The Northern Alliance lord in front of him looked like a mature middle-aged man in his forties, and the beard at the corner of his mouth was still a bit charming.
In order to demonstrate the Alliance's determination to uphold force and defend the Icefield Mountain Front to the death, Tang De specially wore a light chainmail shirt to attend the party this time, with a specially customized handle pinned to his waist, representing the command of all Alliance legions. Commander's Sword".
He was the only one who showed off like this in the whole party, but no one would object to this behavior.
When you reach a high position, everything you say or do or what you wear has a meaning behind it.
At this time, Zhao Xu, looking at Lord Tang De, whom he had great respect for in his previous life and had never doubted in his heart, felt the urge to cast spells at that face for the first time.
Perhaps it was just like Zhang Qi complained to him after traveling through time.
He felt that the moment he became the person he once hated was when he knew that the other person was the mastermind behind the scenes, but he could still sit down and talk about the deal calmly.
There is no doubt that Tang De must have something similar to a spiritual barrier to protect himself.
A rare item such as the "Hidden Eye" worth more than 100,000 gold coins can do this. This is also a basic magic item equipped by the masters of Arthur's major organizational forces.
"Mystra, Mage Association, Fourth Ring Mage, Zhongxia."
At this time, Zhao Xu introduced himself.
As he spoke each word, his not loud voice was like an extremely hot branding iron, making the entire lake boil on the spot, spewing out countless bubbles, and the atmosphere reached its peak in an instant.
"It's him?"
"The owner of the artifact?"
"What?"
"That's right, it was the mage who repelled the siege of hundreds of people that night. I remember his name was Zhongxia."
The sounds of exclamation suddenly came one after another, as if waves were rising one after another, and all the eyes in the venue were locked on Zhao Xu.
No wonder these guests, who already had some status, made sounds of surprise at this moment.
Because the name "Zhongxia" can be said to be the current hot spot in the league.
Especially the deeds he performed after coming out caused a storm and made people look forward to the power of the artifact.
Zhao Xu was a little surprised. He noticed that Tang De's eyes looking at him seemed to glow with golden light, and the original afterimage suddenly disappeared.
It turns out that no one knew it.
"Wow, isn't that pretty strong?"
"At this age, he is already a fourth-ring mage. I don't know which family he came from."
"Your news was delayed. Someone else is the player, the current number one. You can't be bothered by this."
With these popular words, the eyes of several noble girls in the banquet hall finally became calmer.
For these young girls who have not yet faced the responsibilities of marriage, tonight was originally a preliminary "search".
Among the top league leaders in Oru City, countless outstanding young people have gathered here.
However, Zhao Xu's claims about how powerful the artifact is and how powerful the mage's reputation is are all false to these inexperienced girls.
But that night, he actually repelled hundreds of attackers who coveted the artifact. This kind of power proved that he was a first-class strong man.
This is what makes countless noble girls dream about it.
As for the fact that you may have to wander around the world to follow him, it may be a plus point for a girl with a hero complex.
Just after hearing the identity of this player, many noble girls who had been thinking about it were suddenly shattered.
Even many outstanding young people with unconvincing eyes looked at Zhao Xu softer.
Only the guests who secretly sent someone to take action that night, or even made plans, silently looked at Zhao Xu and thought about the next plan.
Zhao Xu already understood at this time why everyone's surprised looks didn't seem to be fake at all, or it was really the first time they heard of his appearance.
He couldn't help but look to the side, who was smiling proudly, and it was Freir who introduced him here.
Obviously, from last night to now, Zhao Xu and others have not received any search or attention for detecting spells. It was Freir who made the effort.
He concealed the news and forced the guards and city guards to release the news a whole day late.
This also made Zhao Xu re-evaluate Freire's abilities. In his previous life, his sister died in childbirth beside Tang De, and Freire was quickly excluded from the alliance's aristocratic circle.
Now it seems that if he can stand at the top for a period of time and become famous, his methods will not be simple.
"I'm really blind to see such an outstanding talent."
Tang De approached Zhao Xu directly at this time, and a strong scent of incense came. He immediately shook Zhao Xu's hand with force, looking extremely happy and courteous.
At the same time, he turned sideways, looked at the guests in the banquet hall, and said loudly: "Everyone, I also have some news to announce here."
"Everyone has a better impression of the incident where the Palace of Eldra fell from the sky and exploded in the Twilight Forest. At that time, there was news from the center of the explosion that there was an artifact inside."
"Even the countless adventurers present all agreed that it was Mr. Zhongxia who obtained the final artifact."
At this time, Tang De only held Zhao Xu's arm and put his shoulder on one side, as if he was his nephew.
Following Commander Tang De's reminder, the "artifact" speculation that had been swirling in everyone's minds was torn apart and spread out on the table.
The players who were responsible for patrolling and guarding around the banquet hall couldn't help but relax their vigilance and looked at the high platform ahead.
One of the warrior players couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This commander is not so stupid. He thinks he can force us players to hand over the artifact on the spot, right?"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but press his hand on the standard long sword.
Immediately, the captain next to him pressed his hand covertly and stared at the impulsive player, "What are you doing? Do you want to rebel?"
After the two of them just stared at each other, the player took back his sword and explained, "No, I'm just on guard."
The warrior player who was just ready to take action if something went wrong was a part-time job in the game. After thinking about it for a while, he finally gave in to reality.
After seeing the opponent stop, the captain in charge of the escort team couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
These players who are not afraid of death are indeed easy to use, but they also have their own temperaments, and there are also those who draw swords when they disagree, which gives him a headache.
After all, the players who were able to successfully screen and enter this high-level banquet hall were more or less candidates that the alliance officials trusted and even intended to cultivate, so the other party finally stopped.
However, he was also alert, secretly gesturing attentively towards the captain of the other team who was born in Arthur.
He seemed to have underestimated the prestige of the number one player like "Zhong Xia", who could actually attract help from other players just by relying on his name.
At this time, Zhao Xu was pushed onto the grill by Tang De, and he was a little surprised. In his impression, Tang De was not the kind of greedy and ignorant person, otherwise he would not be able to reach the high position he is today.
The devil took away his faith and his soul after death, but he would not take away his brain.
He must have had his own intentions when he announced to everyone that Zhao Xu had obtained the artifact, and he was not necessarily asking him to publicly hand over the artifact and then be given a heavy responsibility.
"At that time, most of the team that successfully entered the artifact at the beginning of the explosion were thrown out of the palace and died when the Palace of Eldraine ascended to heaven. Even those who were hiding at the beginning were not able to escape from ascending to heaven. Explosive damage at that moment.”
"In the absence of internal witnesses, the original arrangement was broken in the Palace of Azrael, and it only lasted two days before taking off. At that time, I also believed that Mr. Zhongxia was the final winner and got the artifact. , otherwise it would be impossible to explain that among all the people, only Mr. Zhongxia survived and ascended to heaven early."
After hearing this, the guests in the banquet hall were all intrigued by Commander Tang De, and they all looked at the two people on the front stage.
They had vaguely realized that there must be some secrets hidden inside at that time.
Currently, many people in the alliance are searching for Zhao Xu, naturally not in the name of revenge for the hundreds of people who attacked that night.
Instead, as a relative and friend of the expedition team that entered the palace within six hours, I tried to find Zhao Xu and ask him to explain clearly what happened inside and why all the adventurers who entered died and he was the only one who survived. .
Sometimes, not dying together is a mistake.
When Zhao Xu heard Tang De's remarks, he relaxed. He already knew what Tang De meant.
It was actually a disguised attempt to sell him face.
"However, just now, the 'joint investigation team' formed by investigators sent by alliance officials, many temples and even the Mage Association has reached its final conclusion."
"This investigation result is guaranteed by the many Good God Churches currently in Oru City."
"The artifact 'Holy Breath' has already ascended to heaven with the Palace of Eldraine. If we want to really get it, we have to wait until the next time the Palace of Eldraine comes to the world."
As soon as Tang De finished speaking, even if he raised his hand, he still couldn't suppress all the comments in the audience.
Waves of sound came and went, one after another, and I couldn't accept this shocking news for a while. Even those who are engaged in information selling want to turn around and leave on the spot to pass on the news.
Unexpectedly, no one has obtained the "sacred breath"!
One can imagine how many legendary powerhouses it will attract the next time it lands.
Even in the next few decades, the Alliance will definitely set up sentry towers near the explosion area to monitor and report back any changes.
"Here, it's like this?" A monk player who was standing guard at the edge of the hall couldn't help but exclaimed. His shiny head glowed with an oily sheen under the light of the hall.
"In this way, this Mage Zhongxia is just like that. Without the artifact, he is not scary at all." Another warrior player said unconvinced.
"Idiot." Another person immediately retorted.
"Where did I say something wrong? He doesn't have a divine weapon or this kind of super-conceptual equipment. He doesn't have two eyes and one nose like us, and he doesn't have the same five resurrection stones." The warrior player said unconvinced.
"So are you stupid? Have you forgotten that the Great God Zhongxia killed hundreds of people in an ambush that night and successfully broke through the siege?"
"I'll give you a knife and ask you to kill five hundred pigs in the mountains and fields. The knife will be blunted and you won't be able to finish three digits."
"Not to mention, those who dared to ambush that night were ruthless people who licked blood with their swords."
Suddenly, the players standing together in a row suddenly realized something.
The Zhongxia mage in front of him does not have any "artifact" at all, but he has achieved an achievement that is unparalleled among current players.
Single-handedly, he defeated an entire regiment's ambush team.
It would be an understatement to say that such a fierce man is running rampant in the league.
At first everyone thought it was an artifact, so that was fine. Now that we know it was completed by a single player, we still have to blow up the forum and planning.
"This kind of combat power is too exaggerated. Does Arthur really have no such thing as balance?" A player couldn't help but sigh. His eyes when he looked at Zhao Xu had become helpless.
"In general PVP games, being able to fight two or jump three is already strong enough, but this is actually a fight of hundreds." The man took a deep breath as he spoke.
Because those ambushers were "adventurers" like them, not monsters like goblins.
Looking at the reaction of everyone in the audience, Tang De seemed to be very satisfied. He patted Zhao Xu's shoulder vigorously, "Next, I have one more thing to announce."
As he spoke, his voice rose, "Seeing how outstanding Master Zhongxia is, the love for talent in my heart cannot be calmed down."
"I declare that as long as I am in this position for one day, our alliance will do our best to help Mr. Zhongxia obtain the artifact 'Holy Breath' the next time the Palace of Eldraine comes to the world."
After saying that, Tang De raised Zhao Xu's hand with all his strength.
Immediately, the guests present, whether they were the top leaders of the alliance or the most ordinary guards standing on the side, clapped their hands, as if they were infected by Tang De's personal charm at this time.
Zhao Xu also smiled happily, as if he was very happy with this arrangement.
But he couldn't help but murmur in his heart. Sure enough, someone like Tang De who could climb up was not easy to mess with.
As expected, every believer who believes in the Demon Lord Graz'zt is extremely cunning.
In this way, he tied up Zhao Xu, who was most likely to obtain the artifact and had the most information.
However, Zhao Xu didn't have any psychological burden on this.
He was helpless, Freire seemed to protect his information too well.
He actually hid the fact that he was the president of Falling Star Town of the Mage Association.
If we really want to "cooperate" with him to obtain the artifact, who can go beyond the Mage Association? Zhao Xu even noticed the slight change in Freier's expression from the corner of his eye.
He knew how to pack an item and successfully sent his sister into Tang De's harem.
Tonight, Zhao Xu's reputation is widely known, so in order to achieve another kind of blockbuster and let Zhao Xu see what he can do, he blocked everything.
As a result, Tang De's impromptu move was immediately restrained by an unannounced news.
At this time, Freire's throat moved slightly, and he was about to step forward and announce Zhao Xu's other identity.
Suddenly, the guard from behind ran in with an eager look on his face. His forehead was dripping with sweat and he wanted to step forward and have a private chat with Tang De.
But for this sudden appearance, Commander Tang De's personal bodyguard immediately stopped him.
"Tell me, what's wrong?" Tang De waved his hand and said.
Freyr had just introduced Zhongxia to Zhongxia, which made him feel very happy, especially since he needed to know the internal information of the Palace of El Zhuo through Zhao Xu.
In this way, his master's mission can be successfully completed immediately.
"Commander, Mrs. Ellie and Miss Fleur, they..."
"What's wrong?" Tang De suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly.
"They were originally staying in Mrs. Ellie's house, waiting for Mrs. Fleur to put on a newly introduced makeup. But the Mrs. and Miss disappeared mysteriously. When our personnel stationed outside found out that it was inappropriate to break in, After I went in, I found that they were all gone.”
"And all the maids and personal guards in the house died. A line of blood was left on the wall, saying that it was the work of the six sisters."
As he spoke, he looked at the commander Tang De on the stage in horror.
At this moment, many people turned pale, and even Freyr almost fainted and fell.
Zhao Xu also fell silent. At this time, he was not sure whether Mrs. Ellie and Fleur had secretly experienced this kind of disaster in their previous lives.
If this continues, this will be a scandal that cannot be erased on Tang De.
The six thieves sisters can be said to be the most notorious group of bandits in the alliance. The six of them became sisters and specialized in robbing young girls.
Even after the robbery, their methods were extremely cruel, including forcing good girls into prostitution and selling them into slaves.
If a group of them had gone late, they might even have been tortured to the point of going crazy.
At this time, Zhao Xu also silently grasped the super magic instant scepter in his hand.
Six sisters, what a bad fate they have.
For a time, all kinds of memories from the past emerged in my mind.
Unfortunately, Zhao Xu, who has memories of his past life, happens to know where the other party's lair is now hiding.
