Mount and Blade System: Start from Pioneer Lords

The person of unknown origin, Xion, suddenly left when the Highcliff Castle squad was halfway through their journey. Naturally, the lord was overjoyed and agreed without a second thought.

Frankly, he was really unwilling to deal with these mysterious fellows.

He just didn't expect the other party to suddenly visit, which startled the lord and made him wonder who exactly this person was.

"Let's go, we'll go together and see what's going on." Li Wei clapped his hands, took the lead, and strode out with a vigorous gait.

A group of people, accompanied by the lingering hot wind, surged into the room specially prepared for receiving foreign guests on the outskirts of Highcliff Castle.

But the moment he pushed open the door, the lord was stunned in place.

Sitting in the room was clearly a stunning beauty with a waterfall of silver hair, who looked no more than twenty-five or six years old. Her face was almost identical to Sophia's, and it was clear at a glance that they were related by blood.

The lord felt a knot in his heart, thinking that his deception of Sophia had been exposed, and he almost turned around and left.

Fortunately, he was quite knowledgeable and managed to hold back, asking calmly, "You are?"

She was holding a cup of hot tea and taking a dignified sip. Seeing the crowd of people swarming in, she just smiled slightly: "Li Wei, don't you recognize me?"

"Where did the boss pick up another woman?" Zha Te muttered secretly. He had lost count of the women who had unclear relationships with his boss, and now there was another one.

"Xion?" Li Wei asked tentatively.

"To be precise, my full name should be Xiweiya·Angsai·Liedesigao, Xion is just the name of another identity." Xiweiya's face always held a calm smile, but her light words caused everyone present to feel as if a thunderbolt had struck from a clear sky: "Thank you, Li Wei, for taking care of Sophia for so long, she is my daughter."

The big and small leaders of Highcliff Castle looked blankly at Sophia hiding behind them. Had her parents come looking for her?

Sophia was even more bewildered than them.

Seeing the shocked crowd, Li Wei frowned. Was such a small matter worth making a fuss about? Like a bunch of country bumpkins who had never seen the world. He closed his dropped jaw and waved his hand directly: "Sophia and Tina stay, everyone else waits outside."

"It's over, the boss is in trouble this time." As he left, the beastman barbarian Zha Te said gloatingly, and was then rewarded with a kick to the chest by the lord, sending him flying into the snowdrift, leaving only his butt exposed.

Soon, the spacious room was left with only four people.

"Mother~" Sophia, who had been hiding behind watching the excitement, now looked like a child who had done something wrong, burying her head and twisting the hem of her clothes, not daring to look directly at the brilliant eyes of the Silver Dragon Queen in front of her.

After all, she had sneaked out of Dragon Island and come to Highcliff Castle for almost a year, and now her mother had actually come in person, making it hard for her not to feel uneasy.

However, the expected blame did not come. Xiweiya just touched her head and smiled slightly: "Sophia, you have grown a lot, I am very pleased."

Hearing this, Sophia immediately proudly puffed out her considerable chest.

Li Wei and Bai Ruisi Tina stood aside, minding their own business. Now that the two mothers and daughters were reunited, there was really no chance for them to interject.

The two could only exchange glances, preparing to find a suitable opportunity.

"To be honest, Li Wei, you don't need to be too nervous, just treat me as a mother who is worried about her daughter's safety." Xiweiya turned to look at the lord and smiled.

A strong adult silver dragon, and one with terrible magical attainments, whose strength was at least Legendary, and whose dragon breath could destroy half a city, no one could remain calm.

Li Wei complained inwardly, but smiled slightly on the surface: "Actually, Ms. Xiweiya, you don't need to worry too much. In Debe, there is probably no place safer than Highcliff Castle."

"I do believe that." Xiweiya took a deep look at the young man. Although he was not old, his strength had reached the level of a true Legendary.

Even she couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"I have seen all of your performance in White Bone Fortress. Among humans, you are the only genius I have ever seen. I see courage, fearlessness, justice, generosity, and other qualities in you. You are completely different. It can be said that Sophia's growth is all due to your teaching."

"Is that so." Even the lord, who had a thick skin, blushed with praise and waved his hand modestly: "It's just fate."

"Hmph, Li Wei is not generous at all, he often deducts my wages." Hearing her mother praise Li Wei for being generous, Sophia immediately became unhappy. After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong and hurriedly covered her mouth.

Unfortunately, it was too late. Xiweiya asked in surprise, "Sophia, do you have wages?"

"You've been out for so long, you must have earned a lot of money, right?"

"No! No!" The silver dragon girl shook her head like a rattle.

"Then what are you covering your little bag for?" Xiweiya smiled and looked at the small bag Sophia was carrying on her back.

"What do you want to do?" Just like guarding against a thief, the deep bond between mother and daughter just now disappeared. The silver dragon girl jumped directly behind the lord, revealing a small head with a vigilant look.

You must know that besides the money she earned working in Highcliff Castle, there was also the reward Li Wei had promised her not long ago, a full forty-five gold coins, eighty silver coins, and sixty copper coins!

"You really break my heart, even my dear Sophia doesn't trust me." Xiweiya covered her face and pretended to be a mother whose heart had been broken by her daughter, coupled with that beautiful face, making people unable to help but feel pity.

"Li Wei in front of me is my boss, his strength is terribly strong, and he is specially protecting me. If you try to cheat me out of money again, be careful he beats you!"

Sophia, who had been tricked by this trick many times, didn't fall for it, and even learned to brandish the tiger's skin and pull the big flag, waving her small fist, as if she was seriously saying that it was true.

Li Wei instantly broke out in a pile of cold sweat behind him. Damn it, it's just a few dozen gold coins, and you sold me out, and even want me to beat your own mother, you're really being a filial son, aren't you?

The key is that he doesn't even have the confidence to beat the adult silver dragon in front of him whose strength he can't see through.

He unhesitatingly gave the other party a crisp knock on the head: "What are you thinking about in that brain of yours?"

Then, without waiting for Sophia, who was covering her forehead with a resentful look, to complain, he said righteously: "Ms. Xiweiya is a Dragon Island elder, and also a Silver Dragon Queen known as the 'Star Light', her wealth must have already been enough to rival a country, enough to pile up a mountain, so how could she care about your paltry sum?"

"Yes, yes, my mother definitely doesn't like my little money. If the reputation of robbing a young dragon's money spreads out, it will definitely damage her image." Fortunately, Sophia became very smart as soon as money was involved, and hurriedly echoed the lord.

The two sang in harmony, holding back a certain unscrupulous silver dragon mother.

"Sophia, you have really grown up a lot." Xiweiya seemed to be able to change her face like in a Peking opera, instantly returning to her calm smile.

As if the unscrupulous mother just now wasn't her.

The lord had already figured it out, Xion was Xiweiya, and Xiweiya was Xion.

After all, silver dragons are recognized as the strongest masters of manipulating transformation techniques. For them, transforming into another person is simply easier than drinking water.

It's just that this Silver Dragon Queen didn't know if it was intentional or what, even if she transformed into a male, her behavior and actions were still full of charm, so the lord initially felt that she was very demonic.

But the lord didn't figure out one thing, and that was what the other party was transforming into Xion for.

If it was just to contact Highcliff Castle, there was no need to go to such great lengths. If she directly transformed into a spellcaster who wanted to join Highcliff Castle, he would have welcomed her with open arms.

"Actually, there are a few things I don't understand. Ms. Xiweiya, what was the reason for you to become Xion and join the Vanguard Red Swordsmen, and did Mandela know your identity?"

In the spacious living room, only four people sat around the table, and Li Wei was seriously asking Xiweiya questions.

"These questions of yours are precisely the purpose of my coming here, and there is nothing to hide."

The Silver Dragon Queen slowly stated, she held up her two slender fingers: "Then I will answer your two questions first."

"First, Mandela doesn't know that my true identity is a silver dragon. He only knows my other identity, the legendary magician traveling the continent - Wei Ya."

"Second, I joined the Vanguard Red Swordsmen because I wanted to investigate something clearly in Gunda. Mandela also doesn't know this purpose. He only knows that I temporarily joined them because I wanted to study magic patterns. I used to have some friendship with him."

"So many aliases, how many enemies do you have?" The lord secretly complained in his heart.

But at the same time, he also knew that the silver dragon in front of him was at least a legendary mage.

"Since you don't tell Mandela about these things, why tell me?" The lord knocked on the table, not believing it directly.

"My identity is not suitable for public disclosure, it will cause a lot of trouble." Xiweiya took a sip of tea before continuing:

"And telling you, I don't think it will cause trouble. Because you are independent of everyone else, and you have no contact with those people who I think are troublesome, but at the same time, you have certain things that I value."

"Besides these, it's also because I want to get some help from you."

"What help?" Li Wei asked calmly.

Even a strong adult silver dragon needs to seek his help, it's hard to imagine how serious this problem is.

"I used to spend most of my time traveling the continent, until last year I returned to Dragon Island because of an incident." Xiweiya glanced at Sophia, the meaning was self-evident, she continued: "Later, I came to Debe because of this. After the matter was over, I simply continued to travel in Debe, until when I went to Gunda, I suddenly sensed a fleeting aura. Although it was very short, I wouldn't mistake it."

"That was the aura of a bronze dragon, but as far as I know...this bronze dragon should have been dead for a long time!"

"Therefore, I want to know whether it is dead or alive. If it is dead, then no metal dragon can tolerate others torturing the corpse and soul of a dead companion!"

Li Wei was glad that he didn't directly attack Sophia at the beginning. At that time, the Silver Dragon Queen was definitely nearby. At that time, he hadn't cultivated the "Holy Word Codex" yet, and it was hard to say whether he could beat the other party.

But the two were tacit about this.

"Why me?" The lord pointed at his nose: "Even you can't investigate it, and you expect me, a country lord, to find out something?"

"Because your strength is outstanding, enough to cope with all changes, and you don't have prejudice against aliens or even dragons. This can be seen from Sophia." Xiweiya obviously had secretly observed the Highcliff Castle lord a lot, "And most importantly, you were summoned by the King of Debe and will have the opportunity to enter the palace."

"Li Wei, to be honest with you, I can feel that aura is inside the palace, but there is a huge magic circle under the entire palace, which is specially designed to restrain dragons."

Speaking of this, Bai Ruisi Tina suddenly raised her small hand, recalling and interjecting: "I heard from my elders that this magic circle was jointly created by the first king of Fiede and four or five legendary mages."

"Because the enemy country that was at war with Fiede at that time had dragon knights, in order to prevent the other party from directly attacking the Fiede palace, this magic circle was specially created."

"This magic circle will instantly suppress and immobilize any dragon that approaches, and even prevent it from using magic and dragon breath."

Although Fiede has been destroyed for hundreds of years, the surviving remnants often pay more attention to history, especially the great things done by the first king.

Therefore, Bai Ruisi Tina just happened to know some information about this magic circle.

"That's right, although nearly a thousand years have passed, the power of this magic circle has been greatly reduced under the erosion of time, but once I get close, I can't maintain the perfect transformation technique, and even suffer sequelae for it, making the transformation technique unable to maintain the most perfect state in a short period of time." Xiweiya didn't shy away from the fact that she had tried it once, but obviously it was not successful.

"Li Wei, this is not dangerous with your strength. That magic circle has no effect on humans." Xiweiya continued to lure.

"What can I get if I help you?" The lord chose to directly open the skylight and speak frankly.

He didn't mind helping, but he minded helping for free.

After all, it's just going to the palace to take a look. Anyway, he's going to the palace sooner or later, so he can explore it along the way.

"I think the red dragon in the Dragon Crystal of Di Gen's Howl is not peaceful, right?" Xiweiya asked confidently: "It will even actively affect your use."

"That's right, although I can use it with brute force, this red dragon can also control part of the sword, causing me to use it awkwardly and not smoothly." Li Wei nodded, telling the truth.

When he picked up this weapon, Xiweiya, transformed into Xion, saw it with her own eyes.

"I can solve this problem for you." Xiweiya smiled slightly.

"And this is just one of the rewards I'm giving you first."
