Chapter 580: under the castle
Speaking of which, Lei Xiao did not continue the topic, but changed the subject: "Your Excellency, I believe that in the near future, you will find out how correct it is to choose to join the power of Her Highness the Princess." .
At present, with the complex forces in the entire region, Lei Xiao will naturally not reveal the whole family.
Although the possibility of Huo De's betrayal is almost zero, even if it is very small, Lei Xiao will not just joke about the lives of other subordinates.
After all, the opponents of myself and Ariel are the three cold flame princes who stand at the pinnacle of power, and an unpredictable mysterious organization.
In the face of these capable opponents, as long as one step is negligent, what will usher in is very likely to be a catastrophe.
At the same time, Lei Xiao couldn't help feeling a little emotional again.
Songlin City was the second city he went to after Kongqing Town.
At that time, I remember that when I saw the towering city walls and bustling streets of Songlin City, I still had a sense of novelty as a countryman entering the city, looking forward to when I would be able to own such a big city.
Time has passed, and the city that I once yearned for is now under my control.
"Understood, please rest assured, Your Excellency Keqing and Your Highness the Princess, even if there is only one city left in Gelin, I am willing to advance and retreat with Your Excellency Keqing and Your Highness the Princess until the last moment of the battle!"
At this time, Huo De looked solemn, and said seriously: "This is my immortal oath as a knight."
"Very good, let's talk about the second thing just mentioned."
Lei Xiao, who was holding a white porcelain teacup, exchanged glances with Ariel first, and then said, "That's about the next arrangement of Gelincheng."
After drinking the tea in the cup, Lei Xiao continued: "I need Your Excellency, who was originally neutral. From now on, I will lower my stance towards the Second Prince's faction and show a slightly ambiguous attitude."
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, I know what to do."
On the other side, Huo De also took a sip of tea, and said knowingly: "Only in this way can the second prince's doubts be dispelled, and he can completely shift his attention to Kongqing Town."
"That's right. At that time, as long as the opponent's main force is not in the sphere of influence, leaving the city empty, the other sharp blades planted by Song Lincheng and me will completely disintegrate all the forces of the second prince in this eastern region."
Gently put down the teacup in his hand, Lei Xiao snapped his fingers and said with a faint smile.
Needless to say, the other sharp blades that 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 perfectly completed, and I have to find a time to take Tina and Ryan under my command."
Making up his mind, Lei Xiao moved his stiff body freely on the seat, and said, "As for the third matter, it is about the minerals that are abundant in Songlin City..."
Next, Lei Xiao explained to Hodder the six main resources needed to upgrade the three miracle buildings, as well as the main resource steel ingots needed to upgrade the lord's mansion.
Now that you have taken control of Gelin City, the capital of thousands of mines, then naturally you have to make the best use of it.
Currently, among the three miraculous buildings in Lei Xiao's territory, only the Guardian Defense Agency built at the beginning is unique and has been upgraded to level 6, while the Light Healing Institute and the Tower of Illusion built last are both level 2.
Among these three miraculous buildings, the two main resources required for the upgrade of the guardian's defense agencies, the black magic crystal and obsidian, were both produced in the old mining area of Songlin City, excavated by five people including Su Rusumo mine.
After Lei Xiao easily upgraded the mansions of the five lords to level 5.
With the passage of time, the total number of subordinates under the command of these five people has reached 1,000, which is naturally more than enough to mine a mine.
The main resources needed for the upgrade of Bright Healing are white jade ore and light spar.
Among them, light crystal stones needless to say, although they are expensive, they can still be purchased, and Lei Xiao has already stocked up a lot.
And white jade ore, a resource that is hardly produced in the Lengyan area, happened to be produced in the Shanjing Principality, which perfectly made up for this gap.
"By the way, this morning, Celia, the princess of the principality, just delivered a batch of white jade ore. You can pick it up when you return to Kongqing Town. If nothing happens, the Bright Healing Institute will undoubtedly be able to upgrade again. Level one!"
"Although this type of healing miracle building, I hope I will never use it, 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 Institute, the higher the recovery efficiency of the soldiers directly under my command, and the faster they can regain their combat effectiveness. The role is obviously crucial."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think.
"Having said that, the most scarce things at present are the Wind Spirit Stone and Blue Moon Stone needed by the Tower of Illusion."
"According to the latest information I have learned, these two rare ores have not been found in the territory of the Cold Flame Kingdom for more than a hundred years. I hope they can be harvested in Songlin City."
While Lei Xiao was thinking.
On the other side, Huo De took over a stack of ore ledgers from Lixia, and after a careful inspection, he responded: "Your Excellency, there are still a large amount of light spar in Songlin City, if you need it It can be used anytime.
"The white jade ore is rare in the entire Lengyan area, and the refined steel ore needed to refine the refined steel ingot is also the same. I'm sorry that I can't do anything for the time being."
Shaking his head helplessly at Lei Xiao, Huo De put down the account book and said with a smile: "As for the four kinds of black magic crystal, obsidian, wind spirit stone and blue moon stone.
Although there are no veins currently being produced, the secret mine warehouses in Songlin City have a certain amount of reserves, so they should be able to help. "
"oh?"
Lei Xiao's eyes lit up, and while standing up from his seat, he said to Huo De, "Take us to have a look."
"According to the order, please Your Excellency Keqing and Your Highness the Princess to go this way."
After Lei Xiao stood up, Huo De nodded without hesitation.
In this way, under the guidance of Huo De, Li Xia and Rees.
A group of people went straight to the meeting hall in the castle of Gelin, and then went deep into the underground of the palace of the Lord of Gelin through the secret passage behind the throne in the hall.
Walking in the empty and spacious underground corridor inlaid with light crystals, Lei Xiao learned about it through Hodder's further explanation.
It turned out that this large castle serving as the city lord's mansion was originally built above an ancient underground mine.
And this underground warehouse was transformed from the original ancient underground mine.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that this secret mine warehouse, only the owner of the city, has the power to inspect and control it. Therefore, as long as there is no movement, it will not be discovered by others."
In the process of advancing in the underground corridor, Huo De, who was walking in the front and stumbling a bit, turned his head and introduced again.
Since the two sides and the middle part of the road each have a railroad track that extends all the way to the depths of the corridor, Huo De, who was injured, was extra careful when he turned around.
"That would be all the better."
Listening to the sound of everyone's footsteps echoing in the empty corridor, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao told Huo De about the last thing that needed to be explained, about the idea of mobilizing the permanent members of the Alchemist Guild of Songlin City to collectively refine potions.
"It turns out that Your Excellency Keqing and Your Highness the Princess still have this kind of plan. Although, as the Lord of Songlin City, I don't have direct jurisdiction over the Alchemist Guild of Songlin City, I still understand it better. This group of people can't wait to get into the alchemy platform every day." Li, the guy who looks at people with his nostrils when he walks."
After listening to Lei Xiao's description, Huo De was very surprised and said: "If Your Excellency Ke Qing can really provide a large amount of precious alchemy materials for the Alchemist Guild in Songlin City, then those arrogant guys who regard alchemy as life I am absolutely willing to sit down and have a good talk with Your Excellency Ke Qing."
After a pause, Huo De added: "After all, most of the precious alchemy materials are rare natural treasures, so many senior alchemists even accidentally lost their own in order to find a precious plant. life."
Shaking his head helplessly, Huo De continued: "It is not uncommon for alchemists to rob and kill each other. Therefore, for every alchemist, rare alchemy materials are like rain after a long drought." Generally, there is never too much of it.
"Very good, then I will leave the matter of contacting the Alchemy Guild of this city to the Lord of the City."
Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao said, "I will spare some time tomorrow afternoon or evening to come here to discuss this matter."
"Understood, even though Master Yatuo, who is currently the president, has been recalled to the capital by the royal family, but I have a relatively good relationship with the vice president who stayed behind, and I will still give this face to the other side."
At the front of the team, Hodder opened another metal door that shone with the brilliance of forbidden magic.
Then he responded: "However, I still have to remind Your Excellency, Ke Qing, that the guys who can be resident in the Alchemy Guild are almost the most fanatical alchemists. They are not only defiant, but also arrogant. Your Excellency must be fully prepared..."
"Don't worry, at that time, I will let these heaven's favorites all prostrate at my feet."
With a faint smile, Lei Xiao changed the topic again, and asked again: "By the way, Your Excellency, City Lord, how much do you know about Luolong City?"
There is no doubt that according to the predetermined plan, since Song Lincheng has been included in the sphere of influence of our side.
Then, the next goal is naturally Falling Dragon City.
"To tell you the truth, Your Excellency, although the distance between Luolong City and Gelin City is not very far, I seldom communicate with the Lord Luolong City."
Huo De shook his head helplessly, and responded: "The Lord of Luolong City, nicknamed a skull-crushing madman, is extremely bloodthirsty and warlike, and has an extremely weird temper. His rough skin looks very similar to that of a half-orc. , it is said that it seems to have some half-orc blood."
After a pause, Huo De added: "To tell you the truth, Your Majesty, that guy's strength, even though he has only half a foot into the fourth-order and third-order peak level, but as a fourth-order two-star, the only one who feels A third-order powerhouse who is threatening."
"Oh? A Tier 3 powerhouse can actually make a Tier 4 powerhouse feel threatened?"
At this moment, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a look of curiosity on his face.
"My lord, regarding this Luolong city lord, I have also been in contact with him a few times and learned something about him."
An old voice sounded, only to hear the giant ax general Bert who followed behind said: "This guy was active in the battlefield of the extreme southern rainforest fortress with the strength of a third-order peak powerhouse twenty years ago. He is also a candidate for the eight generals of the royal family."
"However, because in a large-scale encounter, he not only smashed the heads of 30 enemy guards with a chain hammer, but also sent several enemy commanders who were about to surrender, along with the His servant also had his head smashed, and that's why he got the title of skull-crushing madman."
After finishing speaking, Bert couldn't help curling his lips slightly.
"So that's the case, he is quite a **** and ruthless character."
Hearing this, the curiosity on Lei Xiao's face became more and more obvious, and he muttered to himself: "It really makes people want to meet this "skull-crushing madman". "
"All in all, Your Excellency Ke Qing, this person has a capricious temper and is definitely not a normal person. If Your Excellency Ke Qing goes to Luolong City, please be cautious."
Nodding to Lei Xiao, Huo De added with some concern.
"It doesn't matter, I specialize in this kind of rebellious and weird guy."
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 came to an extremely vast underground space.
On the surrounding walls, under the light of row after row of light spar inlaid, Lei Xiao noticed.
Directly opposite him, there were a large number of neatly arranged giant stone gates, and they were divided into upper, middle and lower floors, which looked like a small beehive.
And the three rails extending out are extended to each stone gate by the shortest route, and the layout is extremely decent.
"His Excellency Keqing, Your Royal Highness, please wait here for a moment."
After guiding Lei Xiao and his group to a high place where they could overlook the audience, Huo De nodded to the Richarlis siblings at the side.
Immediately afterwards, the two of Richaris met, and UU Reading immediately began to split up and opened the five doors of the honeycomb warehouse in front one by one.
The first thing that caught Lei Xiao's eyes was an extremely dazzling warehouse.
Needless to say, what is stored in it is naturally a large number of light crystals.
Immediately afterwards, the dark obsidian warehouse with a depressed texture, the black magic crystal warehouse with dots of golden light shining in the black, the wind spirit stone warehouse exuding light yellow light, and the blue moonstone warehouse with a faint blue color appeared one after another. It caught Lei Xiao's eyes.
At this time, even though Lei Xiao was on the high platform, piles of ores of various colors were still clearly visible inside the five gates.
"Hey guy, I've 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 muttered in his heart: "Now, the miraculous buildings in the territory can be upgraded again!"
However, amidst the ecstasy, Lei Xiao seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
