Chapter 377: Big Shot

Not to mention poor Mitchell, who was about to retire.

Even Lei Luo was shocked.

Lei Luo turned his head and saw Morton’s sincere and calm expression.

He suddenly understood how the empire was divided.

The entire empire was divided into twelve provinces.

Between each province, one could pass through a teleportation magic array.

However, the fees were very exaggerated.

Ordinary people would spend their entire lives in their own small towns.

They knew almost nothing about the affairs of other provinces.

For example, the matter of the Dark Dragon Alliance destroying the East God Alliance was even more of a special case.

Since that was the case, in a short period of time, it was impossible for Mitchell to have any other way to investigate this matter.

Since he wanted to say that someone else had betrayed him, naturally, he had to say how powerful he was.

No matter what, Morton used to be the boss of Morton Trading Company.

Although his assets were gone, his credit was still there.

And it was obvious that Morton’s words quickly played out as expected.

“Lei Luo…Duke…Duke…regarding your unhappy encounter with us, I represent…”

In the legends, a person who had the title of duke was highly privileged.

This title would allow him the chance to speak at the empire’s assembly.

In the entire Dark Dragon Alliance, only the leader, Yekis, was at that level.

Mitchell, who was a middle-rank military officer who had failed to achieve anything, suddenly felt a little scared after being burdened with such a huge mission.

At this moment, Lei Luo completely acted like a big shot.

He waved his hand a little wearily.

“All right. Just treat it as a special trip. As long as we end this quickly, it will be fine.”

After that, Mitchell respectfully invited them into the carriage.

Even Arthur was treated as a guard and entered the luxurious carriage.

Inside the carriage…

“Now can you tell me what you want to do?”

Arthur spread his hands and looked at the two innocently.

Lei Luo and Morton looked at each other.

The two of them smiled knowingly.

Then, Lei Luo opened his mouth to answer Arthur’s question.

“We plan to let Mitchell’s deputy, that young man, defect and then escort us to the place we want to go.”

“But…on what basis?”

“I will send him a city with a population of 10,000. As a small military officer, this is a goal that he will never achieve in his lifetime.”

Hearing Lei Luo’s words, Arthur was stunned.

“Where is your city? What do you mean?”

“I don’t have one, but Duke Lei Luo does.”

Arthur blinked and understood a little.

“Oh…you want to lie to him? But how confident are you?”

“Probably…80%.”

Hearing Lei Luo’s words, Arthur looked at Morton.

Morton nodded as well.

“More or less.”

“What if the plan fails? Then what should we do?”

“Then…we can only accept our fate.”

Lei Luo’s tone was very casual.

It was so casual that it had nothing to do with him.

“This…”

Arthur looked at Morton as if he was asking for help again.

“Do you think that it’s more likely for you to break into the enemy’s territory on horseback, or is our plan more likely to succeed?”

Five minutes later, Lei Luo and the others took a simple rest and were invited into their tent.

After a few simple greetings, Lei Luo and the other two were welcomed into the tent in a highly polite manner.

Everyone planned to set up camp and rest.

However, despite being small, the camp looked very good.

From this, it could be seen that the Dark Dragon Alliance was proud of themselves.

They liked to show off their noble demeanor everywhere. This was not just a legend.

“The prosperity of the second province is well known. It is said that there is everything there. Almost all the good things in the entire empire are there. I wonder why Duke Lei Luo would think of coming to our third province for a trip?”

Only Mitchell, Lei Luo, Morton, and his adjutant were in the tent.

It seemed that Mitchell had really been fooled by Lei Luo.

Not a single guard was left in the tent.

Before coming, Lei Luo had been worried that Arthur would lose his cool, but Arthur’s performance had exceeded his expectations when he acted like a big shot and did not say a word.

He stood behind Lei Luo as a guard and stood straight with an extremely cold expression.

It was as if he had been a guard for a long time and didn’t care about anyone.

“Morton and I are good friends. When I heard that his business had failed, I specially came over to see him. I didn’t expect to encounter such a thing. Morton, what was that woman’s name?”

Lei Luo turned his face slightly and looked at Morton.

“Allie. It is said that she is the daughter of the former East God Alliance. She is related to the royal family, so she has the title of Princess.”

“Oh? I see. She is a member of the royal family. She is indeed very good-looking.”

Lei Luo had specifically asked Habacca back then about what he needed to do to become a big shot.

Habacca then replied, “First, you have to speak slowly.”

Lei Luo had asked Habacca what he meant. He wanted to know what exactly he had to do. He felt like it was an uncomfortable ordeal.

Habacca had thought for a moment and replied to him, “Just imagine that you are eating air. If you eat fast, you will choke to death.”

And now, Lei Luo spoke as if he was eating air.

It was as if he would choke to death if he spoke any faster.

His appearance had actually shocked Mitchell and his adjutant.

The two of them widened their eyes.

They did not dare to turn their eyes as they stared at him.

And just as he was about to say that, Lei Luo’s voice suddenly stopped.

And at this moment, Morton also followed up at the right time.

“Mitchell, why did you capture Allie? Was it the order of the city lord? Feng Xin’s subordinates almost killed all of us.”

“The city lord was too bold and offended all of you. On behalf of the Dark Dragon Alliance, I would like to express my deepest apologies to all of you. We are not here to capture Princess Allie. Instead, we are here to protect her.”

“What is going on?”

Lei Luo and Morton looked at each other.

“Huh? That’s a long story. Back then, Lord Feng Xin and Lord James were married through a political marriage, but James had already had someone in his heart, and that person was Princess Allie. Princess Allie and James are in love, but the son of the king of the Northern Territory, Ulysses, has always had a soft spot for Princess Allie. The leader of the East God Alliance also has the same idea. In addition, Feng Xin just happened to choose James, so the East God Alliance kept James in the dark and separated the two of them with great righteousness.”
