Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Ariel, who had gone through the illusion disguise, opened her red lips and said, "Sir, I would like to buy some candies, dolls and other small items along the way. If I meet those poor homeless children again, I would like to Give some small comfort."

After finishing speaking, Ariel lowered her eyebrows and couldn't help but sigh.

It seems that the shock to her soul caused by what she saw and heard on the border battlefield in the past two days has obviously not faded away yet.

"I understand, then let's take a walk around the area."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao gently patted the other person's thin shoulder to show comfort and responded.

In this way, surrounded by subordinates, Lei Xiao and Ariel followed the lively flow of people and moved forward in this commercial street.

It didn't take long, and under the happy farewells of several shop owners, more than a dozen large bags of various candies and various dolls were all put into her own space ring by Ariel.

Immediately afterwards, a series of rapid tapping sounds of horse hooves came to Lei Xiao's ears again.

Following the sound, I saw a group of silver-armored cavalry galloping towards me. While waving the triangular flag in their hands, they shouted to the surrounding crowd: "The Lord of the City is about to pass by. Everyone, please get out of the way immediately!"

After hearing the reminder from the silver armored cavalry, the flow of people immediately began to move closer to both sides of the street, vacating the spacious avenue in the center.

At the same time, the bustling streets suddenly became quiet. The surrounding pedestrians and shop operators all touched their chests with one hand and lowered their heads deeply.

"It seems that City Lord Al has returned from the ruins."

Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

A few days ago, when I went to the Titan underground temple with Orr, I saw the same scene.

Needless to say, as the lord of Fanyin City, Orr undoubtedly holds the power of life and death for all the residents under his rule.

Moreover, it was precisely because of his diligence and low taxes that Fanyin City rapidly developed to the scale it is today.

Therefore, no matter from which aspect, the residents of Fanyin City are in awe of him and do not dare to show any slights.

Business travelers from other places have made considerable profits from the safe and efficient trade platform provided by Fanyin City, and they are also full of gratitude and admiration for it.

Of course, among the people who were all saluting, the only one who raised his head was naturally Lei Xiao and his group, who had gone through illusion magic and looked extremely ordinary.

And this move, which did not take City Lord Orr seriously at all and was incompatible with the surroundings, immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.

For a moment, pairs of puzzled, surprised, and even angry looks began to be cast towards Lei Xiao and his group.

Seeing this, Lei Xiao, who held his head high and raised his eyebrows slightly, didn't take it to heart at all.

Naturally, he didn't even care about an unexpected situation the size of a fingertip.

"Boy, are you a little too trusting?"

At this moment, a sharp voice came from the crowd on the side.

Immediately afterwards, a thin young man about the same age as Lei Xiao, accompanied by a beautiful young woman with heavy makeup, walked up to Lei Xiao.

Upon closer inspection, you can see that this young man is wearing a set of earth-yellow aristocratic clothing, made of quite exquisite materials, with a coyote emblem engraved on his chest.

Above the coat of arms, there is a long copper strip 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 the nobles coming forward, the crowd around them began to whisper to each other in low voices, all looking like they were watching a good show.

Shaking his head helplessly, Lei Xiao simply turned his back, showing no intention of talking to the other party.

Judging from the aura, the opponent's strength is probably around the second-level and three-star level. In addition, plus he is just an unknown low-level noble, he naturally cannot arouse any interest in Lei Xiao.

When the subordinates around him saw that Lei Xiao did not pursue the other party's rudeness, in addition to secretly admiring the lord's broad-mindedness in their hearts, they all turned away and did not know the other party.

"Hey, don't think that pretending not to hear can offset your rudeness."

Seeing this scene, the skinny baron couldn't help but have a look of pride on his face. He took another step forward and said with great momentum: "No matter what happens today, this matter can't just stop here!"

After finishing speaking, the skinny baron straightened his frail body, looking like he wanted to show off his skills in front of the crowd.

The civilians watching the theater nearby and the young woman beside him couldn't help but cast admiring glances.

Among them, especially the beautiful young woman with heavy makeup, she cast a disdainful look at Lei Xiao who had gone through the illusion disguise.

This young man looked ordinary, how could he compare with her great Lord Baron?

Seeing that the other party took the lord's disdain as a retreat, Kelly, who was really angry, took off the hood of the illusion cloak.

Then he flashed directly in front of the skinny baron, put his hands on his hips, and said coldly: "Coyote, what are you barking at here? Are you itchy? How dare you speak to the big...him like this!"

"Kelly...?!"

Seeing that the person who came was actually the eldest lady of the Shanglu Trade Fair who was running rampant in Fanyin City, the skinny Baron's aura suddenly dropped by nine points. He couldn't help but took several steps back and said bitterly: "Okay, Kelly, I take it for granted. Who is it? It turns out you are unruly here!"

After finishing speaking, the skinny baron cast an angry and jealous look at Lei Xiao again.

You know, in the huge Fanyin City, even though Kelly had a hot temper, she would not hesitate to raise her hand and throw a punch.

However, her delicate fair face, her status as the president's daughter, and her origins in the Kingdom's wealthy Merchant family have undoubtedly made her a goddess-like figure in the hearts of many people, including this skinny baron.

Before this, the skinny baron had also mustered up the courage to try to launch a pursuit, but what he got was that he flew upside down for more than ten meters. Not only did he lie at home for three days, but he also spent half a month in a wheelchair. .

Therefore, seeing Kelly come forward to defend Lei Xiao, the skinny baron naturally had mixed feelings in his heart, which was very unpleasant.

At this time, the skinny baron rolled his eyes, stretched his neck, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "In full view of the public, you are disrespectful to the Lord of the City. None of these people will be able to escape today! Especially the boy who took the lead!"

Needless to say, since he is not an opponent, as long as he attracts the city lord, the boy will definitely be unable to eat and walk away!

Thinking of this, the skinny baron couldn't help but reveal another proud smile.

Sure enough, with the sound of intensive horse hooves, and escorted by a squadron of silver-armored cavalry, Orr and Old Calvin had turned the curve at the end of the street and appeared in everyone's sight.

"Everyone stop it, this city lord!"

Sensing a commotion in the crowd in front of him, Orr, who was full of doubts, rode over in the direction of Lei Xiao, escorted by a group of cavalry.

After noticing this scene, while bowing their heads and saluting, the faces of the people eating melons around them either showed gloating or intolerance.

It seems that, except for Pepper Kelly, this team is obviously going to suffer! You know, being disrespectful to the city lord is not a small crime.

The smile on the skinny baron's face grew even stronger. No matter what, as long as he could see that boy being unlucky, his goal would be achieved!

Thinking of this, the skinny baron first glanced disdainfully at Lei Xiao, who still had an indifferent expression, and then quickly stepped forward and reached the front of the team.

At this time, with the slow sound of horse hooves tapping, Orr's horse team arrived just in front.

However, what happened next surprised everyone present.

"Lord City Lord, that boy..."

I saw the skinny baron walking directly in front of Orr who was riding a tall horse, and the small report had just begun.

Then Orr, who turned over and dismounted with a happy face, stepped on his feet and fell to the ground.

Orr, on the other hand, didn't even look at the skinny baron, but came straight to Lei Xiao, with a look of surprise on his face and said: "Your Excellency Chensha, when you come to this Fanyin City, why don't you compete with me as the city lord?" Say something? Isn’t this a bit too outsider?”

There is no doubt that even though Lei Xiao is wearing an illusion cloak, as a fourth-level powerhouse, Orr can naturally see the clues as long as he concentrates.

The most important thing is that the terrifying strength displayed by Lei Xiao in the Titan clan's underground temple is still fresh in Orr's memory.

If he can make friends with such a young man with bottomless strength, it will naturally be a pros and cons for him!

On the other side, I saw that the city lord, who was usually stern and clear about rewards and punishments, was so enthusiastic towards the disrespectful young man that he even nodded and bowed.

For a moment, everyone including the skinny baron who had just climbed up in embarrassment, the young woman with heavy makeup next to the skinny baron, and all the civilians present looked stunned.

To be able to make a city man who is the Marquis of Lengyan and a fourth-level strong man put on such an expression, what is the terrifying origin of that young man? !

Among them, especially the beautiful young woman, with her long and slender eyelashes flickering, she first glanced at the skinny baron who was in a state of embarrassment, and then looked at Lei Xiao, who made the Lord City Lord extremely polite, and her heart instantly stirred up a huge wave. .

It has to be said that this low-key, luxurious and meaningful young man is the real Prince Charming in her mind!

After the initial surprise, City Lord Al coughed a few times, apparently noticing his gaffe in public.

However, just when he regained his strength and was about to invite Lei Xiao into the city lord's palace.

But he found the burly Japanese knotweed and Ariel with her arms crossed.

"These... five... two... males?!"

In an instant, the city lord Orr, who looked rich but also had a touch of determination, suddenly showed a look of shock and was turned to stone on the spot.

And, he became the most stunned person present.

You must know that in the underground ruins of the Titan clan at that time, it was Hongye who took action, and the tiger stick did not show up under the invisibility cloak the whole time.

From this, when Orr saw the Japanese knotweed that had been aggressively sold at the auction, standing behind Lei Xiao in the red night, how much was he shocked in his heart.

What's more, standing behind Lei Xiao was the indifferent Princess Ariel, which made Al even more surprised.

"Okay, Your Excellency City Lord, this is not the place to talk. Let's move on and talk."

Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said to Al.

It just so happened that Lei Xiao wanted to find an opportunity to test Orr's details. Now that he had this opportunity, he had to seize it.

Moreover, if it is confirmed that Orr has taken refuge with a certain prince, Lei Xiao cannot rule out the possibility of killing him directly.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao pointed at the Phytolacca Trade Fair not far away.

"It's all up to you!"

First, he gave a slight salute to Ariel, and Al, who had recovered somewhat, nodded repeatedly and responded.

Just like that, under the disbelieving eyes of the surrounding people.

Orr first ordered Old Calvin and the escorting cavalry team to stand by at the entrance of the Phytolacca Fair. Then he followed Lei Xiao and Ariel and walked towards the Phytolacca Fair.

It didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his party and the city lord Orr to return to the familiar luxury reception room of the Trade Fair.

Just after he entered the room and stood still, looking at Lei Xiao, Huzhang, Hongye and Ariel, even though Al had a problem, he still knelt down on one knee and lowered his head deeply towards Ariel.

Then he respectfully said with great excitement: "Your Majesty Al Fengchi, I would like to pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Get up, this Fanyin City is quite prosperous, you have done a good job."

On the other side, Ariel nodded slightly, raised her hand slightly and said.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess. I never expected that after more than ten years, I would be able to look up at Her Royal Highness's holy face again. I am truly lucky!"

After standing up, Al still maintained his bowing 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 cute little girl!"

"Have you and I met before?"

Hearing the sound, Ariel couldn't help but frown slightly.

Although she heard that the Lord of Fanyin City had served as a court magician in the royal capital for a period of time, he 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 exclusive passages and exclusive royal gardens for the royal family, so you will almost never go anywhere else in the palace.

Therefore, except for the personal maids and royal guards and other entourage, it is impossible for ordinary court magicians to see her easily.

Even if he occasionally showed up at celebrations, he wouldn't be able to get so close to her.

All in all, Ariel obviously had no impression of the Lord of Fanyin City in front of her.

"Your Highness Princess, it is normal for you not to remember that I am here..."

On the other side, Al still maintained his bowed posture and began to describe the causes and consequences of what happened that year.
