Chapter 381 Lord and Traveling Merchant
I saw Lei Xiao's mind moving, accompanied by a faint spatial fluctuation.
An emerald-green crystal storage ring appeared on the palm of his hand.
Without hesitation, Lei Xiao directly opened the ring's attribute bar.
[Name: Eyes of Blue Shadow] (unbound)
[Grade: Level 3 Excellence (Blue)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional effect: The upper space pole "can store and take out any objects without life at will. The space capacity is 50 cubic meters"]
[Remarks: The storage ring comes from the forest elves and is refined by the great space magician of the elves.
Its previous owner seemed to have left many precious items inside. 】
"Not bad, a third-level quality storage ring?"
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and murmured in his heart: "You must take a closer look later to see what is in it."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao turned around and said to the Queen's general and the princess's personal maid who were standing respectfully beside him: "Alright, Ju Bai, Xing Hui, you two should leave here first. Before you get my permission, , everything is as usual, if you need anything, please contact me at any time.”
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
Hearing this, the two women bowed at the same time and then left first.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao's reminder sound suddenly sounded.
After the call was connected, Lin's voice came over immediately: "Your lord, the president of the Kongqing Town Chamber of Commerce, Kunbu asks for an audience."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, and thought to himself: "Since we said goodbye in the mirage of the ancient battlefield ruins, due to a busy schedule, I have never been able to see this guy again." < br>
"However, the 1,000 units of white jade ore I took from him at that time allowed my Bright Healing Center to be directly upgraded to level 2."
"Coupled with a series of previous events, this guy's contribution to the territory can be regarded as a tribute to his hard work."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately responded to Lin: "Let him wait for me in the meeting hall, I will come right away."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates beside him and took his own steps.
A moment later, when Lei Xiao stepped into the door of the conference hall.
Lin and Kunbu, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately came to greet them.
"See the Lord of the City!"
I saw Kunbu, who was still dressed in a brocade robe and looked bloated and fat, quickly knelt down on one knee and lowered his head deeply to Lei Xiao.
"President Kunbu, I have heard about you."
Signaling the potbellied middle-aged businessman to stand up, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Are you feeling well after encountering the mirage?"
"Thank you City Lord for your concern!"
Kunbu stood up again, with a flattered look on his greasy face, and quickly responded: "My Lord, there is nothing serious except for being dizzy. Therefore, after returning to Kongqing Town, the villain I had to rest in bed for two days, so I didn’t meet with the Lord of the City as soon as possible. Please forgive me, Lord of the City!”
"It doesn't matter."
Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly and nodded.
"Thank you, Lord City Lord! By the way, the white jade ore brought by my subordinates has just been deposited in the treasury of the City Lord's Mansion. Please check it, Lord City Lord!"
Kunbu laughed at first, and then said a little embarrassedly: "It's a pity that a small part of the white jade ore was lost during the process of accidentally entering the mirage."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly. The small part of the missing white jade ore was naturally the part he took away at that time.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then asked the middle-aged businessman: "By the way, President Kunbu, where did you find those white jade ores?"
As a level 2 common resource, white jade ore is one of the key materials for upgrading the miracle building, the Bright Healing Center.
The Cold Flame Kingdom is not the origin of white jade ore, so it is difficult to find this resource.
Therefore, if we can find a large amount of white jade ore and continue to upgrade the Bright Healing Center, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the territory.
"Back to the Lord of the City, this is what happened."
Kunbu rubbed his fat hands and responded respectfully: "The villain has a businessman friend from Shanjing Principality, and the white jade ore was purchased from him."
"As for the specific method of obtaining it, although the other party did not explain it, the villain believes that this kind of white jade ore was probably mined in Shanjing Principality, and after the transaction between the villain and the other party was completed, this person also Already returned to Shanjing Principality”
Having said this, Kunbu bowed slightly, with an expression of admiration.
"So that's it."
After listening to Kunbu's answer, Lei Xiao couldn't help but look thoughtful.
"It just so happens that my next plan is to go to Shanjing Principality to learn more about the giant axe general Burt."
"It seems that using this businessman friend from Kunbu as a breakthrough point is a good choice. By the way, we can also figure out the source of the white jade ore."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao asked in detail for some information about Kunbu, a businessman friend.
And Kunbu also talked about everything he knew, and introduced it in great detail.
Immediately, Kunbu seemed to remember something, his eyes lit up, and he bowed to Lei Xiao again and said: "By the way, Lord City Lord, when I left the mirage, I accidentally discovered a piece of this!"
After finishing speaking, Kunbu carefully took out a round crystal stone the size of a fist from his arms.
Looking carefully, I saw that the crystal was dark red in color and looked crystal clear, shining like a ruby.
After taking the crystal in the opponent's hand, Lei Xiao recognized it at first sight and blurted out involuntarily: "It turns out to be a fantasy crystal?"
Through previous understanding, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
This kind of fantasy crystal that can be used as a recorder is extremely rare.
I had obtained a piece before on the Eternal Ship.
It was precisely because of the illusion crystal inlaid on the giant ship's bow that I was able to see the image of the ancient ship in the last period before it encountered disaster.
"Sir, this is indeed a fantasy crystal."
I saw Ye Cang pushing up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, also showing a surprised expression, bowing slightly and saying: "Illusion crystals in nature are indeed produced in mirages. This is also the only way to obtain illusion crystals. method, but the possibility is very small.”
"It seems like this is a blessing in disguise."
With a slight nod, Lei Xiao immediately opened the attribute bar of the fantasy crystal.
【Name: Fantasy Crystal】
[Resource level: Level 5 (rare)]
【Specification: 10cm】
【Purity: Grade A+】
【Energy: 100%】
[Note: This is a brand new illusion crystal. As long as a little energy is injected into it, the recording function can be turned on regardless of whether the holder is an illusionist or not.
And if a large amount of energy is injected into it, an illusion can be instantly formed in a certain area and the recorded scene can be reproduced. 】
“Not bad, not bad.”
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao put the illusion crystal into his bag and praised the middle-aged businessman: "President Kunbu, you have made a big contribution this time."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao fell into deep thought again, thinking to himself: "I have to say that this guy Kunbu can be said to be loyal."
"Take advantage of this opportunity and let him become my direct subordinate. In this way, as the president of Kongqing Town Chamber of Commerce, he can better assist Lin and Fang Hai."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said to the middle-aged businessman in front of him: "President Kunbu, I believe you have roughly guessed my true identity, right?"
After speaking, Lei Xiao briefly introduced his situation to Kunbu and extended an olive branch to him.
On the other side, after listening to Lei Xiao's words, Kunbu, who had already made this plan, immediately showed a look of ecstasy.
I saw that he didn't hesitate at all, and knelt down in front of Lei Xiao again, and said excitedly: "My subordinate Kunbu Brown Ban is willing to swear allegiance to the lord to the death!"
"Very good, let's start signing the contract."
Immediately afterwards, a first-level recruitment order flashed in Lei Xiao's hand and began to glow faintly.
Within a moment, a familiar prompt sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, the first-order two-star traveling merchant Kunbu Zangban has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
After lifting the opponent up, Lei Xiao immediately opened the opponent's attribute bar.
【Name: Kunbu】
【Occupation: Travel Merchant】
[Level: First level and two stars]
【Loyalty: 100】
[Skill 1: Mental Arithmetic Master "Passive" (mental arithmetic speed greatly increased)]
[Skill 2: Carriage driving proficiency "passive" (carriage driving skills are moderately improved)]
"As expected of a professional businessman, he doesn't have a single combat skill."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, handed a storage ring, ten Qi Condensation Pills, and a third-level dagger to the other party, and then said: "Kunbu, this brand new storage ring Needless to say, you should know more about rings and third-level daggers than I do about Qi Condensation Pills, right?”
"At that time, when we were in the dense forest, you gave me one first."
Smiling faintly at the middle-aged businessman, Lei Xiao continued: "As my subordinate, not only must your personal professional ability be excellent, but your own strength must also keep up. Only in this way can you better protect yourself."< br>
"These ten Qi Condensing Pills are enough for you to cultivate to the second-order nine-star level. In short, these should be regarded as my meeting gifts."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and looked at the traveling businessman in front of him with a smile.
"Thank you very much, Lord!"
On the other side, after receiving the items handed over by Lei Xiao, Kunbu was already so excited that he could not speak coherently. He had to kneel down on one knee again and lowered his head deeply to Lei Xiao.
As a professional businessman, he naturally knows the value of these items best!
You know, in order to get the Qi Condensation Pill, Kunbu had almost consumed all the funds on hand and spent a lot of effort before finally getting it.
What's more, there are ten of them all at once? !
"The most important thing is that storage rings are top-notch items that only noble men have the qualifications and channels to obtain. I never thought that, as an ordinary civilian, I would one day get this kind of dream treasure!"
Just when Kunbu was excited.
Lei Xiao said to Lin who was standing aside: "Let Guanzhong take some time to personally guide Kunbu in his cultivation. With Kunbu's full assistance, Kongqing Town's business will surely be able to make further progress from now on."
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
Hearing this, Lin immediately touched her chest, saluted, and bowed to accept the order.
After a pause, Lin took another step forward, saluted slightly to Lei Xiao, and said, "Lord, I have one more thing to report."
"Oh? What happened?"
Lei Xiao asked doubtfully as he lifted up Kunbu who was kneeling on the marble floor again.
"The habitat of the Sky Pterosaur that the Lord asked his subordinates to find before has already been revealed."
Lin continued to salute and said.
"Really? Where is it?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but feel a hint of joy again on his face.
After finding the habitat of the Sky Pterosaur, the combat power of the ten third-level pterosaur knights under his command will inevitably increase significantly.
Moreover, these three levels of sky knights are much higher than ordinary ground cavalry in terms of speed and strategic ability.
Obviously it can further enhance the territory's overall strength.
"Back to the lord, the closest Sky Pterosaur habitat to us is in the mountains near Shanjing Principality!"
A rustling voice sounded, and Lin responded immediately.
"That's it."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao began to ponder again.
"Further information from General Burt of the Great Axe, the mining location of the white jade ore, and the habitat of the Sky Pterosaur all point to the remote small country on the border between Lengyan and Shengye, the Shanjing Principality?"
"It seems that the matter of going there is imminent."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately asked Lin and Kunbu: "How much do you two know about the Shanjing Principality?"
"Back to Lord, last year I went to Shanjing Principality many times for business. It was at that time that I met the businessman friend I just mentioned."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Kunbu's fat face was full of respect and responded: "This small country located in the mountains has very limited food resources and is not suitable for growing crops."
"We can only rely on merchants like us to transport and hunt monsters to make a living. Correspondingly, the mineral veins there are relatively rich, but it is only relatively, and there are no important rare resources."
After a pause, Kunbu added: "As for the mined minerals, most of them have been converted into food to maintain the normal operation there."
"It's not much different from what I know. Apart from that, is there anything else worth noting?"
Nodding slightly, looking at the two people standing respectfully in front of him, Lei Xiao asked again.
"Back to the lord, a few years ago, when I was conducting the trial of the Shanglu family, I lived in the Shanjing Principality for nearly a month. However, one night, a strange thing happened. ”
Lin's eyes were blurry, apparently lost in memories.
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show an interesting expression. (End of chapter)
