At this point, Lei Xiao did not continue the topic, but changed the topic: "Your Majesty the City Lord, I believe that in the near future, you will find out how right it is to choose to join the forces of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
."
At present, with the complicated power situation in the entire region, Lei Xiao will naturally not reveal all his family assets.
Although the possibility of Huo De's betrayal is almost zero, even if it is slim, Lei Xiao will not make fun of the lives of other subordinates everywhere.
After all, the opponents between himself and Ariel are three cold flame princes who stand at the pinnacle of power, as well as an enigmatic and mysterious organization.
Facing these opponents with many talented people under their command, if one step is ignored, it is very likely to be catastrophic.
At the same time, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Gelin City is the second city I went to after Kongqing Town.
At that time, I remember that when I saw the towering walls and bustling streets of Gelin City, I felt a sense of novelty as if a countryman had entered the city, and I was looking forward to when I would be able to own such a big city.
Time has passed and the city that I once longed for is now under my control.
"Understood, please rest assured, Your Excellency Ke Qing and Your Highness the Princess, even if only the city of Gelin is left, I am willing to advance and retreat with Your Excellency Ke Qing and Your Highness the Princess until the last moment of the battle!"
At this time, Hod looked solemn and said seriously: "This is my eternal oath as a knight."
"Very good, then let's talk about the second thing mentioned just now."
I saw Lei Xiao holding up the white porcelain tea cup. He looked at Ariel first, and then said, "That's about the next arrangements for Ge Lincheng."
After drinking the tea in the cup, Lei Xiao continued: "I need Your Excellency, who has always been neutral, to lower his stance towards the Second Prince and his group from now on, and to show a somewhat ambiguous attitude in a subtle way."
"Please rest assured, Sir, I know what to do."
On the other side, Hod also took a sip of tea and said knowingly: "Only in this way can we dispel the second prince's doubts and allow him to completely shift his attention to Kong Qingzhen."
"That's right, by then, as long as the opponent's main force is no longer within their sphere of influence and the city they belong to is empty, Gelin City and the other sharp blades I have planted will completely disintegrate all the influence of the second prince in this eastern region."
Gently putting down the teacup in his hand, Lei Xiao snapped his fingers and said with a faint smile.
Needless to say, the other sharp blades Lei Xiao was referring to were naturally the two independent knights, Blue Rose and Broken Blade.
"The series of preparations I made before have been completed perfectly. I have to find time to recruit Tina and Laien."
Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao moved his somewhat stiff body casually on his seat and said, "As for the third thing, it's about the minerals that are abundant in Gelin City..."
Next, Lei Xiao explained to Huo De the six main resources needed to upgrade the three miracle buildings, as well as the main resource stainless steel ingots needed to upgrade the lord's mansion.
Now that we have taken control of Gelin City, the capital of thousands of minerals, we should naturally make the best use of it.
Currently, among the three miracle buildings in Lei Xiao's territory, only the originally built Guardian Defense Mechanism is unique and has been upgraded to level 6, while the Light Healing Center and the last built Tower of Vision are both at level 2.
Among these three miracle buildings, the two main resources required for the upgrade of the Guardian's defense mechanism, the jet black magic crystal and obsidian, were both produced in the old mining area of Gelin City and excavated by Su Ru, Su Mo and other five people.
Mine.
After Lei Xiao easily upgraded all the mansions of these five lords to level 5.
As time goes by, the total number of subordinates under these five people has reached 1,000, which is more than enough to mine one mine.
The main resources required for upgrading Light Healing are White Jade Ore and Light Crystal.
Among them, not to mention light crystals, although they are expensive, they can still be purchased, and Lei Xiao has successively stored a lot of them.
White jade ore, a resource that is almost unproduced in the Lengyan region, happens to be produced in Shanjing Principality, which perfectly fills this gap.
"By the way, this morning, Celia, as the princess of the principality, has just delivered a batch of white jade ore. Let's pick it up when we return to Kongqing Town. If nothing goes wrong, the Bright Healing Center will undoubtedly be able to upgrade again.
Level one!"
"Although I hope that this type of miracle building for healing will never be used, but with the outbreak of all-out war, many things have become difficult to control."
"It is undeniable that the higher the level of the Bright Healing Center, the higher the recovery efficiency of the soldiers directly under my command, and they can re-form combat effectiveness faster. The role is obviously crucial."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think.
"Speaking of which, the most scarce items at present are the Wind Spirit Stone and Blue Moon Stone needed for the Tower of Vision."
"According to the latest information I have learned, these two rare ores have not been found in the Cold Flame Kingdom for more than a hundred years. I hope I can harvest something in Gelin City."
While Lei Xiao was thinking.
On the other side, Huo De took a stack of ore ledgers handed over by Li Xia. After careful inspection, he responded: "Your Excellency, Ke Qing, there is still a large reserve of light crystals in Gelin City. If you need it, Your Excellency Ke Qing,
If so, you can use it at any time."
"And the white jade ore is very scarce in the entire Lengyan area, and the same goes for the fine steel ore needed to refine the fine steel ingots. I'm sorry that I can't do anything for the time being."
Shaking his head helplessly at Lei Xiao, Huo De put down his account book and said with a smile: "As for the four types of black magic crystal, obsidian, wind spirit stone and blue moon stone.
Although there are currently no ore veins being produced, there are certain reserves in the secret ore warehouse in Gelin City, which must be able to help."
"oh?"
Lei Xiao's eyes lit up, he stood up from his seat, and said to Hodder: "Take us to have a look."
"As ordered, your Excellency and Your Highness the Princess are invited to go this way."
After Lei Xiao stood up, Huo De nodded without hesitation.
In this way, under the guidance of Hod, Richa and Reese.
The group of people went straight to the meeting hall in Gelin Castle, and then passed through the secret passage behind the throne in the hall and went deep into the underground of the main palace of Gelin City.
Walking in the bright underground corridor that was empty and spacious and studded with light crystal stones, Lei Xiao learned about it through Huo De's further explanation.
It turned out that this large castle, which served as the city lord's palace, was built above an ancient underground mine.
This underground warehouse was transformed from the original ancient underground mine.
"Don't worry, sir. Only I, as the city lord, have the power to inspect and control this secret mine warehouse. Therefore, as long as I don't make any noise, I won't be discovered by others."
While walking in the underground corridor, Hodder, who was walking at the front with a little staggering step, turned around and introduced again.
Since there was a railroad track on both sides and in the middle of the road that extended all the way to the depths of the corridor, Hodder, who was injured, was extra careful when looking back.
"That would be perfect."
Listening to the footsteps of everyone echoing in the empty corridor, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao told Hod the last thing that needed to be explained, the idea of mobilizing the permanent members of the Alchemist Guild in Gelin City to collectively refine potions.
"It turns out that Your Excellency Ke Qing and Her Royal Highness the Princess still have such a plan. Although I, as the Lord of Gelin City, have no direct jurisdiction over the Gelin City Alchemist Guild, I still understand that these people want to get into the alchemy platform every day.
Here, the guy who walks around with his nose pointed at people."
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Huo De was surprised and said: "If your Excellency, Keqing, can really provide a large amount of precious alchemist materials to the alchemist guild in Gelin City, then those arrogant guys who regard alchemy as life, are you?
I am absolutely willing to sit down and have a good talk with Your Excellency, Guest Minister."
After a pause, Hodder added: "After all, most of the precious alchemical materials are rare treasures from heaven and earth. Many senior alchemists even accidentally lost their own in search of a precious plant.
life."
Shaking his head helplessly, Hodder added: "It is not uncommon for alchemists to snatch and kill each other. Therefore, for every alchemist, rare alchemical materials are like rain after a long drought.
Generally, you can never have too much."
"Very good, then I will leave it to the city lord to contact the Alchemy Guild in this city."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao said: "I will take some time tomorrow afternoon or evening to come here to discuss this matter."
"I understand. Although Master Yatuo, who is currently the president, has been recalled to the capital by the royal family, I have a relatively good relationship with the vice-president who stayed behind. I will still give him this face."
At the front of the team, Hodder opened another metal door shining with the magic forbidden light.
Then he responded: "However, I still have to remind you, Your Excellency, that the guys who can stay in the Alchemy Guild are almost all the most fanatical alchemists. Not only are they arrogant, but they are also arrogant. If you want to gain the recognition of these guys, Ke Qing
You must be well prepared..."
"Don't worry, when the time comes, I will make all these proud men crawl at my feet."
With a dull smile, Lei Xiao changed the subject again and asked: "By the way, Your Excellency, City Lord, how much do you know about Luolong City?"
There is no doubt that according to the planned plan, Gelin City has been included in our own sphere of influence.
Then, the next target is naturally Luolong City.
"To be honest with you, Your Excellency, although the distance between Luolong City and Gelin City is not very far, I rarely interact with the Lord of Luolong City."
Hod shook his head helplessly and responded: "The Lord of Luolong City is nicknamed the Skull-Smashing Madman. He is extremely bloodthirsty and warlike, and his temper is extremely weird. His rough skin looks very similar to that of an orc."
, it is said that it seems to have some half-orc blood."
After a pause, Hodder added: "To be honest with you, your Excellency, that guy's strength, even though he only has half a foot to step into the peak level of the third level of the fourth level, he is a fourth-level two-star, the only one who feels that
A threatening third-level powerhouse."
"Oh? A third-level powerhouse can actually make a fourth-level powerhouse feel threatened?"
At this time, a look of curiosity appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
"Sir, regarding the Lord of Luolong City, I have had contact with him several times and learned something about him."
The old voice sounded, and the giant ax general Bert who followed behind said: "Twenty years ago, this guy was active on the battlefield of the extreme southern rainforest fortress with the strength of a third-level peak powerhouse.
He is also a candidate for the eighth general of the royal family."
"However, because in a large-scale encounter, he not only smashed the heads of thirty enemy guards with a chain hammer, but also killed several enemy commanders who were about to surrender, along with them
The servant’s head was also smashed, so he got the title of skull-crushing madman.”
After finishing speaking, Bert couldn't help but curled his lips slightly.
"So it turns out that he is actually a ruthless and ruthless character."
Hearing this, the curiosity on Lei Xiao's face became more and more obvious, and he murmured to himself: "It really makes people want to meet this "skull-crushing madman"."
"In short, Your Excellency Keqing, this person has a volatile temper and is definitely not a normal person. If Your Excellency Keqing goes to Luolong City, please be careful in dealing with him."
Nodding to Lei Xiao, Huo De added worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, I specialize in treating such unruly and weird guys."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao said with a faint smile.
While several people were talking, a group of people walked out of the long underground corridor and arrived at an extremely vast underground space.
Under the illumination of rows and rows of light crystals inlaid on the surrounding walls, Lei Xiao noticed.
Directly opposite him, a large number of neatly arranged giant stone gates appeared, and they were divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. They looked like a small honeycomb.
And the three extended railway tracks extend to every stone gate in the shortest route, and the layout is extremely decent.
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty the Princess, please wait here for a moment."
After guiding Lei Xiao and his group to a high position where they could overlook the entire scene, Hodder nodded to the Richardis siblings.
Immediately afterwards, the two Richards understood and immediately began to separate, opening the five doors of the honeycomb-shaped warehouse in front in sequence.
The first thing that caught Lei Xiao's eyes was a dazzling warehouse.
Needless to say, what is stored in it is naturally a large number of light crystals.
Immediately afterwards, the dark and gloomy obsidian warehouse, the dark magic crystal warehouse with golden light shining in the black, the wind spirit stone warehouse exuding light yellow brilliance, and the faint blue blue moon stone warehouse, all came one after another.
caught Lei Xiao's eyes.
At this time, even though Lei Xiao was on the high platform, the piles of various ores piled high inside the five gates were still clearly visible.
"Good guy, I have never seen so many scarce resources at once!"
This scene caused a look of uncontrollable joy to appear on Lei Xiao's face, and he murmured in his heart: "Now, the miracle building in the territory can be upgraded again!"
However, in the midst of ecstasy, Lei Xiao seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
