However, this does not mean that the other party is a trustworthy ally.
After all, in essence, at the moment, the relationship between him and these two is adversarial.
“Hehe, young man, you are too modest.”
On the other side, Lord Asher still wore a pleasant smile.
He took a sip of the fragrant tea in his cup while casually inquiring, “Mr. Christopher, I heard that your hometown is in a remote area of the Kingdom. Your visit to Viennas City must be for some important matter, right?”
Hearing this, Leo Ray, who was also sipping tea, slowly put down his teacup.
It was easy to understand that the other party was asking such questions to probe his background.
If he thought in the same position, from the other’s point of view, he might be a member of the mysterious organization, which was still uncertain.
From this, it can be seen that if he were to reveal any flaws, the other party might take action right away.
As a result, it would undoubtedly destroy the previous layout.
Your Excellency, the City Lord, didn’t you already know my purpose for this trip? ”
While still maintaining a smile on his face, Leo Ray responded, “I have a unique connection with the collateral family of the Sanders Family. On this trip, I am here to help the collateral family and to take the opportunity to travel and adventure.”
Then, Leo Ray continued, “At the auction just now, it happened that the City Lord offered a rare opportunity to explore the ancient ruins together, and I was accompanied by two renowned Tier 4 Powerhouses and explorers of unknown ancient ruins.”
For me, who loves adventure, this is definitely an opportunity not to be missed. Therefore, I took the liberty to bid for it, and I hope that your Excellency will not mind.”
Leo Ray answered in such a way for one purpose only: to dispel the other party’s doubts.
As long as he could convince Lord Asher that he was on the same side as Master Gael.
Due to their close relationship.
They would naturally have fewer doubts about him.
Moreover, this explanation could reasonably justify all of his actions.
“Hehe, my young friend Christopher, there’s no need for a lengthy explanation. Since you are a friend of the collateral family of the Sanders Family, we are on the same side.”
On the other hand, Lord Asher’s response was swift, continuing to smile, “However, you only brought a big-eyed mage as your attendant, and your strength seems somewhat weak.”
You should know that recently, due to border conflicts leading to an unstable Kingdom situation, some hidden evil forces are also starting to stir. Be sure to be careful.”
“Thank you, your Excellency, for your concern.”
Taking a sip of fragrant tea, Leo Ray maintained his smile and thought to himself, “So he has started probing my strength? It seems that he has not completely let down his guard against me.”
Of course, Leo Ray was naturally prepared for this.
The lower the strength he revealed, the less likely the other party would be on their guard against him.
With this in mind, Leo Ray gently put down his teacup and responded, “Don’t hide it from your Excellency, I have realized the seriousness of this issue, so I have reached an agreement with Captain Tina of the Blue Rose Knights and Captain Layne of the Broken Blade Knights.”
These two Knight orders will send strong warriors to act as my guards. During the exploration of the ruins, the powerful members of the two Knight orders will also accompany us. I hope your Excellency is aware.”
“So that’s it, then I can rest assured.”
Hearing this, Lord Asher still wore a pleasant smile.
However, his full-faced smile seemed to contain a hint of warmth that had never been there before, continuing, “Let’s discuss the specific time for exploring the ruins then.”
“Since I will be in the surrounding cities during this time, please schedule the time, your Excellency.”
Nodding at the other party, Leo Ray responded without hesitation.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
From the other’s somewhat kind expression, it seemed that he had not been discovered by him.
“Then I have no choice but to obey.”
Glancing at Master Gael next to him, Lord Asher said, “We have been busy in the Viennas City Lord Mansion recently, so let’s set the time for five days later. How does this sound to you, young friend Christopher?”
“So it’s like this? It seems that they are not in a hurry to push forward with this step, as their financial situation has eased, and the confrontation with the mysterious organization is not yet clear.”
Leo Ray slightly raised his eyebrows, continuing to ponder.
“However, this is in line with my plan, as I also need to learn more about the mysterious organization and be better prepared to deal with potential attacks.”
“Furthermore, during this period, my strength can undoubtedly be further enhanced.”
With this in mind, Leo Ray picked up the teapot on the table, pouring himself some tea, and said, “Your Excellency’s arrangement is fine. I will return to Viennas City in five days.”
Having received the other party’s affirmation, Leo Ray put down the teapot as if it was unintentional.
