"I can't say they are completely different, I can only say they are completely unrelated."
Touching Chaoyan's head casually, Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then responded: "Maybe one day, you will see it with your own eyes, maybe the world I once lived in.
By then, I believe you will be surprised.”
The reason why Lei Xiao said this is not unfounded. After all, one billion lords can travel through time, so it does not rule out that there is a way to travel back.
Of course, for our current side, all this is still very far away.
After all, even the most basic survival is not yet fully guaranteed.
Moreover, our understanding of this magical alien world is still at a relatively rudimentary stage.
"Just like what I thought before, since we, one billion lords, can travel through time collectively.
So, there must be a huge secret hidden behind this.
And, if it’s not what I expected, it is obviously inextricably linked to the unknown things that happened in the blank era three thousand years ago.”
At this time, looking at the big eyes of the face in front of him that shone with expectation, Lei Xiao continued to think in his heart: "This can also be seen from Wang Xi, the pioneer traveler six hundred years ago.
After all, in addition to the territorial mansion, it also has prompt talents and an operation interface with some open functions.
Moreover, he himself once joked that compared to us billion lords, his operation interface is like a beta version.
It can be seen from this that the collective time travel of our billion lords will not be just an accident, but a meticulous and meticulous plan.
Of course, it is currently unknown who is the initiator and what the purpose is."
Lei Xiao took a sip of the steaming tea and fell into deep thought again: "In addition.
There is another thing that cannot be ignored, and that is the terrible catastrophe that may come at any time.
Moreover, according to Wang Xi, the catastrophe was just the prelude to a series of events.
The blank era in the past, the billions of lords traveling through today, the catastrophe in the future... How are all these connected?"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao put down the delicate white porcelain cup in his hand, and then briefly introduced what he knew about the catastrophe to the dragon woman next to him.
Then he asked: "Hongye, do you, the Red Dragon clan, have any other information about the unknown catastrophe?"
"Back to Lord, back then, my subordinates had indeed heard that members of the tribe who were good at divination had mentioned this matter."
Hongye stood up from his seat and responded respectfully: "However, because my subordinate was young at the time, I didn't take it to heart.
Now it seems that since several prophecies, including those of Caesar, point to the unknown catastrophe.
So, the authenticity of this matter is obviously beyond doubt.
From this, my subordinates believe that a catastrophe is absolutely inevitable and may happen at any time!"
"Absolutely inevitable?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao motioned for the other party to take a seat, while nodding thoughtfully, and recalled the scene of his conversation with Wang Xi at the place where his ancestors slept in Luolong City.
""That's right, it's you, Brother Lei."
Nodding slightly, Xi Sa's resolute face began to become more serious, and he said: "Not long ago, when you first entered this underground square, my talent was already told to me.
This catastrophe is inevitable, and you will most likely be the hope to solve this catastrophe!"
Recalling this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but smile and thought to himself: "It seems that the road to the future is indeed a long and arduous one.
After all, the guy added later, "In the final analysis, my talent is just an illustration of a possibility.
Maybe what appears in front of you in the end is not hope, but despair like an abyss."
All in all, whether it is hope or despair, as long as I continue to accumulate energy and lay a solid foundation for the future, everything will be solved.
Having said that, regarding the catastrophe that may come at any time, although I can only feel its terror and madness from the few words of the prophecy.
However, people are really curious about what will happen at that time.”
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao regained his energy, first picked up the teacup and drank the tea in one gulp.
Then, after a brief pause, he said to the president's daughter who was standing respectfully aside: "Kelly, how is old Nick doing lately?"
You can know this from what you have learned before.
This crazy old bard, as the only survivor who came back alive during an adventure, could only keep chanting the words "cataclysm" in his mouth.
It is undoubtedly our only clue about the catastrophe at this stage.
"Back to the lord, Old Nick is currently being placed at the Phytolacca Trade Fair, under personal care by a team of fighting maids trained by his subordinates.
If it returns to normal or reveals other information, my subordinates will definitely get the information as soon as possible and report it to the lord!"
On the other side, Kelly smiled confidently and responded immediately.
"Very good." Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao picked up the tea cup that A Bing had just filled. While feeling the warmth coming from the wall of the cup, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
This trip to the ruins of Fanyin City was a fruitful one.
Not only did he harvest the Titan clan’s sacred object [Eye of the Titan], a broken sixth-level battle axe, and ten broken fifth-level battle axes.
Moreover, the relationship with the two knight captains has obviously taken a big step forward.
"Currently, Tina from the Blue Rose Knights and Ryan from the Broken Blade Knights have basically reached a level where they can be conquered.
However, all the third-level recruitment orders in my hand have been used up.
In addition, the two of them are currently dealing with the aftermath of the ruins, so it is difficult for them to have a chance to be alone together.
Therefore, for the matter of subduing the two of them, it is better to find time later and go directly to the headquarters of the two knights.
It just so happens that I can check out the surrounding terrain."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao took another sip of tea and continued thinking: "Needless to say, Kelly's father, Gale, is the president.
Judging from the previous exploration of the ruins, they are essentially no different from our own subordinates. As long as there are extra fourth-level recruitment orders, they can be conquered."
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Lei Xiao pondered again and thought in his heart: "In addition, it is Al, the lord of Fanyin City, just like what I thought before.
If you can conquer it, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to taking control of Fanyin City, an important commercial city.
This point will play a vital role in the first small goal of controlling the entire eastern region of Leng Yan in the future.
After all, Fanyin City, as a commodity distribution center, controls nearly half of the food and daily necessities in the eastern region."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, paced slowly in the luxurious reception room, and fell into deep thought: "After the small display of strength in the ruins just now.
I'm afraid that City Lord Orr already has some respect for his own side in his heart, but this is far from enough if he wants to take advantage of the situation and conquer the other side.
Different from small cities such as Shuiyue City and Fenglong City, as one of the important towns in the eastern region of Lengyan, the importance of Fanyin City is self-evident.
It is conceivable that, besides me, the people in power in Leng Yan also understand this truth very well. Needless to say when the old king was personally in charge.
At this stage, in the fierce battle for power in the royal capital, the most critical thing is to find out whether Orr has fallen in favor of a certain prince.
Only by clarifying this point, plus the fact that Orr and myself share a common opponent, the mysterious organization, can I be confident of using this as an entry point to completely conquer it."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao walked up to Kelly, who was standing respectfully, and asked, "How much do you know about City Lord Orr?"
"Back to my lord, the city lord Orr holds the noble title of Marquis Lengyan, and this Fanyin City is his family's fiefdom."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Kelly smoothed her hair on her forehead and explained quickly.
Although this girl usually roams around Fanyin City and is fearless, she still seemed a little cramped when she was only a dozen centimeters away from Lei Xiao.
She lowered her head slightly and continued: "However, as far as my subordinates know.
It was ten years ago that Orr inherited the family business and became the Lord of Fanyin City. Before that, it seems that he had been working as a court magician in the Lengyan royal family."
"I see." Rubbing his chin thoughtfully, Lei Xiao asked again: "Is there any prince who usually gets closer to him?"
"Back to my lord, my subordinates will not know about this matter."
After thinking for a moment, Kelly shook her head slightly and said, "However, my subordinate grew up in Fanyin City and knows clearly.
Ten years ago, Fanyin City was far from as prosperous as it is now. It was the tax system that had not changed in Orr's ten years that made Fanyin City prosper day by day.
Moreover, Fanyin City's other policies and benefits are slightly higher than those in surrounding cities, and it is no different from ordinary residents, which can be said to be quite popular.
Otherwise, it is impossible for Fanyin City's treasury to be empty just because of hiring a few fourth-level strong men and other third-level strong men."
"I understand. It seems that Al is an outstanding person among the cold flame nobles."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said: "During the recent period, you must pay more attention to the developments of City Lord Al, and report to me in time if anything happens.
In particular, we must pay close attention to see if anyone from other princes enters or leaves Fanyin City."
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
Hearing this, Kelly clasped her fists with a sassy face and said, "My father has a good personal relationship with the city lord Orr. If you do this, it shouldn't be a problem!"
"Very good. This is very important for our future layout. We must keep it in mind."
Nodding slightly to Kelly, Lei Xiao continued: "In addition, it would be best to find out from the side what specific position Orr held in the Leng Yan royal family back then."
Having said this, Lei Xiao returned to his seat and began to think about the next action: "Today's recruitment order has not been received yet.
In addition, I haven’t returned to the territory for almost two days and one night, and there are still some matters that have not been dealt with, so let’s go back to the territory to recharge our batteries first.”
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao immediately recalled the two Nanxing and Nanyue sisters who were still in the ruins of the Titan clan by chanting words.
He also told Kelly that if there was any movement at the ruins, she should report it as soon as possible.
"Yes! Lord."
On the other side, Kelly bowed slightly, and then said: "Lord, lunch has been prepared for a long time. I will order the kitchen to heat it up."
In this way, when Nan Xing Nan Yue returned and his group had finished eating at the Phytolacca Trade Fair, Lei Xiao and his subordinates gathered again in the luxurious living room.
"Kelly, practice hard. I believe it won't be long before we meet again."
Nodding to the little pepper from Fanyin City in front of him, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a city-returning crystal appeared on his palm.
Because Lei Xiao had noticed it before.
Hong Ye, who signed the Dragon Blood Contract, is no different from other subordinates. They are all registered on the territory's population interface and can also use the chat function normally.
Therefore, naturally, like other subordinate and surrendered races, they are within the scope of application of the return crystal.
"Yes! Lord, don't worry, everything in Fanyin City will be left to my subordinates." Hearing this, Kelly took a few steps back and saluted Lei Xiao again.
Hearing this, he motioned to Huzhang, Hong Ye, Ye Cang, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Chao Yan, Bai Wei, A Ling and A Bing to gather around him. Lei Xiao then crushed the city return crystal in his hand.
The next second, along with a wave of energy, the familiar cyan light curtain rose, instantly covering all members of the team.
As time passed, and under Kelly's watch, the cyan light curtain surrounding the group of ten people began to become thicker.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao felt a bright light flash in front of him, making him almost unable to open his eyes, and his body suddenly became lighter.
After a while, when the sense of fulfillment from landing on the ground reappeared, Lei Xiao found that he had returned to familiar territory.
At this time, it was already halfway through the afternoon, and the temperature of the two suns overhead was obviously much milder, making people feel quite warm.
Looking at the familiar door of the lord's mansion in front of him, Lei Xiao took a deep breath of the fresh air that smelled of cement.
Then, first of all, he said to Erhanizi and the werewolf girl on the side: "Chaoyan, Bai Wei, you take Hongye for a walk in the territory first.
As for her residence, let’s arrange it in the vacant room next to yours.”
Speaking of this, looking at Hong Ye who came to the territory for the first time, looking around with curiosity, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said: "When the meeting is held, I will introduce you to other people in the territory."
"Yes! Lord!" Hearing this, the three of them clasped their fists together, and then left together.
After slightly nodding his head and ordering the other subordinates to disperse on the spot, Lei Xiao went straight back to the territory mansion.
Next, it is naturally time to deal with a series of unfinished matters.
