"Sir, may I ask if you have any other instructions?"
In addition to being so excited, Hong Shi was about to hug Lei Xiao's thigh tightly, but a trace of doubt appeared on his dark green face.
"Let's find a quiet place to talk."
Glancing at the stunned Benson at the back of the team, Lei Xiao said with a faint smile.
"Yes, I understand."
Hongshi took a deep breath, calmed down his throbbing mood, then stepped out with his short green legs and began to lead the way again.
It didn't take long for the group of people to walk into a bright and spacious castle reception room neatly inlaid with crystal stones.
The area of this living room is extremely large, covering three to four hundred square meters. It is obviously an excellent venue for holding large banquets or dances.
"Hongshi, take these three things first."
I saw Lei Xiao strolling to the center of the living room, and his heart moved slightly.
A storage ring, a sparkling fourth-level wooden staff, and a brilliant fourth-level brown robe appeared on the palm of his hand, and were handed to the other party.
Needless to say, the storage ring [Eye of the Holy Fall] is a standard accessory for the main subordinates.
And that fourth-level wooden staff was upgraded from the trophies of the orcs during the previous annihilation battle at the pass.
Since this wooden staff named [Staff of Emerald Light] is a short staff, it is perfect for the short stature of Red Stone to use.
As for the brown robe, it is [The Robe of the King of Dharma]. Previously, Lei Xiao upgraded a total of 200 pieces from the black-robed man No. 9 and Orr. After giving 1 piece of red stone, there are currently 199 pieces left.
.
"Storage ring?! Fourth-level staff?!"
Tremblingly, he took the items handed over by Lei Xiao. Hong Shi's dark green face was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
You must know that the entire Kingdom of Thorns originally had only one fourth-level magic staff, which was used as a national-level magic weapon.
After all, with the forging technology and magic craftsmanship of the Kingdom of Thorns, at most it can only produce a small amount of second-level equipment and staffs.
However, this staff, which is the treasure of the country, was stolen by the Goblin Prime Minister not long ago and was secretly given to the Goblin Shaman, who was also at the fourth level of strength.
In order to increase the possibility of success when the latter sneaks into Luolong City to seize the secret treasure.
As a result, after the operation failed, the Goblin Great Shaman and the Goblin Prime Minister's other henchmen were all wiped out, and the staff was lost.
This was later learned by the Goblin Prime Minister using a secret induction method unique to Goblins.
Moreover, according to the furious Goblin Prime Minister, the reason for the failure of the operation seemed to be that they were robbed and killed by a group of mysterious men in black robes wearing strange white metal masks...
Of course, what Hongshi doesn't know is.
Behind the Goblin Shamans and the strong men of the mysterious organization, there is a third force, and that is Lei Xiao and Ariel.
The Goblin Town national-level staff named [Forest Green Staff] has already been upgraded to the fifth-level [Natural Staff] by Lei Xiao, and has become one of the current main battle weapons.
"Thank you very much, sir!"
Excited, Hongshi held these three shining pieces of equipment in his hands and knelt down again.
With the help of the lord, the Kingdom of Thorns not only got one more precious robe of the fourth level than before, but also got a storage ring and an invisibility cloak!
If this had been done before, it would undoubtedly have been something he would have never dared to think about!
"Get up quickly. For such a trivial matter, you won't need to kneel down anymore."
Lifting up the red stone in front of him again, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and said.
"You actually treat the fourth-level equipment that only high-ranking nobles and top powerhouses can afford, so trivializing it?!"
Seeing this scene, Benson on the side once again showed a dumbfounded expression on his pale face covered with scars.
You know, even as the Lord of Luolong City, he only uses a third-level fine chain hammer.
The most important thing is that in recent times.
The royal family's allocation is getting less and less, and agriculture, the only pillar industry of Luolong City, is obviously not enough to support the daily expenses of such a large army.
Noticing the look of surprise and envy cast by Benson, Lei Xiao smiled lightly.
Needless to say, the reason why Lei Xiao would show off his strength in front of him from time to time was naturally to prepare for conquering the opponent.
As you can imagine, this weird guy with a perverse personality obviously has some uncertainties.
Therefore, instead of directly proposing to conquer the other party, it is better to let the other party willingly take the initiative to surrender. Only in this way can everything be foolproof.
After all, he manages a fortress city and has a legion of soldiers under his command. Naturally, he knows best that there are tens of thousands of mouths waiting for food under his command.
Only when they have enough to eat and drink and no worries can soldiers maintain the strongest morale and combat effectiveness at all times.
"By the way, Red Stone, there are two standing legions and one reserve legion in the Kingdom of Thorns. What are the specific equipment conditions?"
When the Goblin Crown Prince's excitement gradually subsided, Lei Xiao frowned and asked again.
Although equipment of the second level and above has a certain degree of ductility, it can be slightly changed according to the size of the wearer, and the higher the level of the equipment, the higher the degree of scalability.
However, due to the size of the Goblin soldiers, there is a huge gap between them and the human soldiers.
Therefore, if you want to further improve the overall strength of the Kingdom of Thorns, you must naturally use local materials to directly upgrade the original Goblin equipment here.
"Sir, most of them are just ordinary first-level equipment. The weapons are mainly swords, axes, bows and spears, while the armors are mainly leather armor, supplemented by light armor."
Hong Shi bowed slightly and said, "As for the second-level elite forces, most of them are equipped with second-level plate armor and shields with more exquisite workmanship."
Having said this, Hong Shi's dark green face showed a trace of embarrassment again: "To be honest, sir, because the basic industry of goblins is extremely weak, it can only reach this level."
"It doesn't matter, you will soon have equipment that is more powerful than the ordinary human army."
He waved his hand slightly, and a mysterious smile appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
Hongshi, who was in front of him, and Benson, who was in the back row of the team, had not yet reacted to the meaning of Lei Xiao's words.
Lei Xiao waved his hand again, and 500 first-level healing potions and 500 second-level healing potions appeared in front of everyone.
All of a sudden, thousands of neatly arranged exquisite little brocade boxes emitted bursts of rich fragrance, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"Red Stone, here are 1,000 healing potions, 500 of each of the first and second levels. You can easily tell them apart based on the degree of smell."
Looking at the dumbfounded Goblin Crown Prince in front of him, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "From today on, the Kingdom of Thorns will be under my protection. I will treat everyone here like my own subordinates.
Goblin."
"These are regarded as my greeting gifts to my subjects. You can use them as you wish. If the quantity is exhausted, I will replenish it again."
Having said this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and then added: "As for the Qi Condensation Pill, I will send someone to deliver it tomorrow."
"On behalf of the subjects of the Kingdom of Thorns, I would like to thank you very much, sir!"
At this moment, Hongshi choked up several times because of excitement and gratitude, and almost didn't know what to say.
As an unpredictable man who could conquer even a human princess, the lord did not look down on and despise the Goblins like others, but instead treated them like his own subjects.
Moreover, he also took action to save his life, allowing the country of thorns, which was in dire straits, to escape from the clutches of the prime minister again.
Such kindness is not an exaggeration even if he is called the founding father of a country of thorns!
To be loyal to such a lord is undoubtedly his most correct choice and the greatest honor!
"There is no need to say anything. As long as I am here, you will eventually be able to realize your dream. From now on, these goblins you lead will hold their heads high in front of all races and will no longer need to be despised.
"
Gently patting Hong Shi's trembling shoulder, Lei Xiao nodded with a smile and continued: "Okay, now is the best time for you to consolidate your power. Go and prepare for the coronation ceremony. Let's talk here.
Just give it to me."
"As you command! Sir!"
Upon hearing this, Hongshi wiped away his tears of excitement with his sleeves, put away all the potions, and then bowed and left.
Seeing the Goblin Crown Prince leaving, he gently closed the door of the living room. Lei Xiao's eyes jumped and finally fell on Benson, the Lord of Luolong City.
Then he still maintained a smile and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Benson, for keeping you waiting for so long."
"Sir, who are you?"
Seeing Lei Xiao focusing on his side, Benson couldn't help but perked up, and immediately asked the question he had been wondering about for a long time: "Why are even the noble princess and the two kingdom generals willing to call you
Are you an "adult"?"
At this moment, the mind of "Skull-Crushing Madman" can be said to be full of question marks.
Whether it is the names of Ariel and others, the loyalty of the strange fifth-level powerhouse, or the terrifyingly huge financial resources and resources, it all shows that this calm young man is obviously no ordinary person.
If he were not the Viscount of Lengyan, he would still have a relatively good understanding of the royal family and aristocracy of the Lengyan Kingdom.
I'm afraid Benson will firmly believe that this young man is the supreme ruler of this vast land.
"I'm just an ordinary person struggling to survive, not worth mentioning."
I saw Lei Xiao nodding his head, and the Japanese knotweed on the side used its breath to completely isolate this place from the outside world, and responded with a smile.
"Lord of another world? Are you a lord of another world?!"
Looking at the tiger stick that exuded a terrifying aura but was extremely respectful to Lei Xiao, Benson was stunned for a moment, and a hint of disbelief suddenly appeared on his pale face.
Although in terms of attitude towards alien lords, he belongs to the relatively small coexistence faction.
However, in his mind, those alien lords who suddenly arrived were nothing more than a group of vulnerable frost sheep.
He is said to be a coexistence faction. In fact, the main reason is that he simply disdains being an enemy of the lords of other worlds. In other words, he believes that these incompetent guys have no qualifications to be his opponents.
After all, judging from the information obtained, most of these alien lords who suddenly arrived do not even have the most basic survival skills in the wild, which is simply ridiculous!
It is conceivable that it won't take long, even if I don't send troops to exterminate them, I am afraid that the low-level monsters in the barren mountains will be able to easily wipe out these guys.
However, the Lei Xiao in front of him was like a loud slap in the face, breaking Benson's bones and revealing a condescending and arrogant view of the world.
"This alien lord...isn't he too scary? He is simply more terrifying than any opponent I have encountered on the battlefield!"
"Moreover, even the aura it exudes is not much different from mine, which is simply unbelievable."
At this moment, Benson had no doubt that if given time, the achievements of this alien lord could easily surpass any king in the history of Leng Yan, even His Majesty the Hero King!
"I didn't expect that I would be saved by such an unpredictable and important person."
Thinking of this, even though Benson had an eccentric and bohemian personality, he couldn't help but feel uncontrollable gratitude in his heart.
"Ariel, tell the Lord of Luolong City the purpose of our trip."
Directly across from him, seeing that the time had come, Lei Xiao nodded to Princess Leng Yan.
"As you command, Lord."
Ariel stepped forward gracefully, bowed and responded.
In this way, through Ariel's description, Benson learned.
It turned out that this young big shot from another world came here specifically to look for him!
After listening to Ariel's words, Benson's heart was filled with huge waves.
Then, involuntarily, a feeling of honor and expectation arose.
Needless to say, I am honored because this young man, who can easily handle even princesses and fifth-level experts, actually came here to save me. How flattering this is!
And the expectation is...
"Thank you very much for your life-saving grace!"
Benson knelt down on one knee without hesitation and performed a standard royal salute to Lei Xiao.
Immediately afterwards, Benson, who was still kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but said: "I am willing to serve the Lord for the rest of my life and expand the territory for the Lord!"
"very good."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
It seemed that things were going very smoothly.
However, just when Lei Xiao was about to step forward and help him up first.
On the other side, I saw Benson slowly raising his head, showing a weird smile of anticipation, and said: "However, before that, I am also looking forward to something, and that is to invite you to have a one-on-one meeting with me.
The competition!"
"What?!"
Hearing the sound, before Lei Xiao could respond, all the subordinates could not help but have expressions of surprise on their faces.
