Chapter 258 257, Love at first sight?Conquer Shen Lang!
After leaving the yamen of Shenchoutang, Shen Lang, Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi went straight to West Market.
Not long after the breakfast time, all the shops and street vendors in West Market have opened, and the streets and alleys are already bustling with people.
Shopkeepers, stallholders, and pedestrians on the street, there are not only Dongtu people, but also foreigners with different hair and eyes, high nose and deep eyes. Those strange looks make Bai Shishi gasp in amazement. , an eye-opener look.
As a time traveler, Shen Lang looked calm and didn't find anything unusual.
Of course, if there were a few fantasy races like elves, orcs, centaurs, etc., he might be a little amazed—even if he was a traveler, he had never seen a fantasy race in reality, right?
Gu Hongye, who has been patrolling the West Market for several days, has long been familiar with all kinds of barbarian people.
While leading Shen Lang and Bai Shishi to the direction of the "Storm Kingdom" clubhouse, she introduced them:
"That store sells western wool products. The wool carpets are very well made. The materials, weavers, dyeing, and patterns are all very good. As for the wool clothes, although the materials are solid and thick to keep warm, they hurt your hands when you touch them. Not very comfortable, I'm afraid.
"That store deals in all kinds of trinkets, including Western-style gold, silver, and wooden ware, as well as crystal and glass products, and some Xibei goods that are called gems, but are actually colorful and beautiful pebbles.
"That small shop sells all kinds of western pastries, baked and sold right away, with unique shapes and unique flavors, and it's not bad to eat once in a while... That shop is a perfume shop, specializing in all kinds of western perfumes, and also selling drinks ..."
"What is that store for? Why isn't it open?"
Bai Shishi pointed to an elegantly decorated small building with red lacquer and asked.
The corners of Gu Hongye's lips are slightly raised:
"It's a western brothel filled with foreign women. Since it's a brothel, it's naturally closed during the day and opened in the evening."
Bai Shishi wondered:
"Western barbarians look so weird, can the brothel business survive?"
Gu Hongye smiled and said:
"However, there are more people in the world who like to try something new. The business of several foreign brothels in the West Market is so hot every night. They come a little later, and they can't even order a foot-washing maid."
Looking at the new things all the way, and occasionally going to the store to buy some novelty gadgets, after a full hour, the three of Shen Lang finally came to the gate of the "Storm Kingdom" guild hall.
The guild hall of the Storm Kingdom is a compound with three entrances and three exits. The exterior is still in the shape of Dongtu. There are two stone statues of armored warriors at the door, and there is a storm and lightning badge on the door plaque.
At this moment, the door of the guild hall was wide open, and two Western warriors with their swords in their hands stood guard at the door, and barbarians came in and out from the door from time to time.All the barbarians who came in and out wore a storm and lightning badge of the Storm Kingdom on their necklines.
Standing across the street from the guild hall and observing for a while, Shen Lang said to Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi:
"Go shopping by yourself first, I'll go in and inquire."
Gu Hongye was a little worried:
"We'd better accompany you in. In case the people of Storm Kingdom have evil plans against you..."
Shen Lang chuckled:
"You know my strength. Don't say that the people of the Storm Kingdom may not have any malicious intentions towards me. Even if they did, would they still dare to attack me in broad daylight in the capital? Even if they are really mad at me If you make a move, how can you get me? Don't worry, I have already prepared everything."
After speaking, he waved his hands to Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi, and strode towards the gate of the guild hall.
……
The backyard of the hall.
In an oriental style, elegantly decorated flower hall.
The blond-haired, blue-eyed, delicate-featured, petite princess Azalea, wearing a brocade dress embroidered with peonies on a white background, is kneeling on a soft couch, holding a teacup in both hands, sipping tea while listening to the The bearded clerk Mephis reported that the envoys were still on their way, and it would take at least seven or eight days to arrive in the capital.
But Aishaliya and her clerk had already left the embassy, rushed to the capital ahead of schedule, and lived in the Storm Guild Hall.
If you come to the capital with the envoys, you have to live in an official hotel such as the "Concierge Courtyard" arranged by the Ministry of Rites. If you want to go out, you have to report your itinerary to the Ministry of Rites of the Empire in advance, and you can only go out after getting the approval of the Ministry of Rites and arranging guides and guards. ,Very inconvenient.
Therefore, Her Royal Highness, relying on her own strength, secretly left the mission and came to the capital early to take advantage of the spare few days to move freely and do her own things.
"Your Highness, it is easy to inquire about Shen's record. You can hear his story in any tavern. But about his private life, it is almost impossible to inquire about any valuable information."
Memphis said helplessly:
"He lived in a neighborhood with almost no outsiders, across the door from his wife's residence, and neighbors who were also his colleagues. Other than that, there were no neighbors around.
"He also never communicates with outsiders, does not participate in any social activities, and only deals with his colleagues. And his colleagues will not disclose any secrets of department personnel to the outside world. So...we can't find out his life preferences at all. "
Her Royal Highness asked:
"Did he never go shopping, never go to pubs, casinos, brothels?"
Memphis spread his hands:
"He occasionally went shopping and went to pubs, but all with his wife and colleagues. As for casinos and brothels, I have never heard of him having such hobbies."
Azalia chuckled lightly:
"It sounds like he is a very self-disciplined man, so self-disciplined that he is almost rigid and boring, and he doesn't look like a young man at all."
Memphis smiled and said:
"Maybe it's because his wife, the 'ruthless steel judge' Ms. Mu is too strong? She is only 22 years old, and she is already an eighth-rank knight. If I have such a strong wife, I will be like Shen is as self-disciplined."
Azalia's slender and delicate brows were slightly frowned, a little distressed:
"A man who has no interest in life and is almost like an ascetic monk... How can we recruit such a person?"
Memphis sighed:
"Your Highness, I have already reminded you that it is almost impossible to recruit Shen and Mu. Judging from the current situation, even if you want to form a personal friendship with them, there is nowhere to start..."
Before he finished speaking, the maid's voice came from outside the door, stammering and a little nervous:
"His Royal Highness, a man who claims to be Shen Chou Tang, Shen Lang, asks to see the person in charge of the guild hall..."
Hearing this notification, Azalia and Mephis looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
But soon, Azalia raised her eyebrows and said to the maid outside the door:
"Take that visitor to the living room, ask him to wait a moment, I will go to see him in person!"
After ordering the maid, the princess looked at Mephis again, smiled and said:
"This may be an opportunity."
Memphis frowned:
"But why did Shen come to visit the guild hall? Could it be that he knew about our inquiring about him? Will this cause him some misunderstandings?"
Azalia smiled and said:
"It's okay, we have no malice against him. As a law enforcement officer who has repeatedly solved strange cases, I think he should be able to make accurate judgments."
After she finished speaking, she stood up, looked down at the lady's clothes on her body, thought for a while, and said:
"When you meet him for the first time, you can't dress like this to meet him."
Memphis nodded in agreement:
"Dongtu clothing may make him feel friendly, but it is more likely to make him feel that he is not dignified enough, thinking that we do not respect him."
"I'm going to change clothes." Azalia lifted the skirt with both hands, and walked quickly to the side door, "Mephis, you go to entertain him first, and find out why he is here."
Memphis pressed his hand on his chest, bowed slightly, "I obey, Your Royal Highness."
……
Shen Lang followed a Xiyi maid in a low-cut dress to the living room, sat on a big mahogany chair, waited for the maid to bring him tea and snacks, and then asked with a smile:
"When will your master come?"
Although this maid is a woman from Xiyi, she has been working in the guild hall all year round, and she has long been able to speak Dongtu official dialect proficiently. She immediately bowed and saluted, and replied in fluent Dongtu official dialect:
"Honor the guest, the master will come soon."
Shen Lang nodded, picked up the teacup, sniffed the fragrance of the tea lightly, at the same time tapped the brand with a fine brush with his left hand to warm it up slightly, swept the tea, and after identifying it as non-toxic, he took a shallow sip.
Although he is sure that the people in the Storm Kingdom have no intention of murdering him, and they have the third-level vitality enhancement that is not afraid of poisonous or even supernatural toxins, but with Shen Lang's stability, even if he buys the ingredients himself, or even puts them in his own kitchen. , Before cooking, they must be scanned and appraised first, and the food prepared by outsiders naturally needs to be appraised first.
After drinking a few sips of tea, he heard footsteps outside the door, and then he saw a bearded bald man wearing an oriental Confucian shirt stepping over the threshold, striding into the hall, clasping his fists and clasping his hands again and again, He laughed loudly:
"I have admired the great name of Shen Butou for a long time, and when I see you today, I know that it is better to meet each other than to be famous, and it is better to be famous when you meet!"
This bearded man is not only proficient and fluent in Dongtu official language, but also uses a set of words. If you don't look at his appearance, but only listen to his voice, you may think that this is a bold Dongtu Jianghu.
The other party is so polite, of course Shen Lang will not be arrogant, put down his teacup, stood up and cupped his hands:
"Your honor is too high. Didn't you ask your name?"
The bearded bald man smiled and said:
"In Memphis, I will be the clerk of Princess Azalia of our country."
Shen Lang raised his eyebrows in surprise:
"Princess Azalia's clerk? Your Excellency Mephis is a member of the mission?"
Memphis nodded with a smile:
"That's right, I am one of the members of the envoy following Her Highness the Princess to the East."
Shen Lang said:
"But as far as I know, the envoys from Western countries are still on their way, right? Why did Your Excellency the Secretary come to the capital first?"
"Naturally, I came to the capital first to do business under the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Mephis asked Shen Lang to sit down with a smile, and sat down opposite Shen Lang himself, and said:
"Shen Butou came to the Storm Hall today, what is your business?"
Shen Lang cut to the chase:
"I heard that people from the Storm Guild Hall are asking for information about me. Is this true?"
Mephis didn't change his face, and admitted frankly:
"Yes, and this matter is exactly my arrangement."
Shen Lang said lightly:
"Your Excellency Mephis is very straightforward. Then I would like to ask, what do you want to do?"
Mephis met Shen Lang's gaze with sincere eyes and a sincere tone:
"The reason why I inquired about Shen Butou's news is just to know what you like, and then to fall in love with you, so as to form a good relationship with you."
Shen Lang chuckled:
"I'm a little strange about this. I'm neither a high-ranking official of the imperial court nor a high-ranking person. I'm just a small policeman in the Shenzhutang. I'm good at arresting criminals and investigating cases, and I'm not involved in major diplomatic affairs. Your Excellency is a member of the diplomatic corps. , if you want to find someone to form a good relationship with, you should also look for those court officials who can talk about foreign affairs, or well-connected high-ranking dignitaries, why come to me?"
Mephis smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly sounded outside the door:
"Let me tell you."
Shen Lang followed the prestige, and his eyes lit up.
I saw that the person who came was wearing a snow-white battle skirt reaching to the ankle, wearing silver-gray combat boots, a silver-gray breastplate on his chest, a golden sheathed cross sword hanging from his waist, a blue collar and a white velvet-trimmed cloak on his head. A small and exquisite princess crown inlaid with rubies, hair like gold threads, eyes like emeralds, exquisite facial features, picturesque eyebrows, a beautiful girl with white skin like snow.
She is not tall, about 1.5 meters five, but she has a lot of aura.
When she fluttered her cloak, held on to the hilt of the sword, and walked forward with clanging footsteps, she seemed to be walking like a dragon and a tiger. For a moment, Shen Lang felt as if he had seen a woman like Mu Qingxue again. Valkyrie.
There is no doubt that this girl is Princess Azalia of the Storm Kingdom.
When Shen Lang was impressed by Aishaliya's beauty and temperament.
When Her Royal Highness saw Shen Lang standing up, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved by his appearance and figure.
This young warrior, who was only two years older than her, was already well-known in the east. He was tall, with a straight spine, broad shoulders and long legs, and clear facial features. Son of Blood.
Thinking of his achievements again, the tall and handsome young warrior has added an aura of invincible bravery, which made Her Royal Highness think of those epic heroes who are both handsome and brave in western epics and have created countless great achievements.
For a moment.
Her Royal Highness suddenly had an urge to try every means and even use any means to conquer Shen Lang and bring him back to the kingdom.
The red dragon is the most domineering and violent ancient true dragon in the west.
As a person who has awakened the blood of the red dragon, Her Royal Highness's seemingly weak and petite body also hides the domineering and violent nature of the red dragon.
Of course, as a seventh-order golden knight, Azalia has a strong will and cannot be dominated by her blood nature. She quickly suppressed the impulse in her heart and walked in front of Shen Lang without changing her face.
Memphis consciously stood beside the princess and introduced to Shen Lang:
"This is: the Red Dragon Born by the Storm, the eldest princess of the Storm Kingdom, the second in line heir to the Kingdom, the lord of Shimmer Forest and Red Dragon Castle, the protector of the forest elves, the sword bearer of the Wind King's holy sword, the terminator of the Storm Kraken, Seventh-rank Golden Knight, Dragon Trainer, Flying Dragon Knight, Her Royal Highness Princess Azalia."
Counting the boots, the petite princess, who was only about 1.5 meters 1.8, pressed her sword in her hand, looked up at Shen Lang, who was [-] meters [-], and nodded slightly at him.
Shen Lang was a little depressed: he should have brought Gu Hongye in earlier.
With her cleverness, she can definitely give me a lot of prestigious titles.
For example: a sage who descended from the sky, a genius who cultivated both martial arts and martial arts, the youngest famous arrester, a ruthless conqueror, a demon killer, a killer of evil, a light of righteousness... blah blah blah.
But now he is alone, he can't claim the title by himself, can he?
That was too out of style.
So he could only smile slightly at Azalia:
"Shen Catch Hall, Shen Lang."
"I've heard of you. Mr. Cold-blooded Human Slayer, your name has already shaken the East."
Aishaliya also speaks fluent Eastern Mandarin, but she only chooses words and sentences, which is not as Eastern as Memphis.
If it was Mephis, he would only say "cold-blooded human slaughter", not the title of "cold-blooded human slaughterer", which made Shen Lang dumbfounded.
Resisting the urge to complain, Shen Lang smiled and said:
"Her Royal Highness speaks Mandarin very fluently. Could it be that you have learned Eastern dialect?"
Aishaliya also smiled slightly, two small delicate dimples emerged from her beautiful red lips like diamond petals:
"No. But I have always been 'proficient in language'. As long as I get acquainted with it for a while, I can speak and speak any language in the world fluently. Of course, it is only limited to listening and speaking, reading and writing cannot be achieved."
Shen Lang suddenly said: "So that's the case."
Shen Lang also has the proficiency in language endowed by "Dian Jingben".
However, the ability to write fine brushes is much stronger. Shen Lang doesn't need any familiarization process, he can directly listen to, and read any language and characters in the world.
So even if Aishaliya doesn't understand Dongtu Mandarin, he can communicate with her without barriers.
After getting acquainted, the two sides sat down again as guest and host.
Before Shen Lang could ask another question, Aishaliya stared into his eyes and said straight to the point:
"Catcher Shen, you are the youngest and most promising warrior in the East, but as far as I know, your department doesn't seem to be popular with the upper class in the East? The royal family, officials, and nobles all seem to be hostile to you?"
Shen Lang said calmly:
"We are law enforcement officers. People with ghosts in their hearts will certainly not like us."
Aishaliya said in a serious tone:
"It's understandable that the greedy nobles and officials don't like you, but the royal family doesn't like you either... Don't they know that what you are doing is constantly removing the cancer on the empire, so that the empire can live a long and healthy life?" ?”
Shen Lang raised his eyebrows:
"What exactly does your highness want to say?"
Aishaliya solemnly said:
"Your emperor and royal family are already decayed. They no longer cherish their own dynasty. Why do you want to protect their family business for them? Not only is there no benefit, but the rewards of hard work and bloodshed are endless. Suppression and hostility. Such a fatuous and incompetent emperor and royal family are not worthy of a hero like you."
Shen Lang chuckled:
"Your Highness, you may have misunderstood something. What we really protect is not the emperor or the royal family, otherwise, we would not be hostile or suppressed by them."
Azalia frowned and said:
"But no matter what, it is a fact that you have been suppressed.
"Now that invincible eagle in the sky and the demigod in the world are still there, those who are hostile to you can't really do anything to you. But have you ever thought that it is impossible for a demigod to stay in the world forever? One day, he will lift up his throne and go to the kingdom of the gods.
"At that time, the upper echelons of the empire who have been seriously dissatisfied with you for a long time: the emperor, the royal family, high-ranking officials, nobles... will definitely attack you together. At that time, who will provide you with shelter?"
Hearing this, combined with the princess' previous statement that the emperor and the royal family are not worth serving, Shen Lang almost understood what Azalia meant:
"His Royal Highness wants to recruit me?"
Azalia nodded her chin, staring at Shen Lang with emerald green eyes, her eyes were sincere and eager:
"Yes, I want to recruit you. Not only you, but also your wife, your colleagues, I want to recruit them all.
"If you stay in the East, the future is clear at a glance, why don't you start preparing for the future now?"
Just as Shen Lang was about to speak, Aishaliya raised her hand to stop him, and continued:
"Boss Shen, you might as well listen to my conditions first.
"As long as you are willing to serve me, I can give you a fief. Now, of course, I can only carve out a small piece of territory for you in my own fief, but in the future, I promise you will be able to get it" Duke' title, owning a duchy worthy of your title.
"I can also allow you to rebuild the God of Catching Hall, and first enforce the law in my territory. In the future, your law enforcement authority will be expanded to the entire Storm Kingdom.
"I promise to trust you unconditionally, and I will never hostile or suppress you like the emperor of the empire.
"Land, wealth, power, honor, trust...follow me, I can give you all of these!"
Listening to her firm words and looking at her sincere and eager eyes, Shen Lang believed that everything that Her Royal Highness said came from the heart, and that if he would serve her, he would really get everything she promised.
however……
"Your Highness, you are only the second in line to inherit the Storm Kingdom, right?"
"Yes."
"But your promise has already exceeded your scope of power." Shen Lang looked at Azalea and said meaningfully: "His Royal Highness has great ambitions."
"I am the real red dragon."
Aishaliya looked at Shen Lang without hesitation, and the emerald green pupils were burning with raging flames. At this moment, her petite body showed a turbulent and domineering aura, and even projected a huge wave on the wall behind her. , spreading its wings, forming the shadow of a giant dragon roaring upwards.
This momentum is exactly the legendary "Longwei", which is enough to shake people's primordial spirit.
For a martial artist of the fourth or fifth rank, with her aura, she might not even be able to control her body.
Ordinary third-rank warriors will also be greatly affected.
Even Dharma cultivators, only fourth-rank Daoist monks, can rely on their powerful primordial power to resist the influence of this aura, but the casting of spells will definitely not be as smooth as under normal circumstances.
Even Mephis, who was supposed to be used to her "Longwei", couldn't help trembling slightly when her aura broke out, fine hairy sweat oozing from her bald head.
However, Shen Lang remained unmoved.
He once confronted the spider mother in a nightmare, broke through the spider mother's confusion, repelled the spider mother with one stroke, and gave birth to a little spider.
He also once sat on the Iron Throne on the Doomsday Volcano, leaning against the dark tower, facing the projection of the Demon Buddha and the remnant soul of the ancient god.
With the tempering of his soul, not to mention Azalia's dragon power, even the blood ancestor of the storm royal family, the true dragon king "Red Dragon King" who can wrestle with the true god, if he releases the dragon power in front of him, he will not be able to. He cannot be overwhelmed by momentum alone.
Shen Lang sat calmly, facing Azalia's "Longwei", and even picked up the teacup, while sipping tea leisurely, while admiring the projection of the giant dragon with its head raised and its wings spread on the wall behind her.
Seeing that he was not affected by the "Longwei" at all, Aishaliya couldn't help flashing a hint of admiration in her green pupils, and a strong desire to conquer spontaneously rose in her heart.
If you can ignore Longwei, you can ignore the divine might of the Sons of God. This man is worth conquering!
However, she soon suppressed the impulse to conquer in her heart again, and at the same time put away her momentum, raised her chin slightly, and said slowly:
"My elder brother, Hailis, the first heir of the kingdom, has not awakened the blood of the red dragon. He can become the crown prince only because he is the firstborn son of my father and has the support of the Church of the King of the North Wind.
"But among the people, his reputation is not good. The people don't think that he can be a good king and lead the kingdom to prosperity."
Shen Lang held the teacup in both hands, smiled and shook his head:
"Your Highness, as far as I know, the Western countries are greatly influenced by the gods. Since Brother Ling has the support of the Church of the King of the North Wind, then no matter how true the Red Dragon is, Your Highness, you may not be able to take over the throne. .
"This point, Her Royal Highness must be well aware of it.
"The reason why you tried to recruit people in the East is probably because we people in the East don't respect the gods of the West very much. Even if you want to start a rebellion against the Church of the King of the North Wind, we will respond to you without any scruples, right? "
Azalia pursed her lips and said with a light smile:
"As expected of Mr. Shen, who has repeatedly solved strange cases, he really easily saw through my intentions."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"His Royal Highness is also bold and frank. You and I just met for the first time, and you dare to tell me such a plan for the country."
Azalia smiled and said:
"It's because you deserve my honesty."
After a pause, he asked solemnly:
"Shen Butou, what do you really think about my proposal?"
Shen Lang put down his teacup and sighed softly:
"His Royal Highness's frankness moved me, but it's a pity that I have too many bonds in Dongtu..."
Azalia said:
"I'm not in a hurry. Today is just an intention. In the future...after the sky eagle leaves the world, if you and your companions have nowhere to go, I hope you can remember that in the distant Kingdom of Storms, I can help you Provide shelter."
Shen Lang smiled:
"His Royal Highness treats me with sincerity, so I won't lie - it's hard to say what the future holds, but I am confident that even if the mountain that protects us from the wind and rain leaves now, I myself can grow into a The pillar of the sky that shelters the wind and rain. Dongtu..."
Shen Lang shook his head:
"In short, please don't make unnecessary expectations, Your Highness the Princess."
Dongtu is not Shen Lang's homeland.
In this world, he is a real prodigal son, it doesn't matter where he goes.
But who told him that all his fetters are in the east?
Azalia looked slightly disappointed, but still nodded with a smile:
"Don't worry, the future is still uncertain. I will not make unnecessary expectations, but I will always reserve a seat for you in the kingdom."
"His Royal Highness's generosity really makes me a little ashamed."
Shen Lang smiled helplessly, shook his head, and changed the subject:
"By the way, does Your Royal Highness know Carlos, the third prince of the Ryan Kingdom?"
"Carlos of Ryan?"
Azalia's slender and beautiful brows were slightly frowned, and a look of displeasure flashed in her eyes:
"That is an extremely conceited, extremely arrogant, extremely lustful, and insatiable guy. His words and deeds are disgusting. If he is not the leader of the Ryan Mission, I would have challenged him to a duel!"
Initiate a duel?
This is to fight him?
As for why...
Based on the comment of "extremely lustful" and Azalia's beauty, Shen Lang can probably guess how that Prince Carlos offended Azalia.
At this time, Aishaliya asked Shen Lang again:
"Why did Catcher Shen ask that disgusting guy?"
Shen Lang said:
"I heard that the people of Ryan Kingdom are also inquiring about me. And they mainly inquire about my achievements and means."
Aishaliya frowned slightly:
"Captain Shen, you have to be careful, based on what I know about Carlos, he is likely to challenge you."
Shen Lang said:
"I also have this guess, but I can't figure out why he wants to challenge me."
Aishaliya thought for a while and said:
"Carlos is very proud. He claims to be the number one genius in the world. He believes that no one of his age can surpass him. You happen to be his age, and you have a record of beheading seventh-level warriors. Carlos may want to borrow your reputation , to show off the eastern land."
In addition, she has another guess:
Carlos is extremely lustful, and also has a strong desire to conquer from the "Lord of War".
When he was in the Western Continent, he didn't even spare his sisters. In order to conquer several well-known married beauties, he challenged and killed their husbands.
On the way to Dongtu, Carlos also wanted to attack Azalia.
However, although Azalia is not a descendant of God, she has also awakened the blood of the Red Dragon King who is not inferior to the descendant of God, and her realm is not inferior to Carlos.As the princess of the Storm Kingdom and the leader of the envoys, Carlos couldn't use force on her, so he never succeeded.
With Carlos' lust, after coming to Dongtu, he will definitely inquire about famous beauties in Dongtu.
As for Dongtu's most famous beauties in recent years, apart from the two first-rank real people who are too high to be provoked, it is Mu Qingxue whose reputation is still higher than Shen Lang.
Mu Qingxue's strength can also arouse Carlos' desire to conquer.
So in Azalia's mind, Carlos may have the idea of killing his husband and taking his wife apart from stepping on Shen Lang to make a name for himself.
Of course, there is no evidence for this guess, and Shen Lang doesn't know Carlos' reputation in the Western Continent. If she said it, he might misunderstand that she was slandering and sowing dissension, so Azalia didn't say anything about this guess. Export.
While thinking about it, Shen Lang asked again:
"Does Your Royal Highness know what methods Carlos has?"
Aishaliya pondered for a while, and said:
"Carlos is the pure-blooded son of the King of War. He is born with 'divine power', but it should have no effect on you. He is still born with a body of steel. He is not afraid of cold weapons such as knives, guns, bows and arrows, not even muskets and artillery.
"He is so powerful that he can lift a thousand catties at the age of ten. He also has a pair of 'spell-breaking pupils', which can easily dispel any fifth-level witchcraft just by looking at it--the fifth-level witchcraft corresponds to Dongtu The fifth-rank Taoism, but it is not clear whether the "Pupil of Breaking the Law" can dispel the fifth-rank Taoism of Dongtu.
"These are just his 'talents'. In addition to his talents, he is also a seventh-level golden knight who cultivates 'iron and blood power', and has reached a high-level level, corresponding to the third-rank Dacheng of Dongtu.
"He is a master of weapons, proficient in all weapons of war. He is also very good in unarmed combat, proficient in fist, foot and joint techniques.
"He also has a halo of war. When he unfolds this halo, his power will always be at the peak level, no matter how much he consumes, there will be no decline. And his opponent will be suppressed by the halo, regardless of spells or combat skills, Consumption will be about 20.00% more than usual.
"He has an artifact called the 'Fist of War', a five-petal mace with five abilities: Weakness, Chaos, Fear, Armor Breaking, and Soul Devouring.
"The power of debilitation can continuously weaken people's strength and physical strength. The power of chaos can make people lose their limbs and become clumsy and dull. The power of fear can make people lose courage and fighting spirit. The power of broken armor can smash all defenses. The power can directly injure the soul of the enemy. Carlos even used this hammer to kill a god son of the "earth god" of the same level as him.
"In the end, as a pure-blood son of God, Carlos doesn't have any vitals. Even if he can break his protective power and the body of steel, he can't find where his vitals are. It's useless to break the heart or smash the head.
"If you want to kill a pure-blood god son, you can only try to use up his 'golden blood'. The way to consume the golden blood is to keep severely injuring him, and let him continue to consume in the process of self-healing.
"But a strong man like Carlos will not easily fall twice in the same place. If you smash his head once, he will not give you a second chance. If you pierce his heart once, he will not The same flaw will be exposed again.
"Fight for consumption, he has a 'war aura', you can explode a few times with all your strength, and you may seriously injure him a few times, but you also consume a lot, but he is still at his peak... In short, if you want to kill a Golden Knight The pure-blood god son, it is too difficult."
Her Royal Highness did not hesitate to expose Carlos to the bottom of the sky--in addition to aggression and conquest, the "Lord of War" also has a side that is proficient in strategy.However, Carlos didn't seem to inherit the strategy of the king of war, only inherited his father's endless desire to conquer.
His character is also extremely proud and conceited, he doesn't bother to hide his abilities at all, and even wants to use a loudspeaker to let the world publicize how powerful he is.
But then again, Carlos, who was born with a body of steel, magic-breaking eyes, infinite divine power, and almost immortal body, seems to have the confidence to hide it.
So what if he knew his methods?
Not to mention the same level, even if it is one level higher than him, it is extremely difficult to kill him.
Even in a duel with him at the same level, if you know his abilities in advance, you will lose confidence and fighting spirit, be timid before fighting, and lose more thoroughly.
But Azalia believes that Shen Lang, who can calmly drink tea in the face of her "Longwei", will definitely not lose confidence because he knows Carlos' ability.
For young heroes like Shen Lang who are destined to become epic, the stronger the enemy, the more excited they will be.
"This information is very important to me, thank you, Your Royal Highness."
Shen Lang stood up, bowed to Aishaliya, and accepted her favor.
Her Royal Highness smiled:
"You don't have to thank me, I hate Carlos very much, I hate him very much. If he dies in the East, then I will be the happiest person."
Of course she also wanted to kill Carlos.
But not to mention whether she has the ability to kill Carlos, even if she has that ability, if it triggers a war between the Kingdom of Ryan and the Kingdom of Storms, the consequences will be quite serious.
But Carlos died in the east and was killed by a strong man in the east, so there was no trouble at all.
No matter how powerful the Ryan Kingdom is, no matter how powerful the King of War is, can it still reach out to the East?
After figuring out the purpose of the Storm Kingdom to inquire about him, and obtaining information about Carlos, Shen Lang's trip to the Storm Hall can be said to be a complete success.
Say goodbye to Azalia immediately.
Aisha Liya smiled and asked:
"Why should Shen Butou leave in a hurry? I hit it off with Shen Butou immediately, and I want to talk to you more about the customs and customs of the West and the East. There are still excellent chefs in the guild hall. Shen Butou might as well stay and join me. For lunch, let's taste the special food of the Storm Kingdom?"
After chatting for so long, Azalia's diction has gradually become more and more Eastern, which shows that she has a constant "language proficiency" ability and a strong ability to learn and adjust.
To be honest, facing such a beautiful, elegant, and sassy girl princess, Shen Lang was really moved for a while.
But thinking that Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi are still waiting for him, if he doesn't go out for a long time, they will misunderstand that the Storm Kingdom is really going to be bad for him, and run back to the God Catching Hall to shake people, then it will be a lot of fun.
Now declined:
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, but I still have a companion waiting for me outside, and I still have some things to do. Let's wait another day."
He really has something to do, and he still has to make alchemy. He has to strike while the iron is hot, and improve the quality of the fourth-grade "Quenching True Pill".
In addition, I have to go back and plan carefully. If I am really challenged by that almost unbeatable Prince Carlos, what methods should I prepare.
Her Royal Highness smiled and said:
"Another day? Tomorrow?"
I'm not free tomorrow either!
After all, Shen Langxin was a Western princess, even if she knew the language well, she still couldn't understand the deep meaning of the Eastern language.
After thinking about it, he invited Azalia in turn:
"Since your highness has inquired about me, you should know where I live, right? How about this, your highness will come to my house tomorrow night, and I will cook for you personally, and treat you to taste the delicacies of the east."
Azalia said in surprise:
"Cooking by yourself? A character like you actually cooks by yourself?"
Shen Lang chuckled:
"Cooking is one of my few hobbies. Since I want to entertain Her Royal Highness, I have to do it myself to show my sincerity."
Aishaliya thought for a while, then nodded slightly:
"Okay, I'll go to your house tomorrow evening."
After making an agreement, Shen Lang took his leave and left. Aishaliya sent him out of the living room and watched him leave. There were both regrets and expectations in the emerald green eyes.
It is a pity that Shen Lang was not able to be persuaded. What I look forward to is that the personal relationship with Shen Lang has a good start.
If he continues to get along like this, if he loses a foothold in the Eastern Land in the future, maybe it is really possible to go to the Storm Kingdom to serve her.
[Seek a monthly pass~! 】
(End of this chapter)
After leaving the yamen of Shenchoutang, Shen Lang, Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi went straight to West Market.
Not long after the breakfast time, all the shops and street vendors in West Market have opened, and the streets and alleys are already bustling with people.
Shopkeepers, stallholders, and pedestrians on the street, there are not only Dongtu people, but also foreigners with different hair and eyes, high nose and deep eyes. Those strange looks make Bai Shishi gasp in amazement. , an eye-opener look.
As a time traveler, Shen Lang looked calm and didn't find anything unusual.
Of course, if there were a few fantasy races like elves, orcs, centaurs, etc., he might be a little amazed—even if he was a traveler, he had never seen a fantasy race in reality, right?
Gu Hongye, who has been patrolling the West Market for several days, has long been familiar with all kinds of barbarian people.
While leading Shen Lang and Bai Shishi to the direction of the "Storm Kingdom" clubhouse, she introduced them:
"That store sells western wool products. The wool carpets are very well made. The materials, weavers, dyeing, and patterns are all very good. As for the wool clothes, although the materials are solid and thick to keep warm, they hurt your hands when you touch them. Not very comfortable, I'm afraid.
"That store deals in all kinds of trinkets, including Western-style gold, silver, and wooden ware, as well as crystal and glass products, and some Xibei goods that are called gems, but are actually colorful and beautiful pebbles.
"That small shop sells all kinds of western pastries, baked and sold right away, with unique shapes and unique flavors, and it's not bad to eat once in a while... That shop is a perfume shop, specializing in all kinds of western perfumes, and also selling drinks ..."
"What is that store for? Why isn't it open?"
Bai Shishi pointed to an elegantly decorated small building with red lacquer and asked.
The corners of Gu Hongye's lips are slightly raised:
"It's a western brothel filled with foreign women. Since it's a brothel, it's naturally closed during the day and opened in the evening."
Bai Shishi wondered:
"Western barbarians look so weird, can the brothel business survive?"
Gu Hongye smiled and said:
"However, there are more people in the world who like to try something new. The business of several foreign brothels in the West Market is so hot every night. They come a little later, and they can't even order a foot-washing maid."
Looking at the new things all the way, and occasionally going to the store to buy some novelty gadgets, after a full hour, the three of Shen Lang finally came to the gate of the "Storm Kingdom" guild hall.
The guild hall of the Storm Kingdom is a compound with three entrances and three exits. The exterior is still in the shape of Dongtu. There are two stone statues of armored warriors at the door, and there is a storm and lightning badge on the door plaque.
At this moment, the door of the guild hall was wide open, and two Western warriors with their swords in their hands stood guard at the door, and barbarians came in and out from the door from time to time.All the barbarians who came in and out wore a storm and lightning badge of the Storm Kingdom on their necklines.
Standing across the street from the guild hall and observing for a while, Shen Lang said to Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi:
"Go shopping by yourself first, I'll go in and inquire."
Gu Hongye was a little worried:
"We'd better accompany you in. In case the people of Storm Kingdom have evil plans against you..."
Shen Lang chuckled:
"You know my strength. Don't say that the people of the Storm Kingdom may not have any malicious intentions towards me. Even if they did, would they still dare to attack me in broad daylight in the capital? Even if they are really mad at me If you make a move, how can you get me? Don't worry, I have already prepared everything."
After speaking, he waved his hands to Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi, and strode towards the gate of the guild hall.
……
The backyard of the hall.
In an oriental style, elegantly decorated flower hall.
The blond-haired, blue-eyed, delicate-featured, petite princess Azalea, wearing a brocade dress embroidered with peonies on a white background, is kneeling on a soft couch, holding a teacup in both hands, sipping tea while listening to the The bearded clerk Mephis reported that the envoys were still on their way, and it would take at least seven or eight days to arrive in the capital.
But Aishaliya and her clerk had already left the embassy, rushed to the capital ahead of schedule, and lived in the Storm Guild Hall.
If you come to the capital with the envoys, you have to live in an official hotel such as the "Concierge Courtyard" arranged by the Ministry of Rites. If you want to go out, you have to report your itinerary to the Ministry of Rites of the Empire in advance, and you can only go out after getting the approval of the Ministry of Rites and arranging guides and guards. ,Very inconvenient.
Therefore, Her Royal Highness, relying on her own strength, secretly left the mission and came to the capital early to take advantage of the spare few days to move freely and do her own things.
"Your Highness, it is easy to inquire about Shen's record. You can hear his story in any tavern. But about his private life, it is almost impossible to inquire about any valuable information."
Memphis said helplessly:
"He lived in a neighborhood with almost no outsiders, across the door from his wife's residence, and neighbors who were also his colleagues. Other than that, there were no neighbors around.
"He also never communicates with outsiders, does not participate in any social activities, and only deals with his colleagues. And his colleagues will not disclose any secrets of department personnel to the outside world. So...we can't find out his life preferences at all. "
Her Royal Highness asked:
"Did he never go shopping, never go to pubs, casinos, brothels?"
Memphis spread his hands:
"He occasionally went shopping and went to pubs, but all with his wife and colleagues. As for casinos and brothels, I have never heard of him having such hobbies."
Azalia chuckled lightly:
"It sounds like he is a very self-disciplined man, so self-disciplined that he is almost rigid and boring, and he doesn't look like a young man at all."
Memphis smiled and said:
"Maybe it's because his wife, the 'ruthless steel judge' Ms. Mu is too strong? She is only 22 years old, and she is already an eighth-rank knight. If I have such a strong wife, I will be like Shen is as self-disciplined."
Azalia's slender and delicate brows were slightly frowned, a little distressed:
"A man who has no interest in life and is almost like an ascetic monk... How can we recruit such a person?"
Memphis sighed:
"Your Highness, I have already reminded you that it is almost impossible to recruit Shen and Mu. Judging from the current situation, even if you want to form a personal friendship with them, there is nowhere to start..."
Before he finished speaking, the maid's voice came from outside the door, stammering and a little nervous:
"His Royal Highness, a man who claims to be Shen Chou Tang, Shen Lang, asks to see the person in charge of the guild hall..."
Hearing this notification, Azalia and Mephis looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
But soon, Azalia raised her eyebrows and said to the maid outside the door:
"Take that visitor to the living room, ask him to wait a moment, I will go to see him in person!"
After ordering the maid, the princess looked at Mephis again, smiled and said:
"This may be an opportunity."
Memphis frowned:
"But why did Shen come to visit the guild hall? Could it be that he knew about our inquiring about him? Will this cause him some misunderstandings?"
Azalia smiled and said:
"It's okay, we have no malice against him. As a law enforcement officer who has repeatedly solved strange cases, I think he should be able to make accurate judgments."
After she finished speaking, she stood up, looked down at the lady's clothes on her body, thought for a while, and said:
"When you meet him for the first time, you can't dress like this to meet him."
Memphis nodded in agreement:
"Dongtu clothing may make him feel friendly, but it is more likely to make him feel that he is not dignified enough, thinking that we do not respect him."
"I'm going to change clothes." Azalia lifted the skirt with both hands, and walked quickly to the side door, "Mephis, you go to entertain him first, and find out why he is here."
Memphis pressed his hand on his chest, bowed slightly, "I obey, Your Royal Highness."
……
Shen Lang followed a Xiyi maid in a low-cut dress to the living room, sat on a big mahogany chair, waited for the maid to bring him tea and snacks, and then asked with a smile:
"When will your master come?"
Although this maid is a woman from Xiyi, she has been working in the guild hall all year round, and she has long been able to speak Dongtu official dialect proficiently. She immediately bowed and saluted, and replied in fluent Dongtu official dialect:
"Honor the guest, the master will come soon."
Shen Lang nodded, picked up the teacup, sniffed the fragrance of the tea lightly, at the same time tapped the brand with a fine brush with his left hand to warm it up slightly, swept the tea, and after identifying it as non-toxic, he took a shallow sip.
Although he is sure that the people in the Storm Kingdom have no intention of murdering him, and they have the third-level vitality enhancement that is not afraid of poisonous or even supernatural toxins, but with Shen Lang's stability, even if he buys the ingredients himself, or even puts them in his own kitchen. , Before cooking, they must be scanned and appraised first, and the food prepared by outsiders naturally needs to be appraised first.
After drinking a few sips of tea, he heard footsteps outside the door, and then he saw a bearded bald man wearing an oriental Confucian shirt stepping over the threshold, striding into the hall, clasping his fists and clasping his hands again and again, He laughed loudly:
"I have admired the great name of Shen Butou for a long time, and when I see you today, I know that it is better to meet each other than to be famous, and it is better to be famous when you meet!"
This bearded man is not only proficient and fluent in Dongtu official language, but also uses a set of words. If you don't look at his appearance, but only listen to his voice, you may think that this is a bold Dongtu Jianghu.
The other party is so polite, of course Shen Lang will not be arrogant, put down his teacup, stood up and cupped his hands:
"Your honor is too high. Didn't you ask your name?"
The bearded bald man smiled and said:
"In Memphis, I will be the clerk of Princess Azalia of our country."
Shen Lang raised his eyebrows in surprise:
"Princess Azalia's clerk? Your Excellency Mephis is a member of the mission?"
Memphis nodded with a smile:
"That's right, I am one of the members of the envoy following Her Highness the Princess to the East."
Shen Lang said:
"But as far as I know, the envoys from Western countries are still on their way, right? Why did Your Excellency the Secretary come to the capital first?"
"Naturally, I came to the capital first to do business under the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Mephis asked Shen Lang to sit down with a smile, and sat down opposite Shen Lang himself, and said:
"Shen Butou came to the Storm Hall today, what is your business?"
Shen Lang cut to the chase:
"I heard that people from the Storm Guild Hall are asking for information about me. Is this true?"
Mephis didn't change his face, and admitted frankly:
"Yes, and this matter is exactly my arrangement."
Shen Lang said lightly:
"Your Excellency Mephis is very straightforward. Then I would like to ask, what do you want to do?"
Mephis met Shen Lang's gaze with sincere eyes and a sincere tone:
"The reason why I inquired about Shen Butou's news is just to know what you like, and then to fall in love with you, so as to form a good relationship with you."
Shen Lang chuckled:
"I'm a little strange about this. I'm neither a high-ranking official of the imperial court nor a high-ranking person. I'm just a small policeman in the Shenzhutang. I'm good at arresting criminals and investigating cases, and I'm not involved in major diplomatic affairs. Your Excellency is a member of the diplomatic corps. , if you want to find someone to form a good relationship with, you should also look for those court officials who can talk about foreign affairs, or well-connected high-ranking dignitaries, why come to me?"
Mephis smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly sounded outside the door:
"Let me tell you."
Shen Lang followed the prestige, and his eyes lit up.
I saw that the person who came was wearing a snow-white battle skirt reaching to the ankle, wearing silver-gray combat boots, a silver-gray breastplate on his chest, a golden sheathed cross sword hanging from his waist, a blue collar and a white velvet-trimmed cloak on his head. A small and exquisite princess crown inlaid with rubies, hair like gold threads, eyes like emeralds, exquisite facial features, picturesque eyebrows, a beautiful girl with white skin like snow.
She is not tall, about 1.5 meters five, but she has a lot of aura.
When she fluttered her cloak, held on to the hilt of the sword, and walked forward with clanging footsteps, she seemed to be walking like a dragon and a tiger. For a moment, Shen Lang felt as if he had seen a woman like Mu Qingxue again. Valkyrie.
There is no doubt that this girl is Princess Azalia of the Storm Kingdom.
When Shen Lang was impressed by Aishaliya's beauty and temperament.
When Her Royal Highness saw Shen Lang standing up, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved by his appearance and figure.
This young warrior, who was only two years older than her, was already well-known in the east. He was tall, with a straight spine, broad shoulders and long legs, and clear facial features. Son of Blood.
Thinking of his achievements again, the tall and handsome young warrior has added an aura of invincible bravery, which made Her Royal Highness think of those epic heroes who are both handsome and brave in western epics and have created countless great achievements.
For a moment.
Her Royal Highness suddenly had an urge to try every means and even use any means to conquer Shen Lang and bring him back to the kingdom.
The red dragon is the most domineering and violent ancient true dragon in the west.
As a person who has awakened the blood of the red dragon, Her Royal Highness's seemingly weak and petite body also hides the domineering and violent nature of the red dragon.
Of course, as a seventh-order golden knight, Azalia has a strong will and cannot be dominated by her blood nature. She quickly suppressed the impulse in her heart and walked in front of Shen Lang without changing her face.
Memphis consciously stood beside the princess and introduced to Shen Lang:
"This is: the Red Dragon Born by the Storm, the eldest princess of the Storm Kingdom, the second in line heir to the Kingdom, the lord of Shimmer Forest and Red Dragon Castle, the protector of the forest elves, the sword bearer of the Wind King's holy sword, the terminator of the Storm Kraken, Seventh-rank Golden Knight, Dragon Trainer, Flying Dragon Knight, Her Royal Highness Princess Azalia."
Counting the boots, the petite princess, who was only about 1.5 meters 1.8, pressed her sword in her hand, looked up at Shen Lang, who was [-] meters [-], and nodded slightly at him.
Shen Lang was a little depressed: he should have brought Gu Hongye in earlier.
With her cleverness, she can definitely give me a lot of prestigious titles.
For example: a sage who descended from the sky, a genius who cultivated both martial arts and martial arts, the youngest famous arrester, a ruthless conqueror, a demon killer, a killer of evil, a light of righteousness... blah blah blah.
But now he is alone, he can't claim the title by himself, can he?
That was too out of style.
So he could only smile slightly at Azalia:
"Shen Catch Hall, Shen Lang."
"I've heard of you. Mr. Cold-blooded Human Slayer, your name has already shaken the East."
Aishaliya also speaks fluent Eastern Mandarin, but she only chooses words and sentences, which is not as Eastern as Memphis.
If it was Mephis, he would only say "cold-blooded human slaughter", not the title of "cold-blooded human slaughterer", which made Shen Lang dumbfounded.
Resisting the urge to complain, Shen Lang smiled and said:
"Her Royal Highness speaks Mandarin very fluently. Could it be that you have learned Eastern dialect?"
Aishaliya also smiled slightly, two small delicate dimples emerged from her beautiful red lips like diamond petals:
"No. But I have always been 'proficient in language'. As long as I get acquainted with it for a while, I can speak and speak any language in the world fluently. Of course, it is only limited to listening and speaking, reading and writing cannot be achieved."
Shen Lang suddenly said: "So that's the case."
Shen Lang also has the proficiency in language endowed by "Dian Jingben".
However, the ability to write fine brushes is much stronger. Shen Lang doesn't need any familiarization process, he can directly listen to, and read any language and characters in the world.
So even if Aishaliya doesn't understand Dongtu Mandarin, he can communicate with her without barriers.
After getting acquainted, the two sides sat down again as guest and host.
Before Shen Lang could ask another question, Aishaliya stared into his eyes and said straight to the point:
"Catcher Shen, you are the youngest and most promising warrior in the East, but as far as I know, your department doesn't seem to be popular with the upper class in the East? The royal family, officials, and nobles all seem to be hostile to you?"
Shen Lang said calmly:
"We are law enforcement officers. People with ghosts in their hearts will certainly not like us."
Aishaliya said in a serious tone:
"It's understandable that the greedy nobles and officials don't like you, but the royal family doesn't like you either... Don't they know that what you are doing is constantly removing the cancer on the empire, so that the empire can live a long and healthy life?" ?”
Shen Lang raised his eyebrows:
"What exactly does your highness want to say?"
Aishaliya solemnly said:
"Your emperor and royal family are already decayed. They no longer cherish their own dynasty. Why do you want to protect their family business for them? Not only is there no benefit, but the rewards of hard work and bloodshed are endless. Suppression and hostility. Such a fatuous and incompetent emperor and royal family are not worthy of a hero like you."
Shen Lang chuckled:
"Your Highness, you may have misunderstood something. What we really protect is not the emperor or the royal family, otherwise, we would not be hostile or suppressed by them."
Azalia frowned and said:
"But no matter what, it is a fact that you have been suppressed.
"Now that invincible eagle in the sky and the demigod in the world are still there, those who are hostile to you can't really do anything to you. But have you ever thought that it is impossible for a demigod to stay in the world forever? One day, he will lift up his throne and go to the kingdom of the gods.
"At that time, the upper echelons of the empire who have been seriously dissatisfied with you for a long time: the emperor, the royal family, high-ranking officials, nobles... will definitely attack you together. At that time, who will provide you with shelter?"
Hearing this, combined with the princess' previous statement that the emperor and the royal family are not worth serving, Shen Lang almost understood what Azalia meant:
"His Royal Highness wants to recruit me?"
Azalia nodded her chin, staring at Shen Lang with emerald green eyes, her eyes were sincere and eager:
"Yes, I want to recruit you. Not only you, but also your wife, your colleagues, I want to recruit them all.
"If you stay in the East, the future is clear at a glance, why don't you start preparing for the future now?"
Just as Shen Lang was about to speak, Aishaliya raised her hand to stop him, and continued:
"Boss Shen, you might as well listen to my conditions first.
"As long as you are willing to serve me, I can give you a fief. Now, of course, I can only carve out a small piece of territory for you in my own fief, but in the future, I promise you will be able to get it" Duke' title, owning a duchy worthy of your title.
"I can also allow you to rebuild the God of Catching Hall, and first enforce the law in my territory. In the future, your law enforcement authority will be expanded to the entire Storm Kingdom.
"I promise to trust you unconditionally, and I will never hostile or suppress you like the emperor of the empire.
"Land, wealth, power, honor, trust...follow me, I can give you all of these!"
Listening to her firm words and looking at her sincere and eager eyes, Shen Lang believed that everything that Her Royal Highness said came from the heart, and that if he would serve her, he would really get everything she promised.
however……
"Your Highness, you are only the second in line to inherit the Storm Kingdom, right?"
"Yes."
"But your promise has already exceeded your scope of power." Shen Lang looked at Azalea and said meaningfully: "His Royal Highness has great ambitions."
"I am the real red dragon."
Aishaliya looked at Shen Lang without hesitation, and the emerald green pupils were burning with raging flames. At this moment, her petite body showed a turbulent and domineering aura, and even projected a huge wave on the wall behind her. , spreading its wings, forming the shadow of a giant dragon roaring upwards.
This momentum is exactly the legendary "Longwei", which is enough to shake people's primordial spirit.
For a martial artist of the fourth or fifth rank, with her aura, she might not even be able to control her body.
Ordinary third-rank warriors will also be greatly affected.
Even Dharma cultivators, only fourth-rank Daoist monks, can rely on their powerful primordial power to resist the influence of this aura, but the casting of spells will definitely not be as smooth as under normal circumstances.
Even Mephis, who was supposed to be used to her "Longwei", couldn't help trembling slightly when her aura broke out, fine hairy sweat oozing from her bald head.
However, Shen Lang remained unmoved.
He once confronted the spider mother in a nightmare, broke through the spider mother's confusion, repelled the spider mother with one stroke, and gave birth to a little spider.
He also once sat on the Iron Throne on the Doomsday Volcano, leaning against the dark tower, facing the projection of the Demon Buddha and the remnant soul of the ancient god.
With the tempering of his soul, not to mention Azalia's dragon power, even the blood ancestor of the storm royal family, the true dragon king "Red Dragon King" who can wrestle with the true god, if he releases the dragon power in front of him, he will not be able to. He cannot be overwhelmed by momentum alone.
Shen Lang sat calmly, facing Azalia's "Longwei", and even picked up the teacup, while sipping tea leisurely, while admiring the projection of the giant dragon with its head raised and its wings spread on the wall behind her.
Seeing that he was not affected by the "Longwei" at all, Aishaliya couldn't help flashing a hint of admiration in her green pupils, and a strong desire to conquer spontaneously rose in her heart.
If you can ignore Longwei, you can ignore the divine might of the Sons of God. This man is worth conquering!
However, she soon suppressed the impulse to conquer in her heart again, and at the same time put away her momentum, raised her chin slightly, and said slowly:
"My elder brother, Hailis, the first heir of the kingdom, has not awakened the blood of the red dragon. He can become the crown prince only because he is the firstborn son of my father and has the support of the Church of the King of the North Wind.
"But among the people, his reputation is not good. The people don't think that he can be a good king and lead the kingdom to prosperity."
Shen Lang held the teacup in both hands, smiled and shook his head:
"Your Highness, as far as I know, the Western countries are greatly influenced by the gods. Since Brother Ling has the support of the Church of the King of the North Wind, then no matter how true the Red Dragon is, Your Highness, you may not be able to take over the throne. .
"This point, Her Royal Highness must be well aware of it.
"The reason why you tried to recruit people in the East is probably because we people in the East don't respect the gods of the West very much. Even if you want to start a rebellion against the Church of the King of the North Wind, we will respond to you without any scruples, right? "
Azalia pursed her lips and said with a light smile:
"As expected of Mr. Shen, who has repeatedly solved strange cases, he really easily saw through my intentions."
Shen Lang smiled and said:
"His Royal Highness is also bold and frank. You and I just met for the first time, and you dare to tell me such a plan for the country."
Azalia smiled and said:
"It's because you deserve my honesty."
After a pause, he asked solemnly:
"Shen Butou, what do you really think about my proposal?"
Shen Lang put down his teacup and sighed softly:
"His Royal Highness's frankness moved me, but it's a pity that I have too many bonds in Dongtu..."
Azalia said:
"I'm not in a hurry. Today is just an intention. In the future...after the sky eagle leaves the world, if you and your companions have nowhere to go, I hope you can remember that in the distant Kingdom of Storms, I can help you Provide shelter."
Shen Lang smiled:
"His Royal Highness treats me with sincerity, so I won't lie - it's hard to say what the future holds, but I am confident that even if the mountain that protects us from the wind and rain leaves now, I myself can grow into a The pillar of the sky that shelters the wind and rain. Dongtu..."
Shen Lang shook his head:
"In short, please don't make unnecessary expectations, Your Highness the Princess."
Dongtu is not Shen Lang's homeland.
In this world, he is a real prodigal son, it doesn't matter where he goes.
But who told him that all his fetters are in the east?
Azalia looked slightly disappointed, but still nodded with a smile:
"Don't worry, the future is still uncertain. I will not make unnecessary expectations, but I will always reserve a seat for you in the kingdom."
"His Royal Highness's generosity really makes me a little ashamed."
Shen Lang smiled helplessly, shook his head, and changed the subject:
"By the way, does Your Royal Highness know Carlos, the third prince of the Ryan Kingdom?"
"Carlos of Ryan?"
Azalia's slender and beautiful brows were slightly frowned, and a look of displeasure flashed in her eyes:
"That is an extremely conceited, extremely arrogant, extremely lustful, and insatiable guy. His words and deeds are disgusting. If he is not the leader of the Ryan Mission, I would have challenged him to a duel!"
Initiate a duel?
This is to fight him?
As for why...
Based on the comment of "extremely lustful" and Azalia's beauty, Shen Lang can probably guess how that Prince Carlos offended Azalia.
At this time, Aishaliya asked Shen Lang again:
"Why did Catcher Shen ask that disgusting guy?"
Shen Lang said:
"I heard that the people of Ryan Kingdom are also inquiring about me. And they mainly inquire about my achievements and means."
Aishaliya frowned slightly:
"Captain Shen, you have to be careful, based on what I know about Carlos, he is likely to challenge you."
Shen Lang said:
"I also have this guess, but I can't figure out why he wants to challenge me."
Aishaliya thought for a while and said:
"Carlos is very proud. He claims to be the number one genius in the world. He believes that no one of his age can surpass him. You happen to be his age, and you have a record of beheading seventh-level warriors. Carlos may want to borrow your reputation , to show off the eastern land."
In addition, she has another guess:
Carlos is extremely lustful, and also has a strong desire to conquer from the "Lord of War".
When he was in the Western Continent, he didn't even spare his sisters. In order to conquer several well-known married beauties, he challenged and killed their husbands.
On the way to Dongtu, Carlos also wanted to attack Azalia.
However, although Azalia is not a descendant of God, she has also awakened the blood of the Red Dragon King who is not inferior to the descendant of God, and her realm is not inferior to Carlos.As the princess of the Storm Kingdom and the leader of the envoys, Carlos couldn't use force on her, so he never succeeded.
With Carlos' lust, after coming to Dongtu, he will definitely inquire about famous beauties in Dongtu.
As for Dongtu's most famous beauties in recent years, apart from the two first-rank real people who are too high to be provoked, it is Mu Qingxue whose reputation is still higher than Shen Lang.
Mu Qingxue's strength can also arouse Carlos' desire to conquer.
So in Azalia's mind, Carlos may have the idea of killing his husband and taking his wife apart from stepping on Shen Lang to make a name for himself.
Of course, there is no evidence for this guess, and Shen Lang doesn't know Carlos' reputation in the Western Continent. If she said it, he might misunderstand that she was slandering and sowing dissension, so Azalia didn't say anything about this guess. Export.
While thinking about it, Shen Lang asked again:
"Does Your Royal Highness know what methods Carlos has?"
Aishaliya pondered for a while, and said:
"Carlos is the pure-blooded son of the King of War. He is born with 'divine power', but it should have no effect on you. He is still born with a body of steel. He is not afraid of cold weapons such as knives, guns, bows and arrows, not even muskets and artillery.
"He is so powerful that he can lift a thousand catties at the age of ten. He also has a pair of 'spell-breaking pupils', which can easily dispel any fifth-level witchcraft just by looking at it--the fifth-level witchcraft corresponds to Dongtu The fifth-rank Taoism, but it is not clear whether the "Pupil of Breaking the Law" can dispel the fifth-rank Taoism of Dongtu.
"These are just his 'talents'. In addition to his talents, he is also a seventh-level golden knight who cultivates 'iron and blood power', and has reached a high-level level, corresponding to the third-rank Dacheng of Dongtu.
"He is a master of weapons, proficient in all weapons of war. He is also very good in unarmed combat, proficient in fist, foot and joint techniques.
"He also has a halo of war. When he unfolds this halo, his power will always be at the peak level, no matter how much he consumes, there will be no decline. And his opponent will be suppressed by the halo, regardless of spells or combat skills, Consumption will be about 20.00% more than usual.
"He has an artifact called the 'Fist of War', a five-petal mace with five abilities: Weakness, Chaos, Fear, Armor Breaking, and Soul Devouring.
"The power of debilitation can continuously weaken people's strength and physical strength. The power of chaos can make people lose their limbs and become clumsy and dull. The power of fear can make people lose courage and fighting spirit. The power of broken armor can smash all defenses. The power can directly injure the soul of the enemy. Carlos even used this hammer to kill a god son of the "earth god" of the same level as him.
"In the end, as a pure-blood son of God, Carlos doesn't have any vitals. Even if he can break his protective power and the body of steel, he can't find where his vitals are. It's useless to break the heart or smash the head.
"If you want to kill a pure-blood god son, you can only try to use up his 'golden blood'. The way to consume the golden blood is to keep severely injuring him, and let him continue to consume in the process of self-healing.
"But a strong man like Carlos will not easily fall twice in the same place. If you smash his head once, he will not give you a second chance. If you pierce his heart once, he will not The same flaw will be exposed again.
"Fight for consumption, he has a 'war aura', you can explode a few times with all your strength, and you may seriously injure him a few times, but you also consume a lot, but he is still at his peak... In short, if you want to kill a Golden Knight The pure-blood god son, it is too difficult."
Her Royal Highness did not hesitate to expose Carlos to the bottom of the sky--in addition to aggression and conquest, the "Lord of War" also has a side that is proficient in strategy.However, Carlos didn't seem to inherit the strategy of the king of war, only inherited his father's endless desire to conquer.
His character is also extremely proud and conceited, he doesn't bother to hide his abilities at all, and even wants to use a loudspeaker to let the world publicize how powerful he is.
But then again, Carlos, who was born with a body of steel, magic-breaking eyes, infinite divine power, and almost immortal body, seems to have the confidence to hide it.
So what if he knew his methods?
Not to mention the same level, even if it is one level higher than him, it is extremely difficult to kill him.
Even in a duel with him at the same level, if you know his abilities in advance, you will lose confidence and fighting spirit, be timid before fighting, and lose more thoroughly.
But Azalia believes that Shen Lang, who can calmly drink tea in the face of her "Longwei", will definitely not lose confidence because he knows Carlos' ability.
For young heroes like Shen Lang who are destined to become epic, the stronger the enemy, the more excited they will be.
"This information is very important to me, thank you, Your Royal Highness."
Shen Lang stood up, bowed to Aishaliya, and accepted her favor.
Her Royal Highness smiled:
"You don't have to thank me, I hate Carlos very much, I hate him very much. If he dies in the East, then I will be the happiest person."
Of course she also wanted to kill Carlos.
But not to mention whether she has the ability to kill Carlos, even if she has that ability, if it triggers a war between the Kingdom of Ryan and the Kingdom of Storms, the consequences will be quite serious.
But Carlos died in the east and was killed by a strong man in the east, so there was no trouble at all.
No matter how powerful the Ryan Kingdom is, no matter how powerful the King of War is, can it still reach out to the East?
After figuring out the purpose of the Storm Kingdom to inquire about him, and obtaining information about Carlos, Shen Lang's trip to the Storm Hall can be said to be a complete success.
Say goodbye to Azalia immediately.
Aisha Liya smiled and asked:
"Why should Shen Butou leave in a hurry? I hit it off with Shen Butou immediately, and I want to talk to you more about the customs and customs of the West and the East. There are still excellent chefs in the guild hall. Shen Butou might as well stay and join me. For lunch, let's taste the special food of the Storm Kingdom?"
After chatting for so long, Azalia's diction has gradually become more and more Eastern, which shows that she has a constant "language proficiency" ability and a strong ability to learn and adjust.
To be honest, facing such a beautiful, elegant, and sassy girl princess, Shen Lang was really moved for a while.
But thinking that Gu Hongye and Bai Shishi are still waiting for him, if he doesn't go out for a long time, they will misunderstand that the Storm Kingdom is really going to be bad for him, and run back to the God Catching Hall to shake people, then it will be a lot of fun.
Now declined:
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness, but I still have a companion waiting for me outside, and I still have some things to do. Let's wait another day."
He really has something to do, and he still has to make alchemy. He has to strike while the iron is hot, and improve the quality of the fourth-grade "Quenching True Pill".
In addition, I have to go back and plan carefully. If I am really challenged by that almost unbeatable Prince Carlos, what methods should I prepare.
Her Royal Highness smiled and said:
"Another day? Tomorrow?"
I'm not free tomorrow either!
After all, Shen Langxin was a Western princess, even if she knew the language well, she still couldn't understand the deep meaning of the Eastern language.
After thinking about it, he invited Azalia in turn:
"Since your highness has inquired about me, you should know where I live, right? How about this, your highness will come to my house tomorrow night, and I will cook for you personally, and treat you to taste the delicacies of the east."
Azalia said in surprise:
"Cooking by yourself? A character like you actually cooks by yourself?"
Shen Lang chuckled:
"Cooking is one of my few hobbies. Since I want to entertain Her Royal Highness, I have to do it myself to show my sincerity."
Aishaliya thought for a while, then nodded slightly:
"Okay, I'll go to your house tomorrow evening."
After making an agreement, Shen Lang took his leave and left. Aishaliya sent him out of the living room and watched him leave. There were both regrets and expectations in the emerald green eyes.
It is a pity that Shen Lang was not able to be persuaded. What I look forward to is that the personal relationship with Shen Lang has a good start.
If he continues to get along like this, if he loses a foothold in the Eastern Land in the future, maybe it is really possible to go to the Storm Kingdom to serve her.
