Chapter 421: The meeting is held
I have to say that although the name of the "Ore House" selected by Helen is indeed a little weird, the quality of the service is really good. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as the two of them entered the hall, the malicious glances behind them were immediately blocked by the two guards standing at the doorway. A few mercenaries who tried to break into the hall were thrown out directly after being given clean uniforms by the two guards.
With the lessons of the past, the mercenaries who had already set their sights on Helen and Aisha immediately became honest and scattered one after another. But in the dark, there are still some people watching them. It's just that when these people saw the two guards standing at the door of the "Ore House", the malice in their eyes suddenly converged.
Although these two guards both have the strength of up to the seventh order, it is not difficult for those with bad intentions lurking in the shadows to find the person who can defeat these two guards.
However, just the two guards guarding the gate have such strength, and it is conceivable that the garrison in the "Ore House" will definitely be even stronger. So after weighing the pros and cons, these sneaky people also left here one after another.
No matter how touching the wealth is, you have to have that life to spend it.
Feeling the malice dissipate, Helen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. While wiping the cold sweat from her forehead, she said to Aisha with a wry smile, "Fortunately, I followed my father's advice and chose to live here." ”
Before the smiling Aisha could speak, a voice interjected.
"Well, I know how powerful your father is!"
Gray, who was walking into the hall, said with a smile: "Helen, Helen, although you have been very smart since you were a child, there are many things that you can't understand if you don't experience them yourself!" ”
"Hello Uncle Gray."
Aisha said with a smile as she saluted, while Helen glared at her father with a puffed face.
"Good, good."
After smiling and waving his hand, Gray, who ignored Helen who was standing aside, said with a smile: "Well, what about the two crowns who have been following you?" ”
Although Eve is also strong, she is obviously not strong enough for Gray to take her seriously.
After hearing Gray's words, Aisha beckoned to the corner, and at some point, a man in a gray cloak walked over slowly.
After untying the cloak, it was Teresa who was revealed.
"Because Sister Teresa's characteristics are so obvious, my father specially prepared this phantom cloak for her to avoid those unnecessary little troubles."
Aisha, who grabbed Teresa's right hand, said with a smile.
"Well, that's a good idea."
After glancing at the cloak in Teresa's hand, Gray nodded.
As an angel, Teresa was obviously inconvenient to walk in a country full of magicians. Not to mention the mages who were hostile to the priests, even the mages who were neutral would be curious about Teresa.
Among the vast majority of magicians who study madmen, there are definitely those who want to study the so-called angels. After all, for magicians without faith, everything about "gods" is a subject they would love to study.
With a smile on her face, Teresa nodded to Gray and stood behind Aisha. And for Teresa's coldness, Gray didn't have the slightest sense of surprise.
In his opinion, a strong person like Teresa should naturally have the pride of a strong man, so it is normal to be cold to him.
After all, you don't know each other.
After meeting Teresa, Gray began to look for Dior. Compared to Teresa, who is an angel, Gray obviously values Dio more.
However, after scanning the hall, Gray was surprised to find that Dio was not in the hall now.
But just as Gray was about to ask, Dio quietly walked in through the door.
When Dio appeared, the two guards who were standing on both sides of the gate subconsciously wanted to stop him. This is not because Dio is dressed very ordinary, but because of the trace of murderous intent that Dio carries on his body, so that the two guards subconsciously regard him as a dangerous element. But just as they were about to step forward, an unusually strong momentum pressed on them.
The two guards, who were intimidated by this momentum, immediately froze there, and watched Dio slowly walk in with some horror.
"Dio! Where did you go? ”
Aisha, who noticed Dio's appearance, immediately jumped forward and grabbed Dio's right hand.
At the moment when Aisha grabbed Dio's right hand, the two guards felt that the momentum pressing on them disappeared in an instant, which made the two guards who had been desperately resisting this momentum subconsciously take two steps back.
Cold sweat instantly wet their backs.
After the two guards who were apprehensive subconsciously glanced at each other, they both saw the look of jealousy in each other's eyes.
Legendary powerhouse!
Fortunately, the other party is not an enemy......
Well, but to be on the safe side, let's inform the boss!
That's fine.
After making eye contact, the two guards silently returned to their positions.
"Ah, I went to dispose of the garbage."
Dio, who didn't care about the low posture of the two guards, said to Aisha with a smile: "There are some things in the luggage that I prepared in advance, which are no longer needed." ”
"Really?"
After raising her eyebrows, Aisha, who didn't think much about it, frowned and said, "Let me tell you, Helen and I noticed just now, there are many, many mercenaries and adventurers in the city now......
Looking at Aisha and Dio, who were talking, Gray's brow furrowed slightly. He had been on the battlefield very keenly noticed that Dio still had a faint smell of blood on his body.
Thinking of what Dio had just said, Gray couldn't help but look at Dio deeply.
Obviously, the "garbage" in Dio's mouth is not some household waste or something.
After sighing with emotion, Gray looked at Aisha's eyes with a little envy.
He is doing everything possible to enhance his hard power, and what he wants to do most is to recruit a real legendary powerhouse for his family. No matter how big the price is, as long as there are legendary powerhouses who are willing to condescend, the overall strength of the Henderson family can immediately multiply several times!
It's a pity that all the legendary powerhouses that Gray has access to now who have not yet joined a certain family have all rejected his invitations without exception, which makes Gray very depressed.
And now, in front of Gray, there are two legendary powerhouses that he has always dreamed of.
It's a pity that it's all someone else's......
Thinking of this, Gray's eyes were full of envy and hatred when he looked at Aisha.
Envy, jealousy, jealousy, jealousy, hatred, knowing that his daughter has a fairly good relationship with Aisha, Gray naturally won't do anything superfluous. So after chatting with Aisha and the others for a while, Gray left first.
As the head of the Henderson family, he was very busy.
Aisha and Helen, who watched Gray leave, went to their predetermined room together.
In the following days, except for the occasional shopping on the street under the protection of Dio and others, Aisha and Helen stayed honestly in the "Ore House". This is not because they are not interested in the various local products of Thorde, but because there have been several attacks in Thorde City as the number of outsiders increases. So Aisha and Helen, who felt a little uneasy, didn't want to leave the "Ore House" very much.
Because of Dio's deterrence, the owner of the "Ore House" was taken aback, and immediately decided to temporarily strengthen the store's garrison. The two guards who were originally guarding the door were directly replaced by four eighth-order powerhouses, and the number of guards in the open and in the dark was also doubled.
Thanks to this move, although several groups of people tried to get into the "Ore House" these days, they were all neatly cleaned up by the guards.
So, although the number of "mercenaries" and "adventurers" in Thord City increased as the time of the emergency meeting drew closer, the "Ore House" was always as steady as a reef in the rapids.
Such a stable living environment has made the residents who have lived in the "Ore House" full of praise, and it has also invisibly improved the reputation of the "Ore House" by several grades.
This unexpected situation made the boss, who had always been a little uneasy, really a little crying and laughing.
Fortunately, on the day of the emergency meeting, Told's city finally calmed down.
The streets of Thord are filled with elite soldiers wearing the crest of the Fallon family, and under the watchful eye of these soldiers, any fool who dares to cause trouble on this day will be thrown out of the city.
It was under the pressure of the Fallon family that all the mercenaries and adventurers were honest.
"Tut-tut, the Fallons! What a majesty! ”
Helen, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at the soldiers standing on the street through the window and said with disdain.
Judging from this situation, the Fallon family could have sent troops to suppress those outsiders who were about to move, but they waited until today to attack in one fell swoop, obviously because the drunkard did not mean to drink.
"However, I have to say that they have done a very effective job."
Aisha said helplessly: "Under the deterrence of this military force, I am afraid that when everyone officially faces the Grand Duke of Thunder, they will subconsciously feel that they have been shorter." ”
"This kind of military situation is really bluffing."
Helen sneered: "But in my opinion, such a small action is an indirect proof that the Grand Duke of Thunder does not have enough confidence in his own strength!" ”
If you really believe that your strength is enough to subdue everyone, why do you need to make such a small move?
"Isn't the Flame Grand Duke, who is as strong as his predecessor, also assassinated?"
After sighing, Aisha said, "And the strength of the Thunder Grand Duke is only between the two compared to the previous Flame Grand Duke. Therefore, the strength of the Thunder Grand Duke is not enough to ensure his own safety, but this strong military force can! ”
"You mean to say?"
Helen looked at Aisha with some surprise.
"Hmm."
Aisha nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, the reason why he put on such a military posture and gave everyone a dismount is probably just incidental." The real intention of the Grand Duke of Thunder is probably to prove that he has a strong enough force to serve as the supreme commander. ”
"So, isn't the situation of Senior Sister Karen's very bad?"
Helen frowned.
Kalian, who has not yet fully integrated the Stanfield family, obviously has no way to come up with a force comparable to this kind of military strength. In this way, the balance of victory and defeat will obviously be greatly tilted in favor of the Thunder Grand Duke.
"Alas, I don't know if Sister Karen has any way to deal with it."
After sighing, Aisha fell silent as she looked out the window.
The carriage carrying the two of them slowly came to its destination in this slightly heavy atmosphere.
This large building, temporarily requisitioned by the Grand Duke of Thunder, was used for the Royal Theatre for opera performances. Only in this kind of place can there be enough space to accommodate the nobles who came from all over the country.
When Aisha and Helen entered, nearly sixty percent of the people were already seated in the huge venue. Most of the nobles who were close to each other were now gossiping.
To the surprise of Aisha and Helen, Karen, who was supposed to be the last to enter, was already sitting in one of the four positions at the front.
"Aisha! Helen! You're finally here! ”
Karen smiled and beckoned to Aisha and Helen, "If you don't mind, you can sit down with me." ”
Hearing this, Aisha immediately ran over with a smile, and Helen hesitated for a moment before walking slowly.
Compared to where they should be sitting in their current status, the position behind Karen's position is obviously much higher. But rights and obligations are inseparable, and after sitting in this position, it means that you have to advance and retreat with Kalian.
That's why Helen hesitated. Fortunately, Gray, who is the head of the Henderson family, is also here, so Helen can sit behind Karenne in her own name.
After Aisha and Helen sat down, Dio and the others, who had been quietly following Aisha, also walked over and sat directly behind Aisha.
As time went on, more and more people entered the venue. Just when nearly eighty percent of the seats were already seated, a rather tall figure suddenly appeared at the gate, and a rather strong momentum suddenly swept the entire venue.
It's the Grand Duke of Thunder, Robert Fallon!
