Chapter 1436 Let’s get straight to the point
As soon as Loris finished speaking, Xina frowned and asked the administrator, "Mr. Administrator, you didn't say there was a third competitor for the easy-to-change equipment."
"The most important thing is that they are just humans who just came out of the outer domain. What qualifications do they have to compete with us for the sixth-level equipment?"
The masked man snorted coldly and agreed, "Before this, we did receive reports that suspected sixth-level equipment appeared among the strong men under the command of the human emperor, but that was just bluffing. In fact, there is no sixth-level equipment at all, right?"
"Haha, our alliance has already stood at the top of the third-rate forces, and we don't even have sixth-level equipment, such a national treasure, available. How could it appear in the hands of the human race?"
Old Susan narrowed her eyes slightly, and looked at Lei Xiao with a hint of disdain, saying sarcastically: "I'm afraid you want to use this opportunity to swell your face and pretend to be rich, and then find a chance to get to know us and make us withdraw our troops, right?"
After Old Susan finished speaking, both the strong men from the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the strong men from the Desert Alliance reached a rare consensus and cast disdainful glances at them.
Although they are enemies, they have all been in this area for a long time and did not take us, who had just entered the outside world, seriously.
"Mr. Administrator, even if you are looking for a competitor, you don't need to look for someone of this level, right? I'm afraid it's not because this person is just an important connection of yours that you made an exception and let him in?"
Loris glanced at Lei Xiao again, shook his lion head helplessly and said: "It doesn't matter, it's just another insignificant audience, please invite the owner of the equipment."
"Mr. Manager, I am only interested in the equipment owner."
Xi Na chose to ignore Lei Xiao directly, nodded to the manager and said: "Hurry up and call the distinguished owner of the equipment out."
While the two leaders were talking, our manager had already come to Lei Xiao's side and reported: "Your Majesty, all the people have been brought here."
After hearing the manager's words, all the strong men from the two alliances present were puzzled and began to look at each other.
According to the normal process, shouldn't the manager go to ask the equipment owner? Why waste time going to the human emperor? Aren't they afraid of offending the equipment owner?
You know, someone who can take out two sets of sixth-level equipment at the same time is definitely not an ordinary person. Let alone a second-rate force, he might be a well-known strong man from a first-rate force, or even a royal family.
Amid the bewildered gazes of the crowd, the administrator's formal introduction sounded: "Everyone from the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance, please allow me to solemnly introduce that the human emperor who appears before you is the owner of the two sets of sixth-level equipment just now!"
As soon as the manager said this, the whole place fell silent.
The originally puzzled looks quickly turned into surprise, and they began to stare at each other again.
Especially the two leaders, Loris and Sina, their originally arrogant expressions became extremely complicated, and they didn't know what to say for a while.
The manager is the highest authority in the Shadow Market and represents the authority of the entire market brotherhood. Naturally, he will not lie. This undoubtedly means that Lei Xiao is indeed the owner of the equipment that they are eager to see.
But when they thought of their previous disdain, their faces began to become more stiff and awkward. If it were under normal circumstances, they would not care at all even if there was a misunderstanding.
And now, they had just played with the coveted sixth-level equipment. The thick touch that they couldn't let go of was still lingering in their palms. How could they miss it?
"Your Excellency, the two leaders, we finally meet."
Lei Xiao, who was sitting firmly at the negotiation table, spoke first and said with a faint smile: "It seems that I am not just pretending to be rich, nor am I bluffing."
As Lei Xiao said this, he looked at the masked man who had danced the most happily and Old Susan in turn, causing the two of them to shrink their necks involuntarily and not dare to look into Lei Xiao's eyes.
You know, Lei Xiao is the real owner of the equipment. If they offend Lei Xiao because of their reckless words just now, and thus make their leader lose the precious opportunity to obtain the sixth-level equipment, they will definitely be severely punished.
"Your Majesty, it's all because of the ignorance of my subordinates. Please don't blame me."
Loris reacted the fastest. He first glared at old Susan who was jumping up and down, then grinned at Lei Xiao and said, "It's just a small misunderstanding."
Although he had a sincere smile on his face, while he was speaking, Loris's sharp lion eyes kept looking Lei Xiao up and down.
Just now, on the high ground outside the Shadow Market, when Thomas mentioned that Lei Xiao might be the owner of the equipment, he didn't take it seriously at all.
But now, although he will temporarily put on a smile for the sake of equipment, he has to re-examine Lei Xiao's strength, and secretly guess Lei Xiao's purpose of taking out the equipment to attract him, and then think of ways to deal with it.
In a word, he had only one goal, which was to find ways to get the coveted sixth-rank magic weapon first. As long as he could get the thing, it would not be a big deal to lower his posture temporarily, and it would be understandable to fall out with him later.
"Haha, Your Majesty, I was indeed negligent and failed to discipline my subordinates."
Xi Na directly hit the masked man's head with her staff to express her punishment, and then she straightened her chest, threw a coquettish look at Lei Xiao and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me and don't take this matter to heart."
Although there was ambiguity and seduction in Xina's words, her heart was actually filled with coldness and indifference.
Before this, by observing the composition of the guests in the Film Market, she had thought that Lei Xiao might be behind all this, but it was just a fleeting thought and she didn't take it to heart at all.
After all, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible for the weak human race led by Lei Xiao, who have just entered the outside world, to do this.
Especially when she saw the figure of the light half-elf in the market, she thought that the light half-elf was the real owner of the equipment. With the background of the light half-elf backed by the light elf, it is indeed very likely that they can do this.
But what she didn't know was that the light half-elf in the market was actually Xiao Jie, because the stone elves can not only transform into humans, but also have the ability to transform into all races.
But the prerequisite is that she has had close contact with the strong people of the corresponding ethnic group. It is not surprising that Xiaojie, who has had contact with Ruth and others, can transform into a light half-elf.
The light in Xina's beautiful eyes continued to flow and wander around Lei Xiao's body.
It is not difficult to see from this incident that the young human emperor in front of her is obviously not as weak as she imagined. He even set up such a trap to attract her and Loris.
After all, if she were to use normal negotiation methods, she would not and would not bother to meet with Lei Xiao.
Then the key question arises, why did Lei Xiao summon her and Loris to come at the same time? If it is to withdraw troops or to gain an advantage, then a secret meeting is the best option.
"I certainly won't take such a small matter to heart."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, with a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Lei Xiao also had some expectations about what the two were thinking.
Although everyone seemed to be smiling, it would not be an exaggeration to say that they all had their own thoughts.
His goal was simple, which was to make a show of force and scare the enemy, find out the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible, and then find Dana, Davis and others. After that, he would naturally retaliate.
As for how to proceed specifically, I have already thought of a way, which is to be straightforward and make the two people who are most familiar with each other suspicious of each other. Then I can observe and I will always find some flaws.
When he thought that one of the two people in front of him was the culprit who attempted to drag Dana, Davis, and even all of our people into the abyss, Lei Xiao's smile became more meaningful and dangerous.
At this moment, the manager also guided Loris and Sina to take their seats, both of them sitting not far from Lei Xiao.
"Two leaders, I'm sure you've guessed that I'm not here just to exchange equipment."
Lei Xiao looked at the two in turn, his smile faded, and he said calmly: "Someone is trying to bring the smoke of war and death to me, I will naturally not sit still and wait for death."
"Isn't your Majesty a little too sensitive?"
The smile on Loris's lion face gradually faded, and he tried to speak in a calm tone: "The deployment of troops by our Rainforest Fortress Alliance on the border is just a normal deployment. The main places to increase troops are not only the areas adjacent to your land. The answer is very obvious. We are not only targeting the human Majesty."
"The same is true for our Desert Alliance. We are just taking precautions. Our Desert Alliance will never take the initiative to attack."
Xina's words were obviously more ambiguous, but she still smiled at Lei Xiao and said, "In addition, if His Majesty the Human Race is willing, the Desert Alliance is also willing to contact His Majesty. Perhaps we will reach a consensus soon."
"Tsk, you sound better than singing. That's what you said when we were on the verge of a war with the half-giants. As a result, when the war became intense, you shamelessly attacked many of our important places and stole many mineral veins and water sources. Don't think that this matter is over."
Old Susan couldn't help it. She glared at Xi Na fiercely at first, then forced a smile that was uglier than crying towards Lei Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, you must open your eyes. They are just retreating to advance. Behind that smile is all hostility and murderous intent."
"How dare you talk about us? Didn't you also take advantage of the time when we were fighting our opponents to seize several extremely important oases in one go?"
The masked man was not willing to be outdone. He refuted first, then looked at Lei Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, the human race has always been ruthless in doing things. I hope Your Majesty will not trust those tigers and wolves."
Listening to the conversations of both parties, Lei Xiao's face showed no ripples, and he continued with his previous topic: "If you were just stationing troops at the border, I would not take it to heart, but the problem is that someone has done something that I cannot tolerate and hurt an important strong man of our side. I will definitely investigate this matter to the end."
"So at today's high-end market, I'm afraid only one of you two will be able to successfully exchange and get my special gift."
As Lei Xiao said this, he gently turned his palm upward, and a sixth-level magic potion emitting a strong and exotic fragrance emerged.
This is a sixth-level charging potion that increases one's own energy. Although it is not as rare as healing and strength-enhancing potions, it is also a treasure that is difficult for third-rate forces to obtain.
The reason why Lei Xiao took out this magic potion was to stimulate discussion and allow the two to expose each other's secrets.
Seeing the magic potion appear, everyone present opened their eyes wide with desire, but also looked confused.
Judging from the puzzled expressions on their faces, it seemed that no one knew what the unbearable thing that Lei Xiao was talking about was.
Lei Xiao's eyes moved back and forth, constantly looking at everyone's faces. These guys were obviously very difficult to deal with. No one knew whether behind those pairs of puzzled eyes there was a cunning light of a mastermind.
"Your Majesty, what exactly are you talking about?"
Loris couldn't help but ask first.
Hearing this, although Xina didn't say anything, a hint of doubt appeared on her fair face as she waited for Lei Xiao's answer.
"Then I'll be frank."
According to the predetermined plan, Lei Xiao directly described what happened near the Linbian Fortress.
"Your Majesty, that was definitely not done by us!"
After hearing about what happened on the border of the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the presence of centaur footprints, Thomas frowned and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Someone must be behind this!"
After saying that, Thomas looked towards the people of the Desert Alliance headed by Sheena, and the subtext was self-evident.
"That's right, Your Majesty, such an obvious flaw must be someone trying to stir up a dispute among us."
Loris's lion face also had the same expression, and he said expressionlessly: "As for who will benefit from this, it is obvious. They really have sinister intentions."
"You mean I did it?"
Xi Na's face darkened, and she said coldly: "My territory is 18,000 miles away from the Linbian Fortress, and I have to pass through dozens of large and small Rainforest Fortress Alliance fortresses and cities. How can I accomplish all this quietly? Moreover, if I really want to do this, there are other ways. Why go to so much trouble?"
"Your Majesty, it seems that the Desert Alliance has long wanted to stir up disputes between us and then profit from it!"
Old Susan stood on the chair and snorted coldly, "How else could you think of other ways?"
"Besides, there is one thing I have wanted to say for a long time."
Old Susan's voice became deeper and deeper, and she said with certainty: "The deputy leader of the Desert Alliance is not here. He must be the mastermind behind all this. He missed the Shadow Market because he did not have time to rush back to the Desert Alliance after the attack on the Dragonborn Queen!"
"Old man, you are talking nonsense!"
Xina's eyebrows were raised, and a trace of anger surged on her fair face. (End of this chapter)
