Looking down from the top of the thunder city wall, in the northwest jungle, a faintly visible fire dragon suddenly appeared, the temperature of the fire dragon seemed to be frighteningly high, separated by a distance of thousands of meters, the oncoming mountain wind, still made the soldiers on the wall feel scorching, and the air that should have been cool in the early morning was also filled with a thick smell of gunsmoke. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In front of Lin Lei, there was a straight wall of fire ten meters wide and about 100 meters long. The wall of fire ignited flames more than a person high, and the flames flickered red, blue, and white.

Under the terrifying heat, the thick vines that crawled all over the jungle withered in an instant and turned into ashes in a blink of an eye. The bark of the giant tree, which had no moisture, was also lit almost instantly, and the flames spread all the way up the trunk, quickly turning these giant trees, which were one or twenty meters high, into giant torches that burned one after another.

Under the bark, the thick trunk of the tree is roasted to a blazing heat, and the water quickly turns into water vapor, which is sprayed out of the crack in the bark, and under the high-temperature flame, the water vapor is also quickly decomposed, turning into a burning power, and the flame that is already close to cyan is constantly upgraded to a white flame that is enough to melt gold and wrought iron under the newly added combustion elements.

The raging flames stopped three feet away from Lin Lei's body, three feet away, there was a terrifying high temperature that could melt the heavy armor, within three feet, but it was only slightly warm, and all the bursting fire elements, when they entered Lin Lei's body three feet, they were pushed back by the spiritual power, and they could not cause any damage to the body.

"What's going on? Why is the 'Wall of Fire' he unleashed like this, so huge, and so hot, I remember, the Wall of Fire technique you put on it, at most, it dried the wood, and it couldn't even burn the fire...... Hey, I'm talking to you, do you want to be such a nymphomaniac?"

Alyssa turned her head to ask Alyssa, only to find that Alyssa looked at the fire in the distance, looking demented.

As if she hadn't heard Alyssie's words, Alyssa looked at the increasingly fierce fire dragon and muttered to herself: "Dean Raleigh is right, the meaning of the existence of magicians is to create, their own magic. ”

"I'm talking to you......" Elliejie pressed her ear against Alyssa's ear, snorting dissatisfiedly.

"Ah......h

Alyssa jumped a few steps away in panic and glared at Ellie in anger.

The most sensitive thing in her body is her ears, and what she fears and hates the most is that others breathe into her ears, and the only one who dares to do this, and often does it, is this hateful sister.

"Hey, what kind of 'firewall technique' do you say? ”

Alyssa Jie 's curious expression remained the same, turning a blind eye to Alyssa's murderous gaze - this kind of prank has been done since she was a child, I don't know how many times, Alyssa can also stare at her, a character like a sister is born to bully.

"This is not the 'Wall of Fire'......" Alyssa, who has been particularly obsessed with magic since she was a child, was immediately distracted by Eliza's words, turned her head to look at the fire dragon in the jungle, and said dizzily: "It should be 'Hellfire Sea', and it is a more powerful upgraded version, not only is the flame more powerful, but it also burns longer."

When Lord Raleigh taught me, he said that magic is ever-changing, and you can do whatever you want. It's a pity that my talent is really terrible, and after reaching the fifth level, I can no longer cross that threshold, and I have failed to live up to the high expectations of my mentor. ”

"Don't talk about these useless things, fire magic, it was originally for people with bad talent to cultivate, and there are few who can practice to the peak of the fifth level, how does Old Man Raleigh still want you to ......" Speaking of this, Ellie Jie was shocked again: "Hey, no, it's not right at all, this guy at the bottom, isn't it a bad talent?"

Alyssa seemed to be frozen by Alyssa Liejie's words, and was stunned for a long time before she suddenly muttered excitedly: "I understand...... What the Mentor said is right, innate ability determines the level of the magician, and creativity determines the height that the magician can achieve, Mentor, I understand, I really understand. ”

Lin Lei walked forward, the "Sea of Hellfire" behind him had been extinguished, but countless tall giant trees had been completely ignited, and it was only a matter of time before they burned out, and even the huge leaves that could not be lit with fire would be completely dried in the end.

As Alyssa guessed, this is indeed an upgraded version of the "Sea of Hellfire", but Lin Lei has not changed the mystery of this magic in the slightest, and the key to the upgrade of this magic is the absolute control of spiritual power.

The "Sea of Hellfire" costs 27 mana extinguishing power, but in Lin Lei's hands, it can be more or less, just the power of the flames and the time it burns.

In Lin Lei's hands, the burning range of the "Hellfire Sea" is no longer an immutable circle, as long as Lin Lei is willing, it can also be a straight strip like now, or even, it is a fire dragon chasing the enemy and burning wildly, all of which have only one reason - to respect fire.

The sudden departure of "Tinasi", and the final decision not to chase after it, seemed to make Lin Lei have an epiphany, maybe there are also the influencing factors of the demon dwarf's soul fragment as Nina said, in short, after leaving the explosion site, Lin Lei's heart has no distractions except for becoming absolutely powerful.

Or, this state is really as Nina said, into the devil, but Lin Lei into the devil, not personality, but faith.

After returning to his residence, Lin Lei closed his door and locked himself in the hut alone, devoting himself to cultivating the magic of "respecting fire", which is said to be practiced only by gods or neurotics.

For two whole days, Lin Lei did not waste a minute or a second, and spent all his energy on the cultivation of "respecting fire", and it was an extremely perverted cultivation method that no one could imagine.

The cultivation of "respecting fire" is to release the magic power of a fourth-level magic and control it in the realm of spiritual power, while the perverted Lin Lei releases all the magic power at once and controls it with all his might.

Lin Lei's magic power is full of level seven, level seven and level four, and the difference in magic power is 27 times. Lin Lei practiced for two days and two nights with 27 times the difficulty.

Until the end, the metamorphosis spirit recovery ability that has always had no bottom line was finally tossed by Lin Lei, and he trained himself to the point of being unconscious - it was a super demonic beast, and the elf recovery ability of the sea demon snake that had lived for thousands of years couldn't withstand Lin Lei's perverted toss.

After sleeping all day, after waking up, Lin Lei found that his black and beautiful "hair" had all turned into ashes - this big bald head with a shiny oil was really not Lin Lei's desire to pretend to be forced to take the non-mainstream route, it was just an unexpected price paid for wanting to "become a god".

Ordinary fourth- and fifth-level magicians, with their spiritual power recovery speed, ten minutes of cultivation a day "respecting fire" is already the limit, and Lin Lei's non-stop cultivation for two days is no exaggeration, it is no exaggeration to say that it is equivalent to an ordinary magician, who has been cultivating for more than twenty years - of course, this kind of algorithm is only based on the premise of not using external objects to assist.

In fact, many powerful families that have been inherited for thousands of years have done everything to cultivate outstanding clansmen, and it is entirely possible to have treasures beyond the level of the Sea Demon Snake in their hands.

It's like Tinasi, at the age of less than twenty, cultivating to the eighth level is already very magical, if you don't rely on the assistance of any anti-heaven treasures, if you want to double major in all eight levels, then you only rely on ethereal miracles.

Twenty years, all used to practice a magic, or still can't become a god, but at least it deserves the word "magical".

Stepping out of the range of flames, I didn't see any movement of Lin Lei's hands, and the mysterious magic light of "flame plunder" had flashed on his body, in the spiritual world, within the range of the fire field behind him, the burning tree trunks all glowed with a faint red glow, turning into a streamer and disappearing at the center of Lin Lei's eyebrows, not much at all, not much at all, just to fill up the magic power consumed just now.

Performing this "Flame Plunder", Lin Lei did not use his hands, nor did he rely on any help from Nina, he purely outlined the mystery with spiritual power, which was exactly the same as the way Nina released his magic.

A small gust of wind blew, and behind him there was the sound of trees falling with a bang, one, two, three...... After being burned by the blazing flames, Lin Lei sucked away part of the fire element with "flame plunder", and the trunk at the bottom suddenly became brittle, and finally could not bear its own weight, and was crushed by the huge canopy and collapsed.

In the eyes of everyone in Thunder City, after burning violently for a few minutes, within the range where the fire dragon was, the burning giant trees began to collapse towards the fire field one after another, and a moment ago, it was still a lush jungle, and the rudiments of a passage had already appeared.

In front of the extinguished fire, a fire dragon, still ten meters wide and a hundred meters long, appeared out of thin air again, pointing straight to the northwest.

"The ten days he spoke of were used to level the ground for us......"

Ellie pursed her lips, her expression seemed to be a little unconvinced, but the look in her eyes was flying.

Yes, next, you just need to wait, wait for those big trees to burn to ashes by themselves, and then clean up a little, level the ground, a ten-meter-wide, hundred-meter-long, neat life passage, just like that, and you don't even need to dispatch many people, the former Backfire Mercenary Regiment, and now the Thunderfire Guard, can be easily done.

Citizen City, with a city wall of 30 meters and a city area of more than 200 square kilometers, is the largest hub city within a radius of 100 miles.

But, everything is in the past.

When Lin Lei came out of the jungle, this big city that stood on the border of the Western Regions and had been deep in the Talisman Forest for more than ten years, now, in front of Lin Lei, there was only a bunch of boundless remains that had just been extinguished.

Although it is a wreckage, it is not lifeless, on the contrary, it is still very lively, just within Lin Lei's line of sight, there are thousands of mercenaries, who are digging on the wreckage that has been burned into ruins, digging little by little with tools.

"How can there be so many people?" Lin Lei frowned and asked Nina in his mind.

The passage of life has been opened to the vicinity, and Lin Lei came to finally determine the location of Citizen - Citizen City already has a passage to connect to other surrounding cities, as long as it is opened here, there will naturally be a way to Andriol Castle.

"It's not surprising at all, after robbing and burning it all, those dirty guys, do it every time......" Nina said as a matter of course: "However, the things they rob are not valuable goods in the eyes of humans, and they don't want what is really valuable."

Therefore, after the fall of the city, although it has been burned down, there are still a lot of valuable things left, and the magic crystals that are valuable and not afraid of fire are the targets of these people's excavation, and if they are lucky, they can make more money than being a mercenary for a year. ”

"Aren't they afraid that the demon dwarves will kill them again?" Lin Lei frowned, but didn't say anything.

"Don't be afraid, at least don't be afraid during the day, and Andriol Fort is very close to here, and there is a life passage connected to it, in case the demon dwarf comes, just run back, one or twenty miles away, for the solidification warriors, it is only ten minutes." ”

The significance of the existence of the life channel, in addition to the passage of vehicles to carry goods, another key role is to guide the direction.

For the skills of solidified warriors, there will not be much difference between having a road and not having a road, but whether they will lose their way or not is a world of difference.

If there is no road to guide them, even the most experienced mercenaries will not dare to bury their heads in the road, otherwise, the city one or twenty miles away may not be able to walk for a lifetime.

"Would you like to follow along, and maybe you'll find something good." "Finding treasures in the garbage heaps and searching with the psychic powers of the magicians is undoubtedly more useful than those guys' shovels," Nina proposed. ”

"What is there to find, what we lack is people. Ray was dismissive of Nina's proposal.

Picking up garbage is undoubtedly a bit out of style, but it's not that Lin Lei can't let go of his identity, it's just that it's not necessary.

Human nature is originally greedy, and there are cheap ones who don't take them, except for fools, usually not because of noble character, maybe like Lin Lei, the cheap is too small, and it is just not worth it.

"Congratulations, they're exactly what you need. It's been so many days since the fall of Citizen, and the good things have already been poached by the people of the big mercenary group, and now they are still rummaging through here, all of them are small groups that can't even receive tasks, if you just need human work, whether it's cutting trees or mining, they can definitely do it. ”

Lin Lei's heart moved—this was indeed a good idea.

Lei Cheng is only the size of a medium-sized city now, but from the perspective of the surrounding environment, it is more than enough to build a large city, which the dead ghost Lin Xiong actually knows, but people are just poor and short-sighted, but Lin Lei is not short of money.

Based on the previously known veins, it was obviously risky to build a large city, but if the magic crystal veins were just like that, there would never be so many demon dwarves nearby.

There are as many demon dwarves as there are demon crystal mines, which has almost become a necessity. Therefore, near Lei City, there must be a huge amount of mineral veins that have not been discovered, and it is not risky to build a large city at all.

After Lin Lei's fuss last night, unless the demon dwarf has grown his brain to the asshole, he will not easily provoke Lei City, as long as there are enough people, Lei City can start planning and expansion immediately, and even planning the mining area into the protection of the city wall, it is not impossible.

The biggest difference between the mining areas in the city and the mining areas outside the city is the huge gap in mining costs.

The mining area outside the city may be attacked by the demon dwarf at any time, and only the solidified warriors above the second level can be sent to the mining mission, and the mining areas that are too remote even have to find the third level warriors in order to escape back when the demon dwarves suddenly attack.

However, the mining area in the city is in a safe position, and the cheapest first-level solidification warrior can do it well, and the cost gap is worth calculating.

However, although there were many people in front of him, Lin Lei couldn't find a clue how to recruit them.

When he was having a headache, a loud shout came from not far away: "Put it down, it was your grandfather who found out first." ”

Lin Lei looked around, but it was a tall mercenary warrior with a fierce face, blocking a thin young man and not letting him go.

The thin young man, dressed in ordinary black clothes, a little broken, obviously not a mercenary, his face and exposed hands and feet were also black, if he lay down in the wreckage, it would be no different from a piece of charred wood, and he didn't know how many ruins he had to drill to make himself look like that.

The young man's clenched palm shone slightly, obviously, it was a magic crystal, and it was not small.

"Didim, if you dare to rob the master's things, I will tell the people of the guild about the dirty things you wild wolves did last time. The boy held his head high, and although his face was angry, he did not show timidity.

"Hu, nonsense, that's obvious, I found out first, why did I rob you of things......" The big man called Didim was a little weak-hearted, and his voice stammered, and his voice was much quieter.

"Didim, Olich's thing, don't be red-eyed, it's not a good thing to worry about this kid, there is nothing in this Andrill Fort that he can't inquire about. ”

A mercenary who was resting next to him interjected happily.

Didim hesitated for a moment, then walked away in a huff.

The young man named Olich clutched the magic crystal in his hand, and immediately ran away, hid in a small house that was half burned down, spread out his palms, and happily wiped the magic crystal in his hand with the dirty and hopeless placket.

This is a piece slightly larger than the thumb, cone-shaped magic crystal, with a faint cyan, detached from a broken magic weapon part, although judging from the very light color, more than half of the energy has been consumed, but as a second-hand sale to Evra, you can still earn a dozen gold coins, the entire Andleburg, Evra's price, is the fairest.

Thinking that he would soon be able to save enough money to buy a first-level curing potion, Olrich grinned happily.

Not far away, Lin Lei, who saw this scene, may have been infected by the young man's unusually clean smile, and inexplicably showed a smiling face.

"Oh, you're smiling, I don't think I've seen you change your face in days. Nina screamed in limp in the back of his mind.

Lin Lei ignored Nina and walked straight towards the boy.

Seeing someone coming, the young Olrich alertly put away the magic crystal in his hand, his black and white eyes, and looked at Lin Lei with a little vigilance.

"You're not a mercenary in the city. ”

Hardly looking at Lin Lei in front of him, the young man said with certainty.

"How do you know?" Lin Lei was a little curious: "There are so many mercenaries in Andrill Castle, can you remember what each of them looks like?"

"Why do you want to remember everyone's appearance? Just remember the logo of the mercenary group......" Olich looked like a fool: "Besides, even if you don't look at the logo, people who have seen a hairless head like you will not easily forget it." ”

Hairless head...... Lin Lei touched his bald head with interest, but he really forgot about his non-mainstream "hairstyle".

"Then, how many mercenary group symbols can you remember?" Lin Lei smiled lightly.

"Countless of them, as long as I've seen them. Olich raised his head proudly.

"Have you ever seen this sign?" Lin Lei saw a silver token in his hand.

"So you're the boss of the rhino, hey, no......" Olicy thought for a moment: "The boss of the rhino is a sixth-level solidified warrior, but you are not a warrior, you are a magician." ”

"Oh, how can you tell I'm a magician?" Lin Lei's interest in the boy grew.

"Are you a fool? How could a warrior use a space ring?" Olich looked at Lin Lei with disdain.

"Haha......" Lin Lei was amused by Olich's eyes: "I think, you need a job, what do you think?"

"Ten silver coins a day. Olich unceremoniously spread ten fingers, and immediately put it away: "However, that's the usual price, not for the past two days, do you see, there are so many treasures waiting for me here, if I want to be your guide, my loss will be great."

If you must hire a guide who knows everything about Andriol Fort right away, then you have to pay a minimum of two gold coins a day, which is the minimal. ”

"Hahahaha......" Lin Lei laughed and turned around, looking like he was going to leave.

"Alas, don't go, otherwise, one gold coin and five silver coins will do...... One gold coin, just one gold coin. ”

"I'll give you ten gold coins a day...... Lin Lei turned around with a smile, thought for a while, and pointed to the mercenaries in the ruins and said: "If you can get them all to come and help me work, I'll give you a hundred gold coins, what do you think?"

"A hundred gold coins?" Olich's eyes were about to fall out, but after thinking for a while, he said, "How can there be such a good thing, unless you say what kind of task it is, I won't help you." ”

"I have a city and I want to make it bigger, and it takes a lot of people. ”

"Is it the Lin Liucheng that you cangxi is stationed in?Is it a long-term contract?How many people do you need?" Olich's eyes lit up again.

"If I could, I'd take all the people here. ”

"Deal. ”

Olich jumped up, took the token from Lin Lei's palm with a "whoosh", climbed a crumbling and broken tower, held the token high, and shouted in his voice: "Cangxi recruits, repairs the city chief's contract, each person only charges a silver coin introduction fee, and the number of places is limited......"

With Olich's shout, the mercenary warriors near and far in the ruins stopped their movements one after another, and after an instant, they rushed to Olich's feet.

"Do you have to charge a referral fee? This is fine......

Seeing those mercenary soldiers with happy faces, Lin Lei suddenly had a feeling of being wronged. (To be continued.) )
