Chapter 918 Unexpected Harvest and the Gratitude of the Elders

Surprised, Ariel quickly walked to Lei Xiao's side, and whispered in a low voice: "My lord, if there is no accident, the subordinates should know the origin of this half-elf illusionist!"

"Oh? Tell me."

Lei Xiao nodded to signal Jiang Li and other strong men to keep an eye on each other for the time being, and at the same time, a touch of curiosity emerged, and he continued to listen.

"My lord, do you still remember the two aces under His Majesty the King of Heroes? One of them is the earth-shattering Earth Dragon Knights, the commander is Perrin, and the other is the half-elf archer who can hit every shot. regiment, the commander is Wangyou."

Ariel's crisp voice continued to echo in Lei Xiao's ears: "And the appearance of this young half-elf is exactly the same as Wangyou in the palace portrait!"

"So, this guy is very likely to be a member of Wangyou's clan?"

Lei Xiao was startled for a moment, but then he reacted.

Regarding the information about Wangyou, the legendary half-elf, Lei Xiao, who often talks to Ariel at night, is obviously no stranger.

Back then, the reason why Wang Xi was able to successfully establish the Lengyan Kingdom was undoubtedly due to Wangyou's contribution. Using the forest bow and blast arrow in his hand, Wang Xi helped Wang Xi clear many obstacles and powerful enemies.

But what is embarrassing is that not long after Wang Xi's fall, Wangyou died accidentally in a battle, and almost left the land that he once guarded with Wang Xi.

And after Wangyou, the half-elf arrow god Qiduo, one of the nine dragon-slaying heroes, inherited the position of patriarch of the half-elf tribe. Those are all things for later.

But what is certain is that it was precisely because of Wangyou's accidental death that the half-elf tribe that was once one of the rich families of Lengyan began to gradually decline until it was expelled from the Kingdom of Lengyan by several generations of suspicious Lengyan monarchs. .

Moreover, after being expelled from the Cold Flame Kingdom, the disheartened half-elf tribe completely lost news, and no one knows their traces until today.

Due to the disappearance of the half-elf tribe, this made it impossible for some of the cold flame monarchs who wanted to restore the status of the half-elf tribe in later generations.

"That's right, Lord Lord, according to the "Royal Chronicle", although Wangyou has no heirs, he has other blood relatives. For example, Qiduo is Wangyou's niece, so this half-elf who looks like Wangyou must have come from For the Moon Chasing Clan!"

Ariel's face was full of excitement, she nodded and said: "I didn't expect to find traces of the Moon Chasing Clan here!"

"It is indeed a big windfall."

After learning about the other party's background, Lei Xiao slightly raised his eyebrows.

The Moonchaser Clan is the name of that half-elven tribe.

The reason why Ariel is so excited is actually very simple.

Because Ariel is also like that part of the Lengyan Monarch, who wants to restore the status and honor of the Moon Clan in the Lengyan Kingdom.

After all, the Yueyue Clan contributed a lot to the Lengyan Kingdom, but those generations of suspicious Lengyan Monarchs expelled the Yueyue Clan from the Lengyan Kingdom without any justifiable reason.

"The most important thing is that the strength of the Yueyue family is extremely good. If we can gain the loyalty of the other party, it will undoubtedly further enhance our overall combat power!"

"But in the final analysis, I'm afraid this is not an easy task."

Lei Xiao frowned, and nodded thoughtfully.

It is conceivable that from the moment they were expelled from the Lengyan Kingdom for no reason, the Moon Chasing Clan must have been extremely disappointed in this land.

After hundreds of years, the other party finally got out of this past, and if we want to pull him back, it is undoubtedly equivalent to tearing the other party's wounds again, and the difficulty can be imagined.

"However, since I accidentally ran into this half-elf illusionist who came to my door, it was a good start."

Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao slowly walked up to the still unknown half-elf illusionist, and said with a smile, "So, you are from the Moon Chasing Clan, right?"

"Your Excellency, how do you know?!"

The young female half-elf illusionist blinked her slender eyelashes, and said in disbelief, "Who are you? No one has ever been able to tell the origin of you!"

"It doesn't matter who I am, but I'm interested in you."

The smile on Lei Xiao's face became more intense, and he said calmly, "Tell me why you appear here."

"I'm just a mercenary officially registered in the mercenary guild, and I'm just using people's money to eliminate disasters for others!"

The female half-elf illusionist widened her starry eyes, her fair cheeks were full of innocence and said: "I have no grievances with the Shanglu family. If I offend you just because of the golden dragon, please don't execute me!"

"My lord, it seems that this guy regards us as Hanshui's accomplices."

Erza raised her willow eyebrows, stroked her chest and saluted: "This subordinate has already unloaded all her weapons, and indeed found a badge issued by the Mercenary Guild. This guy is still a Mithril rank second only to the highest rank." Where are the mercenaries!"

After all, Erza handed over a shiny silver dog tag badge respectfully.

"Is it actually at the same level as Randall? It can already be regarded as a quasi-legendary mercenary."

Lei Xiao took the badge, shook it towards the sun, and then connected to Randall's voice, and began to confirm the other party's identity.

Each mercenary badge has a unique number, and Randall, who is familiar with all of this, is undoubtedly the fastest choice.

"My lord, my subordinates have confirmed the other party's identity!"

Randall's clean voice soon reached Lei Xiao's ears: "1000368, a mithril-ranked mercenary registered in the Kingdom of Grim, nicknamed Aurs the Illusory Eye, is good at using illusions, the last time The place of appearance is Starport Fort in Kingdom of Grim!"

"Understood."

Lei Xiao turned off his reading, looked up and down again on the half-elf illusionist's white face full of horror, and said with a smile, "It turns out to be Aurs, the Illusory Eye, and it's such an explosive name."

"Your Excellency, Your Royal Highness, this mercenary powerhouse is indeed Aurs, the Illusory Eye, whom I met by chance in the mercenary guild a few days ago."

Accompanied by Leslie and three other elders, the old man in blue robe walked over quickly.

When I got closer, I saw the old man in blue robe just about to salute Lei Xiao and Ariel, but happened to see the true face of the half-elf illusionist, and couldn't help being surprised: "Girl? I didn't expect Your Excellency Aurs to be like this!" young!"

"After all, this guy is a real half-elf. You can't judge her age just by her appearance."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and asked the female half-elf illusionist, "Then, Your Excellency Ols the Illusory Eye, please tell me your real name."

"Call me Mia."

After hearing that Lei Xiao is not Han Shui's minion, the half-elf illusionist named Mia obviously eased his panic, and said with a long sigh of relief: "It turns out that your Excellency is the famous princess Ke Qing! Recently, Ke Qing Your Excellency's name is really impressive!"

"I don't dare to do it, I just tried my best."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and his expression suddenly became serious: "Since you are a mercenary, then continue to perform your duties, but don't have any wrong thoughts, or I will kill you on the spot."

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that my task completion rate is 100%, and I have never disappointed my employer!"

Looking at Lei Xiao's eyes with obvious murderous intent, Mia's white throat rolled, swallowed a mouthful of spit, and nodded hastily.

"Give her back her belongings for now."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and while nodding to signal Jiang Li and Erusa to watch each other closely, he handed over the mercenary badge again.

Lei Xiao clearly understands that this girl will be of great use in the future, so naturally she cannot let her go easily.

However, the most urgent thing at this stage is to get in touch with Leslie's grandfather and other opposition elders as soon as possible.

"As expected of Your Excellency Ke Qing, even the cold and illusory eye Aurs can be easily tamed."

The blue-robed old man knelt down on one knee and said sincerely, "Thanks to Your Highness the Princess and Your Excellency Ke Qing for coming to the rescue, and for saving Leslie!"

The other three elders also made the same movement, lowering their heads towards Lei Xiao and Ariel.

After all, the old bodies of the four Shanglu family elders trembled involuntarily because of excitement.

They had lost their way in the darkness just now, and the arrival of Her Royal Highness Princess and Your Excellency Ke Qing was like sending charcoal in a timely manner, allowing them to see the dawn of hope again!

"The four elders don't need to be too polite."

Lei Xiao helped the elders up one by one, smiled and nodded.

After that, through Leslie's introduction, Lei Xiao learned about it.

The old man in the blue robe is Leslie's grandfather and the chief elder Keen of the Shanglu family.

Needless to say, the other three elders were the opposition elders who stood on the side of Old Keane.

"Elder Keen, Leslie has already told you, right? I am here with the princess to bring Han Shui down from the throne of Patriarch."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Lei Xiao's face was full of solemnity, and he said: "He has led the Shanglu family to stand on the opposite side of me and Your Highness the Princess, and aimed his sharp blade at me and Your Highness the Princess, and I will never let him go. "

"To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, when Hanshui held a secret meeting, the old man and the four of them firmly disagreed with his actions. Unfortunately, he turned a deaf ear to it."

Old Keen stroked his gray beard lightly, and shook his head helplessly.

"Your Excellency, the main reason why the Shanglu clan has been able to develop all the way to today is that they are wholeheartedly attached to the royal family. Although there were other patriarchs who were ready to move, they never took a step forward."

"However, Han Shui took this step without hesitation, leading the Shanglu family to join this power dispute, trying to determine the ownership of the throne with his own strength, what arrogance and arrogance this is."

"This approach may yield short-term benefits, but it will eventually lead the flourishing Shanglu family to wither."

When Old Keen said this, the other three elders also nodded, with expressions of indignation on their faces.

"Elder Ke En is right. If Han Shui continues to go his own way, Her Highness the Princess and I will have to destroy the entire Shanglu family, even if we die together."

Lei Xiao's voice became more serious, and he continued: "But through my understanding with the princess, I have learned that the Shanglu family and you loyal courtiers to the royal family exist, so I chose to contact you alone, in an attempt to let everyone The Shanglu family reined in the precipice."

"This is not only for everyone and the Shanglu family, but also for me and Her Royal Highness, as long as the Shanglu family can turn to us, and when Her Royal Highness aspires to the throne, not only will all the sins of the Shanglu family be pardoned, but also more rewards will be granted. profit and glory."

"Of course, these are things for later."

Lei Xiao's eyes moved, glanced at the four elders one by one, and continued: "As for now, as long as you choose to assist me and Your Highness the Princess, you are already under the protection of me and Your Highness the Princess, and I will protect you and your highness." The safety of the family members, because we are already a party that advances and retreats together."

Having said this, Lei Xiao's voice slowed down a bit, and he asked seriously: "How is it? Are you willing to help me and Your Highness the Princess?"

"Your Excellency Ke Qing not only saved Leslie's life, but also let us see the dawn of life again. How could we be unwilling?"

Keane and the other three elders looked at each other, and after seeing a hint of firmness in each other's eyes, they responded without hesitation: "The kindness of Her Royal Highness is well known in the world, and Your Majesty's strategy is even more important. It is breathtaking, so no matter what choice Her Royal Highness the Princess and Your Excellency Ke Qing make, I will fully support it!"

"No matter what choice Her Royal Highness the Princess and Your Excellency Ke Qing make, we will fully support it!"

After Keen finished speaking, the other three elders also repeated it, and nodded firmly.

"With these words from everyone, Her Highness the Princess and I are relieved."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then introduced his thoughts to Keane and others in detail.

"Support Lin Nizi to take the position of Patriarch?"

After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Old Keen nodded thoughtfully, sighed softly and said, "To tell you the truth, Your Excellency, Your Highness, from the very beginning, there has been no relationship between the direct line and the collateral lines of the Shanglu family. There are too many estrangements, which have only intensified in recent decades, making Gail and other collateral members extremely passive."

"Because of the influence of the family, even the old man and the others gradually don't care about the collateral members. This is indeed the fault of the old man and the others."

Speaking of this, Old Keen and the other three elders first smiled apologetically at Lin and Gail, and then continued: "But from a historical point of view, the collateral members have never been on the patriarch's throne. bit precedent."

"But please rest assured, Your Highness the Princess and Your Excellency Ke Qing, the family rules of the Shanglu family do not restrict collateral members from becoming the head of the family, so the old man and others will do their best to help Lin Nizi ascend to the position of the head of the family! "

"After all, it's the first time that bastard Hanshui has joined the power struggle regardless of everything."

After old Keen affirmed Lei Xiao's idea, the old man's face was full of embarrassment immediately, he shook his head helplessly and said: "But if we want to really do this, I'm afraid it will not be so easy."

"Elder Keen has any difficulties, but it doesn't matter."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said calmly.
