Chapter 318： Long-lost old friends, Guan Zhong and Nate【Five K】

"Lord City Lord, are you really here to take us back?"

Hearing Lei Xiao's affirmative answer, the white-haired old man at the head set off a huge wave in his heart while trembling and asking questions.

Over the years, he has only seen every grass and tree in his hometown in his dreams.

Unexpectedly, it is precisely because of the young man in front of him... No, the appearance of the young city master, his old bones can still have a dream come true one day!

This, for these people, is tantamount to a supreme grace.

"Exactly."

Nodding slightly, looking at the old and excited face of the other party, Lei Xiao smiled lightly: "Sir, just leave it to us, you don't need to make a sound, just wait with peace of mind."

Having said that, Lei Xiao leaned down and said to Xinggui, whose little face was full of excitement: "Don't worry, it won't be long before I take you home."

After he finished speaking, Lei Xiao waved his hand and gathered another group of Lin, Fang Hai and Guan Zhong who were investigating in the city.

At this point, the team of nine strong men who came here this time has reunited.

Having said that, this trip to Magnet Town.

The reason why Lei Xiao also brought Guan Zhong, who was the commander-in-chief of the Kongqing Town garrison army, was because the garrison commander of Magnet Town was the old man of Guanzhong.

Although the two have not been in touch in recent years, it is still unknown how they might help.

So, after coming to the city.

Under Lei Xiao's order, the group was divided into two groups.

One group conducted investigations from the residents of Kongqing Town, and the other group conducted investigations from the direction of Guanzhong Paoze's old past, as well as other residents in the city.

I came to the quiet place in the desolate courtyard at the back door, facing the icy wind that occasionally blew from the white snow peaks.

Lei Xiao first repeated the information he had just obtained with the other group of three.

Then frowned and asked, "How is it? What did you gain from there?"

"Lord Lord, this magnet town is indeed very strange."

On the other side, Lin took off the hood of the illusion cloak, and the face of a village girl covered with freckles immediately returned to a sassy and delicate face, and said, "First of all, my subordinates and others will notice.

The city, in addition to the necessary eating places.

Including blacksmith shop, tailor shop, hotel and other storefronts, all closed, and the surrounding is covered with dust, obviously it has not been open for a long time.

After inquiring, the subordinates and others learned that.

A few years ago, under the order of the Magnet City Lord, almost all the residents of the city joined the ranks of mining, making the entire city directly in a state of semi-paralysis. "

"Oh? It got to this point?"

Hearing this, Lei Xiao's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, while pacing by the broken wooden fence, he began to ponder.

Originally, he thought it was enough to put the cart before the horse by abandoning a large amount of farmland and turning farmers into miners.

Unexpectedly, this magnet city lord, even the blacksmiths and tailors in the city, and a very small number of technicians, have also mobilized to mine.

"Such an approach can no longer be described as desperate. It's simply maddening."

Thinking of this, the expression on Lei Xiao's face became more and more curious, and he thought to himself in his heart: "What exactly does this Magnet City Lord want to do?

Could it be that the attractiveness of this vein has reached such a high level? So that even the basics of the town do not need to be maintained? "

If this is the case, why did the former city owner of Kongqing Town, who developed it together, give up mining again? Just incredible. "

Curling his lips slightly, Lei Xiao thought for a while, and then asked, "Lin, what exactly is rich in that ore vein?"

"Lord Hui, it is a relatively rare ore called Blazing Flame Crystal." On the other side, Lin respectfully saluted.

"Flame Crystal?"

Hearing this, Chaoyan on the side blinked her big eyes and said, "This is a fire-type spar, although it is very rare, due to the limited scope of application, the price does not seem to be very high. Exalted?"

"That's right, that's what's so weird about this magnet town."

I saw Lin nodded with some messy hair, and continued: "The price of this kind of ore in the Cold Flame Kingdom is only slightly higher than that of light spar, far from being an expensive category.

As a result, such a ore vein can be regarded as a sideline, but it is really difficult to understand that it can be exploited so desperately. "

There is no doubt that for her who runs a business and land trade fair, she is naturally aware of the prices of the Cold Flame Kingdom.

"There must be something else hidden in it."

After pondering for a moment, Lei Xiao looked up at the towering Xuefeng above his head, and said thoughtfully: "I have to say, this Magnet City Lord is even more mysterious than we imagined."

After speaking, Lei Xiao turned to the commander-in-chief of the Kongqing Town garrison, "Guangzhong, how is your old friend in Paoze?"

"Go back to the lord, when the subordinate met him, the other party was at the post at the gate of the city, because there were so-called mine guard soldiers around.

Therefore, instead of talking much, we agreed to meet at noon on the edge of the gate of this slum. "

On the other side, Guan Zhong stepped forward and clasped his fists respectfully and said, "In addition, this old friend of my subordinates has an upright personality and seldom beat around the bush. We should be able to get some new clues from him."

"So it is." Hearing this, Lei Xiao slowly retracted his gaze towards Xue Shan, nodded slightly and said, "It seems that the people who really have jurisdiction in this city are the so-called mine guards.

As for the ordinary city garrison, it was just a foil. "

"Lord Lord, this subordinate has also discovered this." He bowed to Lei Xiao again, and Guan Zhong said again, "That old friend of your subordinate was promoted to the level of a third-tier powerhouse a few years ago.

However, from the look on his face at the time.

It seems to be very dreadful, and at the same time, the team leader of the mine guard team standing guard at the gate of the city, and the opponent is only at the second-order peak level. "

"Things are really getting more interesting."

Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao first stretched his back, and then said to his subordinates: "In short, we can be sure now.

At present, the weird vortex surrounding the entire magnet town is concentrated on the magnet city lord.

Next, let's start investigating from Guan Zhong's old friend Paozawa, who is the commander of the Magnet Town garrison army. "

"Follow your orders! Your lord!" On the other side, all the subordinates clasped their fists together and said in unison.

After making up his mind, Lei Xiao returned to the crumbling dilapidated wooden house with his subordinates.

Looking at Xinggui's father lying on the bed, he saw that Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a second-order healing potion with a strange fragrance appeared in his hand.

Just now, after the inspection of the knotweed and others.

It was found that Xinggui's father's leg injury was indeed very serious, and this potion could just play a great therapeutic role.

For a time, in the damp room, the fragrance immediately surrounded, making people feel refreshed.

"Lord City Lord, this...what is this?" Looking at the mellow and bright alchemy product in Lei Xiao's hands, Xinggui's father couldn't help but wonder.

At the same time, several gray-haired old men around also began to look at each other in dismay.

These ordinary civilians, naturally, have never seen this kind of miracle medicine that is only spread in the upper class.

"This is a second-order healing potion, hurry up and take it." Hearing this, Lei Xiao did not explain too much, but smiled slightly and handed the potion to the other party's hand.

"This...Thank you very much, Lord City Lord!" Xinggui's father took the potion tremblingly, and immediately showed an unbelievable look, falling into a state of shock again.

You must know that this kind of item worth tens of thousands of golden dragons, to them, is nothing but a dreamy thing that is absolutely insulated and even dare not even think about it!

On the other side, several old men also showed shocking expressions, and they were instantly stunned on the spot.

At this moment, in the hearts of everyone, there was a dream-like feeling again.

To be so favored by the Lord of the City, before this, even in a dream, they would not dare to think so!

Next, it was almost noon.

Lei Xiao first arranged for the Xinggui father and daughter, as well as several other old men, to temporarily hide behind a remote area in the slum.

Immediately afterwards, he took all his subordinates and galloped away in the direction agreed with Guan Zhong Paoze's old friends.

...

One big and one small two scorching sun in the sky.

On the edge of the slums in Magnet Town, collapsed wooden houses are mixed with garbage everywhere, and there are also foul-smelling and muddy ditches in the middle.

In the line of sight, there is a mess and desolation everywhere.

At this time, I saw a figure dressed as an ordinary farmer, standing in front of a dilapidated house.

It was none other than Guanzhong, who was wearing an illusion cloak, but took off the hood.

Before that, after many attempts and experiments by Lei Xiao.

The subordinates of their own side have completely controlled the method of using the illusion cloak.

If you put on a cloak and put on the hood that comes with the cloak, you will be completely transformed into another person.

And if you just wear a cloak and don't wear a hood, you will only change your clothes, which is very convenient.

It didn't take long for a gust of wind to pass, and between the dust and the dust, another burly figure dressed in the light armor of the garrison had already roared.

When the dust gradually fell, the burly figure exuding a good momentum also became clear.

The age of this person is almost the same as that of Guan Zhong. They are all middle-aged people, and their faces are full of determination.

It can be clearly seen from the breath that the other party has reached the level of the third-order powerhouse.

And, on its dark left cheek, there is a striking scar, which seems to be caused by some kind of attack magic.

"Guangzhong, I didn't expect you to come to Magnet Town to find me!"

The hearty laughter sounded, and I saw that the man had just stood firm, but he happily greeted him and opened his arms.

"Nate, it's been a long time." On the other side, Guan Zhong also smiled and gave each other a big hug.

After the two regained their feet, they felt the aura of Guan Zhong, who was obviously stronger than himself. The middle-aged strong man named Nate couldn't help showing a slightly surprised look on his face.

You must know that when he and Guan Zhong were also at the second-order peak level, he took a step forward and broke through the shackles on the battlefield, reaching the level of the third-order powerhouse.

However, it's only been a few years since I haven't seen it. Why is the other party's aura so much higher than his own?

"Guangzhong, I have been practicing diligently in the past few years, and my strength is already higher than that of my old friend." I saw Nate smiled again and joked: "You shouldn't have taken the third-order promotion. A powerful potion, right?"

Shrugging slightly, Guan Zhong nodded and said, "That's right, if it wasn't for our Lord City Lord, who rewarded me with two rose energy gathering pills one after another a few days ago, I'm afraid my current strength is not as good as yours. "

"Huh?" On the other side, Nate was startled when he heard Guan Zhong's somewhat Versailles answer, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Originally, he was just joking casually, but he didn't expect Guanzhong to actually give a positive answer!

You know, this guy never lies!

"However, the price of a third-order potion that enhances strength is at least at the level of one million golden dragons, and two in a row? How is this possible?

Just one piece is at least equal to the income of an ordinary town for several years! "

At this time, Nate had a suspicious expression on his face, and thought to himself: "The key is that there are no mines in Kongqing Town, and besides, even if there are mines at home, it's impossible to give them to subordinates so easily, right?

Impossible, impossible, impossible to have a good city lord who treats his subordinates like this! "

Even though he thought so in his heart, there was still a hint of envy on Nate's face.

On the other hand, the city lord of their Magnet Town, alas, is simply beyond words.

"Nate, you must have heard that our Kongqing Town has changed the city owner, right?"

After chatting a few words with the other party, Guan Zhong's expression became serious again.

He opened his mouth and said, "To be honest, the reason why I came to Magnet Town was to follow our Lord City Lord and come here together."

"What? You mean that the city lord of your Kongqing Town is also here?" Hearing this, Nate once again showed a surprised expression.

"That's right, our Lord of the City is here this time for the trapped residents of Kongqing Town." He nodded slightly, and Guan Zhong said with a serious expression.

"There is still such a city lord, who came in person for the residents who were abandoned here a few years ago?"

Hearing this, Nate felt that his worldview was greatly shocked, and he could hardly believe his ears.

Although I don't want to think so, but after all, the city owner of their Magnet Town is the culprit of all this!

In such a comparison, as the commander of the Magnet Town garrison, Nate suddenly had a mixed feeling in his heart.

"Okay Nate, although I still want to continue chatting with you, the golden years when we fought together on the battlefield.

However, the current situation in Magnet Town, you must know better than me, a foreigner, right? "

Reaching out a big hand and patted Nate's shoulder, Guan Zhong continued: "Why don't we work together to solve it first, how is the crisis in Magnet Town?"

"Jointly solve it?" On the other side, Nate was stunned for a moment, and a look of astonishment appeared on his resolute face again, and asked: "Guangzhong, you mean that your Lord of the City is also willing to help the residents of our Magnet Town. ?!"

At this time, Nate's heart was full of thoughts.

As the commander-in-chief of the Magnet Town garrison, he naturally knew the current situation of Magnet Town the most.

In recent years, under the control of the Magnet City Lord himself, and the minions of the two second-order mine defense squadrons under his command.

The entire magnet town is on the verge of collapse.

It is different from their native local garrison.

The minions of those city lords are the villainous mercenaries, robbers and bandits who were recruited from the outside by the city lord a few years ago.

The style of work can be described as extremely ruthless, whether it is a miner from Cishi Town or a miner who moved from Kongqing Town.

As long as they don't act in their way, the consequences can be extremely serious, making everyone dare not speak out.

And their family members of the garrison are also firmly in the hands of these people, and coupled with the suppression of the city lord, they are naturally powerless.

Because of this, Guan Zhong's remarks were like a ray of dawn in the dark night, instantly causing huge waves in Nate's heart.

"That's right, the city owner of our Kongqing Town, made such a plan." Nodding slightly, Guan Zhong continued proudly: "How is it? Nate, are you willing to help us?"

Hearing this, while excited, Nate observed left and right, and after confirming that no one was following, he said excitedly: "I am willing to assist your Lord of the City!"

That's it, a moment later.

As the commander-in-chief of the Magnet Town garrison, Nate had already come to Lei Xiao under the guidance of Guan Zhong.

At this time, the group of their own, who are in a quiet and silent cabin, have been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Lei Xiao at the top, Nate's eyes suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he thought to himself: "Is this the new city owner of Kongqing Town?

Why so young? Moreover, from his body, he could not feel the breath of any strong man.

The followers around him did not emit any energy fluctuations, they seemed to be just a group of ordinary people. "

Realizing this, Nate's body straightened up again.

You know, no matter what, he is a real, respected third-order two-star powerhouse.

"Knotta, let's get started."

On the other side, Lei Xiao, who was sitting at the top, nodded to the burly man on his side.

"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"

The rough voice sounded, and in an instant, a monstrous momentum swept out from the sturdy body of the knotweed.

Just like a magnificent rolling torrent, it completely wrapped the cabin in an instant.

Before waiting for the stunned Nate, he reacted.

In the next second, a powerful momentum burst out from Lei Xiao and others one after another, making the whole room surging with energy, almost suffocating.

After a while, Nate, who was shocked beyond measure, finally reacted.

It turned out that in the whole room, only he was the weakest.
