Under the quiet and hazy moonlit night, the crisp sound of brocade patterns had just fallen.
A tall figure slowly appeared next to Xiaoya.
Needless to say, it is Lei Xiao.
"You are the guest of the fifth princess?"
Seeing Lei Xiao appear, Jin Wen's eyebrows furrowed and he asked in a deep voice.
However, just like when he first met Xiaoya, with Jin Wen's mind, although he remained calm on the surface, there was already another wave of waves in his heart.
You must know that as Leng Yan's leading illusion master, the invisibility cloak that can blind the eyes of ordinary fourth-level experts is just like child's play to Jin Wen and has no effect at all.
"In other words, looking at the entire Leng Yan, there is almost no second strong person who can be perfectly invisible in front of me."
"But even so, before this young man who was so close took the initiative to show off his figure, I didn't even notice at all..."
Thinking of this, Jin Wen frowned even more while looking Lei Xiao up and down.
"Although this young man's strength has reached an extremely impressive fourth-level level, it is absolutely impossible for him to completely hide his aura in front of me, a fourth-level eight-star person, but he still does it.
arrive."
"It is not difficult to see from this that he must have one or several fifth-level items that surpass the fourth level. Only then can he achieve the perfect disguise of being both invisible and aura-concealed."
"The royal family, which has lasted for more than six hundred years, possesses only a handful of fifth-level items. I never expected that they would appear on this young man's body."
Just when Jin Wen thought of this in shock.
Lei Xiao, who was directly opposite him, had a faint smile on his face and responded: "Yes, I am the princess's guest."
As for why Lei Xiao was able to become perfectly invisible in front of Jin Wen, it was because of the invisibility cloak that was blessed by Shen Banxia.
The fifth-level concealment technique attached to the cloak can both make you invisible and conceal your aura. This effect cannot even be detected by a fifth-level expert, so it can naturally hide the fourth-level brocade pattern.
After all, according to Xiaoya, although her teacher can easily detect the fourth-level invisibility technique that ordinary fourth-level experts cannot detect, the higher-level fifth level is obviously far beyond the opponent's perception range.
In addition, Lei Xiao is accompanied by Tiger Stick wearing a fifth-level cloak of silence, so there is no need to worry about the opponent suddenly attacking.
As for the other main powerhouses, they have also been hidden in nearby areas under the red night energy barrier.
Nanxing, Nanyue, who are good at hiding, and Lian, who is a battle doll of the god and cannot be sensed at all, are scattered in the outer periphery, always vigilant for possible opponents.
"Are you so young?"
After receiving Lei Xiao's affirmative answer, Jin Wen's fair face finally revealed a hint of surprise.
The man who was able to destroy the White Knight approaching two legions with just a snap of his fingers was actually a young man with a gentle smile and such great strength.
This was obviously beyond Jin Wen's expectation.
"Wait a minute! Isn't this guy an alien lord? How could he reach the height of a fourth-level powerhouse in such a short period of time?"
Thinking of this, the surprise on Jin Wen's face became even more intense.
"Unless this guy has been refining magic potions from the very beginning, it is possible to reach such a state. But even for most powerful nobles, third-level magic potions that permanently enhance their strength,
It has also exceeded the scope of my own abilities."
"And even if you have saved up the millions of golden dragons you need, the third-level permanent strength-enhancing potion itself that has been circulated is extremely rare. If the time is not right, you will still be unable to obtain it. In addition, the recent
In recent years, fewer and fewer rose energy-gathering pills have been circulated in the Holy Night Moon Palace, which has aggravated the situation."
"The third-level magic potion is like this, let alone the even more terrifying fourth-level potion?!"
"Looking at the entire Lengyan, the only one who can produce a fourth-level strong man so quickly is the supreme royal family, right? And as far as I know, the royal family has only a handful of fourth-level permanent strength-enhancing potions stored in it.
Countless..."
"In short, how did this alien lord, who had just arrived, acquire such a sky-high price item that even the great nobles could not easily obtain, and then quickly grow to such a level? It is simply unbelievable."
The more he thought about it, the more unbelievable Jin Wen became. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, and a faint look of awe appeared on his fair face.
Through previous intelligence and rumors, although I had always felt that this princess guest was definitely an unusual person, I never expected that she would actually reach such an unfathomable level.
Facing such a mysterious figure, even as Leng Yan's chief illusionist, he would naturally not hesitate.
"I think I finally know why Xiaoya reached the peak level of the third level in such a short period of time. She has found a big man worthy of lifelong loyalty."
"Thinking about it this way, it seems logical that such a figure can assist Princess Ariel in repelling the invading Holy Night Army and destroying the two legions of the White Knight."
"No, on the other hand, it is a matter of great honor that Princess Ariel can get such help from this young man, right?"
Thinking of this with even more shock, he froze the brocade lines on his eyebrows, took another deep breath of the evening breeze that was still mixed with the smell of blood, and then looked at Lei Xiao and said: "Since you are the princess guest who has become quite famous recently,
I don’t know what you have to do with me?”
"It's very simple. I have a merciless request."
Keenly noticing the subtle emotional fluctuations on Jin Wen's face, Lei Xiao still maintained his indifferent smile and responded: "That's why I hope you won't help me and Ellie when the white knight attacks them.
, nothing more.”
"What? Your Excellency, are you humiliating me?"
Upon hearing this unexpected answer, a flash of anger suddenly surged on Jin Wen's fair cheeks.
Then he said coldly: "Although I admire you very much for helping General Bai defeat the Holy Night Army and avoid a catastrophe, but this request is a bit too whimsical, right?"
After he finished speaking, the anger on Jin Wen's face became more obvious.
Although after the news about the attack and defense of the mountain fortress came out, I had some good feelings and even some expectations for Princess Ariel, who I didn't care about at first, and this princess's guest.
After all, compared to the other three desperate princes, Princess Ariel is just like an angel.
But after all, he is currently standing on the opposite side of the other party. Such a straightforward proposal undoubtedly makes him feel very offended.
Furthermore, since the other party has made this suggestion, he obviously has some scruples about his own illusions. Maybe the other party is not as powerful as he imagined.
"It is indeed a very excessive request. Maybe from your point of view, I made such a move because I was afraid of your ability?"
Lei Xiao slowly put away the smile on his face and said seriously: "On the contrary, since I can appear in front of you in person, it means that I have the ability to kill you easily."
"So, the reason why I told Xiaoya to call you out is not so much out of fear as appreciation."
"Of course, there is another reason, that is, there is another person who also appreciates you very much."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao clapped his hands gently.
Accompanied by the "squeak" sound of the wooden door opening, the gate of the transfer station not far away was opened.
Ariel, wearing a small crown on her head, slowly walked out surrounded by Burt, Orange White, Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Lina, and Hong Ye.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
When he saw Ariel, even though the brocade tattoo was in the eldest prince's camp, he still knelt down on one knee and bowed his head deeply.
After all, Ariel represents the Lengyan royal family itself, and before the throne is assigned, this little princess of Lengyan also has the right to inherit the throne.
"You don't have to be polite, Jin Wenqing. Your illusion skills and disguises are still so superb."
Ariel nodded, smiled gracefully and said: "I hope I didn't make you feel unhappy by calling you out unexpectedly this time."
"Your Highness Princess, you are serious."
Jin Wen stood up, with another look of surprise on his face.
Before Princess Ariel was forced to leave the royal capital, she was still at the peak of the third level. Unexpectedly, it didn't take long to successfully break through to the fourth level.
The answer to why this terrifying progression speed occurs is naturally self-evident.
Jin Wen first looked at Lei Xiao in awe, and then focused his eyes on the other main subordinates.
"Besides this young guest, Princess Ariel herself, Giant Ax General Burt, and Holy Light General Ju Bai, are there three fourth-level powerhouses?"
As his eyes wandered, Jin Wen's gaze finally fell on Hong Ye, who was tall and expressionless.
A bone-chilling chill suddenly rose from Jin Wen's heart for no reason.
"Judging from the vague aura she exudes, it far exceeds that of the fourth-level peak powerhouse... So, is this the rumored fifth-level powerhouse?"
Thinking of this, Jinwen's white throat rolled unconsciously.
"Okay, let's get back to the topic."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and continued: "Master Jinwen, as you can see, Princess Ariel and I do have some small powers, but I want to tell you that this is not all we have.
, I also have some other powers in my hand that you can’t expect.”
What Lei Xiao was referring to was the knotweed that was still hiding in the dark, as well as the other subordinates.
Just in case, Lei Xiao did not expose all the strength of the territory, and there was no need to do so.
Before deciding to meet Jin Wen, Lei Xiao had already thought about it very clearly.
Although Jin Wen's character and rare strength perfectly meet his recruitment requirements.
But this is not entirely necessary. If the other party insists on going against you, you can only kill them on the spot.
As for whether the other party would pretend to obey, Lei Xiao also considered this possibility.
It is almost an open secret that the territory has a fifth-level powerhouse, so even if Jin Wen turns around and tells the white knight about the situation, he will not lose anything.
On the contrary, it gave me a chance to make up my mind to kill the other party.
"I didn't quite understand what I saw in TV dramas before, but now that I think about it, that's probably what it means, right?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.
"According to what Ariel and Xiaoya said, Jinwen's biggest hobby in his life is to explore various ancient ruins. This is the breakthrough for me to win over him."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao changed the topic and said: "Master Jinwen, I know that the eldest prince must have promised you a lot of benefits, but what the eldest prince can give, Ariel and I may be able to do the same."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao described in detail the situation of exploring the area bounded by the petrified winged humans in Shuiyue City.
Of course, key information such as time, location, and people are hidden in this.
"The empty island in the ancient barrier area? The Winged People who were all petrified in the blank era? The Winged People's honeycomb-shaped white tower? The Winged People's Parliament on the top of the tower? The Winged People's barrier core under the tower?"
Listening to Lei Xiao's series of vivid descriptions, a touch of uncontrollable curiosity suddenly appeared on Jin Wen's fair face, and he was already fascinated.
Until Lei Xiao finished speaking, Jin Wen still had a mesmerized look on his face.
He looked like a child listening to a bedtime story, with an expression of anticipation on his face that said, "Please, tell me a little more, tell me a little more."
"Master Jinwen, if you agree not to participate in the attack on me and Ariel this time, when this matter is over, I will personally send you to the ruins to explore freely."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and added another sentence at the right time.
"Sir, you...are you serious?"
Jin Wen, who had already put on the honorific at this time, quickly asked happily.
In fact, there are two main reasons why Jin Wen agreed to join the eldest prince's camp.
First, the royal family allocates funds to establish a relief fund to help those helpless civilians. As the white knight mentioned before, it is only a worldly benefit.
Secondly, you can give priority to exploring all the newly discovered ruins in the Cold Flame Kingdom in the future. This is the most important reason!
And the young man just now described the winged human race boundary area in extremely detail.
There are many details that only a senior relic scholar like myself can fully understand.
Therefore, unless he saw it with his own eyes, it would never be possible to describe it in such detail!
In addition, Jin Wen didn't actually appreciate the eldest prince's behavior. It was just that the world was in chaos and it was easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
"Absolutely true."
Looking at Jin Wen's obviously loose face, Lei Xiao smiled and nodded.
"Dear guest sir, then again, this war will determine the life or death of you and Princess Ariel. Even if I don't take action, are you so sure that you can win?"
Jin Wen's willow eyebrows couldn't help but frown, and then said: "To put it bluntly, if you and Princess Ariel lose, won't you get nothing and offend His Highness the Great Prince?"
