"My dear Fifth Princess, have you made up your mind?"
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and smiled lightly.
"As you said, I don't want to see Leng Yan fall into the dual vortex of power and foreign enemies. This feeling of powerlessness just waiting to be killed is really confusing and even painful."
Nodding towards Lei Xiao, Ariel's starry eyes remained firm and she said loudly: "As a member of the Lengyan royal family, I want to use my meager power to restore this land that I love deeply to its past.
I want to use my own hands to create a future that everyone longs for!"
"The momentum is good. It seems that Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess has begun to take shape as the future Queen."
Looking at the determined look on Ariel's fair cheeks, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
"Although I don't know if I can be qualified for the role of a princess... no, the queen of a country, but I want to truly protect Leng Yan's heart, and I will never lose to anyone!"
Ariel leaned forward and took a step forward: "Even if this is a road full of thorns and twists and turns, I am willing to overcome the thorns and go on firmly with courage and determination!"
"However, I am also self-aware."
Speaking of this, Ariel's delicate face showed another hint of helplessness.
Then he shook his head and said: "With my little strength, once I get on the real battlefield, I'm afraid I will be wiped out in an instant. My brothers will never show mercy to me."
Thinking of the many assassinations she had suffered in the royal capital before, Ariel's expression became extremely complicated again. Her pair of delicate white hands clenched and unclenched several times, and finally turned into white clenched fists.
.
Immediately afterwards, Ariel raised her head again, looked up at Lei Xiao on the throne and said, "You are from another world, are you really willing to help me?"
At this time, Ariel clearly understood.
Surrounded by strong men in front of her, with an endless supply of fifth-level magic weapons, and whose true power is bottomless, this young man is undoubtedly her only hope to take this step.
Moreover, in the place where her ancestors slept in Luolong City, the incident of this young man from another world being summoned by the ancestral hero king has always been fresh in her memory.
Being summoned by the king who single-handedly established the Cold Flame, this alone proves that he is unusual.
"certainly."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, smiled lightly and said, "It must be a very interesting thing to support a princess to become the queen of a country."
"But...why do you want to help me like this?"
On the other side, Ariel took another step forward, her starry eyes twinkling, and said cautiously: "In other words, what is your purpose in doing this?"
"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, you have already asked me this question once when you were at the Mountain Castle Fortress. The reason for the matter is still the same."
I saw Lei Xiao walking down from the high platform where the throne was, and said bluntly: "Because I am not just helping you, but my colleagues are also helping myself."
Having said this, Lei Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If I put it another way, it means that in your opinion, I, a visitor from another world, am just struggling for my own survival."
“Struggle for survival?”
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, a look of disbelief suddenly appeared on Ariel's delicate face.
"This guy...can't be in Versailles, right? With the huge energy displayed by this guy, in this land of Lengyan, except for my Lengyan royal family, I am afraid that no other force can check and balance this.
Need to struggle for survival? This is simply reaching the pinnacle of life."
Thinking of this with a face of surprise and uncertainty, the confusion on Ariel's face became more obvious.
Immediately afterwards, Ariel seemed to remember something and asked doubtfully: "I remember you once said at that time that everything the world is about to face is far beyond my imagination. Is it because of this incident?"
"That's right, it's exactly because of this."
Lei Xiao, who nodded slightly, had already arrived in front of Ariel, and said bluntly: "And, as far as I know, this unknown thing is just the prelude to a series of unknown events that will follow."
There is no doubt that what Lei Xiao is referring to is the catastrophe.
Now that Ariel has made up her mind, it's time to reveal everything.
"What exactly happened? Can you tell me now?"
On the other side, the confusion on Ariel's face became more and more obvious, and she quickly asked.
"Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, do you know about the Cataclysm?"
Waving his hand slightly to signal Ariel to relax, Lei Xiao said with a faint smile.
"Cataclysm?"
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Ariel said thoughtfully: "I remember that when my father was still in good health, I seemed to have discussed this matter with Uncle Wu, but at that time, my thoughts were all on holding a birthday party.
Already..."
Having said this, Ariel shook her head in embarrassment, and then said: "As for the specific matter, I don't know."
"According to the prophecy, this is a terrible catastrophe that is about to sweep the entire world, but the specific time of its start and even its content are still unclear."
Looking directly into Ariel's starry eyes, Lei Xiao said sternly: "The ones who will be affected are not only you aborigines and all the races on the mainland, but also us lords from other worlds who have traveled through time."
"Seriously?"
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Ariel's face, and she said in disbelief: "You are not fooling me, are you? How is this possible?!"
"It's a very normal reaction. Most people must be the same as you and won't believe it at all."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao responded: "Regarding this matter, I first heard the prophecies twice in succession, and then met a madman in Fanyin City, and they all pointed to this point invariably."
Needless to say, this is what Lei Xiao was referring to.
Naturally, it is what Zhusha said, the prophecy of the elders in the magic tower, the prophecy of Shen Banxia's subordinate Xina, and the crazy bard Old Nick of Fanyin City.
"Even so, I still haven't completely confirmed this matter. I just feel that there may be some potential connection with the inexplicable arrival of us lords here."
Nodding to Ariel, Lei Xiao continued to speak shockingly: "Maybe you don't know the specific number of alien lords who have descended on this world, but I might as well tell you that there are a billion people."
“A billion people?!”
After hearing this huge number, not only Ariel, but also all the subordinates around Lei Xiao showed expressions of astonishment.
There is no doubt that this is the first time that the Lord has mentioned this specific number.
However, after calming down for a moment, everyone present could not help but gradually calm down again.
According to the knowledge they possess, the world is vast and composed of countless continental plates combined together.
If the billions of alien lords who descended were distributed on every continent, that could be explained.
"I think what you are thinking now must be that this world is so vast that it is almost unmeasurable, with countless continents. Is this a matter of course?"
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "However, for me, a visitor from another world, this is an extremely unreasonable thing.
The most incredible thing to me is why each continent is independent and cannot be connected with each other, but there are amazing similarities in currency system, power system, customs, social class, and even legends."
"Besides this continent, there are countless other continents. They are all passed down from our ancestors. They are said to be revelations from God. The Temple of Light, which is distributed in all human countries, also agrees with this statement."
Ariel frowned slightly and said in deep thought: "Originally, I was half-convinced about this matter, but since you said that a billion lords are coming, this is the only way to explain it."
Immediately afterwards, Ariel seemed to remember something.
He added: "In addition, not long after your alien lords suddenly arrived, when I was still in the royal capital, I heard that there seemed to be a very small number of low-level strong men and farmers in remote areas who were said to have signed an agreement.
After signing a certain contract, he was summoned to other continents..."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Since most of the subordinates under his command are summoned from other continents.
Then, it is only natural for the powerful men of this continent to be summoned by the lords of other continents.
On the other side, except Hong Ye, Ju Bai, Bert, Lin, A Ling, A Bing and Bai Wei.
Huzhang, Yecang, Chaoyan, Nanxing and Nanyue all had expressions of deep approval.
Due to various reasons, they themselves finally accepted the master-servant contract with unlimited possibilities and were summoned from their original continent. Naturally, they knew this.
At this time, the five people couldn't help but look at Lei Xiao in front of him, and they all showed reverence.
It has to be said that accepting the call to come here and serve under the Lord is undoubtedly the most correct choice in their lives.
"It is precisely because in this strange world that there are many things that I, as a visitor from another world, cannot understand, that I have always kept the cataclysm in mind and have not chosen to ignore it."
Smiling helplessly, Lei Xiao continued: "After all, it is already an unbelievable thing for me to come here inexplicably from my original world. What else is impossible to happen?"
"What you said makes sense."
Nodding thoughtfully, Ariel mused: "If you tell a noble or even a commoner about the catastrophe, in addition to being regarded as a madman, I am afraid that no one will believe it easily, including my three
Brother Wang is here."
"However, one day I will find out the truth about all these incredible things."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao spoke again: "Speaking of which, regarding the catastrophe, even the dear Fifth Princess is still half-convinced, right?"
"No, I absolutely believe you."
Ariel shook her head first, and then said with a helpless smile: "Otherwise, I really can't find any other reason why you would help me. You want to find a reliable aboriginal ally to deal with it together.
The crisis of a catastrophe, right?”
"That's probably what it means."
On the other side, Lei Xiao shrugged.
What he wants to do is naturally not just to turn Ariel into an ally.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao nodded to Ariel and continued: "Although I have heard the terrifying words "cataclysm" many times before this, what really makes me feel...
Things were not simple when we were in the place where our ancestors slept in Luolong City."
"Coming from another world, you mean the time you talked with my ancestor, the King of Heroes?"
Hearing the sound, Ariel's eyes lit up and she asked quickly.
"That's right, my dear Fifth Princess, haven't you always wanted to know what your ancestor said to me in the place where the ancestors slept? Then I will satisfy your curiosity."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao recounted to Ariel the general content of the conversation when he met Wang Xi.
During this process, Lei Xiao temporarily ignored the fact that Wang Xi was also a time traveler and had the gift of prompting.
This will prevent Ariel from being shocked and short-circuiting her brain, which will not be conducive to the subsequent subjugation work.
"So that's it. My ancestor, the King of Heroes, also foresaw the catastrophe and regarded you as the key to solving the problem. The most important thing is that the catastrophe was just the prelude to a series of unknown and terrible things. In addition,
My ancestors also mentioned illusory gods..."
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Ariel was stunned for a while before she came to her senses again.
"That's about it."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao added: "However, right now, the main problem we are facing is the catastrophe, and whether I can really solve this problem is still unknown. It is just a possibility.
"
After gently waving his hand to Ariel, indicating that there was no need to be nervous, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and said, "After all, I don't even understand the content of the Cataclysm yet."
At this point, Lei Xiao's expression became awe-inspiring again: "Therefore, I must seize all the time and race against time to develop, so that I can have a chance to cope with the upcoming catastrophe, and Leng Yan is just my first step.
It’s just the first step.”
"I understand, everything is understood."
I saw Ariel taking a deep breath first, and then sighed to Lei Xiao: "I didn't expect that what you are thinking of has far exceeded the scope of a country. It really makes me sit up and take notice..."
After finishing speaking, Ariel couldn't help but cast a complicated look at Lei Xiao that was mixed with surprise and awe.
"Okay, my dear Fifth Princess, let's get back to the topic."
Smiling faintly at Ariel, Lei Xiao said leisurely: "If you want to gain my full support, you still need a simple condition."
