Chapter 438: Arrangements for the Next Step and Return

"It can't be said to be completely different, it can only be said to be irrelevant."

Lei Xiao touched Chaoyan's head casually, smiled slightly and said, "Maybe one day, you will see with your own eyes, maybe the world I used to be in, and I believe you will be surprised by then."

The reason why Lei Xiao said this is not without basis. After all, a billion lords can travel here, so it is not ruled out that there is a way to travel back.

Of course, for the current self, all this is still very far away, after all, even the most basic survival has not yet been fully guaranteed.

Moreover, my understanding of this magical world is still at a relatively superficial stage.

"Just like I thought before, our billion lords have traveled collectively, and there must be a huge mystery hidden behind it."

"If my guess is correct, this huge mystery must be inextricably linked to the unknown events that happened in the blank age three thousand years ago."

Looking at the big expectant eyes in front of Chaoyan, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

"This point can also be seen from Wang Xi, the pioneer traveler six hundred years ago."

"After all, in addition to the lord's mansion, Wang Xi also has a prompt talent and an operation interface with some functions open. He himself once joked about it. Compared with our billion lords, his operation interface is like a test. Average version."

"It is not difficult to see from this that the collective travel of our one billion lords will not be just an accident, but a meticulous plan that has gone through hundreds or even thousands of years."

"As for who the instigator is, and what purpose and intention they have, it is currently unknown."

Lei Xiao took a sip of the steaming tea and nodded thoughtfully.

"There is one more thing that cannot be ignored, and that is the unknown catastrophe that may come at any time, and according to Wang Xi, the catastrophe is just the prelude to a series of events."

"The blank era that has passed away, the passage of one billion lords today, the catastrophe that is coming in the future... What is the connection between all of these?"

Lei Xiao put down the exquisite white porcelain cup in his hand, took a deep breath, and his face became more dignified.

There are undoubtedly many more mysteries before him.

Then, Lei Xiao introduced the cataclysm that he knew to the woman of the Dragon Clan in detail, and asked with frowned eyebrows: "Red Ye, how much do you Red Dragon Clan know about the Cataclysm?"

"My lord, my subordinates have indeed heard about it, and the family members who are good at divination have mentioned this matter."

Hong Ye stood up from her seat, and responded respectfully: "However, because my subordinate was young at the time, I didn't take it to heart."

"Now it seems that since several prophecies point to the unknown catastrophe, there should be no doubt about the authenticity of this matter."

On Hong Ye's fair face, there was also a hint of awe, and he affirmed: "This subordinate believes that a catastrophe is absolutely inevitable, and it may happen at any time!"

"Is it absolutely inevitable?"

Lei Xiao motioned for the other party to sit down again, while nodding in deep thought, and recalled the scene of talking with Wang Xi at the place where the ancestors slept in Luolong City.

""That's right, it's you, Brother Lei. "

Wang Xi nodded slightly, his resolute face began to become more serious, and he said: "Not long ago, when you just stepped into this underground square, my talent told me that this big The catastrophe is inevitable, and you will most likely become the hope to solve this catastrophe!" "

Recalling this point, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.

The road ahead still has a long way to go.

After all, that guy added later, "At the end of the day, my talent is just an explanation of a possibility. Perhaps, what appears in front of you in the end is not hope, but an abyss of despair."

"Whether it's hope or despair, as long as I keep accumulating energy and laying a solid foundation for the future, everything will be solved."

"Regarding the catastrophe that may come at any time, although I can only feel its horror and madness from the few words of the prophecy, what will happen at that time is really curious."

"Of course, what this curiosity brings is likely to be darkness, distortion and death."

Lei Xiao picked up the teacup and drank the tea in it, suppressing his shock.

Then, Lei Xiao seemed to remember something, and asked the president's daughter who was standing respectfully beside him, "Kelly, how is old Nick doing?"

Lei Xiao clearly understood that this crazy old bard was undoubtedly his only clue about the cataclysm at this stage.

"Return to Lord Lord, Old Nick is currently placed in this merchant land trade fair, and is taken care of by a team of fighting maids personally trained by his subordinates."

Kelly smiled confidently, bowed and responded: "If it returns to normal, or reveals other matters, the subordinates will definitely get the information as soon as possible, and then report it to the lord!"

"Very good, thank you for your hard work."

Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, picked up the teacup Ah Bing had just filled up again, and brought his thoughts back to the present.

I saw Lei Xiao feeling the warmth from the cup wall, and a touch of joy appeared on his face.

This trip to the ruins of Fanyin City can be said to be fruitful.

Not only did he get the sacred object of the Titan family [Titan's Pupil], a broken Tier 6 battleaxe, and ten broken Tier 5 battleaxes, but also the relationship with the two knight leaders took a big step forward. step.

"Tina of the Blue Rose Knights and Ryan of the Broken Blade Knights have basically reached the point where they can be subdued."

"However, all the third-tier recruitment orders in my hand have been used up, and the two are currently dealing with the aftermath of the ruins, so it is difficult to have a chance to get along alone."

"So for the matter of subduing the two, it is better to find time later and go directly to the residences of the two knight orders. It happens to be able to check the surrounding terrain environment by the way."

Having made up his mind, Lei Xiao took another sip of his tea.

"Needless to say, Kelly's president's father, Gail, from the previous exploration of the ruins, is essentially no different from other subordinates. As long as there are redundant fourth-level recruitment orders, they can be subdued."

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Lei Xiao frowned again.

"As for Auer, the lord of Fanyin City, just like I thought before, if he can be subdued, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to mastering Fanyin City, an important commercial city."

"This point will play a vital role in the first small goal of controlling the entire eastern area of ​​Lengyan in the future."

"After all, Fanyin City, as a commodity distribution center, controls nearly half of the food and daily necessities in this area."

While thinking about it, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat.

I saw him first put the [Pupil of Titan] on the ground into the space bracelet, and then slowly paced in the luxurious reception room.

After the little display of strength in the ruins just now, I am afraid that the city lord Orr has a little awe of himself in his heart.

However, it is far from enough to subdue the opponent.

Different from small cities such as Shuiyue City and Fenglong City, as one of the important towns in the eastern region of Lengyan, the importance of Fanyin City is self-evident.

It is conceivable that other than himself, those in power of Leng Yan also understand this truth very well.

Needless to say, when the old king was sitting in charge in person, at this stage, when the power struggle in the capital is intensifying, it is the most critical thing to find out whether Orr has fallen for a certain prince.

"Only after figuring this out, and with the fact that Auer and I have a common opponent, a mysterious organization, can I take this as an entry point and completely subdue it."

Thinking up to this point in his mind, Lei Xiao had already walked up to Kelly, who was standing respectfully, and asked, "How much do you know about the city lord Aur?"

"Lord Lord, City Lord Orr holds the noble title of Marquis of Lengyan, and Fanyin City is his family's fiefdom."

Kelly bowed slightly to Lei Xiao, and involuntarily stroked the hair on her forehead.

Even though she usually roams Fanyin City, she is fearless, but when she is only a dozen centimeters away from Lei Xiao, she still seems extremely cramped.

I saw Kelly's face was reddish, she lowered her head and continued to speak: "As far as I know, it was ten years ago that Orr inherited the family business and became the owner of Fanyin City. Serve as court magician."

"Have you ever worked for the Lengyan royal family?"

Lei Xiao stroked his chin thoughtfully, and asked again with frowned eyebrows: "Is there any prince who walks closer with him?"

"Go back to the lord, the subordinates will not know about this matter."

Kelly thought for a moment, then shook her head lightly and said, "However, the subordinates who grew up in Fanyin City clearly know that ten years ago, Fanyin City was far less prosperous than it is now, and it was Orr The low tax system that has not changed in the past ten years has made Fanyin City more and more prosperous."

"Under Orr's governance, Fanyin City's other policies and benefits are slightly higher than those of surrounding cities, and it has never made any mistakes with ordinary residents. It can be said that it is quite popular, and there are no rumors of wanton money-making."

I only heard Kelly continue to say: "Otherwise, it is impossible to leave the treasury of Fanyin City empty just because of hiring a few fourth-tier powerhouses and other third-tier powerhouses."

"It seems that Orr is an outstanding existence among the nobles of Lengyan."

Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said again: "Recently, you must pay more attention to the movements of the city lord Orr, and report to me in time if you have anything, especially pay close attention to whether there are any other princes coming and going. Sound City."

"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"

Kelly stroked her chest and saluted, and said: "The father of this subordinate already has a good personal relationship with the city lord Orr, so it's not a problem to do this!"

"Very good. This matter is very important to my future layout, so I must take it to heart."

Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "Also, it's best to find out from the side what position Orr held in the Lengyan royal family."

After Kelly bowed and said yes, Lei Xiao returned to his seat and began to think about his next move.

"By the way, today's recruitment order hasn't been received yet. In addition, I haven't returned to the territory for almost two days and one night. There are still some matters that have not been dealt with. Let's go back to the territory to recharge our batteries first."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao called back the sisters Nan Xing and Nanyue who were still in the ruins of the Titan tribe, and told Kelly to report immediately if there was any movement in the ruins.

"Obey! Your lord."

Kelly seemed to remember something, and bowed again: "By the way, my lord, the lunch has already been prepared, and this subordinate will order the kitchen to heat it up."

When Nanxing Nanyue returned, the group finished their meal in the restaurant of the Shanglu Trade Fair.

Lei Xiao brought all his subordinates back to the luxurious reception room.

"Kelly, practice hard, I believe we will meet again soon."

Lei Xiao nodded to the little pepper in Fanyin City in front of him, and a crystal clear city return crystal appeared on the palm of his hand.

It is worth mentioning that Lei Xiao has already noticed it.

Hongye, who has signed the dragon's blood contract, is no different from other subordinates. They are all registered on the population interface of the territory, and can also use the reading function normally.

Therefore, naturally, like other subordinate and subservient races, they are all within the scope of application of the city return crystal.

"Obey! Your lord! Everything in Fanyin City is left to your subordinates."

Kelly took a few steps back and saluted Lei Xiao again.

"Then we should leave too."

After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he motioned to the nine people of Hu Zhang, Hong Ye, Ye Cang, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Chao Yan, Bai Wei, A Ling and A Bing to lean towards him, and then crushed the city return crystal in their hands.

Amidst the surge of energy, the familiar cyan light curtain rose, enveloping Lei Xiao and the others instantly.

With the passage of time, under the watchful eyes of Kelly, the cyan light curtain around the group of ten people also began to become thicker.

Not long after, Lei Xiao felt a bright light flickering in front of him, making it almost impossible to open his eyes, and his body suddenly became lighter.

When the sense of fulfillment from both feet landing reappeared, Lei Xiao found that he had already returned to the familiar territory.

At this time, it was already halfway through the afternoon, and the temperature of the two suns above the head was obviously much milder, which made people feel quite warm.

Lei Xiao looked at the familiar gate of the lord's mansion in front of him, took a deep breath of the fresh air with a slight smell of cement, and instantly calmed down.

Even though he had only been away for a short time, he still felt like he hadn't seen him for a long time.

Afterwards, Lei Xiao said to Erhanizi and the werewolf girl at the side: "Chao Yan, Bai Wei, take Hong Ye around the territory first, as for her residence, it will be arranged in the empty room next to yours." Bar."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao looked at the curious expression of the dragon woman who came to the territory for the first time, and smiled slightly: "Hong Ye, I will introduce you to other people in the territory when the meeting is held. "

"Obey! Your lord!"

The three saluted their chests, and then left together.

After ordering the other subordinates to disband on the spot, Lei Xiao went straight back to his lord's mansion.

Then, naturally, it was time to deal with a series of unfinished business.
