Chapter 308 The Trial of the Lord Fanyin【5K】
"My lord, listening to the part where Keli and Gary were sent back for their cleverness was quite satisfying."
A group of people were walking in a secluded corridor of the trade fair, Kelly whispered in Lei Xiao's ear.
"It's just two clowns."
Lei Xiao shrugged his shoulders, and said calmly: "When the scuffle comes, just deal with it directly, and then push it to the mysterious organization."
"Kelly, when I see your father later, find an opportunity to ask him in private about all the details about the traps laid by the Lord Fanyin. The more detailed the better, this time the mysterious organization has a fifth-level powerhouse dispatched, and the matter is much more difficult. "
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then continued: "We must plan ahead, arrange for you father and daughter to stay away from the main battlefield of the auction in advance, and guarantee the evacuation route afterwards, and also prevent the Fanyin City Lord from discovering the abnormality."
Lei Xiao clearly understood that even during the period of the first two auctions, Kelly had been mediating in the middle, allowing him and his subordinates to obtain a lot of privileges.
However, Gail, who is the president of the Shanglu Trade Fair in Fanyin City, has also made active contributions in secret, and he has already understood this.
In other words, it has reached a tacit understanding with itself.
In addition, Gail's pivotal position in the collateral line of the Shanglu family is also very important to him.
As a result, although Gail, who is a Tier 4 powerhouse, has not yet become a direct subordinate of his own.
But because of the above, it is natural that he cannot be casually made a victim between Fanyin City Lord's side and the mysterious organization.
"Obey! Your lord!"
Hearing Lei Xiao's words, Kelly's exquisite face was full of joy, and she nodded repeatedly.
Under Kelly's guidance, they walked along the luxurious corridor covered with soft red carpets.
Not long after, Lei Xiao and his party came to an extremely heavily guarded area.
In addition to the trade fair guards in leather armor, there are also a large number of elite soldiers in light armor who are walking and patrolling, making crisp and cold armor collision sounds.
I saw that the eyes of each soldier were very sharp, and the weapons they carried were round shields and one-handed swords that were convenient for fighting in small spaces.
Vaguely, a murderous air was already floating in the air.
"My lord, these soldiers are the guards of Fanyin City. They are all at the second-tier senior level. Many of them are veterans who have experienced many battles and have rich combat experience."
Kelly moved closer to Lei Xiao again, and whispered in a low voice, "The front is the room where I will meet the Lord Fanyin."
"very good."
Lei Xiao nodded, and slowly withdrew his gaze from looking around.
At present, the ones following me are Zhao Yan and Kelly, and a team of second-tier trade fair elite guards under Kelly's command.
In the dark, there were three people including the knotweed hidden under the invisibility cloak. As for Fang Hai and the other three at the other table, they had already gone to the new venue to explore the terrain.
After Kelly greeted the captain of the guarded trade fair, Lei Xiao and his party went straight to a room with the most strict guards.
Since the invisibility cloak of the knotweed and others can only be seen through by the powerhouse of the fifth rank, and with the help of the concealment ring, it is naturally unimpeded.
However, in order to avoid being noticed by the fourth-rank powerhouse Fanyin City Lord, Lei Xiao only brought Chaoyan and Kelly on the bright side, and the knotweed stick hidden in the dark.
Just walking into the gorgeously decorated room, Lei Xiao noticed.
In the huge room, there were only two people sitting upright.
One is the one who has met before, Kelly's father, Gail, the president of the Shanglu Trade Fair in Fanyin City.
The other is a middle-aged strong man in a blue mage robe with a calm face.
Judging from his grizzled temples and dense crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, he should be around fifty years old.
I saw that the mage robe on the other party was colorful, and he exuded a faint aura from top to bottom.
His gestures are quite similar to Gail on the side, giving people a sense of tenacity.
This is obviously Auer, the owner of Fanyin City.
"Your Excellency, City Lord, this is the one I mentioned just now, who helped us from the side line of Shanglu to overcome the crisis."
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, Gail put down the teacup in his hand, and then introduced to the city lord Al, who was beside him.
The name Chensha is exactly the alias Lei Xiao has been using until now.
After this period of understanding, Lei Xiao has already learned.
In the countries of the human race, the word cinnabar is relatively common, and it is one of the extremely common names, so there is no need to worry about any problems.
"Hehe, it turns out that this is His Excellency Chensha, he is really young and promising."
Auer, the lord of Fanyin, smiled and nodded, and raised his hand to signal Lei Xiao to take a seat.
However, judge it from its vaguely surprised expression.
Obviously, they did not expect that Lei Xiao, who was the most dazzling at the auction, would be so young.
"Your Excellency, the city lord, has won the prize. I just slap my face swollen to look fat, which is nothing to worry about."
Lei Xiao, who had just taken his seat, smiled faintly and waved his hands slightly.
The reason why Lei Xiao gave such a plausible answer was naturally to make the other party confused about his details.
Lei Xiao understood clearly, just like what he thought just now.
Although it has been confirmed that the Fanyin City Lord in front of him is hostile to the mysterious organization, this does not mean that the other party is a trustworthy comrade in arms.
After all, in essence, as the lord of another world, he has an antagonistic relationship with both the mysterious organization and the city lord Fanyin.
No one would want an extremely uncertain and strange force to appear on the territory they control.
"Hehe, the young man is too modest."
The city lord Orr was still smiling, and nodded with a smile.
I saw him picking up the teacup and tasting the fragrant tea in the cup, while seemingly inadvertently, he asked again: "Your Excellency Chensha, I heard that your hometown is far away in the remote area of the kingdom, and this time you came to Fanyin City , there must be something important, right?"
Hearing the other party's question, Lei Xiao, who was also drinking tea, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, also smiling.
Needless to say, the reason why the other party asked this question was naturally to find out his own details.
After all, from the perspective of the other party, it is very likely that he will be a member of the mysterious organization, and it is still unknown.
"If I reveal my flaws now, I'm afraid the other party will be very likely to attack on the spot. In this way, it will undoubtedly completely destroy the previous layout."
Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao, who still kept a smile on his face, immediately responded: "Your Excellency, City Lord, don't you already know the purpose of this trip?"
"I have some unusual origins with the collateral lineage of the Shanglu family. This trip is to help the collateral lineage, and secondly, to take an adventurous tour along the way."
"And at the auction just now, I happened to catch up with His Excellency the City Lord, and provided a rare opportunity to explore the ruins together, which gave me a pleasant surprise."
Speaking of this, Lei Xiao's calm tone was a little more excited: "With two long-established Tier 4 powerhouses as companions, you can also explore unknown ancient ruins. , is definitely an opportunity not to be missed, so I took the liberty to photograph it, and please don’t take offense, Your Excellency the City Lord.”
The reason why Lei Xiao answered like this was for one purpose, and that was to resolve the other party's concerns.
As long as the city lord Orr clearly understands that he is in the same camp as President Gail, he can achieve this the fastest.
After all, the relationship between the two is good, and they trust each other.
With Gail's relationship, the other party's doubts about him will naturally be greatly reduced.
Moreover, these words can reasonably explain all his actions at the auction.
"Hehe, little friend Chensha doesn't need to explain too much. Since he is a friend of Shanglu's side line, then he is one of his own."
The reaction of the city lord Orr was also very quick, and he continued to smile and said: "However, my little friend only brought a magician with big eyes with him, and his strength seems a bit too weak."
After a pause, Auer frowned and added: "Currently, there are internal and external troubles in the Cold Flame Kingdom, and the situation is extremely unstable. Even some evil forces hidden in the dark are beginning to move around, but you must pay attention to safety."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."
Lei Xiao took a sip of the fragrant tea, and while continuing to smile, he thought to himself: "Have you started to wait for an opportunity to find out the details of my strength? It seems that the other party has not completely let go of their guard against me."
Regarding this point, Lei Xiao was naturally well prepared.
As long as one's own strength is lower, the opponent's vigilance will undoubtedly be lower.
Lei Xiao gently put down his teacup, shook his head helplessly and said, "To tell you the truth, Your Excellency, I am also deeply aware of the seriousness of this problem."
"That's why I have reached an agreement with Captain Tina of the Blue Rose Knights and Captain Ryan of the Broken Blade Knights. These two knights will send strong men to serve as my guards and supplement my combat power."
Lei Xiao sighed softly, and then said: "So when exploring the ruins, the strong men of these two knight orders will accompany you, and I hope the Lord of the City will know."
"So that's the case, then I'm relieved."
The city lord Orr still smiled and nodded.
It can be clearly seen that there is a trace of kindness that has never been seen in his smile.
After a pause, the city lord Orr finally started the next topic: "Then, let's discuss the specific time for exploring the ruins."
"In the next period of time, I will be active in several nearby cities, and I have plenty of time."
Lei Xiao nodded, and replied without hesitation: "So, please set a time for the busy city lord, and I can spare time."
While speaking, Lei Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that I have not been tested by the other party to find out what is true, and I have also gained some trust from the other party.
"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."
Orr and Gail at the side looked at each other, and said slowly: "In the past few days, the affairs of the Fanyin City Lord's Mansion are indeed a bit busy. In my opinion, it is most appropriate to set the time in five days. How about friendship?"
"Is that really the case? The opponent's financial situation has been eased, and the confrontation with the mysterious organization is still unclear, so they are not in a hurry to advance this step."
Seeing that everything was going as he expected, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows calmly.
"This also coincides with my thoughts. After all, I also need to learn more about the mysterious organization, so that I can deal with possible attacks more easily."
"Furthermore, using this period of time, my strength can undoubtedly be further enhanced."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao poured himself a drink, and said with a smile: "Then it's all up to the Lord of the City, and I will return to Fanyin City after five days."
"Hehe, that's the end of the matter."
Orr also looked very satisfied, and also nodded and smiled.
When all the dust settled, Lei Xiao put down the teapot and asked worriedly, "By the way, Your Excellency, I heard that the ancient box that will be auctioned soon was attacked by a group of mysterious people. , they won’t come to snatch it again, will they?”
"Hehe, little friend Chensha doesn't need to worry too much."
Orr, the lord of Fanyin City, still had a calm expression on his face, and responded righteously: "Tonight, inside and outside the Shanglu Fair, heavy defenses have been laid up. The 8,000 garrison troops in Fanyin City and the city The several major mercenary organizations will swear to the death to ensure the safety of all guests."
"Sure enough, it's an old fox. He obviously set up a net to lure that mysterious organization to come, disregarding the safety of other guests, but he spoke so righteously."
Lei Xiao curled his lips, and said helplessly in his heart: "It seems that it is impossible to get other information out of this old fox's mouth. I'll let Kelly take the time to ask the participants. Gail."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao drank the tea in his cup, then stood up and said with a smile, "It's really an honor for me to get to know Your Excellency the City Lord this time, since the auction is about to start, I won't bother you Your Excellency the City Lord, I look forward to the adventure trip with the City Lord and President Gail five days later."
"Hehe, then I won't keep little friend Chensha, see you at the auction later."
The city lord Orr nodded slightly and said with a smile.
After leaving the room where the City Lord Fanyin was, under Kelly's guidance, Lei Xiao and his party went straight to the hall where the third auction was held.
Not long after, they entered the spacious and bright hall, and Lei Xiao noticed it.
The area of this unfamiliar auction hall is almost the same as the starry sky hall just now, but the brightness is much higher, and the overall structure is rectangular.
Under the reflection of a large number of crystal glass chandeliers inlaid with light crystals, the huge hall is full of magnificent and golden appearances, which makes people dazzled.
On both sides of the hall, there are two rows of milky white stone pillars, engraved with exquisite figure reliefs, quite artistic, and the seats in the hall are all composed of booths, which are obviously higher than the previous starry sky hall Some.
As for the most important auction stage, it is at the forefront and is currently being completely blocked by a giant red velvet curtain.
"It's kind of interesting. Rather than saying it's an auction house, it's better to say it's a luxurious theater with a strong artistic atmosphere."
Lei Xiao looked at the magnificent surroundings with great interest, and nodded thoughtfully.
At this time, in the hall, many nobles and businessmen had already gathered, stopping to chat.
Judging from the relaxed and happy atmosphere, it was obvious that no one had noticed that a bloody storm was about to blow here.
"My lord, please go this way."
Only to hear Kelly's crisp voice, it rang again in Lei Xiao's ear.
After passing through the bustling crowd, and arriving at the seat that Kelly had arranged in advance, Lei Xiao found out.
It is located in the middle of the booth area, and next to a giant stone pillar, the location is extremely inconspicuous, just convenient for the next actions on my side.
Seeing Lei Xiao approaching, Fang Hai and the other three at the next table greeted him immediately. After greeting Lei Xiao, Kelly raised her skirt and hurried to find Gail for information. .
"My lord, after the investigation just now, I didn't find any abnormalities in the booth area of this hall."
Fang Hai nodded respectfully to Lei Xiao, and reported softly: "It seems that the mysteries should be concentrated in the auction stage area behind the red curtain."
"My lord, the subordinates are only within the curtain and found some energy fluctuations."
The rough sound of the knotweed stick also resounded.
"It's already obvious that the front half of this hall will become the main battlefield between Fanyin's side and the powerful mysterious organization."
After listening to the reports of the two subordinates, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
I saw Lei Xiao's dark eyes move slightly, and while looking around, he continued: "When the battle starts, the surroundings will inevitably be extremely chaotic, we just need to seize the opportunity to seize the ancient box, and then leave with the panicked crowd. "
After a pause, Lei Xiao added: "As for the retreat route, it's also very simple. Just find the nearest safe room and use the city return crystal to escape directly. You don't need to leave the Shanglu Fair."
"What the lord said is very true."
Fang Hai nodded in agreement, and responded: "In this way, all troubles can be avoided. At that time, outside the Shanglu Fair, they will definitely be surrounded by soldiers from Fanyin City."
"Then come here first, according to the plan, just wait for the opportunity to act."
After speaking, Lei Xiao sat down on the soft sofa calmly.
After sitting down on the sofa, Lei Xiao noticed further.
I saw Tina of the Blue Rose Knights and Ryan of the Broken Blade Knights still not far away, waving enthusiastically to this side.
Even the elder of the Xuansen family, who was far away from him before, was also around him, casting a vaguely indignant look.
As for the rich and fat nobleman, he was placed in the last row. Judging from his angry and fat face, he seemed not very satisfied with his seat.
After a while, Kelly, who had put on a new outfit, came in front of Lei Xiao again.
"My lord, my subordinates have already asked about the trap. The three fourth-tier mercenary experts hired by Fanyin City Lord, as well as other third-tier mercenary experts, seem to have created one. It is said that even the fifth-tier mercenary expert A magic circle that the opponent can also contend with."
Kelly's crisp voice came to Lei Xiao's ears again: "Therefore, my father was arranged in the second half of the venue, responsible for dealing with emergencies in the trade fair and preventing the mysterious organization from To do sabotage, and to deal with the mysterious organization powerhouse who is alone."
"Can it compete with the magic circle of the fifth-order powerhouse? It's interesting."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, nodded and said, "In this way, your father's problem will be solved, and then I will let Lin and Bai Wei, who are under the invisibility cloak, intentionally make a big noise outside the venue .”
"Thank you very much, Lord Lord!"
On Kelly's fair face, a touch of joy immediately appeared, and she jumped for joy.
"By the way, Kelly, when it's time to evacuate..."
Immediately, Lei Xiao described the evacuation plan he had just mentioned with Fang Hai and his subordinates, and described it again.
"Please rest assured, my lord, the terrain here is well understood by my subordinates."
Kelly nodded confidently, with a look of desolation on her delicate face, and sighed softly, "It's just that I won't be able to meet the lord for a few days."
"Cultivate well. When the time is right, I will take you to the territory to have a look."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and then spoke.
Just as the two of them said this, the curtain on the auction stage slowly opened.
A white-haired old auctioneer in brocade robes appeared in front of everyone immediately.
"Dear guests, welcome to the third session of the Fanyin City Joint Auction."
An old and resonant voice sounded, and the old man on the stage said with a smile.
"Is it finally about to start?"
Seeing this, Lei Xiao had a look of anticipation on his face, and secretly said in his heart: "A fifth-order powerhouse from a mysterious organization, can you match up with a magic circle that can deal with a fifth-order powerhouse?"
"It seems that the city owner's preparations are quite sufficient. It really makes people look forward to how the next plot will develop."
