Everyone on our side, Princess Ariel and others, held a welcome banquet that everyone was very satisfied with.
During this process, Lei Xiao naturally would not focus entirely on the sumptuous food.
Instead, as the city lord, he used a half-threat and half-discussion tone to once again make three rules to Princess Ariel and her party, telling them that without permission.
You can only move around in the castle, gardens and gardens within the palace of the city lord, and are not allowed to leave this area without permission.
And, except for the personal maid and the two kingdom generals.
The two squadrons of personal guards under his command, as well as other accompanying personnel, are also prohibited from leaving the confines of the barracks without authorization.
As for the security work of the city lord's palace and surrounding areas, it is all handled by our own elite soldiers.
On the other side, although Ariel was a little reluctant, under Lei Xiao's coercion, she finally had no choice but to compromise.
However, the only thing that left Lei Xiao speechless was that the princess's appetite was too picky.
Although we have hired the best chefs, bakers and bartenders in Qingzhen.
But the other party only used an understatement of "not bad" to describe it. This was still based on the fear that Lei Xiao would use this to make trouble.
"But it's no wonder. After all, the other party is a member of the royal family and has the best chef in the entire Cold Flame Kingdom. He is naturally a bit more tricky when it comes to food."
Looking at the back of Princess Ariel not far away, Lei Xiao curled his lips helplessly, took another big bite of the crispy and greasy frosted leg of lamb in his hand, and then took a sip of the sweet yet sour Double Moon Fruit Wine.
.
In this way, when the banquet ended, the time had arrived in the warm afternoon without even realizing it.
"The number of copper ingots pushed back should be enough, since some of the combat power is currently dispersed in Kongqing Town.
Then, naturally, it's time to return to the territory and upgrade the mansion.
In this way, with a new population limit, our strength will undoubtedly be further strengthened!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao, who was a little excited, did not hesitate and arranged several maids to guide Princess Ariel and her party to go upstairs to rest.
Then he took the other subordinates except Ye Cang, Nan Xing, and Nan Yue and galloped straight towards the territory in the forest.
…
Just like that, after a lot of fun and excitement.
It didn't take long for our group to successfully return to their territory in the forest.
In this process, Lei Xiao, who had already become a third-level powerhouse, did not use a mount for the first time, but used his own strength to shuttle between the dense trees.
Although the speed is slower, it is just a good opportunity to further consolidate the use of energy in the body.
Especially when the energy in his body is wrapped around his feet, even on the turbulent river, after several attempts, Lei Xiao can almost walk on flat ground.
This feeling of floating on water can be described as very strange, and it really excited Lei Xiao for a long time.
Having said that, there was one important reason why Lei Xiao brought the magician squadron with him when he came this morning.
It's because the dozen second-level earth magicians in the team have the ability to build bridges.
This allowed the two second-level soldiers of the Great Swordsman Squadron to pass through the somewhat turbulent waters.
“I have to say that the river to the west of the territory is indeed a good natural barrier.
Coupled with the narrow water channel upstream, I really look forward to the day when it can come into play."
Thinking of this, he ordered his subordinates to disperse and rest, and Lei Xiao returned to the lord's mansion in the center of the territory.
Entering the room, Lei Xiao strode to the magic circle.
Next, after some skilled upgrade and decomposition operations.
There was a hint of joy on his face: "5800 units of iron ingots, 5100 units of copper ingots, and other basic materials are enough.
After such a long time, I can finally upgrade the Lord’s Mansion to level 7!
I wonder what kind of reward I will get this time?"
Overjoyed, Lei Xiao did not hesitate.
He went straight back outside, directed a group of earth guardians standing guard at the door to a distance, and pressed the upgrade button impatiently.
Immediately afterwards, the long-awaited reminder sounded as promised.
[You consumed stone x300000, wood x200000, thatch x120000, iron ingot x5000, copper ingot x5000]
[The Lord's Mansion is being upgraded to Lv6, please wait...]
At the same time, a brilliant rainbow-colored light curtain began to rise from the ground.
In an instant, the entire mansion was completely wrapped up.
Listening to the louder and louder sounds of automatic construction inside the light curtain.
An expression of anticipation suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face: "With so many resources consumed this time, the lord's mansion that has been upgraded to level 7 should have a lot of changes, right?"
Thinking of this, like before, Lei Xiao simply sat down not far from the light curtain and leaned on the legs of an earth guardian.
However, since the coverage area of the light curtain is obviously larger this time, the construction process will definitely take a lot longer.
Therefore, he did not wait, but opened the trading center.
"After the mansion was upgraded this time, the stone reserve only had tens of thousands of units left, but there was still a lot of wood and thatch.
Then take advantage of this time to replace some stones first."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao's eyes wandered and he started browsing the trading center interface.
After some detailed inspection, he noticed.
Compared to the past few days, currently, there are all kinds of common wild foods.
The exchange prices of fish, shrimp, fruits, and even World of Warcraft meat have stabilized and do not continue to decline.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao opened several chat channels one after another and discovered the topics that other lords were talking about.
In addition to the personal talent issue that still comes first.
The most remaining thing is to discuss how to reasonably allocate the hunting and production work to the farmers under his command.
"It's no wonder, although most of the lords now have the ability to hunt independently.
But correspondingly, the number of people is also increasing.
It seems that this is the reason why food prices have not dropped significantly."
Realizing this, Lei Xiao reopened the trading center.
It was found that the prices of iron ore and copper ore have also dropped, but the number of exchanges listed has increased.
"It can be seen from the chat channel that some lords with exploration talents have successively discovered many unexploited mineral veins.
The lords near some large mineral veins even organized joint excavation work, causing the daily ore mining volume to increase steadily.
It seems like there should already be lords who have been gradually upgraded to level 4 mansions, right?"
While thinking about it, Lei Xiao continued to check.
