Chapter 1359 Preparation
Lei Xiao's eyes were deep. While he was looking at the huge Flower Fairy Capital, he said, "That's the question at the beginning. Since the news originally came from the Light Half-Elves, how did the Light Half-Elves know where the mineral vein is?"
"Your Majesty is right. This is indeed puzzling."
A trace of contemplation emerged on Shult's old face with wood-colored lines all over it, and it was obvious that he had not figured out the problem.
"That's right. Even if the most powerful detector stood at the foot of the mineral vein, he might not be able to discover its existence. How did the light half-elf thousands of miles away know this?"
Broy echoed this with a puzzled look on his face.
“It’s really confusing.”
Fanny's fair face also had a similar expression. She frowned and said, "Originally, I thought that if it was the Shadow Market, which is a place favored by the gods, there might be a slight possibility of discovering mineral veins. However, the Light Half-Elves are only a second-rate force affiliated with the Light Elves. It is really hard to imagine how they did it."
As Fanny finished her words, the other strong men present all looked confused and shook their heads.
Looking at the confused expressions of Fanny and others, Lei Xiao gently stroked his chin, then nodded slightly and said: "I think I know how the other party did it."
"Oh?"
Hearing the voice, everyone's eyes lit up and they all looked over.
"The answer is actually very simple."
Lei Xiao patted his chest and said, "That is the same existence as me."
"An existence similar to His Majesty the Human?"
Broy was stunned at first, then blurted out: "Your Majesty, are you saying that the other party got the information about the mineral veins from other alien lords?!"
“That being said, there is indeed such a possibility.”
Chris also reacted quickly and said suddenly, "It is said that the lords of other worlds often possess extremely special talents. Although it is difficult for people to understand, perhaps they can really detect the specific location of the mineral vein thousands of miles away!"
"The Lord of another world?"
A trace of hesitation flashed across Fanny's fair face, and she nodded thoughtfully.
As we all know, unlike the human territory, it is relatively rare for alien lords to descend directly into the outer realm.
After all, compared with the human territory, everything in the outside world is too ferocious. Even the giant armored warblers that can be seen everywhere are a deadly threat to the lords of other worlds. This is a clear example.
Perhaps this is also the direct reason why alien lords rarely appear in the outer realms, because landing in the outer realms is simply the beginning of purgatory, with almost no room for survival.
Therefore, even for the many forces standing in the outer realms, their understanding of the lords from other worlds is often extremely limited, and what they occasionally discover are only the ruins of the lord's mansion that have long been dilapidated.
After summarizing all the information about the alien lords in her mind, Fanny gathered her thoughts and asked Lei Xiao, "Your Majesty, are you saying that the light half-elves have established cooperation with a certain alien lord who has the talent for detecting mineral veins, and that's how they discovered the location of the mineral vein?"
"That's the only possibility."
Lei Xiao nodded and responded: "As for whether it is cooperation or not, we don't know."
Lei Xiao clearly understood that compared with the powerful foreign forces, even the entire human race seemed insignificant, let alone a mere lord from another world.
In addition, there is a precedent of the Black Abyss Brotherhood keeping lords in captivity, so Lei Xiao naturally would not make a casual judgment on the relationship between the two.
"I also agree with His Majesty the Human Race's point of view."
The administrator pondered for a moment and said, "According to the latest intelligence I have obtained, some foreign forces seem to be very interested in alien lords. There are even teams of strong men who specialize in finding alien lords, discovering them and protecting them."
"It seems that these foreign forces are quite nice to the alien lords!"
Louise, who had been guarding Lei Xiao, suddenly spoke out with her eyes lit up.
"Miss Vampire, I think you have misunderstood."
The administrator smiled awkwardly and carefully chose his words to explain: "A considerable number of them are not out of pity, sympathy, or kindness, but more like they are looking for a rare magical beast."
Hearing the words of the administrator, Louise shrank her neck, looked at Lei Xiao again and said: "Lord, aren't you also the king of the lords of the alien world? Don't you have any news about these lords of the alien world in the foreign domain?"
"The lords who are under my protection are limited to the human territory."
Lei Xiao touched Louise's head casually and shook his head helplessly.
Naturally, he was extremely concerned about the alien lords who descended on the outside world.
But even Qin Qian and other management lords who were granted titles and status had no news about the lords from foreign regions.
At present, a considerable part of the lords' many chat channels have gradually been converted into communication platforms for lords in various fields, emergency platforms, and R&D interactive platforms for lord talents, etc., with extremely strict management, and other unrestricted chat channels are all in the hands of Qin Qian and others.
In addition, through the efforts of various brave god groups, all alien lords in the human territory have obtained their protection, and are all showing their abilities and working hard for future competition.
It stands to reason that in this situation, if a strange lord sent a message on any channel, our lord would immediately notice it, but in the end, no message was ever received.
Those lords in the outside world seemed to have reached some kind of agreement and completely cut off contact with the lords in the human territory.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that they are like those lords who are kept in captivity and cannot send out any messages.
"Besides not being able to proactively send out messages, I don't think we can rule out the possibility that some lords are happy and don't want to leave. Maybe they have become complacent. After all, the strength of the foreign forces is indeed extremely strong."
"Anyway, as I move forward, everything will gradually become clear. At least I haven't met any foreign lords yet."
Just when Lei Xiao was thinking about this, Fanny's voice sounded again: "Your Majesty, can the lord of another world have such an extraordinary talent?"
"The talents of the lords of other worlds are varied, and detection talent is indeed one of them, and quite a few of them are for detecting mineral veins."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly and responded: "But the alien lords in the human territory do not have the ability to detect mineral veins in the outer domain."
Lei Xiao clearly understood that due to the upgradeable nature of talents, training talents was naturally an indispensable part for the lords.
Therefore, after peace came to the human world, Lei Xiao took out a huge amount of funds and materials, and ordered Qin Qian and others to assist other lords in improving their talents to the maximum extent, almost at all costs.
For example, lords with combat talents will all be equipped with weapons and equipment related to their talents, skill scrolls and other items, and will arrange hunting and training every day to improve their combat capabilities as much as possible.
The detection lords were arranged to use their talents in areas rich in mineral veins such as Gelin City to increase the possibility of finding mineral veins and accelerate the improvement of their talent levels.
At the same time, Lei Xiao also tried to take some time to bring dozens of outstanding detection lords to the outer realm to display their talents. However, due to insufficient talent levels, they were unable to use their talents in the outer realm at all, and all the detection lords were no exception.
Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao gathered his thoughts and said, "However, I think that since some lords from other worlds have descended directly into the outer realms, their talents must be more adapted to the existence of the outer realms."
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. It must be because of the existence of a certain foreign lord that the light half-elves got the news of the mineral vein, which led to the subsequent events."
Fanny nodded heavily and concluded, "Then everything is solved."
Hearing this, everyone else also looked enlightened.
"But in the end, this is just our guess. If I have the chance to contact the light half-elf again in the future, perhaps I can ask him about it. But in any case, this gives us a better understanding of the current situation. That is, the light half-elf only brought a piece of news, nothing more."
Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly, then smiled at Fanny and said, "Then, Your Majesty, can you tell us the exact location of the mineral vein?"
"Of course, it's located between the foot of Yingying Peak and the river south of the Waterfall Watcher Fortress."
Fanny responded immediately without any hesitation.
"It's actually at Yingying Peak? It's less than two kilometers away from the Waterfall Watcher Fortress. No wonder the Dragonborn army was so eager to pass through there and even attempted to take over the fortress."
Broy, who was familiar with the terrain, almost jumped up and blurted out, "That's the habitat of the giant-armored warblers. The threat is minimal, and it's far from the foggy Wumeng Peak, so it's very suitable for mining!"
"Then let's start preparing for the relevant matters immediately. The sooner things happen, the better."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said teasingly: "Since the light half-elf has come all the way to send the news to us, we naturally cannot let him down. We must act quickly."
"Your Majesty, are you saying that we should mine the mineral vein immediately?"
Fanny's starry eyes revealed a trace of worry, and she said, "But this is what the light half-elf is trying to accomplish. Will this provoke revenge from the other side?"
Fanny didn't finish her words, but the meaning was self-evident.
The Light Half-elves are a second-rate force that is superior to all forces in the surrounding areas, not to mention that there are the top Light Elves behind them. Once they anger them, the consequences will undoubtedly be disastrous.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Didn't we discuss this just now? The light half-elves only brought a piece of news. They don't have the ability to send troops directly now, otherwise they wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with the Dragonborn."
Lei Xiao still had a smiling face and responded calmly.
Based on the information provided by Theresa, Lei Xiao was naturally not worried about this.
"What about the trolls and the minotaurs? I'm afraid they won't give up."
The worry on Fanny's fair face did not dissipate, and she added: "And the Dragonborn army can be mobilized at any time."
"Your Majesty, please don't forget us."
Broy stood on tiptoe, patted his chest and said: "The dwarf elves will always stand with His Majesty the Human Race."
"Yes, the wood elves will also fight together with His Majesty the Human."
Chris's face was full of seriousness as she echoed.
"Trees will always be the most loyal companions of the human race."
Shuerte spoke without hesitation.
"Your Majesty, now you know why I am not worried, right? No matter how powerful the other side is, they are just a group of scattered sands, while everyone here is united as one."
Lei Xiao's smile widened, and he nodded to Fanny and said, "Besides, this is our territory, so why should we care about others?"
"That's right. With the guidance and help of His Majesty, we will soon be able to transform ourselves and be able to better advance and retreat with the human race!"
After experiencing a series of life and death battles together, Broy had already been completely convinced by Lei Xiao, and added.
Upon hearing this, Chris and Shult both nodded quickly, obviously agreeing with it.
"Reborn under the guidance and help of His Majesty the Human Race?"
Hearing this, a look of deep doubt appeared on Fanny's face again.
As we all know, the strength of the foreign forces is obviously stronger than that of the human race, and they are not even on the same level. Under the premise that their foundation is obviously superior, these three major forces actually think that the human race can help them transform themselves? This is simply unbelievable.
Just when Fanny was full of questions, Lei Xiao and others had already begun to formulate a plan for mining the mineral vein.
"To be honest with you, Your Majesty, although it is a little difficult to say, during the hundreds of years of being trapped in the tunnels, the dwarf elves' mining technology has made a qualitative leap. They have even developed a number of mining alchemical puppets and corresponding magic energy equipment, which can greatly increase the efficiency of mining, and have also cultivated a lot of corresponding talents."
Although it was a little difficult to say, Broy's face was full of pride, and he spoke first: "I believe it will definitely help His Majesty the Human Race."
"The wood fairies also have a large number of earth and water mages, and even a few metal mages, who will do their best!"
Chris spoke without hesitation.
"Tree people are most familiar with the land, and I believe they can play a certain role."
Shuerte stroked Muxu gently, looking calm and composed.
"The human race will also send corresponding talents and lord talents."
Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Fanny, who still hadn't recovered from her confusion, and asked with a smile: "What about you, Your Majesty?"
"what?"
Hearing this, Fanny finally came back to her senses and said in disbelief, "Your Majesty, are you saying that we flower fairies can also mine minerals together with you?"
After saying that, Fanny opened her starry eyes wide, and the surprise on her face became more and more obvious.
You know, the value of high-quality magic ore veins is almost immeasurable, and it can greatly enhance the strength of one party's forces. This is why the previous melee that caused heavy losses occurred.
She never thought that Lei Xiao would deliver such enormous wealth to her so easily!
