I got an S-level talent in the apocalypse, and I will lead Blue Star to rise

Chapter 266 Intelligence
Ning Yun had a strange feeling, as if this were a real world.

These people, with their varied expressions and natural demeanor, were almost like real people.

This banquet was not actually held specifically to welcome Ning Yun and the others.

It was more like a mobilization meeting to boost morale before a campaign, and the real protagonist was Lord Adrian.

Chen Yuanyuan was actually quite excited when she saw this.

"It's like watching a foreign movie."

Even the most lavish films can't capture this feeling.

"However, judging from their expressions, these people have never experienced liberation."

That look cannot be called arrogance, but rather "conceit".

Looking at Ning Yun and her group was like looking at wild boars covered in mud; their eyes revealed disdain.

Being stared at by this group of people really made me feel like I was sitting on pins and needles.

After Butler Willis led Ning Yun into the hall, he returned to the city lord's side.

Chen Yuanyuan, Ji Jia, and Gao Tian all stayed outside the hall.

Ning Yun was left with only two people: Xiao Qichen and Leon.

Actually, this statement is not accurate, because Leon was very comfortable with the scene and quickly became very friendly with the two girls.

"Leon is really thriving."

Not long after, he took a girl to dance, and while they were dancing, the two of them secretly left the hall.

It's easy to understand why they left.

In the hall, Ning Yun and Xiao Qichen were the only unfamiliar faces, and many people were secretly observing them.

Some people approached her to chat, but Ning Yun politely declined.

Her mission today wasn't to play around, but to gather information.

"Miss, may I have this dance?"

Another young man came up to chat her up, his eyes gazing at her with deep affection.

Ning Yun gave a polite smile and said, "I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well and can't dance."

The other person seemed a little disappointed, but didn't leave immediately. Instead, they playfully said, "Actually, I don't really like dancing either. How about we go out for a walk together?"

Ning Yun glanced at the hall and noticed that, at some point, the band started playing cheerful music, and many people began to dance.

She laughed and said, "Perfect timing, I also want to go out for some fresh air."

Ning Yun observed that the young man in front of her was probably a rich young master, and his status was likely not low.

When he arrived, many young girls stared at him with eager eyes.

When he stopped in front of Ning Yun, his gaze turned to jealousy.

Such people hold high positions and often have access to a great deal of information.

Because of his youthful arrogance and love of showing off in front of girls, he is a good target for extracting information.

Ning Yun and the man left the hall side by side. If the gazes behind her could turn into knives, they would probably tear Ning Yun to pieces.

Xiao Qichen followed closely behind, though he remained expressionless and did not stare at the man.

But the man still felt a lot of pressure.

He shifted his body to relieve the pressure. "My name is Blair, Blair Hughes. Miss, you look unfamiliar. You're probably not from Motown."

Ning Yun nodded. "My name is Ning Yun, and I come from Azure City."

Blair Hughes' eyes lit up. "So you're from Azure City. I've heard of this city. Although it's a bit remote, the scenery is beautiful, and the girls are quite charming."

"Ahem, well, I just heard it from someone else," Blair quickly apologized, realizing his words had sounded a bit flippant.

"Azure City is indeed very beautiful. If you have the chance, you should go and see it."

Ning Yun said without changing her expression that although she didn't know what Azure City looked like, according to Rand's description, it should be very beautiful.

After saying that, she said somewhat sadly, "I heard Motown has beautiful scenery, but unfortunately, I didn't have time to explore it." Blair couldn't stand seeing girls sad!
He immediately replied, "I can show you around. I know best what good food and fun things there are in Motown."

Judging from his posture, he couldn't wait to drag Ning Yun out to play.

“These are turbulent times. Once the city lord has dealt with the evil dragon, perhaps I’ll have a chance to have some fun,” Ning Yun subtly changed the subject.

When the topic of dragons came up, Blair's shoulders immediately slumped.

"Stop talking. Ever since that evil dragon came, I haven't been able to leave the city, and I've lost a lot of fun. I don't know what these soldiers are good for; they haven't been able to solve the problem for so long."

It was clear that Blair was very dissatisfied with the city lord.

"I heard that the evil dragon is very powerful, and the city lord failed to defeat it twice?"

"I've never seen that dragon. Is it really that scary?" she asked curiously.

Blair curled his lip. "It's just a dragon. Although it's a bit big, we in Mo City aren't afraid of it. For one thing, the first lord of Mo City was chosen by everyone because he killed the evil dragon."

Blair spoke eloquently about the history of Motown.

“Back in the day, my ancestors were also heroes who slew dragons,” Blair said proudly. “I even have dragon wings in my collection.”

Ning Yun had never heard anyone in the city lord's mansion mention this past event.

"Since you've slain the evil dragon before, why does the current city lord keep failing?"

Logically speaking, Mo City should have some experience in slaying dragons, since they've dealt with them before.

Blair moved his lips, about to speak, but then realized that he was in the city lord's mansion.

He glanced around and found that there was no one nearby.

Even if there were people around, they were talking and chatting, and no one noticed them.

Blair lowered his voice, "I heard that the current city lord is not the son of the old city lord at all, so he did not inherit many secrets, including the Dragon Slaying Technique."

Previously, Blair had scoffed at this claim.

However, his family has a long history and has maintained good relations with all the previous city lords.

Therefore, they also knew the secret of the city lord's family.

This includes the Dragon Slaying Technique, which is said to have been written by the ancestor of the Lord of Mo City and passed down only to his descendants.

Therefore, when the Silver Dragon attacked Mo City, the truly powerful families were not alarmed.

However, the city lord repeatedly failed and lost many lives, which led to a lot of rumors circulating in the city.

Therefore, when the city lord sought help from various families, almost no one was willing to lend a hand.

Even if Mo City were to be breached one day, each family would still have some means of survival.

These secrets were unknown to ordinary nobles.

Ning Yun and Xiao Qichen exchanged a glance and a look.

“But I’ve already promised the city lord to help him slay the dragon,” Ning Yun said worriedly. “According to your logic, isn’t it destined to fail?”

Blair quickly reassured her, "No, no, don't worry, this dragon slaying is different. My dad has already agreed to help."

Although people still don't trust the city lord, this time the evil dragon is different. It not only attacks Mo City, but also wants to completely isolate it and wipe it out in one fell swoop.

Therefore, the major families in the city could not sit idly by.

The city lord goes out during the day to discuss this matter with the various families.

All the families agreed, which is why this banquet took place.

"Don't worry, I'll go with you tomorrow. Just stay in the city and wait for good news!"

Blair was very confident about this and wanted to maintain a good image in front of Ning Yun.

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Ning Yun didn't linger any longer.

She suddenly frowned. "Sorry, I suddenly have a bit of a headache and want to go back and rest for a while."

Blair didn't want to miss this opportunity to impress and wanted to escort the beauty back to her room.

But Xiao Qichen stepped aside to block her, saying, "I'll accompany Miss back to her room."
