Chapter 259 Upgrade! Seventh Level Lord's Mansion
In a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, Lei Xiao and others, Princess Ariel and others, held a welcome banquet in which they were very satisfied with each other.
During this process, Lei Xiao naturally would not focus entirely on the sumptuous food.
Instead, as the city lord, he used a half-threat and half-discussion tone to make further arrangements with Ariel and his party.
Inform them that without permission, they can only move around the castle, gardens and gardens in the courtyard of the city lord's mansion, and are not allowed to leave this area without permission.
Moreover, in addition to the personal maid and the two kingdom generals, the two squadrons of personal guards under his command, as well as other accompanying personnel, are also prohibited from leaving the confines of the barracks without authorization.
As for the security work of the city lord's palace and surrounding areas, it is all handled by our own elite soldiers.
Although Ariel was a little reluctant, under Lei Xiao's coercion, she finally had no choice but to compromise.
However, the only thing that left Lei Xiao speechless was that the princess's appetite was too picky.
Although Lin had hired the best chefs, bakers and bartenders in Qingzhen, she only used an understatement of "not bad" to describe her. This was because she was afraid that she would use this to make trouble. on the basis of.
"It's no wonder. After all, the other party is a member of the royal family and has the best chef in the entire Cold Flame Kingdom. Naturally, he is a bit more tricky when it comes to food."
Looking at the back of Princess Ariel not far away, Lei Xiao curled his lips helplessly, first took a big bite of the crispy and greasy frosted lamb leg in his hand, and then took a sip of the sweet and sour Double Moon Fruit Wine. .
When the banquet ended, the time had arrived unknowingly in the warm afternoon.
"The number of copper ingots pushed back should be enough. Since some of the combat power has been dispersed in Kongqing Town, then it will naturally be time to return to the territory to upgrade the mansion."
"In this way, with the new population limit, my strength will undoubtedly be further strengthened!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao, who was a little excited, did not hesitate. After arranging several maids to guide Princess Ariel and her party, they went upstairs to rest.
Then he took the other subordinates except Ye Cang, Nan Xing, and Nan Yue and galloped straight towards the territory in the forest.
……
After a hearty ride, it didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his party to successfully return to their territory in the forest.
In this process, Lei Xiao, who had already become a third-level powerhouse, did not use a mount for the first time, but used his own strength to shuttle between the dense trees.
Although the speed is slower, it is just a good opportunity to further consolidate the use of energy in the body.
Especially when the energy in his body is wrapped around his feet, even on the turbulent river, after a few attempts, Lei Xiao can almost walk on flat ground.
This feeling of floating on the water is very strange, and it really makes Lei Xiao excited for a long time.
It is worth mentioning that one of the important reasons why Lei Xiao brought the magician squadron with him when he came to Kongqing Town this morning was because the dozen or so second-level earth magicians in the team had the ability to bridge capabilities.
This allowed the second-level soldiers of the two squadrons of great swordsmen to pass through the somewhat turbulent waters.
"I have to say that the river in the west of the territory is indeed a good natural barrier. Coupled with the narrow water channel upstream, I really look forward to the day when it can come into play."
While Lei Xiao was thinking this, he ordered his subordinates to disperse and rest, while he walked straight towards the lord's mansion in the center of the territory.
Entering the spacious and bright hall of the mansion, Lei Xiao strode to the magic array.
After some skillful upgrade and decomposition operations, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a hint of joy on his face.
"Iron ingots are 5800 units, copper ingots are 5100 units, and other basic materials are enough. After such a long time, I can finally upgrade the Lord's Mansion to level 7!"
"I wonder what kind of reward I will get this time?"
Overjoyed, Lei Xiao did not hesitate. He first went back outside, directed a group of earth guardians standing guard at the door to a distance, and pressed the upgrade button impatiently.
The long-lost reminder came immediately as promised.
[You consumed stone x300000, wood x200000, thatch x120000, iron ingot x5000, copper ingot x5000]
[The Lord's Mansion is being upgraded to Lv6, please wait...]
At the same time as the sound sounded, a brilliant rainbow-colored light curtain began to rise from the ground.
In an instant, the entire mansion was completely wrapped up.
Listening to the louder and louder sounds of automatic construction inside the light curtain, an expression of anticipation suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face.
"Since so many resources have been consumed, there should be a lot of changes in the lord's mansion when it is upgraded to level 7, right?"
While looking forward to it, Lei Xiao simply sat down not far from the light curtain and leaned on an earth guardian, using it as a backrest.
Since the coverage area of the light curtain is obviously larger this time, the construction process will definitely last for a while.
Therefore, Lei Xiao did not wait, but opened the trading center.
"After the mansion is upgraded this time, there are only tens of thousands of stone reserves left. There is still a lot of wood and thatch, so let's take advantage of this time to replace some stones first."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao's eyes wandered and he started browsing the trading center interface.
After some detailed inspection, Lei Xiao noticed.
Compared with the past few days, the current exchange prices of various common wild foods, including fish, shrimps, fruits, and even World of Warcraft meat, have stabilized and have not continued to decline.
After understanding it, Lei Xiao opened several chat channels one after another.
Discover the topics that other lords are talking about, in addition to personal talent issues that are still the first priority.
The most that is left is to discuss how to reasonably allocate the hunting and production work to the farmers under his command.
"It's no wonder that although most of the lords now have the ability to hunt independently, the number of people is also increasing accordingly."
"Presumably this is the reason why food prices have not dropped significantly."
Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao reopened the trading center.
The prices of iron ore and copper ore were found to have also declined.
However, the number of exchanges listed has increased.
"It can be seen from the chat channel that some lords with exploration talents have successively discovered many unexploited mineral veins."
"The lords near some large mineral veins even organized joint excavation work, causing the daily ore mining volume to increase steadily."
"It seems like there should already be lords who have been promoted to level 4 mansions, right?"
While Lei Xiao was thinking this, he continued to check. (End of chapter)
