At this time, looking at the subordinates standing respectfully at the bottom, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show a pensive expression again.

"According to what Carol, the captain of Shuiyue City's garrison, said.

My next target to conquer is the Holy Light General Ju Bai next to Ariel.

He was born in Chijian Town, which is about three days' carriage ride away from Mailan Town and located on the lower bank of the river between the territory and Kongqing Town.

Five years ago, this was an ordinary fishing town, run by a declining Earl family.

As an orphan, Orange Bai came from the monastery in this town.

And in the end, he was lucky enough to be adopted by the city lord's family. This was considered as receiving a formal education, which laid a good foundation for his later fame as Leng Yan."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao took the white porcelain cup handed by the maid and looked at the steaming black tea in it.

While continuing to think: "However, just after adulthood, Orange Bai.

When he joined the army of the Leng Yan royal family and began to make a mark on the battlefield.

However, there was a robbery by extremely professional bandits in Red Arrow Town.

As a result, the main palace and garrison of Red Arrow Town, including Ju Bai's adoptive parents, were completely wiped out, turning Red Arrow Town into a deserted land overnight.

Even the monastery where Ju Bai lived when he was a child, which adopted many orphans, was not spared and was directly burned to the ground by the flames."

Taking a sip of the steaming tea, Lei Xiao couldn't help but frown slightly and fell into deep thought again: "Finally, after a series of investigations.

It was discovered that the culprit of all this was Marquis Rocky, the lord of Pine Tower City in the surrounding area. The so-called bandits were just elite soldiers under his command pretending to be the ones.

As for its purpose, it is also very simple. It is to take Red Arrow Town as its own, and then develop the breeding of magic bead monsters, making Red Arrow Town a cash cow for itself.

And this move caused a large number of casualties to the local residents of Red Arrow Town. After all, the magic bead monster is an extremely difficult and difficult to manage monster.

Of course, the lives of these low-level people will not matter to the superior Marquis Rocky."

Taking another sip of the steaming black tea, Lei Xiao's brows became tighter and he continued to think: "According to Carol's further description, I also learned.

These things were finally acknowledged by Marquis Rocky.

However, because standing behind him was the most powerful prince of the Lengyan royal family.

Therefore, even though Ju Bai knows all the truth, she still has no way to deal with the other party and has no choice but to let her enemy continue to do whatever they want in her hometown."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao drank more than half of the black tea in the cup, and Lei Xiao couldn't help but raised his eyebrows slightly.

I thought to myself: "Therefore, the matter is undoubtedly very simple and clear.

If you want to conquer the Holy Light General Ju Bai, you will naturally have to start with Marquis Luo Ji.

The great prince behind him, whom others fear, does not pose much of a threat to me, the alien lord who is currently hiding in the dark.

However, it was only a matter of time before there was a direct conflict with the great prince.

After all, according to Ariel's personal maid Sei Hui and the deputy captain of the Guards, Aoki.

At the beginning, the eldest prince also participated in many assassinations of Ariel, and his methods could be described as extremely ruthless.

Once the other party is aware of my presence, I am afraid that this territory and Kongqing Town are not far away from Marquis Luoji.

It will inevitably become the opponent's pawn and pose a considerable threat to one's own side.

Therefore, for me, cutting off the opponent's wings in advance is only a matter of advantages and disadvantages."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

Without any warning, the sound of his reciting reminder suddenly rang.

After the call was connected, Nan Xing's sassy voice came over: "Lord Qi, an emergency has occurred!

The subordinates and Nanyue just discovered a third-level peak powerhouse who was acting suspiciously and was good at sneaking near the city lord's palace in Kongqing Town, and successfully subdued him.

After that, my subordinates discovered.

Before this man was captured, he had quietly killed two waves of Kongqing Town garrison teams patrolling the surrounding area.

It seems that he is looking for an opportunity to sneak into the city lord’s mansion!”

"He even killed two groups of my soldiers. This guy has already received a death pass for himself."

Hearing this, a look of awe suddenly appeared on Lei Xiao's face, and then he asked: "Where is this person now?"

"Back to the lord, this person has been imprisoned in the secret dungeon in the city lord's mansion by his subordinates and Nanyue.

Moreover, Lin and Guanzhong have immediately strengthened the security around the City Lord's Mansion and completely blocked the news. Lord, please rest assured."

Immediately afterwards, Nan Yue's clean and clear voice reached Lei Xiao's ears again.

"Very well done. This matter is no small matter. The top priority is to find out the origin of the other party. Please stay on standby at the City Lord's Mansion. I will be there soon."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao drank the remaining tea in the cup.

Then he looked at the tiger sticks at the bottom, Ye Cang, Chao Yan and other main powerhouses, and said: "Get ready to go, let's go to Kongqing Town first!"

"Yes! Lord!" Upon hearing this, all the subordinates immediately bowed, looking ready to go.

Just like that, accompanied by a burst of wind and lightning.

It didn't take long for Lei Xiao and his party, who were tired of their travels, to appear in the meeting hall of the Lord's Mansion in Kongqing Town.

At this time, except for Hu Zhan, Ye Cang, Chao Yan, Bai Wei, A Ling, and A Bing.

There are also three people, Nan Xing, Lin, and Fang Hai, who are small and exquisite, standing respectfully at the bottom.

As for Nan Yue, after questioning, Lei Xiao learned that the cold-blooded uninvited guest was being guarded in a secret dungeon.

"Lord Qi, because the information was blocked in a timely manner, Ariel and her party did not notice any abnormalities regarding this matter."

Lin took a step forward slightly, bowed and said: "Lord, although Kongqing Town has implemented extremely strict entry and exit inspection measures.

But for those strong men above level three who are good at sneaking.

It still had little effect, so my subordinates thought.

In addition to building a barrier of "Eye of Insight" within the scope of the city lord's mansion.

All arteries in the surrounding area should further strengthen their precautions.

Use a combination of open and hidden sentries to deploy defensive forces as the first solid line of defense in the peripheral area."

"Lin, I'll leave this to you, just go ahead and do it." Lei Xiao nodded slightly, frowned slightly again and said, "Have you learned anything about the other party's identity?"

"Back to the lord, this person has a very strict reputation. He didn't say a word after being caught. He tried to commit suicide several times, but was stopped by his subordinates."

On the other side, Lin and Nan Xing looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"Lord, maybe my subordinates have some ideas."

At this time, Ye Cang took a step forward, bowed slightly and said.

Immediately afterwards, he gracefully pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and the metal skull necklace on his chest immediately reflected a dazzling cold light.

"Just do it, no matter what means you use, as long as you can get some useful information." Hearing this, Lei Xiao waved his hand slightly, signaling the other party to start taking action immediately.

There is no doubt that as a dark priest, Ye Cang, who is good at spiritual attacks, is specialized in dealing with such a tough-talking guy.

"As ordered, please rest assured, Lord." He bowed to Lei Xiao again, and under the guidance of Lin and Nan Xing, Ye Cang began to walk out of the hall.

After the three people left, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then asked the old forger in a brocade robe: "Mr. Fang Hai, how are the preparations for the forging equipment going?"

"Back to the lord, all the materials for forging [Bright Silver Bright Light Armor] have been gathered, and my subordinates are in the process of forging it.

Moreover, the subordinates also used the resources of the city lord's mansion to obtain a new third-level weapon blueprint [stainless steel spur gun].

At present, most of the materials have been collected, leaving only the most critical fine steel ingots. My subordinates were also lucky enough to find some of this material, which is mainly produced by the dwarves.

It is estimated that it will be shipped this evening. Although the quantity is not large, it can be forged two or three, so it should not be a problem." On the other side, Fang Hai bowed slightly and responded respectfully.

"Fine steel ingot?" Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up.

At this stage, if you want to continue upgrading the lord's mansion.

The most important resource is the refined steel ingot, which is a level 3 rare resource.

In order to obtain this rare resource, Lei Xiao once disassembled all the third-level metal equipment on hand, but still got nothing.

"Regarding the issue of fine steel ingots, I originally wanted to ask Fang Hai for a while, but I didn't expect that it has already reached this step!"

Realizing this, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Mr. Fang Hai, wait until the forging materials for the stainless steel spur gun are available.

We must forge a few as soon as possible. This is one of the most important things for us now, and we must treat it as the highest priority."

"I obey! Lord, please rest assured." Upon hearing this, Fang Hai's old face was full of seriousness, and he saluted Lei Xiao again.

Just like that, after talking with Fang Hai for a while.

The door at the end of the hall is reopened.

Immediately afterwards, sisters Ye Cang, Lin, and Nan Xing Nan Yue appeared in front of Lei Xiao.

At this point, it can be clearly seen.

There was still a pleasant smile on the corner of Ye Cang's mouth, as if he had just participated in a grand event.

"Lord Qi, the matter has been completely clarified."
