Chapter 96: Arrival of an Old Friend
And also red ironwood.
The origin of the red ironwood was a little far away. On the other side was Region 0023. In the middle was Region 0033. In a straight line, the distance was about 300 kiloters. If they fought all the way, they would have to cross at least 400 to 500 kiloters.
Li Xiang pinched his chin.
“Although the price of the red ironwood is not as expensive as the inferno iron, it is not cheap either. However, in order to refine the Purgatory Divine Crossbow as soon as possible, we can buy so first. This thing is not as rare as the inferno iron.”
“Oh right, we can also place an order in our own trading area. The price might be cheaper.”
Li Xiang had an idea in his mind and imdiately issued the order.
Not only red ironwood but the purchase information for inferno iron was also released. It was just that the price was relatively low. If he could receive it, he would receive it. If he could not receive it, he would wait to attack Region 0032 and collect it himself.
As soon as the information was released, there was an imdiate reaction in the Demon Country’s trading area.
Most of the people in the trading area were no longer the agents of the other country lords but the agents of the various lords under the command of Demon Country. In essence, they could already be considered rchants of the Demon Country.
However, whether it was red ironwood or inferno iron, they were both considered scarce resources in Region 0042, so Li Xiang didn’t have much hope.
...
But what he didn’t expect was that not long after, news ca that soone had a large amount of red ironwood and a small amount of inferno iron, and the person wanted to talk to the country lord in person.
Li Xiang’s eyes flickered.
To be able to bring out such a large amount of resources, and be willing to trade them, was probably not as simple as just wanting to make money.
But he still had to see them. He could see who the other party was and what their purpose was.
“Bring that person here!”
Not long after, a rchant wearing a hood ca into the hall. But judging from the slim figure, he knew that it was a woman.
After standing still, the woman took off her hood and looked up slightly.
When Li Xiang saw the appearance of the person, he was suddenly stunned.
“You are… Ning Xiaoyue?”
A surprised smile appeared on Ning Xiaoyue’s face, and her voice was full of joy. “Ah! Li Xiang, you are really the Demon Country Lord!”
Li Xiang ca down from his throne and said in surprise, “Why did you co here? Is your country nearby?”
Ning Xiaoyue was Li Xiang’s classmate in university. She was lively and active and was considered the happiest person in the class. She was very popular with people.
Unexpectedly, after crossing over to the Myriad World, everyone had already spread out, and they could actually et again.
This was the first acquaintance that Li Xiang had t.
The relationship between the two could not be considered very good, but Ning Xiaoyue had indeed given him a lot of help, enough to be called a friend.
Ning Xiaoyue said, “My country is in Region 0025. I heard your na on the world channel, so I brought a caravan all the way here.”
Li Xiang was stunned for a mont and asked suspiciously, “Really?”
Ning Xiaoyue chuckled and said, “Of course it’s fake! You’re not my friend. Why should I co all the way here to see you?”
Li Xiang blinked and asked, “Do you have red ironwood and inferno iron?”
Ning Xiaoyue nodded and said, “My country has a large forest of red ironwood. Do you think I have it? As for inferno iron, I bought it on the way and killed so monsters to get it.”
Li Xiang sighed and said, “Then aren’t you being a little too ambitious? Now is the critical mont of the regional war, and you actually left your country and ca all the way here to do business? Do you think I believe your words?”
Beside him, Succubus Alice also blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked curiously at Ning Xiaoyue with a smile on the corner of her mouth.
When she received the news, she had already inquired about this person’s background. She had originally planned to report it later, but now it seed that there was no need for that.
“Country Lord, I’ve just received news that Region 0025 seems to be under attack by a force called the Wild Wolf Alliance, and many countries have already fallen. This ti, she’s probably here to look for assistance!”
Li Xiang turned to look at Ning Xiaoyue, who had an unnatural expression, and asked, “Is this true?”
Ning Xiaoyue glanced at Succubus Alice, and she said with so dejection, “I’ve brought almost all my assets with this ti. I thought that if you really are Li Xiang, no matter what, for the sake of being old classmates, you would take in.”
Li Xiang’s expression beca a little serious, but his tone was still calm. He asked, “That so-called Wild Wolf Alliance is very strong? Didn’t the people of your region join forces to resist?”
Ning Xiaoyue said angrily, “Of course, they wanted to join forces to resist, but there were three of them who were the strongest, but they had different opinions. They discussed all kinds of things and hesitated. In the end, the entire region fell by one-third before they slowly sent out their troops. In the end, they were beaten down by the Wild Wolf Alliance and fled in a sorry state. As soon as I saw that the situation was not good, I quickly took my family assets and prepared to escape.”
Li Xiang laughed, “You really trust !”
“No matter what, you can kill and steal my things?”
Li Xiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at Ning Xiaoyue’s quick-witted style.
“Alright, then you can stay here for now. I’ll do so research, and maybe I can help you take back your holand. Oh, right, I’ll take your inferno iron and red ironwood according to the market price.”
“No need, I’ll give them all to you. Since you need them, I’ll give them to you whether you help or not. Anyway, it’s not like I can’t survive.”
Li Xiang looked at the carefree Ning Xiaoyue and shook his head helplessly. He didn’t refuse and waved to Alice. “Alright, let’s do as she says! Xiaoyue, you can stay here for the ti being! By the way, where’s your army?”
Ning Xiaoyue gritted her teeth and said, “When we were resisting the Wild Wolf Alliance, I sent most of my army there. Without the lips, the teeth will feel cold! Who knew that these people would be so disappointing, causing our army to lose more than half of our forces. However, I found a valley with a large number of purgatory creatures in Region 0032. There was no one around to eliminate them, so I left them near there. They were led by a hero unit. There won’t be any problems.”
Li Xiang was truly speechless. How was this girl so ambitious that she left her own army there? To be able to survive until now was definitely a blessing from the system.
“What’s with that expression of yours? Didn’t I have no other choice? It’s already not easy to find a place for the army to stay.”
“Okay, okay, okay! You should quickly go and rest!”
“Mhm! Oh right, you have to be careful. When I ca over, I found that many of the country lords in Region 0032 had joined forces. They said that they wanted to boycott the Demon Country and cut off trade routes.”
“Mhm, I got it!”
After Ning Xiaoyue said that, a smile appeared on her face again. She turned around and left with Alice.
Not long after, Alice returned.
“Country Lord, I’ve arranged for Country Lord Ning to stay in a manor in the VIP area.”
“Okay!” Li Xiang nodded. “How much do you know about Region 0025?”
“Country Lord, I know about the information of Region 0025 from the rchants in the trading area. After all, it’s too far away, and there’s not much information. I’ve told you everything.”
