Chapter 1440 Achievement and Return
"Oh?"
After hearing what Loris said, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded to signal the other party to continue.
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, there is an extremely rare underground mineral vein on the border between the Rainforest Fortress Alliance and the Desert Alliance, which can produce exotic minerals. If I remember correctly, this should be what Your Majesty has been looking for, right?"
Loris gritted his teeth and continued, "In addition to the dormant [God's Stone], this leader is willing to offer 500 exotic ores and the mining rights of that mine. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
After hearing what Loris said, Lei Xiao immediately became interested.
You know, the colorful ingots refined from the colorful ore are the key resources for upgrading the lord's mansion. They are also the only upgrade resources that you currently lack. Its role is self-evident.
As for why the other party knew that he needed this kind of resources, it was actually obvious. After all, he had mobilized all the forces under his command to search for it together, so it was not surprising that the other party, who was well-informed, knew about it.
If the 500 exotic ores and the entire mineral vein are taken together, plus the [God's Stone], it has indeed met my expectations.
Regardless of whether the mine can still produce the resources he needs, the 500 exotic ores alone are enough to make him excited.
After all, everyone had been searching for such a long time, but all the refined exotic ores and ready-made exotic ingots added together only amounted to 100 units.
According to past experience, 500 exotic ores can be refined into at least 100 more units of exotic ingots, which is obviously a very considerable harvest.
"That's fine. Since Lord Rainforest Chief is so sincere, I will treat it as making a friend of yours."
Although he had achieved his psychological expectations, Lei Xiao still looked quite embarrassed. Under Loris's eager gaze, he pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "The handover of the veins and ores will be handled by His Excellency the Administrator."
With the assistance of the Trade Guardian's Shadow Market, Lei Xiao would not worry about Loris playing any tricks.
"Understood. Then please ask Mr. Rainforest Chief to sign the corresponding transaction contract."
The administrator took out the parchment that had been prepared long ago and spread it neatly in front of Loris.
"Thank you, His Majesty, for your help!"
After getting Lei Xiao's consent, Loris Lion could not hide the joy on his face. He quickly picked up the feather pen and quickly completed the next steps.
Then, Loris glanced at Sina with contempt, causing veins on the latter's fair forehead to appear.
"Your Majesty, in addition to the ten containers, I am willing to give you two more mineral veins!"
Looking at Loris's smug lion face, Xina, who was already anxious, was not willing to be outdone, and quickly said: "Among them, there is a magic mine that produced ten containers, and another one has produced an extremely rare holy stone!"
When Xina said this, Lei Xiao's eyes lit up again.
It goes without saying that there are mineral veins that produce magic containers, and the Holy Stone is exactly what he needs, and he even thought about it just now!
As long as he could obtain this extremely rare natural magic ore, he would be able to open the channel to meet Wang Xi again. Then he could use the container to bring Wang Xi out of the place where his ancestors were sleeping, and he would naturally be able to use it for himself.
“Although Wang Xi’s strength is limited and his influence is only within the scope of the Cold Flame Kingdom, he is a pioneer traverser after all, and he also possesses an incomplete lord interface and prompt talent.”
"Although this reminder talent is not stable and Wang Xi can hardly control it at will, it is better than nothing and can be considered a help."
"What's more, this old guy knows some powerful people from the outside world. He played a crucial role in the Battle of Fort Kell. Maybe he can be of some help in the future."
"Besides that, this guy is Ariel's ancestor, so he is somewhat related to me."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao gathered his thoughts and raised his eyebrows towards Xi Na. "Chief Huangsha, although the two mines you provided are good, they do not provide ready-made ores. Whether in terms of time cost or manpower cost, they are obviously inferior."
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, the Holy Stone that I obtained earlier was traded to someone else a hundred years ago."
Xina immediately understood the meaning of Lei Xiao's words, and responded helplessly: "Although I still have some magic crystals here, the quality is relatively limited. If His Majesty the Human Race does not mind, I am willing to take out another 100 magic crystals of medium and low quality."
"Then I will reluctantly agree."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao showed the same embarrassed expression as before.
For me at the moment, although the reserves of sixth-level equipment are still relatively limited, being able to easily access these things is absolutely perfect!
"Originally, I just planned to use the sixth-level equipment to attract the two to come and find out the truth. I didn't expect that everything would go so smoothly and I even got these unexpected gains!"
Lei Xiao thought so, his expression remained calm.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity!"
Xina's fair face was filled with an expression of great joy, and her snake-like hair swayed from side to side with pleasure. To be able to obtain a set of sixth-level equipment was undoubtedly what she had always dreamed of!
After that, the corresponding transaction contract was signed, and under the witness of the manager, both parties got the items they needed, and the scene became extremely lively.
"It is worthwhile to be able to make friends with His Majesty the Human Race."
In the spacious and bright hall, Loris had already put on a brand new sixth-level armor. He looked high-spirited and nodded to Lei Xiao, saying, "If His Majesty the Human Race has any more sixth-level equipment, please inform this leader immediately!"
"Leader of the Rainforest, please stop joking. Level 6 equipment is not something you can get casually. I just happened to get something that matches the two leaders."
Lei Xiao looked at the other's seemingly friendly lion face and just smiled faintly.
This guy seemed to be greeting me, but in fact, he was undoubtedly trying to find out my background.
Although this transaction was very successful and a plan to fight the lich together was established, in the final analysis, both parties were just getting what they needed.
Once the lich is completely eradicated, the opponent's lion's mouth may still be facing him, so he will naturally not hand over his own secrets.
"Your Majesty, I look forward to meeting you again."
Xina had also changed into a new sixth-level robe. She blinked at Lei Xiao with her beautiful eyes and said, "Perhaps our communication will be more in-depth in the future."
"Thank you for your kindness, Chief Huangsha."
Lei Xiao had the same attitude towards this charming and killer Gorgon Queen and just smiled in response.
Then, Lei Xiao stopped smiling and said seriously, "I hope you two will not forget what I just said. The news that asked you to deploy troops is definitely not groundless."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Rainforest Fortress Alliance will never allow black sheep to exist."
Loris's lion face also became solemn again, and he nodded and said, "When we return, we will immediately start a thorough investigation of this matter."
"I will do the same here. I will immediately eliminate these insects, no matter who they are."
Xina's eyebrows were also furrowed, and she responded: "I will never let these guys go."
"Very good, then tomorrow night is the time for us to march together, and we must completely wipe out the lich by then."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and concluded: "As for the specific details, we will meet here tomorrow evening to discuss them together."
Hearing this, the two leaders nodded, and the other strong men from the two alliances also looked ready to fight.
After everything was arranged, everyone waved goodbye and soon left the Shadow Market under the guidance of the manager, disappearing into the depths of the night.
"Your Majesty, they have all left."
After confirming that only our strong men were left in the market, the manager said to Lei Xiao: "I have to say that your majesty's move this time was really a great success."
"Thanks to the assistance of His Excellency the Administrator."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, then summoned our senior leaders next door and immediately began to deploy the next matters, including preparations for action against the Lich.
During this process, Lei Xiao also specifically emphasized one point, that is, there should be no relaxation of vigilance on the major border fortresses, and he even secretly transferred all the ancient dark elves to our fortress near Yingming Valley.
At this distance, it is actually beyond the normal activity range of the ancient dark elves, causing the strength of Jace and others to decline a lot. Only Jian Qiang can still maintain the combat power of 10 quasi-fourth-level legions.
At the same time, the Miying Market also left Yingming Valley and returned to our territory.
"Your Majesty, since we have reached a temporary cooperation with the two alliances, isn't it a bit too cautious to act in this way?"
A look of confusion emerged on Bruno's bull face, and he couldn't help but wonder.
"No matter what, compared to the two opposing forces, we are at an absolute disadvantage. It is always right to be cautious."
Lei Xiao nodded to Bruno and responded, "Besides, don't forget that the lich has not been wiped out yet, and we can't rule out the possibility that the other party will play some tricks again."
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, everyone nodded thoughtfully, and then took action according to Lei Xiao's instructions.
Just as Lei Xiao was making his deployment, the night wind was chilly, and the two powerful teams of Xina and Loris also returned to their respective territories.
At the edge of a wasteland, Xina and her group had just flown past a depression when a tall figure came into view.
I saw that its body was extremely burly. Under the reflection of the moonlight under the cypress trees, its huge wolf head with fangs was exposed, and low roars kept coming from its throat.
Seeing that figure, both Xina and other strong men from the Wild Sand Alliance stopped in their tracks, their faces solemn.
The person who came was none other than Lucas, the deputy leader of the Desert Alliance.
Before this, the reason why Xina avoided talking to Lucas was because the latter had disappeared inexplicably for two days and no trace could be found.
As the deputy leader of the Desert Alliance, once the news of his disappearance spreads, it will undoubtedly cause quite a stir. Not only will it affect the morale within the alliance, it may even allow opponents who have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
"Lucas, where have you been these past two days?"
Looking at the other person who was filled with hostility, Xina's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness and said in a deep voice.
It was because of Lucas' suggestion that Xina chose to deploy troops in our territory. Coupled with Lei Xiao's reminder, Xina naturally thought that the other party was the black sheep.
After hearing Xina's question, Lucas did not speak, but slowly began to approach Xina and her group. The wolf's sharp fangs were exposed on its face, saliva was constantly flowing out, and murderous intent was boiling all over its body.
At the same time, around Lucas, a group of powerful men with deathly aura all around them flew out one after another. Their withered faces, like mummies, were filled with twisted and sinister smiles.
"It's the Lich! It seems that the deputy leader has really become one of theirs!"
The masked man's hands immediately revealed sharp claws, protecting Xina in front of him, and the other strong men of the Desert Alliance also drew their weapons, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Currently, the moonlight was at its peak, making Lucas' already extremely powerful strength enough to compete with Sheena.
And those liches are all at the sixth level. In addition, liches are good at controlling the undead, and there is no telling how many enemies are hiding in the dark. In this case, even if they, as the top combat forces in the alliance, work together, they are not sure they can defeat their opponents.
What's more, since the other party has shown up on their own initiative, they must have set up many ambushes and are confident that they can defeat them.
Just as the two sides were about to start a fierce battle, another stern female voice sounded: "Protect Her Majesty the Queen!"
As the voice fell, more than a dozen powerful Gorgon warriors exuding the vast aura of the sixth level swung their huge snake bodies and descended from the sky, protecting Xina.
The one who made the sound just now was the leader of this group of Gorgons, Belinda, Sina's sister and also the captain of Sina's personal guard.
Seeing Belinda's appearance, the tense expression on Xina's fair face eased a little. These bodyguards were all famous strong men of her clan. With their reinforcement, there would be no problem in escaping smoothly.
Seeing this, the other powerful men from the Wild Sand Alliance who had been following Xina all became more powerful and more confident.
"Sister Wang, we can't stay here for long. Let's leave here first."
Sina nodded to Belinda beside her. It was obvious that she had no intention of getting entangled with Lucas here. Instead, she was going to return and mobilize the army first. By then, it would be easy to eliminate these guys.
The most crucial thing is that Xina, as the leader of Huangsha, clearly understood that since the other party had set an ambush here, they probably had more or less guessed that she was going to attack the lich, and had even made a lot of countermeasures, putting her in a passive position.
In this situation, only by taking control of the army can we turn the passive situation into the active one.
However, before Xina finished her words, an unexpected change occurred. (End of this chapter)
