Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly and thought to himself: "I hope Jiang Li won't encounter any trouble and returns to the territory as soon as possible. In this way, my strength will naturally rise to a new level again!"

"After all, the current situation

It is no longer optimistic. Just in the eastern region of Lengyan, the eldest prince and the second prince are equivalent to the legion-level combat power of more than a dozen fifth-level experts. On paper, it is enough to defeat the current territory.

pose a considerable threat. "

He frowned slightly,

Lei Xiao fell into deep thought again.

In addition, the news that Ariel, the fifth princess, led the mountain fortress defenders to repel the invading Holy Night Army, should have reached the ears of the three princes, and the other party will definitely start to take the next step. .

Moreover, the possibility of a certain prince sending an assassin again cannot be ruled out.

The most important thing is that it is accompanied by the collection of intelligence from the other party.

As the princess's guest, I, the Lord of Kongqing City, will soon be analyzed and speculated by the opponent, and then completely enter the opponent's sight, coupled with the news that a fifth-level powerhouse is active on the battlefield.

What is certain is that the level of threat they pose will undoubtedly rise in the minds of the three princes.

"Originally, through previous intelligence, in the eyes of the three princes, I, the sudden new Lord of Kongqing City, was just an insignificant guy.

They will not be cleaned up until their hands are free, and they are the secondary targets for eradication. "

"And now, since I have publicly sided with Ariel, then the situation will naturally be completely different."

"Besides, once the fact that I have a fifth-level warrior at the Zhenguo level under my command is confirmed by the other party, the other party will regard Ariel and me as an absolute thorn in their side on the road to power. As a result, a war will be inevitable. ."

Lei Xiao's brows were seen getting more and more furrowed.

I continued to think in my mind: "However, fortunately, on the surface, I only control the small city of Kongqing Town, which will not allow the other party to easily launch an attack. After all, the three princes are also secretly constraining each other." contain."

"As you can imagine, once the war breaks out, no one wants to be the mantis hunting cicadas.

It gave other opponents an opportunity to take advantage of, and this just gave me the opportunity to continue developing secretly. "

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's frowned brows immediately relaxed, and he muttered: "When I thoroughly investigate the forces of the three princes in this area, and control enough neutral cities and troops, the war will naturally begin. It’s time for the opening.”

"And, it is foreseeable that that day is no longer far away, and at the same time, the time left for me is also numbered."

Taking a deep breath of the fresh air in the forest ruins, Lei Xiao refocused his attention on the messy fountain gravel in front of him.

"By the way, according to what Lao Xiaoer just said, although he doesn't know what is in this secret treasure, what is certain is that there must be several fifth-level national-level magic weapons stored in it, and they must be preserved. Very good."

"Ignoring everything else, if you can get one of the fifth-level magic weapons and upgrade them, if you are lucky enough to get a sixth-level two-handed sword or a sixth-level claw thorn, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the combat power of Tiger Stick and Hongye."

"In this way, the two of them will be able to occupy a greater absolute advantage whether it is on the future battlefield or when facing off against an opponent's fifth-level powerhouse."

At this time, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully while looking at the desolate and weathered ruins.

Currently, he has two sixth-level magic weapons on his body.

They are the lance [Purple Winged Demonic Dragon Spear] and the staff [The Other Side of Time].

Needless to say, [Purple Winged Demonic Dragon Spear], even if it were given to Lin now, it would not be of much use, and would instead be coveted by the enemy.

Jiang Li's staff [The Other Side of Time] can exert its greatest power in the hands of a user with elven blood flowing through it.

Moreover, Lei Xiao had tested it before. If he used it himself, its power would be between the fourth and fifth levels, which was far less useful than the fifth-level [Wand of Nature].

Therefore, after careful consideration, Lei Xiao did not allow other subordinates to use him during Jiang Li's absence.

After all, as I thought just now, sixth-level equipment is too precious.

The rich splendor emanating from it is far more difficult to suppress than the fifth-level weapons, and it is easy for the enemy to spot the clues.

Therefore, once exposed, the holder will immediately become the target of public criticism and be besieged by envious enemies.

In this case, not only is the life of the holder at risk, but if it is damaged or taken away by the enemy, it will naturally be a loss that outweighs the gain.

"As for Hong Ye, she has met the conditions for use, but she herself is extremely resistant to using the staff."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but curled his lips slightly.

He secretly said in his heart: "It's no wonder. After all, he was a red dragon flying in the sky before. After turning into a human form, he is still good at using claws to attack, but using a staff is indeed a bit difficult for the dragon. , it will take some time to get used to it.”

"However, fortunately, due to Hongye's special physique, his spell power and magic power reserves are significantly better than those of ordinary fifth-level magic powerhouses. It can be regarded as canceling out the two."

Under the towering tree, looking at the ancient ruins covered in emerald green in front of him, Lei Xiao paced slowly while snapping his fingers and said: "In short, when Jiang Li's return date has not yet been determined, if you want to open this place If it’s a thousand-year secret treasure, do we still have to look for the descendants of the Loren royal family?”

At this time, the mirage of the thin girl carrying the basket appeared in Lei Xiao's mind again.

"The mirage projected is sometimes a scene that is happening now, and sometimes it is a scene that has happened in the past. But according to Chaoyan, even if it is a scene that has happened in the past, it will never be the same as the scene that has happened in the past. It’s such a long time difference now.”

"Thinking about it carefully, the reason why I feel deja vu is very likely because the mirage is a scene from the past, and the real person I have seen with my own eyes is what the girl will look like when she grows up. As the saying goes It’s not surprising that this happens when women undergo a major transformation.”

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up and he suddenly became enlightened.

However, following this line of thought, when Lei Xiao went through all the local aborigines he had seen since he traveled through time in his mind, he still found nothing.

"Where did I see her? Who is she? Well, maybe if I see her again, I can remember her."

Shaking his head helplessly, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment.

Then he said to the old blacksmith beside him who was still in excitement: "Mr. Fang Hai, when we return to Kongqing Town, let the best painter in the city draw a picture of that mirage based on the mirage we just saw. A portrait of a young girl and printed and copied by magic.

Then, quickly send your cronies to distribute it, and mobilize leaders from various places and members of the Shadow Squadron to conduct secret searches. If you find anything, you must report it to me as soon as possible. "

"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"

On the other side, Fang Hai immediately bowed and accepted the order.

"Okay, now that the matter has come to an end, let's leave this forest first."

As insects chirped and jumped around, Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates again, listening to the faint sound of waterfalls coming from the direction of the Songyin Mountains not far away.

"Lord, how about we take a trip to Blue Cold Castle?"

Bert pondered for a moment, and then suggested: "Last time, Her Royal Highness the Princess said that this place is not far from Blue Cold Castle."

After a pause, Bert added: "Furthermore, City Lord Orr also mentioned before that as the leading brewing town in the eastern region of Lengyan, the wealth reserves of Blue Cold Castle should not be underestimated. If it can be controlled, from In all aspects, it will definitely play a big role for us."

"Lord, what Senior Bert said is absolutely true. Even if we can't get it, we must not let it fall into the hands of other princes!"

On the other side, a murderous look appeared on the orange-white face involuntarily, and he bowed to Lei Xiao.

"That's exactly what I meant."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao stepped onto the giant white wolf and continued to Princess Lengyan beside him: "Ariel, lead the way. The target is the brewing town of Blue Cold Castle!"

"As you command! Lord Lord!"

After bowing to Lei Xiao, Ariel stroked her chest and said.

Next, under the guidance of Ariel.

After a lot of speed, the group of people, who were once again wearing invisibility cloaks, passed through this rather vast dense forest and galloped straight towards the plains in the southeast.

Lei Xiao, who had just flown out of the forest and arrived under the bright sunshine, was riding on a giant white wolf. While feeling the strong wind whistling by his ears, he thought of what Ariel had said about the Lord of Blue Cold Castle before. description of.

"The city lord named Rose Marquis is called Shuanghua. It sounds like an unusual name."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao continued to think: "In addition, when he was young, this person once served as the royal brewer of the Leng Yan royal family and had contact with Ariel."

"However, the weird expression on Ariel's face when she mentioned this person at that time shows that this person is obviously not an ordinary person. After all, he can make the unruly and willful fifth princess of Leng Yan show such a It’s the first time I’ve seen such an expression.”

At this time, Lei Xiao's face couldn't help but show an increasingly curious look, and he began to look forward to it.

Currently, there are no Shadow Squadron members stationed in Blue Cold Fort.

Judging from the information obtained from Orr, the garrison here is about 5,000 people, but the population size is slightly inferior to that of Kongqing Town.

As for the pillar industry in the whole town, there is naturally only one, and that is brewing fine wine.

"The population is not large, but it has such a large number of garrison troops. It seems that the financial resources of Blue Cold Castle cannot be underestimated."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

On the endless plain ahead, the vague outline of a city has begun to slowly emerge.

At this time, the first thing that appeared in front of Lei Xiao's eyes was a series of green orchards, and then a series of green wheat fields appeared.

Under the bright sunshine, looking from a distance, there is a vibrant picture everywhere, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

"It seems that these well-kept orchards and wheat fields are the raw materials for making wine."

Noticing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Next, there was another pursuit of wind and lightning.

Further ahead, the green wheat fields on both sides of the road intersected with narrow country roads, and the towering city walls in the distance gradually came into view.

"Lord, ahead is the outskirts of Blue Cold Castle. We will soon reach our destination."

Immediately afterwards, Ariel's crisp voice reached Lei Xiao's ears through her words.

"Very good, let's find a nearby hiding place, put on the illusion cloak, and let's start walking."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao immediately ordered the subordinates.

In this way, after some illusion and disguise, coupled with the travel backpack and other items provided in the storage ring, Lei Xiao and others were no different from ordinary travelers.

After walking along the narrow gravel road for about ten minutes, the group of people, who looked like they were tired of traveling, stepped onto a neatly repaired broad road.

At this time, Lei Xiao noticed.

This avenue is quite lively. From time to time, you can see groups of carriages filled with wine barrels, driving slowly past under the whips and shouts of the coachmen.

The escorts of these convoys were not only mercenaries dressed in different styles, but also many garrison soldiers with uniform equipment. Judging from the coat of arms engraved on the chests of their armors, they were obviously from other cities.

"Lord, this is indeed a brewing town. My subordinates can already smell the strong smell of fermented fruits, sour and sweet."

Bai Wei, who had a keen sense of smell, wrinkled her nose, sniffed lightly, and whispered to Lei Xiao.

"You girl, your words make my teeth sore."

Lei Xiao smiled helplessly and swallowed subconsciously.

However, before he could say anything else,

Bai Wei's expression on the side suddenly became nervous, and she quickly came over and whispered to Lei Xiao: "Lord, in addition, my subordinates also smelled a strange beast's body odor. There seems to be some kind of dangerous monster lurking in the city!"

"oh?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but have a look of confusion on his face.

At this time, with a brisk pace, the group was already close to the city gate.

No matter whether it is from the orderly caravans and horses, the travelers and guests, or the neatly lined garrison soldiers above and below the city, there is no trace of confusion or tension.

"How could there be traces of dangerous monsters in such a peaceful and well-ordered town?"

Realizing this, the doubtful look on Lei Xiao's cheek became more obvious.
