"Not bad, not bad. In this way, I have added another fourth-level strongman under my command!"
After closing Gale's attribute bar, Lei Xiao nodded happily: "Furthermore, it will undoubtedly be a crucial step in supporting Lin to become the head of the Shanglu family in the near future!"
In his excitement, Lei Xiao first drank all the tea in the cup, and then motioned for Gale to sit next to him while asking questions about the Lord of Fanyin City, Orr.
Needless to say, the last fourth-level recruitment order on his body was naturally reserved for him.
"Back to my lord, the situation that I have learned is this."
Hearing the sound, Gale bowed slightly and fully described what he understood.
First of all, the family of Fanyin City Lord Al belongs to Leng Yan's marquis family, and Fanyin City is the fiefdom of his family.
His family history can be traced back to the era of the Hero King.
The first-generation head of the family was a captain of the Guards Magic Corps under the King of Heroes. He followed the King of Heroes to fight in all directions, and he had made outstanding achievements and made great contributions to Leng Yan.
Secondly, when Orr was young, he served as a court magician in the Lengyan royal family. It was not until ten years ago, when he inherited the title of head of the family, that he returned to his hometown to take charge of Fanyin City.
Finally, in the past ten years, under Orpo's diligent governance, Fanyin City gradually began to become more prosperous, and eventually became an indispensable commercial center in the eastern region of Lengyan.
"Understood."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, thinking thoughtfully.
What Gale said is very similar to what Kelly once described.
Although it can help me understand Orr's character better, the most critical link to conquer Orr is still missing.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and immediately asked: "President Gale, the internal fighting in the Royal Capital has not yet been finalized. Do you know anything about the forces that Orr belongs to?"
Hearing the sound, Gale immediately understood what Lei Xiao meant.
Different from remote small towns, Fanyin City, as a commodity distribution center, is undoubtedly an extremely important commercial hub for the eastern region of Lengyan.
It is no exaggeration to say that controlling Fanyin City is almost equivalent to controlling at least half of the commercial lifeline in the eastern region of Lengyan.
Of course, this also includes essential living supplies such as food and various daily necessities.
This is naturally very clear to the three princes in the royal capital.
Therefore, the three forces will definitely send people to win over each other and prepare in advance for possible large-scale sword fights in the future.
All in all, if Orr remains neutral, everything will be fine.
But if he is already standing behind a certain prince, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult to win him over.
Realizing this, Gale couldn't help but shook his head and responded: "To be honest with you Lord, although my subordinate has a good personal relationship with Lord Orr and even knows his hobbies and interests well, the other party never mentioned it.
I have been involved in these matters.”
After a pause, Gale, who was tall and strong, seemed to have remembered something, and then said: "By the way, Lord Lord, you once told your daughter to pay close attention to Orr's movements, especially whether there are any minions of other princes.
Come and get in touch.
As far as my subordinates know, there is nothing unusual in this regard, but it cannot be ruled out that Orr hid it perfectly."
"It seems that Al is indeed a man of great wealth."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
At this stage, it is impossible to confirm whether Orr is neutral.
Guang relied on himself and Orr to have a common enemy, the mysterious organization, and his previous strength in the Titan underground temple.
Obviously, there is no 100% guarantee that the opponent can be successfully conquered.
And once the contract signing fails, not only will you lose a precious fourth-level recruitment order.
Moreover, for a long period of time in the future, it will be impossible to sign a master-servant contract face to face.
Therefore, naturally we cannot take this risk casually.
"This is a bit difficult to handle."
Pouring his lips slightly, Lei Xiao's eyes moved and fell on the little princess Leng Yan beside him, and asked: "Ariel, how much do you know about Al?"
"When I return to the Lord, I don't have much impression."
Staring eyes rolled up in thought for a while, Ariel shook her head and sighed softly: "When this person served as a court magician in the royal family, his subordinates were only in their early teens. I really can't remember."
There is no doubt that although Ariel is well aware of Leng Yan's geography and culture, her understanding of the current rulers in various places is limited.
After all, before this, Ariel never thought that one day she would be assassinated by assassins hired by her brothers and be forced to leave the royal capital.
I never thought that I would embark on the path of carrying the banner of Leng Yan.
At this time, Ariel's expression became determined again.
Now that I have made up my mind to embark on this thorny road with the help of the lord, I must go on unswervingly!
Looking at the perseverance shown on Ariel's fair face, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said: "That's all, let's discuss the matter of subduing Orr in the long run. The top priority now is to first reach an agreement with the Dragon Teeth Mercenaries.
The regiment’s employment agreement.”
"As you command! Lord!"
Hearing the sound, all the subordinates stood up and saluted, saying in unison.
In this way, Lei Xiao and his party, who had rested for a while in the VIP room, walked towards the banquet hall under the guidance of Gale and Kelly.
In the process, Lei Xiao learned more.
This private banquet was attended only by my group and the powerful men from the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group.
In addition, even other family members of Gale and Kelly were not invited. After all, this place has just been completely under the rule of their collateral families, and it cannot be ruled out that there are still remaining direct descendants.
The Lord of Fanyin City, Orr, is still conducting archaeological work on the Titan underground temple with the old magician Calvin.
Although there are no more noteworthy treasures in it, the alien temple itself is undoubtedly an extremely valuable asset to history.
As for Blue Rose and Broken Blade, these two strong men of the independent mercenary group, they had finished cleaning up the remaining nearly 40 damaged giant battle axes and entrusted the Fanyin City Phytolacca Trade Fair under the control of Gale.
After the sale, they returned to their respective places happily.
"Lord, according to the valuation of my uncle, the price of each Titan clan ax is at least 100,000 gold dragons. It really gives those two independent mercenary groups a big advantage!"
At this time, Kelly, who was walking in the front, turned around and whispered softly: "We were given a total of 50 battle axes, excluding the more than 10 that the Lord took away.
According to each side getting one-third, each of the two independent mercenary groups can get at least 1.5 million golden dragons! No wonder I didn’t even close my mouth when I left, and I kept thanking the lord."
"Girl, be careful, the walls have ears. The lord is a drunkard, and his intention is not to drink, but to have a deeper meaning."
Gail shook his head slightly at Kelly, and Gale frowned.
"The drunkard doesn't care about drinking?"
After blinking her starry eyes and thinking for a moment, Kelly suddenly realized: "Is it possible that the lord is preparing to conquer..."
Before she finished speaking, under Gale's rather stern gaze, Kelly quickly covered her mouth, then smiled at Lei Xiao and stopped talking.
Looking at Kelly's cautious look like a frightened rabbit, Lei Xiao couldn't help but shook his head.
In a short time, I passed through a classical corridor covered with high-end red carpets and covered with magical paintings on the walls.
Lei Xiao and his group of thirteen people had already entered a spacious and bright hall.
Under the shining of the crystal clear crystal tassel chandelier, Lei Xiao noticed.
It has an area of about two hundred square meters. The white walls are neatly engraved with golden hollow scroll patterns, acanthus leaf decorations, scallop flower decorations and many other gorgeous textures. It looks elegant but also reveals a certain level of luxury.
In the hall, young maids and attendants carrying dinner plates walked back and forth. Seven or eight long dining tables covered with exquisite milky white tablecloths were already filled with a variety of meats, fruits and pastries.
It looks like pieces of art on a plate.
At the same time, the refreshing aroma of warm food also spread into the nostrils of the group of people.
Seeing Lei Xiao and others coming, all the maids and attendants immediately bowed and saluted, their faces full of respect.
After seeing this scene, Lei Xiao, expressionless, nodded slightly.
Such a scene, if placed in the previous life, would undoubtedly be a scene that he would never see in his lifetime, and it would be enough to make him unforgettable for the rest of his life.
But now, it is just an ordinary day.
"Lord, this is the venue for this private banquet. If the lord is not satisfied, I will instruct the lord to go to other venues to check."
Just when Lei Xiao was sighing secretly, Gale's respectful voice came from the side: "Furthermore, I have hired the best string band, dancers and minstrels in Fanyin City.
You can come in and perform to add to the fun.”
"Very good, this is it. I'm very satisfied."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao's eyes wandered, nodded slightly, and acknowledged.
"Understood, Lord Lord, there are twelve strong men from the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group invited this time..."
Immediately afterwards, Gale's respectful voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
Next, after Gale's introduction, Lei Xiao learned.
At the auction at that time, the fourth-level eight-star water magician pretending to be an old auctioneer was none other than Master Walter, the deputy leader of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group.
The other two old great magicians are both at the fourth-level six-star level. They are the great fire magician Master Phil, and the great earth magician Master Swell. In the mercenary world of Lengyan, they are both
A well-known heavyweight.
As for the remaining nine mercenaries, they are all at the peak level of the third level, and they are all senior mercenaries who can be called names in the mercenary world.
"Lord, it is worth mentioning that the leader of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group has been missing for many years. As for the specific situation, these Taishan Beidou-level great magicians in the mercenary world have kept it secret. There must be one of them.
Reason."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Gale whispered again.
"I see."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
"Lord, it's almost time. The strong men of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group should have arrived. My subordinates will go and pick them up."
Seeing that the food was almost ready, Gale reported again.
"Go ahead."
Nodding to the middle-aged strong man in front of him who was strong and thoughtful, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
When Gale bowed and left, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the surrounding subordinates again.
The trio of foodies, one wolf and one dragon, needless to say, have already prepared a dinner plate in one hand and a knife and fork in the other, and are waiting for the banquet to officially begin.
Ariel, on the other hand, was quietly standing beside her, surrounded by two generals of the kingdom.
Lei Xiao's purpose this time was to hire strong men from the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group to guard the mountain fortress in the name of the fifth princess, Ariel.
Therefore, his identity is still the guest of Her Highness the Fifth Princess, and there is naturally no need to hide Ariel's identity as a princess.
As for the knotweed and other subordinates, they are scattered around Lei Xiao, always in case of sudden events.
It didn't take long for a burst of hearty laughter to reach Lei Xiao's ears from outside the banquet hall: "Haha, President Gale, no matter what, you can treat us old men to dinner.
Our honor."
"Master Walter is too polite. It is an honor for you to come to this Fanyin City Trade Fair."
Immediately afterwards, Gale's humble voice came over: "Of course, as I just said, the person who invited all the distinguished guests this time is a mysterious big man."
"A mysterious big shot? That really makes me look forward to it!"
There was another burst of laughter, and the first old voice sounded again.
Next, there was a series of increasingly clear footsteps.
Under Gale's guidance, three old magicians wearing blue, red, and yellow magic robes of different colors appeared at the gate.
Behind them, there are a group of middle-aged magicians standing in line, they are other strong men of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group.
“So it’s Her Royal Highness the Princess?”
Recognizing Ariel next to Lei Xiao at a glance, the old man in blue robe who was leading the magician was startled for a moment, and immediately came up with a group of mercenaries. They all knelt on one knee and said: "See you, Your Royal Highness!"
"Excuse me, the protagonist here today is not me, but him."
Raising her hand slightly, Ariel turned aside and let Lei Xiao out.
"ah?"
After hearing Ariel's incomprehensible words, they were confused and all the powerful mercenaries' eyes couldn't help but fall on Lei Xiao.
