Chapter 280 The mysterious thing

Just after the call was connected, Lin and Nan Xing's crisp and sassy voices reached Lei Xiao's ears at the same time: "Good evening, Lord!"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.

I have to say, it is really reassuring to hear the clean and clear voices of these two heroic subordinates.

“Lin, let’s start with you.”

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly. Sitting on the throne, Lei Xiao picked up the exquisite kettle on the side, poured himself a glass of mountain spring water, and said.

"As ordered! Lord!" Lin's capable report came again: "Just as the Lord expected.

 Shortly after you left, Princess Ariel summoned her subordinates to her room alone and began to ask for information about you."

 “Oh? Is that really the case...”

Hearing this, Lei Xiao first picked up his own wooden cup and took a sip of water.

Then he smiled lightly and said: "It seems that Leng Yan's fifth princess is really an easy person to see through."

“And the issue that the other party is most concerned about is our specific strength and territorial location.”

Immediately, Lin's voice sounded again: "And my subordinates also followed the Lord's instructions.

As an advisor to the city lord of Kongqing Town, he conveyed a series of incredible information to the other party in an ambiguous way.

For example, the lord's territory is in a certain monster lair deep in the Baibu Mountains.

Some people also saw the lord riding a real dragon, flying in the sky, etc..."

“Very good.” Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.

 In this world, dragons are extremely proud and powerful creatures.

The lowest level of strength is above the fourth level, and the sixth-level purple-winged dragon that we once saw in the half-elf illusion is an extremely terrifying existence.

Of course, because this continent is extremely vast, and the dragon race is a rare race, it has a very strong sense of territory and will hardly leave its territory.

 Therefore, it is difficult to meet.

However, in the long history of the human race, there were indeed many dragon knights.

 These dragon knights are all legendary figures, respected and worshiped by thousands of people.

All in all, only with the heartfelt approval of the Dragon Clan can it be possible for this noble and powerful creature to bend down and become a willing mount.

 And this is often something that more than 99% of high-level experts cannot do, even if they are stronger.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao suddenly showed a look of expectation, and said to himself: "Perhaps, we can conquer a dragon in the future, it is still unknown."

After regaining his composure, Lei Xiao put down the wooden cup in his hand, and then said: "It seems that after these remarks, Princess Ariel is still in a state of confusion, right?"

Smiled slightly, and while he was thinking, Lei Xiao looked at the half-empty water in the wooden cup, and then asked: "By the way, Lin, does the other party have any doubts about your identity as the city lord's advisor?"

“Back to my lord, Princess Ariel, I have indeed tested my subordinates from the side many times.”

From the other side, Lin's respectful voice came over again: "However, according to the Lord's instructions.

 The subordinate used his identity as a member of the Shanglu family to infiltrate the lords of other worlds as a cover, and did not reveal any flaws."

"Very good." Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, thought for a moment, and continued to ask: "Has the other party mentioned any other matters?"

“Back to the lord, in addition to this, Princess Ariel also inquired in detail about the geographical environment around Kongqing Town, especially the other surrounding towns. She seems to be very interested.”

  Immediately afterwards, Lin's clear voice sounded again.

"Oh?" After hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a look of deep thought on his face, and he said thoughtfully: "It seems that Ariel is on a mission to Kongqing Town this time.

 In addition to avoiding the power struggle in the royal capital, there are obviously other purposes.”

“Lord, regarding this matter, my subordinates and Nanyue also discovered some clues during the surveillance process.”

 On the other side, the sharp sound like the wind chimes of Nanxing immediately reached Lei Xiao's ears: "After Lin left.

The Lengyan Princess found two fourth-level powerhouses who were traveling with her, the Giant Ax General Burt and the Holy Light General Ju Bai.

 In the meantime, apart from complaining that the lord is too...strong.

  also mentioned “that thing” several times.

However, since the three of them did not discuss this matter in detail, they just decided to settle down for a period of time and let us relax our vigilance before making other plans.

 Hence, my subordinates haven’t figured out what “that matter” is.”

“It seems that this fifth princess definitely didn’t say anything good about me behind my back.”

Smiled helplessly, Lei Xiao picked up the water glass, took a sip of water first, and then continued: "But having said that, since the other party plans to be stable for a period of time.

That would be perfect for our poaching matters.

  Lin, how is the identity and background investigation of the other party’s entourage going?”

“Returning to the lord, my subordinates divided the opponent’s entourage into three parts.

They are two fourth-level kingdom generals, five third-level personal maids, as well as members of the other two squadrons of guards and other miscellaneous personnel.

 At present, they are all under covert investigation, and I believe we will be able to get some clues soon.”

 On the other side, Lin's more neutral voice sounded again.

 “Very good, you all did a great job.”

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao put down the water glass, stood up from the throne, and while stretching his muscles, he said: "In that case.

Then, our next focus will still be on monitoring Ariel and investigating the identities of those accompanying her.

Only when we know the specific information of some of the entourage, can we take the right measures and dig into the corner of the Cold Flame Princess in a targeted manner to obtain more useful information about the other party.

Of course, regarding the so-called "that matter", we need to pay more careful attention and figure out the other purpose of the other party's coming here as soon as possible."

 “As you command! Lord!” On the other end of the conversation, the capable voices of Lin and Nanxing reached Lei Xiao’s ears at the same time.

Just like that, after giving a few more instructions to the two of them, Lei Xiao stopped talking and started walking upstairs in the mansion.

 Next, it’s time to recharge and face the new day.

“It seems that there are really a lot of curious things about Ariel.”

 A moment later, Lei Xiao, who was lying on the spacious bed, couldn't help but reveal a playful smile: "But, now that you're here.

There are many things that naturally cannot be decided by this proud fifth princess of Lengyan."
