Chapter 207: Prelude to Assassination
"Master Zilie, I'm just saying, look at Xiao Chen, he is not yet an adult, isn't it normal that the matter of being knighted can be considered after adulthood?" Price still smiled, and said to Yuri beside him: "Yuri, do you say yes, your Todd Kingdom, generally knights are also adults." ”
How could Yuri not understand what Price meant, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, in fact, with Xiao Chen's talent, what title can't be obtained...... , Haha, Master Zilie, don't be angry, I'm telling the truth, everything depends on Xiao Chen's meaning. ”
Zilie almost vomited blood.
These two guys, singing and harmonizing, he doesn't know what his idea is?
But at this time, he can't just have a seizure.
These two people are not only the powerhouses of the third-level civilization, but the kingdom behind them is extremely powerful, and the others are guests of the Xiao family, he is Zi Lie, can he still be reprimanded!
Besides, it really depends on what Xiao Chen means.
Xiao Chen has become a mage, his status is honorable, no one can force him, and neither can he Zi Lie!
Zi Lie's gaze fell on Xiao Ye at this time, he wanted to take a roundabout route, Xiao Chen was not something from the Purple Dragon Kingdom, and there was no way to restrain him, but Xiao Ye was the earl of the kingdom.
Zi Lie smiled and said: "Xiao Ye, in fact, you have made a lot of great contributions to the royal country, and you put down the barbarian rebellion a few years ago! I told Zi Chuan last time that I want to give you a knighthood, but I haven't had time, I think this time, how about directly mentioning the second order? Duke, is it okay." ”
"What, Duke!" Xiao Ye and Xue Yun were both stunned.
Zilong is only a second-level civilization, the territory is not very large, and there are only a few dukes in the entire kingdom, and it seems that there are only three dukes at present. And they are all hundreds of years old families, and they have followed the Zi family many years ago.
He Xiao Ye is just a new nobleman who has risen up, and his background is very shallow, but he is strong, and he has the strength of a swordsman, so he has the status of an earl.
Now, suddenly he was promoted to two orders and became the duke of the kingdom, and suddenly he was on a par with those centuries-old families, how could he not be surprised!
"This old fox really can go down to Ben.
Both Price and Yuri were surprised.
The status of the duke is not ordinarily grand, because the first-level civilization is generally the principality, and the duke is actually equivalent to the lord of the same first-class document.
"If you agree, I will give you the territory of the three cities and seven towns in the Ilek region. Zi Lie directly took the medicine.
The Ilek region, that is where the former Principality of Ilek is located, after that territory was conquered by the Purple Dragon Kingdom, it has always been the territory of the Purple Family, and now the Purple Family is not only a duke, but also directly takes out the territory of a principality, which is simply so graceful that it can be said to be unique, even if the other three major dukes in the Purple Dragon Kingdom definitely do not have such a large territory.
Xiao Ye's body trembled!
It's false to say that you don't want to be moved.
This is tantamount to making him truly a first-class civilization master.
Although he Xiao Ye became a sword master, according to his qualifications, it was enough to open up a civilization, but how could it be so easy to open up a civilization, if he went to the barbarian tribe to conquer and then open up, at least he didn't know how many years of operation he could really become a principality, far less prosperous than this kind of ready-made principality.
Xiao Ye was moved.
Price and Yuri could only be anxious, but they couldn't speak, and knighted Xiao Ye, they really couldn't interfere, if they interfered again, they wouldn't know each other. Interfering in the internal affairs of the tour, Zilie has a reason to do it!
Xiao Ye has gone from being a commoner, cultivating hard, and struggling to the present, what is more glorifying the Xiao family than becoming the master of a country and opening up civilization, and adding face to the ancestors of the Xiao family.
He was excited.
Yi Jian Shi's cultivation was also a little uncontrollable, and his hand trembled slightly, just when he was excited to thank him.
He suddenly saw Xiao Chen sitting below.
Xiao Chen's expression was indifferent, and he sat there, as if everything here had nothing to do with him.
Xiao Ye's mind is sharp, he can cultivate to the level of a sword master, and he is as famous as the sky in the Purple Dragon Kingdom, how can Xiao Ye be an idiot, of course he knows that this duke status and the territory of a principality are attracted by Zi Lie.
Why is it being wooed, it's not because of his Xiao Ye.
What kind of strength does he Xiao Ye, even if he is a sword master, it is only one star, and it is far from enough for Zi Lie to take out the duke title and the territory of a principality to win over.
Then all this is obvious, because of M Xiaochen!,
Only a peerless genius like Xiao Chen, who has not been seen in a hundred years, and a demonic talent, has the qualifications to make Zilie spend so much money to win over.
Xiao Ye looked at Xiao Chen, who had a cold expression.
There was a sudden shock in his heart, the relationship between him and Xiao Chen was already so tight... He exchanged Xiao Chen for a knighthood?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Master Zilie, I can't accept this duke title, my merits are not enough to get such a reward. ”
The audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Xiao Ye with some surprise.
Xue Yun also opened her mouth to look at Xiao Ye, a little unconvinced, she knew how strong Xiao Ye's sense of family responsibility and honor she had, otherwise she wouldn't be so harsh on Xiao Chen in the past, the territory and status of a principality, Xiao Ye should have been ecstatic.
Price and Yuri were relieved, the status of the duke and the territory of a principality, even they were tempted, but they didn't expect Xiao Ye, a one-star swordsman, to refuse.
"You don't!" Zi Lie's eyes shrank.
He said in a deep voice: "Xiao Ye, this is the duke title and the territory of a principality, don't you want it?"
Xiao Ye refused to say it at this time, so he was relaxed, and he said: "Master Zilie, I want to, but it's not like this, I will definitely exchange enough military merit for it in the future." ”
Zi Lie was silent for a moment, his eyes fixed on Xiao Ye's face.
Xiao Ye also looked at him calmly.
"Okay, I appreciate your attitude, then make a marquis, this is what you deserve. Zi Lie said slowly.
Xiao Ye didn't hesitate this time, his military exploits had indeed accumulated to the status of a marquis, he immediately stood up, knelt down on one knee and said, "Master Xie Zilie." ”
"Xiao Chen, you are seventeen now, in another year, you will be an adult, and when the time comes, I will give you a knighthood, you can refuse." Zilie laughed and said.
"I'll think about it. Xiao Chen nodded.
In the direction of the east gate of the Purple Dragon King City, a group of more than a dozen people, riding horses, appeared on the official road.
"Lord Mosayya, here it is, this is the Purple Dragon King City. A man in black in the team said respectfully.
"Oh, this is the Purple Dragon King City. A middle-aged man with red curly hair at the head showed a cold light in his eyes.
"It's finally here. A swarthy young man sneered.
They were the five powerhouses from the Venus Kingdom, and after leaving the Ryan Kingdom, they flew for another day and finally arrived in the Purple Dragon King City.
Since it was an assassination, if you want to reduce the situation, you naturally can't fly into the Purple Dragon King City with an airship.
So these people took the airship in a hidden valley dozens of kilometers away, changed horses, and disguised themselves as travelers to go to the Purple Dragon King City.
A group of people smoothly passed through the city gate and entered the Purple Dragon King City.
"My lord, we have been ready for a long time, just opposite the Xiao Mansion, we have already built a house. The man in black said. They are subordinate to the intelligence unit of the Kingdom of Venus "Nighthawk".
As early as a week ago, he had passed the news through the letter crow and prepared for the assassination.
The man in black led the five men to the inside of a house on Light Blue Street. Standing on the third floor of the house, you can easily see the Xiao Mansion opposite.
The five of them stood in front of a window, looking at the Xiao Mansion opposite, listening to the report of the leader of the Nighthawk team who had been hiding here in the early stage.
"You say, here in the afternoon, in the Xiao Mansion, there was a vision of heaven and earth, and a huge funnel-shaped wind vortex appeared in mid-air?" The silver-haired young man frowned as he listened to the Nighthawk squad leader.
"Yes, Lord Haydn, one of our Nighthawk Wind Mages said that when the vision appeared, even the mana vortex in the body stopped. Captain Nighthawk said respectfully.
The silver-haired young man's eyes flashed, and he said to the other four, "This should be the vision of heaven and earth caused by someone breaking through the wind mage. ”
"Well, it should be, except for the advanced mage, there should be no other possibility, absorb all the surrounding wind elements, and only then will it cause the wind mage mana mana vortex to stop working. A two-star mage outside Su also nodded in agreement.
"Someone broke through the wind mage?" Mosaya frowned slightly: "Who else is in this Xiao Mansion, with this strength, it doesn't mean that there is only one father, who is a one-star sword master." ”
"Whatever he is, isn't he just a newly advanced wind mage, there is no difference between having it and not having it!" The swarthy young man sneered: "One-star mage, Lao Tzu can kill him with one punch." ”,
The other four listened and silently admitted it.
A one-star mage can be regarded as a strong man, but for the five of them, it is really nothing. The level gap is too big. After being promoted to a sword master and a mage, the gap between each level is extremely huge, and any person here can easily kill a mage who has just advanced.
"If you want Lao Tzu to say, rush in now and kill that little beast. The murderous intent in the dark youth's eyes boiled. That Rob is his best friend!
"Schmidt, what are you anxious about!" The silver-haired young man said coldly: "It's been so many days, don't be in a hurry at this time, wait until the evening to make a move, try to kill with one blow, don't make more trouble, especially you, Schmidt, don't attack others, just kill Xiao Chen, you know?"
"Okay. ”
The swarthy young man said unwillingly.
With his temper, it is only happy to kill all the people in the Xiao Mansion, a second-level civilization, what is it.
"Martha, you go on. The silver-haired young man continued to Captain Nighthawk.
Captain Nighthawk continued, of course, he also said that someone entered the Xiao Mansion in the afternoon, but they didn't know Yali and Saperi at all, and the strength of these people was not enough to see the middle-aged man in gray and the old man in yellow...
Time, slowly.
The night is gradually falling!
"Let's go, identify the target, and kill it quickly!" Mosayer said.
The other four who changed into black nightwalking clothes all nodded.
Five figures like dark night quietly swept out of the small building, and they were shooting towards Xiao Mansion quickly...... )
