Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong

Chapter 16: In the Dense Forest_1

Following that, Leo Ray immediately started mass-producing Crude Logging Axes and Crude Sickles.

Due to the proportion of quality change and quantity change, it was about half and half.

And the resources required for the next upgrade were 500 units of Iron Ore and 500 units of Copper Ore.

Therefore, Leo Ray decided to set the production quantity of logging axes and sickles to 1,200 each.

In this way, after the quality change and decomposition, upgrading requirements would be met regardless of the circumstances.

"The current production speed of the Tier 3 Lord's Mansion magic array is 5 pieces per minute.

So, it will take about 8 hours to start upgrading to the Tier 4 Lord's Mansion..."

Thinking of this, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction.

At the moment, when other people are facing extreme shortages of first-class resources.

He has already taken a big step forward and solved the problem of second-class resources.

Although the time spent was slightly longer compared to before.

However, considering the efficiency of general stone gathering.

Even if farmers are directly sent to mine ore veins, this speed would not be achievable.

Furthermore, after decomposition of quantity changed tools, a hundred times more basic resources could be obtained than before manufacturing.

Therefore, this method is obviously a win-win deal.

Just as Leo Ray was delightfully thinking about this, two shadowy figures suddenly appeared in front of him like ghosts, startling him instantly.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Serena and Stella Clark.

"Reporting to Lord, my sister and I just noticed faint energy fluctuations not far away when observing the terrain at the entrance of the Safety Zone, which seems like there was a fight happening.

Furthermore, these energy fluctuations are very weak, and it's definitely not Senior Taylor."

Serena solemnly reported, and Stella nodded in agreement.

"You mean there are other people near our territory?" Hearing this, Leo Ray immediately became alert and asked.

"Yes, it's up to Lord to decide how to act!" Serena said with a fist salute.

"I was planning to take a trip outside the Safety Zone. Let's go check it out, then." After some consideration, Leo Ray responded.

At this stage, although he's just an ordinary person, the loyal Serena and Stella were both Tier 3 powerhouses with extreme proficiency; they could easily take on a hundred opponents without breaking a sweat.

Moreover, according to Taylor's words before leaving, if this telepathic pair of twins worked together, even Tier 4 powerhouses could be taken on.

Therefore, with the protection of the two sisters, facing the surrounding Tier 2 magical beasts and weak energy fluctuations would certainly be more than sufficient.

With that decision made, Leo Ray ordered Gavin Sullivan and others to stay at home nearby, and then led the twin sisters straight out of the Safety Zone, heading towards the unknown incident location at a fast pace.

Meanwhile, about one kilometer away in the dense forest south-west of the territory.

A young female swordsman clad in leather armor and wielding an iron sword, and a portly middle-aged man, were advancing through the trees one after the other.

As the scene zoomed in, the exhausted female swordsman appeared to have a variety of deep and shallow injuries on her body.

After being hastily bandaged, blood was still seeping out, which indicated that she had just gone through more than one fierce battle not long ago.

As for the chubby middle-aged man, he looked equally miserable even though he was uninjured. His brocade robes had almost turned into tattered strips, and he kept muttering something under his breath.

"Damn it, what's the use of hiring you useless people? Now my goods are lost, and if I'm not careful, even my life might be thrown in! It's so unlucky!"

On the other side, the injured young female swordsman remained silent and continued to lead the way.

Her name was Hannah Shawn, a mercenary currently on a mission to protect a merchant.

At dawn, during an encounter with a Tier 2 Magical Beast, Hannah lost seven companions, and her eight-member mercenary escort team was left with only her.

The carriage carrying the merchant's goods had also disappeared during the fight.

So, facing the merchant's constant criticism and ridicule, although she felt immense pain, she had no choice but to silently endure it.

After all, as a mercenary, putting the employer's life at risk is indeed an unforgivable dereliction of duty.

Just as the two had not progressed far due to the slow movement of the merchant.

Suddenly, a large object rolled down from a tree in front of them, landing right between the two.

"Protect me! Hurry!"

Seeing the frightening dark shadow that had fallen, the defenseless merchant was terrified and almost fainted on the spot.

"Tier 1 Eight-Star Magical Beast, Black Steel Spider?"

On the other side, Hannah immediately stepped in front of the merchant, raising her longsword without any hesitation.

She was a Tier 1 Seven-Star Swordsman, and the other party undoubtedly had a higher level of strength.

The crucial point was that, as the name implies, the outer shell of this giant spider was even harder than some Tier 2 magical beasts and was extremely difficult to defeat.

However, upon closer inspection, she discovered an inconspicuous arrow hole pierced through the spider's head, indicating that it had already been killed with a single shot.

"Wow, it must be at least a Tier 2...no, a Tier 3 crossbow that can cause this kind of damage!"

Thinking of this, Hannah couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

For her, a Tier 3 weapon was an absolutely unattainable existence.

To put it in perspective, even the well-renowned leader of their mercenary group only used a Tier 2 weapon.

Furthermore, such a high degree of precision in shooting was extremely rare.

It seemed that the other party must be a remarkably formidable powerhouse!

However, her thoughts turned, and she got a shiver down her spine again.

Undoubtedly, if the spider had not been shot just now, she and her employer might have already become its breakfast.

Just then, the bushes nearby slightly moved, attracting Hannah's attention once more.

Following that, a young man with powerful blades at his waist, and a short-haired girl holding a strong crossbow and wearing black tight-fitting clothes appeared in front of her.

Without question, it was Leo Ray and Serena who had arrived.

As for the spider, it was shot down by Serena after obtaining Leo Ray's permission.

Regarding Stella, Leo Ray had commanded her to hide in the shadows and serve as their trump card, preventing any unexpected situations.

On the other side, seeing the marvelous weapon glowing in Serena's hand, Hannah licked her cracked lips and wanted to step forward to express her gratitude, but the merchant who had been immobilized on the ground just now had already run to them with a full face of smiles.

Although he was just a merchant, he could still see that these newcomers were extraordinary!

If he didn't hold on tightly to these strong saviors who had come to his rescue, then when would he?
