Chapter 1052: Karina's true face
Latest website: As the heavy and thick ancient metal door opened, a woman dressed in red aristocratic clothing and a team of black-clothed guards standing neatly appeared slowly in front of everyone.
The woman in red at the head was seen with a fair and delicate face, wearing a pair of red glasses, and the corners of her rosy mouth vaguely emerged from the fangs. She faintly exuded a majestic aura, and she had obviously reached the fifth level.
The guards standing neatly behind them all had pale faces with thick dark circles under their eyes. The fangs at the corners of their mouths were even more visible. Their lowest strength was at the third level.
"Are they really a group of vampires?"
Lei Xiao looked at the obvious racial characteristics of the other party, and finally focused on the woman in red who was the leader.
The higher the strength of the vampire, the more perfectly they can hide their vampire characteristics. Based on this alone, it can be judged that the identity of the woman in red must be good, and she looks like the secretary next to a president.
"Distinguished guests from the Kingdom of Lions, welcome to the Iron Hand Islands."
An elegant and intellectual voice sounded, and the leading woman in red clothes and glasses raised her chest and saluted, and said politely: "The little lady is Carina, the chief female officer of Her Majesty the Scarlet Queen. Her Majesty the Queen has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Your Excellency Karina, you're welcome, but I came uninvited and disturbed your country."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly and responded: "So, Her Majesty the Queen of your country already knows our intentions?"
"Her Majesty the Queen is very touched that after understanding the current predicament of the Iron Hand Islands, Her Majesty the Queen is still working tirelessly to lend a helping hand, so she specially sends a little girl to greet you."
The chief female officer who called herself Karina smiled, then nodded to Lei Xiao and said, "His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince and other adults, please follow the little girl. Her Majesty the Queen is eagerly looking forward to meeting you."
"Then we would rather obey orders than be respectful."
After hearing the other party accurately calling out his identity, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
When the entire country is in crisis, the other party is still able to accurately figure out our identity and intentions. From this, it is not difficult to see that the vampire queen is by no means an ordinary person.
"Since the Blood Queen has accurately deduced everything, she must have also guessed that my ultimate goal is to win over the Iron Hand Islands and fight against the other five human nations."
"I have to say that although dealing with such a smart leader of a country may seem much easier, it is also full of murderous intentions at every step."
Lei Xiao was thinking this in his heart, and under the guidance of Karina, he headed towards the palace where the vampires were.
Lei Xiao clearly understands that this is the core of the opponent's power. Since the opponent has opened the door to let him and six fifth-level powerhouses in, they must have corresponding means of response and are not afraid of our sudden attack.
But we know very little about this mysterious country that has been isolated from the world for hundreds of years. In other words, from the moment we step into the palace, we are actually in a passive situation of unequal information.
The most important thing is that after knowing that our ultimate intention is to win over the other party.
Even if we spare no effort to help the Vampire Queen survive this crisis of national destruction, the other party may not accept our solicitation.
By then, the bamboo basket will be empty, and even if the opponent has regained its full strength, it is not impossible to kill us even if it crosses the river and burns the bridge.
"In short, at least until we help the other party solve the problem, we will not be in any danger. This period of time is the key to the game between me and the blood queen."
Just when Lei Xiao frowned and thought of this.
I saw that the female officer Karina who was leading the way did not look back, but she pushed up the red glasses on the bridge of her nose and asked: "Your Highness the Holy Lion Prince, please forgive me for speaking frankly, but you seem to have something on your mind?"
"Your Excellency Karina must have learned that the Cold Flame Kingdom is currently surrounded by powerful enemies and is on the verge of destruction. How can I not be worried?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and immediately changed the subject.
"The most important thing is that during the internal disputes in our Leng Yan Kingdom some time ago, I led my men to kill several powerful vampires from your country. I am afraid that Her Majesty the Queen of your country is to blame."
At this point, Lei Xiao added another sentence: "Although it is just a power dispute within our Lengyan Kingdom, I never expected that there would be a powerful vampire appearing. It was really a mistake."
After emphasizing the internal disputes twice in a row, Lei Xiao's implication was self-evident.
You must know that the Black Duke from the Iron Hand Islands forcibly interfered in the struggle for the kingship of the Cold Flame Kingdom. This was an extremely taboo thing among the power centers of various countries.
From this, there is nothing wrong with killing hundreds of them, not to mention just a few powerful vampires.
The reason why Lei Xiao took the initiative to bring this matter up was for one purpose, that is, to a certain extent, he had the right to speak next.
If the other party cannot give a satisfactory answer, it will be unknown whether we will help.
After all, if the other party already knows that our ultimate goal is to win over the other party, then the other party will undoubtedly take the initiative and put us in a passive position.
At the same time, Lei Xiao can also judge based on the other party's reaction whether the Black Duke's actions were instructed by the queen or whether he acted on his own initiative, so as to adjust his next course of action.
Taking a step back, even if the Black Duke was really ordered by the Queen, the other party would not raise an issue on this matter if he knew that he was in the wrong.
In this way, Lei Xiao not only understood the importance of the Black Duke in the opponent, but also laid the foundation for the next action.
"Haha, His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince really means what he says."
Hearing the sound, Karina still held her red glasses and responded calmly: "Her Majesty the Queen has specifically told the little girl about this matter. If His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince takes the initiative to bring it up, the little girl will explain it on Her Majesty's behalf to avoid causing any problems. A misunderstanding with your country.
"To be honest with His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, the Black Duke is indeed from the Iron Hand Islands, but his forcible intervention in the matter of Lengyan Kingship was not authorized by Her Majesty the Queen."
"Her Majesty the Great Scarlet Queen only wants to manage the Iron Hand Islands and has no intention of interfering with other countries."
"As for why the Black Duke wants to get involved in the Kingdom of Cold Flame, it is probably because he has different political opinions with Her Majesty the Queen, so he turned to find other ways out on his own."
Karina stood still on the spot, her starry eyes behind the lenses were full of seriousness, and she said solemnly to Lei Xiao: "But no matter what, after all, the Black Duke once served as a high-level official in our Iron Hand Islands, and I have asked this little girl to replace Her Majesty the Queen. I offer my sincerest apologies, as Her Majesty was responsible for the oversight."
After finishing her words, Karina bowed to Lei Xiao once again, and her etiquette seemed extremely appropriate.
"This matter has passed, and we have no intention of pursuing it further."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly and waved his hand casually.
However, Lei Xiao's words had just finished.
Karina, however, added tepidly: "But one thing still needs to be reminded, His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, that big figures like the Black Duke still exist in the Vampire Clan. They are all companions of the Black Duke, and they are all Some people who are determined to retaliate against others."
"Once the situation changes suddenly, even the great Her Majesty the Queen cannot completely stop the actions of these vampire seniors. However, Her Majesty the Queen will do her best to ensure everyone's safety."
At this point, Karina smiled and said: "So, please understand His Majesty the Queen's difficulties."
"It's good to retreat in order to advance. On the surface, it looks like an apology, but in fact it is telling me that the other party may still make trouble on this matter."
Lei Xiao thought of this in his heart, and then he still smiled lightly and said: "It doesn't matter, we are here with sincerity this time, and the purpose is to see if there is anything we can do to help."
"Of course, if there is any obstruction from some of the Black Duke's associates, we are willing to cooperate with Her Majesty the Queen to clean up the house in order to maintain Her Majesty the Queen's supreme authority."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he took steps again.
In any case, I have roughly figured out the importance of the Black Duke in the blood queen's heart.
If what the other party said is true, even if the blood clan will definitely retaliate, the queen of the blood clan will hardly be angry with us just because of this. After all, we have indirectly cleared the door for the other party.
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Now only one last critical question remains.
That was the reason why Bella and the other children did not faint and continued to act as usual, as well as the specific content of the "Blood Feast Ceremony".
Only after mastering the answers to all the questions can you confirm whether you can help the other party solve the problem and wait for the opportunity to find the key to winning over the other party.
Under the guidance of Karina, the group of people moved forward in the dark and humid palace garden. In the process, Lei Xiao further noticed.
This gloomy palace is undoubtedly completely different from the cold flame palace where a hundred flowers bloom.
Even in the royal garden, there are only some weird thorns and vines planted, as well as several unknown magic red roses. Some of the petals are even bigger than the washbasin, swaying in the wind, making them appear everywhere. Extremely weird.
"I have to say that vampires have really unique tastes."
Lei Xiao looked at a row of black bats hanging upside down on a dead tree not far away, and thought to himself: "This eerie and strange scenery alone is enough to scare the unscrupulous people."
"His Royal Highness seems to like the gardening style here very much."
Karina turned her head slightly, revealing half of her fair face.
She gently held her red glasses and said with a smile: "These are Her Majesty the Queen's proud works."
"The taste of the queen of your country is truly outstanding."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and his eyes focused on Karina's delicate face that exuded a mature charm.
Along the way, the other party asked him a lot of questions intentionally or unintentionally, such as his understanding of the "Blood Feast Ceremony", the specific methods to deal with the armies of the five countries, and even what happened when he killed the Black Duke.
Although these questions were all answered in official terms, no details were revealed.
But what is certain is that the other party is obviously repeatedly testing his intention and determination to help the Iron Hand Islands.
For a female official who was leading the way, the words seemed a bit too dense.
Sure enough, Lei Xiao just thought of this in his mind.
Karina's voice took the initiative again: "His Royal Highness the Holy Lion Prince, I have a question that I am very curious about. Currently, the Cold Flame Kingdom is surrounded by powerful enemies. Why did you come to the Iron Hand Islands all the way?"
"Don't you already know the answer to this matter very well?"
Lei Xiao's expression was calm and he said calmly: "Let's stop the testing, Your Excellency Karina. No, maybe I should call you Her Majesty the Scarlet Queen."
As soon as Lei Xiao said this, not only Karina, who was leading the way, was stunned, but also the subordinates behind her looked at each other for a moment.
It turns out that this talkative female official is the Scarlet Queen who rules the Iron Hand Islands?
"Have you really been noticed? The Holy Lion Prince from another world, I really underestimated you before."
Karina, who was walking in front, stopped and turned back to Lei Xiao.
She first slowly took off her red glasses, then gently shook her sleeves, and a blood-red light immediately covered them completely.
When the **** light dissipated, a brand new "Karina" wearing a red luxurious dress and a queen's crown appeared in front of everyone.
Although the delicate and elegant face has not changed, the arrogance and the condescending majesty of the king on the other party are already very obvious.
As "Karina" revealed her true form, dozens of black figures exuding impressive aura flew out from various parts of the courtyard and stood neatly behind her.
According to Lei Xiao's perception, there are five fifth-level vampires among them, and the others are all at the peak level of fourth-level.
"Including the Scarlet Queen herself, are there a total of six fifth-level powerhouses? This is already equivalent to my top-level combat power on the surface. I didn't expect that the strength of the Iron Hand Islands is so good. No wonder they let me enter the palace easily. 's door."
A hint of surprise appeared in Lei Xiao's dark eyes, but he soon returned to normal.
Behind Lei Xiao, Jiang Li, Hu Zhang and others all had wary faces and subconsciously gathered around Lei Xiao.
"No need to be nervous, don't forget that we are here with sincerity."
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, UU reading www.uukanshu. com immediately greeted the Scarlet Queen and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I have just discovered Her Majesty's true identity. If I have offended you in any way, I hope Her Majesty will forgive you."
However, even though he said this, Lei Xiao understood clearly in his heart.
The reason why the other party hides his identity and comes into close contact with us has only one purpose.
That is to try to collect as much information about us as possible to judge our sincerity and intention to come.
"Prince Holy Lion is so polite, but it's because of my whim that I didn't receive you with my true face and neglected the distinguished guests who came from afar."
A slightly lazy and elegant voice sounded, and the Scarlet Queen smiled and said: "Prince Holy Lion, can you tell me how you discovered my true identity?"
"The thing is actually very simple. There are three reasons."
Lei Xiao smiled lightly and began to explain. (End of chapter)
