Chapter 782 The Lord and the Holy Maiden of the Moon Temple (Part 1)
"Wind Bell Pavilion" is the most luxurious hotel in Kelly City, located in the most prosperous commercial center of Kelly City.
The guests received here are either the nobles of the kingdom with prominent status, or the wealthy businessmen with a lot of money. They are existences that ordinary commoners can hardly match.
In the spacious and bright lobby of the hotel, the well-arranged spar stones shine brightly, making the golden hollow scroll patterns, scopolamine leaf decorations, scallop flower decorations and other gorgeous textures on the walls complement the white and shiny marble floor tiles, revealing everywhere Elegant and luxurious.
From time to time, three or two aristocratic and wealthy businessmen dressed in gorgeous costumes and holding goblets can be seen talking and laughing happily, looking leisurely.
No one noticed that, with a gust of wind blowing, two slender figures had passed through the hall and walked towards the private room area upstairs in the hotel.
These two are sisters Erza and Teresa.
Under the guidance of Erza, Teresa soon came to an extremely luxurious box.
As soon as she stepped into the door of the luxury box, a refreshing aroma of butter entered Teresa's nostrils.
Slightly sniffling her nose, Teresa looked intently.
This is a banquet hall. Under the reflection of the dazzling crystal tassel chandelier, there is only a rectangular banquet table covered with off-white tablecloth, which is filled with exquisite delicacies, which are still steaming.
And a group of figures exuding impressive momentum had already sat down at the long dining table, apparently waiting for their arrival.
Seeing this scene, although Teresa's indifferent fair face was still expressionless, she couldn't help being surprised in her heart.
Before going here, she thought of more than a dozen possible negotiation scenarios, each of which was solemn and solemn, with extremely high confidentiality standards.
But to be so ostentatious, to set the negotiation venue in this public and luxurious place where people come and go, is still far beyond her expectations.
After all, the main theme of the negotiation is a big battle that concerns the life and death of the other party. I didn't expect the other party to still throw a big banquet here when the sword was hanging over their heads!
While being surprised in her heart, Teresa continued to wait and see.
I saw a young man with a peaceful face sitting at the head of the table. In the dark eyes of the other party, only a faint smile could be seen, and there was no trace of panic or sadness at all.
This kind of posture of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him and not changing his face is enough to show that this guy is definitely not easy to deal with.
The person Teresa scrutinized was naturally the lord Lei Xiao.
Teresa is no stranger to Lei Xiao's appearance.
As Erza had guessed before, Teresa had been watching the battle in secret since the start of the territorial offensive and defensive battle, but it was the first time that she had such close contact.
"At first, I thought that Princess Keqing would show her ugly face when she saw me, or at least she should be flattering. I didn't expect to be so calm and composed. You know, I am in charge of this guy's life and death."
Looking at Lei Xiao's indifferent face, Teresa's willow eyebrows could not help but wrinkle slightly.
"Could it be that this guy is still planning some conspiracy?"
While Teresa was thinking secretly in her heart.
I saw Ersha had already come to Lei Xiao's side, saluted respectfully: "My lord, let me introduce you, this is my sister Teresa!"
"I am the Eleventh Moon Palace Saintess of the Holy Night Kingdom, that's all."
Teresa snorted coldly, and said lightly: "Your Excellency, you are already burning your eyebrows, and you are still eating and drinking here. I am really in a good mood."
"Where is it, it's just that I didn't eat at noon. I just took this opportunity to taste the traditional food of the Holy Night Kingdom."
Lei Xiao still maintained a faint smile, raised his eyebrows and responded.
While Teresa cast her eyes secretly, Lei Xiao naturally observed her quietly.
After the door was completely closed, Teresa, who was standing at the door of the box, did not perform any illusionary disguise, but revealed her original dark elf face.
Although the handsome and indifferent white face is almost carved out of the same mold as Erza, showing the elegant charm of the elves, but the tall and well-proportioned figure is in sharp contrast with the petite Erza. Compared.
"I remember that Erza said at the beginning that Teresa is her twin sister. From this, it is not difficult to see that this pair of dark elf sisters is obviously different from the identical Nan Xing Nanyue. They are a pair of fraternal twins, which can be regarded as different Distinctive."
As Lei Xiao thought about it, he keenly noticed the surprise in Teresa's eyes.
"It seems that this impromptu dinner of mine really exceeded the other party's expectations."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and slowly took a deep breath.
Although it was calm on the surface, Lei Xiao's heart was already in turmoil.
You know, judging from the current situation, this indifferent and lonely dark elf woman in front of her has the power to dominate the life and death of the territory.
Even so, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
With almost no bargaining chips, this is obviously an unequal negotiation.
If you show any more negative emotions such as fear, upset, etc., you will definitely be caught by the other party and hand over your life and death decision-making power to the other party.
Instead of doing that, it's better to be calm and mysterious, and use an equal rather than a dwarf-like attitude to make the other party puzzled, so as to grab more information from the other party.
Only in this way can it be possible to find a breakthrough in the negotiation and let it develop in a direction that is beneficial to you.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao did not show any flattery or flattery to the saintess of the Moon Palace who controlled half of the Holy Night. Instead, he raised his hand appropriately as the host treats guests and said: "It's just the dishes. Just waiting for our main corner seat."
"Since Your Excellency Ke Qing invited you so sincerely, then I will simply give Your Excellency Ke Qing this face."
Teresa raised her brows, naturally she would not easily fall into the disadvantaged, but unceremoniously sat directly opposite Lei Xiao, on the same seat as the master.
It wasn't until she was seated that Teresa found out in surprise.
The dishes in front of me are actually my favorite dishes. Although the recipe is different from that of the dark elves, I can find a sense of familiarity from them.
"Your Excellency, these are specially selected by Erza for you, hoping to suit your taste."
Lei Xiao signaled the surrounding subordinates to start eating, and smiled at Teresa, "The food won't be delicious when it's cold, let's chat while eating."
"Little sister, elder sister will never forget your taste. This time, time is in a hurry. Next time, elder sister will cook you a delicious meal from your hometown."
I saw Erza, who was the assist of God, was already sitting next to Teresa, and said with a smile.
"Next time? Is it in front of your tombstone?"
Teresa glanced at her sister, then smiled at Lei Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, you have a heart, and it happens that I haven't eaten at noon, so it's better to be respectful than to obey."
After finishing speaking, Teresa raised the knife and fork, and while forking a small piece of vanilla toast, put it in her mouth gracefully, while her star eyes moved, and her eyes fell on another slender woman who was sitting at the top seat with Lei Xiao. on the figure.
It was a young woman with exquisite appearance, wearing a set of pale gold robes, and her whole body was filled with a touch of grace. The inadvertent elegance and luxury that burst forth from her gestures and gestures were enough to show her noble birth.
Especially the thick slightly curly black hair, which fully demonstrated the other party's identity.
"Is Leng Yan's fifth princess Ariel? Although I have seen it several times on the battlefield, but the real person is obviously different from the unruly and willful little princess in the information. Is it because she has grown up or the information itself is wrong? "
Looking at Ariel's muscular face, Teresa nodded slightly.
About the fifth princess of Leng Yan, the information in his hands is extremely limited, which also proves that the threat is almost negligible.
But it is such a weak Princess Lengyan who has grown to the point where she can stand up to those princes Lengyan.
Thinking of this, Teresa's starry eyes turned, and she looked at Lei Xiao next to her.
Why this happens, the answer is self-evident.
As for whether the fifth princess also fell under the command of this guy like Erza, Teresa was still a little uncertain for a while.
After all, Teresa has met too many nobles of the human race since she became the saint of the Moon Palace, including those proud princes and princesses of the Holy Night.
If you want these members of the royal family who are superior in their bones to bow their heads and surrender, it will be a hundred times more difficult than killing them directly.
While chewing gracefully, Teresa glanced at a burly figure and another slender figure on the dining table, they were the knotweed and the red night.
Teresa, who had secretly watched the battle, was no stranger to these two fifth-tier powerhouses under Lei Xiao's command.
However, although Teresa's own strength is only at the fifth level and one star, she has many powerful cards bestowed by the queen of the dark elves.
Coupled with the agility of his own shadow magister, even if he loses, he is still able to survive the siege of several fifth-order powerhouses and leave the battlefield with ease.
Just when Teresa was thinking about this in her heart, Lei Xiao also introduced Ariel and other subordinates appropriately.
It is worth mentioning that Jiang Li, as a hidden figure, still did not show up.
After all, Lei Xiao already understood the conversation between the dark elf sisters just now.
At the same time, Lei Xiao also ordered Elusa to test, and confirmed that the other party did not go directly into the realm of absolute death, so naturally it was impossible to know the existence of Jiangli.
Thinking about it, if Teresa really entered the realm of absolute death before, it is impossible for Nightmare Knight to not notice anything.
It wasn't until Lei Xiao briefly introduced everyone, Teresa who nodded politely one by one, that she found out.
The dinner plate in front of him was already filled to the brim by Erza.
And the other party was still pinching himself, while muttering to himself: "Little sister, this is your favorite honey pudding. When you were young, you often didn't brush your teeth after eating, but you were often scolded."
"You're muttering, believe it or not, I'll sew your mouth shut with Shadow Bolt."
The corners of Teresa's mouth twitched involuntarily, so she continued to eat gracefully.
After a while, seeing Erza clamping more and more vigorously, Teresa glared at the other party, and helplessly put down the tableware in her hand.
Originally, Teresa thought that after Lei Xiao's posturing, he should talk about serious business immediately, after all, the fire was already imminent.
However, until now, Lei Xiao still had a great time eating, as if this was just an ordinary party.
"What the **** is this guy doing?"
Due to Erza's interference, Teresa's domineering aura at the beginning had unknowingly weakened a bit, and she was even a little bit burnt out.
After a while, Teresa finally lost her composure, and asked Lei Xiaofa with frowned eyebrows: "His Excellency, did you and Princess Ariel come all the way to find me just to have a meal?"
"Sorry, Your Excellency, the food in the Holy Night Kingdom is so delicious, it made me linger for a while."
Hearing Teresa's dissatisfaction, Lei Xiao leisurely put down the knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said with a smile, "Let's talk about the business next."
"Business? Your Excellency, Ke Qing, is not quite accurate in saying that?"
Teresa's tone was obviously more aggressive, and she snorted softly: "To be precise, it should be Your Excellency's life and death."
"It makes sense."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows noncommittally, and then said with a faint smile, "However, since Your Excellency the Holy Maiden chose to come, it means that there may be some turning points for this matter, right?"
Lei Xiao clearly understood, from the conversation between the dark elf sisters just now, it can be heard.
Teresa, the Saintess of the Moon Palace, obviously had one thing to ask herself, perhaps that was the breakthrough point for the opponent to delay the attack.
However, I don't know what the other party is referring to, so I can only think of a way to let the other party say it first, and then wait for the opportunity.
"Turning opportunities? Maybe I just had a whim, wondering what kind of rhetoric your Excellency Ke Qing, who once defeated my Moon Palace Sacred General, could come up with to make me suspend the attack."
Teresa immediately understood Lei Xiao's plan, and kicked the ball back: "Your Excellency Ke Qing has come to look for me from thousands of miles away, so it is impossible that you have nothing to say to me, right?"
"Your Excellency the Holy Maiden has already talked about this, so I will be blunt."
Seeing Teresa's water tightness, Lei Xiao still kept a faint smile.
Since the other party is also planning to test his own tone first, then he will knock the mountain and shake the tiger.
At least let the other party know ~ Even if you kill yourself, the other party will never have any good fruit to eat.
Thinking of this, the smile on Lei Xiao's face began to become meaningful, and he said leisurely: "Your Excellency, have you never thought that once I want to be completely destroyed, the Holy Night Kingdom will not be far from extinction ?"
"It's a joke, I'm going west, it will only benefit the Holy Night Kingdom, and how can it have anything to do with life and death?"
Teresa smiled disdainfully, and snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, stop scaremongering here. This kind of baseless and naive threat has no effect on me!"
"A baseless, childish threat?"
The smile on Lei Xiao's face became more intense, leaning on his chin, he said, "Your Excellency, why don't you think about it again?"
Teresa looked at Lei Xiao's playful eyes, and her willow eyebrows were tightly knit together.
After a while, she showed a look of sudden realization, stood up involuntarily and said, "Could it be that you want to play tricks?"
