Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Chapter 277 His Royal Highness is in a headache.

"So how did you deal with it, Gamma?" Li De asked casually.

"I asked Chelsea to leave a few broken stone statues at the Merchants' Guild." Gamma replied immediately.

"It's already broken, too merciful." Esdeath on the side said with a little dissatisfaction.

After all, in Esdeath's view, the arrogant idiot that Gamma dealt with committed a crime that was not just as simple as insulting the strong, but also humiliating his own master. It was too easy for him to let him die like this.

"Forget it, Esdeath, there is no need to care too much about this guy who doesn't know what he is talking about." Li De waved his hand.

After all, he was really afraid that Esdeath would take Suzuka to repair the stone statue, then remove the petrification and revive a few people, and then execute them.

"Since the master said so, let him get away with it." If Li De hadn't said nothing, Esdeath would really have this plan.

"Okay, let's start dealing with the debris and leveling the land in preparation for the move." Claire clapped her hands.

"I'll go first!" Gama said first, and then waved her hand, and a line of fire rushed forward to buy the weeds and debris on the land.

The next second, a raging fire shot up into the sky, and the amazing heat began to spread rapidly.

The people around who came with Li De and others were instantly horrified.

Because they were far away, they all felt the unbearable heat.

When these people retreated far away in panic, they realized that the sky-high flames that brought them the heat had disappeared at some point.

If it weren't for the burnt smell left by the burning, they would have thought they had hallucinations before.

"Gama, at least control the temperature, the ground has burned into glass!" Claire looked at the glass ground in front of her and said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Sorry, Lord Claire, I was only concerned with warning the people around." Gama admitted his mistake very readily.

"Sister, Gamma also means well. Besides, this kind of ground doesn't matter, Beta, right?" Li De defended it.

"Yes, master!" Beta took a step forward.

When his feet stepped on the glass surface, a wave spread out.

When the wave disappeared, the glass ground that was burned by high temperature had completely disappeared, replaced by gray rocks.

Step!

He tapped the rock ground with his feet again, and with the surge of immortal power, the ground in front of Beta began to sink, leaving a suitable foundation pit.

Opening the magic bag hanging on his waist, a mansion of considerable size was released from Claire's magic bag and fell into the foundation pit.

With the ground shaking slightly, the mansion fit the ground tightly, as if it was originally rooted on it.

"Finally, I can rest." This time it was Miyano Shiho who spoke. After all, she felt very tired all the way.

After all, she usually spends the least time outside, so compared to other people, she is more uncomfortable with the sight filled with all kinds of desires.

"Suzuka, Chelsea, when the people from the Merchants' Union deliver the flower nursery, remember to let them plant it before leaving." Gama immediately instructed the two secondary contractors.

"Yes, Lord Gama!" The two women responded immediately.

"Sid, bring a few more secondary contractors next time. I feel that there are not enough people." Claire, who followed Li De into the mansion, couldn't help but remind him.

"Indeed, I was a little careless this time. Remember to remind me next time." Li De nodded.

After all, it's different now than before. Before there were no secondary contractors, things were done by the captains, and no one commanded each other.

At most, Li De would speak directly, or Claire and Alpha would speak.

But with the secondary contractors, the captains can't help but put on airs.

If the captains still have to do some chores now, then why do the secondary contractors sign here? Just to increase the strength that can be mobilized.

So the chores should be done by the secondary contractors. In fact, if Reed had brought enough secondary contractors this time, Zeta and Gamma would not have needed to come in person to collect intelligence at the beginning and the subsequent Merchants Guild.

This is also the reason why Claire reminded Reed. After all, although she is half a level higher than the captains, it does not mean that she is completely different from other captains. Claire naturally has reasons to protect the rights and interests of the captains.

After the mansion was moved and built, Reed and the girls could relax.

But in the palace about ten kilometers away from the mansion, listening to the report from the president of the Adventurer Guild, the old king and the young prince could not relax.

"9 S-level adventurers, Jones, are you sure?" Prince Albert Di Shalum asked with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Your Highness Albert, the situation should be true. The data on the crystal ball when registering the ability value is like this. In addition, because this group of people are handsome men and beautiful women, there are some small episodes. Among them, three people have demonstrated overwhelming power one after another." Jones nodded hurriedly.

"Jones, what is the overwhelming power they demonstrated?" The blond Albert Di Shalum asked hurriedly. After all, nine S-levels are definitely an unstable safety factor that cannot be ignored for the capital.

"Your Highness Albert, please forgive me for not knowing what those powers are." Jones shook his head helplessly.

"Don't know? Why don't you know?" This time it was the old king's turn to be surprised.

After all, in his opinion, for S-level masters, it is nothing more than extraordinary achievements in swordsmanship or magic.

I don't know what the hell it is.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know what category the power they showed should belong to." Jones lowered his head and shook his head.

"Then describe to us what happened at that time." Albert did not blame him, but changed the way of asking.

"Yes, Your Highness Albert. Because these nine people have outstanding appearances, many adventurers used foul language when they entered the union, and then the ice-blue-haired woman among the nine snorted coldly.

I was not at the scene so I don't know what happened, but according to the description of the staff, the adventurers in the hall instantly looked extremely terrified, as if they were in hell, wailing constantly, and some even attacked everything around them like crazy.

Although it was only a few seconds, it made the hall a mess, and even several adventurers were injured, which scared all the staff." Jones slowly narrated.

"What else!" Albert did not rush to comment but continued to ask.

"The second one to attack was the black-haired woman who followed the only male closely. Her attack was even more confusing because she glared at the adventurer who shouted the most fiercely. Then all these adventurers fainted with white eyes and foaming at the mouth." Jones continued to answer.

"Just glared?! What happened in the end?" Albert asked again.

"The last person to attack was the only male. According to the description of the staff, he did nothing. But the entire union, including me on the second floor, felt unprecedented fear the moment he used his power, as if being stared at by a dragon." Jones described Li De's dragon power in the most detail.

After all, this was the only pressure he had ever felt personally.     "Albert, what do you think?" The old king asked his most valued son with a serious face.

"Very powerful, and very tricky!" Albert's face was also serious.

After all, this kind of crushing method is simply unheard of.

And the unknown is the most terrifying, because there is no way to deal with it.

In addition, the opponent's strength is somewhat beyond Albert's expectations.

Because Jones in front of him, before he became the president of the Adventurer's Union, was a comprehensive A-level strongman, and even two of his ability values ​​reached S-level.

"President Jones, you have received them before, what do you think of this group of people?" Albert asked after thinking for a while.

"Your Highness Albert, I am really ashamed. I originally thought that even if there was a gap between me and the S-level, it should not be big. But until I was reprimanded by one of them when I was receiving the other party, and felt the aura of the other party, I found that there was a world of difference between me and the other party." Jones lowered his head even deeper when he spoke.

When Jones finished speaking, the huge audience hall suddenly became quiet.

After a while of silence, Albert asked again: "Jones, the other party said that there is an S-level strongman in the palace, is that right?"

"Yes, Your Highness Albert, the other party did say so." Jones nodded.

"In other words, there is someone in the palace who was placed on the same level by the other party. Who could this person be?" Compared with Li De and others who have already been exposed, Albert is more worried about this strong man hidden in the palace.

"Albert, invite the other party in the name of the palace banquet." The old king instantly saw what his son was worried about.

After listening to his father's words, Albert knew that his father supported him.

Because as long as the other party accepts the invitation, the S-level strongman in the palace can no longer hide.

After all, if the S-level strongman hidden in the palace does not come out to receive him, the other party will definitely be dissatisfied.

"Father, isn't this a bit risky?" Although Albert was a little tempted, his reason was still online. After all, it was no joke to provoke 9 S-level people to go crazy.

"Albert, some things must be faced." The old king was more open-minded. After all, it is a blessing, not a disaster, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided.

Compared with slowly contacting later, inviting right away is a bit risky, but the risk is relatively smaller.

After all, the other party has just arrived. As long as there is no deep hatred, even if he is offended, he will leave room for it, not to mention that this is a well-intentioned invitation.

"Yes, I understand!" Albert nodded immediately.

After Albert discussed with his close ministers, the banquet was scheduled for three days later!

But before he could send an invitation from the palace, the information that a certain viscount had been turned into a stone statue after he offended someone in Li De's group at the Merchants' Guild was passed to Albert.

Looking at this information and the stone statue transported from the Merchants' Guild, Albert was still a little bit unbelievable.

If the dead family was not making a fuss, Albert would have thought it was a prank.

After all, he asked the guards to completely smash the stone statue of the guard, but he didn't find any trace of flesh and blood in it.

Not to mention the body, even the clothes worn outside were completely petrified, without any characteristics of cloth.

This kind of magic that turns people into stone is very deterrent.

The one who was petrified was a real noble.

The other party showed no consideration or reservation, which made Albert very uneasy and worried.

After asking the old king for instructions, the invitation was sent out of the palace.

Because this invitation could be used to test the attitude of Reed and others towards the Kingdom of Shalum.

If they come, it means there is still room for negotiation.

If they don't come, they have to prepare for it.

The next morning, Chelsea received the invitation from the palace from a nobleman at the gate.

"Sid, are you going?" After Chelsea brought the invitation in, Claire looked at it and asked Reed.

"Of course I will go. I can take this opportunity to confirm the current timeline." Reed nodded with a smile.

"Then Master, when will the assassination organization be dealt with?" Beta asked immediately, after all, she was a little impatient to get the new ability.

As for the lair of the assassination organization, with its powerful perception ability, even if it is in the underground sewer, it can't escape the detection of the women.

In fact, after searching the royal city again last night, the girls found the lair of the assassins.

"Let's go after the banquet. Although the replacement is not a blood transformation, it will definitely take time to adapt to the new ability after getting it, so there is no need to rush these two days." Li De said after thinking about it.

"Oh." Although Beta was a little disappointed, she didn't say much. Unless she didn't go to the banquet in the palace, she could only wait.

After all, she was not sure to promise Li De that she could master the new ability before the banquet three days later.

Because if she couldn't master it, she would randomly release the magic power with toxins at the banquet, which was not a joke.

So Li De's consideration was still very thoughtful.

In addition, for Li De, there was really no need to rush, anyway, there was plenty of time.

As for Beta's anxiety, it was not because of any hidden reason. In fact, her mood was a bit like a child who saw a new toy and was a little itchy.

Soon three days passed, and with the arrival of night, several royal carriages driving out of the palace arrived at the door of the mansion.

"Sid, do you want to go by carriage?" Claire, dressed in a gorgeous outfit, asked Reed.

"Although the other party is well-intentioned, it's better to refuse this time." Reed, wearing a slim red suit, shook his head.

"Then how do we get there? Do we need a sports car?" Beta asked.

"No, this is a magical world after all, so there is no need for technological creations. This time, give the other party something shocking." After saying that, Reed walked out the door.
