"Twelve years ago, as a court magician, I was fortunate enough to be selected as the magical guardian of the Lion King's Palace because my strength had reached the peak level of the third level and my excellent performance."
At this time, Orr's eyes, covered with wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, were blurred, apparently lost in memories.
"So you were once the magical guardian of the Lion King's Palace?"
Hearing the sound, Ariel nodded thoughtfully. The Lion King's Palace is next to the royal castle.
The job of the magic guardian is to supply magic power to the absolute defensive barrier that envelopes the Lion King's Palace.
If you think about it this way, it is indeed possible that the other party has had a close relationship with you.
On the other side, listening to the conversation between the two, Lei Xiao also looked thoughtful.
The Lion King's Palace is the only miraculous building owned by the Lengyan royal family.
It is said that Wang Xi, who had become the King of Heroes, accidentally found a residual design of a miraculous building in an ancient human ruins.
Overjoyed, Leng Yan gathered the most advanced magical power, and it took thirty years to finally establish it.
Moreover, with the subsequent efforts of many Cold Flame Kings, it has been continuously improved and upgraded to a very high level.
As for the specific function of the Lion King Palace, it is naturally a top secret of the royal family, and even most of the high-ranking nobles do not know it at all.
However, after conquering Ariel, Lei Xiao once asked Ariel this question.
The answer I received was that it is one of the functions of the Lion King Hall.
It is able to generate giant holy lion guardians whose appearance is the same as the place where they slept in Luolong City before. The strength of each one is at the peak level of the fourth level.
As for the specific number, Ariel, the fifth princess of Leng Yan, has seen eight at the same time, but it cannot be ruled out that there are other holy lion guardians.
After all, even if she is allowed to enter the Lion King Palace, Ariel's range of activities is limited to the lobby of the Lion King Palace, and she cannot go to other places to check at will.
But what Ariel is sure of is that as a miraculous building, the Lion King's Palace has more than just the function of being the guardian of the Holy Lion.
As for other functions, Ariel once curiously asked her father, and the answer she received was that they could only be known by walking into the deepest part of the Lion King's Palace.
Other than that, her father refused to say anything.
As for the deepest part of the Lion King's Palace, only the Cold Flame King who wears the Cold Flame Crown and has royal blood can enter it without any hindrance.
"In other words, only the contemporary King Leng Yan can know the other functions of the Lion King Palace. And, judging from such a mysterious situation, there should be one or more rather powerful functions."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and turned his attention to Orr beside him.
"Return to your Royal Highness, that's exactly what it is."
Bowing slightly to Ariel, Al continued to describe: "We, the magical guardians of the Lion King Palace, are strictly prohibited from approaching within 500 meters of the Lion King Palace.
At first, I thought this was just a ban to protect the miraculous building, but unexpectedly, that terrible thing happened later."
After swallowing his saliva, Orr, who still seemed to be frightened by what happened that year, continued: "It was a sunny afternoon. The minister who had just taken up his post was because he had made a big statement at the wine table the day before, saying that he dared to step into the Lion King.
Within 500 meters of the temple.
So, I was encouraged by my colleagues around me to take a step beyond the cordon, and as a result, I faced a complete nightmare."
Taking a deep breath, Al tried his best to calm himself down, and said slowly: "The moment I just crossed the cordon, with a shocking roar, a giant flame with a golden metallic luster all over its body shook its head and tail.
The lion, like a ghost, rushed in front of me at great speed."
At this time, Al's voice, although it sounded relatively calm, could still make people feel an uncontrollable tremor.
Just listen to him continue: "As the earth trembled, there was an extremely powerful sense of oppression and murderous intent, just like Mount Tai pressing on top. It was so overwhelming that I couldn't breathe and instantly collapsed on the ground. Next, the giant lion swung its tail first.
, he directly photographed several of his colleagues around him tens of meters away.
Immediately afterwards, the lion's paw, which was at least the size of a carriage, was raised above the minister's head, and he was about to take a picture..."
Bowing slightly to Ariel again, Al continued: "The feeling of being surrounded by cold murderous aura is still fresh in my memory. But just as my frustrated minister was waiting for death to come, he appeared in
In front of me is a slender figure wearing a pink princess dress with slightly curly hair."
Looking at Ariel with gratitude, Al continued to bow and said: "As a result, because of the appearance of Her Royal Highness, the giant lion stopped attacking, and its murderous intent stopped abruptly. Instead, it turned towards the princess.
His Highness waved his huge tail..."
Upon hearing this, a thoughtful look suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
Needless to say, the 500-meter distance around the Lion King Palace is obviously the automatic warning range of the Holy Lion Guardian.
For Orr who crosses the line, he will naturally take the initiative to attack.
As for why the little Ariel appeared to stop the Holy Lion's attack, the answer couldn't be simpler.
After all, this Lion King Palace was built by Wang Xi back then, so there must have been a special rule.
That is the Holy Lion Guardian, and will not attack members of the Cold Flame Royal Family who share the same blood as him.
"If you think about it this way, the miracle buildings in the territory and the Earth Guardian and Sky Guardian generated by the Guardian Defense Agency obviously have the same mechanism."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao thought to himself: "The reason why the Earth Guardian and the Sky Guardian will not take the initiative to attack the subordinates in the territory when they are on automatic alert is probably because the subordinates signed a master-servant contract with me.
.”
"I seem to have some impression."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, on the other side, Dai Mei frowned and thought for a moment, Ariel nodded in thought, and suddenly said: "So, you are the culprit who attracted the Holy Lion back then!
"
At this moment, looking at the grateful Al in front of her, Ariel could not help but frown slightly again, and the almost forgotten memories began to resurface in her mind.
At that time, she had just turned ten years old and happened to pass by this place. Naturally, she didn't just want to save Al.
But he mainly wanted to play with the Holy Lion, and then he appeared in front of Orr.
After all, as a member of the royal family, she would not be attacked by the holy lion, and even if she entered the 500-meter warning range, it would not cause any abnormalities.
The most important thing is that Ariel at that time was extremely naughty and willful, and she often did things to tease maids and guards.
So after the incident spread, everyone, including her father, unanimously concluded that it was Ariel who asked Al to attract the Holy Lion.
In the end, the matter came to an end with Ariel going without dessert for a month.
At the same time, this also made the little Ariel, who has always been pampered, experience for the first time what it means to be unable to argue and take the blame...
Because her little heart was hit hard inexplicably, Ariel gradually ignored this unpleasant memory and was unwilling to think of it again.
Until she met Orr again today.
Thinking of this, Ariel's mouth couldn't help but twitch, and she wished she could teach this hateful guy a lesson right away.
However, as her starry eyes flickered, Ariel had another thought. It just so happened that the lord wanted to subdue this guy. Maybe she was unintentional at the time, and she might actually be able to make Liu Chengyin!
"I remember, in order to protect you from punishment, in addition to receiving a fat beating, I didn't have any dessert for a whole... no, two months!"
The willow eyebrows were raised as she stared at the groveling Orr in front of her. Ariel crossed her arms and said, "City Lord Orr, otherwise, even if you are lucky enough to survive under the claws of the Holy Lion, I am afraid you will be dragged to the royal gallows.
!”
"What Her Royal Highness the Princess said is absolutely true. I would like to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess for her life-saving grace!"
On the other side, Al still looked grateful and responded quickly.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately understood what Ariel was thinking.
Since Ariel had unintentionally saved Al's life back then, the situation would undoubtedly be much simpler than before.
"Al, this princess wants to ask you, as the lord of a city, you will not do anything to repay kindness with hatred, right?"
Ariel's expression turned serious and she asked in a deep voice.
"Going back to Your Highness Princess, the first sentence of your family's motto is that you must repay kindness. How could you have such an idea?"
Hearing the sound, Al immediately understood what Ariel was referring to, and quickly waved his hand and said: "Furthermore, my ancestor is also a general under the King of Heroes, and he has received great favor from His Majesty the King of Heroes...
Therefore, under any circumstances, I will never have any evil thoughts towards Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
After a pause, Orr added: "To be honest with you, Your Highness, the princess, not long ago, the envoys of the three princes came to me, preparing to win over you, but they were all rejected by me, because I
No matter what, I don’t want to stand on the opposite side of Her Royal Highness the Princess!”
"Oh? Are you serious about this?"
Ariel raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Al, and said condescendingly.
"It is absolutely true that in order to prevent the envoys of the three princes from going back to report, I was in an extremely passive position. After these envoys left Fanyin City, they were secretly kidnapped by my henchmen and imprisoned in the city lord's palace.
In the underground prison!"
Gritting his teeth, Orr simply said everything without any reservations.
At this time, although Orr still didn't know what the relationship between Lei Xiao and Ariel was.
However, since Ariel did not avoid suspicion, it undoubtedly shows that the two have a deep friendship.
The most important thing is that Al has long known that Ariel, the fifth princess of Lengyan, is currently staying in Kongqing Town.
In addition, Lin, who was the president of the Phytolacca Trade Fair in Kongqing Town, had appeared at the auction before.
Therefore, Al had already vaguely guessed it in his heart.
Lei Xiao's true identity is most likely the mysterious new city lord of Kongqing Town.
The current situation undoubtedly means that Lei Xiao and Ariel are on the same front, and this is enough for Al to tell everything.
After all, there are two powerful fifth-level men standing next to him.
All in all, in this world that may be in chaos at any time, finding a real backer is what Orr needs most urgently at the moment.
Moreover, he still has a big vengeance against a mysterious organization that has yet to be avenged.
"Then take us to see it."
On the other side, Ariel did not hesitate, and then nodded in approval at Lei Xiao's signal.
"I understand, please go this way."
Nodding to Lei Xiao and Ariel, Al said without hesitation.
Just like that, after Orr's guidance.
In addition to leaving Kelly behind, Lei Xiao and the others who left the Phytolacca Trade Fair jumped on board one after another.
Under the hazy moonlight and magical neon lights, they headed towards the city lord's mansion in the center of Fanyin City.
At this time, feeling the strong bumps on the horse's back, Lei Xiao lowered his body, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked thoughtful.
I didn't expect that there is such an unexpected connection between Ariel and Al.
If things go well, it seems that Orr will be able to be taken under his wing soon.
And once Orr is successfully conquered, it naturally means that he who controls Fanyin City will also control more than half of the economic lifeline of the eastern region of Lengyan!
This point will undoubtedly have an extremely important role in promoting the subsequent layout of taking the entire eastern region of Leng Yan into the bag!
In the midst of the lightning speed, Lei Xiao secretly jumped for joy while feeling the howling night wind.
Under the moonlit night, on the spacious streets of Fanyin City, it didn't take long for a large, magnificent-looking castle to come into Lei Xiao's sight.
"Okay, you all go down."
When he arrived in front of the castle gate, Orr dismounted and ordered the silver-armored cavalry guarding him to go back to camp.
The archaeologist Old Calvin on the side was in a state of confusion the whole time.
With only the third level of peak strength, he naturally couldn't see the clues of Lei Xiao and others' illusions and disguises. He just wondered in his heart, where did the city lord get to know such a group of mysterious friends?
"Master Calvin, you have had a hard time doing archaeological work today, so you should go to bed early."
After waving his hand towards the old magician, Al said to Lei Xiao, Ariel and others who had also dismounted: "Everyone, please come with me."
Next, there was the sound of chains rubbing as the metal gate of the castle rose.
Lei Xiao and his party went straight into the heavily guarded gate of Fanyin City Lord's Mansion.
From the brightly lit castle hall on the right, go all the way forward.
After going around several turns in the long, quaint corridor.
The group of people walked into a storage room that looked like a warehouse, and immediately after Olmo finished chanting the spell, he activated the magic mechanism.
Along with a rumbling sound, a staircase leading underground appeared in front of Lei Xiao and others.
