I saw that the attributes of Gail are as follows:
Name: Gail

[Skill 1: Spiral three-stage kick "Active" (small-range physical single target attack)]
[Skill 2: Tiger Crackling Fist "Active" (powerful physical single-target attack, with a small probability of additional stun effect)]
[Skill 3: Wind Lost Step "Active" (moving speed and dodge ability greatly increased)]
[Skill 4: Melee Mastery "Passive" (When attacking in melee, moderately increases damage)]
"Not bad, this way, I have added another fourth-order powerhouse under my command!"
Closing Gail's attribute bar, Lei Xiao nodded happily: "Also, it is undoubtedly a crucial step to support Lin as the head of the Shanglu family in the near future!"
Excited, Lei Xiao first drank the tea in his cup, then motioned Gail to take a seat beside him, and at the same time asked questions about Fanyin City Lord Orr.
Needless to say, the last Tier 4 recruitment order on him was naturally reserved for him.
"Return to the lord, this is the situation that the subordinates have."
Hearing the sound, Gail bowed slightly, describing his understanding completely.
First of all, the family of Auer, the lord of Fanyin City, is Leng Yan's marquis family, and Fanyin City is the fiefdom of his family.
Its family history can be traced back to the era of King Heroes.
The first generation Patriarch was under the command of the King of Heroes, a captain of the Guards Magic Troupe. He followed the King of Heroes to fight in all directions. He made great contributions to Leng Yan.
Secondly, when Orr was young, he used to be a court magician in the Lengyan Royal Family. It wasn't until ten years ago, when he succeeded the Patriarch, that he returned to his hometown to take charge of Fanyin City.
In the end, in the past ten years, under Auer's diligent governance, Fanyin City gradually began to become more and more prosperous, so that it finally became an indispensable commercial center in the eastern region of Lengyan.
"Understood."
Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao said thoughtfully.
What Gail said was similar to what Kelly had described.
Although it can make him understand Orr's character better, but for subduing Orr, he still lacks the most critical link.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao didn't hesitate, and immediately asked: "President Gail, the internal struggle in the capital has not yet been finalized. Do you know anything about the faction that Orr belongs to?"
Hearing the sound, Gail immediately understood what Lei Xiao meant.
Different from the small and remote towns, Fanyin City, as a commodity distribution center, is undoubtedly an extremely important commercial hub for the eastern region of Lengyan.
It is no exaggeration to say that controlling Fanyin City is almost equivalent to controlling at least half of the commercial lifeline in the eastern region of Lengyan.
Of course, it also includes essential living materials such as food and various daily necessities.
Of course, this point is very clear to the three princes in the capital.
Therefore, the three forces will definitely send people to win them over, and make advance preparations for the possible large-scale confrontation in the future.
All in all, if Orr remains neutral, everything is fine.
But if he is already standing behind a certain prince, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult if he wants to win him over.
Realizing this, Gail couldn't help shaking his head helplessly, and responded: "To be honest, my lord, although my subordinates have a good personal relationship with Lord Orr, and even know about his hobbies and interests, but the other party has never mentioned it. been to these matters.
After a pause, Gail, who was tall and strong, seemed to remember something, and said again: "By the way, Lord Lord, you once told the little girl to pay close attention to Orr's movements, especially if there are any other prince's minions. Come get in touch.
As far as the subordinates know, there is nothing abnormal in this aspect, but it cannot be ruled out that Orr's hiding is so perfect that it is still unknown. "
"It seems that Orr is indeed a man with a deep city background."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
At this stage, it is impossible to confirm whether Orr is neutral.
Relying on the fact that he and Auer have a common enemy, the mysterious organization, and his previous strength in the underground temple of the Titans.
Obviously, it is impossible to guarantee 100% that they can successfully subdue the other party.
And once the contract signing fails, not only will he lose a precious Tier 4 Recruitment Order.
Moreover, for a long period of time in the future, it will not be possible to sign a master-servant contract face-to-face.
So, of course, you can't take this risk casually.
"This is a bit difficult."
Slightly pursing his lips, Lei Xiao shifted his gaze and landed on the little princess Leng Yan again, and asked, "Ariel, how much do you know about Orr?"
"Going back to Lord Lord, I don't have any impression."
Turning her starry eyes and thinking for a while, Ariel shook her head and sighed softly: "When this person was a court magician in the royal family, his subordinates were only in their early ten years old. I really can't remember."
Undoubtedly, although Ariel knows Leng Yan's geography and humanities well, she has limited understanding of the current rulers in various places.
After all, before this, Ariel never thought that one day she would be assassinated by the assassins hired by her brothers and be forced to leave the capital.
I never thought that I would embark on the road of carrying the banner of cold flames.
At this moment, Ariel's expression became firm again.
Now that I have made up my mind to embark on this thorny road with the help of the lord, then I must go on unswervingly!
Looking at the determination revealed on Ariel's fair face, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and said, "Forget it, let's discuss the matter of subduing Orr in a long-term way. regiment's employment agreement."
"Obey! Your lord!"
Hearing the sound, all the subordinates stood up and saluted together, saying in unison.
In this way, Lei Xiao and his group, who had rested for a while in the VIP room, walked towards the banquet hall under the guidance of Gail and Kelly.
In the process, Lei Xiao learned more.
This private banquet, only my own party and the powerful members of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps participated.
In addition, even the other family members of Gail and Kelly did not invite them. After all, this place has just been completely under the rule of their collateral line, and it cannot be ruled out that there are still remaining eyes and ears of the direct line.
And Orr, the owner of Fanyin City, is still working with the old magician Calvin on the archaeological work of the underground temple of the Titans.
Although there are no more noteworthy treasures in it, the alien temple itself is undoubtedly an extremely precious treasure for history.
As for Blue Rose and Broken Blade, the strong men of these two independent mercenary regiments finished packing up the remaining nearly 40 damaged giant battle axes, and entrusted Gail to the Fanyin City Shanglu Fair, After the sale, they returned to their respective stations happily.
"My lord, according to my uncle's estimate, the price of each giant ax of the Titan family is at least 100,000 gold dragons. It really makes the two independent mercenary groups take advantage of it!"
At this time, Kelly, who was walking in the front, turned her head and pouted softly, "We got a total of 50 battle axes, except for the 10 or so that the lord took away.
According to each party getting one-third, each of the two independent mercenary groups can get at least 1.5 million golden dragons! No wonder he didn't close his mouth when he left, and he kept thanking the lord. "
"Nizi, be careful that walls have ears. Your lord's intentions are not to drink, but to have other meanings."
Shaking his head slightly at Kelly, Gail frowned.
"Drunkards don't want to drink?"
Blinking her starry eyes and thinking for a moment, Kelly suddenly realized: "Could it be that the lord is going to subdue..."
Before she finished speaking, under Gail's stern gaze, Kelly quickly covered her mouth, then smiled at Lei Xiao, but stopped talking.
Looking at Kelly's cautious look like a frightened rabbit, Lei Xiao couldn't help shaking his head helplessly.
In a short time, they walked through the classical corridor covered by high-end red carpets and covered with magical paintings on the walls.
Lei Xiao and his party of thirteen people had already walked into a spacious and bright hall.
Under the light of the crystal-clear crystal tassel chandelier, Lei Xiao noticed.
It has an area of about 200 square meters. The white walls are neatly engraved with a large number of gorgeous textures such as golden hollow scroll patterns, scopolamine leaf decorations, and scallop flower decorations. It looks elegant and reveals three points of luxury.
In the hall, young maids and attendants carrying dinner plates walked back and forth. Seven or eight long dining tables covered with exquisite milky white tablecloths were already filled with all kinds of meat, fruits and pastries.
It looks like a piece of art on a plate.
At the same time, the refreshing aroma of warm food spread into the nostrils of the group.
Seeing Lei Xiao and others coming, all the maids and attendants immediately bowed and saluted, their faces full of respect.
Seeing this scene, Lei Xiao, who was expressionless, nodded slightly.
If such a scene were placed in the previous life, it would undoubtedly be a scene that he would almost never see in his entire life, and it would be enough to make him unforgettable for the rest of his life.
But now, it is nothing more than an ordinary day-to-day life.
"My lord, this is the venue for this private banquet. If your lord is not satisfied, the subordinates will instruct you to go to other venues to check."
Just when Lei Xiao was secretly sighing, Gail's respectful voice came from the side: "Also, my subordinates have hired the best string orchestra, dancers and bards in Fanyin City, and they will come to you at any time. You can come in and perform for fun."
"Very good, here it is, I am very satisfied."
Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao's eyes wandered, and he nodded slightly, agreeing.
"Understood, my lord, there are a total of twelve dragon tooth mercenary powerhouses invited this time..."
Immediately afterwards, Gail's respectful voice came to Lei Xiao's ears again.
Next, after Gail's introduction, Lei Xiao learned about it.
At the auction at that time, the fourth-rank eight-star water magician who pretended to be an old auctioneer was none other than Master Walter, the deputy head of the dragon tooth mercenary group.
The other two great magician elders are both Tier 4 and 6-star. A well-known heavyweight.
As for the other nine mercenaries, they are all at the peak level of Tier 3, and they are all senior mercenaries who can be called names in the mercenary world.
"My lord, it is worth mentioning that the leader of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Group has been missing for many years. As for the specific situation, these great magicians of the Taishan Beidou level in the mercenary world are all secretive, and there must be one of them. Some reasons."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Gail whispered again.
"I see."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
"My lord, the time is almost up. The strong men of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Group should have arrived, and the subordinates will go and take them over."
Seeing that the food was basically ready, Gail reported again.
"Go."
Nodding to the middle-aged strong man in front of him who was well-proportioned and thoughtful, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Thanks for your hard work."
When Gail bowed to leave, Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the surrounding subordinates again.
The trio of foodies consisted of a wolf and a dragon. Needless to say, they had already prepared a plate and a knife and fork in one hand, and were waiting for the banquet to officially begin.
Ariel stood beside her quietly surrounded by the two generals of the kingdom.
The purpose of Lei Xiao this time is to hire the strong men of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps to occupy the mountain fortress in the name of the fifth princess Ariel.
Therefore, his identity is still the guest of the fifth princess, and there is no need to conceal Ariel's princess identity.
As for the other subordinates such as the knotweed stick, they were all scattered around Lei Xiao, always in case of sudden incidents.
It didn't take long before a burst of hearty laughter came into Lei Xiao's ears from outside the banquet hall: "Hehe, President Gail, no matter what, it's a good idea to invite us old men to dinner." Our pleasure."
"Master Walter is too polite. It's a great honor for you to come to the Shanglu Fair in Fanyin City."
Immediately afterwards, Gail's humble voice came over: "Of course, as I said just now, the person who invited all distinguished guests this time is a mysterious big man."
"Mysterious big shot? That really makes me look forward to it!"
There was another burst of laughter, and the first old voice sounded again.
Next ~www.mtlnovel.com~ was accompanied by a series of increasingly clear footsteps.
Under Gail's guidance, three old magicians dressed in blue, red, and yellow magic robes appeared at the gate.
Behind them, there are a group of middle-aged magicians standing in line, they are the other strong members of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps.
"So it's Her Royal Highness?"
Recognizing Ariel next to Lei Xiao at a glance, the old blue-robed magician who was the leader was stunned for a moment, and immediately came up with a group of mercenaries, kneeling on one knee and saying: "See Your Highness the Princess!"
"Everyone, please forgive me. The protagonist here today is not me, but him."
Raising her hand slightly, Ariel turned sideways, letting Lei Xiao out.
"ah?"
Hearing Ariel's inexplicable words, while being puzzled, the gazes of all the strong mercenaries could not help but fall on Lei Xiao.
