The sudden change made the atmosphere freeze instantly.
Algernon's back was straight, and on his resolute and majestic face, a cold cold light revealed from his gray eyes, staring at the rude and presumptuous "subordinate" in front of him, but something surprising happened to him!
The other party did not show any panicked behavior, not only that, but even the maids and "masters" beside him still maintained a calm demeanor, as if they had turned a blind eye to his sudden turn of face and turned a deaf ear.
"Lord Algernon."
At this time, Xia Lan slowly reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist and smiled at the other party.
"Sometimes your rules don't work everywhere."
Seeing Xia Lan's dangerous situation, several strange figures around him suddenly nervously drew their blades and forced them towards each other.
"You're not a subordinate."
Algernon said with a solemn expression.
"Inferior?"
Xia Lan chuckled, and out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the stranger figure who was gradually approaching around her, and suddenly let out a cold snort!
In an instant, a majestic and extremely oppressive aura surged and raged throughout the banquet room, only to hear the sound of several blades falling to the ground, and several strangers surrounded by Xia Lan had already fallen to the ground in horror and pain.
"Superior Swordsman!"
A stranger who had fallen let out an exclamation.
A swordsman of the upper ranks?
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Xia Lan, who looked calm, and Pandelia, who was sitting in front of him, was no exception, maybe she didn't expect that the man who saved her would actually be a strong man at the top of Elderlan's power class!
Winnie stared at Xia Lan secretly with wide eyes, she hadn't known Xia Lan for a long time, although she knew that he was a very powerful swordsman, but she never thought that he would be so powerful! This is a real big man who is hard to meet in reality!
"A superior swordsman? It's an unbelievable fact. ”
The corners of Algernon's eyes twitched, because the other party did not let the terrifying aura lock on everyone indiscriminately, so he could sit in place properly, otherwise he would have been paralyzed to the ground like his secret subordinates by now.
I wanted to shock and beat the other party, but who would have thought that the result would be that they were severely shocked and beaten.
What if the other party is a subordinate? So what is he a small town city guard officer? If he wanted to kill himself, he wouldn't worry about the consequences at all! Because Viscount Farrant would not offend a high-ranking powerhouse because of his small person!
However, Algernon has a better psychological quality than ordinary people.
After his brain quickly sorted out the situation and forced it to calm down, he thought of a question.
Why did this man hide his strength? And judging from the surprise that his "master" had just expressed, she seemed to be equally kept in the dark and unaware.
"Miss, I'm sorry I've been hiding my strength, but this is what your father told me before leaving."
Xia Lan ignored the others, but said to Pandelia in front of her with a solemn face.
What kind of drama is this?
Pandelia under the white cloak wanted to question him so loudly, but since the other party said such a thing, he naturally had his own reasons, remembering Xia Lan's advice to them before leaving the hotel, not to act rashly under any circumstances, and only to nod when answering.
Come to think of it, this man has already planned a qiē!
So let me see what kind of funny lies you'll weave next!
Pandelia thought to herself, and after nodding in response, she began to be silent as usual.
Algernon listened to the words of the man in front of him word for word, and the two keen keywords "Miss" and "Father" immediately reminded him of a lot of information.
What kind of person can hire a high-ranking powerhouse for personal protection? This question does not need to be thought about, Algernon can roughly guess that the "father" behind this mysterious apothecary will definitely not be simple!
At the same time, he knew why that man did not have the slightest consciousness of being a "subordinate", because the pride of a high-ranking powerhouse would make them a "subordinate"?
"Looks like I ruined your well-prepared banquet!"
At this moment, Charan turned his gaze to Algernon, who was in the main seat.
"Hehe......" Algernon forced a smile and greeted him, "I don't think the banquet was ruined by you, but because of your deposit, my banquet has added a more brilliance." ””
"It's a strange thing for me."
After hearing Algernon's flattering words, Xia Lan smiled indifferently: "With your sleek world, it is hard to imagine that you will be placed in such a desolate frontier town. ”
Perhaps ordinary people could hear the sarcasm in Charan's words, but Algernon's eyes lit up, because he heard the more subtle lines in the other party's words.
"Ahh
Algernon pretended to sigh bitterly: "Back then, I was just a small servant by Viscount Farrant's side, and I have been able to come to this day thanks to the Viscount's grace, although I have gained a lot of knowledge by Viscount Farrant's side, but there are more capable subordinates under Viscount Lord's command, since I was sent here by Lord Viscount to take charge of the security affairs of the caravan six years ago, I have begun to slowly fade out of the Viscount's field of vision......"
"A mediocre person is indeed easy to forget." Xia Lan nodded.
"Yes......" Algernon sighed in his heart, "I have conscientiously completed everything that the Viscount has commanded over the years, and I thought that the Viscount would look at me differently because of this, but after all these years, I am still just an insignificant little person in the heart of the Viscount......"
"That's why you invited my young lady today, am I right?"
Xia Lan snorted coldly.
If you hadn't taken the initiative to start the conflict at the city gates, it would probably not have happened!
Algernon thought in his heart, but his words were still respectful: "Your Excellency is wise, I can't hide this little thought from your eyes at all. ”
"What if the merits of a mid-level pharmacist can't make Viscount Farrant value you? Have you ever thought of this result? Xia Lan said flatly.
When Algernon heard this, a cold sweat suddenly broke out behind his back.
Seeing Xia Lan's appearance as if he was smiling, Algernon was ruthless and directly said his other purpose.
"Don't tell you, your lord, because the young lady you are guarding has been shrouded in a cloak and is silent, and this aspect is indeed a place where suspicion can easily be aroused, and we happened to receive an order to search for a fugitive not long ago, and the fugitive ......"
"Do you suspect that our young lady is the fugitive?" Xia Lan coldly interrupted the other party's words.
"Your Excellency, don't be angry." Algernon quickly explained: "This is just our unilateral speculation......
"In that case, do you want to see the true face of our young lady?"
Xia Lan stared at Algernon and said suddenly. (To be continued.) )
