Although the original 'self' is a nest, it is not too stupid, and while handing over the Sky City left by his father, he also knows that he will exchange it for a small city, although the Sky City he has exchanged for is really small, but it is also a Sky City after all.

The thought that he was at least the lord of a city made Rocky's mood much better.

The sky city he owned, called Thunder Eagle City, sounded domineering, but unfortunately it was a small city with a population of only a thousand, and it was more suitable to be a village than a city.

And when he thought of Thunder Eagle City, Rocky's good mood was gone.

Three months ago, he took Lilia to Thunderhawk City and became the new owner of the place, but the trouble he encountered here made the current Rocky a headache when he thought about it......

"Lord Castle, Captain El is back and is waiting for you in the hall. ”

A knock on the door interrupted Rocky's thoughts, and someone pushed the door and entered the room.

In was a young woman with beautiful black hair, delicate leather armor, and a silver-white sword at her waist.

This handsome woman named Lilia is Rocky's bodyguard and the only cronie who followed him to Lei Yicheng.

"Good. ”

With a yes, Rocky walked to the door.

For Lilia, he has a natural crush, not because he is lustful, but because the original Rocky is very close to Lilia.

The woman in front of her is not an ordinary guard, she is Rocky's playmate since she was a child, and she has a very important position in the heart of the previous Rocky, not only full of trust, but also some admiration.

Wretch, ......!

Since he loves Lilia, he pushed her to it, but unfortunately he didn't even dare to do this kind of thing.

Coming to Lilia, Rocky glanced at her, and immediately felt a wild vitality, and then said casually: "Didn't I tell you earlier, just call me by my name, you don't need to call the city lord, it sounds so rusty." ”

"Call you the lord of the city, and others will respect you. ”

There was no expression on her face, and Lilia replied coldly, which made Rocky a little embarrassed.

In fact, he just said it casually and just made a joke, but he didn't expect Lilia to be so serious.

Of course, Rocky also understood why Lilia was like this, because although he was the lord of a city, he was so cowardly that no one took him seriously at all, and outsiders didn't say anything, even the officials and nobles in Thunder Eagle City didn't have much respect for him as a city lord.

It is precisely because of this that Lilia treats him so 'seriously', otherwise no one will really take him seriously.

In the entire Thunder Eagle City, Lilia is probably the only one who truly respects herself.

Thinking of this, Rocky sighed secretly, but it was difficult to explain too much, he couldn't tell Lilia that her previous self was dead, and she had a new self in front of her, right?

However, Rocky believes that there are some things that Lilia can feel differently even if he doesn't say it.

"Captain El left half a month ago, right?"

To ease the embarrassment, Rocky changed the subject.

"Yes. ”

"What did he go to land for?"

As soon as he changed the subject, Rocky felt even more embarrassed, forgetting why Captain El had gone to land.

The Al they were talking about was the captain of the guards in Sparrowhawk City, commanding the guards of the city.

Half a month ago, the other party suddenly asked to lead the team back to the land, and at that time, Rocky had just crossed and was still adapting to the changes around him, so he agreed without asking too much, so that now he can't remember the reason why the other party wants to go to land.

He heard that there might be a mine on nearby land, so he led a team to look for it. ”

Glancing at Rocky, Lilia's eyes showed disappointment that was difficult to hide, but she still gave an answer.

Taking the initiative to avoid Lilia's gaze, Rocky nodded, a little remembered.

When the world entered the Sky Age, many things changed, such as the fact that resources became more precious, especially mineral resources.

The sky is vast, but you can't find half of the ore, but minerals are an indispensable resource for development, so in order to get minerals, you can only go back to land to mine.

The land is rich in mineral resources, but don't forget, the land has long been the territory of the devil! Therefore, it is very dangerous to return to the land to mine, and there is even a saying among the miners that every piece of ore represents the life of an absentee.

And this danger has further made minerals cherished.

Captain El went to land this time to find a mine, which could be a new ore vein that had not been discovered, or it could be an old mine in the land era, and Rocky didn't know very well.

"Hopefully Captain El will find out. ”

Lilia said on the sidelines, seemingly expecting Captain El's actions.

"Who knows...... I hope there will be a discovery. ”

Rocky didn't contradict Lilia, but in his heart he didn't believe that Al could succeed.

Mineral resources are too precious, most of the ore veins and old mines on the land have been controlled by powerful people, not to mention that they want to find a new ore vein now, even if they find an old mine in the land era, the chance is much lower than that of a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.

And even if you find it, what if you find it?

With the strength of Thunder Eagle City, it is not capable of mining at all, there are no workers in the city to mine, and there is not enough army to protect it, so even if you find the ore vein, you can only sell the coordinates, that's all.

By this time, Rocky had already arrived in the main hall of the city, and then pushed the door and walked in.

Walking into the hall, he saw a middle-aged man sitting in the hall, and only stood up after seeing him walk in.

"Lord of the Castle. ”

When Rocky sat down in the position of the city lord, the middle-aged man nodded at him slightly, which was considered a salute.

This man is Captain Al, about thirty years old, with a scar on his face, he looks a little murderous, when Rocky didn't come to Thunderhawk City, this person was the captain of the city's guards, and he was the old man of the city.

But Rocky didn't like this person, in his memory, this Al had deceived his original self, and when he first took over Thunderhawk City, Al lied about military expenses and defrauded a large amount of money to be released into his private pocket.

The original Rocky knew these things, but he chose to back down because he had too many scruples, but his concession turned into cowardice in the eyes of others, making everyone less and less concerned about him.

And obviously, among the people who don't care about Rocky, there is Al.

"Captain El, did you find anything?"

Suppressing his dissatisfaction with Al as a person, Rocky asked with a smile, believing that Al would respect him again in the future, after all, he was no longer the same person.

"I'm sorry, Lord Castle, but I'm going to disappoint you, but I didn't find a new vein this time. ”

Standing in front of Rocky, Al said that he didn't find it, but he acted as if he had won the battle, and he held his head up.

Grandma's, doesn't this person know how to ask for face?

Seeing that Al had run away for nothing, but put on a swaggering style, Rocky was angry.

You must know that returning to the land from Sky City consumes a lot of resources, and Thunder Eagle City is a small city with few resources, so it can't afford this kind of waste.

Thinking of this, Rocky's face was not very good, but he still suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and then asked, "There are no casualties, right?"

The population of Thunderhawk City was only a little more than a thousand, and there was no army of its own at all, only two hundred guards barely maintained order in the city, and Rocky remembered that Al brought thirty guards this time.

But when he asked this, Al's face changed: "My lord, we were attacked by demons when we returned, and more than twenty brothers were killed......

"What!"

Al's words, let Rocky shoot directly!

More than 20 people died?

There are only 200 guards in Thunder Eagle City, these 200 people usually work as policemen, and when something happens, they are soldiers, and they are the only armed forces in the entire city, but they were lost by El by one-tenth at once!

This time, even if Rocky wanted to endure it, he really couldn't help it, and he angrily questioned Al: "Captain Al, what happened! Why is there such a big loss!"

"Lord Castle, as I said before, we were attacked by a demon on our return, and this loss is quite reasonable. ”

However, in the face of his questioning, Al showed no fear, as if he didn't care at all, and simply repeated his previous words.

The other party's performance made Rocky's face flush with anger, and his eyes stared at Al as if he was going to kill.

He stared at Al, who was also looking at him, and neither of them spoke, and the whole hall fell silent.

It wasn't until a long time had passed that Rocky's face improved slightly, and it seemed that he had suppressed his anger, and then he waved his hand, which was considered to be a stop.

And seeing him waving his hand, Al sneered in his heart, a wreck, even if he learned to stare, he would still be a wreck!

In Al's opinion, this new city lord is not even a piece of fish meat that can be slaughtered by others, so he has no fear at all, and he knows very well that Rocky has no courage to move himself.

As for why he suffered such a big loss this time, of course there was a reason, but he didn't intend to tell Rocky about this reason.

But just as Al was sneering in his heart, Rocky had already called Lilia to his ear and whispered a few words to her.

When Rocky finished speaking, Lilia showed a hint of surprise, and even couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure?"

Rocky nodded, "Are you sure?"

Looking at Rocky in disbelief, Lilia smiled after a moment and said with certainty, "Nine out of ten." ”

With that, she walked out of the hall and quickly walked past El without squinting.

But at the moment when Lilia and Al passed by, they suddenly burst out and kicked Al's knee, the force was so great that she actually kicked Al's knee to pieces! The next second, she pressed Al to the ground and pressed his long sword against his neck.

"What are you going to do, Lord Castle!"

Caught without reacting, Al endured the sharp pain in his knees and stared at Rocky with round eyes full of disbelief.

How dare this wretched Rocky treat himself like this!?
