In the cool autumn Talisman Forest, the sun is a little more elegant and calm than the cool summer, without the cover of the jungle leaves, the Thunder City facing the sun naked* and naked looks very simple under the blue sky and white sun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After more than half a year of wind and sun, the logs on the city wall that had not even been peeled off their bark were already full of life in some places, and there was no shortage of new sprouts and vines. But most of the walls, after being climbed by the claws of countless siege demon dwarves, the mottled paw prints, like the scribbling of the lowest apprentices, were so unsightly.

Standing far away on the edge of the jungle, looking at this city that completely belonged to him, and looking at the refreshed mercenaries guarding the city on the city wall, Lin Lei suddenly felt inexplicably irritable.

When a person has nothing to worry about, he will cause trouble, and if he gets into trouble, it is a big deal to smear oil on the soles of his feet, and it is not a matter of size or size, and he forgets that the land is vast and boundless, and where can he not cultivate and live? But now it is different, this city is its own foundation, and it is the guarantee of the development of strength, but it is ...... Who said it's not a dead hole that can't be moved?

If Clemens hadn't been stopped by Lin Lei tearing the tiger skin of the goddess temple today, how the ending would have ended was not under his control at all.

If Nina were discovered by the mysterious existence of Osphili today, he would have no choice but to fight to the death.

If now, Clemens finds out that he has been deceived and brings hundreds of Erlong Knights to set foot on Thunder City, he will not be able to resist it at all.

"Don't you feel so stressed?" said Nina.

"I feel that the responsibility is not small. Lin Lei responded indifferently and slowly walked towards the gate of Lei City.

"Lin Xiong has carefully explored the area within a radius of twenty miles in the past two days, and has not found any traces of the activities of the demon dwarves, the area where Thunder City is located is currently in a safe state, and it is expected to be maintained for a long time, unless those guys who only think about eating meat in their minds can find a way to deal with the 'Light of Ao Dai'.

I have asked Lin Xiong to arrange a large number of people to start digging ore veins, and it is expected that from next week, we will have a steady stream of gold coins coming in, and with a large amount of continuous investment, we can maintain the rapid development of the city.

Alyssa has made all the core modules you left behind into 'Ao Dai's Light', and has begun to trial produce the core modules, and now the first and second level magicians in the city, no matter what attribute they major, everyone has obtained 'Ao Dai's Light', Alyssa has personally compiled a special combat team to ensure that they will participate in the battle under the best protection, and they are now being trained.

In two days, a passage that can connect to Andriol Fort will be officially opened, new people will arrive with supplies, and the bosses of other mercenary groups will start the preparation and training of new people, and gradually start the expansion of Thunder City.

Lin Xiong has already conveyed your intentions to Alyssa, and in two days, the basic city construction plan and drawings can be designed, and the future Thunder City will gradually develop into a huge fortress full of aggression, but it will take a long time.

According to your instructions, the two brothers of the Lin family have already let the entire backfire people start special training, as long as the funds are in place, they can soon be allowed to go to the mission guild to accept the solidification, they all have at least three levels of foundation, as long as there are two more promotions, they can become a powerful personal guard, of course, it is best to spend some money to replace their equipment.

Judging from Lin Xiong's original level of wisdom, he is very suitable for managing the city, Olich can also share a lot if he cultivates it, Alyssa is very talented in equipment production, and Alyssa is also fully competent to manage a huge mercenary group as the highest combat power, and the Lin family brothers are quite reliable in terms of talent and character.

Everything will go according to your intentions, but this may require a lot of money, relying only on the current four ore veins, it should not be enough, we will need more sources of income in the future, such as more magic crystal mines, or really find the toughness, however, I know that you will not sell if you find the toughness.

Also, I'm afraid we're going to have some trouble lately. Clemens will soon find out that he has been tricked by you, and even if he can't blatantly come to the door to find trouble, Andriol Fort is the only supply city within a hundred miles of us, and he will definitely not forget to arrange some surprises for you. ”

In his mind, Nina listed the current situation and future plans of Thunder City for Lin Lei one by one, which made Lin Lei have a ridiculous feeling that he wanted to start playing "Heroes of Might and Magic".

"Let him arrange it, I'm looking forward to his disappointed expression...... Lin Lei smiled indifferently: "Why do we want to go to Andleborg for supplies?We should go to Linshou City, which is a bigger city than Andleburg, it is a first-class security zone, everything is much cheaper than Andleburg, some can even be several times cheaper.

The city lord there is still our Lin clan's own clan, we should cooperate more with our clan, and if we have money, we should also earn it for them, so that we can win more support, I remember you also said that Lin Xiong wants to be the elder of the Lin family in the Eastern Regions, I think this is a good idea. ”

"Is this joke going to be funny?" Nina said boringly: "Lin Shoucheng is more than two thousand miles away from us, unless you are a great mage of the wind system, you can fly directly over if you are not afraid of being tired and half dead, so we can arrive in half a day, and then buy a big space ring, fill it with things and fly back, this is okay."

Or you go to the goddess hall first, advance to become a great magician, and then give priority to cultivating wind magic, after reaching the fifth level, you can learn the 'Wings of the Wind God', but the fifth level of wind magic can't let you fly so far, and you are not majoring in the wind system, the progress will be very slow, and when you cultivate to the fifth level, I don't know how long it will take. ”

"It seems to be ......" Lin Lei touched his big bald head, half-squinted his eyes, and his eyes were bright and bright: "I can indeed fly, I don't need to learn any bullshit 'Wings of the Wind God', fire magic can, do you believe it or not?"

Regardless of whether Nina believes it or not, after returning to Thunder City, Lin Lei directly found the only tailor in the city who helped the mercenaries make daily clothes, handed him a drawing, and asked him to sew something according to the pattern, and found the only blacksmith who also helped the mercenaries repair armor and weapons, and handed him another drawing.

In the end, he asked Lin Xiong to tell the mercenaries to do something that Nina couldn't understand at all, and then he didn't care about anything and went to the earthen mining area alone to investigate.

This vein of the earth system, which is very likely to produce tough crystals, is more than 3,000 meters outside the city wall, only a few hundred meters away from the edge of the river, under a small stone pinnacle.

Among the four ore veins that have been discovered, this earth-based magic crystal mine is the farthest away from Lei City, and the stone peak that is pressed on it is not big or small, it is too troublesome to dismantle, and if it is not demolished, he is afraid that he will accidentally dig up and smash the people below, so Lin Xiong has not moved this place much, just figuratively digging a little bit to see the quality of the magic crystal.

Magic crystals are usually hidden in stones, some stones, the presence of magic crystals can be seen from the surface, and some look like ordinary stones, you have to smash them open to know if there are magic crystals.

Digging magic crystals is actually digging stones, smashing stones, picking out stones with magic crystals, and transporting them back to the city, and then using meticulous tools to knock out the magic crystals little by little.

It's a rough job, and anyone with a little strength can do it.

Of course, rough work can also be done with technical content, like Lin Lei, a psychopathic guy, it will obviously be more direct to use spiritual induction, when looking for and detecting mineral veins, it must be necessary for a great magician to use spiritual power to detect, otherwise the magic rune forest is so big, by digging everywhere, how big a "**** luck" can find the mineral vein.

Although Lin Lei is not yet a great magician, his spiritual power is no worse than that of a great magician (the exercise of fire is the control of the fire element, and the improvement of spiritual power is only incidental), after releasing the spiritual realm, he soon sensed the unique fluctuations of magic crystals in the large and small stones under his feet.

It's a pity that the information that the spiritual power regurgitates can only distinguish which stones have magic crystals and which ones are just waste, but they can't let Lin Lei know which ones are tough crystals and which ones are earth crystals, and this kind of induction will gradually blur as the distance lengthens, maybe when Lin Lei really advances to the great magician, he can detect that subtle difference.

It seems that if you want to know whether there is really a tough crystal in this vein, you still have to dig slowly and pick carefully, which will undoubtedly be a time-consuming project for Lin Lei, and what Lin Lei lacks most now is time, whether it is to be promoted to the Great Magician or to build Thunder City, it is a matter of impatience.

Tujing is not too valuable, just leave it to the mercenaries to dig, the mercenaries who do this are carefully selected and reliable, and usually do not do the thing of stealing chickens and dogs for temporary interests, but this kind of thing, if you get a little bit, you can make a mercenary live comfortably for a lifetime, and you can also have a family property to leave to future generations, but you can't help but beware of someone who will take risks.

Just as Lin Lei felt a headache and considered whether to let go of everything, go to the Goddess Hall to advance to the Great Magician first, and then come back to mine, Nina suddenly shouted: "At the bottom, ten meters or so, it seems that something is different." ”

"Can you tell the difference between magic crystals?"

Lin Lei was a little surprised, Nina's induction also relied on Lin Lei's spiritual realm, ten meters away, it was already the edge of his spiritual detection, not to mention the difference in distinguishing the magic crystal, even if it was just to analyze whether there was a magic crystal in the stone, it was difficult to distinguish.

"Not yet, it just feels different from other places. ”

More than ten meters is the height of several floors, and with Lin Lei's inexhaustible strength, it took him more than half a day to dig into the place that Nina said, which is not the same.

It was a huge pebble of color, with strange patterns on the surface, half a man high.

"Isn't it all Tenacity, in that case, we'll need to rebuild a place bigger than Citizen to store gold coins......"

Lin Lei smashed the pebbles with a shovel and said a cold joke.

Where the shovel fell, sparks were splashed, and there was not even a trace left on the surface of the pebbles, but the shovel made of alloy in Lin Lei's hand and specially used to dig soil and smash stones was missing a small corner.

"Don't, don't touch it, let me feel it......" Nena's voice was a little confused: "It's not a stone...... Why do I feel the breath of life......"

"Life, you mean this thing is a living stone?"

Lin Lei was shocked. Ninake does not have the habit of fooling people, it says that there is life, that is, there is, but a living stone, could it be the "Monkey King" Monkey King inside?

"Couldn't it just be an egg?" said Nina with contempt for Raylei's stupidity.

"Okay, an egg ......" Lin Lei swallowed his saliva, and then touched the surface of the pebbles covered with strange lines and extremely rough.

The magic crystal is a dead magic beast or magic plant, buried deep in the soil, under the strong underground pressure, after tens of millions of years to condense the elemental crystal, even if it is like this shallow magic crystal ore, it is also accidentally exposed after stratum changes, this is common sense.

And this huge thing in front of him, buried in the depths of the magic crystal mine, even if it is really an egg, whether it is a bastard or some other bastard, after being buried deep in the ground for tens of millions of years, it can only be a fossil egg, Nina can feel the breath of life, most of it is left from before.

"This is an egg ......" Nina ignored the ridicule in Lin Lei's words, and said very seriously: "I can sense that there is still some breath of life in it, very weak and very powerful, this is an egg that is not completely dead, why, it makes me feel terrified, if it is still alive, it must be a terrifying existence." ”

Lin Lei believed this, if this is really an egg, the thing that gave birth to this egg is definitely an amazing existence, not to mention how huge the guy who laid the egg should be, just by virtue of this egg and the magic crystal, after undergoing endless underground pressure, the eggshell has not broken, it can be seen that this thing is definitely not mortal.

"But it's a useless egg now, and even if it's alive, we can't get its mother to hatch it. "I didn't dig up the tenacious crystal, Lin Lei was a little bored.

"No, its breath of life shows that it has been formed to the state of breaking the shell, but I don't know why, it just can't hatch, it seems that something is missing......" Nina lowered her voice, obviously thinking: "By the way, the soul, it's the soul mark, it has no soul."

I know...... Over the years, it has matured, but under the strong pressure of the earth, it has no way to break out of its shell, so it can only maintain its life in a dormant way, and until now, its vitality has not been exhausted.

But it is still very weak and the soul is not complete, in the course of thousands of years, the soul imprint has long been consumed, yes, it lacks a soul. What a powerful existence this is, and if human beings are given another 10 million years, they will not be able to evolve such an ancient perfect life form. ”

"Okay, if you're done sighing, I'm going to continue digging tough crystals, the road to human strength relies more on smart minds, which is what you call souls, rather than how developed limbs are, but whether we can be strong now depends on whether we can dig out some tough crystals, and the future thunderfire team needs this thing very much. ”

"Oh, you're so smart and so smart, the Prime, the Spirit, the ......Spirit, the Spirit ”

"Calm down, calm down......" Lin Lei shouted in shock, Nina always gave Lin Lei a very calm look, even when he met Osphi Li, he was a little cowardly, but he never showed this kind of excitement to the point of madness. (To be continued.) )
