Chapter 185 183: Background, Conquer (Please subscribe, please vote)

It seems that people always prefer to do secret things at night!
The person Luo Yi chose to meet at this time was also on this almost dark and moonless night.

However, there are more street lights in the city of Auxerre, and there are even more horse-drawn carriages coming and going. Although they are ordinary horse-drawn carriages, they are really galloping on the road openly.

Luo Yi looked out of the car with great interest, at the shadowy buildings of Auxerre city, as well as the passing carriages and pedestrians, as if he was looking at an exotic scene.

Inside the carriage, the pretty girl Eva sat aside, maintaining a perfect aristocratic posture, but her eyes were a little calm.

And there was Oliveira, who was sitting there with his eyes closed, as if he was practicing, or simply resting his mind.

They walked along the streets surrounding the mountain, and then went up, until they reached a relatively remote place.

This place can be considered as a secluded place, but it is the wealthy area of ​​Auxerre.

The buildings inside are all manors of various sizes, and the density is much sparser than in the city. Many of the manors are bustling with people, and it is obvious that banquets are being held.

However, the manor that Luo Yi and his friends entered seemed very quiet.

After Eva showed up, the gate opened directly and the carriage drove straight in until it stopped at the gate of the manor.

Roy led Oliveira out of the carriage and walked inside. Along the way, not even a servant could be seen, but there were many candles, illuminating the road.

Eva led the way, but did not go through the main door. Instead, she entered from the side, went up to the second floor, turned left and right, and arrived in front of a study.

Beep!
There was a knock on the door, and an old voice said, "Come in!"

With a creak, the door opened automatically. Eva walked in first, followed by Luo Yi.

However, the moment he walked into the study, he felt something different.

It felt like being squeezed into a bubble.

Before Loy could react, Oliveira's figure had already blocked his way, with a solemn expression, one hand on the hilt of the sword, and the other hand had reached behind him, grasping the handle of the gun.

He stared at the three people in front of him, but whispered calmly: "Master, if a fight breaks out, run away immediately, run regardless of the consequences, and don't hesitate at all."

Roy put a hand on Oliveira's shoulder, knowing clearly that he was not joking.

At this time, Oliveira was ready to fight with all his might.

The only person who could make him so cautious was naturally a fourth-order natural disaster expert.

At this moment, there were three people gathered in this small study.

Luo Yi suddenly understood who these people were and why Grand Duchess Aphra wanted him to meet them.

It now became clearer why with the support of these three people, the flower collar was halfway secured.

He patted Oliveira on the shoulder, took a sideways step, and walked in front of the crowd.

He not only saw everyone clearly, but also let everyone see him clearly.

Three people, two men and one woman!
The woman was a magician, wearing a light blue magic robe, a pair of glasses on her nose, and holding a thick magic book in her hands.

Even when Luo Yi entered, she seemed to be immersed in the world of magic and didn't even raise her head.

She looked very young, with no spots on her exposed skin and her hair was shiny black.

But when she sat there, she gave people a feeling of elegance, tranquility and timelessness.

The most important thing is that there are four five-pointed star rings on her robe on her chest, one circle inside another, and inside, there are rippling water waves.

That meant she was a fourth-tier Scourge Mage, skilled in water magic.

Among the other two, one was tall and strong, with arms thicker than an average person's thighs, and emanating strength that was visible to the naked eye.

It was obvious that with that size and that mountain-like aura, he must be a fourth-rank knight.

What’s strange is that his skin is bluish-gray and even has a metallic luster.

Of course, although he gives people a sense of strong power, he is already quite old.

The gray hair and deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes showed that he had lived a long time in this world.

As for the last one, he was dressed in a typical swordsman outfit.

He is tall and slender with ordinary looks, but his manners are elegant and he has an indescribable calm confidence.

In his hand he held a long sword, which was wider than a rapier and longer than a rapier, with a slightly curved blade, hanging at his waist.

His hand was on the hilt of the sword, with his five fingers clearly separated, as if he could draw the sword at any time.

However, his complexion did not look good, and he looked a little pale, and his whole body was stained with the smell of blood and potion, as if his injuries had not yet healed.

His eyes passed over Luo Yi, then fixed on Oliveira, and said with a smile: "Oliveira, how come you don't recognize me after such a short time?"

Oliveira's expression became serious, he pursed his lips, and said, "Student, meet Teacher Otto."

"You don't believe me?"

"In this situation, I have the duty of guarding. No one dares to believe it?"

"Your personality hasn't changed at all!"

Otto laughed dumbly and said unhappily, "I just don't believe it. Didn't you see a few days ago that it was me who blocked Hurricane Higgins from the Carlisle family?"

Oliveira argued: “But you didn’t show up!”

“No one knows what the future of the Raymond family will be like. What should I say when I show up?”

"As for the person behind you, whether he can shoulder the burden of the family and is worthy of our trust is still unclear.

So why should I show up?"

Oliveira pursed his lips. He was not good at speaking and now he didn't know what to say.

Luo Yi patted his shoulder and said, "Everyone, Luo Yi Roy Fitz, the illegitimate son of the Raymond family, greets you here."

"I don't know, can we get to know each other first?"

This time, it was Eva who took over the conversation. She said, "Let me introduce you."

She faced the swordsman, bowed slightly, and said, "This one is a fourth-level Swift Wind Swordsman. He has awakened the fire-type fighting spirit and is known as the 'Flame Sword Saint', Lord Otto."

Luo Yi bowed slightly to this person and saluted, which meant he was meeting him.

This Otto didn't have a bad temper, and he even smiled and nodded. Eva looked at the middle-stage knight and said, "This one is a fourth-level Berserker Knight, who has awakened the earth-type fighting spirit and has cultivated special secret skills. He is the Iron Knight Phil Zeke."

The deep blue seemed to be triggered, and information flashed immediately, and Luo Yi knew it.

This Iron Knight was actually the previous Grand Knight of the Raymond family and the deputy leader of the family's knights.

The captain is Count Raymond, and he, the deputy captain, is the one who truly holds power. Almost all the knights in the family were trained by him or received his instruction.

Naturally, Luo Yi had nothing to say to this person. He bowed and saluted, behaving very appropriately.

But this one was very arrogant, raising his head slightly, as if he was greeting, but also as if he didn't care.

Eva then introduced the last person.

“This is Ms. Palacios, a fourth-level elemental mage who is best at water magic. She is stationed at the westernmost port of the earldom all year round, driving away various sea beasts for the Raymond family.

In addition, Ms. Palacios is also a rare potion master who can make many rare potions."

"The reason why the Raymond family is so attractive to geniuses is because Ms. Palacios's potion can provide what is needed for cultivation."

It was not until this moment that the lady raised her head slightly and exchanged a glance with Luo Yi as a greeting.

After the introduction, Eva looked at Luo Yi and said, "Master Luo Yi, you should know without me saying that these three are the powerful people behind the Raymond family."

After a pause, she continued: "In fact, the Raymond family originally supported five fourth-level strongmen.

This number is unmatched by the four marquis families, and is also the source of pride for the Raymond family."

“However, during that battle, two fourth-level warriors were in the Raymond family castle and never showed up again.”

Having said that, the three powerful natural disaster masters looked unhappy.

At this moment, before Loyi could speak, Iron Knight Phil Zeke said, "Grand Duke Aphra strongly requested that we meet you. She has great confidence in you.
However, we do not trust you and do not believe that you can handle the current complex situation."

"So, we also want to meet you and ask you something."

Luo Yi nodded slightly and said, "Excuse me?"

Flame Sword Saint Otto said, "If you become Count Raymond, how will you deal with the previous 'man-made disaster'?"

This is a very difficult question to answer, because Luo Yi doesn't know the attitudes of the three people.

That "man-made disaster" was a calamity that even fourth-level powerhouses could not escape. No one knew whether they wanted to be involved in it again.
Keluo Yi hesitated for a moment, then immediately said: “I will let it go on the surface, investigate secretly, determine who the enemy is, and then accumulate strength.

When I have the ability, I will take revenge and complain."

"The blood of the Raymond family cannot be shed in vain. Even if I don't have the chance in this lifetime, it must be passed on to the next generation."

Otto nodded slightly and stopped talking. Ms. Palacios said, "I want to know, if you become the count, will you still abide by the contract between Carl and us?

Will the supplies we need and magical materials be reduced?"

Luo Yi grinned: "Money is not a problem! What my father promised you, I will only give you more, not less."

"Then I'll be fine."

Finally, it was the Iron Knight Phil Zeke who spoke. He took a step forward and his fierce momentum seemed to rush towards Loy like a tide.

He asked, “Why do you do that?

Why do you think you can win the noble council? Why do you think you can lead the Raymond family out of trouble? "

"You are just a 20-year-old boy. Have you ever experienced any storms?"

"Why should you make us believe you?"

This is the most important question!
Ke Luoyi was not afraid at all. He walked out to meet the three people. He took a step forward, opened his five fingers, and the Holy Artifact Motto Ring appeared in his hand.

"Because I am the heir chosen by Count Raymond himself. Why do those little people compete with me?"

The Iron Knight was stunned, his eyes full of shock, but he still said: "This is not enough!"

"What about adding this?"

Luo Yi took another step forward, his violent heartbeat was like a drum, the roar echoing throughout the room.

If it weren't for the magic blocking, the whole manor might have heard it.

But precisely because of the obstruction, the sound echoed and became more intense!
All around Luo Yi, circles of air ripples spread outwards, as if a terrifying giant beast had opened its eyes, and the pressure from the superior life form was impossible to look directly at.

At this moment, even the powerful Calamity Warriors were stunned, and Ms. Palacios stood up directly.

She almost gritted her teeth and spat out four words: "Secret Sacred Technique?!"

Luo Yi didn't stop, but took another step forward and came directly in front of the Iron Knight.

His figure was not as majestic as the Iron Knight, so he could only look up at the other party, but there was no awe for the fourth-level strong man in his eyes.

"If that's not enough, how about this?"

The golden-red fighting spirit rose, and the violently beating heart was stimulated by the fighting spirit. A strange substance was secreted and flowed throughout the body along the blood.

As a result, infinite courage and fearlessness grew and even spread outward, infecting everyone.

The Iron Knight only felt his voice dry, but he still made a loud noise: "Is this the Lion King?"

Luo Yi asked: "I have these capitals, do you think it is enough? Or not enough?"

At this moment, Luo Yi was clearly only a second-level natural disaster, but these fourth-level natural disasters only thought that it was a high and mighty king who was asking them questions.

At this moment, the Iron Knight finally took a step back, knelt on one knee, lowered his proud head, and held his sword in his big hands and handed it to Luoyi.

"Iron Knight Phil Zeke is willing to fight for the Lion King with a sword and be loyal forever!"

Luo Yi grasped the knight's sword and looked at the Fire Sword Saint who was kneeling on one knee and the great magician who was bowing slightly.

He said: "In that case, I will lead you to restore the glory of the Lion King!"
