Chapter 445 A delightful new blessing
Facing the first ray of morning light, Lei Xiao went straight to the lord's office at the other end of the corridor and began to receive today's three second-level recruitment orders.
Then, after some reverse reasoning, 1,200 units of copper ingots, as well as other derivatives such as copper ore and wood were obtained.
"Currently, I have 800 units of iron ingots and 7,300 units of copper ingots. The resources required for the next upgrade of the mansion are 10,000 units of copper and iron ingots."
After checking the resource reserves, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
"After Su Ru and other five lords' mansions were upgraded to level 5, the output of copper and iron ingots has reached 7,200 units per day. In other words, the number of copper and iron ingots will be completely sufficient in less than two days."
"If that's the case, let's replenish the required copper ingots today, and then go all out to produce iron ingots."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao first set his manufacturing sequence to produce exquisite sickles.
Immediately, the trading channel was opened, and the 2,400 units of copper ore and 2,400 units of wood required for one day's manufacturing were given to Su Ru and Su Mo respectively, telling them to produce exquisite sickles to produce copper ingots.
He also gave 2,400 units of iron ore and 2,400 units of wood to Sun Qi, Zhao Lu, and Zhang Shan respectively, and told them to produce exquisite logging axes to produce iron ingots.
After completing all this, Lei Xiao casually received today's 1 piece of return crystal.
"I have saved 7 pieces of return crystals but have not yet upgraded them. I might as well upgrade them directly."
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao started upgrading directly.
[Congratulations, your "Report Crystal" has been upgraded to "Report Crystal" worth 100 pieces! 】
[Congratulations, your "Return Crystal" has been upgraded to "Teleport Crystal"! 】
[Congratulations, your "City Return Crystal"...]
Following a series of familiar prompts, Lei Xiao finally obtained 200 city return crystals and 5 teleportation crystals.
"Currently, the number of return crystals is 596, and the number of teleportation crystals is 9?"
After checking the reserves of the two crystals, Lei Xiao nodded slightly: "It is completely sufficient at this stage."
At this moment, Lei Xiao's private message notification suddenly rang.
Out of curiosity, Lei Xiao opened the private message interface and found that the person who sent the message was Shen Banxia.
"Good morning, Xiaoshen Boss! What a sunny day! My blessing content today is refreshed with illusion items. I wonder if Xiaoshen Boss needs it?"
Looking at the text in the private message, Lei Xiao suddenly felt thoughtful.
"At that time, when I received the blessing for the first time in Shen Banxia's territory, the type was an illusion item."
Lei Xiao's eyes were blurred, apparently lost in memories.
"I remember I gave the opponent an invisibility cloak, and finally got a good effect of "completely hiding the breath". ”
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and continued to think.
"You must know that although the invisibility cloak can completely hide the body of any strong person below the fourth level and nine stars visually, it cannot completely hide its own aura, making it possible for the opponent to detect the wearer through this. ”
"And with this blessing effect, it is equivalent to completely avoiding the energy detection of any strong person below the fourth level and nine stars! Of course, the premise is that no sound can be made."
"This blessing effect has undoubtedly greatly improved the practicality of that invisibility cloak!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's face couldn't help but reveal a hint of curiosity.
"If I bless the same invisibility cloak again, I wonder what effect it will have this time?"
Out of curiosity, Lei Xiao traded Shen Banxia with a brand new invisibility cloak.
Not long after, with a "ding" sound, Shen Banxia's private message came into Lei Xiao's eyes again: "Brother Xiaoshen, I have given you my blessing, please check it!"
"Thank you for your hard work."
After trading back the invisibility cloak, Lei Xiao immediately took it into a wooden storage box nearby.
While taking it out, the attribute bar of the new cloak was opened.
[Name: Blessed Invisibility Cloak]
[Level: Level 4 Epic (Purple)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional effect: Fourth-level invisibility technique "can hide your figure after wearing it, and also has the effect of concealing the aura. It is effective for the strong ones of the fourth level and below"]
[Blessing Effect: Level 5 Hiding Technique "After wearing it, the body shape and breath can be completely hidden, and it is effective for powerful people of Level 5 and below"]
[Note: The invisibility cloak enchanted by a legendary fifth-level illusionist can be used in any environment, but please be careful not to make strange sounds. 】
"Fifth-level concealment technique? Can you completely hide your body shape and aura? Isn't this the combination of invisibility and concealment techniques?"
Looking at the text description on the attribute column, Lei Xiao's face was filled with surprise.
Lei Xiao was seen stroking the cold silk cloak in his hand while nodding excitedly.
"You know, although the ordinary invisibility cloak has excellent effects, it is only a fourth-level invisibility technique after all. It only has special effects on those who are strong in the fourth level and below nine stars. For those who are in the fifth level, the effect is extremely poor. According to Huzhang, The flaw is clearly visible visually, just like a reflection in water.”
Feeling the coolness brought by the cloak, Lei Xiao continued to think.
"And this blessing effect will undoubtedly make even the fifth-level experts with monstrous strength unable to detect any clues!"
"For me, this will definitely play a huge role!"
"After all, whether I face the Leng Yan royal family or the mysterious organization, the possibility of me encountering a fifth-level powerhouse will greatly increase."
"It is not difficult to see from this that at this stage, whether it is hiding strength as a trump card or tracking, this second blessed invisibility cloak will be more practical than the first one before!"
< br>
Overjoyed, Lei Xiao first nodded with satisfaction, and then fell into thought.
"By the way, although the "complete concealment aura" of the first blessed cloak is not marked with an effective range, after previous tests, the knotweed could not detect it. This undoubtedly means that the effect is also effective for fifth-level experts. . ”
"If this range can be effective to the sixth level, then from the perspective of concealing the breath, the role of the first blessed invisibility cloak cannot be underestimated."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction while putting the blessed invisibility cloak in his hand back into the space bracelet.
"In short, whether it is the first blessed invisibility cloak or the second blessed invisibility cloak, it will play a huge role for me that cannot be ignored!"
"Shen Banxia has made great contributions this time, so naturally he must be well rewarded."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then directly traded the resources needed to upgrade the level 3 mansion to level 5 to the other party.
This girl's talent is extremely important, and on the edge of the territory, there is the ruins of the light elves that have not yet been fully explored, which requires her to monitor.
Therefore, expanding its population from the existing 50 to 200 people will obviously further enhance its survivability and thus better assist itself.
Of course, the output of its own copper and iron ingots will also increase further.
"Brother Xiaoshen, what are you...?!"
On the other side, seeing the large amount of upgrade resources that Lei Xiao had traded, Shen Banxia was sitting on a wooden stool at the entrance of the mansion, her long eyelashes flickering, and she could hardly believe her eyes.
"Consider these as my return gifts this time."
Lei Xiao smiled slightly, and then typed in the private message: "However, there is a small additional condition."
Then, Lei Xiao told Shen Banxia about the matters that Su Ru and the other five lords had created for him.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Xiaoshen, since my magic circle is idle most of the time, there is no problem with all of this!!!"
Shen Banxia's reply came immediately, and he used three exclamation points to express his excitement.
As a result, the development speed of her territory is undoubtedly ahead of most lords! You can also recruit more powerful second-level elite subordinates!
"That's it for now, see you later."
After typing the last line, Lei Xiao closed the private message and walked out of the lord's office.
Going down the spiral staircase, Lei Xiao soon arrived at the lobby on the first floor of the lord's mansion.
"Good morning, Lord!"
The old butler Ward, who had already cleaned the hall and made it look brand new, immediately came up with several maids, and they all bowed and saluted.
"Good morning, everyone, thank you for your hard work."
Lei Xiao drank the black tea brought by the maid and listened to Ward's talent show before walking out of the lord's mansion.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, a burst of fresh air mixed with the fragrance of plants hit his face, which made Lei Xiao's spirit lift up.
Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a pair of lavender magic wings appeared from behind him.
As his wings flapped, Lei Xiao jumped directly into the air and slowly floated in mid-air.
Facing the early morning sunshine, Lei Xiao looked around from a high position.
It was found that both the east and west gates and the towering walls surrounding the territory were obviously completely completed.
Under the illumination of the morning light, the armors and weapons of the subordinates standing guard on the city wall shone with silver light, making everything full of medieval simplicity.
"Not bad, not bad. In this way, the territory's defense capability will be improved to another level!"
Overjoyed, Lei Xiao's magic wings vibrated and began to fly slowly in the territory.
After some inspection, Lei Xiao noticed further.
The smell of cement in the territory has almost completely dissipated, and the cement smoothed out in the gaps of each fort has already been completely integrated with the fort, and it looks like a perfect fit.
"As expected of magic cement, which is said to be harder than stone after solidification, and can even resist spell attacks. I spent a lot of money to buy it."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao moved his eyes and continued to observe.
The five canteens in the southeastern part of the territory have also been renovated, and the aroma of cooking food is already coming from the large kitchen next to them.
"Each of these newly built canteens can accommodate 200 people, that is, the subordinates of the two squadrons can eat at the same time. It is undoubtedly sufficient at this stage."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and murmured to himself.
"In this way, the soldiers no longer have to eat in the open. I have to say that the territory's infrastructure is really getting better and better."
Feeling relieved, Lei Xiao landed slowly, then opened the territory slave interface and began to check it out.
"Currently, I have a total of nine second-level squadrons with a full set of third-level equipment for my elite soldiers."
"In addition to two squadrons of great swordsmen and a squadron of magicians deployed in Kongqing Town, two squadrons of shadows have been deployed throughout the eastern region of Lengyan."
I saw Lei Xiao's dark eyes moving, carefully checking the slave interface, and nodded thoughtfully.
"In addition to these five elite squadrons, there are also two heavy shield shooter squadrons in the territory that are both offensive and defensive, a heavily armored guard squadron that is good at defense, and a peasant squadron with all longbows."
< br>
"Of course, there is also a squadron of werewolf warriors and a squadron of half-elf archers, also equipped with a full set of third-level equipment. In other words, are there six second-level elite squadrons as the core force of the defense territory at this stage?"
< br>
Lei Xiao walked slowly in the territory and fell into deep thought.
"In addition to the ten-man third-level strong team such as Ward and Rudy, as well as the third-level pterosaur knight team that can support at any time, the two alchemists Xue Ya who has been promoted to the fourth level and Faxia who is at the peak of the third level, And the new illusionist Xiaoya..."
"With such a defensive force, coupled with the two surrounding surrendered races, unless the fifth-level powerhouse arrives, even an ordinary army of ten thousand people will not be able to easily invade the territory!"
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction and said to himself in his heart.
"Of course, there is also the Tower of Vision, which can attack specially, and the Light Healing Station, which can heal at any time, which can further increase the continuous defense capability of the territory. The most important thing is that in just one minute, I can use the city return crystal to quickly Back to the rescue.”
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows and continued to think while casually looking at the elite soldiers not far away who had been practicing for a while.
"Then again, if we can upgrade the mansion to another level, we will undoubtedly be able to unlock more population limits, further improving the territory's combat power."
"Coupled with the main resources required for upgrading, the problem of copper and iron ingots has been solved. In other words, the only problem left is the 2,000 units of fine steel ingots."
Lei Xiao pondered and nodded slightly, thinking in his mind.
"In addition to Fang Hai's ongoing construction, during the meeting later, I have to emphasize again that I will instruct subordinates in various places to step up the purchase of weapons made of fine steel ingots. We must strive for them. When the number of copper and iron ingots is sufficient tomorrow, we will Let’s start upgrading the mansion directly!”
After making up his mind, Lei Xiao sniffed the increasingly rich smell of butter in the air, and then took steps towards the large canteen area where meals were already being served.
Although the environment in the mansion restaurant was more comfortable, Lei Xiao still decided to lead the main force and subordinates to eat in the canteens of different squadrons every day.
In this way, not only can the morale of the soldiers be improved, but also the newly joined main subordinates such as Hongye and Xiaoya can be better integrated into the environment of the territory as soon as possible.
Lei Xiao came to the big cafeteria in a leisurely manner, after eating the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Rudy and other chefs.
As usual, all the main subordinates and squadron commanders were gathered together in the hall of the lord's mansion.
Next, it was naturally time to arrange work for the day. (End of chapter)
