Because Xu Shenxing and the others didn't move, those ambushers soon appeared around them and surrounded them. From a visual point of view, the number of them was almost over a hundred.
And a little farther away from the encirclement, a handsome young man in a luxurious dress appeared surrounded by several people.
Xu Shenxing felt that this guy was probably the leader of this group of people.
"Your Excellency, Viscount Delphinium, I didn't expect to see you here!"
On the other hand, when Lauren Cloutien saw the other party, she immediately put on a shy face, rubbing her hands like a traitor fat translator in an anti-Japanese war movie, and smiled coquettishly, trying to get close to the other party: "The last time I went to Rennes City, I couldn't do it. It is my lifelong regret to meet you!"
"So this time I came here to meet you, Knight Claudine."
There was no vicious feeling on the other party's face as the mastermind behind the scenes. Instead, he chatted with Lauren with a friendly smile.
"Actually, Viscount Delphinium, you don't need to do this. If you want to see me, just ask me anytime."
Lauren winked at Xu Shenxing and the others, wanting them to find a chance to escape, while continuing to chat with each other, trying to make the soldiers surrounding her group relax and reveal their flaws.
"It's nothing, it's my own wish... In addition, you have to change the name of me a little bit." The young man continued to smile amiably: "Not long ago, because of my achievements, the king's capital re-promoted my title. Unfortunately, I am a little older than that Strelitzia lady...you have to call me Delphinium now."
"Yes, is that so?"
Cold sweat broke out on Lauren's forehead. Now even his biggest reliance, Ms. Strelitzia, who had a higher title than her, has been compared. This is really troublesome.
He racked his brains to recall the interests and hobbies of the new Duke's intelligence, trying hard to find topics to flatter him.
"give up."
Suddenly, Xu Shenxing, who had been silent from the beginning until now, spoke out abruptly.
"Huh?" Lauren Cloutien, who couldn't react, showed a silly expression.
"Look at the man next to that guy." Xu Shenxing continued to remind.
Mr. Knight followed what he said, and found that one of the people surrounded by Viscount Delphinium was the bandit leader who snatched the golden apple and finally escaped with alchemy products similar to smoke bombs.
"..."
"Since this guy will appear in front of us so swaggeringly, it means that the other party has no intention of covering up at all. No matter how you try to please him, it is useless. In the end, the ugliness you want to please him will become His joke."
Xu Shenxing ruthlessly pierced Lauren Cloutien's last fantasy: "I have seen this kind of bad guy a lot."
"Hmph, mercenary, you are quite knowledgeable, please register your name."
Delphinium, whose idea was broken by Xu Shenxing, showed a look of appreciation on the face.
"Bah." But Xu Shenxing refused: "If you ask me to report it, I will report it. Isn't it embarrassing!"
"..."
The expression on the other party's face instantly became quite exciting.
However, he still didn't order to do it directly, but turned his attention back to Lauren Cloutien.
"Knight Claudine, I can give you a chance," he stretched out his right hand that had been placed behind his back, holding the golden apple in his palm: "This apple was snatched by you on purpose by my subordinates." The golden apple is a fake... tell me where the real one is, and I'll let you go."
After speaking, he threw the fake golden apple towards Lauren.
As a result, this thing flew halfway, and it was caught by Jasmine in one bite.
"Ahh!" After receiving the golden apple, she held the golden apple in both hands like a hamster, took a bite of it, and then her eyebrows were cutely twisted together: "Landlord, it's not delicious. "
"Nonsense, this thing is just a piece of ordinary metal!"
Xu Shenxing rolled his eyes.
Even if Jasmine's stomach can digest metal, but before that, the taste of steel is not very tasty... Well, don't ask Lao Xu why he knows this, it's a tragic story.
The eyes of the other soldiers surrounding them were straightened when they saw this scene.
They also probably know that although this golden apple is exquisitely crafted, it is actually covered with gold, and there is a real piece of iron inside.
But just now, the blond loli took a bite, let alone the gold on the outside, and directly bit into a hole in the iron inside...
Immediately, those people kept a little distance away from Jasmine calmly, for fear that they would be missed by this blond loli with good teeth in the future.
"I, I don't know..." Lauren Cloutien looked blank.
After all, the effect of having Jasmine’s bite is obviously better than any verification. You can see that the iron core is exposed. Whose golden apple has long iron inside, it’s really stingy...
Delphinium took a closer look at Claudine's expression, and felt that it didn't look like a fake.
At this time, a man who was probably a servant ran from behind and whispered a few words in Delphinium's ear, causing a dazed expression to appear on the other's face.
"Hmph, is that so..." He gritted his teeth and said to himself.
"What's wrong?" Lauren asked hurriedly.
"I'm afraid you have been tricked."
Although it was a bit far away from the delphinium, Xu Shenxing still heard what the servant said. In short, the client, Ms. Strelitzia, had already arrived at the village at the foot of Mount Amos and ordered Her personal troops are stationed there.
He sighed: "You are just a smoke bomb released by your employer. Her goal from the very beginning was to climb Mount Elmos by herself."
And the real golden apple should be on Ms. Strelitzia's side.
After all, it is more convincing to entrust the things to an adventurer who has experience and fame, and who can act faster and more conveniently than to carry important things with great fanfare.
Delphinium is one of those who was deceived.
"Hmph, as expected of Ms. Strelitzia, but I just reached the foot of the mountain first, and the outcome of this round has not yet begun! Just wait for me!"
The gentle expression on the man's face was gone, replaced by sullen and irritable.
"Then how many people?" The guard who played the bandit leader before asked in a low voice.
"It's no longer necessary, kill them all. Although they shouldn't be able to cause any troubles, it's still better to be careful." Delphinium ordered coldly: "Gather immediately after that and head towards Mount Amos!"
So under his command, the soldiers attacked Xu Shenxing who were surrounded by them.
