After getting up, looking at Lei Xiao next to Ariel, the three old magicians with wrinkled faces couldn't help but start looking at each other.
Due to their bohemian character, although they did not accept the royal call, they became aristocrats.
However, she still knows a lot about Ariel, who is a member of the royal family.
After all, the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group is famous in the cold flame mercenary world, and the employers who can afford to hire them are basically either rich or noble. From the mouths of these employers alone, you can get a lot of information about the upper class society.
Among all this information, one of the most talked-about topics is naturally the youngest princess of Leng Yan in front of her.
As a member of the royal family that rules the entire Leng Yan, Princess Leng Yan, who was born with a golden spoon of power, is undoubtedly a noble being beneath one person and above ten thousand people.
What's more, the coveted term "princess" itself is one of the heroines that will inevitably exist in most fairy tales and brave stories. She is born with an aura that attracts the attention of thousands of people.
The most important thing is that this little princess Lengyan is the apple of the old king's eye. She has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child.
Coupled with his exquisite appearance and elite education.
This makes the noble Princess Ariel very popular both in the aristocratic circle and among the common people.
Of course, it is inevitable that Princess Ariel's arrogant and domineering character is also well-known in the aristocratic circle.
But there is such a Princess Leng Yan, who is the absolute protagonist no matter where she goes...
He actually immediately said that he was not the protagonist of the party and pushed out the gentle-faced young man next to him?
Such behavior is simply incredible!
In addition to being surprised, Master Walter, who is the deputy leader of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group and a fourth-level eight-star water magician, first looked Lei Xiao up and down with his old eyes, and then tentatively said: "Excuse me, your Excellency.
…”
At this moment, old Walter understood clearly in his heart.
Although he did not know the origin of the young man in front of him, the person who could be introduced by the proud Princess in this way was obviously not an ordinary person. This alone was naturally enough for him to look at him differently.
Before Lei Xiao could speak, Ariel on the side quickly cleared her throat, and then introduced her seriously: "This is my guest Chensha. His words can fully represent my princess. Others
Yes, there’s no need for me, the princess, to say any more, right?”
"It turns out to be Your Excellency Keqing!"
After bowing slightly to Ariel, Old Walter's eyes focused on Lei Xiao again, and he complimented with a smile: "To be appreciated by Her Royal Highness the Princess at such an age, Your Excellency Keqing is really young and promising!"
"Master Walter thanks you for the award."
Smiling faintly at the old magician in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said: "This time, the reason why I troubled President Gale to invite you all here is because Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to have a glimpse of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group. If so,
If there are any inaccuracies, please forgive me."
At this time, Lei Xiao noticed.
At the auction, the strong mercenary who pretended to be an old auctioneer had changes in his voice and appearance.
However, according to Huzhang's report just now, the other party's aura has not changed at all.
It can be seen that at that time, the other party undoubtedly performed elaborate disguises.
It's no wonder that, as Leng Yan is a well-known strong mercenary, when he appears in public to perform secret missions, he naturally needs to conceal his true identity.
In addition, according to what Huzhang just said, although the momentum of these three people is still a little sluggish, it is not as serious as what was seen at the auction.
It seems that during the auction, the three of them did not try their best, but showed weakness.
This is not difficult to understand.
After all, the opponent the three faced at that time was the fifth-level powerhouse No. 7 in black robe, whose strength was almost comparable to that of Japanese knotweed.
When you can't beat him, it's understandable to be careful.
After all, the three of them are just mercenaries who use people's money to help others eliminate disasters. After getting the money, they have to live to enjoy it, right?
Facing an opponent who knew they were outmatched, yet not running away was enough to prove the professionalism of these mercenaries.
While Lei Xiao was thinking to himself.
On the other side, after hearing what Lei Xiao had just said, Old Walter gently held his long gray beard and continued to maintain a rather enthusiastic smile: "Where is it? It is a great honor for us old guys to be summoned by Her Royal Highness the Princess.
ah!"
Next, after Lei Xiao and the three old mercenary magicians exchanged pleasantries for a while, the two kingdom generals and subordinates were introduced to each other one by one.
Needless to say, Bert and Jubai, the two well-known generals of the kingdom, and all the subordinates under his command were replaced by strong men from foreign countries, until Lei Xiao called out the knotweed that had been hidden in the corner.
"Isn't this powerful man the fifth-level powerful man who appeared at the auction at that time?!"
Seeing the burly figure of Knotweed, a look of astonishment suddenly appeared on Old Wall's old face.
You know, it was precisely because of the appearance of this powerful man that the mercenaries completely escaped from the clutches of the fifth-level black-robed man!
For a moment, not only the leader, Old Walter, but also the other strong men of the Dragon Teeth Mercenary Group could not help but show expressions of disbelief and awe.
"...Your Excellency, this powerful man, why do you appear here?"
After being stunned for a long time, Old Walter couldn't help but tentatively asked.
But Huzhang just nodded slightly, and then stood silently behind Lei Xiao.
"Master Walter, I forgot to tell you that at the auction, Your Excellency, the guest, was the distinguished guest who explored the power of the ruins with the Lord of Orr."
I saw Gale taking a step forward and introducing him.
"So that's it. By the way, I remember that this powerful man did say that he was from the royal family..."
Nodding thoughtfully, Old Walter immediately led the mercenaries and saluted Ariel, Lei Xiao and Hu Zhang respectively: "Thank you, Your Highness the Princess, Your Excellency Keqing and Your Excellency Hu Zhang for your life-saving grace!
"
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
In this way, everything will fall into place.
Since the identity of Polygonum Weed is that of a mysterious and powerful man from the Lengyan royal family.
Then, appearing next to Ariel is naturally a reasonable thing.
And the fact that he appears next to Ariel can naturally prove in reverse that Knotweed's status as a powerful member of the Cold Flame Royal Family.
On the other side, while feeling shocked.
Walter's old face couldn't help but have a look of confusion again, and he wrinkled his gray eyebrows slightly.
Before this, he, who was quite well-informed, had already analyzed it.
The reason why the youngest princess of Leng Yan in front of her left the royal capital and went to Kongqing Town as an envoy.
It is most likely to avoid the intensifying power struggle in the royal capital.
Moreover, from the last high-ranking aristocratic employer, I also learned that Princess Ariel had been assassinated by her brother in the royal capital.
Then, the problem arises.
If Princess Ariel was protected by a fifth-level strongman, why did she escape from the royal capital?
In addition, what makes people feel strange is that the two fifth-level powerhouses who are loyal to the royal family have long been known to everyone.
One is a knight who uses knight swords and spears, and the other is a mage with boundless power. When did this terrifying warrior with two-handed giant swords appear again?
"Could it be that... the old king sent him out to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess later?"
In confusion, Old Walter gently stroked his long white beard and couldn't help but fell into deep thought: "This is quite possible. After all, Princess Ariel is the old king's most beloved daughter."
Having just figured out this problem, looking at Lei Xiao who looked calm in front of him, Old Walter looked puzzled again and thought to himself: "Speaking of which, when did there be someone so trusting next to Her Royal Highness the Princess?"
A young guest?"
"But why is this fifth-level strongman standing behind Ke Qing again?"
Thinking of this, old Walter's already wrinkled forehead became even more wrinkled, and he continued to think: "Could it be that the real master of this fifth-level strong man is this guest? How is this possible?"
Puzzled, Old Walter covered up his confusion with a smile and continued to chat with Lei Xiao while secretly pondering it in his heart.
"By the way, Her Royal Highness the Princess' current residence is still in Kongqing Town, and there seems to be rumors circulating in Kongqing Town that there is a fifth-level strongman sitting in charge... From this, the true identity of this guest guest cannot be that
The newly appointed Lord of Kongqing City, right?"
Realizing this, old Walter's slightly cloudy old eyes moved slightly.
A trace of doubt appeared on the old face again: "However, there are also rumors that the new Lord of Kongqing City is an alien lord who is everywhere in the wilderness. From this point of view, a lord who is still in the primitive hunting stage
How could a foreign lord have the allegiance of a fifth-level powerhouse?
No, no, the rumor about a lord from another world becoming the lord of a city is a big joke in itself. So, what is going on with all this? It is simply unbelievable to me."
Looking at the obviously unnatural expression on old Walter's old face, Lei Xiao had already made a guess at what the other person was thinking.
When he first took control of Kongqing Town, the reason why he released so much true and false information was just to have an effect at this time.
Without careful investigation, it is undoubtedly impossible to figure out your true identity.
As long as the identity of the alien lord is not revealed, his territory in the Shadow Forest will naturally be protected to the maximum extent.
After all, apart from the fact that the lords of other worlds can quickly distinguish each other's identity like telepathy.
In this continent filled with thousands of races, these indigenous peoples from another world, who have almost no definition of race, cannot identify the identity of their lords by their appearance.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then changed the subject and said: "Okay, Master Walter, Master Phil, Master Swale, these delicious dishes are about to get cold, let's eat and chat."
"Haha, what Your Excellency Ke Qing said is absolutely true. Let's chat while we eat."
Hearing the sound, Old Walter and the other two great magicians looked at each other first, and then responded with a smile.
At this time, Lei Xiao noticed.
Looking at the delicacies on the many dining tables, a look of expectation appeared on the faces of the strong mercenaries.
It's no wonder, after all, this is a private banquet held at the Fanyin City Merchant Trade Fair. Both in terms of the level of the chef and the selection of ingredients, it is far superior to the specifications of ordinary nobles.
Of course, for Lei Xiao, who has a private team of third-level chefs, this can only be regarded as an average level.
"Your Highness, please come first."
Immediately afterwards, Old Walter bowed slightly and made an invitation gesture, signaling Ariel to enter the dining area in front.
"No need to be too polite, just discuss it if you have anything to do."
Ariel nodded to the old magician, and then took her steps gracefully.
Lei Xiao, on the other hand, gestured to Gale to let the band and dancers prepared in advance enter the stage to add to the fun, while also taking steps.
In a matter of moments, with the beautiful string music and graceful dancing, this luxurious private banquet officially began.
In the venue, in addition to a group of band members in black tuxedos and a group of dancers in red.
Thirteen people from Lei Xiao and his party, plus twelve from Old Walter, were walking back and forth to get food, which was quite lively.
At the beginning, Lei Xiao did not directly discuss employment matters with Walter Sr.
Instead, while eating at will, he held a tall wine glass and watched the dancers at the other end of the hall perform with great interest.
If you look closely, you will see that these graceful dancers are not ordinary people. In terms of strength, they are all at the level of first-level, five-star magic powerhouses.
It can release all kinds of brilliant light balls and dance together, which looks quite novel.
And the members of that band are also very skilled.
Many musical instruments are directly suspended in mid-air, and are driven by magic to play. While ensuring beautiful tone, it can be said to be full of viewing and fun.
This caused the strong mercenaries to let out bursts of cheers from time to time.
At the same time, the most eye-catching person in the venue was naturally the trio of foodies.
Not to mention Chao Yan and Bai Wei who were feasting, Hong Ye, whose posture was slightly more elegant compared to the first two, also unknowingly became the focus of attention.
The reason is because in front of her, a large stack of clean dinner plates has been erected...
Among the people who paid attention, the most surprised person was old Walter himself.
With his strength as a fourth-level and eight-star water magician, he could not see the strength of this strong female at all.
In the end, in order to take care of his own face, the old magician hesitated again and again, but still did not take the initiative to open his mouth and ask Lei Xiao about Hong Ye's specific level.
In this way, after he had almost eaten, Lei Xiao walked up to Old Walter and the other two great magicians with a tall wine glass in his hand.
Then he smiled and said: "Okay, let's talk about business."
