After the Golden Harvest Territory welcomed the consultant Miss Sally, the economy of the entire territory got rid of the decadence caused by Silvado's incompetent governance and began to glow with new life. In the eyes of many territorial residents and businessmen, Miss Sally had a good Fame, such as the treasure of the Golden Spike Territory, the wise lady, the embodiment of beauty and wisdom, etc. Of course, as the lord, Prince Silvado still maintains the title of the idiot prince, but recently the people of the territory have begun to habitually call him ' Lucky' idiot prince.
The rapid economic development of the territory has attracted a large number of businessmen and tourists. As the leading night hotel in the territory, it has also increased its prices in accordance with the market rules. Fortunately, Lelouch has received the maximum amount of financial subsidies before departure. In addition to With the exception of a few hired porters and coachmen, all concerned were accommodated in this most luxurious hotel.
Two hotel attendants escorted the group of people and saluted them. In the opinion of the attendants, the handsome and elegant black-haired boy clustered in the center must be a young master from a noble family. The two men behind him must have muscles all over their bodies. He is the bodyguard of this noble young master.
There are three ladies accompanying this aristocratic young master. One is an ordinary-looking woman with a little freckles who should be an assistant, and another tall woman with a charming appearance and a hot body may be this. She must be the mistress of a young nobleman. On the other hand, the identity of the last blue-haired girl with a beautiful appearance and petite figure is a bit confusing. She does not seem to be a relative of any noble young master, nor does she seem to be an accompanying maid. The girl just keeps a mysterious smile. Looking around, every time the attendant secretly looked at the girl, he would feel a chill running through his body, as if he was being stared at by something terrible. "Okay, let's just leave it here. Come at seven o'clock in the evening to help deliver ~um~ dinner for seven people."
"Okay, sir, dinner for seven, right? I understand."
The attendant put down his luggage and left quickly. Dinner for seven people. But there are only six people on the other side. Maybe those two muscular men need to eat for two.
Everyone tidied up their rooms and gathered in the restaurant. It must be said that the standard of Night Charm Hotel is still quite high. Customers who can afford it can even rent an entire floor of rooms including a separate restaurant and conference room. Whether you want an uninterrupted meal or a private meeting.
Buanyani entered the room and directly scanned the restaurant with her mental power to make sure that nothing inappropriate was installed in the restaurant or that some magic circles were arranged for peeping. The crystal dragon's talent of being immune to magic made Buanyani immune to magic. The fluctuations are extremely sharp, not to mention that Buyani's strength has increased a lot with the help of Yalin. After scanning her mental power, she determined that the entire room was safe. No matter how hidden the magic circle is, it will be eliminated by the crystal dragon's magic-breaking ability. Gus Kenjiro and Alisa, who had just completed the cargo transfer procedures, sat down one after another. Crystal Dragon was not interested in this kind of thing. After all, his mission was only as a guide and bodyguard, and he was not very good at business transactions.
"But it seems that someone hasn't arrived yet." LeBlanc, who naturally sat next to Lelouch, said jokingly while wiping the staff in his hand.
There is another person! Gus and Kenjiro both raised their eyebrows. When they first received the mission, Yalin did say that seven people would go to the Free City together, but now they have not seen the seventh person after arriving in the Golden Spike Territory. Could it be You may have fallen behind or escaped from the battlefield.
"He's already here, but as a shadow he doesn't like to appear in the light." Lelouch circled the room, crossed his hands and ordered softly: "Okay, come out and meet everyone, Zed!"
Lelouch's words immediately alerted everyone. Especially for Kenjiro, the shadow here naturally refers to the assassin and assassin, who has been following his group and may even be in the room. As an assassin himself, he was not far behind at all. And the moment Lelouch finished speaking, the magic crystal lamp in the room suddenly went out. Except for Buanyani and LeBlanc, Gus and Kenjiro suddenly became alert. Although Alisa sitting aside Knowing that there shouldn't be any danger, he still subconsciously leaned closer to Buyani's position.
The trickster LeBlanc crossed her legs and looked at the ceiling nonchalantly and said: "Stop pretending to be mysterious. You know the guy hiding in the dark. Come down and say hello to everyone."
The room fell into a strange silence for a short time. Suddenly Buanyani smiled contemptuously. In the next second, two gleaming sharp blades had reached LeBlanc's white neck from behind. The speed was so fast that even Gus and Kenjiro didn't even have time to react. At this time, Alisa stood up nervously and took a few steps back. Alisa covered her mouth and tried not to scream out, nervously watching the figure that suddenly appeared behind LeBlanc like black smoke.
"You should thank His Majesty, if not you would be His Majesty's servant. Now your head is in a different place." The black shadow gradually emerged, and the ninja wearing a red and white strange costume said in a low tone: "Don't Look down on the shadows, they can swallow you up at any time.”
LeBlanc laughed with a rather disdainful tone: "You still have the nerve to mention shadows? The real shadow is a weapon created by the wise. Controlling everything in the dark, manipulating all things, and deceiving the truth is the true meaning of shadow. The sharp blade of the fool. It’s just a tool for the wise.”
"Interesting┉┉Let me see what wisdom the dead have."
"Appearances can be deceiving. Do you know what a mirror is?"
LeBlanc's figure suddenly turned into purple smoke as she smiled. Zed immediately noticed the dangerous aura coming from behind. He turned around and cut off the chain that was suddenly stabbed from behind with a knife, followed by a cloth The dart full of sharp blades shot directly into the dark corner of the restaurant. A burst of purple mist suddenly shone in the darkness, and the darts seemed to be shot into the air and stuck directly into the wall. At this moment, LeBlanc, who was already fully armed, walked out from directly in front of Zed holding a staff and held it strangely. The Trickery Enchantress looked at Zed maliciously with a cruel smile.
"What a ridiculous deception, I guarantee you will never use it again."
"I really don't need to use it a second time because someone is about to become a real 'Shadow'."
A strange red light shone under Jie's mask, and the magic staff of the Demon Queen began to condense a psychedelic purple mist. Gus and Kenjiro became nervous, but Buanyani looked like she was smiling and ready to watch the show. At most, she was protecting Alisa behind her. As the leader of the team, Lelouch finally couldn't help but start to mediate between the two people who were fighting each other.
"Put away your respective weapons. I don't want to see anyone in my team fighting. If you have excess energy, you can devote yourself to business and prove yourself." Lelouch stood up and the dragon's aura suddenly spread. When they got out, both the two people who were fighting among themselves and Gus and the others shuddered involuntarily. Buanyani looked at Lelouch with doubts and didn't know what he was thinking.
LeBlanc took back the staff. As a character summoned in "League of Legends", she has the highest loyalty to Yalin. Obviously, the Witch of Trickery does not want to spread the internal strife to Yalin's ears, which will degrade herself. value in His Majesty’s heart.
"Maybe this is a good idea, just watch! I will let you understand what the true meaning of shadow is." Although she had the idea of easing the atmosphere, LeBlanc still subconsciously provoked the other party. After all, her self-esteem would not allow her to Throw in the towel.
"Either embrace the shadows or die in the darkness! Hum~ you will understand this sentence. And I will also prove to Lord Yalin who is the real Lord of Shadows!"
Zed also retracted his arm blade and returned to the darkness without saying a word, just like when he first came.
Gus whispered to Kenjiro next to him: "It seems that there are really many problem children in the team this time."
"And the strength is very good." Kenjiro nodded in agreement.
Alisa, who was slumped on the sofa, finally breathed a sigh of relief. The shrewd businesswoman now took another look at the group of 'partners' in front of her. The charming woman named LeBlanc was indeed a person as she expected. A high-level mage, maybe a high-level illusionist, and the assassin named Zed is also very strange. Judging from the cold aura emanating from him, he seems to have no emotions that humans should have, just like It's a monster hiding in the darkness wearing human skin.
Seeing that the atmosphere had finally calmed down, Lelouch sat down again and began to explain some news about the Free City. Basically, the establishment of the mercenary group and the Chamber of Commerce was carried out simultaneously, and the use of force and financial resources had quickly established a reputation in the Free City. and forces, there is no need to waste time on planning and scheming with those local businessmen, and directly use the form of blitzkrieg to catch the opponent off guard.
Lelouch's plan made Alisa's expression become serious. To be honest, although this plan seemed reckless, it was still very feasible. With price and product advantages, it directly occupied part of the market and disrupted the local balance in the free city. After being strongly inserted, it can use its interests to divide its opponents even in the face of pressure from local businessmen. It has to be said that the boy in front of him is a complete gambler. A sane, crazy gambler!
Alyssa commented in her heart.
