Chapter 365: Ed's allegiance
When Lei Xiao's sight became clear again.
I found myself in a strange and spacious hall.
The decoration here is exquisite, and the light spar embedded in the walls is shining.
In many places on the surface of the walls on the left and right sides, there is a light blue flag with a moon floating in the water.
And at the top position, there is an empty metal throne.
Chirp chirp!
At the same time, a soft cry sounded.
There are also a large number of warblers flapping their wings, following the crowd and breaking away from the barrier area of the Winged Human Race just now.
Obviously, they were the pet birds that strayed into the barrier before.
"Lord, this is the council hall of the Lord's Mansion of Shuiyue City!"
On the other side, after looking around, Fa Xia's starry eyes lit up, and he slightly bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "It seems that the City Lord's Mansion has indeed returned to its original state!"
"So, is the entrance of this enchantment area exactly located in the hall of the City Lord's Mansion? In this way, the safety factor of the enchantment area is guaranteed."
Slightly nodding his head, he watched those brightly feathered warblers fly out of the window as many as Lei Xiao, and then said to the subordinates beside him: "Okay, let's go out and have a look first."
In this way, surrounded by all the subordinates, he walked straight out of this hall, Lei Xiao noticed.
Outside the hall is a corridor of a castle. From time to time, many servants rush past with various cleaning tools, and bow their heads to Faxia, who is the young city lord, in salute.
It seems that the entire City Lord's Mansion is undergoing large-scale renovation and cleaning after a series of inexplicable events.
Next, under the guidance of Fa Xia, Lei Xiao soon came to the edge of a balcony leading to the outside of a castle.
Standing on the balcony and looking around, Lei Xiao noticed.
This sky-blue castle, together with the small island where it is located, has indeed been restored to its original state and reappeared on the lake in the island in the center of Shuiyue City.
At this time, dusk has come, and the evening breeze is slightly cool.
In the sky full of sunset, two suns, one big and one small, emitted the last smear of orange-red brilliance, continuously sprinkled on the lake not far from the castle, making caramel-colored sparkles everywhere.
Such a scene is set against the city streets and alleys in the Gothic architectural style that are also rendered in orange in the distance.
It makes everything look quite emotional, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
"Master, you are back!"
Just when Lei Xiao saw this.
I saw Fasha's city lord's father, Ed, and three elders, including the first elder, coming to the front together.
They all bowed and saluted: "Thank you, my lord, for saving all the clansmen and hundreds of soldiers and servants in our Shuiyue City Lord's Mansion!"
"You don't need to be too polite." Lei Xiao waved his hands slightly to several people, and asked casually, "How is the current situation in the City Lord's Mansion and the city?"
"My lord, everything in the city has basically returned to normal."
Directly opposite, Ed still maintained his saluting posture, and immediately responded: "As for the wounded soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion, they have also been properly treated.
With the adults' timely action, all losses were kept to a minimum. "
"Very good." With a slight nod, Lei Xiao walked back to the hall just now with Ed and his subordinates alone.
"Knotweed, you can start." A moment later, Lei Xiao, who was respectfully moved to the upper seat by Ed, nodded to the burly man beside him.
"Obey, my lord." The next second, a rough voice sounded, and a vast and majestic momentum completely isolated the huge hall from the outside world.
"Ju, he's actually a fifth-level powerhouse..." Feeling the waves of energy emanating from the knotweed body, Ed swallowed involuntarily, and was speechless for a while.
At that time, when this young adult rushed to help the City Lord's Mansion, Ed had already noticed the strength of the knotweed, which was very extraordinary.
It seems that at least it has reached the strength of a fourth-tier senior expert, but judging from the current situation.
This young adult obviously did not fully reveal the strong energy under his command.
"It really is unfathomable...I never thought that Xia Xia would find such a powerful backer."
At the same time that Ed made a huge wave in his heart.
Lei Xiao nodded to Faxia who was beside him, and signaled him to tell Ed, who was the lord of Shuiyue City, his true identity.
"Subordinate Ed? Fuyue, willing to swear allegiance to the lord!"
After a while, after listening to Fasha's introduction.
Shocked Ed, without any hesitation, knelt down on one knee and lowered his head deeply to Lei Xiao.
This young adult not only helped him solve the financial crisis, but also avoided being impeached by the Great Elder faction, and saved Shuiyue City from an unnecessary **** storm.
Moreover, he was still in the enchantment area just now, and saved their entire Fuyue family from the fire and water again, which is undoubtedly equal to twice, and saved his wealth and life.
The most important thing is that my precious daughter has found a place where she can display her talents to the fullest.
Not only can you use all kinds of expensive alchemy materials casually, but you can also get priceless potion formulas... You know, this is a treatment that even the most prestigious royal alchemists can't easily get.
All in all, in the face of such a big man with a mountain of kindness, how can he not do his best?
"Very good, let's start signing the contract."
On the other side, Lei Xiao, who was slowly stepping down from the throne, smiled faintly, and suddenly a Tier 3 recruitment order flashed on his palm, and he immediately began to sign the master-servant contract.
In just a moment, the pleasant reminder sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, Ed Fuyue, the third-rank nine-star moonlight magician, has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate!
Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao opened the opponent's attribute bar.
Name: Ed
Occupation: Moonlight Mage
[Class: Tier 3 Nine Stars]
Loyalty: 100
[Skill 1: Prayer of the Moon "Active" (moon attribute single healing technique, can quickly recover the target's injuries, and continue to recover within a certain period of time)]
[Skill 2: Moon Spear Thrust "Active" (moon attribute small-scale magic group attack, additional shield-breaking effect and armor-piercing effect)]
[Skill 3: Lunar Attribute Magic Proficiency "Passive" (When using Lunar Attribute Magic, moderately increases damage)]
After closing Ed's attribute bar, Lei Xiao leaned down and helped him up.
"Take these, and treat them as my meeting gift."
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
A brand new storage ring and a splendid fourth-tier staff emerged immediately and were handed to Ed.
"Thank you very much, my lord!" Ed's face was full of joy when he took the fourth-tier staff from Lei Xiao.
Tier 4 staves can often be sold for a high price of nearly a million golden dragons at major auctions, which shows its value!
It can be seen from this that the lord is not bestowing a staff, but a family heirloom!
As for the storage ring, let alone the only one in the Fuyue family, it was already given to Faxia as a birthday present.
After all, before this, Shuiyue City had been in a state of conflict within the family for many years, and in addition, Faxia, an alchemist, had been trained.
Although Ed is the lord of a city, his real financial situation can only be described as embarrassing.
"It's just a trifle." With a slight smile, Lei Xiao pondered for a while, and with a wave of his hand, 200 sets of Tier 3 equipment shone with splendor, spreading all over the floor.
For a moment, the entire hall suddenly became colorful, and even the walls were reflected with rainbow-colored halos.
"I have observed before that the two second-tier guard squadrons in Shuiyue City are an archer squadron and a heavy infantry squadron."
Immediately afterwards, after receiving an affirmative answer from Ed, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "Here are 100 sets of Tier 3 leather armor and Tier 3 long bows, and 100 sets of Tier 3 heavy armor, Tier 3 spears, and Tier 3 armor." large shield.
Go back to the two guard squadrons, and within a reasonable range, gradually change their equipment. "
Undoubtedly, it is different from the remote Kongqing Town.
As a tourist city, Shuiyue City is already relatively close to the hinterland of Lengyan Kingdom.
If there is a large number of high-profile facelifts, it will definitely attract the attention of other surrounding cities, and even the Lengyan royal family.
Therefore, this degree naturally has to be grasped well.
On the other side, looking at the priceless Tier 3 equipment in front of him, Ed swallowed again, almost unable to believe his eyes.
In the second-tier guard squadron, all members are equipped with third-tier equipment. I am afraid that only the top aristocratic families such as the Lengyan royal family and the Shanglu family can do it, right?
All in all, with these equipments, the overall strength of the two second-tier guard squadrons in Shuiyue City will undoubtedly be greatly improved!
Thinking of this, Ed hurriedly bowed again and said, "Understood, please rest assured, my lord.
The subordinates know what to do, and they will select the most elite soldiers first, starting with weapons, and changing them in batches.
In this way, the enthusiasm and loyalty of the soldiers can be further improved! "
"Very good." With a slight nod, Lei Xiao and Ed got to know some other things about Shuiyue City.
I learned that there are currently two second-tier elite squadrons.
There are also three garrison brigades in Shuiyue City, and a reserve brigade of garrison troops in Shuiyue City.
Among them, it also includes an organized cavalry brigade.
And that reserve brigade was the soldiers who had been temporarily disbanded due to insufficient funds.
"So that's how it is." Knowing this, Lei Xiao groaned for a while, and said again: "As soon as possible, expand the defense force of Shuiyue City to the level of four brigades.
After that, train some new recruits and strive to reach the strength of the garrison of five brigades. If the funds are insufficient, please come to me at any time. "
"Of course, my lord!" Hearing this, Ed nodded quickly and said, "There are still a lot of 2 million golden dragons that you bestowed before, so please don't worry about funding, my lord."
"Very good." With a slight nod, Lei Xiao thought for a moment, then said again: "By the way, we must block the news about the barrier area today.
Do you have any good advice on this? "
Hearing this, Ed pondered for a while, and then responded: "My lord, in the history of Shuiyue City, there have been several small-scale short-lived mirages.
So much so that there have been situations similar to today, so the subordinates thought.
This time, it can be announced that a small-scale mirage incident also occurred, which caused the entire City Lord's Mansion to disappear in its original position. "
"Very well, let's do it."
Satisfied, Lei Xiao continued walking slowly in the hall, "Currently, the barrier area of the Winged Human Race has completely returned to its normal state.
As for the location of the entrance, you already have a little perception, right? Right here in the hall.
Moreover, the energy supply of those high-level golem puppets has been completely removed, losing any danger, and normal exploration can be carried out.
Therefore, while the above-mentioned important matters are progressing, the investigation of the enchantment area must also be carried out. After all, there are still a large number of areas that have not yet been explored. "
"Obey! Please rest assured, my lord!" On the other side, Ed immediately bowed and responded: "As long as there is time, this subordinate will personally lead his confidants to investigate.
Normally, this place will be completely sealed off, and no one is allowed to enter or exit. "
"Very good. Once you find anything else in the enchanted area, be sure to report it to me as soon as possible."
At this time, Lei Xiao nodded slightly first, and then briefly told Ed about his current situation, including Ariel and his party, as well as the current plan.
On the other side, Ed, who had heard Lei Xiao's flat tone but was full of explosive news, was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
Then he said: "My lord, so another important reason for your trip is to understand the situation of General Shengguang Jubai?"
"That's ~ That's exactly the case." With a slight nod, Lei Xiao walked back to the throne and said, "I wonder if the Lord Eddie knows anything about this point?"
"My lord, as far as my subordinates know, this general of the Holy Light is orange, although he comes from an earl family of Leng Yan.
But her real identity is actually the adopted daughter of this earl's family, she is not related by blood, and she is of ordinary civilian background.
However, the specific situation is not particularly understood. "On the other side, Ed rubbed his neatly trimmed chin, pondered for a moment, and then responded.
"Oh? As the adopted daughter of an aristocratic family, has she climbed all the way to the high position of one of the generals of Leng Yan's Eight Great Kingdoms? It seems that this orange and white has more wrists than I imagined."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then told Ed: "Okay, let's call in Ka Luo, who used to work under his command.
Let us take a closer look at what is so special about this young and beautiful General Shengguang Jubai. "
