#1544 - Dialogue and Inquiry

What Lei Xiao was puzzled about was the strength of this young giant king.

Although he lacks experience and training, his strength is genuine half-step to the seventh level. Lei Xiao, who had just fought with the former, knows this very well.

But judging from his age, this young king is a little too young, and lacks the demeanor and courage that a top-level strong man should have, otherwise he would not have fallen to his knees at such a fast speed.

"Your Majesty is doubting my strength, right?"

Hollis obviously still had a lot of potential to be the leader of a clan. He quickly noticed Lei Xiao's doubts and smiled helplessly, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, before I took over the crown from my father, I was only half a step to the sixth level. The reason why my strength has improved by leaps and bounds is because I have inherited my father's bloodline."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

The term "bloodline inheritance" is not unfamiliar to me. I have seen it in Xueya and Sarah. However, it is an extremely broad concept. The specific inheritance methods are different, and some even require extremely complicated magical rituals.

But what is certain is that the inheritor will inherit all or part of the strength of the inheritor. Therefore, it is not surprising that Hollis will reach the strength of his father.

Just as Lei Xiao was thinking of this, Hollis' voice became more sorrowful, and he said sadly: "This is the last gift my father gave me."

"So, His Majesty Hollis II has already..."

Manager I did not finish his question, but there was still a hint of respect in his voice.

After all, for hundreds of years, the cooperation between Half-Titan and Shadow Market has been quite pleasant, and the former has gained a lot of benefits from it, which is why it has maintained its current ranking.

"That's right. My father's death was too sudden, and I was not prepared for the coronation. In addition, the match with the stone giant was not going well. So after weighing the pros and cons with my uncle and others, I made this decision."

Hollis didn't hold back and responded.

"I see. The reason why your words and deeds are so similar to those of the old king that it is hard to tell the real from the fake is probably because you have always been by his side, right?"

The manager nodded slightly and asked the last question.

"That's right. Father has always been the goal I admire and yearn for. I have always taken him as my role model and even deliberately learned his words and deeds."

Hollis nodded heavily, then said with a gloomy expression: "It's a pity that I was born dull and my talent is relatively limited. I'm afraid I will never be able to reach the level of my father."

"You are wrong, my king. Under your rule, our half-Titans have once again become equals to the Stone Giants. The cities centered around the capital are thriving. This is an extremely impressive achievement!"

Bruce's old face was full of seriousness as he said to Hollis.

"Yes, we have seen all of this!"

Lux was also full of respect, and echoed: "Perhaps it won't be long before my king doesn't have to do this anymore!"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao still looked thoughtful.

Although it is not known how the old Half-Titan King fell, it is certain that it is obviously easier to subdue the young new king.

"Prince Mad Axe is wrong. It's not that it won't take long, but that we can do this now."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "As long as the half-titan comes under my protection, everything will be solved."

"I'll wait..."

Hollis and the other two looked at each other again, all of them looking extremely embarrassed. Just like what they thought just now, they would not give in easily.

This is not only because of themselves, but also because they know it is difficult to convince others.

Since the blank era, the half-titans have never bowed their heads to anyone and have been fighting with the stone giants until now. Countless iron-blooded warriors have emerged who are willing to fight to the death. Later successors also regard the former as the highest honor.

In this situation, even if they lowered their heads, there would probably be a lot of criticism within the tribe.

"What? Are you guys planning to break your promise?"

Manager I saw that the three were still hesitant, so he continued to chase them, saying, "This time, as the manager, I am the witness. If you break your promise, where will I be placed? Do the half-titans no longer need the Shadow Market to trade?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Hearing this, Hollis and the other two fell even more silent.

"Okay, Mr. Administrator."

Lei Xiao interrupted the other party and said with a smile: "Since they have something difficult to say, why should we force them to do it?"

Lei Xiao had long anticipated the hesitation in the hearts of Hollis and the other two, and had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Oh? What does His Majesty think? Please let me know."

Manager I was originally playing the bad guy, but when he saw Lei Xiao, who was playing the good guy, speaking, he immediately gave up the initiative in the speech.

"It was never my intention to make a half-Titan a slave. Since the three of you are in a difficult situation, why don't we each take a step back?"

Lei Xiao smiled faintly, first looking at Loris, Sina, and Old Gary, and then continued: "That is to walk side by side with us. I will also provide some support to those who are on the same path as I can."

"Of course, even if we walk together, we still need a guide. There's nothing wrong with that, right?"

What Lei Xiao said was not only meant for Hollis and the other two, but also for Xina and others who had not yet been conquered.

"Support to the best of my ability? Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

Hollis quickly grasped the key words and asked tentatively.

"Sir, I just saw that you are using a sixth-level battle axe and sixth-level armor. How many pieces of this level of equipment are there in the Semi-Titan?"

Lei Xiao did not directly answer Hollis's question, but asked back with a smile.

"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, there are a total of ..."

Bruce interrupted Hollis before he could finish his words and turned to Lei Xiao and asked, "Excuse me, why is your Majesty asking these questions?"

After Bruce finished speaking, Lux couldn't help but show a somewhat vigilant look. The sixth-level equipment was a magical weapon that was enough to influence the duel between top-level masters. How could he just hand over his secrets? (End of this chapter)
