Chapter 445: A Delightful New Blessing

Facing the first ray of morning light, Lei Xiao went straight to the lord's office at the other end of the corridor, and began to receive today's 3 second-tier recruitment orders.

Then, after some reverse deduction, 1200 units of copper ingots, and other derivatives such as copper ore and wood were obtained.

"Currently, I have 800 units of iron ingots, 7300 units of copper ingots, and the resources needed to upgrade the mansion next time are 10,000 units of copper and iron ingots each."

After checking the resource reserves, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

"After the mansions of the five lords including Su Ru were upgraded to level 5, the output of copper and iron ingots has reached 7,200 units per day. That is to say, within two days, the quantity of copper and iron ingots is completely enough."

"If that's the case, let's make up for the copper ingots we need today, and then go all out to produce iron ingots."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao first set his manufacturing sequence to produce an exquisite scythe.

Immediately, the trading channel was opened, and the 2400 units of copper ore and 2400 units of wood required for a day's production were given to Su Ru and Su Mo respectively, and told them to produce exquisite sickles to produce copper ingots.

In addition, 2400 units of iron ore and 2400 units of wood were given to Sun Qi, Zhao Lu and Zhang Shan respectively, and told them to produce exquisite logging axes to produce iron ingots.

After finishing all of this, Lei Xiao casually received a city return crystal for today.

"The city return crystal has already saved 7 yuan and has not been upgraded, so it should be upgraded directly."

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao started to upgrade directly.

[Congratulations, your "City Return Crystal" has been upgraded to a "City Return Crystal" for 100 yuan! 】

[Congratulations, your "City Return Crystal" has been upgraded to a "Transportation Crystal"! 】

【Congratulations, your "City Return Crystal"...】

Following a series of familiar prompts, Lei Xiao finally obtained 200 city return crystals and 5 teleportation crystals.

"Currently, the number of return crystals is 596, and the number of transfer crystals is 9?"

After checking the reserves of the two types of crystals, Lei Xiao nodded slightly: "It is completely enough at this stage."

At this moment, Lei Xiao's private message reminder suddenly rang.

Out of curiosity, Lei Xiao opened the private message interface and found that the person who sent the message was Shen Banxia.

"Good morning, Boss Xiaoshen! What a sunny day! Today, the content of my blessing is refreshed with illusion items. I don't know if Boss Xiaoshen needs it?"

Looking at the words on the content of the private message, Lei Xiao suddenly pondered.

"At that time, when I received the blessing for the first time in Shen Banxia's territory, the type was an illusion item."

I saw Lei Xiao's eyes blurred, apparently caught in memories.

"I remember that I gave the other party an invisibility cloak, and finally got a good effect of "completely concealing breath". "

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and continued to think.

"You should know that although the invisibility cloak can completely hide the figure of any powerhouse below the fourth-level nine-star level visually, it cannot completely hide its own breath, so that the opponent may still be aware of the wearer through this. The presence."

"And with this blessing effect, it is equivalent to completely avoiding the energy detection of any powerhouse below the fourth-level nine-star! Of course, the premise is that no sound can be made."

"This blessing effect has undoubtedly greatly improved the practicality of that invisibility cloak!"

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing curiosity again.

"If you bless the same invisibility cloak again, what effect will it have this time?"

Out of curiosity, Lei Xiao traded a brand new invisibility cloak to Shen Banxia.

Not long after, with the sound of "ding", Shen Banxia's private message came into Lei Xiao's eyes again: "Master Xiaoshen, I have already blessed you, please check it!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

After re-trading the invisibility cloak, Lei Xiao immediately extracted it into the wooden storage box beside him.

While taking it out, the property bar of the brand new cloak was opened.

[Name: Blessed Invisibility Cloak]

[Grade: Tier 4 Epic (Purple)]

[Defense Strength: None]

[Additional effect: fourth-order invisibility technique "can hide the figure after wearing it, and also has the effect of concealing aura, effective for fourth-order and below strong people"]

[Blessing effect: Tier 5 concealment technique "After wearing it, you can completely hide your body shape and aura, and it will take effect on powerhouses of Tier 5 and below"]

[Remarks: The invisibility cloak enchanted by a legendary fifth-level illusionist can be used in any environment, but please be careful not to make strange noises. 】

"Fifth-level concealment technique? Can it completely hide body shape and aura? Isn't this a combination of invisibility technique and concealment technique?"

Looking at the text description on the attribute column, Lei Xiao's face was full of surprise.

Lei Xiao nodded excitedly while stroking the cold silk cloak in his hand.

"You know, although the ordinary invisibility cloak is very effective, it is only a fourth-level invisibility technique after all. It only has special effects on the powerhouses of the fourth-level and nine-star powerhouses. For the fifth-level powerhouses, the effect is extremely poor. According to the knotweed, The flaws can be clearly seen visually, just like the reflection in the water."

Feeling the coolness brought by the cloak, Lei Xiao continued to think.

"And this blessing effect can undoubtedly make the powerful fifth-order powerhouses not notice any clues!"

"For me, this will definitely play a huge role!"

"After all, whether I am facing the Lengyan royal family or a mysterious organization, the possibility of me encountering a fifth-order powerhouse will greatly increase."

"It is not difficult to see from this that whether it is to hide strength as a hole card or to track at this stage, compared with the first one before, this second blessed invisibility cloak will be more practical!"

Overjoyed, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction at first, then fell into deep thought.

"By the way, although the "completely hidden breath" of the first blessed cloak has no marked effective range, after previous experiments, the knotweed can't detect it, which undoubtedly means that the effect is also effective for fifth-order powerhouses . "

"If this range can take effect up to the sixth level, then the role of the first blessed invisibility cloak should not be underestimated from the point of view of concealing aura alone."

Lei Xiao put the blessed invisibility cloak back into the space bracelet, and nodded in satisfaction.

"All in all, whether it is the first blessed invisibility cloak or the second blessed invisibility cloak, it will play a huge role that cannot be ignored for me!"

"Shen Banxia has made a lot of contributions this time, so naturally he has to reward him well."

Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and then directly traded the resources needed to upgrade the mansion from level 3 to level 5 with the other party.

This girl's talent is extremely important, and on the edge of the territory, there is still the ruins of the light elves that have not been fully explored, so she needs to monitor it.

Therefore, expanding its population from the existing 50 to 200 can obviously further strengthen its survivability, so as to better assist itself.

Of course, the production of its own copper and iron ingots will also increase further.

"Boss Xiaoshen, what are you...?!"

On the far side, Shen Banxia, ​​who saw a large amount of upgrade resources traded by Lei Xiao, was sitting on a wooden stool at the entrance of the mansion, his slender eyelashes flickered, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

"These are my rewards this time."

Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then typed in a private message: "However, there is a small additional condition."

Then, Lei Xiao told Shen Banxia about the same things that Su Ru and other five lords had created for him.

"Please don't worry, Mister Xiaoshen. Anyway, my manufacturing magic circle is idle most of the time. All of this is naturally no problem!!!"

Shen Banxia's reply was sent over immediately, and she used three exclamation marks to express her excitement.

In this way, the development speed of her territory is undoubtedly ahead of most lords! You can also recruit more powerful second-tier elite subordinates!

"That's it for now, see you later."

After typing the last line, Lei Xiao closed the private message and walked out of the lord's office.

Following the spiral staircase all the way down, Lei Xiao soon came to the hall on the first floor of the lord's mansion.

"Good morning, my lord!"

The old butler Ward, who had already cleaned the hall to a new look, immediately greeted him with several maids, bowing and saluting together.

"Morning, everyone has worked hard."

While drinking the black tea handed by the maid, Lei Xiao walked out of the lord's mansion after listening to Ward's talent show.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate, a gust of fresh air mixed with the fragrance of plants rushed towards his face, which made Lei Xiao's spirit involuntarily lifted.

Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a pair of lavender magic wings emerged from behind.

With the flapping of the wings, Lei Xiao directly soared into the air from the spot, and slowly suspended in mid-air.

Facing the early morning sun, Lei Xiao looked around from a commanding height.

It was found that both the east and west gates, as well as the towering city walls around the territory, had obviously been completely completed.

Under the light of the morning light, the armor and weapons of the subordinates who were standing guard on the city wall shone with silver light, making everything full of the medieval sense of simplicity.

"Not bad, this way, the defensive ability of the territory will be raised to another level!"

Overjoyed, Lei Xiao's magic wings vibrated and began to slowly fly in the territory.

After some inspection, Lei Xiao noticed further.

The smell of cement in the territory has almost completely dissipated, and the cement smoothed in the gaps of each fortress has already been completely integrated with the fortress, which seems to fit perfectly.

"As expected of the magical cement that is said to be harder than stone after solidification, and even resistant to magic attacks, I didn't pay a lot of money to buy it."

Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao moved his eyes and continued to observe.

The five canteens in the southeast of the territory have also been completely remodeled, and the aroma of cooking food has also been emitted from the large kitchen next to it.

"Each of the newly built canteens can accommodate 200 people, that is, the subordinates of the two squadrons can eat at the same time, which is undoubtedly enough at this stage."

Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, muttering to himself.

"In this way, the soldiers no longer need to eat in the open air. It has to be said that the infrastructure of the territory is really getting better and better."

Feeling relieved, Lei Xiao landed slowly, then opened the subordinate interface of the territory, and began to check.

"Currently, my direct subordinate elite soldiers have a total of nine second-tier squadrons with a full set of third-tier equipment."

"In addition to two squadrons of great swordsmen and a squadron of magicians deployed in Kongqing Town, two squadrons of shadows have spread to the entire eastern area of ​​Lengyan."

I saw Lei Xiao's dark eyes moving, carefully inspecting the subordinate interface, and nodded thoughtfully.

"In addition to these five elite squadrons, there are also two heavy shield shooter squadrons capable of both offense and defense, a heavy guard squadron good at defense, and a peasant squadron full of longbows in the territory."

"Of course, there is also a squadron of werewolf warriors and a squadron of half-elf archers, both of which are equipped with a full set of Tier 3 equipment. That is to say, there are six Tier 2 elite squadrons as the core force for defending the territory at this stage?"

Lei Xiao was lost in thought while pacing slowly in the territory.

"In addition to Ward and Rudy and other ten-person third-tier powerhouse teams, as well as the third-tier pterodactyl knight squad that can be supported at any time, Xueya who has been promoted to fourth-tier and the two alchemists Faxia who are at the peak of third-tier, And the new illusionist Xiaoya..."

"With such a defensive force, coupled with the two surrounding subservient races, unless the fifth-order powerhouse arrives, even an ordinary army of 10,000 people will never easily attack the territory!"

Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction, and said to himself in his heart.

"Of course, there are also the Tower of Illusion that can attack extraordinarily, and the Light Healing Station that can heal at any time, which can further increase the continuous defense ability of the territory. The most important thing is that in just one minute, I can use the city return crystal to quickly Back to help."

Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, and continued to think while casually looking at the elite soldiers not far away who had been exercising for a while.

"Then again, if the mansion can be upgraded to another level, it will undoubtedly unlock more population caps and further enhance the combat power of the territory."

"In addition to the main resources needed for upgrading, the problem of copper and iron ingots has been solved, that is to say, the problem is only the 2000 units of steel ingots."

Lei Xiao pondered and nodded slightly, thinking in his heart.

"In addition to Fang Hai's ongoing construction, I have to emphasize it again when I have a meeting later, ordering the subordinates in various places to step up the acquisition of weapons made of fine steel ingots. Be sure to fight for them. Tomorrow, when the number of copper and iron ingots is sufficient, we will It is to start upgrading the mansion directly!"

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao sniffed the increasingly rich smell of butter in the air, then took a step and walked towards the big cafeteria area where dinner was ready to be served.

Although the environment in the restaurant of the mansion is more comfortable, Lei Xiao still decided to lead all the main subordinates to eat in the canteens of different squadrons every day.

In this way, not only can the morale of the soldiers be improved, but also the newly joined main subordinates such as Hong Ye and Xiaoya can better integrate into the environment of the territory as soon as possible.

Strolling to the big dining hall, Lei Xiao finished the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Rudy and other chefs.

According to the usual practice, all the main subordinates and the squadron commander were gathered together in the hall of the lord's mansion.

Then, of course, it's time to schedule your day's work.
