Translator: 549690339
Under the two scorching suns in the sky, beneath the white snow-covered peaks of the Hundred Ranges, there sits a town that leans against the mountains and is yet full of scars.
This town is, of course, Magnet Town, where Lei Xiao and the others are currently located.
At the depths of Magnet Town exists a massive mine.
And this is where the Lord of Magnet City resides.
In the sunlight, two small fortresses standing about five or six meters high could be seen on both sides of the mine entrance.
In the middle is a wide, several-meter-deep trench, with a huge metal drawbridge separating the entrance to the mine from the outside world.
“A few years ago, they moved out of the City Lord Mansion in the city center and relocated here?”
Looking at the alternative City Lord Mansion in front of him, resembling a mountain fortress, Lei Xiao’s eyes narrowed, and he muttered to himself, “The final secret of this city is about to be revealed in front of me.”
Just as Lei Xiao thought of this.
Whala whala.
A clear sound of iron chains rubbing against each other emerged, and the giant drawbridge in front of them began to slowly descend.
Boom.
With a muffled sound, the giant drawbridge landed on the ground, and the road to the City Lord Mansion was revealed amid the rising dust.
“Reporting to Lord, the last few mine defense squadrons stationed in the City Lord Mansion have also been cleared.”
Immediately after, Taylor’s burly figure appeared before Leo Ray with a sudden flash.
“Is this the last part?”
Upon hearing this, and receiving Taylor’s affirmative response, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.
At this point, the two mine defense teams, who had run rampant for many years, were completely wiped out from Magnet Town by them.
A moment later, the brothers Nathaniel and Ned arrived at Lei Xiao’s side.
“Lord, aside from this mine City Lord Mansion, the entire Magnet Town is now entirely in our hands!”
Seeing Nathaniel, who was now the commander of the Magnet Town Defense Army, with a face full of excitement, he bowed and said.
“Lord, all the residents of the city have been temporarily evacuated from the mining area, and as ordered by Lord, the large amount of food and supplies obtained from the mine defense team’s headquarters have been distributed methodically to the residents of Magnet Town.”
Ned, who serves as the deputy commander, also stepped forwards with a similarly delighted expression, bowing and saying, “In addition, the residents who moved from Cyan Town have also received enough food and supplies and are preparing to move back to Cyan Town.”
“Very good, distribute whatever we have, and I’ll acquire more from other cities later.”
Lei Xiao nodded slightly in response.
From the briefing by Ned, deputy city lord, Lei Xiao learned that in addition to the currently large-scale Blazing Crystal mining, Magnet Town had discovered several other potential mine sites over these years.
However, due to the Lord of Magnet City’s obsession with Blazing Crystals, those possible mine sites had not been thoroughly investigated.
From this, it could be seen that this mining town undoubtedly holds massive potential for further exploitation.
“For now, restore the normal operation of the town and resume orderly mining. With my strong financial support, this will be effortless. Perhaps those suspected mine sites will bring me more surprises.”
Lei Xiao pondered to himself at this moment, “After all, compared to malnourished and spiritless residents, residents with abundant energy would have much higher mining efficiency.”
Taking a deep breath of the damp air coming from the entrance of the mine, Lei Xiao continued to think, “All in all, this is necessary in terms of future development or other aspects. To achieve this goal, I just need to spend a lot of Gold Dragons.”
“And that’s exactly what I have most of, having Linda sell a few Tier 3 Magic Medicines or Tier 4 Equipment later would be enough to turn this devastated city into a bustling mining city on par with the Golin City.”
At this thought, Lei Xiao revived his spirits.
Then, addressing his various subordinates around him, he said, “Alright, everyone, sharpen your spirits. Let’s take a good look at what kind of purpose lies behind the Lord of Magnet City’s reckless actions.”
“At your command! My Lord!”
On the other side, the subordinates bowed and saluted, clasping their fists in unison.
Next, accompanied by his subordinates, Lei Xiao entered the vast mine by following the straight minecart track extending from the entrance. He noticed a dim illumination from tiny Light Crystal Stones embedded in the walls every few meters.
At a glance, the scattered lights inside the tunnel resembled the stars in the night sky.
However, under the night vision effects of Star Pupil, there was no hindrance to Lei Xiao.
Moreover, the subordinates had already taken out Light Crystal Stones, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.
“My Lord, the hall ahead is where we will meet with the Lord of Magnet City.”
After walking seven or eight minutes, Nathaniel, who was leading the way, turned around, and respectfully addressed Lei Xiao.
“Very good.”
Gazing at the surroundings that were almost indistinguishable from ordinary mines, Lei Xiao hinted for his subordinates to be ready for battle while responding.
Thus, they continued forward, following the minecart tracks
