Hearing this, Lei Xiao, who was already a little sleepy, couldn't help but suddenly became energetic. His eyes lit up and he said, "Take me over there and have a look."
In this way, under the guidance of Fang Hai, he led Lin, Huzhang and others along the long stone corridor. Lei Xiao further noticed.
This city lord's official residence is, to put it bluntly, a small castle with three floors. The hall just now is located in the center of the first floor.
The treasure house is located at the deepest level of the third floor.
When he got closer, Lei Xiao discovered it.
At this time, the heavy metal door of the treasure house has been opened, and several heavily armed trade fair guards are standing guard at the door.
On the other side, when they saw the new owner of the place, Lei Xiao, coming, the trade fair guards immediately bowed respectfully, while Lei Xiao nodded slightly in return, and then walked straight in.
Entering the treasure house, which was at least 100 square meters in size, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.
I saw exquisite paintings hanging on the surrounding walls, and rows of transparent display cabinets filled with a dazzling array of gold cups and silverware. For a moment, it was like walking into a strange museum.
After some inspection, Lei Xiao noticed.
These items are just ordinary valuables without any attributes. However, a small door in the corner is particularly eye-catching.
Stepping forward, I saw colorful magic streams flashing across the surface of this seemingly ordinary wooden door from time to time, which was obviously a hidden mystery.
“Lord, this door is subject to multiple magic restrictions, so please let me come down!”
Just when Lei Xiao saw this, Chao Yan on the side took a step forward, straightened the witch hat on his head, and said energetically.
After getting the fourth-level staff, she has been in a state of excitement, wanting to set fire to it anytime and anywhere.
“Be safe.” Lei Xiao nodded slightly and took a few steps back.
On the other side, I saw Chao Yan holding a fourth-level staff. He raised his face first, patted his chest, then turned around and began to recite an obscure spell silently.
Soon, a fiery red light spot suddenly appeared on the surface of the door covered with magic restrictions.
As Chaoyan's mantras became louder and louder, the red light spots began to slowly expand outward until they covered the entire wooden door.
In an instant, with a sound similar to the breaking of an iron chain, all the magic light dissipated at the same time, and the door opened in response.
“Good job.” Lei Xiao touched Chaoyan’s head through the witch’s hat. Surrounded by Huzhuang and Yecang, Lei Xiao walked straight in.
Entering this slightly smaller storage room, Lei Xiao couldn't help but be stunned.
What caught his eyes was a sea of gold coins.
This scene is like discovering a pirate's treasure hidden in a cave, which makes people's hearts beat fast.
Without hesitation, Lei Xiao put all the golden dragons into his pocket. After checking, Lei Xiao discovered that there were more than 3 million pieces.
“It seems that the city lord does a lot of searching. He is the captain of the transportation brigade and has not run away.”
Smiled slightly, patted the space bracelet, and continued to check.
Following that, he found a number of gleaming third-level weapons and equipment of various types on several exquisite weapon racks and equipment racks, exactly 30 of them.
“You just paid for 30 pieces of equipment, are you back now? Of course, this is without upgrading. As for upgrading, we’ll talk about it later.”
Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao found a very beautiful and sharp fourth-level long sword on an exquisite weapon rack in the deepest part.
“I didn’t expect there to be level four weapons.”
Seeing this, Lei Xiao hesitated this time and immediately started to upgrade.
【Congratulations, your "Level 4 Weapon: Flashing Blade" has been upgraded to "Level 5 Weapon: Rolandel"! 】
“Has there been a qualitative change, and it has directly become the fifth level? It seems that the four quantitative changes of the six recruitment orders last time are really trying to save luck for this time.”
Surprised, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and an exquisite long sword with great brilliance appeared in his hand.
Looking carefully, the dimensions of this fifth-level long sword are almost identical to the third-level light sword currently worn by Lei Xiao.
However, its exquisiteness and the smooth texture of the sword body are obviously several grades higher than the latter. It also gives people an inexplicable sense of holiness, like a perfect work of art.
Caressing the slightly cold sword blade, Lei Xiao couldn't wait to open the weapon's attribute bar.
ˆ【Name:Rolandel】
【Level: Level 5? Extraordinary (Silver)】
【Attack strength:★★★★★★】
【Additional Effect 1: The Immortal Blade "Never wears out, this sword cannot be damaged under any conditions"】
【Additional Effect 2: Angel Blade "Increases damage to dark attribute enemies by 100%"]
【Note: One of the three holy weapons of a lost empire, also known as the Sword of Eternity, was once the sword of the fifth-level paladin Duran. After his death, it is said that this sword was thrown into a lake somewhere. 】
“Hey guys, two special effects, one of which will never be damaged, is simply a must-have for home travel.
Furthermore, judging from the notes, it is one of the three-piece set. I wonder if there will be any special effects after collecting them all? ”
While taking off the previous third-level light sword, Lei Xiao happily replaced it with the new Rolandel.
After that, Lei Xiao, who had plundered all the useful objects in the treasure house, led everyone back to the hall on the first floor.
At this time, it was past midnight, but the hall was still brightly lit.
At this moment, Lei Xiao clearly understood that he still had a lot of work to complete.
“Lin, while I’m away, you will be fully responsible for this Kongqing town.”
Summoning the pretty female knight in white knight uniform and the burly old man in brocade robes to him, Lei Xiao ordered: "As for old Mr. Fang Hai, just be responsible for assisting him.
I will give you a series of forging tasks later, don’t worry about the materials, I’ll take care of them.”
“As you command, Lord Lord!” On the other side, the two of them saluted with their fists clasped.
“Lin, based on the current situation, what do you think about the future trends of the Cold Flame Kingdom?”
After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao took a sip of the mountain spring water he brought with him and asked.
“Back to my lord, after your previous layout, the Cold Flame Kingdom will definitely not use troops against us when the border battlefield is tight.”
Lin frowned and thought for a moment, then responded: "I'll see.
The Leng Yan royal family should send envoys here in the near future to appoint you as the new city lord and give you all the rights as the city lord to stabilize us.
Therefore, according to the current situation, as long as we can ensure the fulfillment of our tax obligations, the other party should not take any action against us while the border battlefield is not yet stable."
“Very good, let’s take advantage of this time to develop as soon as possible.
At the same time, wait for the opportunity to fully understand the opponent's specific strength and deployment of troops to prepare for emergencies."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued: "In addition, regarding the issue of taxation in the city, whether it is for merchants or civilians, it will be reduced to the normal level of the Cold Flame Kingdom.
Furthermore, some preferential measures can be set up for businessmen as appropriate to further develop Kongqing Town, as long as the balance of revenue and expenditure can be maintained.
All in all, I haven’t taken this tax seriously yet. The key is to stabilize people’s hearts and businessmen.”
“Yes!” On the other side, Lin and Fang Hai saluted again. Naturally, they had already seen the lord’s strong financial resources.
“Lin, the last question is, what do you think about the reaction of your Phytolacca family?”
After pondering again for a moment, Lei Xiao asked again to the pretty female knight in front of him.
