Chapter 16: : Mercenaries and Merchants

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao immediately began to mass-produce rough logging axes and rough sickles.

Due to the probability of qualitative change and quantitative change, each is about 50%.

And the resources for the next upgrade are 500 units of iron ore and 500 units of copper ore.

Therefore, Lei Xiao simply preset the number of logging axes and sickles to 1200 each.

In this way, after the qualitative change is decomposed, in any case, the upgrade requirements can be met.

"Currently, the production speed of the magic circle in the mansion of the 3rd-level lord is 5 per minute.

Thinking about it this way, in about 8 hours, can we start to upgrade the 4th-level lord's mansion..."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

Undoubtedly, at a time when others were extremely short of level 1 resources.

He has already taken a big step forward and solved the problem of level 2 resources.

Although it took a little longer than before.

It can be calculated according to the time period of general stone collection.

Even if the farmers were directly dispatched to mine the mines, they would not be able to achieve this speed at all.

What's more, after the tools with variable quantity are decomposed, one hundred times the basic resources of the former can be obtained.

Therefore, this method is obviously a profitable business.

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this with delight, two black shadows, like ghosts, suddenly descended in front of him, which shocked him instantly.

After taking a look, it turned out to be Nanxing and Nanyue.

"Reporting to the lord, when my sister and I were observing the terrain at the gate of the safe area, we noticed a faint energy fluctuation not far away, and it seemed that a fight was taking place.

Moreover, this energy fluctuation is very weak, obviously it is not the predecessor of the knotweed. "

He only listened to Nan Xing reporting the report with a serious face, while Nan Yue on the side also nodded one after another.

"You mean there are other people near our territory?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao immediately became alert and asked.

"That's right. How to act is up to the lord to decide!" Nan Xing clasped his fists.

"It just so happens that I'm planning to go outside the safe zone for a short walk, so let's go and have a look." Lei Xiao replied after hesitating for a while.

There is no doubt that although he is just an ordinary person at this time, Nanxing Nanyue, who is loyal and loyal, is a senior third-order powerhouse.

And, according to what Huzhang said when he was about to leave, if the twin sisters work together, even a fourth-tier powerhouse can have the power to fight.

Therefore, with two female guardians by his side, it is obviously more than enough to deal with the surrounding monsters whose highest rank is the second rank, as well as the weak energy fluctuations.

In this way, he made up his mind and ordered Gang Song and others not far away to stay at home. Lei Xiao took his twin sisters and walked straight out of the safe area, and began to sprint away to the unknown location not far away.

The words are divided into two parts, in the southwest of the territory, in the dense forest about one kilometer away.

A young female swordsman in leather armor and holding an iron sword, and a middle-aged man with a pot belly are advancing in tandem.

As the picture zoomed in, I saw that the female swordsman looked exhausted, and there were obviously multiple scars of different shades on her body.

After a simple bandage, there was still blood oozing out. Obviously, not long ago, he had just experienced more than one fierce battle.

And the bloated middle-aged man also had an embarrassed look on his face. Although he was not injured, the brocade robe on his body had almost turned into rags, and he kept mumbling something.

"Grandma, what's the use of hiring you rubbish? It's good now, let's not say if the goods are lost, or I'll even have to get in! It's really bad luck!"

On the other side, the young female swordsman who was covered in bruises and bruises silently drove the road ahead without saying a word.

Her name is Shanna, she is a mercenary who is currently entrusted with protecting the merchant.

In the early hours of the morning, Shannai lost seven companions and eight mercenaries to **** the team in an encounter with a second-tier monster, so she was the only one left.

The employer's carriage that carried the goods also disappeared during the fight.

Therefore, in the face of the businessman's constant scolding and ridicule, even though her heart was very painful, she had to choose to endure it silently.

After all, as a mercenary, putting the employer's life at risk is indeed an unforgivable dereliction of duty.

In this way, because the businessman's actions are too slow, the two haven't gone far.

Suddenly, from the big tree in front of him, a behemoth rolled down suddenly, and smashed right in between the two of them.

"Protect! Protect me!"

Looking at the terrifying shadow falling down, I saw the unsuspecting businessman, paralyzed to the ground in fright, and almost fainted.

"A first-order eight-star monster, a black steel spider?"

On the other side, Shanna immediately protected the merchant in front of him and raised his long sword, daring not to be slighted in the slightest.

She is a first-order seven-star sword fighter, and the opponent's strength is undoubtedly higher than hers.

The most important thing is that, as the name suggests, the shell of this giant spider is even harder than some second-order monsters, which can be described as extremely difficult to deal with.

However, ~www.readwn.com~ took a closer look, and only then did she realize that the spider's head had an imperceptible arrow hole pierced through it, apparently having been killed by a single blow.

"It's amazing! Those who can cause this kind of damage must at least be second-tier, no... third-tier bows, right?"

Thinking of this, Shanna couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement.

For her, a Tier 3 weapon is definitely an unreachable existence.

You must know that even their famous mercenary leader only used second-tier weapons.

In addition, the accuracy of this hundred-step piercing Yang is also very rare.

It seems that the other party must be a strong man with considerable strength!

But after thinking about it, Shanna felt a chill down her spine again.

Needless to say, if the spider hadn't been shot to death just now, I'm afraid she and her employer would have now become breakfast in each other's mouths.

At this moment, the bushes not far away moved slightly, attracting Shannai's attention again.

Immediately afterwards, a young man with a sharp blade on his waist, and a short-haired girl in a black outfit with a crossbow, appeared in front of her.

Undoubtedly, Lei Xiao and Nan Xing were the people who came.

As for the spider just now, it was only after Lei Xiao's consent that Nan Xing shot it down.

As for Nanyue, Lei Xiao had ordered him to be his trump card, hiding in the dark to prevent other emergencies.

Noticing the high-grade weapon in Nanxing's hands, Shannai was about to step forward to thank him, but the employer, who was still on the ground, couldn't move, but he was already smiling and ran over in a hurry.

Although he is only a businessman, he can also see that the person here is definitely a powerful person!

This super thigh that was delivered to your door, if you don't hold it at this time, when will you wait?
