PFC Chapter 1390 Shock and Cooperation
Chapter 1390 Shock and Cooperation
In the magnificent castle banquet hall, Lei Xiao looked in the direction of the voice and a slender figure he had just seen came into his sight. It was the young queen he had just visited.
The other party was slowly walking towards the hall with the support of two dragon maids. She changed into formal clothes and had a golden crown on her forehead, representing the supreme authority of her clan.
Through Davis' introduction, Lei Xiao has learned that the other party's name is Dana, Davis's sister. In the latter's own words, she is just a child who has just had her coming-of-age ceremony and is less than two hundred years old.
This is not surprising. After all, although the lifespan of dragonborn is not as long as that of elves, it is comparable to that of half-elves and far exceeds that of humans.
This is probably one of the reasons why the human race declined rapidly after the blank era. After all, with relatively limited time for cultivation, it is indeed difficult for high-level strong people to emerge.
And since it is difficult for high-level strongmen to appear, the corresponding forging, magic craftsmanship, alchemy and other technologies will undoubtedly have serious gaps. After so many years, it is not surprising that the human race is in the situation before Lei Xiao came.
"But fortunately, my appearance changed everything."
As Lei Xiao thought so, he looked at the young Queen Dana.
There was a faint blush on her delicate face, which was no different from that of humans. Compared with her pale face, she looked much better. However, judging from the fact that she was supported by a maid, she was still extremely weak.
"It's our king! Our king has really awakened! God save our king!"
Since Davis had spread the news of Lei Xiaohao's huge investment throughout the banquet hall, the moment Dana was seen, the entire banquet hall became lively again.
All the nobles and servants present were so excited that they almost knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully to the recovered young king.
"Please stand up, everyone. I am very pleased to see your faces again."
Dana raised her hand slightly, and her elegant and calm temperament emerged.
Before she could continue speaking, Davis, who was extremely happy, immediately came forward and said, "Sister... No, my king, it's noisy here. You have just recovered a little, you should rest and recuperate. Why did you come here?"
After saying that, just when Davis was about to instruct the two maids to help Dana go back to rest, he was stopped by the latter with a wave of his hand.
"Brother Wang, the reason why I insisted on coming here is to thank our benefactor in person. Although I couldn't wake up before, I could still hear the sounds around me. Dragonborn people always repay favors."
Although Diane's clear voice still revealed weakness, there was still a hint of firmness in her words, and she nodded at Davis.
After saying this, Dana nodded and asked the two maids who supported her to stand by, and then walked straight towards Lei Xiao alone. It was obvious that the young king wanted to express his most sincere gratitude with his own strength.
Seeing the other party walking towards him tremblingly, Lei Xiao naturally would not stay where he was, but also went to meet him.
When he got closer, Dana said without hesitation, with a look of gratitude on her fair face: "Dragonborn King Dana Steel Wing, thank you for saving my life, Your Majesty!"
After saying that, Dana touched her chest and saluted, then bowed her head deeply to Lei Xiao.
However, due to her weak body, she had just finished the salute when she could no longer stand and was about to collapse to the ground.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to salute."
Lei Xiao gently helped the man steady himself, and while feeling the elegant scent of perfume, he smiled and said, "I've already said it before, since the Silver Moon Era, humans and dragonborn have been brothers who advance and retreat together. I'm just continuing this. How can I just stand by and watch when my brothers are in trouble?"
While helping the other person up, Lei Xiao further noticed that although the other person looked no different from a human, there were some faint traces of scales on his arms and chest, which were layered and quite eye-catching.
"Your Majesty's generosity and generosity are admirable. It is undoubtedly the greatest honor for me and the entire kingdom to be able to meet your Majesty and stand with him!"
Having said this, Dana obviously noticed Lei Xiao's gaze, and her cheeks became a little redder.
"You are so kind, Your Majesty. I hope you can recover soon."
Lei Xiao returned his gaze to the other person's face, still maintaining a faint smile.
Afterwards, it goes without saying how Dana, Davis and other ministers further thanked Lei Xiao. With the other party's warm hospitality, our group was well fed and drank, and gradually began to get acquainted with the other party.
Among them, Xiaojing, in particular, was obviously self-taught and joined our foodie team headed by Chaoyan, and received the latter's strong affirmation.
Although the latter has not been very active recently because his current strength is only at the fifth level and one star, if we talk about momentum at the dinner table, he is still the main force.
During the banquet, although Davis tried many times to ask Dana to go back and rest, he was rejected every time and finally had to give up.
When the banquet came to an end, Lei Xiao immediately started the second task, which was naturally a comprehensive upgrade.
Originally, Davis, who had already prepared everything, had some concerns about Lei Xiao's request. However, after Dana recovered, and with her own strong support, Davis finally put aside all his concerns and fully cooperated with Lei Xiao's actions.
Of course, this was only what happened to Lei Xiao before he was upgraded.
As the comprehensive upgrade progressed, when Dana, Davis and others walked into the upgraded equipment and treasure libraries and saw the unforgettable scenes, they realized how correct their decision was.
In just a blink of an eye, Lei Xiao increased the entire Dragon Clan's strength by more than ten times. Mountains of equipment were neatly arranged, and the brilliant colors and rich fragrance filled every corner. Dana, Davis and others felt like they were in a dream and could not believe their eyes.
Especially Dana, who had just recovered, was even supported by four maids before she could barely keep up with the pace of the group.
During this process, it goes without saying that the dragonborns were in disbelief, shock and ecstasy. Lei Xiao, who was already familiar with this kind of reaction, was completely immersed in his own world.
Despite a series of fierce battles, the Dragonborn's foundation is obviously much stronger than that of the dwarf elves and wood elves, and even the flower elves who joined at the end are inferior to them.
Although there were no sixth-tier items, what made Lei Xiao most happy was that there were five fifth-tier magic potions that could be used to permanently increase strength during advancement, as well as five permanent strength potions that could only be upgraded.
This undoubtedly means that after the upgrade, we will have 5 precious opportunities to advance to level 70, and allow more than level warriors to soar from level one star to level nine stars.
For the weak human race, this will undoubtedly be a big step forward!
"Now, the three first five-level masters who joined my team are also the three main subordinates with the most outstanding achievements. Hong Ye has successfully broken through the shackles and reached the sixth level. The only ones left are Hu Zhang and Jiang Xi. They are naturally the first choice to advance to the sixth level."
"Especially Jiang Xi. I once promised her that I would let her get another chance to advance after failing once, and I would make all the preparations for her to advance. This time it's time to fulfill my promise."
"Let's give another chance to Louise. This girl's strength has reached the half-step sixth level, and she has made many contributions to me. Compared with the peak fifth-level strongmen, her advancement will be smoother."
Thinking of this in his heart, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
As for the last two chances, they will naturally be left to myself, who is currently at the peak of the double fifth level.
As long as they can go one step further, whether it is the power of God's favor or the three-piece set of sixth-level equipment of the ancient human race, it will undoubtedly be able to exert greater power.
As for those fifth-level star-upgrading potions, they can also allow Chaoyan, Nanxing, Nanyue and other fifth-level one-star main subordinates to quickly reach the peak of the fifth level and further enhance their own strength.
Lei Xiao thought so while continuing to upgrade.
After that, Lei Xiao successively got more than 50 places to advance to the fifth-level strongman, as well as more opportunities to advance to the fourth-level and third-level elite soldiers.
This is enough to give the human race 20 more third-level legions, reaching a whole new height again.
"Yes, this way, I will be able to use my troops more easily in the future."
Lei Xiao snapped his fingers lightly and thought so in his heart.
In addition to this, he also obtained a large number of other high-level potions, equipment, magic scrolls and other items. Needless to say, he kept more than ten times as usual, and also replaced all the sixth-level dragon-born warriors such as Dana and Davis with a full set of sixth-level equipment.
Under everyone's disbelieving and stunned gazes, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction when he walked out of the last warehouse.
Just now, he had obtained a fifth-level permanent strength-increasing potion formula through an upgrade, which would undoubtedly allow him to produce this extremely rare resource in a stable manner!
After all, even these magic potions of the Dragonborn were obtained through the Shadow Market, and he did not have the ability to refine them himself.
"Although according to Joniel, even he would need about a week to refine this extremely precious and complex potion, it is still an extremely stable source of supply, and its significance to us is self-evident!"
"I have to say, this time we have gained a lot. It can be said to be a leap forward!"
"By the way, there's one more thing."
Lei Xiao turned his palm upward, and a peculiarly shaped silver metal cup appeared.
The appearance of the metal cup was a lifelike giant dragon's head, which looked extremely delicate. This was exactly the one that the Pelican Princess Fei'er had given it.
"According to Fei'er, in the Silver Moon Era, this was given to her by a chosen son of the Dragonborn God in gratitude for saving her life."
"According to the Chosen One, this is an extremely precious item among the Dragonborn, but its specific purpose is unclear."
"Originally, I was planning to use this as a breakthrough point to make the other party bow down at my feet. Since it is not used, I might as well just take it out directly."
Lei Xiao thought so, and under the curious gazes of Dana, Davis and others, he described the origin of the metal cup.
"Pelican Princess Fei'er? This is a noble name that often appears in the few tattered ancient books we have."
Dana's starry eyes were filled with surprise, and she said, "It seems that His Majesty the Human Race is indeed extraordinary!"
"It was just a chance encounter with her, it's no big deal."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, handed the metal cup to the other party, and said with a smile: "Take it quickly."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will be honored to receive your gift."
Dana took the metal cup, but a look of confusion appeared on her fair face. It was obvious that she didn't know what this thing was used for.
"From the perspective of craftsmanship and patterns, this is indeed the work of our ancestors."
Davis nodded thoughtfully, then looked at the old dragon minister and said, "But what is this used for?"
"Your Highness, this is also a question that this old minister is confused about."
The old minister's dragon face was full of confusion. After looking left and right, he shook his head helplessly and said, "There is no aura of magic on it, nor are there any magic runes engraved on it. There is also no information on the remaining ancient books."
After the old minister finished speaking, everyone else present also looked puzzled.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, for failing to live up to your kindness and that of Her Royal Highness Princess Pelican. We don't even know the function of this item."
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Dana's fair face, and she said awkwardly.
"It doesn't matter. After all, too many things were lost during the blank era. This is something that can't be helped."
Lei Xiao took another step forward and said with a smile: "Perhaps it won't be long before we can find some clues."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement and quickly followed Lei Xiao's steps.
As for the last item, it is to discuss comprehensive cooperation and the establishment of portals with the Dragonborn.
Although they are unable to make fifth-level alchemy potions that permanently enhance strength, Dragonborn are indeed quite good at alchemy, especially potions. This complements the dwarf elves who are good at alchemy puppets, and will also be a significant improvement for the human race.
In addition, as usual, Lei Xiao was also involved in various fields such as trade, culture, and even travel, and they communicated with each other.
In other words, no matter which cooperation it is, it not only means that the human race will acquire more knowledge and skills, but also represents that the human race will truly step into the outside world and integrate into this vast world.
"As for the details, I will send the corresponding ministers and diplomats to gradually improve them."
After finalizing the general outline, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
These details are assisted by subordinates who are good at government affairs, such as Or, Ed, and Tran, so naturally, I don't need to worry about them myself.
After hearing Lei Xiao's words, Dana, Davis and others all nodded in agreement without any objection. They were obviously still immersed in the joy of their greatly increased foundation.
"Very good, then it's time to solve the next problem."
Lei Xiao stood up from his seat, his eyes sparkling. (End of this chapter)
