Chapter 381 Lord and Traveling Merchant

I saw Lei Xiao's mind moving, accompanied by a faint spatial fluctuation.

An emerald green spar storage ring appeared on the palm of his hand.

Without hesitation, Lei Xiao directly opened the attribute bar of the ring.

[Name: Pupil of Biying] (unbound)

[Grade: Tier 3 Excellence (Blue)]

[Defense Strength: None]

[Additional effect: the top space pole "can store and take out any lifeless objects at will, and the space capacity is 50 cubic meters"]

[Remarks: A storage ring from the forest elves, refined by a great magician of the space department of the elves.

Its previous owner seems to have left many precious items inside. 】

"That's right, is it a Tier 3 quality storage ring?"

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and murmured in his heart: "You must take a good look at it later, what will be there."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao turned around, and said to the Queen's General and the Princess' personal maid standing respectfully beside him, "Okay, Jubai, Xinghui, you two should get out of here first, before I get my permission." , everything is as usual, if you have anything to do, feel free to contact me."

"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"

Hearing this, the two girls bowed and saluted at the same time, and then left first.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao's voice prompt sounded abruptly.

After connecting, Lin's sassy voice came over immediately: "My lord, the president of Kongqing Town Chamber of Commerce, Kunbu is asking to see you."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, and thought to himself: "Since we parted in the mirage of the ancient battlefield ruins, due to the busy schedule, we haven't been able to see this guy again."

"However, at that time, the 1,000 units of white jade ore I took from him directly upgraded my Bright Healing Center to level 2."

"Combined with the previous series of things, this guy's contribution to the territory can be regarded as a lot of hard work."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately responded to Lin: "Let him wait for me in the conference hall, I'll come right away."

After speaking, Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates beside him, and took his own steps.

A moment later, when Lei Xiao stepped into the door of the conference hall.

Lin and Kunbu, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately greeted them.

"See Lord City Master!"

Still dressed in brocade robes, the bloated Kumbu quickly knelt down on one knee and lowered his head deeply towards Lei Xiao.

"President Kumbu, I've heard about you."

Signaling the potbellied middle-aged businessman to stand up, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "After encountering the phantom mirage, are you still in good health?"

"Thank you, Lord City Lord, for your concern!"

Kumbu stood up again, with a flattered expression on his greasy face, and quickly responded: "Going back to the City Master, there is nothing serious except for dizziness. Therefore, after returning to Kongqing Town, the villain I had to rest on the bed for two days, so I didn't meet the Lord City Lord at the first time, please forgive me, Lord City Lord!"

"No problem."

Waving his hand slightly, Lei Xiao nodded and said.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord! By the way, the white jade ore brought by my subordinates has just been stored in the big warehouse of the City Lord's Mansion. Please also check it, Lord City Lord!"

Kunbu smiled at first, and then said a little embarrassedly: "It's a pity that a small part of the white jade ore was lost during the process of entering the phantom mirage."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, the small part of the lost white jade ore was naturally the part he took away at that time.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and asked the middle-aged businessman again: "By the way, President Kunbu, where did you find those white jade ores?"

As a level 2 common resource, white jade ore is one of the key materials for upgrading the miracle building, Bright Healing Institute.

However, the Lengyan Kingdom is not the place where white jade ore is produced, so it is difficult to find such resources.

Therefore, if a large amount of white jade ore can be found, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the territory to continue to upgrade the Bright Healing Station.

"Back to Lord City Master, the matter is like this."

Kunbu rubbed his fat hands, and responded respectfully: "The villain has a businessman friend from Shanjing Principality, and the white jade ore was purchased from him."

"As for the specific method of obtaining it, although the other party did not explain it, the villain believes that this white jade ore is likely to be mined in the Shanjing Principality, and after the transaction between the villain and the other party is completed, this person also Has returned to the Shanjing Principality."

Having said that, Kumbu bowed slightly, with an expression of admiration.

"So that's how it is."

After listening to Kunbu's answer, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression.

"It just so happens that my next plan is to go to the Principality of Shanjing to learn more about the information about General Burt of the Great Axe."

"It seems that it is a good choice to use this businessman friend of Kumbu as a breakthrough. By the way, we can also find out the source of the white jade ore."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao inquired in detail about Kumbu, a businessman friend.

And Kumbu also knew everything, and he introduced everything in detail.

Immediately, Kumbu seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up, and he bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "By the way, my lord, when I was leaving from the phantom, the villain accidentally found a piece of this!"

After finishing speaking, Kumbu carefully took out a round spar the size of a fist from his bosom.

Looking carefully, I saw that the whole body of this spar was dark red, and it looked crystal clear, shining like a ruby.

Taking the spar from the opponent's hand, Lei Xiao recognized it at first glance, and blurted out involuntarily: "It turned out to be a phantom crystal?"

Through previous understanding, Lei Xiao clearly understood.

This kind of phantom crystal that can be used as a recorder is extremely rare.

I had obtained a piece on the Eternal Ship before.

It was also because of the phantom crystal inlaid on the giant ship's figure that I was able to see the images of the last period of time before the disaster of the eternal ship.

"My lord, this is indeed an illusion crystal."

I saw Ye Cang pushing the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, also showing a surprised expression, bowed slightly and said: "Phantom crystals in nature are indeed produced in phantom mirages, and this is the only way to obtain phantom crystals." way, but the possibility is very small.”

"It seems that this is a blessing in disguise."

Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao immediately opened the property bar of the illusion crystal.

【Name: Illusion Crystal】

[Resource level: Level 5 (rare)]

【Specification: 10cm】

【Purity: Grade A+】

【Energy: 100%】

[Remarks: This is a brand new illusion crystal, as long as a little energy is injected into it, no matter whether the holder is an illusionist or not, the recording function can be turned on.

And if a large amount of energy is injected into it, an illusion can be instantly formed in a certain area, and the recorded scene can be reproduced. 】

"Not bad."

Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao pocketed the Illusion Crystal and praised the middle-aged businessman, "President Kunbu, this time, you have made a great contribution."

After speaking, Lei Xiao fell into deep thought again, thinking to himself: "I have to say, Kumbu is really loyal."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, let him become my direct subordinate. In this way, as the president of Kongqing Town Chamber of Commerce, he can better assist Lin and Fang Hai."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and said to the middle-aged businessman in front of him, "President Kunbu, I believe you have roughly guessed my real identity, right?"

After speaking, Lei Xiao briefly introduced his situation to Kumbu, and offered him an olive branch.

On the other side, after listening to Lei Xiao's words, Kunbu, who had already made this plan, immediately revealed a look of ecstasy.

He didn't hesitate at all, and knelt down in front of Lei Xiao again, excitedly saying: "My subordinate, Kumbu Brown Board, is willing to swear allegiance to the lord!"

"Very well, let's start signing the contract."

Immediately afterwards, a Tier 1 recruitment order flashed into Lei Xiao's hand, and it began to glow faintly.

After a while, the familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.

[Congratulations, the first-rank and two-star traveling merchant Kumbu Brown Board has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】

After helping the other party up, Lei Xiao immediately opened the other party's attribute bar.

【Name: Kumbu】

[Occupation: Traveling Merchant]

[Class: Tier 1, 2 stars]

【Loyalty: 100】

[Skill 1: Mental Arithmetic Master "Passive" (mental arithmetic speed greatly increased)]

[Skill 2: Horse-drawn carriage driving proficiency "passive" (a moderate increase in carriage driving skills)]

"As expected of a professional businessman, he doesn't have a single combat skill."

Seeing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help curling his lips slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao groaned slightly, handed over a storage ring, ten condensing qi pills, and a third-rank short sword to the other party, and said: "Kunbu, this brand new storage Needless to say, the ring and the third-tier dagger, you must know more about Qi Ning Pill than me, right?"

"At that time, in the dense forest, but you gave me one first."

Smiling faintly at the middle-aged businessman, Lei Xiao continued: "As my subordinate, not only must your personal professional ability be great, but your own strength must also keep up. Only in this way can you better protect yourself."

"These ten qi condensing pills are enough for you to cultivate to the level of the second-order nine-star. All in all, these are my meeting gifts."

After speaking, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and looked at the traveling businessman in front of him with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Lord Lord!"

On the other side, after receiving the items from Lei Xiao, Kunbu was already so excited that he could not speak coherently, so he knelt down on one knee again, and lowered his head deeply to Lei Xiao.

As a professional businessman, he naturally knows the value of these items best!

You know, in order to get that Qi Condensing Pill back then, Kumbu had already consumed almost all the funds at hand, and it took a lot of effort to finally get it.

What's more, it's ten at once? !

"The most important thing is that the storage ring is a top-level item that nobles and old men have the qualifications and channels to obtain. I didn't expect that as an ordinary civilian, I would be able to obtain this dream treasure one day!"

Just when Kumbu was very excited.

Lei Xiao said to Lin who was on the side again: "Let Guan Zhong spare some time to personally guide Kunbu to practice. With Kunbu's full support, the business of Kongqing Town must be able to make further progress from now on."

"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"

Hearing this, Lin immediately stroked her chest and bowed, bowing to accept her orders.

After a pause, Lin took another step forward, bowed slightly to Lei Xiao, and said, "Master, my subordinates have one more thing to report."

"Oh? What is it?"

Lei Xiao asked in doubt as he helped Kumbu kneel down on the marble floor to his feet again.

"The habitat of the sky pterosaur that the lord asked his subordinates to look for before has already taken shape."

Lin continued to salute and spoke.

"Really? Where is it?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a gleam of joy again on his face.

After finding the habitat of the sky pterosaur, the combat power of the ten third-order pterosaur knights under his command will inevitably increase significantly.

Moreover, these third-tier sky knights are much higher than ordinary ground cavalry in terms of speed and strategy.

Obviously, it can further enhance the comprehensive strength of the territory.

"My lord, the closest habitat of the Sky Pterosaur to us is in the mountains near the Shanjing Principality!"

A sassy voice sounded, and Lin immediately responded.

"I see."

Nodding his head slightly, Lei Xiao began to ponder again.

"The further information of the giant ax general Burt, the mining site of the white jade ore, and the habitat of the sky pterosaur all point to the remote small country on the border between Lengyan and Shengye, the Principality of Shanjing?"

"It seems that the matter of going there is imminent."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately asked Lin and Kunbu: "How much do you two know about the Shanjing Principality?"

"My lord, last year, my subordinates went to Shanjing Principality many times to do business, and it was at that time that I met the businessman friend I just mentioned."

Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Kunbu's fat face was full of respect, and he responded: "This small country located in the mountains has very scarce food resources and is not suitable for planting crops."

"We can only rely on us merchants to transport and hunt monsters. Correspondingly, the mineral veins there are relatively rich, but it is only relative, and there are no important rare resources."

After a pause, Kumbu added: "As for the mined minerals, most of them are replaced with food to maintain the normal operation there."

"It's not much different from what I know. Apart from that, is there anything else worth noting?"

Nodding his head slightly, looking at the two people standing respectfully in front of him, Lei Xiao asked again.

"My lord, a few years ago, when my subordinates were conducting the trials of the Shanglu family, they also lived in the Principality of Shanjing for nearly a month. However, one night, a strange thing happened. "

I saw that Lin's eyes were blurred, obviously caught in the memory.

"oh?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing an expression of interest.
