Chapter 783 The Lord and the Moon Palace Saint (Part 2)
Looking at Teresa's surprised face as she slapped the table, Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile and did not respond in a hurry. Instead, he raised his hand to signal Erza to pour a cup of hot tea for her.
And Teresa also realized that she was a little out of sorts, and calmly sat back on the chair.
"Your Majesty the Holy Lady, your words of "playing dirty tricks" seem to be a bit excessive, right?"
Seeing Theresa's excitement calmed down slightly, Lei Xiao responded calmly: "Currently, my territory is in ruins and waiting for redevelopment, but you aggressively led your troops to take advantage of the situation, trying to reignite the fire and war.
In this land riddled with holes, doesn’t it count as someone playing dirty tricks?”
"As the saying goes, the winner is king. When the Kingdom of Holy Night was weak, the Kingdom of Cold Flame also added insult to injury."
Teresa's delicate and white face was filled with calmness again, and she raised her eyebrows and said: "Facing a scarred and ferocious demonic beast, giving the final blow is just the mercy of our Holy Night Kingdom."
"She is worthy of being the Saint of the Moon Palace who controls half of the Holy Night Kingdom. Her ability to argue with strong arguments is truly admirable."
Lei Xiao's expression was still calm, and he smiled and said: "If that's the case, then why do you label my method of coping as 'dirty'?"
"Your Excellency, this is the end of the word games."
Teresa snorted softly and said coldly: "Do you really intend to cause an all-out war between the human nations and my dark elf kingdom?"
"Your Majesty the Saint, you have already put a sharp sword on my neck, do you still expect me to swallow this thousand-year secret forever?"
Lei Xiao shrugged, looking indifferent.
Hearing what Lei Xiao and Teresa said, Ariel, who had been a little confused at first, finally came to her senses with twinkling stars in her eyes.
It turns out that the lord's response was to reveal to the public that the Dark Elf Queen has been secretly protecting the Holy Night Kingdom for thousands of years.
As a member of the Cold Flame royal family, Ariel clearly understands.
Although the human race countries have been fighting for years and have deep grievances with each other, they are both human races and have one thing in common, that is, they attach great importance to their own blood. This is the pride of the human race and a necessary means to consolidate power.
Not to mention the royal family at the top of the power pyramid, it is almost impossible for the aristocrats further down to allow foreign races to occupy a place.
This directly led to the fact that the half-elf tribe that followed His Majesty the Ancestor Hero King on his expeditions to the north and south was eventually deprived of their titles under pressure from both inside and outside the kingdom, until they were completely expelled from the kingdom.
All in all, it is the consensus of all human nations that other races will never be allowed to enter the core ruling class, and it is also an untouchable bottom line.
The Holy Night royal family, which has always been under the protection of the Moon Palace, is undoubtedly completely contrary to this point.
In this way, things become very clear.
Once the lord makes it known to the public that the Dark Elf Queen is secretly helping the Holy Night royal family.
Then, the Kingdom of Holy Night, which breaks the rules, will immediately become the target of public criticism from all the human nations. It will be attacked by a group of people, and its destruction will be very close.
But because of the promise made by the Dark Elf Queen, the Dark Elf Kingdom will naturally not sit idly by. This will undoubtedly ignite an all-out war between the Dark Elf Kingdom and the human nations.
No matter how powerful the Dark Elf Kingdom is, it can never be an opponent of the entire human race. After all, the huge base of the human race is far beyond the reach of any foreign race. There is no doubt about this.
"As expected of the lord, this undoubtedly hit the opponent's vital point directly."
Ariel was excited in her heart and cast a look of admiration at Lei Xiao beside her.
However, Theresa's face, directly opposite the dining table, became increasingly gloomy.
As the Saint of the Moon Temple chosen by Her Majesty the Queen, Teresa clearly understands.
His first priority, in addition to maintaining the authority of the Holy Night royal family, is to protect the agreement between Her Majesty the Queen and the first monarch of Holy Night, even at the cost of his life.
Once this real secret is leaked, regardless of the final direction of the war, the priest clan that I belong to will probably be the first unlucky person to be accused by Her Majesty the Queen!
Thinking of this, Teresa slowly took a deep breath and said coldly to Lei Xiao: "Your Excellency, guest, the only consequence of doing this is to completely trigger a war between the dark elves and the human race.
Life is in ruins, can you bear this responsibility?"
"Your Majesty the Saint is joking."
Lei Xiao raised the goblet, took a leisurely sip of champagne, and responded: "Remember, it was your Holy Night Kingdom who first attempted to introduce the flames of war into my territory, causing my subjects to fall into a whirlpool of blood and fire.
The land is burning and wailing, I just repay you twice as much."
"I won't care about the flood after I die."
Lei Xiao put down the goblet in his hand, and his words suddenly became sonorous and powerful: "Since your Holy Night Kingdom intends to destroy me, then I will definitely drag you into the water, and of course, your hometown, the Dark Elf Kingdom!"
Looking into Lei Xiao's sharp eyes, Teresa frowned and was silent for a while, then revealed a helpless smile and said: "Your Excellency, Ke Qing, is indeed not an ordinary person. It seems that I have underestimated your ability.
"
"Your Majesty the Saint is so complimentary."
Lei Xiao's face also became gentle, and he smiled back and said: "The trapped beast is still fighting, not to mention that as the princess's guest, I also shoulder the important task of assisting the princess to ascend the throne, and I have to walk on thin ice.
, trembling with fear."
"It is indeed not unreasonable for Princess Ariel to trust you so much."
Teresa said this leisurely, then changed the topic: "Now that I know your Excellency Keqing's determination, it's time for you and me to move on to the next topic."
"Next topic?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked knowingly: "Does the Holy Lady have other things you need to ask me about?"
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao secretly jumped for joy in his heart.
This undoubtedly means that the other party is finally going to start talking about the things that need to be asked about him.
And this incident is very likely to be the key breakthrough to completely solve the crisis of March on Holy Night.
As for the threat just now, it was just to show the other party's firm attitude.
If things can turn around, I will naturally not come to the point where I will be deadlocked with the other party.
"What a person who asked knowingly and deliberately used the word "ask for advice"."
Teresa snorted coldly and said calmly: "Don't think I don't know. After your otherworld lords' mansions are upgraded to level 4, you will unlock a magical function similar to magic communication. Erza and I said
If so, you already know everything about it, right?"
"It seems that I will also be impressed by Your Majesty the Saint. As far as I know, no one has ever understood us alien lords to this extent."
Lei Xiao still had that puzzling expression, while shaking the goblet in his hand, he continued: "Your Majesty, the Holy Lady, has something to do, but it's okay to say it. Naturally, I will tell you everything I know."
"Your Excellency, Guest Minister, you must be familiar with this thing, right?"
Teresa didn't make any more detours, but waved her hand casually, and a pure white flat object appeared on the dining table.
After seeing the object clearly, everyone at the table was stunned, including Chao Yan, whose lips were shiny from eating, and they immediately put down the knife and fork in their hands.
What appeared in front of everyone was a pure white mask of a mysterious organization!
Under the leadership of the Nightmare Knight, the territory was almost completely destroyed in the hands of the mysterious organization. Seeing this sudden mask, the subordinates naturally became alert.
Lei Xiao looked at the pure white mask and nodded thoughtfully.
Although you can't see the number on the mask from your angle, judging from the style of the mask, this is not a Shura-level mask with red stripes, but just an ordinary mask of a mysterious organization.
Lei Xiao waved his hand gently, signaling to his subordinates that there was no need to be nervous, and then raised his eyebrows and asked: "Your Excellency, what do you want to say?"
"In the battle for the eastern region of the Lengyan Kingdom that ended not long ago, Your Excellency Keqing overpowered all the heroes and finally won the war. At the same time, he defeated the Nightmare Knight, the commander of the second prince Lengyan faction, and then lifted Kongqing Town from the realm of death.
and was saved.”
At this point, Teresa's starry eyes became more solemn, and she continued: "As far as I know, the Nightmare Knight is a dark organization wearing this kind of mask, a core member of the Black Abyss Brotherhood.
One of them is called the Fourth Shura!"
After hearing Theresa's words, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a flash of surprise in his dark eyes, and his brain began to work rapidly.
Although Theresa's words were brief, they contained an extremely important key message.
That is the name of the mysterious organization. It turns out to be called the Black Abyss Brotherhood!
You know, this is important information that you have been thinking about for a long time!
"I have dealt with the mysterious organization many times, and I am considered an old rival. I still haven't figured out the other party's name. How did Teresa know about it?"
Astonished, Lei Xiao stared straight into Teresa's starry eyes, trying to find a clue from it while continuing to think in his heart.
"In addition, although the Nightmare Knight did not wear a white mask, I did find a Shura mask with 00004 printed on it in his storage ring, which is exactly what Theresa said."
Just when Lei Xiao was secretly surprised, a smile appeared on Theresa's fair face, and she continued: "Why, Your Excellency, did I tell you some information that you don't know?"
"Let's get back to the point."
Lei Xiao gently put down the goblet in his hand and changed the topic: "I did kill the Nightmare Knight. Although that guy caused me some trouble, it was just a useless struggle."
"Your Excellency, guest, have you clearly seen the true face of the Nightmare Knight?"
There was a hint of uncontrollable excitement in Theresa's starry eyes. She leaned forward slightly and asked quickly.
"That's natural."
Keenly aware of the urgency shown by the other party, Lei Xiao's face showed no trace of emotion, and he asked lightly: "Your Majesty the Holy Lady, why do you ask these questions?"
"Your Excellency, Guest Minister, has killed the Nightmare Knight, which means that he has become enemies with the Black Abyss Brotherhood. Then I have nothing to hide."
Teresa frowned and thought for a moment, then raised her head and said bluntly: "To be honest with you, Your Excellency, not long ago these guys secretly attacked the main hall of the Moon Palace in an attempt to take away a certain treasure from my Moon Palace, which made me
The strong men under my command suffered heavy losses, but fortunately I found help in time, so those hateful guys didn't succeed."
"oh?"
Looking at Teresa's solemn face, Lei Xiao's always calm face finally showed a trace of waves, and his eyes widened involuntarily.
Lei Xiao never thought that the mysterious organization... no, the Black Abyss Brotherhood was actually related to the Moon Palace, and they were hostile to each other.
"As the saying goes, my enemy's enemy is my friend. Taking advantage of this, maybe I can really make Theresa postpone her attack."
"The most important thing is that from Theresa, I can get more information about the Black Abyss Brotherhood! This is what I want!"
While he was excited in his heart, Lei Xiao's thoughts were still racing rapidly.
"By the way, during the mirage at the ruins of the ancient battlefield, I once heard the man in black robe No. 7 mention the great mission of the Holy Night King."
"At the entrance to the abandoned mine outside Hearth Castle, the two strong men of the Brotherhood who guarded the gate also mentioned the great mission of Holy Night, saying that at least four Shura were dispatched... It seems that they were referring to
It is undoubtedly an attack on the Moon Palace."
"Except for a place like the Moon Palace that is comparable to the inner courtyard of the palace, there is no other place in the Holy Night Kingdom that can attract four fifth-level powerhouses to attack at the same time."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, but did not immediately exchange information with the other party, but asked in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the Saint, how do I know how much of what you just said is true and how false?"
"If you are a member of the Black Abyss Brotherhood and come to test how much I know about your organization, wouldn't I just take the bait?"
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao's sharp eyes stared into Teresa's starry eyes again.
"Your Excellency, Guest, your concerns are not unreasonable, but please, Your Excellency, please don't forget that I am a dark elf loyal to Her Majesty the Great Queen, not a human race. If dark elves want to run rampant in the human race, they should not be sneaky."
Teresa raised her eyebrows, and couldn't help but feel a little more proud in her words, and continued: "And this sneaky human organization will not allow me, a dark elf, to get involved, so it goes without saying.
."
"Lord, Theresa did not lie. As Theresa's twin sister, my subordinates can still detect this."
I saw Erza standing up from her seat, stroking her chest to report the report to Lei Xiao.
"I understand, so the Holy Lady wants to obtain information about the Brotherhood from me?"
After getting rid of the worries in his heart, a meaningful smile appeared on Lei Xiao's face. He smiled at Theresa who was directly opposite him and said: "Since you want something from me, then Your Excellency the Holy Lady must at least
