"It turns out that it's because I can't see through the strength of anyone in the room... Moreover, that burly man seems to be a fifth-level strongman with monstrous strength!"

At this moment, Nate looked at Lei Xiao, who was sitting at the top, and the strong men of his own side who were standing proudly, and there was a shocking wave in his heart.

He never thought that the gentle-faced young man in front of him would actually hide such a huge amount of energy!

"He actually has the allegiance of a fifth-level powerhouse. Who is this young master? Is he really just a city lord?"

Looking up at Lei Xiao with a calm expression not far away, Nate's throat rolled and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit.

There is no doubt that such strength is more than enough to deal with the two second-level and well-equipped mine guards!

Realizing this, Nate's resolute face suddenly showed a hint of uncontrollable joy.

If this adult is really willing, help them, the residents of Magnet Town.

So, these dark days are really about to usher in the light before dawn!

"Guan Zhong's character is upright and upright, so much so that he is quite at odds with the former city lord of Kongqing Town. I know this."

While he was overjoyed, Nate continued to think in his mind: "However, the fact that this new city lord is able to win over such a crowd, be so full of praise, and willing to bow his head is enough to show that he is definitely an extraordinary person.

What is even more unbelievable is that this lord is actually willing to save the residents of Kongqing Town who have been trapped for many years... Oh, if only my lord, the city lord, could be half as generous as he is.

Our Magnet Town will not be reduced to such a state where the people are in dire straits!"

Thinking of this, the crisp sound of armor clashing sounded, and Nate lowered his head, knelt down on one knee in front of Lei Xiao and said: "Commander Nate of the Magnet Town garrison, please see the Lord of Kongqing Town!"

"Commander Nate, there is no need to be polite."

Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao raised his hand slightly to signal the other party to stand up, and then said: "I think you should already know the purpose of our trip, right?

We still need the help of Commander Nate on this trip, so I apologize for the inconvenience."

"Sir, what are you talking about?"

On the other side, Nate waved his hand quickly and continued with some flattery: "To be honest, in recent years, due to the city lord's insistence on going his own way and ordering all the people to mine at all costs.

The entire Magnet Town is almost on the verge of collapse, so that the most basic food, clothing, housing and transportation are difficult to guarantee. Coupled with the high-intensity work, hunger and cold are everywhere, and the population has dropped sharply.

If this continues, Magnet Town may become a ghost town within a few years."

Having said this, Nate sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Even our two brigades of Magnet Town garrison take turns guarding and mining. As for military pay, that's not to mention

I'm lucky to be alive."

"Have you really reached the point where you are desperate?"

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao raised the tea cup, took a sip of the fragrant tea that A Ling had just brewed, and then said: "What exactly happened at that time that caused the Lord of Magnet City to be so desperate for mining?"

"My lord, I don't understand this either." Nate sighed again, with a melancholy look on his face, shook his head in confusion, and continued: "I guess your lord already knows.

Back then, this blazing crystal mine was originally developed by the former Lord of Kong Qing City and our Lord of Magnet City.

At the beginning, everything was very normal, but suddenly one day, the situation changed unexpectedly."

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and motioned for the other party to continue speaking.

“Once, our Lord of the City of Magnet Town suddenly gathered all of us officials from the town together and announced that from now on Magnet Town would independently develop the mineral veins.

He also ordered the elimination of all external forces in the city such as the Mercenary Guild, the Merchants Association, and the Merchant Trade Fair."

At this time, Nate's eyes were blurred, apparently lost in memories: "At that time, all the officials who objected were imprisoned by the city lord without exception.

It was also during that time that our city lord recruited two mine guard squadrons from outside the city who were doing all kinds of evil."

Having said this, Nate clenched his fist tightly and continued: "These two mine guard squadrons are all above the second level and well-equipped, and they also have five third-level strong men standing guard.

As for our two garrison brigades, I am the only commander of the third level. I still don't have enough to eat every day, and my weapons and equipment are in tatters.

In addition, the other party controls our family and uses coercion and inducement, so we have been able to endure it until now.

However, to be honest with you, during this period of time, we have become intolerable and are looking for opportunities to make them suffer."

"That's it." Lei Xiao nodded slightly, motioned to A Bing who was standing beside him, poured Nate a cup of tea, and continued to listen.

"Thank you very much, sir!" Nate, who was a little flattered after receiving the steaming smooth white porcelain cup, pondered for a moment and then said: "By the way, there is one more thing. Back then, under the order of our city lord.

I once secretly transported various precious collectibles worth hundreds of thousands of golden dragons to the outskirts of Kongqing Town, where they were received by the mercenary group under the former Lord of Kongqing City."

"I remembered..." After hearing this, Guanzhong suddenly showed a look of enlightenment and said thoughtfully: "I remember a few years ago.

The former city lord indeed suddenly obtained a large number of valuable items, so he happily invested one-third of the money to replace me and several other garrison captains with new second-level equipment.

Now that I think about it, it’s time to withdraw from the mine!”

Having said this, everyone in the crowd looked at Lei Xiao with a little more uncontrollable reverence.

There is no doubt that no matter from which aspect, compared with the current lord, the former Lord of Kong Qing City is simply not worth mentioning.

"I understand, it turns out that the former city lord finally bowed down to a large amount of money.

This is indeed in line with his style of taking things by force." Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

"Indeed, it's no wonder that the former city lord gave up mining. According to a rough estimate, hundreds of thousands of golden dragons are equivalent to the total revenue of Magnet Town's mining volume in several years."

At this time, Lin on the side also showed a suddenly enlightened expression.

But immediately, a look of confusion appeared on her pretty face: "But this makes things even more strange. Then why did the Lord of Magnet City do this?

Isn’t this equivalent to handing over all the interests of the mine for several years to the former Lord of Kongqing City?”

“Not only that, but what’s even more difficult to understand is.

In the past few years, our Lord of Magnet City has not exported the mineral veins at all, but has kept them all in his own hands..."

On the other side, Nate's resolute face was full of confusion, and he added: "Moreover, even the city lord's palace was directly moved to a mine filled with a large amount of ore, which is simply unbelievable."

"The excavated ore was not exported? Did the city lord's palace be moved directly into the mine?" Upon hearing this, everyone present also showed puzzled expressions.

"Yes, our Lord City Lord has ruled Magnet Town for more than ten years.

Before this, his personality was just a little irritable and irritable, far from reaching the level of madness now." On the other side, Nate shook his head again and said helplessly.

"So, did the Lord of Magnet City suddenly change after mining the veins?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin.

While thinking about it, he said: "It seems that all of this is obviously inextricably linked to the blazing crystal mineral vein.

So much so that he would rather give up a large number of golden dragons, part ways with the former Lord of Kongqing City, and choose to own this mineral vein alone."

"But, this is too confusing." Linda frowned slightly and said: "What kind of magic power does this flaming crystal vein have, so that the Lord of the Magnet City can be so obsessed with it?

Moved directly into the mine?"

"We don't know yet about this."

After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao drank all the tea in the cup and concluded: "In short, what we can know so far is this.

This kind of price is not considered top-grade Blazing Flame Crystal, and it obviously has an extraordinary appeal to the Magnet City Lord.

Moreover, this kind of attraction is far beyond the normal scope, so that it can even give up a large amount of wealth, the residents under its rule, and even the entire city.

As for why this situation that goes against common sense is caused, I am afraid only the Lord of Magnet City himself knows."

"I have to say, all this is really confusing." A rustling voice sounded, and Lin nodded thoughtfully.

"Okay, now that we understand what's going on here, what happens next is very clear.

That is to first cut off the Wing Mine Guards of the Lord of Magnet City, and then just ask him directly."

Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Lei Xiao stood up from his seat and spoke to the powerful men and Nate at the bottom.

"Please rest assured, sir, that in this operation, our two garrison brigades in Magnet Town will fully cooperate with your actions and fight side by side with you!"

Directly opposite, Nate couldn't help but look excited, and said, "I've long wanted to cut those evil-doing guys into pieces!"

…

The central area of ​​Magnet Town, the headquarters of the Mine Guard Team.

At this time, in a spacious and bright hall, a middle-aged man with a sullen face was sitting at the top with his eyes closed and meditating.

Below him, there were more than a dozen strong men standing with equally formidable faces.

"Vice Captain, the work efficiency of these Kongqing Town residents has dropped significantly recently. Should they be allowed to see blood?"

At this time, I saw a thin man at the bottom, smiling.

"Just kill a few less and let them remember it for a long time." Nodding slightly, the angry man at the top slowly opened his eyes and said calmly.

"By the way, deputy captain, Yanjiao led the team to deal with a lame miner from Kongqing Town. He hasn't come back yet. Should you send someone to have a look?" The thin man said with clasped fists in salute.

"Don't worry, that guy from Yanjiao is tall and powerful, but he is a second-level peak master. Is there something that might have delayed him on his way back?"

Before the scar-faced man could speak, another strong man in the lower position smiled lewdly.

"Hehe, that's right." The thin man suddenly showed the same smile.

Then, he said to the angry man at the top: "Vice-captain, our captain has been attacking the fourth-level powerhouse for a few days. There should be results, right?"

"It should be soon. Recently, Nate, who seems harmless to humans and animals, always feels like he is doing something behind his back.

At that time, we will naturally let these wastes of them give up this idea completely." The angry man nodded slightly and said: "In addition, according to the captain, the Lord of Magnet City has become more and more weird recently.

The momentum exuded from his body makes even the captain at the peak level of the third level feel a terrible threat. When the captain is promoted to the fourth level, maybe this magnet town will be our world."
