Lin Lei walked straight to the only empty seat and sat down slowly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lin Xiong's posture had already made all the bosses understand that the position of the city lord had now been arranged separately, and he didn't feel too strange to see Lin Lei sitting down.

When Lin Lei appeared for the first time, he was a member of the Lin family, Lin Liucheng originally belonged to the Lin family, and whoever did the city lord was also the family matter of the Lin family.

The bosses even secretly rejoiced in their hearts, and welcomed Lin Lei to be the city lord in their hearts, after all, the Lin family has a big business, and it is estimated that there is no second guy like Lin Xiong.

Lin Liucheng can be kept until now, and even after the fall of the Citizen City, which is several times larger, it is still held steadily, in this, how much role Lin Lei has played, even if he didn't know before, after seeing the "Light of Ao Dai" and the big explosion that scared away the demon dwarves last night, who still doesn't understand, he is not worthy of coming out to mix with the boss.

However, the first sentence that Lin Lei said was still very unexpected to everyone.

"Lin Liucheng, from today, officially changed its name to ...... 'Thunder City'. ”

Lin Lei's slow and logical words suddenly made the bosses present surprised but not happy.

All the cities of the Lin family in the Western Regions, for decades, have been named after the word "Lin" and the suffix number, without exception, they were suddenly renamed "Lei City", and even the word "Lin" was gone, does this mean that there will be any major changes?

There was a moment of silence.

People who can be the boss, in addition to their combat power, their brains can't be funny, the mercenary industry is fiercely competitive, and it's a job to fight with their lives, people who don't have a little brain, no matter how high their combat power is, sitting in the position of the boss will also bring everyone into the gutter.

"Take the liberty of asking......" The bearded man who sat under Lin Xiong looked at Lin Lei and asked cautiously: "Does this mean that this city will not belong to the Lin family in the future, and it will not be supported by the Lin family?"

This issue is undoubtedly the most concerned by everyone now.

Mercenaries make money with their lives, and when they take on tasks, in addition to considering whether they will "have their lives to make money and not to spend their lives", another primary consideration is whether they can get the money for selling their lives after working hard.

The key to measuring this factor is the overall strength of the owner.

Like the Lin family, a big family with several medium-sized cities in hand, even if it is only a partial deposit in advance, the mercenary group will be willing to accept the task, because the family's credit and strength are the best payment guarantee.

However, if it is a newcomer who has just conquered the world in the Western Regions and wants to build a new city, when hiring mercenaries, it is usually necessary to pay the commission in full first, otherwise, a mercenary group with a little reputation will not take over.

Don't worry about whether the mercenary group will run away if they take the money, in that case, without the owner's hands, the people of the "Pan-Continent Mercenary Mission Guild", in addition to full compensation, will be the first to make them unable to survive on the mainland.

Not to mention taking the money and running away, if the mission fails, the mission guild will deduct part or full commission on the mercenary group, double the punishment, or even reduce the level of the mercenary group according to the specific situation.

When Lin Liucheng was built, Lin Xiong issued a mission in the name of the Lin family, and many mercenary groups were willing to work in this kind of ghost place that went deep into the magic rune forest, so to speak, it was for the Lin family's good reputation for decades and the endorsement of strong strength.

If Lin Liucheng was renamed "Thunder City", which meant that he would be independent of the Lin family from now on, then this account would not be calculated in this way.

All the bosses present, some even took a small part of the deposit, during the construction of the city, Lin Xiong, the city lord, also wrote a lot of white notes, owed these bosses a lot of commissions, the first two days of defending the city, more than half of the mercenaries were killed and wounded, and this blood money has not yet been settled.

Lin Xiong summoned all the bosses to discuss today, everyone thought that they were talking about the matter of raising blood money, who knew that the first news, it was actually this, and he was really surprised.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Lin Lei stretched out his hand unhurriedly, and with his fingers wearing a space ring, he knocked lightly on the tabletop, and the magic light flashed, and a half-meter-square box slammed on the table.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why.

Lin Xiong looked very tacit at Nina's signal, stood up, gently opened the lid of the box, and poured it forward hard, "Bang Lala" There was a crisp sound, the size of a fist, flashing red and brilliant fire element magic crystals, almost covering the table several meters long.

"Fire Elemental Crystal?"

"The ancestors are on top, such a big piece?"

"Where did all this come from? I've never seen such a large piece of magic crystal. ”

The dull scene suddenly became lively, and the well-informed bosses picked up the magic crystals that rolled down in front of them and played with them lovingly.

"It's not just big, it's so high?"

Alyssa looked at the magic crystal in her hand in fascination, almost stuck to her nose, in that red brilliance, the hidden high concentration of fire element, in the eyes of Alyssa, who majored in fire element, was the most beautiful existence.

Ellie's beautiful eyes widened, and she took a magic crystal and pasted it directly on her face, in her eyes, this is not a bullshit element, this is obviously endless wealth.

"Is this enough to pay everyone's commission? now, and in the future. ”

Lin Lei leaned back on the high-backed chair, his feet were heavily propped up on the table, and his expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, as if the thing in front of him was just a pile of stones.

There are hundreds of magic crystals on the table, even if they are all calculated according to the official purchase price of the empire, it is enough to buy a large city, if it is used to hire 100,000 mercenaries and hire it for ten years, it will not be so much.

However, for a group like mercenaries who wandered on the fringes of the Imperial Law, it was impossible for them to honestly sell so many super-grade magic crystals to the Empire and put them for auction on the black market, and they could be auctioned at any time at a sky-high price that was higher than the official price.

"Lin Lei, no, City Lord......" Lin Storm, who was sitting at the end of the long table and had never spoken, suddenly stood up, holding a piece of magic crystal tightly, and his face was flushed with excitement: "Can you, sell me a piece, I need a piece of this magic crystal." ”

"Do you need such a magic crystal?" Lin Lei looked up in surprise: "I thought you would like this more." ”

As Lin Lei's words fell, a slightly smaller box landed on the table with a "bang"—it was a flat box with a length and width of half a meter, exquisite workmanship, faintly glowing with magic, and the logo of the Lin clan of the Eastern Regions on it.

Any mercenary with a little eye can see that it is a sixth-order curing suit, and it is a product of the Lin family, which is famous for making high-quality curing potions, and it is worth more than 20 million at any time.

With the advent of the Sixth-Order Solidification Suit, the hall, which had become noisy because of the magic crystal, was quiet for a moment.

Magic Crystal means wealth, but a set of ready-made sixth-order solidification means that life will immediately reach a new level.

You must know that the curing above the sixth order is not something that can be bought with money, even a potion family like the Lin clan in the Eastern Regions needs to spend half a year to a year to complete the production of a set of cured potions above the sixth order, this is still in the case of no shortage of materials, if there is a shortage of some materials, I don't know when I have to wait.

"I originally planned to buy the entire Backfire Mercenary Group, and this is the price I paid. Lin Lei looked at Lin Storm who was beginning to pant with a little curiosity: "Now, do you still need a magic crystal?"

The bosses finally changed color in an uproar.

A mercenary group of only a few dozen people like Backfire is called a mercenary group to save face, many mercenary groups that are less than the second order, and the number of branch squads are more than fifty people, if there are not two fifth-order bosses, and the members are also above the third order, they are not qualified to sit here at all.

This kind of mercenary group, which few people know about in the Western Regions, can have hundreds of thousands of gold coins in a year, which can be regarded as a magic crystal falling from the sky, and a set of sixth-order solidification used to acquire such a mercenary group is a complete loser.

With such conditions, not to mention backfire, many of the bosses of the mercenary groups with hundreds of scales present were drooling.

"I, I'm ......" Lin Storm with red eyes, looked straight a few meters away, containing the sixth-order solidified box, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and said with difficulty: "If Lord Lin Lei can see it, Backfire can serve you at any time, but, but, I still hope that my lord, can give me a piece of magic crystal, and, help me make a 'Fire God Demon Crystal', yes, this is mine, choose ......"

Wanting to acquire Backfire was not a decision made by Lin Lei on a whim. Under the existing laws of the empire, all nobles' personal guards cannot exceed two hundred, which is also the fundamental reason for the existence of a large number of mercenaries.

Based on the "Thunder City", Lin Lei can also form a private guard after applying to the empire for an independent aristocratic leader, which requires a group of people with reliable combat power and character.

Backfire Mercenary Group, although they have known each other for a few days, the two brothers of the Lin family, in the face of strong pressure, did not choose to sell themselves, from this point of view, the character is reliable.

During the first defense of the city, the members of Backfire helped themselves block the javelins of the troll dwarves several times, and in the subsequent desperate battle against the demon dwarves, they also showed a good team spirit, and never gave up on their injured companions.

The character is reliable, the number is small, and the overall quality is high, these are the most in line with Lin Lei's mind.

"Do you have an enemy? a very strong enemy?"

Lin Lei half-squinted, touched his freshly shaved bald head, and looked at Lin Storm.

No matter how valuable the "Vulcan Demon Crystal" is in the black market, it can't be exchanged for a set of sixth-order cured potions that are even large goods, Lin Storm can only choose this because he likes the incomparable power of the "Vulcan Demon Crystal", which is enough to destroy opponents whose strength is far beyond his own.

If you are caught off guard and are smashed on your body by such a large piece of "Vulcan Demon Crystal", not to mention the sixth-order, the eighth-order solidification will have to be wiped out, which is why the empire must use the strictest law to absolutely prohibit this kind of thing from circulating among the people, otherwise, I am afraid that William the Great, his own life safety, will not be much guaranteed.

"Yes, adult......" Lin Storm suddenly walked out of his seat, knelt down on one knee in front of Lin Lei from a distance, his eyes were full of tears, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The hatred of the extermination, you can't forget it, Lin Storm fled to the Western Regions for many years, and he didn't have a night of peace in his heart, please fulfill it." ”

Lin Lei walked out of his seat, came to Lin Storm, and said indifferently: "Since this is the case, you should be caught alive, how many people you have, chop him into as many pieces, if someone dares to stop him, he will destroy his entire clan, in order to relieve the hatred in his heart, if he is killed at once, isn't it too cheap for him?"
