Chapter 764 The Princess' Gift

Looking at Lei Xiao's surprised appearance, Ariel seemed very embarrassed, she lowered her head halfway, and murmured: "My lord, I want to thank you again in person."

"If it weren't for your help, the subordinates would have died in the mountain fortress, and this vast area has already been ravaged by the holy night army."

"Where can subordinates see today's victory banquet? Where can they enjoy the joy of victory with so many colleagues?"

Seeing the gratitude on Ariel's fair face was beyond words, she continued to speak sincerely.

"In the end, my subordinate was just a desperate princess at the beginning, but the lord not only tolerated his arrogance and self-willedness, but also tried his best to help his subordinate to aspire to the throne, and realized his ideal step by step, even at the expense of committing suicide. risk"

Ariel's slender shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably, and she lowered her head again: "I really don't know, what words can describe my gratitude now!"

"Ariel, your thanks are almost making my ears callous."

After a moment of astonishment, Lei Xiao's face calmed down again, and as he stepped forward, he smiled and said, "I've already told you that while helping you, I'm also helping myself, it's no big deal .

"I need someone to help me stabilize the rear, so that I can run to the sea of stars in this magical world without any worries, to unravel the reason for the arrival of a billion lords, and to unravel the many unsolved mysteries of the blank era."

Lei Xiao had already walked in front of Ariel, and a scent of perfume that was elegant yet exuded nobility and grace flooded into Lei Xiao's nostrils.

"And you, Ariel, just happened to appear at the right place at the right time, so all of this is just the thread of fate that connects us together, that's all."

After speaking, Lei Xiao couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

The fifth princess of Lengyan, known as the eldest lady among the eldest ladies, the most beloved youngest daughter of the old king, and sought after by countless nobles and commoners, would stand on her own with such a low profile like a bird. in front of.

This alone is enough to make countless nobles and commoners jealous and crazy, right?Updated chapters at novelhall.com

You know, this is a royal princess who has received the top elite education and is the dream lover of countless men, but is far out of reach.

And before he crossed over, he was just an insignificant employee of a small company, struggling for his livelihood every day.

While sighing in his heart, Lei Xiao's eyes refocused on Ariel's exquisite figure, and he still kept smiling and said, "What makes me even more gratified is that you have never let down my training for you, so Ariel Li'er, I didn't see the wrong person, you are indeed the most suitable one."

"My lord, you, you are absurd!"

Hearing Lei Xiao's somewhat ambiguous words, Ariel's ears were already blushing, and she didn't dare to look directly into Lei Xiao's eyes, but lowered her head and said, "This subordinate will definitely continue to work hard , become what the lord expects in his heart!"

Speaking of this, Ariel's starry eyes flashed, and she seemed to think of something, her heart moved slightly, and a thick red sweater appeared on her slender hand.

I saw Ariel blushing, handing over the sweater with both hands respectfully, and falteringly said: "My lord, it will be autumn soon, this subordinate knits it by myself in my spare time, it is a part of my subordinate's work." It's a small thought, I hope the lord will like it!"

After receiving the red sweater from Ariel, Lei Xiao couldn't help being stunned again as he felt the soft touch of the sweater.

One of the hobbies of this Princess Leng Yan is knitting sweaters, and Lei Xiao knew it well before she conquered her.

But what Lei Xiao didn't expect was that this girl would knit one for herself!

You know, this is something that has never happened to Lei Xiao who grew up in an orphanage.

Besides, during this period of time, I have been running around with Ariel and other subordinates. This girl must have used the limited rest time to weave in a hurry.

Surprised, Lei Xiao looked at the thick sweater in his hand, and a warm current surged into his heart instantly.

"My lord, this sweater was woven by my subordinates secretly observing the figure of my lord. I don't know if it fits well..."

Seeing that Lei Xiao didn't speak, Ariel, who thought Lei Xiao was dissatisfied, quickly blinked her slender eyelashes, and added: "If it's not suitable, the subordinates hurry up and change it, and the lord will be satisfied." !"

"Ariel, I am already very satisfied. Your precious kindness is enough for me to remember it forever."

Lei Xiao smiled lightly, and with a light wave of his hand, the fifth-grade leather armor on his body was instantly included in the storage bracelet, and the red sweater in his hand also appeared on the tall and straight body through the storage bracelet.

True to size, true to size.

Lei Xiao briefly moved his body, nodded slightly and said: "It's very suitable, it seems that I have to cherish this sweater."

"At this stage, the location of the territory has been completely exposed. With more elite soldiers guarding the territory, I can naturally go out to do business and explore with more confidence."

When he came to the storage wooden box, Lei Xiao immediately started to disassemble it.

In the end, 12,000 units of diamond ingots were easily obtained.

"The required resources are all in place, and my mansion can finally be upgraded!"

Lei Xiao rubbed his hands excitedly, and then contacted Su Ru, Su Mo and other lords to go through the reverse process.

As for the matter of receiving the recruitment order, according to past experience, it is natural to wait until the mansion is upgraded.

Afterwards, Lei Xiao easily picked up the wooden storage box, left the office with strides, followed the spiral staircase all the way to the mansion hall on the first floor.

The resources needed to upgrade the mansion this time are 1 million units of stone, 200,000 units of wood, 200,000 units of thatch, 30,000 units of iron ingots, 30,000 units of copper ingots, and 10,000 units of refined steel ingots.

The most convenient way is to move the storage wooden box outside first, and then take out the huge resources needed.

"See Lord Lord!"

Seeing Lei Xiao, the old butler Ward and the maids who had been waiting here immediately bowed to salute.

Immediately afterwards, two of the maids hurried forward and respectfully took the wooden storage box carried by Lei Xiao on his shoulders.

"You don't need to be too polite, just move the box not far from the entrance of the mansion."

Lei Xiao listened to the name of the dishes reported by the old housekeeper, nodded and said: "Ward, tell the others who are still in the mansion to leave, I will start to further upgrade this place."

"Obey, my lord!"

The old butler stroked his chest and saluted, then went to work in a hurry.

As for Lei Xiao, surrounded by the maids, he strode out of the gate of the lord's mansion.

While waiting for a while, Lei Xiao leaned on the burly body of a guardian of the earth, and nodded thoughtfully.

The first thing to do after the mansion has been upgraded will mean that it has an additional population of 2,000. With the territory already saturated, it is necessary to start expanding to the periphery immediately.

"According to the city construction plan I made, with the current territory as the inner city, a total of three layers will be spread outward."

"Around the inner city, first there is a large defensive belt composed of barracks, then there are various buildings directly under the lord's mansion, such as urban management, alchemist research institute and other functional buildings, and finally ordinary residents and soldiers who have families and start businesses Our residential area and commercial area, and the outermost part is the outer city wall of the territory."

"As for the specific urban planning map, I have handed over to the old housekeeper Ward to lead the drawing. Before the specific planning map comes out, I will build a circle of barracks around the city wall according to the predetermined plan. It happens that the surrounding forest is in the In the territorial offensive and defensive battle, they have already been razed to the ground."

As Lei Xiao thought about it, he noticed it.

The main subordinates living in the mansion soon came out in twos and threes, including Ariel.

The ears of this Princess Lengyan were red, and her starry eyes were flickering. It seemed that she still had a fresh memory of what she had learned deeply.

"Perhaps it's time to consider moving this girl's place up one floor."

Lei Xiao raised his ~ and smiled lightly.

Not long after, when the mansion was empty, Lei Xiao couldn't wait to open the property interface of the mansion, and pressed the upgrade button at the bottom.

The familiar and sweet reminder sounded in Lei Xiao's ears immediately.

[You have consumed stone x1000000, wood x200000, thatch x200000, iron ingot x30000, copper ingot x30000, fine steel ingot x10000]

[The lord's mansion is being upgraded to Lv8, please wait...]

Looking up at the huge light curtain that suddenly rose in front of him, Lei Xiao quietly watched with an expression of anticipation.

And the surrounding subordinates even let out continuous admiration. No matter how many times they have seen this miraculous picture, everyone is still excited.

This undoubtedly means that waves of newborn power will soon appear in front of everyone through the call of the lord!
