Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 328 That Incident and the Flames of Fire 【5K】

On the dark blue night, the sky is full of twin moons and stars.

Under the bright starry sky, in the center of Kongqing Town next to the City Lord's Mansion, on the busiest commercial street, there was a lot of people and bustling everywhere.

On both sides of the spacious street, there are all kinds of pubs and snack bars.

Among them, there are also magic supply shops, magic handicraft shops and so on with colorful signs.

At a glance, all kinds of shiny signboards inlaid with light crystals and colorful signboards enchanted with small visual magic circles complement each other, making people feel dizzy.

Amidst the crowds, the mercenaries in the tavern heard loud chatter, laughter and scolding, and the sound of wine glasses clinking together with the smell of burnt barbecue and freshly baked bread from the street food stalls, forming a bustling atmosphere. And peaceful fireworks.

Such a lively scene has continued since Lei Xiao became the Lord of Kongqing City.

On the streets now, there are no more vicious and vicious mercenaries. Instead, there are groups of garrison soldiers in shining armor and polite to the civilians.

Among the dense crowd coming and going, a young woman who seemed to be only in her 20s walked lightly in lotus steps, surrounded by a group of followers, blinking her big curious eyes, and wandered around with great interest.

She was wearing a plain khaki long dress, with thick, slightly curly hair tied into a neat single ponytail with a blue carved headband unique to Kongqing Town.

However, the fair face is dotted with a few faint freckles, which looks a little delicate.

This person is none other than Princess Ariel who has undergone an illusion disguise to cover her original face.

"Your Highness, there are so many people here, please don't walk too fast."

At this time, Jubai, the general of the Holy Light who had also undergone an illusion disguise, followed closely behind with a vegetable basket, reminding him in a low voice.

On the other side, a simple gray-haired old man followed quickly. It was the giant axe general Burt who had undergone an illusion disguise.

Behind the three of them are Lin and Fang Hai wearing illusion cloaks, and the muscular priest Ye Cang who is leisurely and leisurely.

Of course, there are also the two sisters, Nan Xing and Nan Yue, who have been quietly walking and jumping on the roofs of tall buildings on both sides in the face of the vast moonlight.

"Don't worry, I have my own measure."

Ariel raised her eyebrows lightly, and came to a stall selling pineapple buns, and threw a shiny golden dragon directly at the store.

A moment later, while taking a bite of the steaming hot freshly baked bread, Ariel squeezed into another place, in front of the bard's booth performing at the entrance of the tavern.

I saw this middle-aged bard with a vicissitudes of life, holding a dilapidated lute, playing and singing emotionally, the content was an aria about the hero king Caesar.

Hearing this, Ariel raised her eyebrows proudly, and took another bite of the steaming sweet pineapple bun.

As a member of the Lengyan royal family with the blood of the hero king Xisa flowing in his body, it is a joyful and proud thing to hear his ancestors being praised no matter when and where.

"I didn't expect this place to be quite prosperous. It seems that besides being annoying, that guy still has a little bit of merit."

While listening to the melodious melody, Ariel frowned slightly as she looked at the bustling scene around her.

In my mind, the image of a young man who stands indifferently and needs to be beaten can't help but emerge.

But at this moment, shouts of surprise came to Ariel's ears.

"My lord, that is our lord!"

"Our city lord is here! Everyone, make way for the city lord!"

"My lord, my admiration for you is as endless as a giant dragon soaring in the sky!"

"Mom, when I grow up, I want to become a city garrison and protect our city lord!"

"Hey, what's the matter, dad, I want to be a hero like the city lord, and wipe out the traitors!"

……

Accompanied by the excited voices one after another, the dense crowd in front began to spread out to the two sides.

Immediately, under the flashing neon lights, a gentle young man came into Ariel's eyes.

This person is naturally none other than Lei Xiao.

"I really want to come up with something."

Looking at Lei Xiao who was slowly approaching not far away, Princess Ariel put her hands on her hips and curled her lips slightly.

At the same time, she noticed with surprise.

The aria of the bard beside her has changed from that of her ancestor, the hero king Xisa, to this young Kongqing city lord.

The most important thing is that not only did they sing more emotionally, but they also used no fewer words of praise than before!

"This guy's reputation here is actually comparable to that of my ancestor?"

Listening to the melodious melody, Ariel's mouth twitched, but she looked helpless.

However, looking at the smiles from the heart of the people around her, she seemed to think of something again, her willow eyebrows drooped, and her mood suddenly began to sink.

At this moment, what appeared in Ariel's mind was the king's capital, which was in a mess and was emitting black smoke when she was about to leave.

Although in terms of scale and prosperity, the royal capital, the center of Lengyan, can only be described as vastly different from this remote Kongqing town.

However, Ariel, the Princess Leng Yan, had not seen the peaceful atmosphere and scene in front of her in the capital for a long time.

All she saw was the reckless killing and the devastation of life everywhere.

And all of this, she, who is the weakest in strength, is powerless at all, and nothing can be changed.

Just when Ariel thought of this with a little loss.

Lei Xiao was already under the stars, passing by Ariel.

"Since we've finished our shopping, let's go back."

A calm voice came to Ariel's ears immediately.

"Tch, you really are an annoying guy. I have something to do with you, see you later."

Ariel wrinkled her nose, then took the orange-white arm and walked away quickly.

……

Twenty minutes later, in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion in Kongqing Town.

Even though the night was dark, the spacious hall filled with light crystals was still as bright as day, so that even the reflection of people could be clearly reflected on the smooth and shiny marble floor tiles.

Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne at the top, turned his head slightly, looked at Ariel, who was still sitting not far away, on a luxurious seat that was obviously cut short by sawing, and said with a smile: "Dear No. Your Highness Fifth Prince, are you looking for me?"

I saw that Ariel had already lifted the illusion of disguise, and returned to that graceful and luxurious look. On her delicate and flawless fair cheeks, there was a faint arrogance unique to the royal family.

However, because Lei Xiao is several heads shorter than Lei Xiao visually, this proud aura has almost been suppressed to the lowest point.

"Yes."

Ariel frowned, because her position was too low, she had no choice but to look up at Lei Xiao and said, "I want to ask you something."

"Oh?"

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, turned his head again, looked down at the shorter Ariel and said, "But it's okay to say."

"It's nothing important."

I saw Ariel shrugged her shoulders, tried her best to show an ordinary look and said: "Since you have agreed to my free activities in the city just now, if I want to go around the area around Kongqing Town, you Shouldn't you refuse?"

"Is the performance coming so soon? It seems that "that matter" is quite urgent for Ariel. "

Thinking to this point secretly in his heart, Lei Xiao suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, as if he had gone through some internal struggles, and then responded: "Forget it, it's not impossible."

"Great!"

Ariel was overjoyed, and immediately coughed a few times to cover up her joy, and said calmly, "I ask you, as the Lord of Kongqing, I must have a clear understanding of the surrounding terrain." Bar?"

"It's okay."

Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said, "I don't know where you want to go, my dear Fifth Princess?"

At this moment, Lei Xiao understood clearly in his heart.

If nothing else, the place the other party wants to go is obviously inextricably linked to "that matter".

According to the information provided by Xinghui, although she can confirm it, Ariel has not been able to determine the exact location of "that thing".

But the other party must have the corresponding clues in their hands.

And this is undoubtedly the important information that he currently lacks.

"There is no specific location."

Ariel stroked her slightly curly hair, and continued: "This princess just wants to find a place with beautiful scenery to relax."

After finishing speaking, Ariel covered her mouth and coughed lightly, and added: "Of course, there are requirements, for example, the location is west of the Shadow Forest River, where there are mountains and forests, by the way, there It is best to have a town nearby, if the princess is tired, she can find a place to rest, about such a place, do you have any good suggestions?"

Hearing Ariel's request, the smile on Lei Xiao's face grew stronger.

If I didn't get the information that Ariel was looking for "that matter", this request, which sounds very ordinary, obviously has no problem.

But now, it is not difficult to deduce that Ariel's request is undoubtedly to find clues to "that matter".

"As soon as you react, and then look at Ariel's method of talking, it really makes people feel anxious."

Seeing Ariel blinking her big eyes, with a calm expression on her face, and an expression of uncontrollable anticipation, which she tried her best to suppress but couldn't help it, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and began to think.

"The west of the river in the Shadow Forest is the plain where Kongqing Town is located. In this way, the forest area where the territory is located can be excluded."

At this moment, Lei Xiao's brain was spinning rapidly, thinking secretly in his heart.

"Since the location is determined to be on the side of Kongqing Town, then there are only three places where there are towns, mountains and forests."

"The first place is Magnet Town, which I just conquered today. It is close to the endless Baibu Mountains and surrounded by forests, which fits the clue very well."

"The second place, which happened to be the town of Mailan that I have conquered, just visited. It is surrounded by the ruins of the ancient battlefield where Kumbu and others were rescued not long ago. It is also surrounded by mountains and dense forests."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of relief on his face.

After completely controlling Magnet Town today, with Kongqing Town as the center, Mailan Town, which is the closest to the south, and Magnet Town, which is the closest to the north, the three towns are connected in a line, undoubtedly forming an invisible The barrier further guarantees the security of the territory located in the forest.

In addition to being overjoyed, Lei Xiao brought his thoughts back to "that incident".

"As for the third place, it is Luolong City, a small city also located under the Baibu Mountains. It is located in the west of Magnetic Town and northwest of Kongqing Town."

Lei Xiao continued to think quietly.

"According to Lin, the geographical location of Luolong City is quite special. It stands on a pass in the Baibu Mountains, which is quite similar to the narrow pass that the half-orc army entered the forest before and was closed by giant stones with knotweed."

"However, the width of that pass is much larger, and Luolong City is a fortress city guarding this pass. Therefore, both the size of its garrison and the number of strong men are much higher. in the surrounding ordinary towns."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao groaned for a while, and simply didn't hide anything. He told Ariel all the three locations, so as to observe the other party's further reaction.

"So that's it. Are there three eligible locations?"

Hearing Lei Xiao's answer, Ariel first subconsciously exchanged glances with the two Kingdom generals not far away.

Then he continued: "Then, have any unusual things happened in these three cities recently? For example, a sudden rampage of monsters, the appearance of unknown monsters, or other crises?"

"Warcraft run rampant, and unknown monsters appear?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao was startled, and then murmured in his heart: "It seems that this mysterious "that thing" is quite dangerous. "

Seemingly inadvertently, Lei Xiao said again: "I said dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, you are not looking for something, are you? If I tell you, maybe I will help you find it too."

The reason why Lei Xiao said this was naturally to shake the mountain and see what kind of reaction the other party would have next.

"what?"

Ariel was taken aback, and quickly raised her hands and waved them, saying incoherently: "What are you looking for? This princess has never looked for anything, but... I'm just afraid that there will be danger in these places!"

After finishing speaking, Ariel blinked her big shining eyes slightly, and sneaked a guilty look here, apparently also checking Lei Xiao's reaction.

"It's really a guy who is easy to see through."

Lei Xiao pursed his lips, and continued to ponder in his heart: "In this way, the matter can be further confirmed, the "thing" that Ariel is looking for must be somewhere around these three cities. "

"Moreover, it seems that there will be some dangerous omens. Therefore, as long as you pay more attention to the situation around these three cities, I believe I will soon find out the clues."

"By the way, I have to inform Xuanyue in Mailan Town and Nednet in Magneto Town immediately to ask them to mobilize more manpower and increase the city's defense force to prevent accidents."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao looked at Ariel with an unconcealable flustered expression, and said with a faint smile, "Dear Fifth Princess, I'm just asking casually. At present, according to the information I have, the three There are no changes in the city."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and asked again: "I wonder if Your Highness the Fifth Princess has chosen a specific "play" place in mind? "

"Well... Go back to Princess Rongben and think about it!"

Seeing that Lei Xiao didn't seem to notice anything, Ariel first let out a sigh of relief, and then said: "When the princess has made up her mind, she will naturally let your muscular priest notify you."

"It seems that this guy is planning to go back and discuss with the two kingdom generals."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao didn't say anything else, he just shrugged his shoulders slightly, signaling the other party to be free.

Just when everyone was about to leave.

A burst of hurried footsteps, from far to near, came from outside the hall door.

Immediately afterwards, the heavily armed Kongqing Town garrison commander Guan Zhong pushed the door open and entered.

There was a clear sound of armor colliding, and Guan Zhong knelt on one knee, saluted Lei Xiao, and said, "My lord, I have important military information!"

After speaking, Guan Zhong looked at the two generals of the Kingdom and Ariel, and then at Lei Xiao, with a look of hesitation in his eyes.

"Oh?"

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao's nerves tensed immediately, and he said, "But it's okay to say."

At this stage, in a sense, I and Ariel are already on the same boat, so naturally there is no need to shy away from it.

"My lord, according to a report from a team of scouts who just returned, the fortress city in the northwest of us, Luolong City, has bursts of thick smoke. It is obviously in an emergency state of attack!"

Guan Zhong still kept his luggage posture, and reported without hesitation.

"what?!"

Hearing this, Ariel and the two kingdom generals first looked at each other in dismay.

After being stunned for two seconds, Ariel said with a look of incredulity: "The geographical location of Luolong City is very important. Could it be that it was attacked by aliens from outside the pass of the Baibu Mountains?! Or that thing... "

Speaking of this, Ariel, who knew she had slipped her mouth, coughed lightly again and regained her composure.

On the throne, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of deep thought.

If this is the case, then once Luolong City falls and the gates are opened, the towns under his control may also be attacked, and things will be very difficult at that time.

"But according to Lin, there are no signs of aliens living outside of this pass."

"During the past hundred years, Luolong City has never suffered any attack. It's just taking precautions before they happen. Why is it suddenly full of flames?"

"Or, Luolong City is where "that event" is located? "

Puzzled, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, frowned and said: "Forget it, let me see with my own eyes what happened there."
