After upgrading everything, Lei Xiao continued to inspect the depths of the mercenary guild under the guidance of Hui Lao and other mercenaries.
During this process, Lei Xiao also checked several resource warehouses in sequence.
Although a huge amount of rare resources were stored in it, many of which were key resources for the three miracle buildings in the territory, all of which were collected by Lei Xiao, but there were no extraordinary ingots needed to upgrade the lord's mansion.
Finally, Lei Xiao, who had gained a lot, left Pioneer City under the farewell of Hui Lao and others.
Arriving outside in the breezy sky, Lei Xiao noticed that it was almost dusk and everything was dyed a soft orange-red.
Facing the setting sun, Lei Xiao, who returned to Ice Stone City, first arranged for a team of communication magicians to be stationed here, and then without stopping any longer, he immediately picked up Lao Xiaoer and Fang Hai and headed to Fanyin City to start the forging project.
Preparation.
With the complete blacksmith shop and smelting plant blueprint produced by the lord's mansion as a basis, Lei Xiao and the two old blacksmiths quickly planned a large area on the outskirts of Fanyin City according to ten times the scale of the Loren Kingdom forge.
Spacious area and start implementing it immediately.
For Lei Xiao, whether it is these architectural blueprints or ordinary building resources, they are undoubtedly all available, and he can easily take out any amount he needs.
"Before this, for safety and other reasons, the royal families of various countries prohibited civilians from using architectural blueprints at will, and even nobles needed to report them. But for me, this is obviously a very convenient thing."
"Of course, I will keep this system as well, especially for other lords, who need to control everything within a reasonable range."
Under the silvery moon in the sky, Lei Xiao stood on the planned open space on the outskirts of Fanyin City. He piled a large number of construction resources neatly and ordered his subordinates to build the forging base according to the planned drawings, while nodding thoughtfully.
At present, because the entire Alchemist Guild has spared no effort to serve itself, it is fully committed to alchemizing Qi Condensation Pills and other magic potions that permanently increase strength.
Therefore, under his own arrangement, not only the strength of the seven human kingdoms and the three major neutral organizations are steadily increasing, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers will be strengthened every day and successfully advance to the second level and
Higher level.
Moreover, the alien lords all over the country have also given a lot of support through their exchanges with Qin Qian and other key lords.
First of all, the lord talents who participate in the research and development of lord technology have the highest salary. The lowest level of their mansion has reached level 5. Qin Qian and other key players have reached level 6 and are moving towards level 7.
Not only that, the subordinate strength, equipment, economy and other aspects of the talents of these lords are also ahead of other lords due to their various gifts, and they can be called the first echelon of lords.
"Most of these lords are gathered in Tel Town, the lord research and development base. With the efforts of other lords who have the talent to transfer territories, there are already hundreds of lords settled in Tel Town, located in various places around the town, making the originally limited scale
The town of Tertel is no different from a city."
Lei Xiao looked at the blacksmith shops and smelting plants that were rising around him and nodded thoughtfully.
Secondly, there are the lords with fighting talents. With the improvement of their talent level and their own strength, many of these lords who have grown very fast have reached the second level peak by virtue of their own strength, and even exceeded the third level.
They are all planned near the major border fortresses of the human world to the outside world.
Not only do they need to participate in the defense of nearby fortresses and follow local commanders to learn how to command operations, they also need to become part of the lord's network and become a supply point for various fortresses.
"This part of the lords are controlled by various Xiaoshen groups under Qin Qian's jurisdiction. All their mansions have reached level 5, and their subordinate strength and equipment are also much stronger. With my gift, they are all subordinates of level 2 or above and equipment of level 3."
standards above grade.”
Lei Xiao felt the tremors of the earth as the building rose from the ground, and continued to think in his heart.
Finally, there are the lords who are the nodes of the lord network. These lords are mainly distributed in the surrounding areas of major cities and are also controlled by various Xiaoshen groups under Qin Qian's jurisdiction.
They do not have the research and development capabilities of talent-type lords, nor do they have the training talents of combat-type lords. They all have mediocre talents, such as animal training, night vision, etc.
"The mansions of these lords are all between level 4 and level 5, and their strength and equipment are slightly different."
"However, for talents that still have room for growth, such as animal taming, I have also arranged enough training targets for each lord, so that they can be responsible for the operation of the lord network while conducting talent training. Maybe they can break through to a level
A more effective realm.”
Under the stars, listening to the sound of automatic construction around him, Lei Xiao unfolded the planning drawings of the forging base and watched with satisfaction that everything was proceeding smoothly.
In addition to the above three lords, there are also many exploration and treasure hunting lords who are distributed in various inaccessible areas to be responsible for discovering new mines, ruins and other resources.
As for the strength of these lords, they are between the first echelon and the second echelon. Many of them even have third-level subordinate guards, which can be regarded as outstanding existences.
"Of course, according to the previous thinking, in order to better control everything, in addition to the direct management of the Xiaoshen Regiment, the two shadow squadron subordinates under my command will also be stationed in various territories as inspectors, covertly and covertly."
"In addition, the local city lords and the strong men under the three neutral organizations will also form a cross-network. On the one hand, they will provide necessary help to the local lords, and on the other hand, they will supervise each other to ensure that all places can carry out smoothly and effectively.
Work."
Lei Xiao walked on the streets of the planned forging base and watched groups of Fanyin City garrison assisting their subordinates in keeping the surrounding pedestrians at a distance to prevent accidental injuries from the rising buildings.
As the leading commercial center in the eastern region of Lengyan, even at night, the place is still bustling with people and bustling.
What's more, under his protection, whether it was the fallen nobles, the Black Abyss Brotherhood, or the surrounding bandits and monsters, they had all been wiped out, which undoubtedly further promoted the prosperity of the human world.
"It's really a peaceful scene."
Seeing that everything was in order, Lei Xiao fell into deep thought again.
With his sphere of influence completely covering the seven human kingdoms and becoming famous throughout the human world, all the lords within the human world and even surrounding areas have been brought under his control.
The Xiaoshen Tuan has become its own core management team, assisting it in managing other alien lords.
"In short, in addition to the local power in the human world, the power of the lords is also an extremely important part."
"I will gradually strengthen the development of the lords' power and maximize the talents of each lord."
"At the same time, I have also ordered Qin Qian and others to further focus on selecting a group of lords with extraordinary talents, such as Shen Banxia's blessing talent, etc., to reserve them as talented lords in case of emergencies."
With this in mind, Lei Xiao arranged the construction of the forging base and ordered the royal families of the seven kings and the three neutral organizations to select a group of capable blacksmiths, before heading to Ter town.
In the Lord's R&D base on the outskirts of Ter Town, Lei Xiao first listened to the work report of Qin Qian and other Lords during this period, and learned that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
It is worth mentioning that the imprisoned lords were easily purified because the source of the curse, the Chosen Son of the Evil God, had been eliminated, and they were reintegrated into the lords' ranks, and also received key care from Qin Qian and others. .
The communication with the elves was also in full swing.
Some of the lords responsible for research and development have even drawn many technological drawings based on the knowledge of the dwarfs and combined with Blue Star technology, and are improving and trying to turn them into reality.
"Very good. As my right-hand man, I see all your efforts. You deserve it."
After listening to the report, Lei Xiao looked at Qin Qian, Feng Ling, and Jiang Hao in front of him. He raised his palm slightly, and a pile of potions that were enough to advance the three of them to the fourth level appeared on the conference table.
After their strength has been further improved, the three people who have become more energetic will naturally be able to complete the work of managing other lords more easily.
After sniffing the rich fragrance that instantly filled the entire conference room, it goes without saying that the three people, who had just broken through to the third level of strength, were excited. They all knelt down in front of Lei Xiao according to the etiquette of the nobles.
Looking at the three people whose etiquette was quite standard, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
This was another thing he had done not long ago, which was to confer all three of them as real nobles of the Lengyan Kingdom. Among them, Qin Qian was granted the title of earl, while Feng Ling and Jiang Hao were granted the title of viscount.
"Regarding the matter of conferring titles, the target group is not just Qin Qian and the other three, but all the otherworld lords under my command. This is the result of discussions between me and Ariel and other subordinates."
"In this way, apart from the material incentives, I, who is above the royal power, have naturally become the de facto leader of the lords, further improving the loyalty and sense of belonging of the lords, while the lords have received He has obtained the privileges and honors of the nobility and is respected by the local common people."
"Not only that, those battle-talented lords whose territories are near major fortresses, if they perform well, can even become real army commanders. Not only can they control their own subordinates, but they can also command other indigenous soldiers. This
It will also further increase the enthusiasm of combat lords."
"Of course, the promotion mechanism for lords is also extremely rigorous with clear rewards and punishments. Candidates for new nobles need to be recommended by Qin Qian and others according to the rules, and I will personally select them."
Lei Xiao nodded and signaled the three of them to get up, and then gave some instructions on what he had just thought. Then he left Tel Town with the three people saying goodbye and returned to the royal capital to rest.
After being silent all night under Ariel's careful care, Lei Xiao followed his usual routine in the morning of the next morning, first finishing the matters regarding the territory, and then walked into Ice Stone City, preparing to go to the location of the Alchemy Square Tower, the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild.
"The Alchemy Square Tower, the headquarters of the Alchemist Guild, is completely different from the Glow City of the Temple of Light and the Pioneer City of the Mercenary Guild. It does not stand directly on the ground, but is located in an extremely hidden barrier space.
For ordinary people and even the royal families of various countries, the specific location is extremely mysterious."
"Only the top brass of the Alchemist Guild and some highly respected elite alchemists know the specific location. Even the invited guests are blindfolded. Of course, this does not include me."
In the command hall of Ice and Stone City, Lei Xiao nodded to the great sages headed by the three alchemy sages who were accompanying them, and said, "Then let me ask the old gentleman to show me the way."
"As you command, Your Highness."
The great sage with white beard and hair stroked his chest and saluted, and immediately pointed out the specific location of the alchemy square tower on the magic map on the giant sand table.
"Is it originally at the junction of the Baibu Mountains and the eastern part of the Holy Night Kingdom? It is quite close to Wangxing Town and the Forest of Two Moons where Shen Banxia is located. It is indeed an extremely hidden location."
Lei Xiao looked at the location pointed by the great sage, nodded to the blue-haired old man beside him and said: "Mr. Bing, let's set off now."
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, Bing Lao immediately started operating, with a dark blue streak passing through the rows of magic screens in the hall. When everything became clear again, a beautiful scene of mountains and clear waters appeared on the screen.
.
“It is indeed a place of outstanding people.”
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and immediately walked out of the command hall of Ice Stone City under the guidance of the three alchemy sages.
After passing through the newly renovated streets of Ice Stone City, Lei Xiao had just stepped out of the city gate when a familiar old figure appeared in front of him, it was Yoniel, the president of the Alchemist Guild.
Behind Yoniel, in addition to a row of old alchemists who also had white hair and beards, there were two large rows of alchemy puppets dressed as knights forming a welcoming formation, which looked very solemn.
Looking at the uniform and beautifully shaped alchemy puppets, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Unlike the Temple of Light and the Mercenary Guild, which have a large number of members, the alchemist is an extremely rare profession and naturally does not have as large a number of members as the former two.
Correspondingly, a large number of alchemy puppets supplemented the lack of combat power of the Alchemist Guild, making the overall strength of the Alchemist Guild comparable to the first two.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Alchemist puppet appears as a guard of honor.
"See Your Highness the Prince!"
Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, Yoniel's wrinkled cheeks were full of smiles, and he immediately led a group of old alchemists to greet him, all stroking their chests and saluting.
"Old president, we meet again."
Lei Xiao was naturally used to this kind of scene. He first got to know the other senior members of the Alchemist Guild under the introduction of the other party, and then while exchanging pleasantries, he strode towards the extremely mysterious Alchemy Square Tower under the guidance of the other party.
