Lord of the People: My Talent is 100 Million Points Strong

"Your Excellency, guest, may give your orders, but in order to repay the kindness of Your Highness the Princess and Your Excellency, I will do my best and die!"

After speaking with a solemn expression, Huo De performed a standard breast-stroking ceremony towards Lei Xiao and Ariel respectively.

"The first point is to take good care of your injuries. We have a long way to go in the future. This is just the beginning."

After speaking, Lei Xiao waved his hand lightly, and ten third-level healing potions wrapped in exquisite brocade boxes suddenly appeared on the mahogany table beside him.

For a moment, waves of refreshing fragrance rippled out from the brocade box and quickly spread in the air.

"Is this rich and strange fragrance all a third-level magic potion?"

Realizing this, Hodder felt that his throat was a little dry and he swallowed involuntarily.

The total value of these potions, which easily exceeded the eight-digit Golden Dragon, appeared together at the same time. Even if he was sitting in Gelin City, this was the only time in his life that he had seen them!

As a fourth-level powerhouse, Huo De clearly understood.

Unlike potions that permanently enhance strength, healing potions can achieve amazing results even when used across levels.

For example, when the injury is not serious and the priest cannot get timely treatment, a second-level healing potion can also play a positive recovery role for a fifth-level strong person.

Therefore, the price of healing potions, which can be called life-saving magic weapons, and the potions that permanently enhance strength, has always been at the top of the same class of potions, and the price is much higher than that of potions of the same class. equipment.

No anti-theft novel network

After all, magic potion is just a consumable item, which is completely different from equipment that can be used all the time.

"The third-level healing potions are in many cases priceless and highly sought after at auctions. They are no longer precious items that can be bought casually."

Looking at the ten magic potions surrounded by the fragrant fragrance in front of him, Huo De was amazed and continued to think in his heart.

"I once heard Master Yatuo mention that another reason why magic potions are valuable is that most of the natural materials used as raw materials grow extremely slowly and cannot be cultivated artificially."

"Therefore, no matter how many alchemists there are, the output will remain at a low level all year round."

"The effect can be called a miracle, coupled with the limited production, this is the so-called rare thing, right?"

Thinking of this, Hodder focused his attention again on the ten third-level magic potions neatly arranged in front of him, and asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, guest minister, are these...all for me?"

"exactly."

Lei Xiao nodded and responded: "These are all from Ju Bai, who is a general of the kingdom and a strong fourth-level healer. According to your injuries, he specially selected and matched them. They are enough for you to heal quickly in a short time." Restore it to its original state.”

"Thank you very much, Your Excellency, Guest, and thank you very much, Your Highness the Princess!"

Hearing this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on Hod's pale face, and he expressed gratitude repeatedly.

In the current environment of internal and external troubles, being able to recover from injuries as quickly as possible is naturally the best thing for a city lord who is in charge of one side!

Moreover, this is a potion worth tens of millions of gold dragons. Excluding the taxes and various expenses paid to the royal family, it is enough to equal the total profit of Gelin City in the past thirty years!

"You're welcome, this is for Ge Lincheng and for Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao motioned for Huo De to sit next to him and said, "Okay, this kind of trivial matter is not worth mentioning. Next, we should talk about the second thing."

Lei Xiao first signaled the two maids Aling and Bing who were waiting at the side to serve tea, and then said: "However, before that, there is new news that I want to share with the City Lord."

After taking the tea cup that A Bing handed over respectfully, Lei Xiao gently sniffed the refreshing aroma of tea and continued: "That's what happened at the Mountain Fort Fortress..."

Next,

While drinking fragrant tea, Lei Xiao briefly described how he defeated the Holy Night Army with the help of Bai Lao.

"I didn't expect that Your Excellency Ke Qing and Her Royal Highness the Princess would achieve such a great victory on the border battlefield..."

After listening carefully to Lei Xiao's description, Huo De, who had been holding the tea cup, couldn't help but have a touch of reverence in his eyes, and said excitedly: "Those bastards who took advantage of others finally got the punishment they deserve!"

In the excitement, Huo De seemed to realize something, and quickly stood up and bowed: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, Your Majesty the Princess, before this, neither the ministers nor this Gelin City got up. Any help is needed.”

"It doesn't matter."

Waving his hand slightly, signaling Huo De to sit down again, Lei Xiao continued: "There are many cities of the Second Prince's faction around Gelin City. If my prediction is correct, if there is no city lord sitting in charge, I am afraid that this city will be destroyed. It has already changed hands.”

"I really can't hide anything from Your Excellency, Guest Minister."

On the other side, Huo De, who was touched by Lei Xiao's words, nodded heavily at first.

Then he shook his head helplessly and said: "Some time ago, after rejecting the invitations of the three princes, I thought that this would be able to keep Ge Lincheng alone, but it turned out to be a big mistake. Instead, I almost turned Ge Lincheng over. The city was the first to be dragged to the brink of war."

With a sigh, Hodder put down the teacup he had been holding and continued: "Just a few days before I accidentally entered the abandoned mine, I received an accurate tip.

The Second Prince's faction, whose sphere of influence is close to here, has deployed a large number of heavy troops in several cities near Gelin City, and is fully prepared to seize Gelin City by force. "

"The main strength of the Second Prince's faction in this area is at least 60,000, not counting the reserve troops. Whether it is the number of soldiers or the number of strong men, it far exceeds that of Gelin City, which only has a garrison of 10,000. Once the war begins, Gelin City will soon be reduced to a scorched earth."

A crisp voice sounded, and Rixia's slender eyelashes flickered on the side and added: "Moreover, the eldest prince's faction headed by Songluo City is still far away from the second prince's sphere of influence.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the second prince captures Gelin City before the eldest prince takes advantage of the situation, he can turn back the main force and form a confrontation with the eldest prince again. "

"Risha is right."

Reese took over and continued: "To be fair, Gelin City has a complete and efficient mining system and a large number of mineral resources, which is indeed enough for the second prince to take this risk and force Gelin City into his sphere of influence."

After a pause, he added: "The most important thing is that during the period when my father was missing, those elders with ulterior motives were so anxious to change Gelin City. I am afraid they were bewitched by the Second Prince and his group. "

"You two have made great progress, and your father's hard work is worthy of your efforts."

First he nodded to the Richalis siblings, and then Hodder drank up the tea in his cup.

Then he turned to Lei Xiao again and said: "Your Excellency, guest, at present, the internal fighting between the three princes and their highnesses has not developed into a large-scale war between their respective forces.

Therefore, His Highness the Second Prince still has some scruples, leaving Gelin City without worries for the time being. However, if the war breaks out, Gelin City will definitely be the first city to be devastated by the war in this cold flame eastern region. "

"I understand what Your Excellency the City Lord means."

Taking a sip of the steaming fragrant tea, Lei Xiao responded: "The geographical location of Gelin City is located behind the second prince's faction. If the second prince is going to concentrate on dealing with the eldest prince's faction, he really needs to be the first to destroy Gelin. City to maintain the stability of the rear, not to mention that Gelin City is also the capital of thousands of minerals of the Lengyan Kingdom."

With a dull smile, Lei Xiao put down his half-drunk teacup and said, "However, that was all before the attack and defense of the mountain fortress. Now the second prince's number one target in this eastern region is no longer Song. It’s Lincheng.”

"Your Excellency Keqing, the number one target you are talking about right now is the Kongqing Town under your rule, right?"

Nodding slightly, Hodder said: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, when I saw such an outstanding person suddenly appearing next to Your Highness, I immediately thought of Your Highness's current situation. Kongqing Town where we settled.”

I saw Huo De picking up the teacup that A Ling had just filled and continuing: "Kongqing Town has just had a new city lord not long ago, and there are rumors of a fifth-level strongman appearing. All these... It’s all right.”

"Since the Lord of the City has guessed my true identity, I naturally have no need to hide it anymore."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Lei Xiao, who was about to reveal his apparent identity, smiled and said, "Yes, I am the new Lord of Kong Qing City."

"Is that true? It seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess has really been helped by a young and promising expert."

Feeling the heat coming from the tea cup, Huo De pondered for a moment, and then said to Lei Xiao puzzledly: "Your Excellency, guest minister, I still have something unclear. Why did the princess risk becoming the missing person of the three princes? Risk, go to support the mountain fortress?"

"Your Majesty the City Lord has made this matter too complicated."

Nodding to Hod, Lei Xiao said: "Her Royal Highness the Princess cares about the thousands of people in Lengyan. She can't bear to see the innocent border residents being harmed by the war, and she can't bear to see the enemy's iron hoofs destroying countless villages and towns in Lengyan. , causing the children who lost their parents to be displaced, and then they took the initiative to go to the mountain fortress."

"On the border battlefield, in order to contribute her meager strength, Her Royal Highness the Princess even risked her own life to rescue a group of civilians trapped in a cave, until she personally escorted them all the way back to the mountain fortress."

With a dull smile, Lei Xiao continued: "From this point of view, Her Highness the Princess is just for the people of Leng Yan. How could she forget her original intention because she is afraid of the three princes' eager eyes?"

There is no doubt that although what Lei Xiao said is true, it is only based on Ariel's original perspective.

Of course, Lei Xiao also had his own considerations why he chose to help.

First of all, Ariel's actions undoubtedly formed a sharp contrast with the three princes who did not care about the life and death of the people.

After the fortress offensive and defensive battle, Ariel's own reputation can be greatly improved, thereby winning the favor of more neutral forces and laying a solid foundation for supporting Ariel to ascend the throne.

Secondly, if the mountain fortress falls and the Holy Night Army marches straight in.

Then, not only does it directly destroy our plan to control the eastern region of Lengyan first, but it also gives us a powerful new opponent out of thin air.

Therefore, naturally the other party cannot be allowed to succeed and must be blocked from Leng Yan's country.

In the end, it was during this process that Lei Xiao completely made Ariel realize her own powerlessness and her own strength, and then took advantage of the situation to subdue the proud Princess Leng Yan, completing an important stage goal.

As for whether Kongqing Town would become a forgotten place, Lei Xiao had already predicted it.

First, for the three princes who were far away in the royal capital, it would take a certain amount of time to obtain information, confirm the information, analyze the information, and then react. However, I just took advantage of this gap to continue to develop.

Second, after the three princes' attention is mainly focused on Kongqing Town, the surveillance of neutral forces such as Lanlen Castle, Gelin City and Luolong City will naturally be reduced, and it will be easier to Secretly, he continued to expand his sphere of influence.

All in all, no matter which angle you look at it, helping the defenders of the mountain fortress repel the attack of the Holy Night Army is a thing that has more advantages than disadvantages.

On the other side, after hearing Lei Xiao's words, Huo De's eyes suddenly showed a little more irresistible respect, and he sighed: "I'm just superficial. I didn't expect Your Excellency Ke Qing and Her Royal Highness the Princess to treat ordinary people like this." His safety is more important than his own..."

"That being said, Her Royal Highness and I are not without consideration regarding the next plan."

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "City Lord Huo De, why do you think Her Royal Highness and I spread the news that we had defeated the Holy Night Army with such great fanfare to all parts of Lengyan?"

"Your Excellency, guest, what do you mean?!"

Hearing the sound, Hod was stunned, and then said in disbelief: "Your Excellency, guest, are you planning to assist Her Royal Highness the Princess in joining the power struggle of the three princes to aspire for the throne of Lengyan?!"

"Dear City Lord, I need to correct you. We are not joining the power struggle, but we are going to end all this and make Leng Yan united and strong again."

Raising his eyebrows noncommittally, Lei Xiao said with a faint smile.

"But……"

After being stunned for a while, Hodder spoke again: "However, the power of the three princes and their royal highnesses has almost encompassed all the high-level nobles except a few wealthy families, and there are countless middle- and low-level nobles.

Moreover, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince also has the White Knight, a fifth-level powerhouse, by his side. With the power of His Highness the Princess and Kongqing Town, it is simply unimaginable to contend with them. "

"Dear City Lord, Your Highness the Princess and I are far more powerful than you imagine."

Lei Xiao continued to smile and said calmly.
