Master Maga glanced at it and smiled.
"Lords are all a bunch of bandits, that's why I say I hate lords, especially nobles!"
The young apprentice suddenly exclaimed angrily, "Master, if it weren't for those lords of the duchy stealing your..."
"Bang!"
A thin fist slammed into the young apprentice's head. Master Maga gestured for the brat to shut up, as the cunning fox would hear him.
He planned to enter the city and demonstrate his basic armor-making skills, but not too advancedly, in order to test the lord's character and see if he was as despicable as the person who stole his work.
"uncle?"
Just as the two were about to enter this unfamiliar city, a joyful voice rang out, clearly directed at them, which startled them.
The next instant, a mature woman draped in a magic robe appeared before the two. Her delicate and charming face made the young apprentice's eyes light up, as if he were about to be blessed with good fortune.
Natasha was dressed as usual, her long, wine-red hair cascading down to her waist, which couldn't hide her slender figure. Her beautiful red eyes sparkled, giving her the charm of a beautiful young woman.
"Beautiful lady, hello. I am Master's chief apprentice, my name is Jimmy, I am 24 years old and unmarried..."
"Bang!"
Before the young apprentice could finish speaking enthusiastically, Master Maga, who could no longer bear it, delivered another powerful blow with his hammer.
Idiot, why is it that I, a grandmaster-level armor maker, have an apprentice who is a complete idiot who didn't pay the "stupidity tax"?
Seriously, how the hell did I ever fall for him in the first place?
Taking money and using connections?!
"Uncle, your temper is still the same. It's been fifteen years since we last met."
Natasha smiled sweetly. She had a high level of magical perception and, given that the two figures were quite distinctive, she quickly recognized them.
“Yes, Natasha, although it has been fifteen years, your red hair, like freshly made wine, is exactly the same as that of the Lafite family.”
Master Ma Jia nodded, looking at his now mature niece with a nostalgic expression, and smiled.
But soon, he couldn't help but dissuade him, saying, "Since you left home fifteen years ago, your family has missed you terribly all these years."
"Ah, ma'am, let me tell you how your master has managed these past ten years or so..."
"Shut up!"
Jimmy tried to get close to this charming beauty, but Master Maga, unable to tolerate it any longer, delivered another blow to the head.
love at first sight?
It's probably lust at first sight!
The next moment, Jimmy felt a chill run down his spine. A chilling assassin, exuding a murderous aura, calmly appeared beside Natasha.
Blood Raven removed the helmet that had been used to injure him by the Flame Giant. His handsome features, combined with a scar on his face, exuded a masculine aura.
He was very close to Natasha, like a shadowy sword, lurking in the darkness, serving the woman he loved.
"Natasha, if I may ask, what is your relationship with him?"
Upon seeing this, Master Ma Jia couldn't help but ask in confusion.
Blood Raven was the first person to recognize him when he was down on his luck, which gave him the opportunity to meet the Fox King.
Blood Raven knew him, but he didn't know Blood Raven, and their subsequent interactions were even less frequent; they rarely even bumped into each other.
"Him..."
Natasha pursed her red lips and glanced at Blood Raven's indifferent face, but below, the hand holding her slender hand tightened its grip, as if she were somewhat nervous.
"He is my current lover."
"Bang!"
This time, it wasn't Master Maga's headshot, but the sound of a certain sycophant's heart breaking.
...
Natasha's encounter with Master Maga was merely a minor incident.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the cabinet members, Xiao Han got Titan City up and running to process and utilize the supplies.
For a time, everyone was busy and overwhelmed, transporting this astonishing amount of supplies into the city for consumption.
The surge in supplies was being transported frantically through alchemy workshops, freezers, the city lord's mansion, and other channels.
Of course, this was just the beginning. Xiao Han revealed more than a hundred pieces of confiscated storage equipment, and the contents inside were unimaginable. They were all the wealth that the lord had accumulated over decades in his own territory. At this moment, they were all given to Xiao Han as a dowry.
As the supplies from the storage equipment poured out, there had never been a moment when such a large-scale relocation of supplies had taken place.
It was like a tidal wave, endless and relentless, accompanied by torrential rain and strong winds, rushing forward and sweeping everyone into it!
Most importantly, rare resources were abundant and constituted the majority, leaving those who came into contact with these supplies utterly astonished.
Has the city lord looted the entire wasteland?
"The City Lord is mighty!!"
"This is the majesty of a sage! This is the Lord of the City!"
"Could this be the Starflower used to refine the essence? What an amazing magical material! I actually feel a sense of spiritual sublimation!"
"Let's get a roast lamb leg tonight!"
"With these few portions of earth essence, the outer city walls that will withstand the harsh winter can be completed ahead of schedule, and I won't have to stay up all night working myself to the bone!"
"Good heavens! This pure blood of the Stonescale Lizard is worth three Golden Wolves! The City Lord trusts us so much, we certainly can't let him down! Someone, the main materials for the defensive patterns have been collected, we can give it a try!"
This raid on the wasteland increased Titan City's resources by more than ten times, and also brought a bunch of rare magical materials suitable for alchemy, potion making, planting and other fields.
However, Xiao Han retained some of its essence, such as Soul Gold, a crucial material for forging Soul Armor.
Count Shap's jade ring contains a jar of Soul Gold. The quality is not top-notch, but the quantity is abundant. It can upgrade the grade of Soul Equipment and is a strategic resource for major powers.
