Chapter 438 Next Arrangement and Return
"It can't be said that they are completely different, I can only say that they are completely unrelated."
Lei Xiao casually touched Chaoyan's head, smiled slightly and said: "Maybe one day, you will see with your own eyes, maybe the world I used to be in. By then, I believe you will be surprised."
The reason why Lei Xiao said this is not unfounded. After all, one billion lords can travel through time, so it does not rule out that there is a way to travel back.
Of course, for the current self, all this is still very far away. After all, even the most basic survival is not yet completely guaranteed.
Moreover, my understanding of this magical world is still at a relatively rudimentary stage.
"Just like what I thought before, there must be a huge mystery hidden behind the collective coming of one billion lords from us."
"If I guess correctly, this huge mystery must be inextricably linked to the unknown events that took place in the blank era three thousand years ago."
Looking at the face in front of him with big eyes shining with expectation, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
"This can also be seen from Wang Xi, the pioneer traveler six hundred years ago."
"After all, in addition to the lord's mansion, Wang Xi also has prompt talents and an operation interface with some open functions. He himself once joked that compared to us, a billion lords, his operation interface is like a test Edition is average.”
"It is not difficult to see from this that the collective time travel of our billion lords will never be just an accident, but a meticulous plan that has gone through hundreds or even thousands of years."
"As for who is the initiator, and what purpose and intention he has, it is currently unknown."
Lei Xiao took a sip of the steaming tea and nodded thoughtfully.
"There is another thing that cannot be ignored, and that is the unknown catastrophe that may come at any time. And according to Wang Xi, the catastrophe is just the prelude to a series of things."
"The past blank era, today's billions of lords are traveling through time, and the coming catastrophe in the future... What is the connection between all of these?"
Lei Xiao put down the delicate white porcelain cup in his hand, took a deep breath, and his expression became more solemn.
There are undoubtedly many more mysteries before him.
Afterwards, Lei Xiao introduced what he knew about the Cataclysm to the dragon woman in detail, and asked with a frown: "Hongye, how much do you, the Red Dragon clan, know about the Cataclysm?"
"Back to the lord, my subordinates have indeed heard that people in the clan who are good at divination have mentioned this matter."
Hong Ye stood up from her seat and responded respectfully: "However, because my subordinate was young at the time, I didn't take it to heart."
"And now it seems that since several predictions point to the unknown catastrophe, there should be no doubt about the authenticity of this matter."
A look of awe appeared on Hong Ye's fair face, and she affirmed: "My subordinates believe that a catastrophe is absolutely inevitable and may happen at any time!"
"Is it absolutely inevitable?"
Lei Xiao gestured for the other party to sit down again, and nodded thoughtfully, recalling the scene of his conversation with Wang Xi at the place where his ancestors slept in Luolong City.
""That's right, it's you, Brother Lei. ”
Wang Xi nodded slightly, his resolute face began to become more serious, and he said: "Not long ago, when you just entered this underground square, my talent already told me that this big Catastrophe is inevitable, and you will most likely be the hope to solve this catastrophe!”
Recalling this, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.
The road to the future is indeed still long and arduous.
After all, the guy added later, "In the final analysis, my talent is just to illustrate a possibility. Maybe what appears in front of you in the end is not hope, but despair like an abyss."
"Whether it is hope or despair, as long as I continue to accumulate energy and lay a solid foundation for the future, everything will be solved."
"As for the catastrophe that may come at any time, although I can only feel its terror and madness from the few words of the prophecy, what will happen specifically by then is really curious."
"Of course, what this kind of curiosity brings is likely to be darkness, distortion and death."
Lei Xiao picked up the tea cup and drank all the tea in one gulp to calm down his shock.
Then, Lei Xiao seemed to remember something, and asked the president's daughter who was standing respectfully aside: "Kelly, how is old Nick doing lately?"
Lei Xiao clearly understood that this crazy old bard was undoubtedly his only clue about the catastrophe at this stage.
"Back to the lord, Old Nick is currently being placed at this Phytolacca Trade Fair, under personal care by a team of fighting maids trained by his subordinates."
Kelly smiled confidently, bowed and responded: "If it returns to normal or reveals other matters, my subordinates will definitely get the information as soon as possible and report it to the lord!"
"Very good, thank you for your hard work."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, picked up the tea cup that A Bing had just filled again, and brought his thoughts back to the present.
I saw Lei Xiao feeling the warmth coming from the cup wall, and another touch of joy appeared on his face.
This trip to the ruins of Fanyin City was a fruitful one.
Not only did he obtain the Titan clan's sacred object [Eye of Titan], a broken sixth-level battle axe, and ten broken fifth-level battle axes, but his relationship with the two knight captains also took a big step forward. step.
"Tina from the Blue Rose Knights and Ryan from the Broken Blade Knights have basically reached a level where they can be conquered."
"However, all the third-level recruitment orders in my hand have been used up, and the two of them are currently dealing with the aftermath of the ruins, so it is difficult to have a chance to be alone together."
"So for the matter of subduing the two of them, it's better to find time later and go directly to the two knights' stations. It just so happens that you can also check out the surrounding terrain."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao took another sip of tea.
"Needless to say, Kelly's president father Gale, judging from the previous exploration of the ruins, is essentially no different from other subordinates. As long as there are extra fourth-level recruitment orders, they can be conquered."< br>
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Lei Xiao frowned again.
"As for the lord of Fanyin City, Al, as I thought before, if I can conquer him, it will undoubtedly mean that I have mastered Fanyin City, an important commercial city."
"This will play a vital role in the first small goal of controlling the entire eastern region of Lengyan in the future."
"After all, Fanyin City, as a commodity distribution center, controls nearly half of the food and daily necessities in this area."
Lei Xiao stood up from his seat while thinking this.
I saw him first putting the [Titan's Eye] on the ground into his space bracelet, and then slowly pacing in the luxurious reception room.
After the small display of strength in the ruins just now, I am afraid that City Lord Orr now has some respect for himself in his heart.
However, this is far from enough if you want to conquer the opponent.
Different from small cities such as Shuiyue City and Fenglong City, as one of the important towns in the eastern region of Lengyan, the importance of Fanyin City is self-evident.
It is conceivable that besides himself, the people in power in Leng Yan naturally understand this truth very well.
Needless to say, when the old king personally took charge in the past, at this stage, when the power struggle in the royal capital intensifies, the most critical thing is to find out whether Orr has fallen to a certain prince.
"Only after I figure this out, and because Orr and I also have a common opponent, the mysterious organization, can I be sure to use this as an entry point and completely conquer it."
After thinking about this in his mind, Lei Xiao walked up to Kelly, who was standing respectfully, and asked, "How much do you know about City Lord Orr?"
"Back to the lord, the city lord Orr holds the noble title of Marquis Lengyan, and this Fanyin City is his family's fiefdom."
Kelly bowed slightly to Lei Xiao and involuntarily smoothed her hair on her forehead.
Although she usually roamed Fanyin City fearlessly, she still seemed extremely cramped when she was only a dozen centimeters away from Lei Xiao.
Kelly's face was slightly red, and she lowered her head and continued: "As far as my subordinates know, it was ten years ago that Al inherited the family business and became the lord of Fanyin City. Before that, it seemed that he had been in the Lengyan royal family. Serve as court magician”
"Have you ever served in the Lengyan royal family?"
Lei Xiao rubbed his chin thoughtfully, raised his eyebrows and asked again: "Is there any prince who usually gets closer to him?"
"Back to my lord, my subordinates will not know about this matter."
Kelly thought for a moment, shook her head slightly and said: "However, my subordinates who grew up in Fanyin City knew clearly that ten years ago, Fanyin City was far from as prosperous as it is now. It was Orr who The low tax system that has not changed in the past ten years has made Fanyin City increasingly prosperous.”
"Under Orr's governance, Fanyin City's other policies and treatment are slightly higher than those of surrounding cities, and it is in no way different from ordinary residents. It can be said that it is quite popular, and there are no rumors of making money wantonly."
< br>
Just listen to Kelly continue: "Otherwise, it is impossible for Fanyin City's treasury to be empty just because of hiring a few fourth-level strong men and other third-level strong men."
"It seems that Al is an outstanding person among the cold flame nobles."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then spoke again: "During this period of time, you must pay more attention to the developments of City Lord Orr, and report anything to me in time. In particular, you must pay close attention to whether any of the other princes come in and out of the city. Sound City.”
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
Kelly caressed her chest and saluted, and accepted the order: "My father has a good personal relationship with the city lord Orr, so this will not be a problem!"
"Very good. This matter is very important to my future plans, so be sure to keep it in mind."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and continued: "In addition, it is best to find out from the side what specific position Orr held in the Leng Yan royal family."
After Kelly bowed and said yes, Lei Xiao returned to his seat and began to think about his next move.
"By the way, today's recruitment order has not been received yet. In addition, I have not returned to the territory for almost two days and one night. There are still some matters that have not been dealt with. So let's go back to the territory to recharge our batteries first."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao immediately called back the Nanxing and Nanyue sisters who were still in the Titan Clan ruins, and told Kelly to report as soon as possible if there was any movement at the ruins.
"Yes! Lord."
Kelly seemed to have remembered something, and bowed again: "By the way, Lord, lunch has been prepared a long time ago. I will order the kitchen to heat it up now."
When Nanxing Nanyue returned, the group finished their meal in the restaurant of Phytolacca Trade Fair.
Lei Xiao took his subordinates and returned to the luxurious living room.
"Kelly, practice hard. I believe it won't be long before we meet again."
Lei Xiao nodded to the little pepper from Fanyin City in front of him, and a crystal clear city-returning crystal appeared on his palm.
It is worth mentioning that Lei Xiao has already noticed it.
Hong Ye, who signed the Dragon Blood Contract, is no different from other subordinates. They are all registered on the territory's population interface and can also use the chat function normally.
Therefore, like other subordinate and surrendered races, they are naturally within the scope of application of the city return crystal.
"I obey! Lord! Leave everything in Fanyin City to my subordinates."
Kelly took a few steps back and saluted Lei Xiao again.
"Then it's time for us to leave."
After Lei Xiao finished speaking, he motioned to Huzhang, Hong Ye, Ye Cang, Nan Xing, Nan Yue, Chao Yan, Bai Wei, A Ling and A Bing to move closer to him, and then crushed the city return crystal in their hands.
As the energy surged, a familiar cyan light curtain rose, instantly covering Lei Xiao and others.
As time passed, and under Kelly's watch, the cyan light curtain surrounding the group of ten people began to become thicker.
Not long after, Lei Xiao felt a bright light flash in front of him, making him almost unable to open his eyes, and his body suddenly became lighter.
When the fulfilling feeling of landing on his feet reappeared, Lei Xiao found that he had returned to familiar territory.
At this time, it was already halfway through the afternoon, and the temperature of the two suns overhead was obviously much milder, making people feel quite warm.
Lei Xiao looked at the familiar door of the lord's mansion in front of him, took a deep breath of the fresh air with a slight cement smell, and his mood instantly calmed down.
Even though I had only been gone for a short time, I still felt like I hadn't been there for a long time.
Afterwards, Lei Xiao said to Erhanizi and the werewolf girl on the side: "Chaoyan, Bai Wei, you will take Hongye around in the territory first. As for her residence, she will arrange it in the empty room next to you. ”
Speaking of this, Lei Xiao looked at the dragon woman who came to the territory for the first time, looking around with curiosity, and smiled slightly: "Hongye, when the meeting is held, I will introduce you to other people in the territory. ”
"Yes! Lord!"
The three of them touched their chests and saluted, and then left together.
After ordering the other subordinates to disperse on the spot, Lei Xiao went straight back to his lord's mansion.
Next, naturally it’s time to deal with a series of unfinished business. (End of chapter)
