Chapter 916: Shocking Changes in Lionheart City (Part 2)

"His Royal Highness, Princess?!"

Seeing Ariel's graceful and delicate face clearly, Leslie was stunned for a while with her lips parted, then hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "See Your Highness the Princess! To be able to see Her Highness's face from such a close distance, It is the supreme honor of my subordinates!"

"Leslie doesn't need to be polite."

Ariel lowered her body slightly, helped the leader of the Shanglu family's younger generation up, and said with a smile: "I remember that you attended the evening dance of my coming-of-age ceremony, didn't you? That farewell is already Years."

"That's right, Your Highness, it was grandfather who brought his servants to Her Highness's ball at that time! I still remember that when you came out dressed up, Your Highness, even the twin moons and stars outside the window lost their color!"

Leslie's slightly pale face was full of flattery, and immediately there was a touch of uncontrollable excitement: "I didn't expect Her Royal Highness to remember this subject!"

After finishing speaking, Leslie's slender body began to tremble with excitement.

You know, Her Royal Highness Ariel is honored as the eldest lady among the eldest ladies, the most perfect and elegant princess in the Lengyan Kingdom, and the idol and aspirational figure of countless noble ladies, including Leslie. Inside.

On the other hand, Leslie herself is only somewhat famous within the Shanglu family, which is evident from this.

"Leslie, you are about the same age as me, and you are very talented. When you participated in the meeting, your own strength was already the best among your peers. Remembering you is also a matter of course."

Ariel still maintained a faint smile, and said with a smile: "It's really a wonderful fate to be able to meet here again."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your appreciation! It's a pity that the subject has undergone tremendous changes, and I cannot entertain Her Highness the Princess."

After the excitement, Leslie drooped her brows again, her fair face dotted with freckles was full of sadness.

Feeling dejected, Leslie thought of something, and looked at Lin in disbelief and said: "Her Royal Highness's flag has already filled half of the Lengyan Kingdom, so everyone has joined Her Highness's banner." camp?"

"That's right, Cousin Leslie."

Lin nodded with a smile, and responded: "Under the command of this lord, we will cut off all thorns."

Having said this, Lin bowed back and let Lei Xiao out.

"You, you are the princess Ke Qing who is called the Phantom Lord?"

Looking at Lei Xiao's calm and indifferent face, Leslie's lips parted slightly, several times hesitant to speak.

As for the miraculous record of Lei Xiao and Ai Lier, as the granddaughter of the elder, Leslie is no stranger to it, and the fact that Lei Xiao's subordinates are as strong as a cloud also shocked Leslie.

Leslie understands even more clearly that at such a critical moment of life and death, only the Princess Keqing and His Royal Highness Ariel can save the lives of herself, her grandfather and others!

However, now that the Shanglu family has stood on the side of the fourth prince, it is undoubtedly tantamount to standing on the opposite side of His Royal Highness Ariel, and they are enemies of each other.

In this situation, even the unruly and willful Leslie couldn't say the words to ask for help.

"I am indeed the Shadow Lord."

Hearing his long-lost nickname, Lei Xiao smiled faintly.

What the other party was thinking couldn't be hidden from Lei Xiao's eyes, and this coincided with Lei Xiao's next action plan.

As long as there is Leslie as a breakthrough, and those elders who support Hanshui are ready to kill at this time, it is undoubtedly easy to persuade the four opposition elders.

"Things are simpler than I imagined, but to be on the safe side, let's take this guy under his command first. The current situation is simply a godsend."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao immediately nodded to Ariel.

"Obey, my lord."

Ariel understood, and quickly walked in front of Leslie, explaining Lei Xiao's true status concisely and clearly.

"No, I didn't expect that even the proud princess would be willing to bow down and surrender."

When Leslie heard that this Master Keqing was the real master of everything, the astonishment on her fair face was beyond words.

Although I have long heard that Master Ke Qing is invincible and has created incredible war miracles one after another.

But Leslie never imagined that Mr. Ke Qing could even subdue Her Highness the Princess. This is simply a miracle among miracles!

"What kind of magical power does this man have that can make Her Royal Highness Ariel lower her proud head?"

Leslie's starry eyes flickered, she looked straight at Lei Xiao, and swallowed involuntarily.

At this time, she doesn't have the arrogance and pride of being a direct member of the Shanglu family. In front of Lei Xiao, everything about her is simply not worth mentioning!

"And not long ago, Lin and Kelly were far inferior to me in strength, but now they have reached the same level as me. Such an astonishing speed of cultivation may be difficult even for the Patriarch."

At this point, the situation could not be more clear.

This young man from another world in front of him obviously possesses incredible courage and enormous energy! Not to mention her, even her grandfather can't compare to it!

"I didn't expect that one day Miss Ben would stand in front of such a person and be rescued by him."

Just when Leslie's heart was stirring back and forth.

Noticing the reverent gaze projected by the other party, Lei Xiao's face was indifferent, and he said bluntly: "I already know about your entanglement, but Hanshui's decision does not represent everyone in the Shanglu family. Even if you don't make a request, I will Will help too."

"Because your grandfather is crucial to my next actions, and that's why I saved you."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao showed a look of solemnity on his face, and continued: "However, I will decide my rules of action based on the development of the next thing, maybe I will choose to give up on you, or your grandfather. "

"But I will never choose to give up my subordinates, because from the moment they swore their allegiance to me, they have been tied to the thread of fate with me."

Lei Xiao glanced at the respectful subordinates beside him, and his voice became more solemn: "Then Leslie, are you willing to be my subordinate?"

"This subordinate is willing! You have just saved this subordinate, and you are about to save your grandfather and family members. This subordinate is already doomed!"

Laisli's starry eyes were full of determination, and she knelt down at Lei Xiao's feet: "Subordinate Laisili Shanglu, I am willing to swear allegiance to the lord!"

"It's not too late, let's sign the contract now."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and a Tier 3 recruitment order appeared on the palm of his hand.

It didn't take long before the reminder sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.

[Congratulations, the third-rank nine-star water magician Laisli Shanglu has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】

Hearing the prompt, Lei Xiao opened the opponent's attribute bar while leaning down to help the opponent up as usual.

【Name: Leslie】

【Occupation: Water Mage】

[Class: Tier 3 Nine Stars]

【Loyalty: 100】

[Skill 1: Spear of Flowing Water "Active" (Water attribute spell single attack, additional piercing effect)]

[Skill 2: Prison of Water "Active" (Water attribute spell group attack, additional imprisonment effect)]

[Skill 3: Torrent Wall "Active" (water attribute defensive spell, excellent effect in wet areas)]

[Skill 4: Water Attribute Magic Mastery "Passive" (when using water attribute magic, moderately increases the damage)]

"Yes, it is indeed much better than ordinary magician subordinates. These are my little greetings."

Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, a brand-new fourth-tier high-quality mage equipment, as well as a large number of magic scrolls and potions, appeared in front of Leslie.

This is the standard equipment for important subordinates. Although the quality is far inferior to the main subordinates, it is still at the level of an ordinary senior commander under Lei Xiao.

"My lord, this, these are all for the subordinates?"

Looking at the radiant equipment and magic items in front of her, Leslie was filled with excitement and filled with emotion.

Although her origin is far more precious than that of ordinary noble ladies, she has never received so many exquisite and precious items!

"This staff and robe are even better than grandfather's! There is even a fourth-order absolute defense scroll!"

Needless to say, how excited Leslie was after this.

Lei Xiao, on the other hand, signaled to Leslie to lead the way, and at the same time asked about the specific situation of the four opposing elders.

Through Leslie's introduction, Lei Xiao learned more about it.

After Hanshui led the main force of the Shanglu family to leave Lionheart City, Leslie's grandfather discovered that a considerable number of strong rivals had been left behind.

However, since Leslie's grandfather and three other elders opposed the elder's decision, the other party would not do anything blatantly.

Therefore, although some relevant countermeasures were taken, they were not taken too seriously.

After all, the elders of the Presbyterian Church have a detached status in the Shanglu family, no matter in terms of seniority or status, they are not inferior to Hanshui, the ruler of the family.

"Leslie, it seems that Han Shui took advantage of your grandfather's confidence, so he directly chose to get rid of you."

"It is conceivable that as long as the four of your grandfathers are killed, not only will the dissidents be eradicated, but they will also be used as an example to make the two neutral elders who follow the wind surrender."

"In this way, the entire Shanglu family is completely in the hands of that guy."

Accompanied by an imperceptible gust of wind, while galloping through the huge and bustling Lion Heart City, Lei Xiao spoke to Leslie who was leading the way through his words.

"What the lord said is very true, and the lord must have guessed it. In fact, from the very beginning, the grandfather of the subordinate and the other three elders strongly disagreed with Han Shui's involvement in the power disputes of the royal family."

Leslie sighed softly, followed by a crisp and respectful voice.

"Grandfather once said that the first patriarch of our Shanglu clan fought to protect His Majesty the Hero King to break through in a battle. Only then was he rewarded by His Majesty the Hero King, and he was able to have his own flag and coat of arms."

"But in the final analysis, we are just a stag loyal to the Lion King. We will be proud of the strength of the Lion King, and we will also die because of the fall of the Lion King, and we will never be able to replace it."

"However, some of the later patriarchs only saw the decline of the Lion King and the expansion of the deer herd, but they didn't understand the principle that one prospers all, one loses all, and even changed the main city of the family to Lion Heart City."

"And Hanshui was frantically tempting on the edge of danger. Not only did he choose to join the power struggle, but he even chose to cooperate with the other two great noble families in an attempt to gain more land and power."

"You know, those two aristocrats with ulterior motives are a ferocious pterosaur soaring in the sky and a powerful and powerful ground dragon. How can a stag dance with such a monster? retreat?"

Leslie's voice was full of helplessness, and she sighed again: "And now, that abominable guy actually extended his sharp blade to his own people first, it's a heinous crime!"

"Maybe he only saw the hard antlers on his head, but forgot that he didn't have the teeth and claws of a lion."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, as long as we pull him down from the position of Patriarch, he will understand everything."

Since Leslie has become one of his own, Lei Xiao has already informed Leslie of his plan to support Lin as a leader.

"As expected of the Lord Lord."

There was a touch of reverence in Laisli's voice, and she echoed: "I believe that the lord and sister Lin will definitely guide the Shanglu family to become more prosperous!"

The group of people just said this, and under the guidance of Leslie, they came to the courtyard of a small and simple castle in the center of the inner city.

During the process of sneaking into the inner city, Lei Xiao discovered it.

There are three steps, one post and five steps and one sentry. There are guard soldiers in brown armor. The defense is extremely strict, which is completely different from the outer city where people come and go.

And this small and simple castle was surrounded by at least 3 brigades of Guards soldiers, as if a war was going on.

"It turns out that the main force of the Guards Corps has not been transferred at all!"

Leslie's angry voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again: "My lord, it seems that they have been planning for a long time!"

After a pause, Leslie added: "My lord, this is one of the castles of the Presbyterian Church. It is also the location of my grandfather and the other three elder grandfathers. They are inside!"

"Then we are going to sneak in now, let's rescue them first."

However, Lei Xiao had just finished speaking, before he had time to deploy his subordinates.

I saw that the soldiers of the guards who surrounded the castle suddenly began to retreat quickly, and even the magicians worked together to cast a large magic wall, as if they were guarding against something.

Before the group of people could react, they heard a loud "boom". While the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking, this small and simple castle exploded directly, and a ball of flames shot out into the sky.

Accompanied by the rising of the fire, a large amount of thick smoke and dust began to spread rapidly around the castle.

When the thick smoke gradually dissipated, Lei Xiao looked intently.

It was discovered that the tall and simple castle had long since ceased to exist, leaving only a mess of messy ruins and broken walls.
