Chapter 423 Red Night
"Don't worry, Lord, leave everything to your subordinates."
The fighting spirit in Hong Yexing's eyes boiled, and he nodded respectfully.
“Very good, I’m really looking forward to tomorrow.”
Looking at Hong Ye's delicate face, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said with a faint smile.
After that, since it's past midnight, we have to go to Fanyin City tomorrow.
Therefore, Lei Xiao arranged for Xue Ya and A Ling to lead the other subordinates to have supper first, and then go to the already packed residence to rest. After all, the group had not eaten yet after returning from the hidden cave in the Songyin Mountains.
Lei Xiao himself, accompanied by the city lord Tran, came to the treasure house of Fenglong City.
Arriving inside the large and slightly empty treasure house, after some inspection, Lei Xiao noticed.
Because of his full support for Xue Ya to become an alchemist, Fenglong City’s treasury reserves are not much better than Faxia’s hometown, Shuiyue City.
After some upgrades, in terms of equipment, Lei Xiao finally obtained 100 sets of level 3 light armor, 100 sets of level 3 leather armor, 100 sets of level 3 plate armor, and 2 level 4 staffs.
As for potions, I received 100 Ice Return Pills and 1 third-level healing potion.
"Tran, wait until the two Guards squadrons are all replaced with third-level equipment, and put the replaced second-level equipment back into the equipment warehouse. I will have other uses at that time."
After completing all this, Lei Xiao turned around and said to the middle-aged city lord who was standing respectfully beside him: "When the time is right, I will replace all the garrison troops in Fenglong City with second-level equipment to further improve their skills." The overall combat power of Fenglong City”
"Thank you very much, Lord!"
Overjoyed, Tran quickly bowed and saluted.
"Let's leave."
Lei Xiao nodded and walked straight out of the treasure house.
Returning to the long corridor of the castle, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and then ordered: "In addition, regarding the construction of city defense and the recruitment of new soldiers, you must be careful and make more strategic reserves. If 1 million golden dragons are used, Done, feel free to ask me for additional information at any time.”
After a pause, Lei Xiao seemed to remember something, and added: "I guess you already know that the tourist city Shuiyue City next door is also within the territory's sphere of influence. You and Ed must cooperate sincerely. , contributing to the development of the territory.”
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured."
A smile appeared on Ed's handsome face and he said, "To be honest with you Lord, my subordinate and Ed were destined rivals when they were young. We both know each other very well. The two cities of Dragon and Water Moon will soon become an indestructible line of defense under the Lord’s command.”
"Sure enough, like father, like daughter, is it similar to the current Xueya and Fasha?"
Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then said: "I look forward to your outstanding performance. By the way, although there are no dragons in the Dragon Sealing Land, this matter must not be leaked to anyone, including ordinary members of the Bingliu family."
"Follow your orders! I know what to do, Lord, please rest assured."
Tran looked solemn and bowed in response.
"In short, the appearance of Fenglong City must be exactly the same as before, and there must be no mistakes..."
Lei Xiao was chatting with Tran in this way while walking in the long castle corridor.
Not long after, he arrived at the door of Tran's prepared room.
I saw Hongye guarding the door of the room, and immediately came up to him: "Lord, you are back."
After responding, Lei Xiao noticed in surprise.
Hongye, who was originally wearing heavy red dragon scale armor, has changed into a simple red outfit.
The waist-length hair scattered on the back has also been tied up with a red hairband and tied into a neat long ponytail.
But what hasn't changed is that even though the equipment has been removed, he still looks heroic.
Noticing Lei Xiao's gaze, Hong Ye smiled sheepishly and said, "This is the dress made by the subordinates of the Xue Ya Gang. In this way, it is indeed much lighter than before."
"It suits you very well."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and smiled calmly.
"I am very honored to be praised by the lord."
Hongye bowed slightly and said again: "By the way, Lord, Nanxing was originally on guard here, but my subordinate has been sleeping for more than six hundred years and is very energetic now, so I took it upon myself to let her go back first. Rest.”
"I understand, then it's all down to you."
Lei Xiao patted Hong Ye's shoulder gently to show encouragement.
Then, under the watch of Hong Ye and Tran, he walked into the most luxurious room in the castle.
I saw that a fine meal had already been placed on the small round dining table next to the bed.
A box of sandwiches, a grilled wing, a piece of cheesecake, and a glass of orange juice were just enough for Lei Xiao.
This is exactly what Lei Xiao asked for.
That is, including himself, all subordinates in the territory, and the garrison troops of the cities they belong to, cannot waste food.
Of course, the premise is that you must eat well and eat until you are full.
After all, the consumption of strong men is much greater than that of ordinary soldiers, and Lei Xiao is not without this condition.
After a storm, Lei Xiao finished washing and lay down on the comfortable bed contentedly.
Not long after, the sound of even and steady breathing began.
……
The next morning, when the first bright ray of sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, it formed dazzling spots on the mahogany floor of the room.
Lei Xiao opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
The first thing after getting up is naturally to do the daily practice.
"Currently, my physical energy vortex has reached the peak level of the third-order nine-star level. In other words, I only need to practice the magic energy vortex."
Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a rose energy-gathering pill surrounded by a strange fragrance appeared on his palm.
After putting the potion into his mouth with a flick of his finger, Lei Xiao slowly closed his eyes and began to refine it.
Some time passed, when Lei Xiao exhaled a breath of turbid air and opened his eyes again.
A touch of lavender magic stayed in his dark eyes for a while before gradually dissipating.
At this time, Lei Xiao could clearly feel that the vortex of magical energy in his body was once again filled to a new level.
"Has the magic energy vortex reached the level of a third-order, five-star senior expert?"
"Coupled with the series of training on condensing magic wings in my spare time, I should be able to fully master the magic martial skill [Thunder and Thunder Flash] now, right?"
When Lei Xiao thought about this, a small scroll emitting rich purple light appeared on his palm.
Playing with the small scroll in his hand, Lei Xiao opened the scroll's attribute bar.
[Name: Thunder and Flash]
【Level: Level 4】
[Explanation: Single-target magic sword skill with thunder attribute. This skill was created by a fifth-level magic and martial master who has both human and winged human blood. It is one of the famous stunts of this strong man.
The violent lightning power is attached to the sword body, and a full blow from top to bottom needs to be used with the flying skill. This skill is extremely fast and will produce a strong sonic boom, often before the enemy has time to react. has been defeated by this skill. 】
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao did not hesitate, and directly separated a ray of energy from the two energy vortices in his belly. After mixing, he poured it all into the small scroll.
A dazzling purple light burst out from the scroll, causing the entire room to flicker with purple light.
Immediately afterwards, a large amount of unfamiliar information and a dizzy feeling like an enlightenment poured into Lei Xiao's brain.
After a while, when Lei Xiao opened his eyes again, a touch of joy could not help but appear on his face.
Now, he has fully mastered his first magic weapon skill.
"I see... I didn't expect that compressing the two energies in the body first and then merging them would actually have the dual effects of enhancing power and saving energy!"
"In this way, even if I don't use any skills and just rely on sword skills to slash, my attack ability will be greatly improved!"
In excitement, Lei Xiao opened his attribute bar again.

"Not bad, not bad, now I'm even scared to see myself."
After closing the attribute bar, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, walked into the bathroom in the luxurious room, and began to wash up.
When the neatly dressed Lei Xiao walked out of the room in high spirits, his twin sister Nan Yue who was guarding the door immediately came to greet him.
Wearing a black outfit, she still looked shy. She bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "Good morning, Lord!"
"Is it your girl again?"
Casually touching the other person's head with short ear-length hair, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Where are the others?"
"Senior Hongye seems to be very interested in human food. He went to the kitchen with Xue Ya and Aling not long ago. As for the others, they are all in the private dining room of the City Lord's Mansion, waiting for the Lord's orders."
Nan Yue, who had her head touched, first lowered her head and smiled sheepishly, and then started to stutter: "Lord... Lord, please follow this... this way."
< br>
Under Nan Yue's guidance, Lei Xiao quickly arrived at the city owner's restaurant in the castle.
As Xue Ya, A Ling, and A Bing came in and out, the long wooden dining table was already filled with a sumptuous breakfast.
Honey butter toast, charcoal-grilled sausages and bacon, colorful salads, as well as a variety of bacon and ham, pizza pizza and juice milk, it can be said that it is all available, making people dizzy.
Sniffing the mixed aroma of butter, cereal and bacon, Lei Xiao noticed it while salivating.
Beside the dining table, Chao Yan, Bai Wei and... Hong Ye were already sitting in a row in an upright row, with such expectant looks on their faces that even their starry eyes dropped to the dining table.
"Good guys, it seems that the foodie duo has successfully grown into a foodie trio."
Looking at the other subordinates who had also sat down, Lei Xiao, who came to the top of the table, nodded and said to the subordinates: "Okay, let's start eating."
Just like that, accompanied by the crisp sound of the plate and the knife and fork colliding.
A new day has just begun.
After he was full and full, looking at the clean dining table, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and first called Hong Ye to his side.
"Lord, I didn't expect that human food would be so delicious. It really exceeded my subordinates' expectations."
Having just arrived at Lei Xiao's side, Hong Ye's fair and delicate face was full of excitement and satisfaction, and she couldn't wait to say.
"I'll let you try my hometown cuisine later. I'm sure you will be completely lost in the delicious food."
Lei Xiao nodded and smiled, and said with laughter in his heart: "Is this guy really a dragon that is famous for its aloofness? He is completely different from how he was not long ago, but if you think about it carefully, since this guy has turned into a human form, I no longer have the aura of the dragon on my body, and we can indeed be counted as two people..."
Thinking of this in his mind, Lei Xiao seemed to have realized something, and added a brand new storage ring, as well as the standard illusion cloak, concealment ring, a series of healing potions, auxiliary potions, and third-level magic potions for the main subordinates. The magic scroll and 10,000 golden dragons were handed over to the other party one after another.
As for weapons and armor, Lei Xiao learned about them after asking.
Just as he thought, Hongye, who had transformed into human form, could transform into armor and claws by himself, and the strength was the same as when in dragon form. Unless there was more advanced applicable equipment of level 6 or above, there was no need to change clothes.
"Thank you very much, Lord!"
After taking the items in Lei Xiao's hands one after another, Hong Ye said gratefully.
Admittedly, to her back then, these items, which ordinary humans could never reach in their lifetime, were not precious things at all.
After all, as a dragon, she was born with a fondness for shiny rare treasures, and she once stored a large number of priceless treasures from heaven and earth.
But before she met Lei Xiao, she had lost everything, including her freedom, and she didn't even know how long she could survive.
Only when you lose can you know how to cherish.
Therefore, what Lei Xiao gave him seemed even more precious to Hong Ye.
"Lord, when your subordinates take back everything that belongs to them, all will be dedicated to your lord!"
While her heart was throbbing, Hong Ye had no choice but to lower her head deeply again.
After being forced to seal herself for more than six hundred years, it was the young human race man in front of her who made her, who had nothing, stand again under the bright sunshine that was once out of reach!
"We will fight side by side in the future."
Lei Xiao smiled and helped the other person up. Lei then faced the other subordinates and said: "Okay, now that you have eaten and drank enough, it is time to set off. Let's set off and target Fanyin City!"
"Yes! Lord!"
All the subordinates touched their chests and saluted, and said in unison in high spirits. (End of chapter)
