kill her enemy, but the shackles of her hometown were also completely lifted.
The most important thing is, as a member of the territory, what an honor and honor it is to be able to personally participate in such a great cause and contribute a small force?
While the hearts of the two kingdom generals were agitated, Erza, who had transformed into Jinwen again, was also thinking a lot.
With the help of the lord, not only did her sisterly relationship with Teresa, which had dropped to the freezing point, be eased.
Moreover, a few days ago, with the permission of the lord, she went to Shuiyue City to explore the winged human clan barrier area that she dreamed of. She was able to see such a shocking sight with her own eyes. As a ruin fan, she
Said, it is tantamount to a supreme grace!
Just when the three of them were excited, Lei Xiao's steps were light and he had already arrived in front of the courtyard where the Lion's Castle was located.
I saw flags fluttering everywhere in this ancient and huge castle, dancing in the wind.
In addition to the royal family's lion flag, there is also Ariel's princess flag, and Lei Xiao's own Shadow Lord flag.
Especially the number of Lei Xiao's own Shadow Lord flags exceeds the sum of the previous two.
Among the guards guarding the Lion's Castle, Lei Xiao also saw his own squadron of half-elves and squadrons of werewolf warriors, both of which were deployed in the most conspicuous positions.
"The momentum seems to be a bit overwhelming."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows. Although he said so, he was quite satisfied in his heart.
Naturally, he is the only one in the world who is qualified to enjoy such treatment.
"It seems that guy is quite good at getting things done."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly and continued walking towards the main entrance of Lion Castle.
At this time, the scene inside and outside the Lion's Castle was extremely lively and busy with traffic.
A large number of nobles who were invited to participate in the coronation ceremony, the chief representatives of the three major neutral organizations, other smaller neutral organizations, as well as diplomats and military attaches from various countries, came one after another in carriages. Under the guidance of the royal attendants, or
Talking to each other, or waiting in the venue, everything is extremely orderly.
Arriving at the bustling main entrance of the castle, Lei Xiao was immediately surrounded by a group of nobles and noble ladies, becoming the center of attention.
"Your Excellency, Beatrice, the eldest daughter of the Morris family, would like to extend my highest respect to you! Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the kingdom!"
"Your Excellency, the Gobert family is willing to follow you closely and fight for you and the kingdom through fire and water!"
"My great guest, the Williams family will always be your most reliable partners and servants!"
"Your distinguished guest, your family has served the royal family for generations, and I am willing to use my little power to help your guest share your worries!"
For a time, there was an endless stream of compliments, self-introductions, and adoring voices, and Lei Xiao smiled and nodded frequently, trying his best to respond to everyone present.
Some of these loyal nobles who are loyal to the royal family are in charge of cities directly under the royal family, and some hold important positions in the palace. They are all indispensable for the stability of the Cold Flame Kingdom.
Since everyone came to flatter them, Lei Xiao naturally accepted them all and was able to take advantage of the opportunity to understand the situation of each family head and even each noble.
In addition, representatives of various neutral organizations and diplomats from various countries also squeezed into the crowd and greeted Lei Xiao politely or respectfully.
Everyone present clearly understood that what they were facing was not only the legendary hero who saved the Lengyan Kingdom, but also the most powerful person in the Lengyan Kingdom!
If you don't take the opportunity to curry favor and become familiar with each other now, when will you wait?
After about half an hour, Lei Xiao, surrounded by his main subordinates, finally broke away from the still hot crowd.
You know, everyone here is a big shot who controls power and wealth.
But in front of Lei Xiao, he was like a little person who was groveling, racking his brains, not sparing any words of praise and respect, trying to attract Lei Xiao's attention.
"Twelve aristocratic families, including the Morris family, the Gobert family, and the Williams family, as well as the three major neutral organizations, such as the Adventurers Association, the Witches Association, the Magical Beast Protection Association, the Knights of the Rose Hand, and other small and medium-sized neutral organizations
I almost remember the organization, all the main characters and chief representatives.”
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully while heading towards the Great Hall of the Lion's Castle under the guidance of the two kingdom generals.
If we want to completely stabilize the entire Cold Flame Kingdom, these characters are obviously indispensable.
In addition, Lei Xiao clearly understands.
Except for the sixteen loyal noble families and the three major neutral organizations that are loyal to the royal family, the remaining small and medium-sized neutral organizations must not be underestimated.
Most of these organizations have a long history, and there are also fifth-level powerhouses in charge, and there are also many elite powerhouses.
Even though its strength is far inferior to the unfathomable Alchemy Guild, Mercenary Guild and Light Temple, it may still be able to become a force that cannot be ignored.
"Although with my current strength and size, it is still difficult for me to have direct contact with the heads of the three neutral organizations, I can face these small and medium-sized organizations with ease. I may have time to contact the senior leaders of these organizations."
"Although they believe in neutrality and have activities in all human countries, their strength, size and influence are extremely limited after all, and they cannot be compared to the three major neutral organizations."
"If we can win over it with high benefits and become the exclusive organization of the Cold Flame Kingdom, or even a subordinate organization, this will definitely further enhance the overall strength of the Cold Flame Kingdom."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao slowly took a deep breath.
Just like what I had thought before, my most urgent thing at the moment is to increase my strength at all costs to prevent other countries from suddenly launching a war of annihilation.
After all, the geographical location of the Cold Flame Kingdom is too special. It is surrounded by powerful enemies in the four directions, southeast, northwest, and there is no room for maneuver.
"By the way, regarding the contact with the half-elves Zhuyue Clan, we must put it on the agenda as soon as possible and strive for their early comeback. I will give them more generous rewards and honors than before, but the prerequisite is to find a way to regain them.
A key figure in the clan."
"And Mia is the only breakthrough right now. I wonder what her status is in the clan?"
"In addition to the above two points, recruitment work in various places in Lengyan is also in progress."
"Although the new recruits have limited strength and insufficient training, with my current level of upgraded potions, it is not a big problem for several new recruit legions to reach the strength of the veteran legion in a short period of time, as long as the training can keep up."
Just when Lei Xiao frowned and thought about this, he had already arrived in front of the magnificent auditorium of Lion Castle.
The auditorium is extremely spacious. Lei Xiao visited it once yesterday. It can easily accommodate thousands of people.
At this moment, decorated with a large number of dark magic light balls and rows of royal flags, it looked even more solemn and solemn.
Looking at the decent layout around him, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, his brows immediately relaxed, and his calm expression returned.
As a qualified leader, expression management is still very important.
"See you, your lord!"
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, the hundreds of royal guards guarding the entrance to the auditorium immediately knelt down on one knee and lowered their heads respectfully. This was already the highest courtesy equivalent to the king's level.
"No need to be too polite, just do your duty."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and immediately stepped into the magnificent auditorium.
