Chapter 579: The Lord and the Lord of Songlin

"Your Excellency Ke Qing, despite your orders, in order to repay the kindness of Your Highness the Princess and Your Excellency Ke Qing, I will definitely do my best and die!"

Huo De, with a serious expression, said, and gave a standard chest salute to 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. All of this is just the beginning."

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

All of a sudden, bursts of refreshing fragrance burst out of the brocade box and quickly spread in the air.

"Could it be that this strong and strange fragrance is all Tier 3 potion?"

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

In front of him, these potions whose total value easily exceeded the eight-figure golden dragon appeared together at the same time, even if he was sitting in the city of Song Lincheng, he had never seen it in his life!

As a Tier 4 powerhouse, Huo De clearly understood.

Different from potions that permanently increase strength, healing potions can achieve amazing effects even if they are used across levels.

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

As a result, the healing potion, which can be called a life-saving artifact, is the same as the potion for permanently increasing strength. equipment.

No anti-theft novel network

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

"Third-tier healing potions are priceless in many cases, and they are sought-after items at auctions. They are no longer precious items that can be bought casually."

Looking at the ten potions surrounded by strange fragrances in front of him, Huo De continued to think in his heart while being amazed.

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

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

"It can be called a miraculous effect, coupled with limited production, this is the so-called rarity, right?"

Thinking of this, Huo De refocused his attention on the ten third-order potions neatly arranged in front of him, and asked tentatively: "Your Excellency, are these... all given to me?"

"exactly."

Lei Xiao nodded, and responded: "These are all orange and white who are the generals of the kingdom and are also strong in the fourth-order healing system. They are specially selected and matched according to your injuries, and they are enough for you to quickly recover in a short period of time." back to its original state."

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

Hearing the sound, Huo De's pale face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he was grateful.

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

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

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

Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao signaled Huo De to take a seat beside him, and at the same time said: "Okay, this kind of trivial matter is not worth mentioning. Next, let's talk about the second matter."

Lei Xiao first signaled to the two maids, A Ling and A Bing, to serve tea, and then said, "However, before that, I have some new news to share with Your Excellency the City Lord."

After taking the teacup respectfully handed over by Ah Bing, Lei Xiao sniffed the refreshing tea fragrance lightly, and continued: "That's about the mountain fortress..."

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

Feeling the scorching heat coming from the teacup, Huo De pondered for a while, and then said to Lei Xiao in a puzzled way: "Your Majesty, there is still one thing I don't understand, why does Your Highness the Princess risk becoming the loser of the three princes?" Risk, go to support the mountain fortress?"

"Your Excellency, the city lord, thinks this matter is too complicated."

Nodding to Huo De, Lei Xiao said: "His Royal Highness cares about thousands of people, and I can't bear to see the innocent border people being devastated by the flames of war, and I can't bear to see the enemy's iron hooves, trampling down countless villages and towns." , causing the children who lost their parents to be displaced, so they will take the initiative to go to the mountain fortress."

"On the frontier battlefield, in order to contribute her meager strength, Her Royal Highness even did not hesitate to take risks alone, but also to save a group of civilians trapped in the cave, until she personally escorted them all the way back to the mountain fortress."

With a faint smile, Lei Xiao continued: "Thus, Her Royal Highness is only for Leng Yan's people, how can she forget her original intention because she is afraid of the three princes staring at her like a tiger?"

Undoubtedly, although what Lei Xiao said was true, it was only based on Ariel's initial perspective.

The reason why Lei Xiao chose to help, of course, has his own considerations.

First of all, Ariel's actions undoubtedly formed a stark contrast with those three princes who disregarded the life and death of the people.

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

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

Then, not only would it directly destroy their plan to first control Lengyan's eastern region, but it would also allow them to have a powerful new opponent out of thin air.

Therefore, naturally, the opponent cannot be allowed to succeed, and must be kept out of Leng Yan's country.

In the end, it was during this process that Lei Xiao completely made Ariel aware of her own powerlessness and her own strength, and took advantage of the situation to subdue the proud Princess Lengyan, completing the important staged goal.

As for whether Kongqing Town would be the one to lose, Lei Xiao had already expected it.

First, the three princes who are far away in the royal capital must take a certain amount of time from obtaining information, confirming information, analyzing information, and then responding, and I just take advantage of this gap to continue to develop.

Second, after the attention of the three princes is all focused on Kongqing Town, the monitoring of neutral forces such as Lan Lengbao, Songlin City and Luolong City will naturally be reduced, and it will be easier Secretly, he continued to expand his sphere of influence.

All in all ~ No matter from which point of view, helping the defenders of the mountain fortress to repel the attack of the holy night army is a matter of more advantages than disadvantages.

On the other side, after hearing Lei Xiao's words, Huo De's eyes suddenly showed a little more irrepressible respect, and he sighed: "It's superficial, I didn't expect Your Excellency Ke Qing and Your Highness the Princess to treat ordinary people like you." Your safety is more important than yourself..."

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

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao continued: "Master Huo De, what do you think Her Royal Highness and I are doing so much to spread the news that we repelled the Holy Night Army to all over Leng Yan? What is the reason?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?!"

Hearing the ~ Huode was stunned for a moment, and then said incredulously: "Your Excellency, are you going to assist Her Royal Highness, join the power struggle of the three princes, and aspire to the throne of Lengyan?!"

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

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

"But"

After being dazed again for a while, Huo De spoke again: "However, the power of the three princes has almost taken over all the high-level nobles except for a few big families, and there are countless middle- and low-level nobles.

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

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

Seeing that Lei Xiao continued to maintain a smile, he said calmly.
