Hearing Lei Xiao directly ask the most pointed question, Theresa frowned, subconsciously clenched the tea cup in her hand, and then reluctantly let go.
This is what worries me the most.
Right now, the young new King Shengye has just ascended the throne, and it is a time of turmoil between the government and the public.
And those princes of Shengye, who also have the right to inherit the throne, although they have not made an attack for the time being, are still secretly preparing to make a move.
Behind these royal family members, there is no lack of support from powerful noble families. If a certain prince joins the brotherhood, the situation will become extremely bad.
It is conceivable that once the prince who has the support of the Black Abyss Brotherhood finally ascends to the throne and becomes a puppet controlled by the Brotherhood, the Moon Palace will undoubtedly become the first target to be eliminated.
At that time, the tower of the Holy Night King's Power will overturn. As the Saint of the Moon Palace, not only will her life be in danger, but Her Majesty the Queen, whose promise has failed, will also be furious because of her incompetence, and even involve her parents and family... Then
He himself has become a complete target of public criticism.
Apart from the quarrels that Your Excellency Ke Qing just had, this is also one of the important reference factors for my choice to delay the westward advance.
No matter how weak the opponent is and how rare the opportunity is, there is a risk that his base camp will be stolen. How can he still lead the expedition with peace of mind?
"I have to say that the pointed questions raised by this guy are really hard to answer for a while."
Thinking of this in her mind, Theresa's long pointed ears drooped and she couldn't help but sigh.
The burden of the Saint of the Moon Palace is too heavy. Now I fully understand why Erza chose to escape from the Moon Palace.
In the end, only the Saint of the Moon Palace can bear the secret of the Saint of the Moon Palace.
While understanding Erza, Teresa's determined heart suddenly felt an unexpected sense of powerlessness.
As a dark elf who respects nature, she has been up and down in the power field of the Holy Night Kingdom for 30 years, learning the ways of the human race and tempering her mind many times until she became the new Saint of the Moon Palace.
However, despite his best efforts, what he got in the end was that he was still unaccompanied and even scared in this land that did not belong to him.
After all, I am just an ordinary dark elf.
In the dead of night, I will let go of the strength and unyieldingness of the Saint of the Moon Palace, and miss the light of the white night in the underground kingdom, the dark elf river full of crystal ores of various colors, and even the time when I was inseparable from my sister.
But as the Saint of the Moon Palace who fulfills the Queen's promise, even if she is alone, she can only move forward, even if there is endless night ahead.
Just when Theresa had mixed feelings in her heart, she didn't know how to reply.
Looking at Teresa's lowered eyebrows, Lei Xiao, who had already guessed the other party's thoughts, still maintained a faint smile and added: "Your Excellency Saint, I can completely understand you.
Difficulties."
"Because when I first came, I was alone, facing this unknown and mysterious world alone. I will remember that feeling of loneliness and confusion for the rest of my life."
"For me, the Black Abyss Brotherhood is also a mortal enemy. After all, it has now openly supported the second prince. It not only enveloped my city with darkness and brought death to my soldiers, but also almost caused me to die in that evil place.
In the realm of death.”
Lei Xiao's expression became a little solemn, and he continued: "As long as I, the princess and your guest, are still here, you will never move forward alone."
Having said this, Lei Xiao looked at Erza again and said with a smile: "Of course, your sister is always here. She once said to me that even if you always hate and resent her, she is still
Your sister."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Teresa, who was extremely complicated in her heart, was silent for a while, and then she nodded heavily and said: "Your Excellency Ke Qing's words are enough to prove that retreating is the most correct choice for me!"
After a pause, Teresa's starry eyes flickered, and then she said sincerely: "I hope that your Excellency, Ke Qing, can win the battle and defeat the coalition of the two cold flame princes!"
"Thank you for your encouragement, Your Majesty the Holy Lady. Although my opponent is extremely powerful, I will do my best."
Lei Xiao nodded slowly, his tone solemn and firm.
Lei Xiao clearly understood that at this point, he had truly temporarily calmed down the threat from the Holy Night Kingdom.
With Teresa as the Saint of the Moon Temple mediating in the middle, no matter how impatient the main war factions of Holy Night are, they may not be able to pose a threat to themselves in the short term.
At the same time, it further intensified Teresa's sense of urgency, making her wholeheartedly involved in investigating the Brotherhood.
Then, taking this opportunity, Lei Xiao also shared the best information he knew about the Brotherhood with Teresa.
Although it did not mention the specific encounters with the Black Abyss Brotherhood, it included the "relics of the old contract" mentioned by the Nightmare Knight, and the so-called "door".
"So, is the purpose of this mysterious organization, the Black Abyss Brotherhood, to seize these "old contract relics" scattered everywhere as keys, and then open those "doors" and obtain the so-called "truth"?"
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Teresa's eyebrows condensed and she said thoughtfully: "But what do those "doors" refer to? What does "truth" refer to?"
"These are unknown for now."
Lei Xiao first took a sip of tea, then shrugged and said: "But from the ruthless members recruited by the Black Abyss Brotherhood and their unscrupulous despicable actions, it is certain that they must be brewing an ulterior conspiracy.
."
"Your Excellency, guest minister, has the same idea as mine."
Teresa gently rubbed her white chin and nodded: "In this way, it can explain why the other party desperately tried to snatch the treasure of my Moon Palace. It is indeed an item from the blank era."
"However, the conspiracy of the Black Abyss Brotherhood is probably more than that."
Lei Xiao put down the tea cup in his hand and said with bright eyes: "I believe Her Highness the Saint has noticed it, right?"
"They still covet the throne."
Theresa's starry eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger, and she continued: "These guys are simply audacious."
"Yes, whether it is judging from the situation in the Cold Flame Kingdom or the Holy Night Kingdom, these guys have penetrated into the core power class and are trying to send puppets to control the king's power."
Lei Xiao's face was calm, but his tone was full of solemnity: "I even suspect that the other party has infiltrated not only Lengyan and Shengye Kingdoms, but also the high-level officials of the human nations."
"I completely agree with your Excellency Ke Qing."
Teresa nodded thoughtfully and echoed: "The Canlan Federation, the Pars Empire, the southern grassland kingdom...it seems that there is turmoil in both the government and the public."
"This also means that there is not much time left for us."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, smiled faintly at Teresa and said, "Your Excellency, you and I can encourage each other."
"Let's encourage you, Your Excellency."
Teresa stood up at the same time, smiled back and said, "I have indeed benefited a lot from this meeting with Your Excellency."
"To each other, it is also an honor for me to meet Her Majesty the Saint."
After chatting with the other party for a few words, Lei Xiao seemed to have remembered something, and said: "By the way, Your Majesty the Holy Lady, Viscount Carla and I have some personal relationships. If you have any news in the future, just tell her and she will act as a liaison person. "
"It seems that I need to keep this very capable supply officer with me at all times."
Teresa immediately understood what Lei Xiao meant, raised her eyebrows and said, "Your Excellency, I will take my leave now and look forward to meeting you again."
"The future is promising, and you and I will meet again eventually."
Lei Xiao smiled and nodded, then nodded to the dark elf illusion master beside him and said, "Erza, give this to your little sister."
After Erza jumped up and left with the arrogant Teresa, Lei Xiao and his subordinates came to another room not far away, where Jiang Li and Kara were.
"Ye Cang, wake her up, we will have a new colleague soon."
Lei Xiao looked at the heavily armored female Knight of Holy Night and nodded to the muscular priest.
Not long after, when Kara woke up with confused starry eyes, Lei Xiao briefly explained his identity as an alien lord, his past after leaving the border battlefield, and his situation with Teresa.
"Sir, it turns out that you are the recently famous guest of Princess Leng Yan?"
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Kara, known as the "Heavy-loaded Rose", opened her mouth in surprise.
Even though she was in the Kingdom of Holy Night, the name of Princess Keqing still struck a chord in her ears!
The most important thing is that this young man who saved his life actually extended an olive branch to him and gave him the important task of contacting the Saint of the Moon Palace!
"The lord has given life-saving and noble favors to his subordinates, and he values his subordinates so much. How can he fail to do his best?"
The crisp sound of armor clashing sounded, and Kara, who was extremely excited, knelt down on the ground without hesitation, caressed his chest and saluted Lei Xiao: "My subordinate Kalakwen, I am willing to swear allegiance to the lord to the death!"
"Let's start signing the contract."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and a third-level recruitment order flashed with silver light, shining brightly in the room.
A familiar prompt soon rang in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, the third-order two-star heavy knight Karakwin has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate!]
"Kara, starting from today, you and your family will become stronger and stronger under my protection."
Lei Xiao easily lifted the heavily armored female knight up and opened the opponent's attribute bar.
[Name: Kara]
[Occupation: Heavy Knight]
[Level: Level 3, Two Stars]
[Skill 1: Heavy Anchor Thrust "Active" (physical single target attack, additional shield-breaking effect and armor-breaking effect)]
[Skill 2: Shattering Heavy Slash "Active" (physical single target attack, additional interruption effect)]
[Skill 3: Sword and Gun Mastery "Passive" (moderately increases damage when using a long sword or lance)]
"This way, I can communicate with Theresa in real time."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then with a wave of his hand, a brand new set of fourth-level heavy knight equipment, a storage ring, as well as various potions, magic scrolls and other directly necessary items appeared in front of Kara.
Seeing these massive items that she could not accumulate in ten lifetimes, Kara was needless to say how excited and grateful she was. She had no choice but to kneel at Lei Xiao's feet again, swearing her loyalty.
The Lord's power and heritage were obviously completely beyond her imagination!
"Kara, when I'm not here, I'll leave this place to you."
Lei Xiao helped the other person up again, nodded solemnly and said: "Remember, your task is only to be responsible for the contact between me and the Saint of the Moon Palace and to protect yourself. There is no need to put yourself in other dangerous situations."
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
Kara nodded quickly and heavily, with a stern look on her fair face.
"Okay, then we should get ready to leave."
Lei Xiao gently patted Kara's shoulder armor, and then nodded to the other subordinates.
Kelly City is too far away from the territory, so the fastest way is to return through the city return crystal.
When Erza returned, it didn't take long before a flash of cyan light flashed through. Under Kara's watch, Lei Xiao and his party disappeared in the room.
The momentary feeling of weightlessness passed by, and when Lei Xiao's vision became clear again, the surroundings were already familiar with the scene of the territory.
Lei Xiao took a deep breath of the air that was still filled with the faint smell of blood, nodded to the subordinates beside him and said: "Everyone, I have been running around for a long time. Although I really want everyone to have a good rest, the army of the two princes will be gone in five days.
The troops are approaching the city, and the time left for us is numbered."
"So, as I said in the morning, we must race against time to turn the faint stars into bright lights that illuminate the road to victory."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, the main subordinates stepped forward one after another and showed their determination and perseverance with their actions.
"Very good, then let's go directly to the next destination. It's time to visit another ideal ally in the Far North of the Cold Flame Kingdom, the Fortress."
Lei Xiao looked at the firm expressions of his subordinates, nodded with satisfaction and said: "Only by finding a way to form an alliance with the third princess stationed there, can the northern army led by the third princess become the backbone of the two princes.
A sharp blade will knock on the door of victory for us."
"As you command! Lord!"
The main force and subordinates, who were already ready to go, bowed and saluted and said in unison.
"Set off."
With a wave of Lei Xiao's big hand, the group of people arrived at Wangxing City instantly through Jiang Li's teleportation magic.
After that, Lei Xiao and his party went all the way north via Wangxing City and started heading towards the Far North Buluo Fortress.
"The third princess? I wonder what this princess, who is a few years older than Ariel, looks like?"
In a flash of lightning, Lei Xiao's face couldn't help but reveal a touch of curiosity, and he murmured to himself.
"Time is tight, I hope everything goes smoothly. After all, just dealing with Ariel not long ago has already made me a little exhausted."
