Walking into the bright and clean hall of the lord's mansion, Lei Xiao passed through the side of the hall and went up the spiral staircase to the lord's office on the third floor.
Next, after transferring the eleven giant Titan battle axes that took up more space to the wooden storage boxes.
Lei Xiao opened the territory interface and began to prepare to receive today's recruitment order.
“Currently, you can receive 3 second-level recruitment orders, or 18 first-level recruitment orders.
My next plan is to conquer the two fourth-level powerhouses, City Lord Orr and Gale, as well as Tina and Ryan, the two independent knight captains.
Of course, we still have to look for opportunities to conquer Ariel, the fifth princess of Leng Yan.
After all, the two generals of the kingdom beside her have already been successfully conquered, all they need is a suitable opportunity."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and directly received 3 second-level recruitment orders.
Because when upgrading, there is only a small possibility that the second-level recruitment order will cross the third level and directly reach the fourth level.
Therefore, without being in a hurry to use it at this stage, Lei Xiao naturally decided to accumulate some first.
In this way, the three unupgraded second-level recruitment orders were temporarily recovered from the space bracelet.
After some operations, Lei Xiao upgraded and disassembled a large number of exquisite sickles made yesterday.
In the end, 1,200 units of copper ingots were successfully obtained, as well as a large amount of copper ore and wood derived from it.
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao walked to the manufacturing magic array and expertly arranged today's manufacturing sequence.
After completing all of this, Lei Xiao returned to the wooden storage box, with a thoughtful look on his face.
He thought to himself: "By the way, tonight we need to upgrade the lord mansions for Su Ru, Su Mo, Sun Qi, Zhao Lu and Zhang Shan from level 3 to level 5."
After reaching level 5 in the mansion, you can unlock exquisite-level crafting tools.
In this way, my daily output of copper and iron ingots will increase to 7,200 units, which is undoubtedly enough at this stage."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao opened the storage wooden box interface and checked the current quantity of three basic resources and copper-iron ore in the territory.
While he was lost in thought again: "The lord's mansion has been upgraded from level 3 to level 4.
A total of 18,000 units of wood, 9,000 units of thatch, 4,500 units of stone, 500 units of iron ore, and 500 units of copper ore are required.
To upgrade from level 4 to level 5, you need 50,000 units of wood, 30,000 units of thatch, 30,000 units of stone, 1,500 units of iron ore, and 1,500 units of copper ore.
In other words, if calculated together, the five lords' mansions have been upgraded from level 3 to level 5.
A total of 340,000 units of wood, 195,000 units of thatch, 172,500 units of stone, 10,000 units of iron ore and 10,000 units of copper ore need to be prepared.”
After calculating this point, after some inspection, Lei Xiao noticed.
At this stage, the territory has a total of 1.37 million units of timber, 3.11 million units of thatch, 1.25 million units of stone, 20,000 units of iron ore, and 1.26 million units of copper ore.
"The resources are indeed sufficient, but to upgrade the guardian defense mechanism, a large amount of iron ore is also needed.
In addition, we have been working backwards to manufacture copper ingots, has the iron ore reserves become insufficient?"
Noticing this, Lei Xiao checked the current first-level weapon reserves and found that the largest number of iron spears was close to 240,000.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and started to decompose it directly.
[You disassembled 200,000 pieces of "First-level Weapon: Iron Spear" and obtained iron ore x400,000! 】
"Not bad, not bad. This way, there will be plenty of iron ore." Hearing the familiar prompt, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, his eyes lit up, as if he realized something, and he murmured to himself: "That's right.
Yesterday in the old mining area of Gelin City, we harvested a lot of obsidian and dark magic crystals from Su Ru and others, which is enough to upgrade the guardian defense mechanism to another level!"
Thinking of this, after gathering all the resources needed for the upgrade, Lei Xiao left the lord's office directly.
Following the spiral staircase all the way down, it didn't take long for Lei Xiao, who was walking as fast as flying, to come back to the sunny outside world.
Looking in the direction of the city gate and city wall, there are still wandering figures and a busy scene.
Lei Xiao took another step and arrived in front of the Guardian Defense Agency.
Next, we walked into the interior of the miraculous building and after careful inspection, we found that there was nothing subordinate inside.
Lei Xiao, who walked out again, waved his hand, piled a large number of resources into several hills, and directly pressed the upgrade button.
The next second, the long-lost prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[You consumed stone x200000, iron ore x150000, obsidian x12000, and black magic crystal x800]
[The Guardian Defense Agency is being upgraded to Lv5, please wait...]
Just like that, with the familiar colorful light curtain rising, the entire Guardian defense mechanism was completely enveloped in it.
At this time, even though the two suns above our heads were shining brightly.
But when the miracle building was upgraded, the colorful light it brought was still very conspicuous, and it immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding subordinates.
Of course, this also includes Hong Ye, Chao Yan and Bai Wei who are wandering around the territory.
Needless to say, Chaoyan and Bai Wei have seen such miraculous scenes many times.
But Hongye, who first arrived at the territory, showed an expression of surprise.
It seemed that even she, a dragon, had seen the scene when the miracle building was being upgraded for the first time.
Moreover, what shocked her even more was that there were actually three miraculous buildings standing together here!
You know, she has never heard of such a grand scene, let alone seeing it!
On the other side, Lei Xiao noticed.
Next to Hong Ye, whose red lips were slightly open, there was a petite figure showing the same shocked expression.
She was seen wearing a set of cyan magic robes and a light blue wide hairband on her head. It was none other than the illusionist Xiaoya who had also just arrived in the territory.
Smiling at the two of them, and listening to the sound of automatic construction coming from within the light curtain, Lei Xiao took another step and started spinning around in the territory.
After some inspection, Lei Xiao discovered.
The gate towers on the east and west sides of the territory have been completely integrated with the surrounding city walls, and the city gates have also been installed.
This giant metal gate also comes with a small metal suspension bridge as a double guarantee.
After it is lowered, it just covers the trench outside the territory, and when it is raised, it blocks the passage between the territory and the outside world. It can be said to be perfect.
Currently, Rogge, Russ, Runo and others are leading the soldiers to carry out final debugging and repair work.
The construction of the battlements and forts on the city wall has also been completed, and the two commanders Bai Zhi and Aosen are leading the final repair work.
As for the large canteen in the territory, it has also entered the final stage, and it seems that it will be completed today.
"In this way, the entire defense level of the territory will undoubtedly rise to a new level!"
Realizing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Next, Lei Xiao returned to the shining guardian defense mechanism and discovered it.
At this time, the light curtain shrouded by the guardian defense mechanism and the sound of automatic construction began to weaken.
After a while, the long-lost reminder sounded again.
[Congratulations, your guardian defense mechanism has been upgraded to Lv: 6! 】
Just like this, when the colorful light curtain gradually melted into the surrounding air until it completely disappeared, Lei Xiao noticed.
The upgraded guardian defense mechanism is obviously much larger than before.
Moreover, nearly two-thirds of the walls have been transformed into all-metal structures.
Coupled with the angular octagonal shape, it looks extremely sturdy.
The strange metal patterns embedded on the surface have become deeper and deeper, emitting a faint dark blue cold light.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then opened the property bar of the building.
[Guardian Defense Agency Lv: 6]
[Owner: Lei Xiao "ID: 0013076067"]
[Number of Earth Guardians: 24/24]
[Number of Sky Guardians: 8/8]
[Building Special Effect 1: Guardian Charge Level 6 "Can charge the guardian of the earth (sky), moderately shortening the charging time"]
[Building special effect 2: Guardian creation level 6 "If the guardian of the earth (sky) is destroyed, a new guardian of the earth (sky) can be created (CD: 7h)"]
[Building special effect three: Guardian optimization lv6 "When the guardian of the earth (sky) acts, energy consumption is reduced by 22%"]
[Materials required for upgrade: iron ore x300000, obsidian x20000, black magic crystal x1500]
"Compared with before, the number of Earth Guardians and Sky Guardians has not changed. The effect of the upgrade is naturally self-evident."
After closing the building's attribute bar, Lei Xiao's mind moved.
In the blink of an eye, 24 Earth Guardians and 2 Sky Guardians formed a standard rectangular formation and stood neatly in front of him.
The next second, as expected, streaks of dark blue light rose from the soles of these high-level demon puppets until they passed through their entire bodies.
Immediately afterwards, energy fluctuations that were obviously much stronger than before burst out from the bodies of the demon puppets, causing the surrounding flowers and plants to tremble.
Seeing this, Lei Xiao randomly opened the attribute bar of an Earth Guardian.
[Name: Guardian of the Earth δ]
[Occupation: Demon Breaking Warrior]
[Level: Level 3, Five Stars]
[Energy:95%]
[Skill 1: Horizontal slash type "Active" (small range physical group attack)]
[Skill 2: Fortress posture "Active" (significantly improves own defense, unable to move)]
"Whether it is the guardian of the earth or the guardian of the sky, have they all been promoted to the level of three-level and five-star senior experts?"
After some inspections, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said happily in his heart: "According to this situation, continue to develop.
As long as the guardian defense mechanism is upgraded to another three levels, I am afraid that all these guardians will be promoted to the fourth level!
By then, the strength of the territory will undoubtedly be greatly improved!"
In his excitement, Lei Xiao's eyes moved and fell on the temple building nearby.
He murmured to himself in his heart: "As for the Bright Healing Center, after conquering the Grand Duke Bolun and Celia of the Mountain Crystal.
With the full-scale mining of white jade ore, it will surely be possible to upgrade soon.
In other words, the next focus will be on the materials needed for the Tower of Vision, the Wind Spirit Stone and the Blue Moon Stone."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao casually re-defended the Earth Guardian within the territory, and waved to Xiaoya on the side, gesturing for her to follow him.
In this way, Lei Xiao returned to the lord's mansion and sat on the throne in the hall again. He nodded to the young cook illusionist and said, "Xiaoya, are you still adapting to life in the territory?"
"Back to my lord, the life in the territory is better than I imagined. I also saw many things that I didn't dare to think of before!"
On the other side, Xiaoya nodded excitedly and responded with a cheerful face. Apparently, she had not fully recovered from the shock of witnessing the upgrade of the miracle building just now.
"That's good." Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and the pupil of phantom light he had obtained in Shanjing Principality appeared on his palm.
Signaling Xiaoya to come forward, Lei Xiao immediately explained: "This storage ring not only has 100 cubic meters of storage space, but also has the effect of enhancing illusions, which is exactly what you need.
In the future, I hope your illusions can bring an important effect to the territory that cannot be ignored."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and handed over the ring.
"Thank you very much, Lord! My subordinates will do their best!"
Hearing this, she carefully took the precious items handed over by Lei Xiao. The joy on Xiaoya's face was beyond words, and she saluted Lei Xiao repeatedly.
There is no doubt that if this happened in the past, even if she worked all her life, she would not be able to obtain such a priceless item!
"Get up, no need to be polite." On the other side, while standing up to help Xiaoya up, Lei Xiao immediately opened the opponent's attribute bar.
[Name: Liya]
[Occupation: Junior Illusionist]
[Level: Level 2 Nine Stars]
[Loyalty: 100]
[Skill 1: Flower in the Mirror "Active" (opens the illusion field, which can reflect everything in the territory, causing people to have illusions)]
[Skill 2: Moon in the Water "Active" (opens the illusion field, can compile primary illusions, has miraculous effects on targets with second-level nine stars and below)]
[Skill 3: Illusion Mastery "Passive" (when using illusion, slightly increases the illusion effect)]
After closing the opponent's attribute bar, Lei Xiao's heart moved slightly again, and nine small and exquisite brocade boxes appeared on the table next to him.
"Xiaoya, here are nine third-level rose energy-gathering pills. As long as you practice them on time every day, they are enough for you to reach the peak level of the third-level nine-star.
During this period of time, I will not arrange any work for you, you only need to study hard on illusions."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly at the cook and illusionist in front of him, and spoke again.
On the other side, looking at the pile of magic potions surrounded by the fragrant fragrance in front of her, a look of surprise once again appeared on Xiaoya's fair face.
