Chapter 458: An Olive Branch from Lady Isabella
As if having done something for granted, Panlania returned to Ruan Chi, knelt down on one knee and said, "From today onwards, I, Panlanya. Munich is willing to obey you, please ask your name. โ
Ruan Chi tilted his head to look at the Pirate King in front of him, touched his chin and smiled: "My name is Ruan Chi, you are also very refreshing, as soon as you saw that it was not my opponent, you immediately killed Pandra with the water, I appreciate your idea of judging the situation, but ......"
When Ruan Chi said "but", Panlanya's shoulders shook obviously.
"I don't like people who pretend to be smart, and if you dare to make small moves in the future, I don't mind killing you." Ruan Chi continued.
Hearing this, Pan Lanya hurriedly bowed her head and said, "Of course, Lord Ruan Chi!" โ
Ruan Chi deliberately left Panlania's life, the purpose was naturally to let him lead the way to find Haihuangdao, this guy is a pirate, and he should be familiar with the nearby seas.
In order for Panlania to be obedient in the future, Ruan Chi didn't mind exposing his strength a little, and his eyes fell on the building that originally belonged to the Flying Fish Pirate Group not far away.
"Titan Armament - Fourth Form!"
The golden flames quickly formed a huge rocket cannon barrel, and in order to increase the power, Ruan Chi also unleashed the Gaia Battle Qi, and then aimed at the building three or four hundred meters away in Panlaneya's surprised gaze.
"Boom!"
As soon as the Titan Arrow was launched, a blue ray of light with a swishing arc struck it, instantly blowing the large building away and slicing off a layer of nearby land.
โโฆโฆโ
Panrania's mouth opened slightly, and large beads of sweat ran down his forehead, but he also understood. The three pirate kings, including himself, did not complain about losing this time.
Ruan Chi's body erupted with purple-red Gaia's battle aura, not to mention. Just a thunderous means of blowing up a large building with one shot. Pan Lanya basically regarded Ruan Chi as a king-level, even close to a god-level powerhouse.
This kind of character, in those inland countries, is either the chief master of the king's side, or the guest elders of some big families.
The reason why the Apollo pirates have been crisscrossing the Gulf of Aden for nearly a hundred years is that in addition to their innate naval superiority, more importantly. Their threat power did not have a particularly strong impact on the large landlocked powers, at least, not enough to attract the attention of the Free Federation.
For example, the Free Federation back then, although it still sent troops to encircle and suppress it in the end, it did not send a master like Ruan Chi, otherwise the Free Federation only needed to send a bloody knight back then, and the Apollo pirates would have been destroyed long ago.
However, a god-level powerhouse like the Bloody Hand Knight naturally couldn't deal with a group of pirates in person. That's why the Apollo pirates grew and thrived today.
It's a pity that their good luck is destined to come to an end today, as soon as Ruan Chi's evil star arrives. The three largest pirate groups, the Flying Fish, the Trappers and the Ghost Child, were wiped out in less than half a day.
As for the other small and medium-sized pirate gangs on the Apollo Peninsula, Ruan Chi was not interested, and after letting Panlanya stay on the island and wait for his life, he returned directly to the base camp of the Ghost Son.
Half an hour later.
Including the second son of the Zuan Chamber of Commerce, all the hostages captured by the pirates were on Captain Kasia's fishing boat.
When Lady Isabella and the middle-aged knight saw Ruan Chi returning safely with so many people, they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.
After settling the hostages, although this made the fishing boats more crowded, Captain Kasia was still relieved, he didn't know that Ruan Chi had eliminated the three major pirate groups that had been crisscrossing the waters of the Gulf of Aden for many years in just half a day, and the reason why he was relieved was simply because he had finally begun to leave this dangerous place.
After another half a day, the fishing boat finally returned to the port in the Gulf of Aden.
Where, there are already many people waiting, among them, the president of the Zuan Chamber of Commerce, Cabberding. Zaun also came, and when he learned that his son had been saved, he wept with joy, but when Lady Isabella told him that his son's genitals had been cut off, he fainted on the spot.
But in general, because of Ruan Chi's sideways, this farce finally came to an end, and as the biggest beneficiary of this time, Lady Isabella expressed her gratitude and personally invited Ruan Chi to her lord's mansion to stay.
Of course, Ruan Chi was not polite, he ate a lot of food in the lord's mansion that night, and took a beautiful hot bath under the service of several maids.
I have to say that the aristocracy really knows how to enjoy it, not only can they eat big fish and meat at every meal, but even take a bath with a few beautiful cuties to help brush their backs.
Ruan Chi believed that if he wanted to, even those maids could be dragged to bed casually, and Lady Isabella would probably be even happier.
"No wonder everyone wants to be a nobleman, being rich is capricious!"
After taking a shower, Ruan Chi lay lazily on the bed, opened the task bar to sort out the tasks, and now he still has three unfinished tasks at hand.
The first is a follow-up to the main quest "Legacy of the Titans", looking for a place called the Kraken Rift, which is located in the same area as Neptune, in the waters of the Bitter Sea.
The second is the second career mission, to find a guy named Angel in Haihuangdao, and the content of the mission is not known for the time being.
The third task is more funny, it is the task of overthrowing Jia Na's classmate, Ruan Chi glanced at it and ignored it directly.
After closing the task bar, Ruan Chi touched his chin and thought about it, the locations of the inheritance mission and the career mission are in the sea area of the bitter sea, which is convenient, as for whether to go to Neptune Island or the Kraken Rift first, Ruan Chi has not decided for the time being.
"Tuk Tuk!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door, but the person who pushed the door in was Jialan.
"What's the matter?" Ruan Chi asked.
"Lady Isabella invites you to her study." Jialan said lightly.
"Did you say you were looking for me?" Ruan Chi asked curiously.
"She didn't say it." Jialan replied.
Although there were some doubts, Ruan Chi thought about it and decided to go to the study to meet Lady Isabella, after all, this was her mansion.
Jialan was only responsible for informing Ruan Chi, and when Ruan Chi walked out of the door, except for An Peiqi. There is still a man standing somewhere. It was the middle-aged knight beside Lady Isabella.
This man was wounded while clearing pirates. However, with his tough body, he was no longer in a big deal after coming back for simple treatment and bandaging.
Seeing Ruan Chi come out, the middle-aged knight looked quite humble, put one hand on his chest, put the other hand on his waist, bowed and said, "I'm sorry warrior, disturbing your rest, my wife is invited." โ
Ruan Chi nodded. Then the middle-aged knight led him to Lady Isabella's study, the middle-aged knight knocked on the door for Ruan Chi and did not go in, Jialan and An Peiqi also stayed outside.
Individually?
Ruan Chi had such a thought in his heart, and he didn't ask why, and walked in directly.
As soon as he entered the study, he first smelled a very good aroma, which Ruan Chi felt a little familiar, and found that the smell was the same as the smell of the herb sachet that Lady Isabella had given him.
It seems that this lady Isabella has a soft spot for the smell of herbs.
The area of the study was not large, and Ruan Chi walked through behind a draped curtain. Then he looked at Lady Isabella, who was sitting at the desk.
She seemed to have just finished bathing, and was not wearing the same lady's dress as she had been during the day. Instead, he changed into a set of relatively simple loungewear, the silk fabric was close to the skin, and under the reflection of the magic oil lamp, a mature and sexy body was outlined, and the purple hair that was originally coiled up was also casually draped on the chest, and the face inadvertently revealed a trace of lazy color.
A hint of surprise flashed in Ruan Chi's eyes.
I have to say that the beautiful woman in front of her is really tasteful, different from the wolf Bรจi who was held hostage by pirates when they first met, the lady Isabella in front of her is her true face, and her whole body reveals a dignified and noble temperament from her bones, the female lord of Aden City.
"Warrior, you're here?"
Seeing Ruan Chi walk in, Mrs. Isabella hurriedly stood up, her voice containing a taste of surprise. When she approached with a dazzling smile on her face, the hem of her skirt swayed, and her two beautiful legs with white flowers loomed, which made her fascinated.
"What's the matter with Madame?" Ruan Chi asked calmly, and at the same time took a step back slightly, and intuitively told him that the beautiful woman in front of him would not come to him for no reason, and she would meet alone in the study.
Lady Isabella maintained a charming smile, the look of amazement that flashed in Ruan Chi's eyes just now, she could see it clearly, she was too familiar with men.
Beauty has always been one of her skills on this cruel political stage, and this is also one of the capitals given to her by God, otherwise it would not be easy for her to rule the city of Aden as a woman.
She deliberately dressed like this tonight, naturally to attract the attention of the powerful teenager in front of her, of course, Lady Isabella has her own bottom line, she is not the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals.
Unlike those men who wanted to strip her naked after seeing his true face, the young man in front of him, although there was also amazement in his eyes, but when he took the initiative to approach him just now, he took a step back slightly, with a look of obvious vigilance on his face.
This move made Lady Isabella wonder if her charm had waned.
"Warrior, this time I ordered someone to call you over, in fact, to give you a small gift, in order to thank you for eliminating the pirates entrenched in the Apollo Peninsula, and also to rescue the son of Paul of the Zuan Chamber of Commerce." Lady Isabella smiled slightly, turned back to her desk, opened the drawer inside, and took out a small delicate wooden box.
Is it necessary to meet alone for gifts?
Regarding the excuse that Mrs. Isabella said, Ruan Chi was a little sneering in his heart, how to see that the woman in front of him would not find her purpose so simple.
However, when he heard that there was a gift for him, Ruan Chi still pretended to be surprised on the surface: "Madam is really too polite, it is the duty of adventurers like us to destroy those pirates and save people." โ
"The warriors are polite, the Apollo pirates have always been a cancer in our Gulf of Aden, for hundreds of years, no one can eradicate them, but the warriors only took half a day to solve it, this ability alone is amazing."
Lady Isabella spoke again with a flattering remark, and at the same time opened the little wooden box, and in a moment a soft and melodious music sounded in the study.
This small wooden box turned out to be a music box.
Ruan Chi was slightly stunned, he thought that the beautiful woman in front of him would give him ordinary money or gems as a reward, but he didn't expect to give a music box in the end.
The music is very good, but I'm a big man, so what is such a music box for?
Lady Isabella naturally saw the surprise on Ruan Chi's face, and said with a smile: "I know that you adventurers like novel food, I thought about it for a long time, and I think this thing is very suitable for you, it is a treasure that I accidentally obtained in the underground auction house in the early years, although there is no magic core, and there is no magic, but it is very strange, it can make a very beautiful sound." โ
No, I think it's better for you to send me money.
Although Ruan Chi said this in his heart, he still took the music box handed over by Lady Isabella with a smile on his face.
This music box is carved from a single piece of wood, and the workmanship is very beautiful, but it is really useless for a big man like Ruan Chi.
Just when Ruan Chi was a little disappointed, a logo on the music box attracted his attention.
The logo is a bird with wings spread, surrounded by green leaves, Ruan Chi looked at it again and again, and after confirming that he was not mistaken, he grabbed the music box and flipped it over.
Madeinghuaxia
"......" saw this text engraved on the music box, Ruan Chi was instantly speechless.
Lady Isabella saw the change in Ruan Chi's expression, and asked a little curiously, "Warrior, do you see the purpose of this box?" โ
Hearing Lady Isabella's inquiring voice, Ruan Chi coughed lightly and said, "I don't know what it's for, but I'm curious, where did Madame get this music box?" โ
"Music box, so it's called a music box?" When Lady Isabella heard this, she was even more sure that Ruan Chi knew the purpose and origin of this wooden box, and at the same time replied: "This box was obtained by me at an auction held at the Viking Underground Exchange, and the auctioneer at that time said that the box was a gift from the knight king Messeliban to his beloved woman a thousand years ago. โ
Hearing the name of the Knight King Meseliban, Ruan Chi's eyes obviously flashed a strange color, but it quickly hidden, Ruan Chi quietly put away the music box, and then smiled, "I see, then thank you, madam, for this gift, I like it very much." โ
Lady Isabella certainly saw what Ruan Chi was hiding, but she was very interested in not asking, although she was equally interested in the origin and purpose of the music box, but compared to the purpose of her letting Ruan Chi come here to meet alone tonight, a music box was not so important.
"If the warrior likes it, it's fine." Lady Isabella smiled and nodded, then was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Warrior, I would like to ask, would you like to stay and work in a fixed place?" โ
The adventurers are a group of people who are notoriously wandering around, and generally have no fixed place to live, Lady Isabella asked, no doubt because she wanted Ruan Chi to stay and do her own business.
The music box just now was clearly an olive branch she threw out. (To be continued......)
