After hearing the order, the two guards neatly untied the rope on the box, and the curiosity of Lei Xiu and the others was also fully mobilized, and their eyes stared at the box without blinking. After a while, after all the ropes were untied, one of the guards jerked the box cloth, and the contents were immediately displayed in front of everyone's eyes.

"Shhh

No, it should be said that it was attracted by what was in the cage.

A blue-gray feather is like a sword feather, exuding a hard texture under the reflection of the sun, the body that is more than two meters high does not look bloated at all, but has a streamlined beauty, the beak angle is hook-shaped, and there is a beak sleeve on it, a pair of gray eyes are bright as if they will glow, and they are full of majesty.

Looking at everyone's sluggish appearance, Han Boke smiled proudly, "Hehehehe, yes, this is a horned eagle given to me by the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom Business Group, it has been tamed and can be ridden, its speed is much faster than that of an airship, Lei Xiu, you can ride it to the imperial capital with the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom Business Group, they will set off tomorrow, and they can reach the imperial capital in three days." ”

Lei Xiu turned his head and shouted excitedly, "Really? Grandpa Hanboke, can I really ride it to the imperial capital?"

"Well, this kind of horned eagle is a kind of bird monster unique to the ancient country of Tianfeng, because it is a primary demonic beast, so it can be domesticated without signing a contract, which is relatively rare, but I can't give it to you, I have promised to give it to my little granddaughter, you can help me give it to her after you ride it to the imperial capital, she is one year older than you and is studying at the Breaking Heaven Academy. ”

Lei Xiu happily agreed, and then took a few steps forward, just in time to meet the eyes of the horned eagle.

Probably because of its unfamiliarity, the horned eagle looked at Lei Xiu with a wary look in his eyes, and there was a hint of ferocity, but because the beak horns were covered, it could only let out a low hum.

Looking at Lei Xiu's intent, Han Boke smiled, "Okay, I'll let the people from the Heavenly Wind Ancient Kingdom teach you how to ride it in a while, now go back with me first." ”

After hearing Hanbock's words, Lei Xiu answered, and then turned around after reluctantly glancing at the Horned Eagle again.

As she walked along the road, Wei Ya asked respectfully, "Lord Hanboke, is the Heavenly Wind Ancient Kingdom the country near the Holy Light Empire? They seem to have a long history, and they were once the suzerains of the Holy Light Empire, right?"

Han Boke smiled and nodded, "Yes, it is this Tianfeng Ancient Country, you should know that the strongest national power on the Deep Blue Continent today is the three major empires, our Bauhinia Empire occupies a large area of land in the central and eastern regions, as for the Holy Light Empire, it is in the southeast, and the last one is the Cold Moon Empire in the north, there are many small countries around these three empires, and the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom is one of them, it is located in the southwest of the Holy Light Empire. ”

"The history of the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom is very long, it was once the overlord of this continent, even the Holy Light Empire used to be able to survive under its wings, but after a turmoil, the vitality of the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom was greatly damaged, and the Holy Light Empire sprung up, not only occupied four-fifths of the territory of the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom in thirty years, but also gathered all the people of the original Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom, forcing them to believe in the Holy Light Divine Cult, although the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom counterattacked many times, but was suppressed by the Holy Light Empire, and finally had to surrender, after so many years, it is now just a small country with a population of less than one million。 ”

After a pause, Hanbok sighed, "It's really ironic to say that the former suzerainty has become the current vassal country, but since the Holy Light Empire became the most powerful country in the southeast, the life of the Heavenly Wind Ancient Kingdom has been very sad, and many resources have been exploited and oppressed by the Holy Light Empire, so that they have to come to the Bauhinia Empire to purchase food, steel, and some daily necessities. ”

Speaking of this, Han Boke looked at Lei Xiu with a strange look in his eyes, "But Lei Xiu, speaking of which, your appearance is very similar to that of the people of the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom, black hair and black eyes, these are the physiognomy characteristics of the people of the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom." ”

Lei Xiu was stunned when he heard this, and said in amazement, "Yes, I have never met anyone from the Heavenly Wind Ancient Kingdom, and my mother has never told me where my father is from. ”

Nodding slightly, Han Boke said, "Then do you want to know about your father?" If you want to know, I can ask someone from the Tianfeng Business Group to help you inquire." ”

Frowning and thinking for a while, Lei Xiu shook his head and said, "No need, if Mother wanted to tell me, she would have said it a long time ago, since she didn't say it, there must be a reason, I'd better wait for her to tell me in person." ”

Hanbock smiled, "That's fine, sometimes it's better not to know than to know, you let your friends go back, and I'll take you to meet the people of the Tianfeng Business Group." ”

Hearing Hanbock's words, Wei Ya and the others immediately knew the opportunity to leave, and left after making an appointment with Lei Xiu to say goodbye, while Lei Xiu followed behind Hanbock and came to his office again.

After waiting inside, there was a knock on the door, and then two men with black hair and black eyes walked in side by side, led by a waiter.

One of them, a middle-aged man with an older age and an elegant and elegant appearance, laughed familiarly as soon as he entered the door, "Hehehehe, Chief Hanbock, I don't know what to call us?"

Han Boke stretched out one hand flatly, and said with a warm smile, "Mr. Qin Mo and Mr. Liu Gang, please take a seat, you don't dare, but this time I really want the two of you to help." ”

After the two sat down, another man with a pale face and a fierce aura all over his body spoke, "Lord Hanbock, you called us over this time, it can't be that there is a problem with that shipment, right?"

Han Boke waved his hand and smiled, "Mr. Liu Gang said with a smile, there is absolutely no problem with the goods, it's just a little favor and I hope you two can help, this young man is the grandson of a friend of mine, he has just been admitted to Shenyuan Academy this year, I want to ask the two of you to help me carry him over when I go to the imperial capital this time, I also lent him the horned eagle you gave me, if you can, please find someone to guide him in riding the horned eagle." ”

When the two men heard this, their faces relaxed at the same time, and the elegant man smiled even more, "I thought it was a big deal, I want to bother your chief manager to come forward in person, it turns out to be this little thing, no problem, this little brother seems to be also from our Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom, and he can be admitted to Shenyuan Academy, which shows that his qualifications are good, what is your name, which city is it?"

Lei Xiu nodded politely and said, "Hello two gentlemen, my name is Lei Xiu, I grew up in the Bauhinia Empire, and I actually don't know if I am from the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom, but I can get the help of the two of you this time, I am very grateful." ”

Qin Mo smiled kindly, "It's not in the way, it's just a matter of raising your hands, but little brother Lei Xiu, you are nine times out of ten the bloodline of our Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom, because only our people from the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom will have black hair and black eyes, since you are a descendant of Tianfeng, then there is no problem, I will send someone to teach you the skills of riding a horned eagle in a while." ”

Lei Xiu was overjoyed, got up again and thanked him, and then Qin Mo and Han Boke chatted for a long time before leaving, and after a while, a young man from the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom came to the office, Lei Xiu immediately said goodbye to Han Boke, and followed the young man to the playground to learn to ride a horned eagle.

It didn't take much effort to learn how to control the horned eagle, because the horned eagle given to Hanbock by the Tianfeng Merchant Group was itself tamed, and as long as he knew some skills, he could go straight to the clouds, and Lei Xiu had extremely strong physical fitness and a good sense of balance, so he mastered the trick in less than an hour.

However, Lei Xiu, who had just ridden the horned eagle, was reluctant to give up on the feeling of flying in the blue sky, and although he was a little uncomfortable at first, it didn't take long for him to overcome his fear of flying for the first time, and he flew on the horned eagle for a long time, until the young man who taught him gestured three times before returning to the ground.

As soon as he landed, this young man who was three or four years older than Lei Xiu and was called Mu Feng was a little unhappy and said, "Lei Xiu, you learn very quickly, but you don't save the physical strength of the Horned Eagle, you must not do this in the future, if the Horned Eagle is exhausted in the air, you will be very dangerous." ”

Lei Xiu humbly apologized, "Brother Mufeng, I'm sorry, I won't be like this in the future, this is my first time flying, and I can't control it, this feeling of flying in the sky is really good." ”

Mu Feng smiled and nodded, and said with deep feelings, "Yes, I understand your feelings, you are the same as when I first rode the Horned Eagle, if it wasn't for the master calling me, I would have liked not to come down all the time, but you still have to pay attention to it, although our Horned Eagle has been tamed, it is a magical beast after all, and the wildness is difficult to completely get rid of, you must keep in mind the techniques I taught you, and appease its emotions from time to time, so as to ensure your safety to the greatest extent." ”

Lei Xiu smiled confidently, "Okay, don't worry, I've memorized it all, when will we leave tomorrow?"

"It should be nine o'clock in the morning, you go first, go pack your luggage, I'll feed this horned eagle and go back, remember to come here early tomorrow." ”

After thanking Mu Feng for a while, Lei Xiu returned to Han Boke's office, and when the chief manager of the Divine Thunder Building saw him, he asked with a smile, "How is it, have you already learned?"

Lei Xiu smiled with satisfaction, "Well, I've learned it, it's really great, Grandpa Hanbock, if you can, can you talk to the people of the Heavenly Wind Ancient Kingdom, and let them sell me a horned eagle?"

Han Boke pointed at Lei Xiu and said helplessly, "I knew you would tell me this, but you are too unidealistic, the Horned Eagle is a primary Warcraft, but it is easy to domesticate, why do you have to get an intermediate Warcraft in the future, right?"

Lei Xiu's eyes lit up, and he nodded again and again, "Yes, a higher-level demonic beast must be more exciting to ride than a horned eagle, haha, okay, then I'll be in place at once, and I will get a high-level demonic beast to tame it later." ”

Hanbock shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Intermediate Warcraft can't be tamed, they can only be made to recognize their owners by signing a contract, the wisdom of high-level Warcraft is not much different from that of ordinary humans, and it is even more rare to subdue one, not to mention that flying Warcraft are more rare and precious than ordinary Warcraft, I can't help you with this, but your Grandpa Roger may have a way." ”

Lei Xiu asked curiously, "Why? Could it be that Grandpa Roger even has a knack for subduing demonic beasts?"

Haha, Han Burke said, "Wait until you meet him again and ask him yourself, I won't tell you, you have to leave tomorrow, hurry back to the hotel and pack your luggage." ”

When Lei Xiu heard this, he had no choice but to say goodbye to Han Boke, and then borrowed the carriage of the Shenlei Building to return to the Star Hotel, and as soon as he got off the car, he went straight to the Messiah's room, and it happened that Wei Ya and Tangtang were both at this time, so he told him about his departure tomorrow.

Messiah first breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since you can go to the imperial capital on time, I will rest assured, we are also tomorrow's airships, but it will take five days to reach the imperial capital, you are two days faster than us, you must be careful on the way!"

Patting the Messiah on the shoulder, Lei Xiu smiled, "Don't worry, I'm on the road with the Tianfeng Business Group, there will be no danger, I will live in the Shenlei Tower after I arrive in the imperial capital, and I will go to the airship station to pick you up on the day you arrive, I will go back to clean up now, and we will have lunch together later." ”

After speaking, Lei Xiu was about to leave the room, but Wei Ya frowned, and suddenly said, "Wait, I can't think about this matter, do you think this incident is really done by the Jade Family?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and they all looked at Wei Ya, Lei Xiu even stopped, and said with a surprised face, "Could it be that there are others?"

Wei Ya crossed her arms around her chest, and said with a gloomy face, "Although the external deacons of each family have a lot of power, but after all, they are only the grassroots members of the family, and they can even be said to be subordinates, that guy knows that you are a person from the Shenlei Building, and he dares to directly use means to prevent you from going to the imperial capital without informing the family leaders, this is no longer something that an external deacon can do, without the instructions of the family leaders, he should not have the courage, and we have no deep hatred with him, can he use his future to trap us?"

Messiah said thoughtfully, "You mean, someone deliberately blamed the Emerald family for this matter, wanting to cause us and the Divine Thunder Tower to be dissatisfied with the Emerald family?"

Wei Ya sneered, "Yes, if it is just me and Tangtang's family, naturally we don't dare to have any hostility towards the Jade Family, even if we suffer losses, we can only endure it, because the size difference between our two sides is too great, but the Shenlei Building is different, behind the Shenlei Tower is the Golden Kite Family, this is a wealthy family that is three points stronger than the Jade Family!"

At this time, Lei Xiu also realized the strangeness of the problem, and couldn't help frowning, "But except for the Jade Family, we haven't provoked anyone, is it that Allen again?"

At this time, Tangtang suddenly stood up with a pale face, lowered his head with guilt on his face and said, "I'm sorry, I think I should know who did it, this incident is all caused by me." ”

Looking at Lei Xiu and Messiah with surprised faces, Sugar Candy bit her lip and was about to speak, but Wei Ya's voice sounded one step ahead of her.

"Is it Horton?"

Looking at Wei Ya with a calm face, Sugar Candy nodded with a wry smile, "To be precise, it should be Maltai, in fact, I understood as soon as you said it just now, do you remember what Lord Hanbock once said? Airship Line also has two small shareholders in Dawn City, one of them is Harris, the richest man in the city, and the other is Matthew, the deputy city lord, this Matthew is from the Emalo family, and Matthew is Matthew's son. ”
