Chapter 319 Long-Lost Old Friend, Guanzhong and Nate【5K】

"My lord, are you really here to take us back?"

Hearing Lei Xiao's affirmative answer, the white-haired old man in the lead, tremblingly asked the question, there was a huge wave in his heart.

These years, he has only seen every plant and tree in his hometown in his dreams.

Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of the young man in front of him... no, the appearance of the young city lord, with his old bones, his dreams could come true one day!

For those of them who have been away from home for many years, this is tantamount to a supreme grace.

"It's absolutely true."

Slightly nodded, looking at the old and excited face of the other party, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Mr., leave the rest to us. You don't need to say anything, just wait at ease."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao leaned down, and said to Xinggui who was full of excitement on his small face: "Don't worry, I will take you home in a short time."

After speaking, Lei Xiao beckoned and gathered another group of Lin, Fang Hai and Guan Zhong who were investigating in the city.

So far, the team of nine strong men who came this time has reunited.

This trip to Magneto Town, the reason why Lei Xiao also brought Guan Zhong, who is the commander of the garrison of Kongqing Town, is because the commander of the garrison of Magneto Town is Guanzhong's old robe.

Although the two have not been in contact in recent years, it is still unknown what help they may be able to provide.

Therefore, after arriving in this city, under Lei Xiao's order, the group was divided into two groups.

A group of residents from Kongqing Town conducted an investigation.

The other group conducted investigations from Guanzhong Paoze Gujiu and other city residents.

I came to the quiet place in the desolate courtyard at the back door, facing the biting wind blowing from the white snow peak from time to time.

Lei Xiao first recounted the information he had just obtained with the three people in the other group, and then asked with frowned eyebrows: "How is it? What did you gain from it?"

"Lord Lord, this Magneto Town is indeed very strange."

I saw Lin took off the hood of the illusion cloak, and the face of a village girl covered with freckles immediately returned to a sassy and delicate face, and said: "First of all, my subordinates and others have noticed that this city, apart from Outside of necessary eating places.

Storefronts including blacksmith shops, tailor shops, hotels, etc. are all closed, and the surroundings are covered with dust. It is obvious that they have not been open for a long time. "

Shaking her head helplessly, Lin continued: "After inquiring, the subordinates and others learned that a few years ago, under the order of the Lord Magneto, almost all the residents of the city joined the ranks of mining. The entire city was directly in a semi-paralyzed state."

"Oh? It's come to this point?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao's face suddenly revealed a look of astonishment, and he began to ponder while pacing around the dilapidated wooden fence.

Originally, he thought it was enough to put the cart before the horse by abandoning a large amount of farmland and turning farmers into miners.

Unexpectedly, the lord of Magnet City even mobilized the blacksmiths, tailors, and a very small number of technicians in the city to mine.

"This kind of approach can no longer be described as desperate, it is simply insane."

Thinking of this, the expression on Lei Xiao's face became more curious.

"What exactly does this Magnet City Master want to do?"

"Could it be that the attractiveness of this mine is so high? So that even the basics of the town don't need to be maintained?"

"If that's the case, then why did the former city lord of Kongqing Town who developed it together at the beginning give up mining? It's just incredible."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao thought for a while, and then asked: "Lin, what kind of things are there in that vein?"

"Lord Lord, it is a relatively rare ore called Blazing Crystal."

On the other side, Lin respectfully saluted.

"Blazing crystal?"

Hearing this, Chaoyan on the side blinked her big eyes, and then said: "This is a kind of spar with fire attribute. Although it is very rare, due to the limited range of applications, the price does not seem to be very high. high?"

"That's right, that's exactly what's weird about Magneto Town."

I saw Lin stroking her messy hair, nodded, and continued: "The price of this kind of ore in the Cold Flame Kingdom is only slightly higher than that of light spar, and it is far from being expensive. category."

After a pause, Lin added: "Thus, such a mine can be regarded as a sideline business, but it is really incomprehensible to mine it so recklessly."

For Lin, who runs a Shanglu trade fair, she is naturally aware of the prices in the Lengyan Kingdom.

"There must be something else hidden in it."

After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao looked up at the towering pure white snow peak above his head, and said thoughtfully, "I have to say, this Lord of Magneto is even more mysterious than we imagined."

Next, Lei Xiao turned to the Commander-in-Chief of Kongqing Town's garrison and said, "Guanzhong, what's going on with your old friend in Paoze?"

"My lord, when my subordinates met with him, the other party was at the post at the gate of the city. Since there were soldiers from the so-called mine defense team around, we didn't talk too much, but agreed to meet in this slum at noon. Meet at the edge of the door."

Guan Zhong stepped forward, patting his chest and saluting: "Besides, this old friend of my subordinate has a straightforward personality and rarely beats around the bush. We should be able to get some new clues from him."

"I see."

Slowly looking up at the snow-capped mountains, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said: "It seems that the so-called mine guards are the ones who really hold the jurisdiction in this city. As for the ordinary city guards, they are just a foil. .”

"My lord, my subordinates have also discovered this."

Saluted to Lei Xiao again, Guan Zhong said again: "The old friend of my subordinate was promoted to the level of the third-tier powerhouse a few years ago, but judging from his expression at that time, it seems that he is very Afraid, the captain of the mine defense team who is standing guard at the gate of the city at the same time, and the opponent is only at the peak level of the second order."

"Things are really getting more and more interesting."

Nodding his head while pondering, Lei Xiao first stretched his waist, and then said to the subordinates of the main force: "We can confirm now that the weird vortex surrounding the entire Magneto Town is concentrated on the Magneto City Lord.

Next, let's start the investigation with Guanzhong's old friend Paozawa, who is the commander of the garrison in Magneto Town. "

"Obey! Your lord!"

All the subordinates bowed in unison and said in unison.

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao returned to the dilapidated wooden house with all his subordinates.

Looking at Xinggui's father who was lying on the bed, Lei Xiao's heart moved, and a second-level healing potion exuding a strange fragrance appeared in his hand.

Just now, after the inspection by the knotweed and others.

It was discovered that Xinggui's father's leg injury was indeed very serious, and this potion could be of great healing effect.

All of a sudden, the humid room was immediately surrounded by a strange fragrance, which made people feel refreshed.

"My lord, this... what is this?"

Looking at the round and translucent alchemy product in Lei Xiao's hands, Xing Gui's father couldn't help but be puzzled.

At the same time, several gray-haired old men around also began to look at each other in blank dismay.

These ordinary civilians, of course, have never seen this kind of miracle medicine that is only spread in the upper class.

"This is a second-order healing potion, take it quickly."

Lei Xiao didn't explain too much, but smiled slightly, and handed the potion to the other party.

"This... I am very grateful to the city owner!"

After taking the potion tremblingly, Xing Gui's father immediately showed an expression of disbelief, and fell into a state of shock again.

You must know that this kind of item worth tens of thousands of gold dragons is nothing more than a dreamy thing that is absolutely insulated, and they dare not even think about it!

On the other side, several old men also showed shocking expressions, and they froze on the spot for an instant.

At this moment, there was a dreamlike feeling in everyone's heart again.

To be so favored by the city lord, before that, even in their dreams, they didn't dare to think so!

Next, it seemed that the time was almost noon.

Lei Xiao first arranged for Xinggui, his father and daughter, and several other elderly people to temporarily hide behind a remote area of ​​the slum.

That is to take all the subordinates and gallop towards the direction agreed with Guan Zhongpaoze's old friend.

...

One big and one small two were scorching sun.

On the edge of the slums in Magnet Town, collapsed wooden houses are mixed with garbage everywhere, and there are stinky muddy ditches in the middle.

In the line of sight, there is a mess and desolation everywhere.

At this time, I saw a figure dressed as an ordinary farmer standing in front of a dilapidated house.

It was none other than the people who were wearing illusion cloaks but took off their hoods.

Before this, Lei Xiao tried many times and experimented.

The subordinates have already fully mastered the method of using the illusion cloak.

If you put on the cloak and the hood that comes with the cloak, you will completely transform into another person.

And if you just wear a cloak without a hood, you will only change the clothes on your body, which is very convenient.

Not long after, with a gust of wind passing by, amidst the dust, another burly figure in light armor of the garrison came roaring towards him.

When the dust gradually settled, the burly figure exuding an imposing manner became clearer.

The age of this person is almost the same as that of Guan Zhong, they are all middle-aged, and their faces are full of determination.

It can be clearly seen from the aura that the opponent has already reached the level of a third-order powerhouse.

Moreover, on its dark left cheek, there is clearly a striking scar, which seems to be caused by some kind of attack magic.

"Guanzhong, I didn't expect you to come to Magnet Town to find me!"

Hearty laughter rang out, and just as the man stood firm, he greeted him cheerfully and opened his arms.

"Nate, long time no see."

Guan Zhong also smiled and gave each other a big hug.

After the two of them stood still again, they could feel the aura of Guanzhong who was obviously stronger than themselves. The middle-aged strong man named Nate couldn't help showing a slightly surprised expression on his face.

You know, back then, when he was at the peak level of the second-order like Guan Zhong, he was one step ahead, broke through the shackles on the battlefield, and reached the level of the third-order powerhouse.

However, it's only been a few years since I've seen him, so why is the other party's aura much higher than his own?

"Guanzhong, you have been practicing hard these few years, and your strength is already higher than that of my old friend."

I saw Nate smiled again, and joked: "You shouldn't have taken a third-order potion that improves your strength, right?"

Shrugging slightly, Guan Zhong nodded and said: "That's right, if our Lord City Master hadn't rewarded me with two Rose Concentrating Pills a few days ago, I'm afraid my current strength is not as good as yours. "

"Well?"

Hearing Guanzhong's somewhat Versailles answer, Nate was taken aback, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Originally, he was just joking casually, but unexpectedly, Guanzhong actually gave an affirmative answer!

You know, this guy never lies!

"However, the price of a third-level strength-enhancing potion is at least at the level of a million gold dragons, and two of them are given in a row? How is this possible? Just one is at least equal to an ordinary town Several years of income!"

Seeing Nate's suspicious expression on his face, he thought to himself: "The key is that there is no mine in Kongqing Town. Besides, even if there is a mine at home, it is impossible to reward the subordinates so easily, right?"

"Impossible, impossible, it is impossible for a good city lord to treat his subordinates like this!"

Even though he thought so in his heart, there was still a hint of envy on Nate's face.

On the other hand, the city lord of Magneto Town, alas, can't explain it in words.

"Nate, you must have heard that our Kongqing Town has changed to a city lord, right?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the other party, Guan Zhong's expressions became serious again, and he said, "To be honest, the reason why I came to Magneto Town was to follow our city lord. "

"What? You mean that the city lord of your Kongqing Town is also here?"

Hearing this, Nate once again showed a surprised expression.

"That's right, our city lord came here this time for the residents of Kongqing Town who are trapped here."

Slightly nodded, Guan Zhong said with a straight face.

"There will be such a city lord who will come here in person for the residents who were abandoned here a few years ago?"

Hearing the affirmative answers from all the people, Nate felt that his worldview was greatly shocked, and he could hardly believe his ears.

Although I don't want to think so, but after all, the city owner of Magneto Town is the culprit of all this!

In such a comparison, Nate, who is the commander of the garrison in Magnet Town, suddenly felt a mixed feeling in his heart.

"Okay Nate, although I still want to continue chatting with you, the golden years when we fought together on the battlefield, but with the current situation in Magneto Town, I think you should be better than me, a foreigner. Can't understand it?"

Stretching out his big hand and patted Nate on the shoulder, Guan Zhong continued: "Why don't we work together to solve the crisis in Magneto Town first?"

"Work together to solve it?"

Nate was stunned for a moment, a look of astonishment appeared on his resolute face again, and asked, "Guanzhong, you mean that your Lord City Lord is also willing to help the residents of our Magnetic Town?!"

At this moment, Nate's heart was full of thoughts.

As the commander-in-chief of the garrison of Magneto Town, he naturally knows the current situation of Magneto Town best.

In recent years, under the domination of the Lord of Magneto himself and the minions of the two second-tier mine defense squadrons under his command.

The entire town of Magnet has reached the brink of collapse.

The difference is that it is different from their native garrison troops.

The minions of those city lords are all evil mercenaries, robbers and bandits recruited by the city lord from outside a few years ago.

The style of work can be described as extremely ruthless, whether it is a miner from Magneto Town or a miner who moved from Kongqing Town.

As long as you don't act according to their way, the consequences can be said to be extremely serious, making everyone dare not speak out.

And their family members of the garrison are also firmly in the hands of these people. Coupled with the suppression of the city lord, they are naturally helpless.

Because of this, what Guan Zhong said, like a ray of dawn in the dark night, instantly caused huge waves in Nate's heart.

"That's right, our Lord City Lord of Kongqing Town made exactly such a plan."

Nodding slightly, the crowd continued proudly: "How is it? Nate, are you willing to help us?"

Hearing the sound, while being excited, Nate looked around and confirmed that no one was following him, then said excitedly: "I am willing to assist your Lord City Master!"

A moment later, Nate, the commander of the garrison in Magnet Town, came before Lei Xiao under the guidance of the crowd.

At this time, a group of people were in a quiet and unspoken cabin, and they had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing clearly Lei Xiao who was in the top position, Nate suddenly showed a look of surprise in his eyes, and thought secretly in his heart.

"This is the new city owner of Kongqing Town? Why are you so young?"

"Moreover, from his body, he can't feel any aura of a strong man, and the followers around him don't emit any energy fluctuations. They seem to be just a group of ordinary people."

Realizing this, Nate straightened up a little more.

You know, no matter what, he is a real, respected third-tier two-star powerhouse.

"Speaking of which, the other party is really capable and can help the residents of our Magnetic Town resolve the crisis?"

Just when Nate's eyes flickered and there was some doubt in his heart.

On the other side, Lei Xiao, who was sitting at the top, nodded to the burly man beside him, and said calmly, "Kumba, let's start."

"Obey! Your lord!"

A rough voice sounded.

In an instant, a monstrous aura swept out from the sturdy body of Polygonum cuspidatum.

Just like a majestic torrent, it completely enveloped the cabin in an instant.

Before the stunned Nate could react.

In the next second, waves of powerful aura erupted from Lei Xiao and the others one after another, making the entire room surge with energy, almost suffocating.

After a while, Nate, who was so shocked beyond measure, finally came to his senses.

It turned out that in the whole room, only his strength... was the weakest.
