Chapter 363: Shadows in the Ranks
After the Golden Spike Territory ushered in the advisor Miss Sally, the economy of the entire territory got rid of the decadence under Silvador's incompetent governance and began to rejuvenate, and Miss Sally had a good reputation in the mouths of many lords and merchants, such as the treasure of the Golden Spike Territory, the wise lady, the embodiment of beauty and wisdom, etc., of course, as the lord, Prince Silvdor still maintains the title of the idiot prince, but recently the lords have begun to habitually call him the 'lucky' idiot prince.
The economic development of the territory quickly led to a large number of merchants and tourists, and the Charm of the Night, the premier hotel in the territory, also followed the rules of the market to increase its prices, but fortunately, Lelouch had already received the largest amount of financial assistance before departure, and all the people involved were staying in this most luxurious hotel, except for some hired porters and coachmen.
In the eyes of the waiters, the handsome and elegant black-haired young man who was surrounded in the center should be the young master of a big aristocratic family, and the two muscular men behind him must be the escort of this noble young master.
And beside this aristocratic young master, there are three ladies, one of whom looks ordinary and has a little freckles, should be an assistant, and the other tall woman who looks charming and has a hot body may be the mistress of this little noble son. However, the identity of the last beautiful and petite blue-haired girl is a little unpredictable, it doesn't seem like the relatives of a noble young master or something, and it doesn't look like an accompanying maid, the girl just keeps a mysterious smile and looks around, and every time the attendant secretly looks at the girl, she feels a chill all over her body. It's like being targeted by something terrible.
With a silent and trademark smile, the attendant silently pushed the luggage to everyone's room, and although he had received many wealthy guests before, it was indeed a luxury to let the escort stay in the hotel suite.
"Okay, let's put it here, at seven o'clock in the evening, let's come up at the dinner for seven people~um~. ”
"Yes, sir, dinner for seven, I see. ”
The waiter put down his luggage and quickly bowed away, a dinner for seven people, but there were only six people on the other side. Maybe those two muscular men need to eat two servings.
Everyone sorted out their rooms and gathered in the dining room. I have to say that the standard of the Night Charm Hotel is still quite high. Customers who can afford it can even rent an entire floor of rooms, including their own dining room and meeting room, whether they want to dine uninterrupted or have a private meeting.
Buyani entered the room and directly scanned the restaurant with mental power, making sure that there was nothing installed in the restaurant that should not be installed or some magic array for voyeurism, and the crystal dragon's talent for immunity to magic made Buyani extremely sensitive to the fluctuation of magic. Not to mention that Buyani has also increased her strength a lot with the help of Yalin. The psychic force scanned it and determined that the entire room was safe. Even the hidden magic array will be eliminated by the crystal dragon's demon-breaking ability.
After making sure that there was no problem, Lelouch clapped his hands and said with a very leading temperament: "Okay guys, before dinner, I need to explain to you what you will do after arriving in Free City. ”
Kenjiro Gus and Alisa, who had just completed the cargo transfer procedures, sat down in turn, and the crystal dragon was not interested in this kind of thing, after all, his task was only to act as a guide and bodyguard. I am not very good at business trading.
"But it looks like someone hasn't been there yet. Naturally, LeBlan, who sat down next to Lelouch, joked as he wiped the staff in his hand.
There is another person!Gus and Kenjiro both raised their eyebrows, when they first received the task, Yalin did say that there would be seven people to go to the Free City together, but now after arriving in the Golden Harvest Territory, they didn't see this seventh person, it shouldn't be that they fell behind or escaped from the battle.
"He's arrived, it's just that as a shadow he doesn't like to be in the light. Lelouch walked around the room, crossed his hands around him, and ordered softly, "Okay, come out and meet everyone, robbery!"
Leluxiu's words immediately alerted everyone, especially Kenjiro, the shadow here naturally refers to the assassin and the assassin, the other party has been following behind his group and may even be in the room, and he is also an assassin himself. And at the moment when Lelouch finished speaking, the magic crystal lamp in the room suddenly went out, except for Buyani and LeBlanc, Gus and Kenjiro suddenly became alert, and Alisa, who was sitting on the side, knew that there should be no danger, but she still subconsciously leaned towards Buyani's position.
The tricky queen LeBlanc crossed her legs and looked at the ceiling nonchalantly and said, "Don't pretend to be mysterious somewhere, you know the guy hiding in the shadows, come down and say hello to everyone." ”
There was a strange silence in the room for a moment, and suddenly Buyani smiled contemptuously, and in the next second, two sharp blades that flashed cold light had been driven from behind to LeBlanc's white neck, so fast that Gus and Kenjiro didn't have time to react. Only then did Alyssa nervously stand up and take a few steps back, Alyssa covered her mouth and tried not to scream out, nervously staring at the figure that suddenly appeared behind LeBlanc like black smoke.
"You should be grateful to Your Majesty, if it weren't for the fact that you were also Your Majesty's servant, you would be in a different place by now. The black shadow gradually emerged, and the ninja dressed in a strange red and white suit said in a deep tone, "Don't underestimate the shadows, the shadows can swallow you at any time." ”
LeBlanco laughed and said in a disdainful tone: "Are you embarrassed to mention the shadows? The real shadow is the weapon created by the wise, controlling a qiē in the dark, manipulating all things, and deceiving the truth is the true meaning of the shadow, and the blade of the fool is just a tool of the wise." ”
"Interesting┉┉Then let me see what wisdom the dead have. ”
"Appearances are deceptive, do you know what a mirror is?"
LeBlanc smiled as her figure suddenly turned into purple smoke, and suddenly she quickly sensed the dangerous aura coming from behind her, turned around and slashed the chain that suddenly stabbed from behind, and then a dart full of sharp blades shot directly into the dark corner of the restaurant. The darkness suddenly shone with a purple mist, and the darts seemed to shoot directly into the wall, and at this moment, LeBlanc, who was already fully armed, walked out of front of the robbery with a staff of great wonder, and the tricky enchantress looked at the robbery with a raging smile.
"Ridiculous trick, I promise you'll never need it a second time. ”
"I really don't need to use it a second time, because someone is about to become a real 'shadow'. ”
A strange red light shone under the mask of the robbery, and the staff of the tricky enchantress began to condense into a psychedelic purple mist. Gus and Kenjiro were nervous, and Buyani was grinning and ready to see a good show, and at most she protected Alyssa behind her. As the leader of the team, Lelouch finally couldn't help but start to mediate between the two people who met and were infighting.
"Put away your weapons, I don't want to see infighting in my ranks, but if you have too much energy, you can put yourself down to business. Lelouch stood up, and the dragon's breath suddenly spread out, whether it was the two people who were fighting inwardly, Gus and the others couldn't help but shudder, Buyani looked at Lelouxiu with a suspicious expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
LeBlanc withdrew her staff, as a character summoned in League of Legends has the highest loyalty to Arin, and it is clear that the Sorcerer does not want to spread the news of infighting to Arin's ears, which will reduce her value in His Majesty's heart.
"Maybe it's a good idea, and I'll show you what the shadows really are. Although there was a desire to ease the atmosphere, LeBlanc still subconsciously provoked the other party, after all, his self-esteem did not allow him to admit defeat.
"Embrace the shadows or die in the darkness!Hmph~ You'll understand that. And I will prove to Lord Arin who is the true Lord of Shadows!"
He also withdrew his armblade, and without saying a word, he retreated into the darkness as he had when he first came.
Gus whispered to Kenjiro beside him, "It seems that there are a lot of problem children in the team this time." ”
"And it's very good. Kenjiro nodded in agreement.
Alisa, who was slumped on the sofa, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the shrewd businesswoman was about to re-examine the group of 'partners' in front of her, the bewitching woman named LeBlanc was indeed a high-level mage as she expected, and she might also be a high-level illusionist, and the assassin named Zai was also very weird, judging from the cold aura emanating from his body, he didn't seem to have any human feelings, like a monster hidden in the darkness in human skin.
Seeing that the atmosphere finally eased up, Lelouch also sat down again and began to explain some news about the free city, roughly that the establishment of the mercenary group and the chamber of commerce was carried out simultaneously, and the use of both force and financial resources has established popularity and power in the free city as quickly as possible, and there is no need to waste time to plan and plan to intrigue with those local businessmen, and directly take the other party by surprise in the form of blitzkrieg.
Lelouch's plan made Alisa's expression solemn, to be honest, although this plan seems reckless, it is still quite feasible. The price advantage and commodity advantage have directly occupied part of the market in one breath and disrupted the local balance in the free city, and even in the face of the suppression of local businessmen, the opponent can be divided with interests, and I have to say that the teenager in front of him is completely a gambler, a rational crazy gambler!
Alyssa said in her heart. (To be continued......)
