After Lei Xiao answered the call, Lin's crisp and respectful voice came over: "Lord, I'm disturbing your rest."
"It doesn't matter, you are all working hard, how can I sleep?"
Hearing the apology in Lin's words, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Lin, what happened?"
"Lord, my subordinates made an unexpected discovery just now when they were visiting the injured mercenaries in the city at the treatment center!"
Lin's excited voice reached Lei Xiao's ears: "It seems that my subordinates have found the descendants of the Loren royal family in the portrait!"
"oh?"
Lei Xiao's dark eyes, which were a little tired, lit up and he quickly asked: "Where is the other party?"
The reason why Lei Xiao was so excited was naturally because he accidentally arrived at the ruins of the capital city of Loren through the portal of the dimensional storm.
There, Fang Hai, as the territory's forging master, successfully met the family ancestor Xiao, who was accidentally petrified that year, and obtained the inheritance of his ancestors, advancing to the level of a fourth-level powerhouse.
The most important thing is that Lei Xiao also learned the specific location of the lost secret treasure of the Loren royal family from Lao Xiaoer, and the key to unlocking the thousand-year secret treasure is the descendant of the Loren royal family!
At that time, after leaving the ruins of the royal capital of Loren, Lei Xiao ordered Fang Hai to find the best painter in the city and accurately depict the girl who was a descendant of the royal family of Loren who looked familiar in the mirage.
.
They also simulated their appearance at various ages and distributed them to subordinates in various places. This is also the source of the portrait that Lin mentioned.
"The Kingdom of Loren has been destroyed for thousands of years. Finding the descendants of this lost kingdom is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I didn't expect that there would be clues so soon!"
"If this thousand-year-old secret treasure can be successfully opened, it will undoubtedly be a timely help for me, who is in urgent need of improvement in the entire area and is in urgent need of improvement!"
"After all, what I am thinking about now is not only how to continue to attack the city, but also how to hold on to the hard-won results. Just like what I just thought, the possibility of the opponent taking advantage of the situation and sneaking in cannot be ignored.
"
"At this stage, what I lack is not the golden dragon, nor the ordinary equipment below the third level, but various rare items, such as magic scrolls, skill scrolls, strength-enhancing potions, equipment above the fourth level, and even
Due to the large amount of rare mineral deposits, the secret treasure of a royal family can exactly meet these needs of mine!"
"With the blessing of these powerful items, the main strong men under my command will be able to cope with the more treacherous battlefield environment in the future. It will also allow me to use money-burning tactics with ease, and even directly influence the situation of a battle.
Winning or losing is not impossible."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this with joy, Lin's response rang out: "Lord Qi, based on the comparison of youth stages depicted in the portrait, I found that a female mercenary from Kongqing Town just matched the requirements.
All the features!”
After a pause, Lin added: "Her name is Shannai. According to her companions, the Lord saved her twice!"
"I remembered! No wonder that mirage looked so familiar at that time. It turned out to be her!"
Lei Xiao was stunned for a moment, then his dark eyes lit up and he suddenly said.
Then, Lei Xiao asked non-stop and urgently: "How is she doing now?"
"Back to Lord, according to Shannai's companions, in order to repay your kindness, Shannai worked extremely hard in the attack and defense of Kongqing Town. However, due to his limited strength, Shannai suffered serious injuries and is currently in a coma."
Lin's voice clearly revealed a bit of unbearability: "My subordinates have made her take a second-level healing potion, which has stabilized her injuries."
"So that's it..."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said seriously: "Lin, Shannai is extremely important to the territory. He will be taken to the city lord's palace in Kongqing Town immediately, and he will be cared for 24 hours a day. I will send Ye Cang there to try to get him back to health as soon as possible.
."
"As you command! Lord!"
Lin's clean response immediately rang out.
After turning off his words, Lei Xiao immediately called Ye Cang to the office, gave Ye Cang ten various types of third-level healing potions, and ordered him to cure Shannai's injury as soon as possible.
Watching Ye Cang bow and accept the order and leave, Lei Xiao, who was sitting behind the desk, couldn't help feeling a little emotional for a moment.
I didn't expect that the female mercenary I accidentally saved twice would be a descendant of the royal family of the lost Loren Kingdom. It was really disappointing.
"If the Kingdom of Loren still exists, she should be a noble and noble princess like Ariel, right?"
"But now, she is an ordinary mercenary at the lowest level. She has even died several times. Even when she was a mirage, she probably saved her life, right?"
Lei Xiao shook his head helplessly and thought to himself: "That's all, as long as one of them recovers, I will naturally be able to obtain the secret treasure of the Loren Kingdom, and during this period, I can stabilize the situation in the entire area first.
Come down."
While Lei Xiao was thinking this, he stood up from his seat and started walking towards the lord's suite.
Arriving at the familiar room, Lei Xiao simply washed up and then fell on the long-lost bed.
Since yesterday evening, Lei Xiao's nerves have been in a tense state. During this period, he also experienced a fierce battle with the man in black robe No. 21, and faced the powerful oppression of the fifth-level undead of the Nightmare Knight alone.
Feeling, now that I think about it, it still makes my heart tremble.
Now that he relaxed, Lei Xiao felt as if his whole body was falling apart, and it was difficult to even lift his arms.
"It was truly an unforgettable sleepless night."
The frightened Lei Xiao took a deep breath, and immediately his face was filled with relief.
No matter what, my efforts during this period have not been in vain. Everything is moving steadily towards the predetermined direction, and this step of my own will be a historic step!
This undoubtedly means that the many Great Xia alien lords he represents have moved from being ignored behind the scenes to the stage of this continent!
While happy, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frown.
This also means that, having already stood on the stage, oneself will receive unprecedented focus and attention, including from friends and, naturally, from enemies.
"Although we don't know how the three princes and the mysterious organization will react, there are many unexpected storms brewing ahead."
"But I believe that the road ahead will be long and difficult, and the journey is about to begin. As long as I keep going unswervingly, the door to the truth of this world will always open to me, right?"
"By then, I hope I can figure out all the truth about the arrival of our billion lords, and even the blank era. There is also a catastrophe that cannot be ignored."
Lei Xiao was lying on the bed with a solemn expression. He looked at the dark ceiling and fell into deep thought again.
"By the way, I remember that the Nightmare Knight mentioned three unfamiliar words: the relic of the old contract, the truth in the door, and the divine plan."
"Furthermore, he called both the [Eternal Night Magic Box] and the [Immortal Furnace] "Old Contract Relics", and these "Old Contract Relics" are exactly the keys to open the "Door". After opening the "Door"
, it seems that the "truth" can be obtained."
"But, what exactly do "door" and "truth" refer to? Why do they want to fight for it at all costs? Furthermore, judging from the words of the Nightmare Knight, it seems that there is more than one "door"..."
Lei Xiao's brows almost knitted together, but immediately relaxed again.
"That's all, combined with the previous situation, I have been able to draw new clues."
"That is the purpose of the mysterious organization in exploring various ancient ruins. It is to obtain the "relics of the old contract", and then use these holy objects to open the "door" and obtain the "truth". This is why they do it at all costs.
There is also a "holy plan" that needs to be completed. Being able to know this is already a great gain."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and showed a rather curious expression.
"Now, I already have "Eternal Night Magic Box", "Immortal Furnace", "Fenglan Wings", "Titan's Eyes", and "Starry Sky Key" in my hand, these "relics of the old contract",
But where exactly is the so-called ‘door’?”
"How should it be opened? Is there any danger when opening it? Is there any other price to pay? The most important thing is, has the mysterious organization ever opened it?"
While Lei Xiao was thinking this, he felt his head was dizzy and his breathing soon became steady.
…
When Lei Xiao opened his eyes again, the early morning light had already projected through the gaps in the curtains, forming several irregular light spots on the quilt.
After casually stretching, Lei Xiao got up from the bed in high spirits.
After being promoted to the fourth level of powerhouse, Lei Xiao's physical recovery ability has reached an extremely strong level, and yesterday's fatigue has long been wiped away.
As usual, Lei Xiao first practiced for a while, then washed up and walked out of the spacious and bright lord's suite neatly dressed.
Arriving at the lord's office, after conducting daily matters such as collecting recruitment orders, returning crystals, and reverse calculations, Lei Xiao directly decomposed the amount of alchemy materials required by the Gelin City Alchemist Guild for ten days, and passed it through Su Rusu Mo.
He was handed over to Lixia who stayed behind in Gelin City.
Now that the dust has basically settled in the entire area, there is no need for Lei Xiao to continue to be cautious in these small matters.
Originally, Lei Xiao was planning to decompose it directly for a month, but he was afraid that the old alchemists would be too excited and faint, so he was more cautious.
"By the way, there are three alchemist guilds in the eastern part of Lengyan. In addition to Gelin City, there are also Songluo City and Tiege Castle. We should stop by to contact them later."
"With three alchemist guilds serving me, my potion reserve will soon reach an extremely considerable amount."
Lei Xiao thought as he walked out of the lord's office.
Going down the spiral staircase and arriving at the lobby on the first floor of the mansion, Lei Xiao first listened to the old butler's order of dishes, and then pushed the door open and walked out.
Facing the bright sunshine, Lei Xiao noticed.
The subordinates of each squadron are still conducting morning exercises, looking nervous and orderly.
However, in order not to affect the injured soldiers, each squadron did not shout slogans and just carried out regular exercises silently.
Amidst the respectful greetings from his subordinates, Lei Xiao climbed up to the wall of the territory.
Just as Bai Zhi said, the area outside the moat was ablaze, and the once dense trees had disappeared, making the territory look quite outstanding.
Looking at the traces of blood red still remaining on the ground not far away, Lei Xiao nodded slightly. The night before, this place was surrounded by 30,000 troops. Today, they have disappeared. It really makes people feel like they are in another world.
After that, after having breakfast with his subordinates, Lei Xiao gathered all the main subordinates and commanders in the territory, held a brief meeting, ordered everyone to rest today, and asked Rudy to prepare a celebration banquet
preparation.
Of course, Jiang Li was also directly given 100 return crystals to transform and establish a teleportation network.
As for the subordinates outside the territory, because many people are still fighting abroad and have not returned, plus those captured cities, they are still in the process of stabilization.
So Lei Xiao simply asked about the current situation by reading.
In the process, by asking Ariel for her advice, Lei Xiao decided on the first thing he planned to do next according to what he had thought about before.
Most of the new cities currently occupied are based on the principle of matching new and old towns nearby, forming a one-for-two or one-for-three management model.
Among them, the territory of the original traditional nobles, Songluo City and other three cities, were handed over to Rose Marquis, Pentium City and other two cities were handed over to Randall, Velen City and other two cities were handed over to Mulder, and the rest
The five cities were handed over to Bolun, Xuan Yue, Ned, as well as two kingdom generals, Bert and Jubai respectively.
Of course, the two main subordinates, Bert and Jubai, only went to temporarily stabilize the city, and naturally they could not stay in that corner forever.
As for the territory of the new nobles, Tiege Castle and Copperlink City were handed over to the Tina sisters, Gray Rock City and Gerry City were handed over to Ryan, Ledo City and Sly City were handed over to Reese and Lixia, and Wangxing City and Style were handed over.
The town was given to Orr, and the remaining two were given to Benson.
As for the last town of Ter, Lei Xiao plans to hand it over to Qin Qian and others as agreed, and it is currently being managed by Orr's family elders.
After everything was arranged, it was almost noon, and Lei Xiao continued to discuss with Ariel the second thing in his next plan, the temporary capital.
Finally, through remote connection with the Rose Marquis, Orr, Benson, Bert and other leaders and subordinates, after soliciting everyone's opinions, the location was finally decided on Fanyin City, which is connected in all directions.
The infrastructure here is complete, the transportation is convenient, and there is a large airport. Moreover, this location is close to the hinterland of Lengyan and the gateway to Wangxing City, and it can deter opponents. It is undoubtedly the best choice.
After the second matter was discussed, Lei Xiao received another piece of news that made people laugh or cry.
