Chapter 444 The Current Situation and Plan
It was the Nanxing Nanyue sisters who had been stationed in Kongqing Town some time ago that Lei Xiao called over.
Because the two fourth-tier kingdom generals Burt and Jubai beside Ariel have been successfully subdued.
In addition, the detection barrier of the "Pupil of Insight" in the City Lord's Mansion of Kongqing Town has also been built and put into operation smoothly.
Under the cover of the magic enchantment, if an unknown spy sneaks into the City Lord's Mansion, Lin, Guanzhong and others in Kongqing Town will definitely notice it immediately.
Therefore, naturally, the twin sisters are no longer needed, and they will continue to stay there.
"See Lord Lord!"
Not long after, Nan Xing Nanyue, who was petite and exquisite, appeared in front of Lei Xiao, and both of them bowed in salute.
"Excuse me."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then handed over 1350 Qi Condensation Pills to the two of them, asking them to pass them on to Lin in Kongqing Town.
"Besides, I still have some things that you need to give to Lin."
With a thought, Lei Xiao handed over all the ordinary valuables he had obtained from Wang Xi and Luo Ji to the two of them.
Currently, Lei Xiao still has more than 7.3 million Golden Dragons, so it can be said that he has a huge amount of funds in his hands.
However, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
With future actions and even wars, the places that need funds will inevitably increase further.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly an imminent matter to secretly dispose of these useless valuables and exchange them for a large number of golden dragons.
"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!"
After putting all the items into the storage ring, the twin sisters stroked their chests and saluted, saying in unison.
"You just need to deliver it, and I will talk to Lin directly about other things."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, nodded and said.
Watching the twin sisters leave, Lei Xiao contacted Lin in Kongqing Town in a word, and told her everything about the Qi Condensation Pill and the secret handling of valuables.
For Lin, who runs a Shanglu trade fair, it is naturally not a problem to secretly handle these valuables through various unconventional channels.
After dealing with all this, Lei Xiao first poured himself a cup of herbal tea, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he called Hong Ye over again.
"See Lord Lord!" A moment later, Hong Ye, dressed in a red dress, appeared in front of Lei Xiao and saluted respectfully.
"Hong Ye, you don't need to be polite in private."
Lei Xiao motioned for the dragon woman to sit aside, and then with a serious expression, he told her all about the latest situation around the territory, the confrontation with the mysterious organization, and what he had seen and heard recently.
"I didn't expect the environment around the territory to be so severe."
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Hong Ye's fair face also showed an awe-inspiring look: "My lord, regardless of other things, just the mysterious organization with at least seven fifth-tier powerhouses is enough to control the territory. It's a huge threat."
"That's right. Fortunately, the current location of the territory has not been exposed, which means that although the other party is hiding in the dark, we are also in the dark."
Lei Xiao still had a serious expression on his face, nodded to Hong Ye and said, "From the analysis of the words used by the other party's "Lengyan Branch" and "Holy Night Branch", the scope of activities of the mysterious organization covers at least Lengyan and Shengye are two countries, but I think things are far from that simple. "
"It is very likely that this is a huge organization that spans the entire human kingdom, and its powerful people are like clouds, and its power can be called monstrous."
Lei Xiao stared at the empty wooden cup in his hand thoughtfully, and said in a deep thought: "On this point, only the No. 7 black-robed man from the fifth-level powerhouse of the mysterious organization that emerged from the Lengyan area can also prove it."
After a pause, Lei Xiao added: "From what I've learned, most of these unknown powerhouses working for the mysterious organization are vicious and vicious people from various countries. aristocratic class, which further proves the horror of this organization."
"My lord's analysis is very reasonable."
Hong Ye's slender eyelashes flickered, and she agreed with her eyebrows: "As far as I know, since the end of the blank era, the wars among the human nations have never completely stopped, and this has directly led to constant conflicts among various countries."
"Under such circumstances, it is unbelievable that a huge mysterious organization that can win over all powerful people from all over the world, even princes and nobles, will appear. Such means undoubtedly far exceed the royal family of a country."
Hong Ye nodded to Lei Xiao, and continued to frowned and said: "From this point of view, the opponent's power is even stronger than what has been shown so far, and we must not underestimate it."
"That's right, what makes people more concerned is the actions the other party is taking."
Lei Xiao put down his usual wooden cup, and thoughtfully said: "Whether it is from the ruins of the light elves, the ruins of the ancient battlefield, or from the fact that they wanted to snatch the Eternal Night Magic Box at any cost in Fanyin City Look, the other party is obviously purposeful, looking for some ancient items in these places that were destroyed in the blank age three thousand years ago."
"What the lord said is very true. If we can figure this out, it will be a great gain for us."
On Hong Ye's fair face, there was also a hint of pondering, and she frowned and said: "From the reckless killing and cruel methods of the other party, it is not difficult to see that the other party is very likely planning some terrifying conspiracy."
"It's a pity that the members of these mysterious organizations are like dead soldiers, and they don't even have the chance to be tortured."
Lei Xiao remembered Mu Tong's frenzied performance before, and curled his lips helplessly.
"The members of these mysterious organizations are obviously given some kind of forbidden spell to prevent telling the truth, or similar curse spells."
Hong Ye pondered and nodded at first, and then smiled and said: "Please don't worry too much, Lord Lord. It won't be long before we can grasp new information about the mysterious organization."
I saw a flash of awe in Hong Ye's starry eyes, and continued: "In addition, please rest assured, my lord, even if the other party has 7 fifth-level powerhouses, as long as there are subordinates by my lord's side, We will never let these scumbags take a step closer to the lord!"
"With you and Polygonum cuspidatum here, I'm naturally much at ease."
Lei Xiao nodded with a smile and replied.
"By the way, my lord, there is still one thing I don't know about my subordinates."
Hong Ye's eyes fluttered, and he seemed to remember something, and asked: "Since the target of this mysterious organization is the ancient ruins, why didn't you go to the ruins of the Titan tribe next to Fanyin City this morning?"
"You know, even though the city lord Fanyin has deployed heavy guards around the ruins, there is still no problem for the fifth-level powerhouses to come and go freely."
Hong Ye frowned again, with a puzzled expression on her face: "At that time, the other party even dared to break into the auction in Fanyin City, so there should be no reason to give up this ruin of the Titan tribe."
"After leaving the ruins, I have been thinking about this issue."
Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, paced slowly, and pondered: "The only answer I can think of is the reason why the mysterious organization voluntarily gave up this ruin, and that is that the other party must be planning a A bigger conspiracy! And the importance of that conspiracy is far higher than the ruins of the Titans in Fanyin City!"
"Hearing what the lord said, it seems to be true."
Hong Ye also stood up from her seat, walked up to Lei Xiao and said, "But what exactly is the other party going to do?"
"It's unknown at the moment, but it's conceivable that it's never going to be a good thing."
Lei Xiao frowned, and responded: "However, since the knotweed appeared as a powerful member of the Lengyan royal family at the auction, the next actions of the mysterious organization must be more or less restrained. After all, the relationship between the two , which is also a contradictory relationship.”
"Of course, there is no doubt that one of the three princes has joined the mysterious organization."
Lei Xiao looked directly into the starry eyes of the dragon girl in front of him again, and asked again: "Speaking of which, Hong Ye, what do you think about the overall situation facing the territory at present?"
"Returning to Lord Lord, in fact, the subordinate's thoughts coincide with what Lord Lord has always done."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Hongye Zhu said slightly, "At this stage, the main threats facing the territory are undoubtedly the two major forces, the mysterious organization and the Lengyan royal family."
"When the wings are not yet full, a direct conflict with any party will inevitably lead to the other party taking advantage of the vacancy."
"After all, neither the mysterious organization nor the Lengyan royal family will allow a new force to appear on this land, which will threaten the actions and hegemony of the two."
"This point, from what the Lord Lord mentioned, both of them have launched large and small bloody sieges against other alien Lords, and we can get a glimpse of it."
"So, what we need to do is to be a fisherman, not to be either a snipe or a clam."
Hong Ye's black eyebrows frowned slightly, she pondered for a while, and added: "If you must have a local conflict with one of the two, just like what the lord did, you must try your best to keep the other party's sight , concentrate on another opponent."
"That's right, but what happened to the Marquis of Rocky must have aroused the vigilance of the eldest prince."
Lei Xiao nodded to Hong Ye, and said in a deep voice: "It is conceivable that once the other party wins the power struggle in the capital, they will send troops to attack Kongqing Town without any worries, and then have a full-scale war with the territory." , and sooner or later.”
"Maybe this time may be faster than we thought."
Hong Ye's expression also became awe-inspiring, and echoed.
"Therefore, we must find the opportunity as soon as possible to subdue Ariel first."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "Then, with the help of Ariel's status and influence as the fifth princess, win over some other cities in the surrounding area, and further strengthen the strength of the territory, as a capital against the Lengyan royal family."
"Your lord is right. There is a motto in the Dragon Clan, which says that only a dragon that is prepared for a rainy day can resist the thunderstorms and strong winds in the sky."
Hong Ye nodded thoughtfully, and added: "No matter which side wins the battle for Leng Yan's capital, it will definitely not let go of Leng Yan's fifth princess who also has the right to inherit. Including the lord standing behind it."
I saw Hong Ye's slender eyelashes flickering, as if recalling some unbearable past events, and a touch of sadness appeared on her fair face.
However, this gloom was fleeting, and Hong Ye's sassy cheeks quickly returned to normal.
All of this naturally did not escape Lei Xiao's eyes.
However, Lei Xiao would not take the initiative to ask about the past events that the other party was unwilling to bring up for the time being. Instead, he changed the subject and said with a smile, "Hong Ye, after chatting with you, I have a clear idea of what to do next. A lot."
"Being able to solve problems for the lord is what the subordinates should do."
Hong Ye also smiled, waved her hands and said, "This is also an honor for my subordinates."
"I believe that as long as we continue to walk side by side, whether it is the true face of the mysterious organization and the motivation for searching for unknown items, or the mysterious blank era, everything will be cleared up."
Lei Xiao looked at the dimness still remaining in the other party's star pupils, and said gently, "Let's call it a day, go back and rest early."
"Obey! Your lord!"
Hong Ye stroked her chest in salute, and bowed to accept her orders.
When Hong Ye left, Lei Xiao returned to the throne, lost in thought again.
"By the way, there is one more important thing!"
"Since I have successfully subdued Hong Ye, who is a master of both magic and martial arts, it undoubtedly means that the door of immortality, which was sealed with the fifth-level magic prohibition in the abandoned mine of Songlin City, has opened to me for a long time. .”
Rubbing his hands together excitedly, Lei Xiao's expression was full of anticipation: "I don't know what kind of secret is hidden behind the door? It seems that the answer will be revealed tomorrow!"
As Lei Xiao thought about it, he stood up again and walked up the spiral staircase.
It was late, and naturally it was time to go to bed.
It didn't take long for Lei Xiao to return to his lord's suite on the third floor.
After some washing, he changed into a set of new pajamas just washed by the third-tier maids. Feeling sleepy, Lei Xiao lay directly on the soft big bed.
"I have to say that although the outside environment is not bad, my mansion is the most comfortable and reassuring."
With a sigh in his heart, Lei Xiao took off the shining light spar on the bedside table, making the whole room suddenly dark.
After a while, with the sound of steady breathing, Lei Xiao quickly fell asleep.
...
In the early morning of the next day, when the sky was hazy and the sun had not yet risen.
Lei Xiao stretched, and sat up from the bed energetically.
With a movement of his mind, a rose energy-concentrating pill surrounded by a strange fragrance appeared on the palm of his hand.
Looking at the extremely familiar mellow potion in his hand, Lei Xiao swallowed it on his back without hesitation, and started his daily morning routine of training.
A period of time passed, and when Lei Xiao closed his eyes and focused his attention, he opened them again, and a look of joy appeared on his face.
Now, the magic energy vortex has reached another level, reaching the third-order six-star level!
"I feel that the magic power on my body has become much stronger."
Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao immediately jumped off the bed and began to wash.
It didn't take long for him to walk out of the door of the lord's suite, dressed neatly.
Today's task is naturally to explore the long-awaited gate of immortality!
