Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

On the dark blue night, there are twin moons and stars in the sky.

Under the bright starry sky, in the center of Kongqing Town next to the city lord's palace, the most prosperous commercial street is full of people and hustle and bustle.

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

Among them, there are also magic supplies shops, magic crafts shops, etc. with colorful signs.

At a glance, various shining signboards inlaid with light crystal stones and colorful signboards enchanted with small visual magic arrays complement each other, making people feel dizzying.

As the crowd surged, the voices of the mercenaries in the tavern were talking loudly, laughing and scolding, and the clinking of wine glasses mixed with the smell of burnt barbecue and freshly baked bread from the street food stalls, forming a bustling atmosphere. And the peaceful fireworks.

Such lively scenes have continued to this day since Lei Xiao became the Lord of Kongqing City.

Today, there are no more violent and vicious mercenaries on the streets. Instead, there are teams of garrison soldiers wearing shining armor and treating civilians with courtesy.

Among the dense crowds of people coming and going, a young woman who looked to be in her twenties walked lightly, surrounded by followers, blinking her big curious eyes, wandering around with interest.

She was seen wearing a simple khaki long dress, with thick slightly curly long hair tied into a neat single ponytail with Kongqing Town's unique cyan carved headband.

However, her fair face was dotted with a few light freckles, making her look slightly delicate.

This person is none other than Princess Ariel, who has undergone illusion magic to disguise her true appearance.

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

At this time, the Holy Light General Ju Bai, who had also undergone illusion disguise, followed closely behind with a vegetable basket in hand and whispered a reminder.

On the other side, a simple old man with gray hair also quickly followed him. It was the giant ax general Burt who had undergone illusion disguise.

Behind the three of them were their own strong men wearing illusion cloaks, Lin and Fang Hai, and the leisurely muscular priest Ye Cang.

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

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Ariel squeezed through the crowd 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 stall that was performing at the entrance of the tavern.

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

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

As a member of the Cold Flame royal family with the blood of Hero King Xi Sa flowing in his body.

No matter when or where you hear your ancestors being praised, it is naturally a matter of joy and pride.

"Speaking of which, 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.

Looking at the lively scene around her, Ariel curled her lips slightly, and in her mind, the image of an indifferent young man who wanted to be beaten could not help but emerge.

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

"Lord City Lord, that is our Lord City Lord!"

"Our City Lord is here! Everyone, please make way for the City Lord!"

"Lord City Lord, my admiration for you is as endless as a 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 point? Dad, I want to be a great hero like the Lord of the City and wipe out the traitors!"

…

Accompanied by excited voices, the dense crowd in front began to disperse to both sides.

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

This person is naturally none other than Lei Xiao.

"You really get what you want." Looking at Lei Xiao who was walking slowly 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 next to her has changed from her ancestor, the heroic king Xi Sa, to the young Lord of Kongqing City.

The most important thing is that not only is the singing more emotional, but the words of praise used are no less than before!

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

Hearing this, Ariel's mouth twitched, but she looked helpless.

However, looking at the smiles from the heart of the people around me.

She seemed to remember something again, her eyebrows furrowed, and her mood suddenly began to feel low.

At this moment, what emerged in Ariel's mind was the royal capital where everything was in a mess and black smoke was rising before leaving.

There is no doubt that, both in terms of scale and prosperity.

As the center of the entire Cold Flame, the royal capital can only be described as vastly different from this remote small town of Kongqing.

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

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

And all this, she, who is the weakest, is completely powerless and can't change anything.

Just when Ariel thought of this with some disappointment.

Lei Xiao was already passing by Ariel under the stars.

"Since we've almost finished shopping, let's go back." Immediately, a calm voice reached Ariel's ears.

"Hey, he is indeed a nasty guy. I have something to do with you. I'll see you later." On the other side, Ariel wrinkled her nose, then took the orange-white arm and left quickly.

…

Twenty minutes later, the hall of the city lord's mansion in Qingqing Town was empty.

Although it was already dark at present, the spacious hall inlaid with crystal stones was still as bright as day, so that people's reflections could even be clearly reflected on the smooth and shiny marble floor tiles.

Lei Xiao, who was sitting on the throne, turned his head slightly.

Looking at Ariel, who was still sitting on a luxurious seat not far away, which was obviously shortened by sawing, she smiled and said: "Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, are you looking for me?"

At this time, Ariel had dispelled the illusion disguise and returned to her graceful and luxurious look. Her flawless white cheeks faintly exuded an aura of arrogance unique to the royal family.

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

"That's right." She frowned slightly. Although she didn't want to do this, due to her position being too low, Ariel still looked up at Lei Xiao and continued, "I want to ask you something."

"Oh?" On the other side, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, tilted his head again, looked down at the shorter Ariel and said, "But it doesn't matter."

"It's nothing important." Ariel shrugged, trying her best to appear normal, and continued: "Since you have just agreed that I can move freely in the city.

So, if I want to visit the area around Kongqing Town, you won’t refuse, right? "

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

Thinking about this in his heart, Lei Xiao's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, as if he had gone through some inner struggle, and then said: "That's all, it's not impossible."

"Great!" Ariel looked overjoyed when she heard this, and immediately coughed a few times to cover up her joy, and said with a calm look: "As the Lord of Kongqing City.

Presumably the surrounding terrain should be very clear, right? "

"It's not bad." Lei Xiao smiled slightly and continued: "I wonder where my dear fifth prince, your highness, would like to go?"

There is no doubt that at this moment, Lei Xiao understands in his heart.

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

Although she has been able to confirm it, Ariel has not been able to determine the specific location of "that thing".

However, the other party must have corresponding clues in his hands.

And this is undoubtedly the information that Lei Xiao currently lacks.

"There's no specific location."

Not far away, Ariel smoothed her slightly curly black 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, seemingly inadvertently, and added: "Of course, it's not without requirements.

For example, the location is west of the river in the Shadow Forest, in a place with mountains and forests. By the way, it is best to have a town nearby so that the princess can find a place to rest when she is tired.

Regarding a place like this, do you have any good suggestions? "

After hearing Ariel's request, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

There is no doubt that if we don't get the information, Ariel is looking for "that matter".

So, there is obviously nothing wrong with this seemingly ordinary request.

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

"I have to say, once you react, it's really disturbing to watch Ariel's cliché performance."

Looking at Ariel blinking her big eyes, with a calm expression, and an expression of uncontrollable expectation, which she tried to suppress but couldn't help, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and began to think. .

"To the west of the river in the Demonic Forest, that is, on the plain where Kongqing Town is located, in this way, the forest area where the territory is located can be excluded."

At this time, Lei Xiao's brain was spinning rapidly, and he was thinking to himself: "Now that we have determined the location, it is on this side of Kongqing Town.

Then, there are undoubtedly only three places where there are towns as well as mountains and woods.

The first place is Magnet Town, which I just conquered today.

It is close to the endless Hyakubu Mountains and surrounded by acres of woods, which is very consistent with the clues.

The second place happens to be the town of Mailan that I have conquered and just visited.

It is located near the ruins of the ancient battlefield where Kunbu and others were rescued not long ago. It is also surrounded by mountains and dense forests. "

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

After taking complete control of Magnet Town today.

With Kongqing Town as the center, Mailan Town, which is the closest due south, and Magnet Town, which is the closest due north, undoubtedly form an invisible barrier.

This further ensures the security of the territory located in the forest.

Realizing this, Lei Xiao was overjoyed and brought his thoughts back to "that matter".

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

At this moment, Lei Xiao continued to think: "According to Lin, the location of Luolong City is quite special.

It is located on a pass built in the Baibu Mountains. It is quite similar to the narrow pass that the orc army entered into the forest and had been blocked by the own side with huge rocks.

However, the width of that pass is much larger, so Luolong City is a fortress city guarding this pass.

Because of this, both the size of its garrison and the number of strong men are much higher than those of ordinary towns. "

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and without hiding anything, he told Ariel all three locations in order to observe the other party's further reaction.

"I see, are there three locations that meet the requirements?"

On the other side, after hearing Lei Xiao's answer, Ariel subconsciously glanced at the two kingdom generals not far away.

Then he continued: "Have anything unusual happened in these three cities recently? For example, a sudden rampage of monsters, unknown monsters, or other crises?"

"Warcraft are rampant and unknown monsters appear?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in his heart: "It seems that this mysterious "thing" is quite dangerous. "

Realizing this, Lei Xiao seemed to inadvertently speak again: "My dear Fifth Princess, are you looking for something?

If you tell me, maybe I will help you find it. "

There is no doubt that the reason why Lei Xiao said this was to scare the tiger away and see what kind of reaction the other party would have next.

"Ah?" After hearing this, Ariel was stunned, quickly raised her hands and waved her hands, and said incoherently: "What are you looking for? This princess has never looked for anything.

It's just... I'm just afraid of danger in these places! "

After speaking, Ariel's big shining eyes blinked slightly, and as her eyes flickered, she secretly glanced here with some guilt, obviously checking Lei Xiao's reaction.

"Sure enough, he is a guy who is easy to see through." After noticing this, Lei Xiao tilted his head slightly and continued to ponder in his heart: "In this way, the matter has been further confirmed.

The "thing" Ariel is looking for must be somewhere around these three cities.

Moreover, it seems that there will be some danger signs. In this case, as long as I pay more attention to the situation around these three cities, I believe I will find out the clues soon.

By the way, we need to quickly inform Xuan Yue in Mailan Town and Nednet in Magnet Town to mobilize more manpower to increase the city's defense strength to prevent accidents. "

Thinking of this, looking at Ariel's unconcealed panic, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Dear Your Highness the Fifth Princess, I'm just asking casually.

Currently, according to the information I have, no changes have occurred in these three cities.

I wonder if Her Highness the Fifth Princess has chosen a specific "play" place in her mind? "

"Well... go back and allow this princess to think about it carefully!"

On the other side, seeing that Lei Xiao didn't seem to notice, Ariel first let out a sigh of relief, and then said: "When I, the princess, have thought about it, I will naturally let the Muscle Priest inform you."

"It seems that this guy is going back to discuss with the two kingdom generals." After hearing this, Lei Xiao didn't say anything else. He just shrugged slightly, indicating that the other party was casual.

At this time, just when everyone was preparing to leave.

A burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from far away and came from outside the hall door.

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

The crisp sound of armor clashing sounded, and Guan Zhong knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists at Lei Xiao and said, "Lord, I have important military information!"

After speaking, Guanzhong looked at the two kingdom generals and Ariel, and then looked at Lei Xiao.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao's nerves immediately became tense, and he immediately said, "But it doesn't matter."

At present, in a sense, I and Ariel are already in the same boat, so there is no need to avoid it.

"Lord, according to the report of a team of scouts who have just returned, the fortress city of Luolong City located in the northwest of us has billows of thick smoke. It is obviously in a state of emergency under attack!"

On the other side, Guan Zhong clasped his hands and reported without hesitation.

"What?!" Hearing this, Ariel and the two kingdom generals first started to look at each other.

After being stunned for two seconds, Ariel said with a look of disbelief: "The geographical location of Luolong City is very important. Could it be an alien attack from outside the Baibu Mountain Pass?!"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but look thoughtful.

If that's really the case.

Then, once Luolong City falls and the pass is opened, several of our own towns may also be attacked. At that time, things will be difficult to handle.

“But, according to Lin, there are no aliens living outside the pass.

For hundreds of years, Luolong City has never suffered any attack, but it was just a precautionary measure. Why did it suddenly break out? "

In confusion, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, smiled slightly and said: "That's all, let us see with our own eyes what happened there."
