Chapter 444 Current Situation and Plan
The person Lei Xiao called out through his words was none other than the Nanxing Nanyue sisters who had been stationed in Kongqing Town some time ago.
Because the two fourth-level kingdom generals beside Ariel, Bert and Jubai, have been successfully conquered.
In addition, the "Eye of Insight" detection barrier at the Lord's Mansion in Kongqing Town has also been built and put into operation smoothly.
Under the cover of the magic barrier, if an unknown spy sneaks into the city lord's mansion, Lin, Guanzhong and others in Kongqing Town will definitely notice it immediately.
Therefore, it is natural that the twin sisters are no longer needed and continue to stay there.
"See you Lord!"
Not long after, the petite Nan Xing Nan Yue appeared in front of Lei Xiao, and they both bowed and saluted.
"No gifts."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then handed 1,350 Qi Condensing Pills to the two of them, asking them to pass them to Lin in Kongqing Town.
"Besides, I still have some things that I need you to give to Lin."
With a thought, Lei Xiao handed over all the common valuables he had previously obtained from Wang Xi and Luo Ji to the two of them.
At present, Lei Xiao still has more than 7.3 million golden dragons on his body, which can be said to have mastered an extremely huge amount of funds.
However, Lei Xiao clearly understood.
With future operations and even wars, the number of places that need funds will inevitably increase further.
Therefore, it is undoubtedly an urgent matter to secretly dispose of these useless valuables and exchange them for a large number of golden dragons.
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
After putting all the items into the storage ring, the twin sisters touched their chests and saluted, saying in unison.
"You just need to deliver it. I will tell Lin directly about the other matters."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and nodded.
After watching the twin sisters leave, Lei Xiao contacted Lin from Kongqing Town and told him everything about the Qi Condensation Pill and the secret handling of valuables.
For Lin, who runs a Phytolacca Trade Fair, it is naturally not a problem to secretly handle these valuables through various unconventional channels.
After finishing all this, Lei Xiao poured himself a cup of herbal tea, drank it in one gulp, and then called Hong Ye over.
"See you, Lord!" Within a moment, Hong Ye, dressed in red, appeared in front of Lei Xiao and saluted respectfully.
"Hongye, there is no need to be polite in private."
Lei Xiao motioned for the dragon woman to sit aside, and then with a solemn expression, he told her the latest situation around the territory, the confrontation with the mysterious organization, and what he had seen and heard recently.
"I didn't expect that the environment around the territory would be so severe."
After listening to Lei Xiao's words, Hong Ye's fair face also showed an awe-inspiring look: "Lord, regardless of anything else, the mysterious organization with at least seven fifth-level experts is enough to control the territory. poses a huge threat.”
"Yes, fortunately, the current location of the territory has not been exposed, which means that although the other party is hiding in the dark, we are also in the dark."
Lei Xiao still had a solemn expression, nodded to Hong Ye and said: "Based on the wording of the other party's "Cold Flame Branch" and "Holy Night Branch", the scope of activities of the mysterious organization at least covers Leng Yan and Sheng Ye, but I think things are far from that simple. ”
"This is most likely a huge organization that spans the entire human race. It has powerful men under its command and its power is overwhelming."
Lei Xiao stared at the empty wooden cup in his hand thoughtfully, and pondered: "This can also be corroborated by the fact that there is only one black-robed man No. 7 among the fifth-level strong men of the mysterious organization who emerged from the Lengyan area."< br>
After a pause, Lei Xiao added: "From what I have learned, most of these unknown powerful people who work for mysterious organizations are extremely evil people from various countries. Their behavior is cruel and ruthless, and some of them are even superior. The aristocratic class further proves the terror of this organization.”
"Your Lordship's analysis makes sense."
Hongye's slender eyelashes flickered, and she concurred with her eyebrows: "As far as I know, since the end of the Blank Era, the wars among the human nations have never completely stopped, which has also directly led to constant conflicts between various countries."< br>
"Under such circumstances, a huge mysterious organization that can bring together powerful people from various countries and even princes and nobles would actually appear. It is simply unbelievable. Such methods are undoubtedly far superior to the royal family of a country."
Hong Ye nodded to Lei Xiao and continued to frown: "From this point of view, the opponent's power is even stronger than what is shown so far. We must not underestimate it."
< br>
"That's right, what's more concerning is the other party's ongoing actions."
Lei Xiao put down his usual wooden cup and said thoughtfully: "Whether it is from the ruins of the light elves, the ruins of the ancient battlefield, or from the situation in Fanyin City where they are trying to snatch the Evernight Magic Box at all costs. Look, the other party obviously has a purpose, looking for some ancient items in these places that were destroyed in the blank era three thousand years ago.”
"What the lord said is absolutely true. If we can figure this out, it will be a great gain for us."
A trace of deep thought also appeared on Hong Ye's fair face, and she frowned and said: "It is not difficult to see from the other party's desperate killing and cruel methods that the other party is probably planning some shocking conspiracy."
"It's a pity that the members of these mysterious organizations are like dead soldiers. They don't even have the chance to be tortured."
Lei Xiao recalled Mu Tong's crazed performance before and curled his lips helplessly.
"The members of these mysterious organizations have obviously been subjected to some kind of forbidden spell to prevent them from telling the truth, or a similar curse spell."
Hongye first nodded in thought, then smiled and said: "Lord, please don't worry too much. It won't be long before we can get new information about the mysterious organization."
I saw a flash of awe in Hong Ye's starry eyes, and continued: "In addition, please rest assured, Lord, even if the opponent has 7 fifth-level strong men, as long as there are subordinates by the Lord's side, I will never let these scum get close to the lord!”
"With you and Knotweed around, I naturally feel much more at ease."
Lei Xiao smiled and nodded, responding.
"By the way, Lord Lord, I still have something unknown."
As Hong Ye's eyes flickered, she seemed to remember something and asked: "Since the target of this mysterious organization is ancient ruins, why didn't you go to the Titan ruins next to Fanyin City this morning?"
< br>
"You know, even though the Lord of Fanyin City has deployed heavy troops to guard the ruins, there is still no problem for a fifth-level powerhouse to come and go freely."
Hong Ye froze her eyebrows again, with a puzzled look on her face: "At that time, the other party even dared to break into the auction in Fanyin City. There should be no reason to abandon this Titan clan ruins."
"I have been thinking about this issue since I left the ruins."
Lei Xiao stood up from the throne, pacing slowly while thinking: "There is only one answer I can think of to make the mysterious organization give up this ruins on its own initiative, and that is that the other party must be planning something. There is a bigger conspiracy! And the importance of that conspiracy is far higher than the Titan clan ruins in Fanyin City!”
"Listening to what the lord said, it seems to be true."
Hong Ye also stood up from her seat, walked up to Lei Xiao and said, "But what exactly is the other party going to do?"
"We don't know yet, but it's conceivable that this would never be a good thing."
Lei Xiao frowned and responded: "However, since the knotweed appeared at the auction as a powerful member of the Lengyan royal family, presumably the mysterious organization's next actions will be more or less restrained. After all, there is a strong relationship between the two. , is also an opposite relationship. ”
"Of course, there is no doubt that one of the three princes has joined the mysterious organization."
Lei Xiao looked directly into the starry eyes of the dragon woman in front of him again, and asked: "Speaking of Hongye, what do you think of the overall situation facing the territory currently?"
"Back to the lord, my subordinate's thoughts are actually consistent with what the lord has always done."
Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Hong Ye's red lips slightly opened and said: "At this stage, the main threats facing the territory are undoubtedly the two major forces of the mysterious organization and the Leng Yan royal family."
"When your wings are not yet full, a direct conflict with any party will inevitably lead to the other party taking advantage of the situation."
"After all, neither the mysterious organization nor the Leng Yan royal family will allow a new force to emerge in this land, thus threatening the actions and hegemony of the two."
"This point can be gleaned from what the lord mentioned. Both of them have launched large and small bloody campaigns against other alien lords."
"So, what we need to do is to become a fisherman, not a snipe or a clam."
Hong Ye's eyebrows frowned slightly, and after a moment of thought, she added: "If there must be a local conflict with one of the two, just like what the lord did, you must try to keep the other person's sight away. , focus on another opponent.”
"You are right, but the incident involving Marquis Rocky must have aroused the vigilance of the eldest prince."
Lei Xiao nodded to Hong Ye and muttered: "It is conceivable that once the opponent wins the power struggle in the royal capital, then without any worries, they can send troops to attack Kongqing Town and then start a full-scale war with the territory. , it’s also a matter of time.”
"Perhaps this time may be faster than we think."
Hong Ye's expression also became awe-inspiring, and she agreed.
"Therefore, we must find the opportunity as soon as possible to subdue Ariel first."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and said seriously: "Then use the identity and influence of the fifth princess Ariel to win over other cities in the surrounding areas to further enhance the strength of the territory, and use this as capital to fight against the Leng Yan royal family."
"Your Lordship is right. There is a motto of the Dragon Clan, which is that only dragons who are prepared for rainy days can fight against the thunderstorms and strong winds of the sky."
Hong Ye nodded thoughtfully and added: "No matter which side wins the battle for the capital of Leng Yan, they will definitely not let go of Leng Yan's fifth princess who also has the right to inherit. Naturally, among them, Including the lord standing behind it.”
Hongye's slender eyelashes flickered, as if she was recalling some unbearable past events, and a trace of sadness appeared on her fair face.
However, this gloominess was fleeting, and Hong Ye's sassy cheeks quickly returned to normal.
Naturally, all this did not escape Lei Xiao's eyes.
But for the past events that the other party is not willing to mention for the time being, Lei Xiao will naturally not take the initiative to ask. Instead, he changes the subject and smiles: "Hongye, after talking with you, I have a clear idea of what to do next. A lot.”
"It is what subordinates should do to solve the Lord's problems."
Hongye also smiled, waved her hand and said: "This is also my honor."
"I believe that as long as we continue to walk side by side, whether it is the true face of the mysterious organization and the motivation for searching for unknown items, or the mysterious blank era, everything will clear away the clouds and reveal the blue sky."< br>
Lei Xiao looked at the dimness that still remained in the other party's starry eyes, and said gently: "That's it for today. Go back and rest early."
"Yes! Lord!"
Hong Ye stroked her chest and saluted, then bowed and accepted the order.
When Hong Ye left, Lei Xiao returned to the throne and fell into deep thought again.
"By the way, there is one more important thing!"
"Now that I have successfully conquered Hongye, who is both a magician and a martial artist, it undoubtedly means that the immortal door that sealed the fifth-level magic ban in the abandoned mine in Gelin City has opened to me. .”
Rubbing his hands together excitedly, the anticipation on Lei Xiao's face was clear: "I wonder what kind of secrets are hidden behind the door? It seems that the answer will be revealed tomorrow!"
Lei Xiao thought as he stood up again and walked up the spiral staircase.
It's late, so naturally it's time to go to bed.
It didn't take long for Lei Xiao to return to his lord's suite on the third floor.
After washing up and putting on a new set of pajamas that had just been washed by the third-level maids, Lei Xiao suddenly felt sleepy and lay down directly on the soft big bed.
"I have to say that even though the environment outside is good, my own mansion is the most comfortable and reassuring."
Sighing in his heart, Lei Xiao took off the shining crystal stone on the bedside table, causing the whole room to suddenly become dim.
After a while, with the sound of steady breathing, Lei Xiao quickly fell asleep.
……
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was hazy and the sun had not yet risen.
Lei Xiao stretched and sat up from the bed energetically.
As soon as his mind moved, a rose energy-gathering pill surrounded by a strange fragrance appeared on the palm of his hand.
Looking at the familiar round potion in his hand, Lei Xiao did not hesitate, swallowed it directly, and started his daily morning practice.
After some time passed, Lei Xiao, who had closed his eyes in concentration, opened his eyes again, and a joyful look suddenly appeared on his face.
Now I, the magic energy vortex has reached a higher level, reaching the level of third-order and six-star!
"I feel that the magic power in my body has become much stronger."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao immediately jumped off the bed and began to wash up.
It didn't take long for him to walk out of the lord's suite, fully dressed.
Today's task is naturally to explore the long-awaited door to immortality! (End of chapter)
