Chapter 765 Completion of the Ninth-Level City Lord’s Mansion

Listening to the continuous sound of automatic construction within the huge colored light curtain, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Whether in terms of the resources consumed or the coverage of the light curtain, the scale of the mansion upgrade this time is obviously larger than before, and the upgrade time may also be extended.

"Everyone should carry out their activities step by step. It seems that it will take some time before we can see the whole picture of the new Lord's Mansion."

Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and nodded to the subordinates beside him.

"Obey! Your lord!"

All the subordinates bowed in unison, excitedly saying in unison.

Looking at the backs of his subordinates leaving one after another, Lei Xiao once again had a look of anticipation on his face.

This upgrade of the mansion has taken the longest time, and it is also the first time the territory has undergone transformation after the baptism of blood and fire. It must be completely new, right?

"By the way, I don't know what kind of rewards you will get after the mansion is upgraded this time?"

While looking forward to it, Lei Xiao slowly moved his eyes away from the light curtain, and landed on another petite figure who was excited not far away.

I saw that figure with an exquisite figure, and the gray and white Xin's long pointed ears exposed through the thick hair were particularly eye-catching.

This person is none other than Jinwen, the master of illusion who has just been subdued, or Erza, the dark elf.

Although her skin is extremely fair, the beauty and elegance unique to the elves are still vividly reflected in her body.

"Everyone else has gone to do their morning exercises and wash up, is this girl the only one left?"

Looking at Ersha's exquisite side face full of excitement, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and said in his heart: "Elusha, who is very interested in archeology and ancient relics, is the first time to see something like a miraculous building. Is the Lord's Mansion upgraded? No wonder you are so excited."

"By the way, I promise this girl to explore the Winged Human Clan's enchantment area and the land of gods, and I will proceed after everything stabilizes. I can't live up to this girl's great help to me back then."

"Speaking of which, if Xiaoya, who is still out of town, sees her respected illusion teacher in this state, she will probably be petrified on the spot. I'm so surprised, right?"

Lei Xiao couldn't help but think about it, and at the same time he walked up to Ersha.

"Good morning, my lord!"

Seeing Lei Xiao's figure, Elusa quickly turned her eyes back, blinking her starry eyes and couldn't help but say with joy: "Being the lord's subordinate is really the most honored thing in my life!"

"Elusha, you will see more miraculous things in the future."

Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and then expressed his thoughts just now: "At present, the territory is still fraught with dangers, and I promised you that the matter of exploring the ruins will be postponed for a few days. With you, the master of illusion, always by my side, we It can also be more reassuring.”

"My lord, these subordinates naturally understand!"

Hearing that Lei Xiao valued and cared about her so much, Elusa was moved, and said sincerely: "Only when the territory is stable, will the subordinates be able to explore the ruins. After all, this is the only place for the subordinates to return to!"

"That's good. Later, I will ask Lian, who is a servant of the gods, and other people who have been to the land of the gods, to tell you what happened there first."

Lei Xiao nodded and said with a smile, "I hope you can integrate into the team of the strong as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, my lord, Sister Chao Yan and the others are very kind to their subordinates, and even prepared a lot of dishes for their subordinates during the banquet!"

Erza nodded her head overjoyed, and quickly responded.

"Chao Yan, this girl, relying on her status as a senior who understands her territory, she is only in her 20s and actually let Erusa, who is in her 200s, call her sister. I heard it at the banquet yesterday. Let's see how I deal with her when I look back. .”

Thinking of this amusedly in his heart, Lei Xiao seemed to have remembered something, and said again: "By the way, Ersha, show me your staff and robe."

Afterwards, Lei Xiao successfully upgraded Ersha's fourth-tier staff and fourth-tier robe to the fifth-tier level, which is enough to protect the country. This undoubtedly greatly enhanced Ersha's strength.

Amidst Erza's ecstatic thank you, Lei Xiao looked at the still dazzling giant construction light curtain, and did not stay any longer, but went to the cafeteria to have breakfast with Erza and other subordinates.

After eating a sumptuous breakfast with all the subordinates, Lei Xiao noticed.

In the colorful light curtain covering the lord's mansion, there was still the sound of construction in full swing, which clearly showed that the construction was still going on for a while.

As a result, Lei Xiao simply used the dining hall where he ate as a conference hall for the time being, gathering all the subordinates of the main force and the subordinates of the commander.

At the same time, they also contacted the subordinates of the leaders in various places and the members of the Shadow Squadron responsible for conveying the news through reading.

"Today, the main issues in each city are still to stabilize the situation, recruit soldiers, distribute supplies and pensions."

After a brief greeting, Lei Xiao officially started the meeting.

"In addition, each city also needs to make statistics on the number of expected recruits, the list of mid-level and low-level commanders, and identity background checks, so that I can distribute equipment and other combat supplies in the future..."

During the meeting with leaders from all over the world, Lei Xiao also confirmed five things.

First, according to the plan, let the surrendered soldiers return to their hometowns one after another.

The second is to disperse the knights who were canonized in Kongqing Town yesterday to lead the planting and construction as soon as possible, so as to further stabilize the overall environment.

The third is to mass-produce the flags of himself and Ariel, and hang them side by side in each city.

The fourth is to continue to use the bards to publicize Ariel's achievements and improve the prestige of the cold flame princess.

Fifth, it is about building a communication network.

After finishing all the tasks, Lei Xiao offlined the subordinates of the leaders and the members of the Shadow Squadron, and began to deploy the territory.

"Everyone, just like what I said yesterday, the territory is still surrounded by powerful enemies."

With piercing eyes, Lei Xiao looked at the subordinates sitting on both sides of the long dining table one by one, and said solemnly: "Although we only rested for a few days, a new life-and-death challenge has arrived, and we are no longer allowed to relax any longer. gone."

"So starting today, the territory is completely back on track, and everything is implemented in accordance with the highest alert standards during the war."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao looked at the two Aaron Bards who were still wrapped in bandages, and continued: "Of course, the wounded soldiers still need to rest well. I will call new forces as soon as possible to replenish the soldiers of the two Great Swordsman Squadrons." together."

"Obey! Your lord!"

All the commanders stroked their chests and saluted, saying in unison.

"Of course, everyone must have seen that there is another important matter today, which is to welcome the new forces in the territory. Just follow my instructions later."

Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and turned to where the main subordinates were located: "As for my itinerary today, the first thing is to go to the hidden ice cave in the Songyin Mountains to rescue a legendary alchemist."

"My lord, are you talking about the ancestor Ice Demon Garth?!"

Xue Ya's starry eyes lit up, her fair face was full of excitement, and she blurted out.

Xueya clearly understands that as long as this ancestor can see the light of day again, the overall strength of his family will undoubtedly rise to a whole new level! It is also possible to better serve the lord!

"That's right, I've found all the items I need."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and responded with a smile: "Due to the special geographical location of Fenglong City, although no troops were directly sent to participate in the battle, the elite squadron that was secretly dispatched made great contributions in the battle for Wangxing City. The same goes for the family's fief, Shuiyue City."

"So, let's take it as an extra reward for your family. Of course, it's also for the development of the territory."

"In addition to you, I will also call your father Tran to meet the ancestor of the Bingliu family together."

After speaking, Lei Xiao's eyes shifted, and then fell on another pretty alchemist, and continued: "Faxia, I will also reward your family's Shuiyue City, if you need anything, please let me know. "

"The lord's concern is already the best reward for his subordinates!"

Hearing Lei Xiao's words, Fa Xia looked excited, and quickly waved his hands: "As for the other rewards, let's wait until Shuiyue City once again contributes to the lord."

"The geographical locations of Fenglong City and Shuiyue City are special, they are located outside Wangxing City, and there will definitely be a chance to show their talents next time."

Lei Xiao nodded, and then said: "Faxia, you should also participate in this matter of saving the ancestors of the Bingliu family. In the future, you will learn a lot from this master alchemist."

"Obey! Your lord!"

Faxia stroked his chest and saluted, respectfully accepting his orders.

"The last thing is about the logistics of the territory."

Lei Xiao focused his gaze on Ward, the old butler in a tuxedo, nodded and said: "After the further expansion of the personnel in the territory, the supply of food and other aspects will definitely increase the intensity. If there is only one farmer squadron If not enough, I will allocate new logistics forces as soon as possible.”

"My lord, the current members of the peasant squadron have all mastered the skills of cooking, and they are fully capable of doubling the food supply."

The old butler saluted respectfully, and responded: "After all, including the subordinates, the territorial logistics department has 10 third-tier powerhouses, 80 second-tier elite forces, and 5 mercenaries who are temporarily under the management!"

"Then I can rest assured. This time, I will summon some new subordinates to fill you up to the size of a full squadron. I will continue to expand the physical warehouse."

Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and said to the old housekeeper, "The logistics of the territory are extremely important, and I will leave everything to you."

"Please rest assured, my lord, my subordinates will definitely do their best and die."

Ward solemnly stroked his chest again and said firmly.

"Okay, let's end today's meeting."

Lei Xiao stood up from the top seat at the dining table, and waved to his subordinates.

Surrounded by the subordinates of the main force, Lei Xiao, who had returned to the front of the mansion, noticed.

Compared with the busy construction just now, the sound of construction inside the colorful light curtain has obviously slowed down a lot.

This undoubtedly means that the upgrade of the lord's mansion has reached the final stage.

It didn't take long, when the construction sound stopped completely, and at the same time as the colored light curtain began to dim, a pleasant reminder sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.

[Congratulations, your lord's mansion has been upgraded to level 9! 】

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao looked up excitedly.

I saw that the colorful light curtains covering the surroundings of the mansion had gradually dissipated, and amidst the rippling energy particles, a majestic castle with a new look appeared.

"Good guy, it really is an earth-shaking change."

Looking up at the huge gray stone building in front of him, Lei Xiao nodded excitedly.

In terms of scale, the upgraded lord's mansion has more than half the area and volume.

The shape has also been expanded from the original cuboid to a more durable cube, which is no different from a castle, and even comparable to the City Lord's Mansion in Kongqing Town.

Not only does it look extremely thick, but the number of arrow towers on the left and right sides has also increased to four, extending evenly on the four corners of the mansion.

In addition, it can be clearly seen from the distribution of windows.

Not only are there more rooms on each floor, but the floor has also changed from the previous three floors to four!

"This is exactly the same as the castle of my dreams. I don't know what has changed inside?"

Amidst the exclamations of the surrounding subordinates, Lei Xiao, who was full of anticipation, walked straight to the gate of the lord's mansion.

When he got close to the gate, Lei Xiao noticed it.

In addition to the original thick metal door, a metal gate was added on the outside of the gate, which is currently in an open state.

I saw that on the surface of the clean metal door, the magic stream became more and more intense, and the defensive spells automatically blessed by the mansion also significantly enhanced a level.

"It's perfect, I can sleep more peacefully at night."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and opened the heavy metal door in front of him without changing his expression.

For Lei Xiao, who was a powerhouse of the fourth rank, it was naturally a breeze to open this heavy metal door.

Stepping into the brand-new lord's mansion, Lei Xiao's eyes suddenly brightened.

The extremely spacious castle hall, brightly lit, exudes a simple and solemn taste everywhere.

The majestic gray-black metal throne at the end of the hall complements the exquisite reliefs on the surrounding walls, showing a grand style and making people feel awe-inspiring.

"You know, this is a building that belongs entirely to me. I'm already looking forward to changes in other places."

Lei Xiao paced slowly in the hall while looking around excitedly.

After walking around the hall of the mansion, Lei Xiao first came to the left hand side of the hall.

This is still a luxuriously decorated banquet hall, the area has at least doubled, and it can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time.

The exquisite gold-inlaid landscape wall carvings and the delicately textured pure white floor tiles complement each other, and under the illumination of the metal chandelier in the center, it looks magnificent everywhere.

The kitchen at the end of the banquet hall is also significantly more spacious, with complete kitchen facilities such as pots, stoves, and ovens.

"This must be at least a thousand square meters, right? Before crossing, I wouldn't even dare to dream that I could have such a luxurious personal banquet hall."

Looking at the extremely luxurious scene around him, Lei Xiao sighed in his heart.

"I don't know what changes will happen to other places in the mansion?"
