As a dazzling light flashed by, Lei Xiao's vision became clear again.
He found that he and the powerful men under his command had returned to familiar territory.
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was standing at the door of the tall lord's mansion, raised his head slightly while looking at the bright twin moons embedded in the bright dark blue night.
While taking a deep breath of the fresh forest air brought by the cool night breeze and mixed with the smell of construction concrete, I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
This trip to Fanyin City can be said to be full of rewards.
First of all, in terms of connections, he not only conquered the third-level powerhouse Kelly, who is the daughter of the president of the Phytolacca Trade Association in Fanyin City.
Moreover, take the opportunity of providing hot auction items.
He also got acquainted with his father, Gale, who was also the president of the fourth level and a strong man of the fourth level, and further narrowed the relationship with the branches of the Phytolacca family.
This laid a solid foundation for Lin to ascend to the position of head of the Shangluc family soon after.
At the same time, he also got acquainted with Tina from the Blue Rose Knights, Ryan from the Broken Blade Knights, and Al, the fourth-level powerhouse who is the Lord of Fanyin City.
Especially the two young and promising knight captains who are in financial distress.
If properly recruited, the elite knights under his command can obviously become a force that cannot be ignored and play an important role at critical moments.
Of course, judging from the current situation, it is undoubtedly an extremely difficult task for Fanyin City Lord, a cunning old fox, to use it for his own purposes. He has to find a suitable opportunity and make another plan.
“In addition, the trip to the ruins of an unknown race in five days’ time should be an interesting adventure.
By then, I wonder what kind of treasures we will find and what kind of things we will encounter? Let Kelly confirm the specific time later."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao sniffed, looking at the half-moon like a hook in the night, and continued to think.
Secondly, in terms of items, through the first two auctions, we also came back with a full load.
Not only did he obtain a large number of functional first- and second-order magic potions, but he also obtained the currently in short supply of third-order leather armor and light armor, star-patterned fruits, which are important materials for refining star-patterned magic pills, and prepared fourth-order magical weapons that can be used as kitchen knives.
Moreover, I also got a 50 cubic meter storage ring, which was successfully upgraded to 100 pieces.
You can equip your main heroes in batches to further improve their tactics and combat effectiveness.
"The most important thing is that after upgrading, I also got a fifth-level [Frost Dragon Staff] and an extremely rare fourth-level magical skill scroll [Thunder Flash]!
However, because of this skill, you must master the flying technique to fully understand it.
Therefore, it is better to wait until the magic energy vortex reaches the third level before learning."
Overjoyed, under the dazzling sky full of stars, Lei Xiao straightened his clothes and fell into deep thought again.
Finally, about another gain from this trip to Fanyin City.
Naturally, this was the first time for me to have direct contact with a mysterious organization.
At the beginning, through the surveillance of Nanxing Nanyue.
We have obtained an extremely important clue.
That is the way for the powerful in the mysterious organization to verify each other's identities. It should be a special small trigger magic.
In addition, through some confusing words of knotweed.
This caused the mysterious organization's attention to be drawn back to the Leng Yan royal family to a certain extent, once again gaining a lot of development time for itself.
"In short, from the very beginning in front of the Gate of Immortality, Mutong, a powerful member of the mysterious organization, attempted to silence Su Ru and Su Mo.
This huge organization hidden in the dark has already entered our field of vision.
One day, I will make these people deeply realize how terrifying the alien lords they disdain and can kill at will can be."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao first took a deep breath of cool air to regain his composure.
Then he stood with his hands behind his hands, faced the subordinates surrounding him, and said with a smile: "Okay, everyone has worked hard all day today. Let's go back and rest early."
"Lord, this is the ancient box."
Immediately, Nan Yue's shy voice reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"Very good." Lei Xiao noticed after taking over this half-meter-square dark gray guy.
This weird box is much lighter than expected, but it also gives people an indescribable sense of weight, which is very magical.
Looking closely, one can see that under the silvery moonlight, the fine and wonderful textures all over its surface become clearer, reflecting a strange and dim light.
"Sure enough, the more I look at it, the more peculiar it becomes."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao's mind moved and he temporarily put it into the space bracelet.
Next, after sending off Lin, Fang Hai, Nan Xing and Nan Yue who returned to Kongqing Town.
Lei Xiao first walked around the territory and found that the construction and laying of city gates and battlements was still in progress in an orderly manner.
Moreover, with the efforts of seven second-tier elite squadrons in the territory.
The gaps between some of the circular forts and the circular forts have been filled with thick, polished stones.
The tops of these fortresses that make up the city wall are completely connected.
At the two entrances and exits of the territory, the large frame of the city gate has also begun to take shape.
"Not bad, not bad. Once the city walls and gates are completely constructed, and a large number of magic cannons are deployed, the territory's defense capabilities will obviously be improved to an epic level!
A hidden and strong fortress in the forest is about to be built!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao took a big step and came to the southeast corner of the territory, where the new kitchen was to be built.
After a whole day of hard work by Rudy and other strong chefs, as well as a squadron of farmers, there is already a large outline of a stone house here.
"Very good. This way, we can build a few more canteens later so that the soldiers no longer have to eat and sleep in the open.
It would be good to use the [Half-Elf Arched Stone House], after all, it is large enough for two squadrons of soldiers to dine inside at the same time."
After making up his mind, after inspecting the general territory, Lei Xiao couldn't wait to return to the hall of the mansion.
And by reading the words, he called on the main strong men on his side such as Huzhang, Chaoyan, Xueya, and Faxia, as well as the squadron leaders of each squadron, to study the ancient box together.
A moment later, when all the subordinates looked closely at the ancient box that was quietly placed there on the wooden table in front of them, exuding a strange brilliance, they all couldn't help but widen their eyes and exclaimed in wonder.
Lei Xiao first opened the attribute bar of the Ancient Box.
[Name: Eternal Night Magic Box]
[Ethnicity:???]
【effect:???】
[Remarks: An ancient item disappeared along with a certain lost mysterious race. Its background and function are unknown, but what is confirmed is that this item is not dangerous in any way. 】
"Is it true that there are no clues?"
Seeing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly, and then showed a thoughtful expression: "However, I finally know that its name is [Eternal Night Magic Box].
Could this name be an important clue?"
After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao, who was still clueless, looked at the subordinates around him and asked, "What do you think about this thing?"
On the other side, the subordinates looked at each other for a moment.
Xue Ya, who had long, waist-length hair and a fair face, stepped forward, bowed slightly and said, "Go back to the lord.
My major at the Noble Academy of the Royal Capital is the archeology of alien remains, but I have never seen any introduction or documentary record of this kind of box."
Immediately, Fa Xia, who was standing by, scratched his short, rough hair, walked out, and said with a confused look on his face: "Lord Qi, my specialty is the development of alien magic.
I have never seen such strange lines before, and I cannot tell whether these lines are special magic lines."
After Faxia finished speaking, Chaoyan walked out with small steps, blinked his big eyes and said: "Lord, my subordinates have never learned the introduction of this thing in the magic tower.
However, the cake in the storage ring does have..."
"Go back!" He curled his lips helplessly, Lei Xiao turned around and said to Bai Zhi and Bai Wei, who were half elves and werewolves, "I wonder if you have any clues?"
"Back to Lord, at that time, in the closed barrier, reading was one of the after-school activities of our younger generation of half-elves. When I was young, my subordinates had already read all the documents and history of our Yuebai clan.
It is absolutely certain that there is no record of this."
Hearing this, Bai Zhi, who had a quiver tied on her thigh, smoothed her long hair and exposed her pointed ears, shook her head and said.
"Back to the lord, there is no such record in the stories passed down from generation to generation of our Xueyu clan."
Bai Wei on the side frowned slightly, drooped her furry white ears, and then spoke.
Pouring his lips slightly, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Hu Zhi and several squadron commanders on the side, but he still didn't get any valuable clues.
"That's all, in short, what is certain at present is that this thing is very valuable.
Otherwise, the mysterious organization would not be able to take action again, and even send fifth-level experts to snatch it."
Realizing this, Lei Xiao took steps towards the throne at the top.
While continuing to think: "In addition, maybe Jiang Li, the half-elf ancestor, will have some clues, but it is still unknown. I will ask her when this guy comes back."
After sitting down on the throne, Lei Xiao said to his subordinates in the lower position: "Well, both the strong men who went out with me to do things today and the strong men who stayed in the territory performed very well.
It's getting late, so everyone should gather up the team and go back to rest. I'll call on those who have been named to stay."
Just like that, when everyone dispersed, Lei Xiao first called Gang Song, the captain of the peasant squadron, to his side.
"Currently, the weakest ordinary farmers in the peasant squadron have reached the first-level nine-star level. It is time for them to collectively advance to the second-level level."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao waved his hand.
Combine 80 Qi Condensing Pills, 80 sets of third-level [Jungle Hunter Bow] and third-level [Hunter Leather Armor], half and half of 30 first-level and second-level healing potions, and a large number of arrows, together with a storage
The ring was also given to Gang Song.
"In this way, all my direct subordinates are above the second level in strength, and all of them have equipment above the third level!"
Thinking of this, he waved his thanks to Gang Song to leave, and Lei Xiao called the other commanders of the second-tier squadrons to him.
They are Rogge from the heavy guard squadron, Bai Zhi from the half-elf archer squadron, Orson from the werewolf warrior squadron, Runo and Russ from the two heavy shield archer squadrons, Dean and Fu from the two shadow squadrons.
Lan, seven people in total.
Each person was also given a storage ring, as well as 15 first-level healing potions and 15 second-level healing potions as backup.
Moreover, it was also given to Runo, Russ, Dean, and Fran who are currently in the second-order nine-star stage.
As well as the main subordinates, Chaoyan, Ah Bing, Bai Zhi, and Bai Wei, who have not yet reached the third-order nine-star level, there are eight people in total, each of whom will receive a rose energy gathering pill.
"Thank you very much, Lord Lord. I am willing to go through fire and water for Lord Lord!"
Amid the excited thanks from all the commanders, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
At this point, two squadrons of great swordsmen and a squadron of magicians are added that are not yet in place.
Currently, all ten of our elite second-tier squadrons and the main commanders have reached the third-tier level.
"In short, if this is the case, the territory's comprehensive strength will obviously rise to a new level again!"
Overjoyed, Lei Xiao took ten of the newly refined Qi Condensing Pills from the hands of Xue Ya and Fa Xia, and successfully upgraded them into 500 Qi Condensing Pills and 5 Rose Energy Condensing Pills.
At the same time, the two women were also given two new storage rings.
"Thank you very much, Lord Lord!"
On the other side, after receiving the storage ring handed over by Lei Xiao, the expressions of surprise on the pretty faces of Xue Ya and Faxia were beyond words.
As Lengyan nobles and heirs to the earl family, they already own a storage ring, so naturally they know the value of this rare item best!
That's it, until all the subordinates leave.
Lei Xiao's eyes fell on the square object named [Eternal Night Magic Box] on the table, and he couldn't help but look thoughtful.
"By the way, when I went to Fanyin City this time, I also met the down-and-out bard Old Nick, which further confirmed the possibility of an imminent catastrophe.
This is also the third time I have heard this word since Zhusha from the Magic Tower and Shen Banxia's subordinate divination."
At this time, Lei Xiao made himself a cup of tea while continuing to think: "Although the other party is currently in a crazy state, this clue is very important."
Looking at the steaming white porcelain tea cup in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded slightly: "Fortunately, this person has been properly placed by Kelly. I will have to ask Kelly to send someone to take care of him carefully later.
Maybe, we can really get some key clues from the other party in the future, but we still don’t know.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao focused his attention on the Evernight Magic Box in front of him again, and continued to think: "I remember hearing what the old water magician pretending to be an old auctioneer said.
This box most likely comes from the blank era three thousand years ago.
And when we encountered the mysterious organization before.
Whether it is the ancient battlefield ruins or the elven ruins near Shen Banxia's territory, they all seem to be related to the blank era three thousand years ago.
It can be seen from this that if nothing unexpected happens.
The door to immortality that has not yet been opened should also come from that era.
It seems that the purpose of the mysterious organization has begun to surface."
Realizing this, Lei Xiao took a sip of the steaming fragrant tea and continued to think with his eyebrows: "Speaking of which, these three thousand years ago.
What happened that caused all races on the entire continent to suddenly experience a weird period of historical rift?
Is this related to the upcoming catastrophe?
If nothing else, there must be some potential connection."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao put down his tea cup, knitted his brows, and then said, "That's all, the clues in hand are still very limited, and no further inferences can be made.
Furthermore, the goal at this stage is still to accumulate strength and focus on the proud Princess Ariel.
After all, there are still two powerful opponents standing in front of us, the mysterious organization and the Leng Yan royal family.
I believe it won’t take long, as the territory becomes stronger, more new clues will naturally be obtained.”
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Lei Xiao stood up from the throne and strolled over to the Eternal Night Magic Box.
While stroking the cracked surface that was a bit harsh but extremely smooth, Lei Xiao couldn't help but look thoughtful: "Although the use of this thing is unknown.
But the more I look at the texture on it, the more I feel it is very similar to the texture on the miracle building. Will there be any reaction between the two?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and put the Eternal Night Magic Box into the space bracelet with a wave of his hand.
Then he strode out, opened the door of the mansion, and walked towards the miracle building on the north side of the territory.
At this time, the night was already deep, and most of the subordinates had returned to their camps to rest.
In sight, there were only groups of subordinates patrolling and standing guard, either on the city wall or advancing in the territory, making bursts of neat footsteps and the sound of armor clashing.
After a while, he arrived in front of the guardian defense agency that was shining with dark blue cold light.
Lei Xiao's mind moved, and the square box of eternal night appeared on the palm of his hand again.
He was seen holding the box while continuing to move forward, walking straight into the interior of the Guardian's defense mechanism.
The moment he entered this huge building, Lei Xiao was surprised to find.
The dark gray surface of the Box of Eternal Night in his hand actually began to emit a faint dark blue cold light.
"Did you really respond?"
Seeing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise and joy.
Without hesitation, he quickened his pace and continued walking towards the center where rows of charging bases were lined.
Just like that, when Lei Xiao came to the center of the hall, a sudden reminder sounded in his ears.
