Chapter 784 The Lord and the Moon Palace Saint (Part 2)
"I can hear clearly from this side of the table the little calculations that Your Excellency Keqing has in mind."
Teresa raised her glass gracefully, took a sip of tea, and said calmly: "Judging from the current situation, you and I do have a common enemy, but this does not mean that you and I are allies. Moon Palace has never been without value.
Unless you, the guest, can prove your worth."
"In addition, I hope that Your Excellency Keqing will understand one thing, that is, the threat that Your Excellency Keqing just threatened will never be a consideration in deciding whether to withdraw my troops."
"Since the blank era, our dark elf kingdom has been on the verge of collapse several times under the attack of powerful enemies several times our own, but we have never succumbed. Not only have we survived tenaciously, but we have also made those powerful enemies pay a heavy price.
"
Teresa put down the tea cup in her hand, her starry eyes revealed determination and pride: "Please remember, your Excellency, we dark elves will never succumb to coercion and intimidation. The sharp blades of powerful enemies cannot cut off the strength of our dark elves.
A spine, not to mention a mere threat!"
"Your Excellency Saint, the unyielding quality of your dark elves is indeed admirable, but please don't underestimate my determination."
Lei Xiao looked at Teresa's shining starry eyes, and his tone was equally sonorous and powerful: "From the moment I came to this world alone, there were thorns and monsters in front of me. They were extremely sharp, and they bared their teeth and claws, but they never let me go.
I never stopped moving forward, but eventually everything fell at my feet."
"Whether it is the attack and defense of the mountain fortress or the battle for the eastern region, I have used facts to prove step by step that the only way to end up underestimating and despising me, a lord from another world, is to carve the word "stupid" on your epitaph."
Lei Xiao also took a sip of the black tea that Erza had just handed over, and then said solemnly: "Your Majesty the Saint, in my dictionary, there is only a scorching sun but no sunset. If you really plan to march westward, then what awaits you
, there will be nothing but endless fire and scorching.”
At this point, Lei Xiao changed the subject and said with a smile: "However, since Your Majesty the Saint also thinks that we all have the same enemy, then things will be much simpler."
Lei Xiao clearly understood that Teresa's words just now, apart from expressing her uncompromising stance, also had a very obvious meaning, which was that he needed the information he had on the Black Abyss Brotherhood.
As for the specific information content, it is the face behind the skull mask of the Nightmare Knight.
The Nightmare Knight was defeated by himself, and only he knew what the opponent looked like.
"Presumably Theresa is planning to use this to investigate the true identity of the Nightmare Knight, right?"
"Such a powerful fifth-level senior expert is also a notorious taboo profession. Even if he has been hiding from the world, there will definitely be some clues."
"And once the true identity of the Nightmare Knight is investigated, we may be able to find further clues about the Black Abyss Brotherhood."
"After all, this huge mysterious organization seems to have appeared out of thin air. Its appearance is too strange and incredible."
Lei Xiao put down the teacup in his hand and nodded thoughtfully.
I understand this very well myself.
However, even though he had already secretly distributed the magical portraits of the Nightmare Knight and Man in Black No. 7, he still had not received any clues.
Except for the three words "rebel" in the attribute notes.
"If the other party can really find clues about the identity of the Nightmare Knight, it will be a major breakthrough for me."
"But before sharing information with the other party, it is also very important to show the other party that I will never admit defeat. Only in this way can I truly communicate with the other party on an equal footing instead of being led by the other party."
"The more important thing is to let the other party postpone the attack. As the Saint of the Moon Palace who protects the Holy Night Royal Family, this is obviously not a difficult thing."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile and said to Teresa: "Your Excellency Saint, it is still what you said just now. Since you are asking for me and want to get relevant information from me, Saint
You must at least show some sincerity, right?"
After a pause, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and added: "Just like what Your Majesty the Saint said, although we are not allies yet, we are not going to be deadlocked. We have to fight to the death, right?"
On the other side of the dining table, Teresa looked at Lei Xiao's expression of wanting to be beaten, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Logically speaking, as one who controls the life and death of the other party, he should have the absolute initiative in this negotiation.
Only by telling the other party everything they know and trying to please yourself can they gain a chance of survival. Even if you want to let the other party go, it should be a gift from you.
Unexpectedly, after being surrounded by the other party, in the end it turned out that I had to show sincerity in order to obtain the necessary information!
"Your Excellency, guest minister, your ability to mess around is truly unrivaled."
After a while, Teresa sighed softly, shook her head helplessly and said: "Forget it, in fact, it was not my original intention to lead the army westward to attack you. As the Saint of the Moon Palace, my main responsibility is to protect the Saint.
The Kingdom of Night, rather than opening up territory for the Kingdom of Holy Night.”
"If I have concerns about delaying the march, neither the royal family nor the powerful noble families can find any reason."
"In short, I will delay the advance to buy you time to destroy the coalition of the two princes. From this moment on, this army of 25 legions will not advance a single step further."
"This is the promise I make to you as the Saint of the Moon Palace and on behalf of Her Majesty the Great Dark Elf Queen."
Teresa nodded solemnly to Lei Xiao and said seriously: "But how long it can be delayed depends on your luck."
After hearing Theresa say this, all the subordinates sitting here showed a look of excitement.
With the lord's verbal exchanges, the fatal crisis from the Holy Night Kingdom was finally temporarily resolved!
This undoubtedly means that the territory can focus all its energy on the two princes' coalition until they completely defeat the other side, and then take advantage of the situation and march straight in!
"Great! Lord Lord!"
I saw Erza's fair face full of excitement, and she couldn't help but said with joy: "I know that Teresa will not really attack us! I know that Theresa still has a subordinate in my heart.
Get this sister!"
"Hey, stop being so sentimental there, this has nothing to do with you."
Looking at her twin sister's overjoyed expression, Theresa snorted lightly.
"Your Excellency Saint, as for the reason for delaying the attack, I have already thought of it for you."
Lei Xiao first touched Erza's head as a reward, then smiled lightly and said: "The war between the Holy Night Kingdom and the Canlan Federation just ended not long ago, right?"
"What if the Canlan Federation is planning to attack the Holy Night Kingdom from behind while Her Majesty the Holy Lady is leading her army to the west? By then, the Holy Night Kingdom will be in the unfavorable position of fighting on two fronts."
Lei Xiao shrugged and continued: "Your Majesty the Saint, you are delaying your attack on me for the sake of the foundation of the Holy Night Kingdom, that's all."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Teresa was stunned, then smiled helplessly and said: "I didn't expect that Your Excellency, Ke Qing, has already made arrangements to this point. You are really well prepared."
"Nothing, I just ordered my subordinates in this area to start spreading the news widely, especially to the business travelers coming and going. Presumably through their mouths, this news will soon spread to the Holy Night Capital, right?"
Lei Xiao leisurely raised the tea cup and said with a smile: "Your Majesty the Holy Lady, now you and I can continue the topic we just talked about."
After a pause, Lei Xiao added: "Since Your Majesty the Holy Lady no longer intends to attack me, you and I can be considered partners on the same front, so I will show some sincerity first."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and three magical portraits that were almost the same as photos appeared on his palm.
These magical portraits were all created by Ye Cang.
Ye Cang used a special secret method to directly copy the face of the target. As for what is depicted above, it is the three powerful men of the mysterious organization that Lei Xiao has killed so far, namely Nightmare Knight, No. 7 and No. 9.
"Erza, give these to your sister."
Lei Xiao handed the portrait to the petite subordinate beside him and said with a faint smile.
The reason why Lei Xiao took out three portraits at once was based on two considerations.
First, it was really to reciprocate the favor and increase Theresa's favor.
Secondly, there is a more important consideration, which is to show Teresa's strength in a subtle way, which makes Teresa afraid.
Although it took her two attempts to finally capture the three Shuras, Theresa didn't know this.
In addition, Teresa knew something about the Nightmare Knight, so she must have fought against the Nightmare Knight before, and she probably also knew that the Nightmare Knight had fifth-level undead warriors.
This means that from Theresa's point of view, she killed four powerful fifth-level opponents in one battle.
And apparently he only has two fifth-level experts, so the result is self-evident.
As expected, after Teresa took over the three magic portraits, her face was filled with surprise and she asked in confusion: "Your Excellency, guest, what is this?"
"These three magic portraits are the owners of these three masks."
Lei Xiao waved his hand, and three Shura masks with pure white surfaces covered with blood lines appeared on the table.
Looking at Teresa's astonished white face, Lei Xiao added at the right time: "There is also a fifth-level undead warrior. If Your Excellency the Saint needs it, I can also provide a portrait."
"I have seen that skeleton before, so I won't bother you, Your Excellency, to provide you with a portrait."
Teresa's starry eyes were still full of surprise and uncertainty, and she slowly took a deep breath.
Unexpectedly, three of the four Brotherhood Shura who attacked the Moon Palace had already died at the hands of the human youth in front of them.
You know, when I joined forces with the other three fifth-level helpers, they were unable to repel the opponent.
While feeling surprised in her heart, Teresa couldn't help but sigh again.
At that time, after the Moon Palace was attacked, I sent someone to notify Her Majesty the Queen as soon as possible, but the news I waited for only allowed me to figure out the origin of the mysterious attacker as soon as possible.
It's no wonder that even with this number of fifth-level powerhouses, Her Majesty the Queen can easily destroy them.
However, because Her Majesty the Queen is unwilling to interfere too much in the affairs of the human race, it is impossible for her to get help from her hometown until the investigation of the matter is completed, unless the Holy Night royal family is about to be destroyed.
There was no other way. In the next period of time, I devoted myself to the task of tracking down the mysterious attacker.
Teresa clearly understood that since the Brotherhood could attack her main palace, it could not rule out the possibility of directly attacking the Holy Night Royal Family. This was something she would never allow.
Once the royal power of Holy Night is overthrown due to this, then I and my family will be severely punished by Her Majesty the Queen, or even die.
However, even though as the Saint of the Moon Temple, she mobilized all resources to investigate the forces behind these mysterious attackers, except for the name of the Black Abyss Brotherhood, she did not get any substantial results at all.
Because of this, after seeing the confrontation between Princess Keqing and the Nightmare Knight, she took the initiative to ask the other party for information.
After all, only the princess guest who defeated the Nightmare Knight can know the true appearance behind the Nightmare Knight's mask, and only by starting from the true appearance can we find new clues about the Brotherhood.
In other words, the human youth in front of him is his only hope at the moment.
"Originally, my goal was just one portrait, but I didn't expect to get three of them at once. It seems that this guy's strength is not as simple as it seems on the surface..."
Just when Theresa's long eyelashes flickered, she was surprised in her heart.
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Your Majesty the Saint, I have sent people to carefully investigate the identities of these three people, but nothing was gained. Are you confident that you can find clues from the portraits?"
"Your Excellency, you don't know. Our Moon Palace has a special information network that has been operating for thousands of years. The collection of information about the powerful human race is an extremely important part."
Theresa put away the magic portraits and said with a smile: "So, if nothing else happens, with these three portraits, we should soon be able to find out the true identities of these powerful men of the Brotherhood."
"So that's it."
After hearing Teresa's confident answer, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
The information network that has been in operation for thousands of years can be traced back to the long-lost Loren Kingdom. This is four hundred years before Wang Xi established the Cold Flame Kingdom. Maybe some new clues can be found.
"With this powerful helper in tracking down the mysterious organization, I can devote myself wholeheartedly to conquering cities and territories."
"However, Teresa must be further aware of the threat of the Black Abyss Brotherhood and speed up its work efficiency."
Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao smiled and said, "If there is any progress, I hope that the Holy Lady will inform you as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, Your Excellency Ke Qing, since we still have the common enemy the Black Abyss Brotherhood, the cooperation between you and me will not stop."
Teresa nodded without hesitation, and then said: "If Your Excellency, Guest, has any new discoveries, I hope that you will not hesitate to enlighten me."
"That's natural."
Lei Xiao looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and frowned again: "Your Majesty the Holy Lady, you must have noticed something already, right? Since the opponent is so fully prepared, he gathered four fifth-level powerhouses to attack
You don’t know what this means when you lose your main palace, do you?”
"I understand your Excellency Ke Qing's reminder very well."
Teresa's eyebrows were almost knitted together, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Someone at the top of the Holy Night Kingdom must have secretly joined the Black Abyss Brotherhood and made suggestions for them. This is why the other party easily entered our headquarters.
There is trouble inside the palace, and if I find out, I will cut him into pieces."
"But what if the person joining is a member of the royal family?"
Lei Xiao held his chin and smiled lightly, and continued to ask: "What will you do?"
