"The thing is actually very simple, because I have a special way of identification."
Looking into Diana's doubtful starry eyes, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "It is precisely because of this identification method that I can detect the clues at the first time."
"His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, are you saying that you noticed His Excellency the Vice-President's cross-dressing skills from the moment you walked in?"
Durant's face was filled with disbelief, and he frowned and said: "Your Highness, are you exaggerating a bit? You know, His Excellency the vice president's cross-dressing skills are comparable to the most exquisite illusion cross-dressing, how could he be
Can you tell at a glance?"
"I never said I could see through it with my eyes."
Lei Xiao slowly picked up the tea cup, smiled faintly at Durant and said: "Your Excellency, branch president, is like a hunter stalking his prey. There are many other ways to hunt, right?"
Hearing what Lei Xiao said, Durant was speechless for a moment and didn't react yet, but Diana's eyes lit up, obviously she already had a clue in her mind.
"It seems that His Excellency the Vice President has guessed some clues. I didn't go by the appearance, but by the taste."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, then clapped his hands easily.
As Lei Xiao's applause fell, another slender figure appeared beside Hongye and Huzhang.
I saw furry snow-white ears standing on top of its head, and a pair of shining blue star eyes. It was Bai Wei who was once Lei Xiao's mount.
As for how Bai Wei, who was only on the fourth level, hid her figure from Diana's eyes, it was because she was wearing the blessed invisibility cloak given by Lei Xiao.
"Is it the Snow Wolf Clan with a superior sense of smell?"
Diana looked at Bai Wei's furry ears, nodded suddenly and said: "The slave family should have thought of this earlier. After all, according to intelligence, His Royal Highness has an elite half-elf wolf cavalry team under his command."
"Your Highness, did you send this woman from the Snow Wolf Tribe to memorize the scent of Rupert from the first time you met him?"
After Durant suddenly realized this, he still looked in disbelief.
"Not just Vice President Rupert, but every guest who has come into contact with me."
Lei Xiao calmly nodded and said with a smile: "President Durant Branch, don't be surprised, it's just a small precautionary measure."
Just like what Lei Xiao said, from the beginning, after learning that Bai Wei had an extraordinary sense of smell, Lei Xiao arranged a new task for Bai Wei, which was to remember the smell of everyone, in turn.
To be prepared.
Originally, what Lei Xiao was initially wary of was illusions and disguises. After all, no matter how powerful the human race was, it was difficult to detect clues from the scent. Unexpectedly, this time he encountered a real disguise technique.
"His Royal Highness is indeed extremely thoughtful, which really makes the slave family more and more impressed. The slave family likes smart men."
After figuring out the truth of the matter, Diana's starry eyes showed a hint of appreciation, and said meaningfully: "Moreover, the existence of this fourth-level wolf wolf was not even discovered by the slave family. His Highness the Prince's methods are really
It’s bottomless.”
"It's just a small daily measure, nothing important."
Lei Xiao still had that calm expression, smiling and nodding.
That's right, the reason why Lei Xiao chose to let Bai Wei show up was to show our sincerity and to intimidate the other party in a small way.
After all, since there is a hidden figure in the conference room, there may not be a second one.
In the same way, the Kingdom of Cold Flame is indeed in danger, but we may not have hidden allies who have not yet appeared.
Under such an elusive situation, even a mercenary guild with a strong foundation will inevitably make a careful assessment of whether it is really determined to go against us.
In other words, a slight display of strength inadvertently may seem like a sign of honesty, but in exchange, it will become more and more unpredictable.
"No wonder His Highness the Prince was able to repel the army of annihilators that came again and again. This is a miraculous battle that has never happened in hundreds, no, thousands of years."
Diana's starry eyes moved, and she immediately noticed everything, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is wiser than the slaves imagined."
"Your Excellency, Vice-President, please stop being sarcastic. If I were really as powerful as the rumors say, I wouldn't be in so much trouble right now."
Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, still in the same tone as when he was talking to an old friend.
"His Royal Highness is being too modest. If we include His Highness's previous dazzling achievements, it would not be an exaggeration to call His Highness the number one human race since the Era. This is something that most human emperors cannot surpass.
great achievements."
Diana still had that meaningful expression and said with a smile: "But there is a saying that I don't know if Your Highness has heard of it, that is, the higher you climb, the harder you fall."
Hearing the sudden change in Diana's words, the expressions of our personnel present changed again, and they all frowned.
The barbed words in the other party's words are obviously telling us that the other party is still keeping a long distance from us.
Among all our people present, only Lei Xiao remained as steady as a mountain, with a calm expression.
"Your Excellency, Vice-President, is really good at joking. You are just moving forward step by step. How can you talk about climbing up?"
Lei Xiao gently shook the teacup in his hand, causing a faint ripple to appear in the cup.
Although Lei Xiao's eyes were focused on the tea cup, his peripheral vision never left the other party's body: "Judging from what the Vice President just said, it seems that I understand the past since I came here very well."
"That's right, since His Highness the Prince took over Kongqing Town and the Kongqing Town Mercenary Guild issued mercenary subsidies, the Nu family has been quietly paying attention to His Highness the Prince."
Diana's starry eyes narrowed slightly and she stared at Lei Xiao unabashedly, as if she wanted to see through the latter. She smiled and said, "The slave family still remembers that His Highness once gave an old druid named Xinshi in public.
It’s a third-level magic staff.”
"With such a combination of kindness and power, it's no wonder that His Royal Highness has been so successful all the way. Not only has he cut off the cancer in Red Arrow Town, he has put a mercenary captain named Donna in charge of recruiting a large number of mercenaries to station, and he has also recruited mercenaries from the Goblin Kingdom.
The famous Randall boy was rescued from the endless passage."
At this point, Diana's eyes fell on the leader of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group next to Lei Xiao, and she raised her eyebrows and said: "Of course, the several deputy members of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group were offered a sky-high price before.
The matter of the Changxie Fangshan Fort Fortress can also be called a classic operation. After all, mercenaries rarely participate in war missions."
"By the way, the new mercenary half-elf Mia of the Zhuyue Clan is also with His Highness, right?"
Diana's starry eyes flickered, and she said with a rather resentful tone: "If you think about it carefully, His Royal Highness has poached many talents from our mercenary guild."
Before Lei Xiao could speak, Diana seemed to have remembered something, and gently rubbed her smooth white chin again and added: "As for recently, His Royal Highness has done a great thing."
"Not only did we spend a lot of money to mobilize all the hundreds of thousands of mercenaries in the entire Cold Flame Kingdom, but even many retired old mercenaries rushed to return to their posts, and they also released various tasks in various surrounding countries.
, the high price offered is even beyond what the nobles of these countries can accept."
"Under His Royal Highness's extravagant spending, mercenaries from all over the country flocked to them, which made the nobles of various countries who could not recruit mercenaries have to leave more soldiers to guard their fiefdoms. This directly led to the increase in the number of the various armies that destroyed the country.
It has been reduced and the quality has also dropped a bit.”
Diana raised her eyebrows and finally concluded: "I have to say, this move by His Royal Highness is truly a classic."
After hearing Diana talk about the lord's operations in detail, our subordinates all opened their eyes wide.
Especially Huzhang, who had been following Lei Xiao, was even more surprised. He didn't expect that this female mercenary could even know everything about Kongqing Town.
As for Lei Xiao, who was sitting in the center, he couldn't help but feel secretly shocked this time.
The other party not only knew his series of operations, but also accurately guessed his intentions, which was indeed quite surprising.
But after thinking about it, Lei Xiao soon felt relieved.
As a senior member of the mercenary guild, it is reasonable to do all this as long as a targeted investigation is conducted.
But this further shows that the other party obviously attaches great importance to and is wary of us, otherwise it would never be possible to investigate so thoroughly.
The reason why the other party puts these things directly in the open is to observe our reaction and bring the topic to a deeper level, so as to judge whether it is our enemy.
In this case, whether you will defuse the other party's alertness or whether the other party will escalate the alertness to hostility depends on your next response.
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said: "As expected of you, your Excellency the Vice-President, I can't remember some things clearly. I didn't expect that the Mercenary Guild would still take it to heart."
"That's natural. His Royal Highness is not only a lord from another world who has descended from the outside world, he is already different from us aborigines, but he is also a new star of power in the Cold Flame Kingdom. Even if our Mercenary Guild wants to pay attention to it, we can't do it.
arrive."
Diana's voice gradually became deeper, and she said with a scrutinizing look: "Since the blank era, as a neutral organization that has protected the human world for three thousand years, our mercenary guild naturally has to evaluate in detail whether His Highness will treat the human world.
Create a threat, if any..."
Diana didn't finish her words, but the meaning was self-evident.
For a time, the atmosphere in the entire royal conference hall became extremely tense again.
"Since your organization has not taken action, it means that I am not that dangerous."
Lei Xiaofeng took a sip of tea lightly, then held the warm tea cup and said: "Your Excellency, Vice President, what do you think of yesterday's announcement by the Temple of Light?"
"This is indeed something that has never happened since ancient times. The three major neutral organizations have never interfered with the royal power, and they will never interfere with disputes between countries, because we all clearly understand that as long as the nature of the human race does not change, war will
It will not stop, power, wealth, desire... humankind is always repeating the same mistakes."
Diana's tone was solemn, but then she changed the topic: "But the arrival of countless lords from other worlds has never happened before. Although the Temple of Light did not explain the reason, it only recognized His Highness as the Holy Light.
The enemy, but His Royal Highness’s identity itself, may be the biggest root cause, because you have threatened the existing power structure of the human world.”
"But has your Excellency the Vice-President ever considered that if other countries are attacking the Cold Flame Kingdom in groups, it is within the understandable range, why would the Temple of Light, which has always remained neutral, also take the initiative to participate?"
Lei Xiao put down the tea cup, looked directly into Diana's starry eyes, and continued: "According to the Temple of Light, if there is really any conspiracy to threaten the human world, and then become the enemy of the Holy Light, why does it
You are so tight-lipped and can’t tell you the specific reason?”
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, the mercenary representatives present began to think secretly.
Just like what the prince from another world said, the series of actions of the Temple of Light were indeed quite strange, which was also the reason why the mercenaries were confused.
To be more precise, the purpose of Diana's trip was to find out the reason.
Only when all this is understood can the Mercenary Guild make the final decision instead of blindly siding with the Temple of Light.
Because the neutrality of neutral organizations not only includes facing the human nations, but also facing other neutral organizations.
It is precisely because of the mercenary guild's attitude of never interfering that it has remained standing for three thousand years and gradually grown into an unshakable behemoth.
Of course, if the target threatens the human world, that's another matter.
"Your Highness, what exactly do you want to say?"
Diana frowned and carefully tasted the meaning of Lei Xiao's words.
"What I mean is, is there a possibility that the Temple of Light is using the name of justice of the Holy Light on the surface, but secretly it is carrying out public and private revenge?"
Lei Xiao's words were loud and reverberated in every corner of the conference room.
"The Temple of Light avenges private revenge? How is this possible?"
Durant looked in disbelief and blurted out: "Although those guys in the Temple of Light are extremely pedantic, they have always taken the fight against evil as their own duty. If His Highness the Prince has not done anything evil, the Temple of Light will
Why do you want to be an enemy of His Highness the Prince again?"
"President Durant Branch, if I could judge everything based on mere assumptions, I wouldn't be here."
Diana glanced at the burly man beside her, then turned to Lei Xiao again, and then said: "Your Highness, since Your Highness said that the Temple of Light is to avenge private revenge, there must be a reason, right? Regarding this, the Nu family
I’m quite curious.”
"Now that everything has been said, I have nothing to hide."
Lei Xiao shrugged, and then said seriously: "Your Excellency, Vice President, do you know the Black Abyss Brotherhood?"
"You mean the Black Abyss Brotherhood?"
Hearing the sound, Diana's expression changed slightly, obviously she knew something.
