"Okay, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Let's leave here first."
Looking at the towering stone wall in front of him and the dark surrounding environment, Lei Xiao, who returned home with a full load, smiled lightly and said to the subordinates surrounding him.
Just like that, under the leadership of Lei Xiao.
The subordinates, Ariel and the other three people did not say anything else. They all flashed and began to fly towards the entrance of the underground square.
Next, follow the route you came from and gallop along the long and ancient corridor, stirring up waves of dust.
Not long after, Lei Xiao and his group of more than ten people came straight to the outside of the clock tower.
Back under the cold moonlit night, Lei Xiao noticed while feeling the cool evening breeze with a hint of blood.
At this time, the shouts of killing coming from the north of the city gradually died down, leaving only the billowing smoke and the sky-high firelight, still billowing back and forth in the sky.
It seems that the Goblin Legion, sensing that the situation is not good, has begun to retreat.
"Now that the crisis in Luolong City has been resolved, we can return to Kongqing Town with peace of mind." After noticing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly to the people around him.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people covered in stars and moons were galloping all the way between the plains and mountains.
Not long after, the familiar city outline quickly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
From this distance, one can clearly see the longing figures on the wall of Kongqing Town.
During this time, under Lei Xiao's order.
Because Kongqing Town is in the process of strengthening the city walls and digging trenches, and it is already a prosperous commercial town.
Therefore, the entire city is still brightly lit inside and outside, making it look very friendly.
By the way, on the way back.
Lei Xiao started to recite again and briefly described the series of situations that had just happened to Chuan Gu, Shi Feng, Guan Zhong, Xuan Yue and Nate who were not present. Everyone was amazed.
In addition, on the way back, Lei Xiao also noticed.
Ariel, who had been hovering not far from him, cast a somewhat urgent gaze over her several times, intentionally or unintentionally.
She was obviously very curious about what happened inside the place where her ancestors slept.
Next, after successfully entering the city.
Lei Xiao and his party went straight back to the city lord's palace, and then returned to the castle hall that was illuminated by light crystals as bright as day.
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was sitting at the top, was seen tilting his head slightly while holding up the steaming tea cup.
When he found Ariel, he followed her as expected and sat on the shorter luxury seat, still looking eager but pretending to be indifferent.
"My dear Fifth Princess, why don't you go back and rest?" Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, took a sip of fragrant tea, and asked knowingly.
At this time, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
In order to finally conquer the arrogant Ariel, we must start from the people around her.
The equally important step is naturally to severely dampen his spirit.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao frowned slightly again and thought to himself: "Speaking of which, if Ariel was also in the hall at that time, things would have been much simpler.
It seems that we have to hurry up and find the Holy Yun Stone that can help Wang Xi recover some energy."
Realizing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but recall the conversation with the hero king Xi Sa, or the time traveler Wang Xi, in the hall, and continued to think.
"From the other party's words, I can learn that this world is far more complicated than I imagined.
As for the authenticity of his words, there should be no doubt, and as I move forward, they can be confirmed one by one. There is no need to worry about this.
In addition, the other party's prompt talent is quite interesting, but as the other party himself said, his system interface is just like a beta version.
Unable to view interfaces such as the trading center, chat channel, and private messages.
Thinking about it this way, could it be said that the other party's time-travel is really a test before the billions of lords can time-travel?
If that is the case, then the matter will undoubtedly be more intriguing."
Just when Lei Xiao was holding a steaming tea cup, he thought of this.
On the other side, I saw that Ariel finally couldn't help it. She frowned slightly and responded: "Don't you plan to tell this princess what happened when you were transported to the place where my ancestors slept?
?”
At this time, judging from Ariel's somewhat annoyed white face, it was obvious that she was still brooding over why she was not the one who was teleported, but this annoying guy in front of her.
However, at the same time, a big question mark emerged in Ariel's mind: "If you think about it from another aspect, since the ancestors chose this annoying guy.
Could it be that...he is really not an ordinary person?"
Realizing this, Ariel unconsciously looked at the first person standing respectfully, Ye Cang, Chao Yan and others, who seemed to be more convinced of their own ideas.
However, she immediately threw this idea away and gently shook her head: "It's impossible, it must be because of the long years that have passed.
This caused a problem in the magic circle. Otherwise, the ancestors would definitely choose me as their descendants!
Furthermore, my ancestor is the King of Heroes who single-handedly created the entire Lengyan royal family, how could he choose this guy who came from another world?"
On the other side, looking at Ariel's complicated expression, Lei Xiao curled his lips slightly.
He continued to murmur to himself: "If only this proud Princess Lengyan knew that her ancestors were actually the same as me.
They are all travelers from Blue Star. I am afraid they will be so surprised that they will transform, right?
By the way, from the perspective of Blue Star's timeline, Wang Xi and I are indeed not much different in age, and we are considered equal to each other.
If that's the case, doesn't Ariel have to call me "ancestor"?"
Thinking of this with some irony, Lei Xiao understood clearly.
At this stage, even if you tell Ariel this, it is impossible for the other party to believe it, and it may even have the opposite effect.
"All in all, let's wait until we find the Holy Yun Stone, take Ariel with us, and let Wang Xi tell her himself.
However, I am really looking forward to it. What kind of expression will she show when she is so proud?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao regained his energy, took another sip of fragrant tea, and then said: "My dear fifth princess, what do you want to know?
By the way, your ancestor, the hero king Xi Sa, and I are not just chatting there."
"So, have you really met my ancestor?!"
Hearing this, Ariel suddenly showed a look of surprise. While holding the armrest of the seat tightly, she leaned forward slightly and asked.
The two kingdom generals at the bottom, Bert and Ju Bai, also began to look at each other in confusion.
There is no doubt that in the Kingdom of Cold Flame, the name of Hero King Xi Sa.
Whether it is to the high-ranking princes or nobles or to ordinary civilians, it is a legendary existence.
However, the one who was most shocked was naturally Ariel herself.
You must know that as the saying goes, debut is the peak, the era of Hero King Caesar was the most glorious era of the Cold Flame Kingdom.
At that time, not only the hero king Xi Sa himself finally reached the level of the fifth-level peak powerhouse.
The two most important combat forces under his command, Peilan, the leader of the Royal Terrain Dragon Knights, and Wangyou, the leader of the half-elf archers, are also two peak fifth-level warriors with monstrous strength!
The most important thing is that for Ariel, who has grown up listening to the adventure stories of the King of Heroes.
The three words "King of Heroes" undoubtedly hold great weight.
Moreover, ancient books passed down from generation to generation by the Lengyan royal family revealed that the place where the ancestor hero King Xisar slept did indeed have some magical secret sealed.
Therefore, it is not impossible for the ancestors to reveal their true form again.
"That's right."
Looking at the shocked expression on Ariel's delicate face, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and continued: "I have to say, you do look somewhat similar to your ancestors, especially your hair."
"real?"
Hearing this, Ariel's fair face suddenly showed a hint of joy.
However, he returned to normal immediately and said with a suspicious look on his face: "Speaking of which, how can you prove that you have indeed met my ancestors?"
Not far away, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "In other words, I went in safe and sound, and came out intact again. Isn't that the best proof?"
Of course, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
I want Princess Ariel to completely believe that she has met her ancestors.
Naturally, we have to come up with some family secrets that only members of the royal family know.
Therefore, when I was chatting with Wang Xi.
Lei Xiao specifically asked some questions about this aspect, but Wang Xi ignored them and told them all.
I have to say that when I heard these secrets for the first time, Lei Xiao actually laughed out loud.
"For example, your ancestors told me that all members of Leng Yan's royal family must learn to recite Xiao Jiujiu before entering the aristocratic academy..."
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao spoke out more than ten royal family rules in one breath, which were very similar to Daxia.
On the other side, hearing Lei Xiao describe endlessly about her family’s secrets, Ariel couldn’t believe her ears.
You know, in order to complete these inexplicable and wise family rules, she went through a lot of troubles, and for the first time, she experienced the hardships of being a member of the royal family...
Having said that, since the annoying guy in front of me knows these things, the answer is naturally self-evident.
This guy seems to have really seen her ancestors!
At the same time, Bert and Jubai, who were at the bottom, looked at each other again.
It can be clearly seen from the expression of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
What this alien lord said is undoubtedly true.
So, His Majesty the Great Hero King really chose this young alien lord over his descendant Princess Ariel?!
Then, things are obvious.
To be favored by the King of Heroes, this alien lord is indeed no ordinary person!
Realizing this, the hearts of the two kingdom generals instantly stirred up huge waves.
"How's it going? Do you have any questions?"
Looking at the dull expression on Ariel's pretty face, Lei Xiao shrugged slightly and drank the fragrant tea in the cup.
"Then what did my ancestors say to you?" On the other side, Ariel, who also looked incredulous, quickly asked again.
"I will naturally tell you this when the time comes."
Taking the tea cup respectfully handed over by Ah Bing again, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "However, what I can tell you is that I have reached some kind of agreement with the Hero King Xi Sa."
At this stage, it is obviously meaningless to mention matters such as the catastrophe to Ariel and the other three.
Therefore, taking this opportunity to leave an unfathomable sense of mystery in the hearts of the three people will undoubtedly be more conducive to our next actions.
After all, after subduing Aoki, who is the deputy captain of the guard, and returning with Ariel's personal maid Xing.
Our next target is naturally the two generals of the kingdom who have high status and power in the Cold Flame Kingdom, but are currently in a state of absolute decline.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and his eyes passed over Ariel, Giant Ax General Bert and Holy Light General Ju Bai.
He added: "Also, I have made an appointment with Hero King Xi Sa for the next time.
At that time, if I am willing, it is not impossible to bring my dear fifth princess with me next time."
What Lei Xiao said is certainly not a lie.
However, the issue of the Holy Yun Stone was not mentioned.
The moment when the Shengyun Stone is found is undoubtedly the time to meet Wang Xi next time.
Moreover, in his words, Lei Xiao also revealed a key piece of information.
That is, as a descendant of Ariel, the prerequisite for whether she can meet the ancestral hero king Xi Sa depends on Lei Xiao, not anyone else.
This point is very important, and it also shows from the side that Lei Xiao and Hero King Xi Sa are at least on an equal footing.
As expected, upon hearing this, both Ariel, Burt and Ju Bai couldn't help but reveal a look of disbelief on their faces.
Regarding the message conveyed by Lei Xiao, the three of them fully understood its meaning immediately.
Regardless of anything else, the fact that a lord from another world who has just arrived is on the same level as the Hero King Caesar is enough to prove that he is definitely an extraordinary person!
At this moment, I looked at Lei Xiao who was drinking tea calmly.
The faces of Ariel and the other three people began to look confused and uncertain.
Although this is just a one-sided statement, what Lei Xiao said before about the secrets of the royal family is true.
Therefore, how much of this is true and how much of it is false has naturally become an unproven question.
Unless, we can really see again the hero king himself who has fallen for hundreds of years.
On the other side, Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the complicated expressions on the faces of Ariel and the three of them and smiled lightly.
At this point, his goal has been achieved.
Next, as long as the two kingdom generals can be conquered respectively.
Then, the final Ariel will naturally be easy to handle.
Even the two legions left in the royal capital under the two kingdom generals will fall under our control at the same time.
To put it ten thousand steps back, even if it is difficult to control for a while, if these two legions do not become our own enemies when the war comes, it will still be a victory.
"Okay, my dear Fifth Princess, let's talk about other things."
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Lei Xiao changed the topic and said, "When we were in the underground square just now, you seem to have seen those black-robed people wearing white masks before?"
"Indeed."
Hearing this, Ariel regained her composure, straightened her slightly curly black hair, and responded: "At that time, when I was in the royal capital.
There was once a group of weirdly dressed guys like this in the team of assassins who assassinated this princess.
It’s just that we let them run away that time and we didn’t learn their specific identities.”
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao's expression became serious and he frowned slightly.
Naturally, the only ones who want to kill Ariel are a few other princes.
Combined with this, it undoubtedly fully demonstrates that one of the several princes vying for power is likely to have joined this mysterious organization.
"No wonder the powerful men of the mysterious organization have become increasingly arrogant and domineering in their recent actions in the Cold Flame Kingdom. It turns out that it is because someone is secretly mediating for them in the capital..."
Realizing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, showing a look of sudden enlightenment.
He continued to think secretly in his heart: "However, this does not affect the matter that our side is currently implementing to stir up disputes between the Leng Yan royal family and the mysterious organization.
After all, as long as one prince joins the mysterious organization, other princes will never be allowed to join, which is not necessarily a good thing."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao frowned again and asked: "I wonder if your dear Fifth Princess, Her Royal Highness, has any other clues about these mysterious powerful men?"
"That's not true." On the other side, Ariel sighed softly.
He shook his head helplessly and said: "These people's actions are extremely strict and their strength is not bad. All the guards can be killed with one strike without leaving any flaws.
Therefore, this left a deep impression in my heart.”
"I understand, it really fits their usual ruthless style."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, smiled slightly at Ariel and said: "Okay, my dear fifth princess, that's it for today.
I've had a great time getting along with you during this period, and I hope we can have the opportunity to cooperate next time."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ariel to reply, Lei Xiao led all his subordinates and left the hall with great strides.
Just like that, under the watch of Ye Cang and others who stayed behind.
Lei Xiao didn't stop at Kongqing Town, and went straight to the territory in the forest with Huzhang and others.
Next, it’s naturally time to take stock of this harvest!
