Chapter 531: emergencies on the street
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Ariel, who had undergone an illusion and disguised herself, opened her lips slightly and said, "My lord, I want to buy some candies, dolls and other small items along the way. Offer a little comfort."
After finishing speaking, Ariel drooped her willow eyebrows and couldn't help sighing softly.
It seemed that what she saw and heard on the frontier battlefield in the past two days had brought her a spiritual shock, which obviously hadn't faded away.
"Understood, let's go shopping nearby."
Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao patted the other person's thin shoulder lightly to show comfort, while responding.
In this way, surrounded by the subordinates, Lei Xiao and Ai Lier followed the bustling flow of people and walked forward in this commercial street.
It didn't take long, and under the smiling farewell of several shop owners, Ariel took all of the dozens of big bags of candies and dolls into her space ring one by one.
Immediately afterwards, a series of rapid horseshoe kicking sounds came to Lei Xiao's ears again.
Looking at the reputation, I saw a group of silver armored cavalry galloping, waving the triangular flag in their hands, and shouting to the surrounding crowd: "The city lord is about to pass by, and the idlers wait to get out of the way immediately!"
Hearing the reminder of the silver armored cavalry, the flow of people immediately began to move closer to both sides of the street, vacating the most spacious avenue in the center.
At the same time, the bustling street became quiet in an instant. Whether it was the pedestrians around or the shop operators, they all touched their chests with one hand and lowered their heads deeply.
"It seems that the city lord Orr has returned from the ruins."
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
A few days ago, when I went to the underground temple of the Titans with Orr, I saw the same scene.
Needless to say, Orr, the lord of Fanyin City, undoubtedly holds the power of life and death for all the residents under his rule.
Moreover, it is precisely because of his diligence and lightness of labor that Fanyin City has rapidly developed to today's scale.
Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the residents of Fanyin City are in awe of it and dare not neglect it in the slightest.
And business travelers from other places have gained considerable profits from the safe and efficient trading platform provided by Fanyin City, and they are also full of gratitude and admiration for it.
Of course, among the all saluting crowd, the only one who held his head up was the extremely ordinary-looking Lei Xiao and his party who had undergone an illusion and disguised themselves.
And this act of not paying attention to the city lord Orr at all, and being out of tune with the surroundings, immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.
All of a sudden, pairs of puzzled, astonished, and even angry eyes began to cast towards Lei Xiao and his party.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao, who held his head high, raised his eyebrows slightly, not paying attention at all.
Naturally, he didn't even care about such a sudden situation the size of a fingertip.
"Boy, are you a little too big?"
At this moment, a sharp voice came from the crowd on the side.
Immediately afterwards, a skinny young man who was about the same age as Lei Xiao, accompanied by a beautiful young woman with heavy makeup, walked in front of Lei Xiao.
Observing carefully, this young man is wearing a set of khaki aristocratic costumes, the materials are quite elegant, and the coat of arms of a coyote is engraved on his chest.
Above the coat of arms, there is also a strip of copper, decorated with six shining silver balls.
This undoubtedly means that the other party is a baron whose title is only one level higher than that of a knight.
Seeing a nobleman appearing, the surrounding crowd began to whisper to each other, all looking like they were watching a good show.
Shaking his head helplessly, Lei Xiao simply turned his back, not willing to talk to the other party at all.
Judging from the aura, the strength of the other party is probably around the second-level three-star, plus it is just a little-known low-level nobleman, so naturally it can't arouse Lei Xiao's interest.
And the subordinates beside him, seeing that Lei Xiao didn't pursue the other party's rudeness, apart from secretly admiring the lord's mind in their hearts, they all turned away and didn't have the same knowledge as the other party.
"Tch, don't think that pretending not to hear can offset your rudeness."
Seeing this scene, the skinny baron couldn't help showing a smug look on his face, he took another step forward, and said imposingly: "No matter what, this matter can't be left alone!"
It has to be said that this low-key, luxurious and connotative young man is the real prince charming in her mind!
After the initial surprise, the city lord Orr coughed a few times, apparently noticing his gaffe in public.
However, just when he regained his energy and prepared to invite Lei Xiao into the City Lord's Mansion.
But he found the burly knotweed and Ariel who was embracing her arms.
"This...five...two...gong?!"
In an instant, the city lord Auer showed a look of shock on his slightly rich but resolute face, and he was petrified on the spot.
And, he became the most stunned one present.
You know, in the underground ruins of the Titan tribe at that time, it was Hong Ye who shot, and the knotweed was hidden under the invisibility cloak throughout the whole process.
Therefore, when Orr saw the knotweed stick that was sold so strongly at the auction at the moment, standing behind Lei Xiao on the left and right of Hong Ye, how shocked he was in his heart.
What's more, there is also Princess Ariel with a calm face standing behind Lei Xiao, which makes Orr so surprised that he can't extricate himself.
"Okay, Your Excellency the City Lord, this is not a place to talk, let's move on."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao spoke to Orr.
It happened that Lei Xiao wanted to find an opportunity to test Orr's details. Now that he had this opportunity, he had to make good use of it.
Moreover, if it is really confirmed that Orr has taken refuge in a certain prince, Lei Xiao cannot rule out the possibility of directly killing him.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao pointed to the Shanglu Fair not far away.
"It's up to you to decide!"
First, he gave Ariel a slight salute, and then Aurer, who had regained his senses, nodded repeatedly and responded.
Just like that, under the unbelievable eyes of the surrounding pairs.
Auer first ordered Old Calvin and the cavalry to stand by at the entrance of the Merchant Land Trade Fair, and then followed Lei Xiao and Ariel towards the Merchant Land Trade Fair.
It didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his party and the city lord Auer to return to the familiar luxurious reception room of Shanglu Trade Fair.
He just entered the room and stood still, looking at Lei Xiao, Knotweed, Hong Ye and Ariel, even though Orr had stomach problems, he knelt down on one knee first, and lowered his head deeply towards Ariel.
Then he said in an excited and respectful voice: "Your Majesty Orr Feng Chi, I pay my respects to Your Highness the Princess!"
"Get up, Fanyin City is quite prosperous, you have done a good job."
On the other side, Ariel nodded slightly, slightly raised her hand and said.
"His Royal Highness Xie, I didn't expect to be able to look up at the holy face of Her Royal Highness again after more than ten years. I am really lucky!"
After getting up, Orr still maintained his bowed posture, and said, "I remember the last time I saw Her Highness the Princess at such a close distance, she was still a lively and lovely little girl!"
"Have you and I met before?"
Hearing the ~ Ariel couldn't help but slightly frowned.
Although she had heard that the Fanyin City Lord had served as a court magician in the capital for a period of time before, she had always lived in the deepest part of the royal castle when she was a child.
Even if you go out to play, there are special passages and exclusive imperial gardens for the royal family, and you will hardly go to other parts of the palace.
Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary court magicians to easily see her, except for the entourage such as personal maids and royal guards.
Even if she occasionally shows up at the celebration, it is impossible to get so close to her.
All in all, Ariel obviously didn't have any impression of the City Lord Fanyin in front of her.
"Your Highness, it's normal for you to forget that the minister came down..."
On the other side, Orr still kept his bowed posture, and began to describe the ins and outs of what happened back then.
