Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 811: Chapter 526: Private Banquet at the Trading Conference_2

More unexpectedly, she was on the path to carry the banner of Coldflame.

At this moment, Ariel’s expression became determined once more.

Since she had made up her mind to tread this thorny path with the help of the Lord, she must go forward steadfastly!

Seeing the determination on Ariel’s fair face, Leo Ray nodded slightly.

He then said, “Forget it, let’s discuss the matter of subduing Asher at a later time. Our priority now is to reach an employment agreement with the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps.”

“Yes, Lord!”

At these words, all the subordinates stood up and saluted in unison.

Thus, after a short rest in the VIP room, Leo Ray and his entourage went to the banquet hall under the guidance of Gael and Kelsey.

In the process, Leo Ray learned more about the private banquet.

Only he and the elite warriors of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps were present.

Even the other family members of Gael and Kelsey were not invited.

After all, this place had just come under their branch’s control, and it was possible that there were still remnants of the direct line’s ears and eyes.

As for Lord Asher Porter of Viennas City and Old Mage Carlvin, they were still conducting archaeological work in the Titan Underground Temple.

Although there were no longer any noteworthy treasures inside, the temple itself was a valuable treasure in terms of history.

As for Blue Roses and Broken Blade, the elite warriors from the two independent mercenary corps, they happily returned to their respective locations after collecting nearly 40 damaged giant battleaxes and entrusting the Viennas City Sanders’ Trading Conference, controlled by Gael, to sell them.

“My Lord, according to my uncle’s estimation, the price of each Titan battleaxe is at least 100,000 gold dragons, which really benefits those two independent mercenary corps!”

At this moment, Kelsey, walking at the front, looked back and whispered with pursed lips, “We each got one-third of the 50 battleaxes, besides the more than ten that my Lord took.

Each of them could get at least 1.5 million gold dragons! No wonder they couldn’t close their mouths when they left, constantly thanking my Lord.”

“My dear, be careful you are overheard; my Lord has ulterior motives,” Gael whispered with a frown.

“Ulterior motives?”

After pondering for a moment, Kelsey suddenly realized, “Could it be that my Lord is preparing to subdue…”

Before she could finish speaking, under Gael’s serious gaze, Kelsey quickly covered her mouth. She giggled at Leo Ray and stopped talking.

Seeing Kelsey’s cautious look, like a frightened rabbit, Leo Ray couldn’t help but smile helplessly.

In a short while, they passed through the classical corridor covered with high-grade red carpets and with magical paintings hanging on the walls.

Leo Ray and his group of thirteen entered a spacious and bright hall.

Under the illumination of the crystal clear crystal tassel chandelier, Leo Ray noticed that the room was about 200 square meters in size, with numerous gorgeous patterns such as golden hollow scrolls, atropa belladonna leaves, and scalloped flowers carved neatly on the white walls.

It looked elegant, yet revealed a touch of luxury.

In the hall, young maids and attendants carrying plates were moving around.

Exquisitely laid white tablecloths covered seven or eight long tables, which were filled with various types of meat, fruits, and pastries.

They looked like artworks plated up.

Meanwhile, the warm and refreshing aroma of food wafted into their nostrils.

When the maids and attendants saw Leo Ray and the others arrive, they immediately bowed respectfully.

Seeing this scene, the expressionless Leo Ray nodded slightly.

If this had taken place in his previous life, such a scene would have been unforgettable and something he could never have seen in his lifetime.

But now, it was nothing more than an ordinary daily life.

“My Lord, this is the venue for the private banquet. If my Lord is not satisfied, I will guide my Lord to check out other venues,” said one of the subordinates.Just as Leo Ray was sighing to himself, Gael’s respectful voice gently came over, “Furthermore, I have hired the best string ensemble, dancers, and wandering poets in Viennas City, ready to perform and entertain at any time.”

“Very well, let’s have it here. I am satisfied.”

As his gaze moved around, Leo Ray nodded slightly in approval.

“Understood, my Lord. This time, we have invited twelve powerful individuals from the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps…”

Then, the respectful voice of Gael passed into Leo Ray’s ears.

Following Gael’s introduction, Leo Ray learned that the one disguised as an old auctioneer at the auction was Master Walter, the Tier 4 Eight-star Hydro Great Magician, and the vice-captain of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps.

The other two senior great magicians were both at the Tier 4 Six-star level: Master Phil, a fire-type great magician, and Master Swill, an earth-type great magician. They are both well-known heavyweights in the mercenary world of Coldflame.

As for the other nine mercenaries, they are all at the Tier 3 Peak Level and are veteran mercenaries with a good reputation in the mercenary world.

“My Lord, it is worth mentioning that the leader of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps has been missing for many years. As for the specifics, these great magicians who are the elites of the mercenary world have been tight-lipped about it. There must be a reason for it.”

Bowing slightly towards Leo Ray, Gael whispered.

“I see.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded thoughtfully.

“My Lord, it’s about time. The powerful individuals of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps should have arrived. I will go and bring them over.”

Seeing that the meals were almost ready, Gael reported once again.

“Go ahead, you’ve worked hard.”

Leo Ray nodded with satisfaction at the tall and sturdy middle-aged man, who was meticulous in his work.

After Gael left with a bow, Leo Ray’s gaze fell on the surrounding subordinates.

As for the foodie trio: one human, one wolf, and one dragon, it goes without saying that they were holding a plate in one hand and a knife and fork in the other, all ready for the banquet to start.

Ariel stood quietly by Leo Ray’s side, surrounded by the two kingdom generals.

This time, Leo Ray’s purpose was to hire the powerful members of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps to guard the mountain fortress in the name of the Fifth Princess Ariel.

Thus, his identity was still that of a guest under Her Highness the Fifth Princess, and naturally, there was no need to hide her identity as a princess.

As for Taylor and other subordinates, they were scattered around Leo Ray, always on guard for any sudden events.

It wasn’t long before a hearty laughter came from outside the banquet hall, “Haha, Master Gael, in any case, it’s our honor to have old folks like us invited for a meal.”

“Master Walter is too polite. It is my honor that you could grace us with your presence at the Sanders’ Trading Conference in Viennas City,” came Gael’s humble voice, “Of course, as I just mentioned, the one inviting distinguished guests like you this time is a mysterious and important person.”

“Mysterious important person? That really has me looking forward to it!”

After another burst of laughter, the first elderly voice rang out again.

Next, along with a series of increasingly clear footsteps,

Under Gael’s guidance, three elderly magicians wearing different-colored blue, red, and yellow robes appeared at the door.

Behind them, a group of middle-aged magicians stood in line, the other powerful members of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps.

“It turns out to be the Princess?”

At first glance, the blue-robed elderly magician recognized Ariel standing next to Leo Ray and, after a moment of surprise, immediately led the group of mercenaries to kneel on one knee, “Members of the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps greet the Princess!”

“You may all rise. Today’s protagonist is not me, but him.”

Ariel raised her hand slightly and stepped aside, revealing Leo Ray.

“Ah?”

Hearing Ariel’s inexplicable words and feeling puzzled, the gaze of the powerful mercenaries fell on Leo Ray.
