Chapter 321 Unexpected gains and new allegiance【5K】
After a while, a group of main subordinates came outside the hall again, in front of Lei Xiao who was looking up at the white snow peaks.
"Lord, the headquarters of the mine defense team has been completely cleaned up. Currently, Nate is leading the Magnet Town defense team to carry out the final cleaning work."
I saw the sturdy tiger stick take a step forward, caressing his chest and saluting: "Moreover, my subordinates also found this on the fourth-level strong man who came at the end."
After finishing speaking, Huzhang leaned down and respectfully handed a mottled silver ring in front of Lei Xiao.
"Oh? It seems that the real purpose of the fourth-level powerhouse I have never met is to come all the way to give us gifts."
Slowly looking back, Lei Xiao took the ring with a hint of space energy fluctuation, raised his eyebrows, and opened the attribute bar.
[Name: Eye of Dawn] (unbound)
[Grade: Second level fine (green)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional effect: "Any object without life can be stored and taken out at will, the space capacity is 20 cubic meters"]
[Note: This is a storage ring of unknown race. Over the years, it has lost its original luster and lost some of its functions.
However, as a storage ring, it still plays its original role. 】
"This seems to be a storage ring from a race other than the human race."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but look thoughtful and murmured to himself: "Well, let's complete the identification first and see what loot is inside."
Without hesitation, he started bleeding and binding directly.
Immediately, a familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, the binding is successful! You have become the new owner of "Eye of Dawn (Level 2 Excellent)"! 】
After some inspection, Lei Xiao noticed.
In the ring, in addition to more than 200,000 golden dragons, there is a second-level magic medicine formula, three second-level magic medicines, and several materials for refining magic medicine.
"Including the previous stock, has the number of golden dragons on my body now exceeded one million again?"
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao continued to check.
It was discovered that the magic potion formula was a formula called Energy Condensing Pill. It had the same effect as the Qi Condensing Pill, and it was also a type that permanently enhanced strength.
The three second-level magic potions are all healing types.
Start the upgrade directly.
[Congratulations, your "Second-Level Magic Potion Formula: Energy Condensing Pill" has been upgraded to "Third-Level Magic Potion Formula: Double Moon Condensing Pill"! 】
【Congratulations, your...】
……
"Successfully upgraded to the third-level magic potion formula?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao's face suddenly showed a hint of joy and he began to check.
Judging from the attribute column, the effect of this Double Moon Concentrating Pill is the same as the Rose Condensing Pill that I currently own.
However, compared to the two systems of physics and magic, the third-level rose energy gathering pill is more versatile.
The third-level Double Moon Energy Condensing Pill has a more significant improvement effect and adaptability effect on those who are strong in the physics department.
"This is good stuff!"
Overjoyed, Lei Xiao rubbed his hands excitedly and continued to think.
Before that, I already had the formula for the third-level star pattern magic pill.
Although this kind of magic potion has the same effect as the Rose Condensation Pill and the Double Moon Condensation Pill, both of which can permanently enhance strength, it is more effective on magic-based experts.
And this newly obtained formula of the Double Moon Energy Concentrating Pill undoubtedly makes up for his shortcomings in physical aspects and strength-enhancing potions.
As a result, I already have both the physical system and the magic system, two third-level exclusive magic potion formulas that permanently enhance strength!
"In this case, if we first collect the materials for refining and then upgrade to the fourth-level magic potion..."
"Then, as long as we carry out targeted refining, the third-level peak experts under my command, whether they are from the physics or magic system, will naturally have greater hope of breaking through their shackles and entering the fourth level!"
While being excited, Lei Xiao noticed again.
As for the three second-level healing potions, they were upgraded to 200 second-level magic potions and 1 third-level magic potion.
Transfer all these upgraded items, as well as the remaining useful alchemy materials, to the space bracelet.
Lei Xiao cleared out other debris in the ring, and then directly began to upgrade the storage ring itself.
[Congratulations, your "Second-Level Accessory: Eye of Dawn" has been upgraded to "Level 4 Accessory: Eye of Dawn"! 】
"Good guy, has it been directly upgraded to the fourth level? However, the name has not changed. It seems that it should be the same as the previous space bracelet. After upgrading, this storage ring has returned to its original peak state."
Lei Xiao's mind moved, and the upgraded storage ring reappeared on his palm.
Facing the bright sunshine, Lei Xiao noticed.
The outline of this ring has not changed in any way.
It's just that the mottled surface has regained a brand-new luster, as if it had just been made.
"Is that true?"
Seeing this, Lei Xiao reopened the ring's attribute bar.
【Name: Eye of Dawn】
[Level: Level 4 Epic (Purple)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional effect 1: The finger on the space "can store and take out any objects without life breath at will, the space capacity is 100 cubic meters"]
[Additional effect two: Eye of Dawn "increases the wearer's perception of invisibility and stealth within a five-meter range of the self"]
[Note: Dawn is approaching, the darkness recedes, and a new dawn comes, which will show you and me a new path.
This is a storage ring whose race is unknown. It is currently in the best condition. Wearing it, you may get unexpected gains. 】
"The 100 cubic meters of storage space is not very attractive to me, but the newly added second additional effect is very practical."
While putting the ring on, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
In this way, I will obviously have stronger perception and resistance against strong men who are good at sneaking and can be invisible!
"Not bad, not bad. Coupled with the golden pupil that was previously blessed by Shen Banxia (increasing illusion resistance), it's like I carry a small "Eye of Insight" barrier with me. ”
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this with joy, not far away, the crisp sound of armor clashing sounded.
I saw Nate bringing several Magnet Town garrison commanders and quickly came closer and said: "Master Qi, this mine garrison headquarters is completely under our control!"
“Very good.”
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Before arriving at the headquarters of the mine guard team, the group, with Nate's cooperation, had already eliminated all opponents in the mining area and at the city gate.
At this point, more than half of the minions of the Magnet City Lord, the two elite second-level mine guard squadrons, have been eliminated.
"Sir, before going to the City Lord's Mansion, can you go to the dungeon to rescue the imprisoned city officials? Not long ago, my clan brother, who was the City Lord's deputy, was imprisoned because he dissuaded the City Lord. His life and death are now uncertain."
Immediately afterwards, Nate stroked his chest and saluted, and his worry-laden voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
"Well, with the cooperation of officials, the original functions of the city can be restored faster."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao made a departure gesture to the subordinates who were already ready to go.
……
Tick tock, tick tock.
In a dark, damp dungeon, a thin male figure huddled alone in the corner.
Around him, groundwater dripped down through the low, moss-covered stone ceiling, mixing with soil and blood, forming small murky puddles one after another.
Looking at the puddle on the ground, the thin man sighed softly, his eyes full of helplessness and melancholy.
At this moment, a member of the mine guard team holding a torch slowly came over.
With a "click" of keys unlocking, the cell door was opened.
"How is it? Lord Ned, how do we feel here?"
A joking voice sounded, and the member of the mine guard holding a whip in his hand sneered: "Are you ready to accept today's punishment?"
"You bastards!"
The thin man raised his head, revealing a pale and haggard face covered with beard and a scarred body.
Because the flames of the torch were too dazzling, the thin man blinked several times in succession before he gradually adapted to the sudden light.
"It seems that Lord Ned still hasn't received enough lessons."
Swinging the whip in his hand, the member of the guard team with a grin on his face slowly walked over and continued: "How about it? If you choose to join our mine guard team, you will be reborn."
"Dream! I will never collude with you guys who do all kinds of evil!"
Although the thin man was covered with bruises, his eyes were still sharp and he said angrily: "I believe that one day, Magnet Town will usher in a new light!"
"Hahaha, our Lord Ned is still so naive."
Under the flickering firelight, the faces of the members of the mine guard team were covered with shadows, and their smiles became more ferocious.
He continued to taunt: "With whom? With your timid and fearful garrison commander Nate? I might as well tell you that his end is not far away! I believe that it won't be long before this city will be completely controlled." It’s in our hands!”
Having said this, the member of the mine guard smiled sternly and threatened coldly: "If you continue to be ignorant of current affairs, I won't mind killing you with my own hands!"
"Stop dreaming, you guys with blood on your hands will be punished by God sooner or later!"
The thin man stood up slowly against the wall and looked directly into the other person's eyes.
"God's punishment? Stop being ridiculous. I have been running rampant in Magnet Town for several years. Why hasn't he come yet?"
Hearing this, the dark face of the member of the mine guard team became a little more arrogant, and he laughed.
At this moment, a dazzling fatal trajectory flashed past.
The laughter of the mine guard stopped suddenly, and he fell down with a look of shock on his face.
On the other side, as the tiger stick put away the dragon-slaying giant sword, the dazzling light crystal lit up.
Lei Xiao slowly walked out of the light and said calmly to the corpse on the ground: "Sorry, he is here now."
"Cousin Ned, we're here to save you!"
Immediately afterwards, Nate rushed over, picked up the keys on the ground, and untied the chains wrapped around the thin man.
"Cousin Nate, who is this gentleman...?"
Seeing Lei Xiao surrounded by the main subordinates exuding monstrous momentum, Ned, who was the deputy to the Lord of Magnet Town, was overjoyed and said with a look of disbelief.
"Cousin Ned, here's the thing..."
Immediately, Nate, who was the commander of the Magnet Town garrison, briefly described to Ned the ins and outs of how Lei Xiao and his party came to Magnet Town.
"So, the Lord of the City of Kongqing Town is not only here to help the residents of Kongqing Town, but also to help the residents of Cishi Town?"
After hearing this, he was stunned for a while.
Ned's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he quickly knelt down on one knee towards Lei Xiao and said: "Ned, please see the Lord of the City of Kongqing Town! I am extremely grateful to the Lord of the City for rescuing me, otherwise it wouldn't have taken long. Time, I’m afraid I’m going to die here.”
"No need to be polite, Your Excellency Ned."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao frowned as he looked at Ned, who was full of scars, and then asked: "I wonder how you ended up like this?"
"Well, to be honest with you, I just wanted to help the residents in the city to get some food, but I offended our city lord."
Shaking his head helplessly, Ned sighed heavily.
Then responded: "In recent years, the temper of our Lord of Magnet Town has become increasingly weird, especially this year, to the point where he no longer shows his face and only talks to us servants through a giant screen. ”
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao first helped the other party up, and then asked: "Do you know the reason why the Lord of Magnet City no longer shows up?"
"I don't know."
Ned shook his head slightly. Due to the injuries on his body, Ned's expression was a little painful, and he continued: "However, what is certain is that the voice of the Lord of the City has not changed, but he is unwilling to show his true face."
"I see. It seems that we have to uncover the truth ourselves."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, looking at the bruised Ned, Lei Xiao's mind moved.
A third-level light healing magic scroll obtained from the elven ruins suddenly appeared on the palm of his hand.
Immediately, a holy golden light lit up, illuminating the entire dark cell like daylight.
A large number of energy particles filled with healing power were all attached to the blood-stained Ned.
In an instant, the inflamed wounds on Ned's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, and some even returned to their original state without leaving any traces.
"This is a healing magic scroll?! It seems that the level is not low..."
Feeling the constant warmth, Ned had a look of disbelief on his face.
He never thought that the city lord of Kongqing Town would use such valuable items without hesitation to him, an official from the outer city whom he met for the first time!
At this moment, there was a contrast between the ruthless Magnet City Lord who had imprisoned him here.
Ned's heart was full of thoughts, and his body began to tremble slightly due to excitement.
In any case, Magnet Town, which has been shrouded in darkness, finally ushered in the light before dawn!
"Lord Qi, all officials of Magnet Town have been rescued."
After a while, Lin's sassy voice came out from her words.
"Okay, if that's the case, then we should go and meet the Lord of Magnet City for a while."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
"Sir, please wait a moment!"
At this moment, Nate and Ned's voices rang out almost at the same time.
Turning around, Lei Xiao noticed.
The two brothers knelt down on one knee again and lowered their heads deeply.
"Sir, we are willing to swear allegiance to you to the death! Please take charge of Magnet Town and save Magnet Town!"
Immediately afterwards, the two men's unwavering voices reached Lei Xiao's ears again.
"It seems it's time to tell you my true identity."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
In this way, he informed Nate and Ned of his identity as an alien lord, after consuming a second-level recruitment order and a third-level recruitment order.
A familiar prompt soon rang in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, the third-level two-star shield-breaking warrior Nate Ruishi has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
[Congratulations, the second-level three-star rock and soil magician Ned Ruishi has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
After leaning down and helping the two of them up in turn, Lei Xiao couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on his face.
Originally, the original purpose of my trip was just to bring back the family of Maid Xinghui and the residents of Kongqing Town, and to find out some information about Magnet Town in case of emergency.
But from now on, it seems that the entire Magnet Town will soon be under his control.
"Although this is a desolate city, with the support of my strong financial resources, I believe it will soon regain its former vitality."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately opened the attribute bar of the two people in front of him.
【Name: Nate】
[Occupation: Shield Breaker]
[Level: Level 3, Two Stars]
【Loyalty: 100】
[Skill 1: Heavy Hammer Bombardment "Active" (physical single target attack, additional shield-breaking effect)]

[Skill 3: Warhammer Mastery "Passive" (when using the warhammer, the damage is slightly increased)]
【Name: Ned】

[Skill 2: Earth Fortress "Active" (earth attribute defense spell, with outstanding effect on earthy terrain)]
[Skill Three: Mastering Earth Attribute Magic "Passive" (When using Earth Attribute Magic, the damage will be slightly increased)]
After closing the attribute bar of the two of them, Lei Xiao smiled calmly and said: "Then, let's take a closer look at what kind of secrets are hidden behind the Magnet City Lord who would rather sacrifice the entire city to mine at all costs. .”
"Yes! Lord!"
Hearing this, all the new and old subordinates touched their chests and saluted at the same time, and bowed to Lei Xiao. (End of chapter)
