Chapter 617 Before the Coronation

"That's right, it's the kind of dragon that often scares children to tears and always appears as a villain in stories."

Looking at Ariel's astonished, yet cautious starry eyes, Hong Ye shrugged and nodded helplessly.

Although she has not been transformed into a human form and integrated into the life of the human race for a long time, she has a great love for food, and she has already gotten along very well with the leader of the foodie duo, Zhao Yan, and the deputy leader Bai Wei.

In their spare time, the topics discussed by the three of them, besides delicacies from all over the world, are naturally indispensable to the Dragon Clan itself.

As a result, Chao Yan, the bed-wetting warrior who is known as "The Great Understanding of the Territory", has given Hong Ye a lot of knowledge and stories.

Regarding Chao Yan's science popularization, Lei Xiao was very relieved.

Although this girl looks unreliable, she often looks not very smart.

But according to what Dazhu and Xiaozhu said, when Chaoyan graduated from the Magic Tower, she was the absolute leader among the magicians of that class.

Whether it is learning to recite complex magic theory knowledge and lengthy incantations, or in the actual operation of casting spells, or even in various strange aspects, they are outstanding existences.

Of course, in terms of making troubles, they are not too far behind. Many elders in the Magic Tower are so worried that they have little hair and are almost bald. They can be called the rare figures in the Magic Tower.

"However, after being summoned to the territory, perhaps stimulated by other talented subordinates in the territory, Chaoyan's arrogance and recklessness have almost disappeared. When fighting, she is still very reliable."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and refocused his attention on the things in front of him.

"I didn't expect that Senior Hong Ye was really a Dragon Clan."

After getting an affirmative reply from Hong Ye, Ariel's starry eyes flickered, and she involuntarily looked at Lei Xiao again, with an expression of reverence.

As expected of the lord!

Unexpectedly, even the proud Dragon Clan can be brought under its command.

You must know that for more than 600 years, including His Majesty the Hero King, none of the nineteen generations of monarchs in the Lengyan Kingdom can subdue a dragon, even with the power of the whole country!

At the same time, Bert, the orange-white, petrified Benson, and Randall, whose chin was still on the ground, all had the same look of reverence.

Sensing the constant gazes of his subordinates, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly, and then briefly described the ins and outs of subduing Hong Ye.

Of course, in order to take care of Hong Ye's emotions, Lei Xiao deliberately omitted the part that Hong Ye used Fenglong City as a refuge, and only said that Hong Ye was accidentally trapped there.

"...So that's the case, did senior Hong Ye get the fifth-order transformation potion from the lord, and that's why he turned into a human form?"

After listening to Lei Xiao's narration, Ariel took a deep breath, and the reverence on her delicate face became more and more obvious.

Although the lord said it lightly, whether it is the mysterious dragon mirage or the face-to-face confrontation with the dragon form Hong Ye, it is enough to compare with any legendary story about a dragon slaying warrior or a dragon knight.

"Speaking of which, did the underground of Fenglong City really used to be the place where Senior Hong Ye slept?"

In addition to being amazed, Ariel couldn't help but sighed to Lei Xiao: "To tell the truth, my lord, when my subordinates were young, as long as they were mischievous, my father would warn them to send them to the seal Go to Fenglong City, where the red dragon is scary, so the subordinates thought it was just a joke used by the father to scare the children..."

"If you were more mischievous, you might see Hong Ye first."

With a helpless smile, Lei Xiao turned his head, and said to the subordinates seriously: "Okay, due to some special reasons, Hong Ye can't show her real body to others now, everyone must keep their mouths shut."

"However, there is no delay in getting the dragon saliva. You only need to go to the dungeon of Fenglong City. There are perfect protection measures there."

Speaking of this, Lei Xiao said to the dragon woman beside him: "Hong Ye, I will talk to Tran, the Lord of Fenglong City, to leave this outer domain later, and you can go there when you have time."

"Obey, my lord!"

Hearing the sound, Hong Ye responded sassyly without hesitation: "This subordinate must complete the task!"

"very good."

Nodding his head in satisfaction, Lei Xiao's eyes shifted and finally fell back on City Lord Luolong.

Looking at the still pale face of the other party, Lei Xiao smiled and said: "Benson, in this way, the so-called two harsh conditions will be fulfilled, and the curse of death on you will also be lifted."

Hearing Lei Xiao's words, Benson's sturdy body shook, and he recovered from his astonishment.

In addition to being ecstatic, he involuntarily crawled at Lei Xiao's feet again, weeping with joy regardless of his appearance: "Thank you so much, Lord Lord! My subordinates are very grateful to Lord Lord!"

At this moment, apart from constant gratitude, Benson couldn't find any other words in his excited mind.

For more than 20 years, I have been thinking about it day and night for more than 20 years, but it is getting more and more out of reach. I never thought that there will be a day when it will be realized!

And all of this is just because of the young man in front of him with a smile like a spring breeze... I, a cursed person, have received such favor from the lord over and over again!

Seeing this scene, Bert and Jubai who were not far away couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

It seems that this perverse battlefield veteran has finally found his true home just like them.

On the other hand, Randall, besides being shocked, also looked happy for Benson.

Moreover, the dark gray eyes of this former noble descendant are full of expectations and visions for the future.

Although from the Lord Lord's words, it can be known that the future must be full of unknown difficulties and dangers.

However, as long as he follows such a lord, even if the road ahead is full of fire and thorns, he is confident that he can cross the past!

"Okay, Benson, get up quickly."

Signaling the Lord Luolong who was kneeling on the ground to stand up again, Lei Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Tonight, you can come back to the territory with us."

"As for the other alchemy materials you mentioned earlier, they are all in stock in the territory, and you can unravel the curse tonight."

Nodding to Benson, Lei Xiao happened to meet another eager gaze, which came from the long-lost mercenary captain not far away.

With a helpless smile, Lei Xiao said again: "Randall, then you can come back to the territory with me to stay for one night, and when tomorrow dawns, you can go to the Fortress of the Mountain and meet with the soldiers stationed in the Dragon Tooth Mercenary Corps." Join the others."

"Obey! Your lord!"

Hearing Lei Xiao's words, Randall quickly bowed and saluted.

To be able to see a miraculous building with his own eyes is undoubtedly his biggest dream in this life!

After that, Lei Xiao and his subordinates had just rested for a while, when the door of the living room opened.

I saw Hong Shi, who had already put on a brand new red robe, walked in quickly.

"My lord, the coronation ceremony of my subordinates, and the matter of eliminating the remaining forces of the prime minister are all proceeding in an orderly manner!"

Speaking of this, Hongshi looked at the many deep valley footprints on the ground of the living room, and his dark green face could not help but be full of doubts.

"Don't worry, just now Benson and I moved a little bit, his boots are relatively heavy."

Looking at the puzzlement in Hongshi's brown eyes, Lei Xiao smiled faintly and said, "When will the coronation ceremony start?"

"Go back to Lord Lord, just an hour later!"

Walking in front of Lei Xiao with short green legs, Hongshi said with joy, "In half a day, this subordinate has gone from being escorted to the execution ground to becoming the real king of a country. It's like a dream. !"

"Even Shuangwen dare not write so casually."

After saying something that only he could understand, Lei Xiao continued to smile and said, "Then congratulations to you, the new king of the country of thorns."

"The subordinates dare not, all thanks to the lord!"

Hearing the sound, Hongshi hurriedly stroked his chest and saluted.

Although he didn't understand what the lord's unfathomable words meant before, Redstone still decided to record this sentence as one of the lord's classic quotations.

Immediately afterwards, Hongshi seemed to realize something, and looked at Benson whose eye circles were still red, showing a puzzled expression again, and then suddenly realized,

"This guy must have been beaten and cried by the lord!"

Thinking of this in his heart, Hongshi first cast a complicated look at this inmate who was still in the same situation not long ago, "It's normal to lose to Shenwu, Lord Lord, don't be discouraged".

Immediately, his mind moved, and a heavy-looking chain hammer and a whole set of mottled light armor appeared on the stone table beside him.

Judging from the splendor exuded by these two pieces of equipment, it is obvious that they are both at the third-order level.

However, compared to the heavy chain hammer, the splendor of the mottled light armor is obviously much duller.

There are many scratches and dents all over it, which obviously shows that it has experienced a fierce battle before.

"Your Excellency Benson, this is your equipment, please put it away, but the storage ring has been taken away by the prime minister, and it was damaged in the battle just now."

Having said that, Hongshi shook his dark green head helplessly.

"It doesn't matter, if you can be rescued by the lord, what is the kind of thing that only contains some dry food?"

Shrugging his shoulders slightly, Benson was about to take back the equipment, but was stopped by Lei Xiao.

"Show me the weapon."

Lifting the heavy third-order chain hammer, Lei Xiao immediately put it into the space bracelet.

Before this, Lei Xiao had never obtained a weapon like a chain hammer, so he was preparing to upgrade it on the spot.

As for the mottled light armor, it cannot be upgraded unless it is repaired.

However, for the current Lei Xiao, the significance of simply upgrading a Tier 3 light armor is no longer significant.

"The next step is to upgrade all the garrison equipment in all the cities under my rule. First, it will be the same as the three cities of Kongqing, Mailan, and Magneto, to reach the second-level equipment for all members of the ordinary garrison, and the elite guard squadron The royal and wealthy standard of Tier 3 equipment for all staff."

"After selecting troops with outstanding military exploits or extremely high loyalty, they will be further upgraded to reach the standard of the third rank of all ordinary soldiers and the fourth rank of all guard soldiers, and then form an elite army to become my main combat force. Of course, the territory The second-order direct elite subordinates in the inner circle are the most prioritized to change clothes."

"In this way, whether it is a territory or a territory, the strength of the soldiers will undoubtedly be greatly improved, and they will also be able to gain greater advantages when fighting against opponents."

"After all, the overall population and troops in the entire eastern region are limited. If possible, I must achieve the greatest victory at the lowest cost, and then continue to expand the territory in one go."

"Before this, the reason why I hadn't changed my costume was because in larger cities such as Fanyin City, Songlin City, Shuiyue City, Fenglong City, etc., there were secret agents of the three princes hiding. , if you change clothes blindly on a large scale, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the other party, and then expose these hidden properties."

"However, now that the war is imminent, I must make preparations in advance. At least I must first lock all the advanced equipment that I am going to replace in the armory in the city lord's mansion in various places. Once the war starts, it can be put into use immediately. Prepare for emergencies."

As Lei Xiao thought about it, he began to upgrade the chain hammer.

In the next second, the familiar reminder sounded in his ears.

[Congratulations, your "Tier 3 Weapon: Chain Hammer of the Brave" has been upgraded to "Tier 4 Weapon: Chain Hammer of the Crazy"! 】

"Have you successfully upgraded to Tier 4?"

Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao's mind moved, the newly upgraded Tier 4 [Crazy Chain Hammer], a set of Tier 4 [Paladin Light Armor] that Lei Xiao had as a spare, and a brand new storage ring [Holy Knight] The Eyes of Meteor] appeared in front of Benson together.

"A good sword deserves a hero, Benson, you should use these first."

Nodding to the "skull-crushing madman", Lei Xiao smiled slightly.

"This is the fourth-tier equipment that my subordinates dream of?!"

It goes without saying how excited Benson was after seeing the colorful weapons and armor~lightnovelpub.net~.

Next, taking advantage of the free time before the coronation ceremony, Lei Xiao did two more things.

The first is to order Hong Ye to take A Ling and A Bing, who has been guarding outside the endless passage, in to rest.

The second is to order Ye Cang to find the unlucky drunk goblin centurion from the beginning and restore him to normal.

During this process, something Lei Xiao did not expect.

Redstone actually summoned some grey-eared old goblin sculptors and painters, and began to prepare for the construction of his own statue...

"My lord, the coronation ceremony of my subordinates is about to begin. I would like to invite my lord to take a look at it. If my lord can personally crown my subordinates, it will be the most honored thing in my life!"

When all the subordinates returned, and the old brothers Brin bowed to leave, the expectant Hongshi walked up to Lei Xiao again with his short green legs.
