Chapter 378 My Lord, Times Have Changed

Songluo City City Lord's Mansion, City Lord's Office.

In this spacious room with extremely luxurious decoration, the crystal fringed chandeliers inlaid with light crystals and top gemstones illuminate the resplendent space with brilliance.

At a glance, whether it is the exquisitely crafted high-grade magical mahogany desk, the soft carpet made of top-grade monster fur, or the large golden fireplace engraved with exquisite patterns, there is a sense of grandeur everywhere, which makes people feel dizzy.

The dazzling and exquisite murals on the walls, as well as the well-arranged and full of precious artworks, made this magnificent room feel a bit more like a museum exhibition hall.

All in all, everything has a strong smell of money.

Needless to say, in this room, even if it is the cheapest item, it is absolutely beyond the reach of ordinary civilians who have worked hard all their lives.

At the same time, it also proved how rich the owner here is.

I saw a middle-aged aristocrat dressed in fine clothes with a hostile face, stuck in the seat behind the soft desk, while shaking the amber liquid in the goblet in his hand, while looking lazily and standing respectfully in front of him. The two subordinates yawned and said, "Tell me, what have we done recently?"

"Hehe, Lord City Master, the campaign against the alien lords in the surrounding areas of Songluo City has gone very smoothly. There are already more than a hundred of the alien lords hidden in various places, and their subordinates led people to solve them on the spot. "

I saw a middle-aged man with a thin figure, first smiled flatteringly, and then responded: "And, according to your order, their servants were slaughtered and their mansions were burned, and they all followed them. Completely disappeared from this land."

"Very well, the more these despicable outsiders are removed, the better. It is not in vain that I sent out the elite magician squadron guarding the City Lord's Mansion."

Taking a sip of the amber liquid in the cup, the middle-aged nobleman with a hostile face nodded in satisfaction and said, "On my land, these ants of unknown origin will never be allowed to exist. Order me down, Songluo City All the soldiers in the army, once they find the alien lord, must be dealt with on the spot, leaving no one behind."

"The villain has orders, Lord City Master."

Smiling again, a chill flashed in the skinny man's eyes, and he said respectfully: "I assure you, there will never be another lord from another world in Songluo City and all nearby areas."

Hearing this, the middle-aged noble with a hostile face focused his lazy eyes on another obese man beside him, and said calmly, "How is your income this month?"

"Returning to Lord City Master, your income has been very stable."

Hearing this, the obese man bowed his chubby body, and said with a smile: "In addition to many industries inside and outside Songluo City, especially Chijian Town under the jurisdiction of Viscount Tas, it will soon be the harvest month of magic beads."

"Because some time ago, according to the plan of the city owner, the scale of breeding of the bead monsters was increased. Therefore, the income of the adults will definitely create an unprecedented new height."

After speaking, the obese man straightened his fat body with a flattering look.

"very good."

After gulping down the amber liquid in the cup, a satisfied smile appeared on the hostile face of the middle-aged nobleman, and he said lightly: "It just so happens that Marquis Ben has taken a fancy to some rare items from the dark elves recently. , now, I can finally get all of them in my pocket."

"Hey, Mr. Rocky is wise."

The obese man bowed his knees, and immediately flattered: "Back then, if your lord hadn't acted decisively and turned Chijian Town into our territory, I'm afraid we wouldn't have gotten this stable cash cow."

"Yes, yes, Master Luo Ji's strategic vision is simply rare in the world!"

Not to be outdone, the skinny man on the side also echoed.

Afterwards, a trace of worry appeared on his pale face, and he said, "However, in the past year, the population loss of Chijian Town has been very serious, which may greatly affect our efficiency."

"That's true. The Marquis has told that guy Tas many times, asking him to find a way to increase his manpower, but there has been no progress."

Putting down the goblet in his hand, Luo Ji rolled his cloudy eyes and said thoughtfully: "In this way, I am afraid that the money tree of Chijian Town will wither sooner or later."

"Lord Luo Ji, the villain has a wonderful way."

With a flattering smile, the obese man bowed slightly again, stepped forward and said: "During this time, the villain has been in a hurry, making our cells in Songluo City a little overcrowded. Why don't we escort all these prisoners to Chijian Town?"

"In this case, even if the population of Chijian Town is exhausted and it becomes an empty city, we will still have a steady stream of manpower, which can be transported. Although the lives of those untouchables are not important, our business must continue. ah."

After all, a smug expression appeared on the obese man's fleshy face.

"It seems that you guys are already prepared."

He nodded in satisfaction at the fat man, and Luo Ji showed a hint of approval on his hostile face, and said lightly: "Very well, let's do this for now. In addition, the Marquis heard that there was an internal strife in Mailan Town. , so that the strength is greatly reduced, and a new young city owner who is neither male nor female is replaced. It is a weak time, and it is a good choice to make it the second Chijian Town."

"Master Luo Ji is wise, but you are far-sighted, and the villain is ashamed."

The fat man hurriedly saluted, and continued to flatter: "If you can get rid of the new city lord and get Mailan Town, it is indeed an excellent way. In this way, not only can a large number of people be added to Chijian Town, but also can We have obtained many resources from Mailan Town, after all, it is an agricultural town, and its food production is extremely good."

"This matter should be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

I saw Luo Ji grinning sullenly, with a smug expression, as if a big deal had been negotiated.

Immediately, he pondered for a while, and said again: "By the way, our spy captain, hasn't he sent a message from Kongqing Town?"

"Go back to Lord Rocky, not yet."

The skinny man quickly bowed and said: "However, please rest assured, that guy is an old killer, and he has almost never missed a shot. If the new city lord of Kongqing Town is really a lord from another world like the rumors, I'm afraid The head of that alien lord has already been cut off."

"That would be the best. A lowly alien lord would actually occupy a city in my Lengyan Kingdom. It is an insult to us Lengyan nobles! In this land, only we are qualified Enslave the untouchables, not the guys."

With a slight nod, Rocky smiled and said darkly: "The most important thing is, if we can dedicate Princess Ariel, who escaped to Kongqing Town, to the respected Grand Prince, our real good life will be difficult." coming."

"What Lord Rocky said is absolutely true."

The obese man on the side, Sensen answered, "If you can get the further favor of His Royal Highness by killing that alien lord, that would be a perfect deal."

As he spoke, a look of reverence appeared on the fat man's fat face again: "It's just that I didn't expect that His Royal Highness, while fighting with the other two princes in the king's capital, could take care of it so quickly. This remote Kongqing Town, and Princess Ariel, I have to say, our eldest prince, His Royal Highness, really looks like a king!"

"Nonsense, behind His Highness the eldest prince, there are expert advice."

Fiddling with the crystal clear goblet on the table, Luo Ji rolled his cloudy eyes, and continued: "Although the Marquis doesn't know yet, who is the master behind His Highness the Prince?"

"However, if we can complete this matter for His Royal Highness, get rid of the lowly alien lord in Kongqing Town, and then forcefully send Ariel back to the capital, then His Royal Highness will be happy, and we will be regarded as a new dynasty The biggest hero."

After all, Rocky smiled slyly, and showed a "you understand" look at the two of them.

"Hey, following the wise Lord Luo Ji is indeed the most correct choice!"

On the other side, the skinny man and the fat man couldn't help but look at each other, their faces full of excitement.

After speaking, the three of them all laughed ferociously.

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, an anxious knock on the door suddenly came.

Under Rocky's signal, the skinny man opened the door.

A messenger who was out of breath immediately stepped into the gate, and said in panic, "Lord Luo Ji, it's not good! Chijian Town has been attacked by unknown forces, and the situation is very critical. It is said that It's someone from one of the other two princes!"

"What?!"

Hearing this, Rocky immediately stood up from the soft seat.

He slapped the luxurious desk in front of him into two pieces with one palm, and roared angrily, "How dare you hit me?!"

"Okay, you go back first."

The skinny man waved his hand slightly to the messenger, closed the door again, and said cautiously: "Lord Luo Ji, is it really one of the other two princes who attacked Chijian Town?"

"However, news came from the capital not long ago that under the strong suppression of His Royal Highness the eldest prince, the situation of the other two princes is not very stable. How could there be room to send people to attack us?"

On the other side, the fat man's fat face was full of puzzled expressions.

"Maybe the other two princes joined forces, maybe one of them hired external forces, or someone used the name of the two princes, it's still unknown."

A gloomy voice sounded, and after thinking for a while, Luo Ji said fiercely: "However, no matter what the situation is, since you dare to touch the territory of this Marquis, then this Marquis will definitely smash these attackers to pieces." Wan Duan!"

After finishing speaking, a strong violent aura burst out from the Marquis Rocky's body, causing the precious oil paintings hanging on the wall to tremble slightly.

"Don't worry, I'm already here."

At this moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded from the door.

Immediately afterwards, several proudly standing figures began to change from blurry to solid, until they clearly appeared in front of Luo Ji and the other three.

These figures were none other than Lei Xiao, Hu Zhang, Ye Cang and Chao Yan who had removed the invisibility cloak and wore the invisibility ring.

As for Bai Wei, A Ling, and A Bing, their strengths are only at the peak level of Tier 3 after all, and there is a risk of being discovered.

Therefore, they were all on standby in Songluo City and did not come together.

As for Lei Xiao, whose strength is at the third-level and eight-star level, why he can quietly appear in front of the fourth-level powerhouse, the Marquis of Rocky, is naturally because he has been sitting on the Tiger Zhang.

With the cover of a fifth-order powerhouse, it is undoubtedly impossible to detect Lei Xiao's aura.

At the same time, the powerful energy emanating from Ye Cang and Chao Yan has completely isolated the entire room from the outside world.

Seeing this, the fat man and the skinny man couldn't help but look at each other, their faces full of vigilance and shock.

You know, this is the office of the Marquis of Rocky, the most heavily guarded area in the Songluo City Lord's Mansion.

Even a considerable number of elite soldiers have already sent out to slaughter the lords of other worlds, which has greatly reduced the defense of the City Lord's Mansion.

However, being able to appear here quietly is enough to prove that these people are not ordinary people.

What's even more frightening is that, except for the young man who spoke, their strengths are all at the peak level of the third order, and they can't see through the strength of the other three.

Thinking of this, a few drops of cold sweat slipped quietly from between the foreheads of the two of them.

"Don't bother? Are you the attackers in Chijian Town?"

After being shocked, Luo Ji's cloudy eyes rolled, his face was also full of vigilance, and he said in a deep voice: "How dare you appear here!"

After finishing speaking, Rocky secretly winked at the other two beside him.

As a Tier 4 and 5 star, he clearly understood.

The strength of these intruders is obviously not to be underestimated. Being able to appear here shows that they have been prepared for a long time.

Moreover, the other party has completely sealed the entire room and cannot communicate with the outside world.

The most important thing is that the burly and strong man gave people a faint and terrifying feeling, and his strength was obviously above the fourth-order and five-star.

Therefore, the only way is undoubtedly to kill or capture the weakest young man with all his strength first, so that he can leave here through the secret door next to the fireplace when the other party is in chaos.

On the other side, the skinny man and the fat man met immediately, and murderous intent shot up in their eyes, and an impressive aura began to quietly sweep out from the two of them.

However, at this moment, a burly figure took a step ahead and suddenly disappeared in place.

In the next second, an extremely dazzling glare flashed by.

The two subordinates beside Luo Ji didn't even have time to hum, and fell to the ground.

In an instant, two pools of bright red liquid flowed out.

"Fifth-order powerhouse?!"

Seeing this scene, Luo Ji's face was full of disbelief, and the murderous look just now was gone.

He has absolutely no chance of winning against such a powerhouse at the national level!

I saw him stepping back subconsciously, and asked in panic, "You... who are you?"

"Dear Lord Marquis, didn't you send someone to my place this morning?"

Seeing Luo Ji's flustered expression, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "What? Forgot so soon? Or, do I, the lord of another world who is the city lord of Kongqing Town, terrify you so much?"

"The lord of another world? You are the rumored lord of another world?!"

Another look of disbelief appeared on Luo Ji's face, and he muttered to himself: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can a humble lord of another world possess such huge energy?!"

Lei Xiao smiled, and surrounded by the three subordinates, he took a step forward slowly, and said calmly, "My lord, the times have changed."
