Chapter 378 Sir, times have changed
Songluo City City Lord's Mansion, City Lord's Office.
In this spacious room with extremely luxurious decoration, the crystal tassel chandelier inlaid with light crystals and top-quality gemstones illuminates the resplendent space dazzlingly.
At a glance, whether it is the high-grade magic mahogany desk with exquisite craftsmanship, the soft carpet made of top-grade Warcraft fur, or the large gold fireplace engraved with exquisite patterns, there is a sense of splendor everywhere, which makes people feel dazzled.
The dazzling and exquisite murals on the walls, as well as the scattered and scattered precious works of art, give this magnificent room a bit more like a museum exhibition hall.
All in all, everything is filled with a strong smell of money.
Needless to say, in this room, even the cheapest item is definitely something that ordinary civilians cannot reach after working hard for a lifetime.
At the same time, it also proves how rich the owner here is.
I saw a middle-aged aristocrat dressed in rich clothes and with a sullen expression, sinking into the seat behind the soft desk. While gently shaking the amber liquid in the goblet in his hand, he looked lazily and stood respectfully in front of him. The two subordinates yawned and said: "Tell me, what are the results of our actions recently?"
"Hehe, please inform me, Lord City Lord, that the campaign to clear out the alien lords in the surrounding areas of Songluo City has been very smooth. There have been more than a hundred alien lords hidden everywhere, and their subordinates have led people to deal with them on the spot. ”
I saw a thin middle-aged man who first smiled flatteringly and then responded: "And, according to your instructions, their servants were slaughtered and their mansions were burned to the ground, all following them, Completely disappeared from this land.”
"Very good. The more despicable aliens we can get rid of, the better. It's not in vain that I dispatched all the elite magician squadrons guarding the city lord's palace."
Taking a sip of the amber liquid in the cup, the middle-aged nobleman with a sullen face nodded with satisfaction and said: "In my land, these ants of unknown origin will never be allowed to exist. Go ahead, Songluo City." All the soldiers must be killed on the spot once they discover the alien lord, leaving no one behind.”
"The villain has an order, Lord City Lord."
Smiling again, a chill flashed through the skinny man's eyes, and he said respectfully: "I promise that there will never be another alien lord in Songluo City and all nearby areas."
Hearing this, the middle-aged nobleman with a sullen face focused his lazy eyes on another obese man beside him, and said lightly: "How is your income this month?"
"Returning to the city lord, your income has been very stable."
Hearing this, the fat man's chubby body bowed and said with a smile: "In addition to the many industries inside and outside Songluo City, especially Red Arrow Town under the jurisdiction of Viscount Tas, the harvest month of magic beads is about to come again."
"Because some time ago, according to the plan of the city lord, the scale of breeding of magic bead monsters has been increased. Therefore, your income will definitely create an unprecedented new height."
After speaking, the obese man straightened his body, which was full of fat, and looked flattering.
“Very good.”
After drinking the amber liquid in the cup, a satisfied smile appeared on the middle-aged noble's angry face, and he said lightly: "It just so happens that I, the Marquis, have recently taken a fancy to several rare items from the dark elves. , now you can finally have it all in your pocket.”
"Hey, Lord Loki is wise."
The fat man knelt down and immediately flattered the horse: "Back then, if adults hadn't taken decisive action and turned Red Arrow Town into our territory, I'm afraid we still wouldn't have gotten this stable cash cow."
"Yes, yes, Lord Luo Ji's strategic vision is simply rare in the world!"
Not to be outdone, the skinny man on the side also echoed.
Then, there was a trace of worry on his pale face, and he said: "However, in the past year, the population loss of Red Arrow Town has been very serious, which may greatly affect our efficiency."
"Indeed, this Marquis has told that guy from Tas many times, asking him to find ways to increase his manpower, but there has been no progress."
Putting down the goblet in his hand, Luo Ji turned his turbid eyes and said thoughtfully: "If this happens, I'm afraid the cash cow of Red Arrow Town will wither sooner or later."
"Master Luo Ji, I have a wonderful idea."
With a flattering smile, the obese man bowed slightly again, took a step forward and said: "During this period, the villain has been busy, making some of our cells in Songluo City overcrowded. How about escorting all these prisoners to Red Arrow Town?"
"In this case, even if the population of Red Arrow Town is exhausted and becomes an empty city, we will have a steady stream of manpower that can be transported. Although the lives of those untouchables do not matter, our business must continue. Ah.”
Having said that, a trace of pride could not help but appear on the fat man's face.
"It seems that you are already prepared."
Nodding with satisfaction to the fat man, Luo Ji showed a hint of approval on his angry face and said lightly: "Very good, let's do this for the time being. In addition, I heard that there was internal strife in Mailan Town. , which greatly reduced the strength, and replaced him with a new young city lord who is neither male nor female. It is a good choice to make him the second Red Arrow Town at a time when he is weak. "
"Sir Luo Ji is wise, but you are far-sighted. I am ashamed of myself."
The fat man saluted quickly and continued to flatter him: "If we can kill the new city lord and get Mailan Town, it is indeed an excellent way. In this way, not only can we replenish a large number of people in Red Arrow Town, but also Mailan Town has many resources. After all, it is an agricultural town and its food production is extremely good.”
"This matter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible."
Luo Ji smiled darkly, with a proud expression, as if he had concluded a big business deal.
Immediately, he pondered for a moment and then said: "By the way, our spy captain hasn't sent any news from Kongqing Town yet?"
"Return to Lord Loki, not yet."
The skinny man quickly bowed and said: "However, please rest assured, sir, that guy is an old killer and has almost never failed. If, like the rumors, the new city lord of Kongqing Town is really an alien lord. I'm afraid The head of the alien lord has already been cut off.”
"That would be best. A lowly alien lord would actually occupy a city in our Lengyan Kingdom. It is simply an insult to us Lengyan nobles! In this land, only we are qualified. Slave the untouchables, not the guys.”
Nodding slightly, Luo Ji smiled and said gloomily: "The most important thing is that if Princess Ariel, who fled to Kongqing Town, can be dedicated to the respected eldest prince, our truly good life will be over. Coming.”
"What Lord Loki said is absolutely true."
The obese man on the side responded: "If killing that alien lord can gain further favor from His Highness the Great Prince, then it would be a perfect deal."
As he spoke, a look of reverence appeared on the fat man's fat face again: "I just didn't expect that His Highness, the eldest prince, could take care of him so quickly while he was having a heated fight with the other two princes in the capital. In this remote Kongqing Town and Princess Ariel, we have to say that our eldest prince really has the appearance of a king!”
"Nonsense, His Highness the Prince has an expert behind his back."
Playing with the crystal clear goblet on the table, Luo Ji rolled his cloudy eyes and continued: "Although I don't know now, who is the master behind His Royal Highness the Prince?"
"However, if we can accomplish this for His Highness the Great Prince, kill the despicable alien lord of Nakong Qing Town, and then forcibly send Ariel back to the royal capital, then His Highness the Great Prince will be happy, and we will be considered a new dynasty. The biggest contributor.”
After saying that, Luo Ji smiled sinisterly and gave the two of them a "you know" look.
"Hehe, following the wise Master Luo Ji is indeed the most correct choice!"
On the other side, the thin man and the fat man couldn't help but look at each other, with excitement on their faces.
After finishing speaking, the three of them laughed ferociously.
Boom, boom, boom!
At this moment, an anxious knock on the door suddenly came.
At Rocky's signal, the skinny man opened the door.
An out-of-breath messenger immediately stepped into the gate and said with a panicked expression: "Sir Luo Ji, it's not good! Red Arrow Town has been attacked by unknown forces. The situation is very critical. It is said that, It’s one of the other two princes!”
"What?!"
Hearing this, Rocky immediately stood up from the soft seat.
I saw him smash the luxurious desk in front of him into two pieces with one palm, and roared: "You dare to take my idea?!"
"Okay, please retreat first."
The skinny man waved slightly to the messenger, closed the door again, and then said cautiously: "Master Luo Ji, is it really one of the other two princes who attacked Red Arrow Town?"
"However, news came from the royal capital not long ago that under the strong suppression of His Highness the eldest prince, the situation of the other two princes is not very stable. How can they still have the energy to send people to attack us?"
On the other side, the fat man's fat face said with a puzzled expression.
"Maybe the other two princes have joined forces, maybe one of them hired external forces, or maybe someone used the names of the two princes, it's still unknown."
A gloomy voice sounded, and after thinking for a moment, Luo Ji said with a ferocious look on his face: "However, no matter what the situation is, since you dare to touch my territory, then I will definitely kill these attackers to pieces. Ten Thousand Sections!”
After he finished speaking, a strong violent aura suddenly emerged from Marquis Rocky's body, causing the precious oil paintings hanging on the wall to tremble slightly.
"Don't bother, I'm already here."
At this moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded from the door.
Immediately afterwards, several figures standing proudly began to change from blur to solid, until they clearly appeared in front of Luo Ji and the other three.
These figures are none other than Lei Xiao, Hu Zhan, Ye Cang and Chao Yan who have taken off their invisibility cloaks and are wearing concealment rings.
After all, the strength of Bai Wei, A Ling and A Bing is only at the peak level of the third level, and there is a risk of being discovered.
Therefore, they were all waiting in Songluo City and did not come together.
As for the reason why Lei Xiao, whose strength is at the third level and eight stars, can appear quietly in front of Marquis Luoji, who is a fourth level strong man, it is naturally because he has been sitting on the Tiger Stick.
With the cover of a fifth-level powerhouse, it is undoubtedly impossible to detect Lei Xiao's aura.
At the same time, the powerful energy emitted by Ye Cang and Chao Yan had 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 Lord Luoji, the most heavily guarded area in the main palace of Songluo City.
Even a considerable number of elite soldiers have been sent to kill the lords from other worlds, which has reduced the defense of the city lord's mansion a lot.
However, being able to appear here quietly is enough to prove that these people are not just ordinary people.
What's even more frightening is that, except for the young man who spoke, they are all at the peak level of the third level, but they can't see through the strength of the other three.
Thinking of this, a few drops of cold sweat quietly slipped between their foreheads.
"No need to bother? Are you the attackers in Red Arrow Town?"
In shock, Luo Ji's cloudy eyes rolled, his face also full of vigilance, and he said in a deep voice: "How brave, how dare you appear here!"
After speaking, Luo Ji gave a subtle wink to the other two people beside him.
As a fourth-level five-star, he clearly understands.
The strength of these intruders obviously cannot be underestimated. Being able to appear here shows that they are well prepared.
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 gives people a vague feeling of fear, and his strength is obviously above the fourth level and five stars.
Therefore, the only way is undoubtedly to kill or capture the weakest young man with all his strength, and then leave through the secret door next to the fireplace while the other party is in confusion.
On the other side, the thin man and the fat man immediately understood each other, and murderous intent suddenly surged in their eyes, and waves of impressive aura began to quietly sweep out of the two of them.
However, at this moment, a burly figure took the lead and suddenly disappeared from the spot.
The next second, there was a flash of extremely dazzling light.
The two subordinates beside Luo Ji didn't even have time to hum before they fell to the ground.
In an instant, two pools of bright red liquid flowed out.
"Level 5 powerhouse?!"
After seeing this scene, Luo Ji's face was full of disbelief, and the murderous aura just now was no longer there.
Against such a strong man of the national level, he has absolutely no chance of victory!
I saw him retreating subconsciously and asking in panic: "You... who are you?"
"Dear Lord Marquis, didn't you send someone to my place this morning?"
Looking at the panic on Luo Ji's face, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "What? You forgot so quickly? Or, do I, the lord of another world who is the lord of Kongqing Town, frighten you so much?"
"Lord of the alien world? Are you the rumored lord of the alien world?!"
A look of disbelief appeared on Loki's face again, and he murmured to himself: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can a humble alien lord possess such huge energy?!"
Lei Xiao smiled, and surrounded by three subordinates, he slowly took a step forward and said lightly: "Sir, times have changed." (End of Chapter)
