Chapter 355 The confusing uninvited guest
After hearing this sudden sound, the three commanders immediately followed the sound and were surprised.
I saw a young man in simple clothes standing there on the street corner not far away.
Because he was facing the sun, the bright sunshine left a faint golden halo on his body, which made people feel dizzy.
Surrounded by him were five powerful men who faintly exuded impressive aura.
At this moment, although these three Shuiyue City commanders were at the level of third-level senior experts, they could not see through the specific strength of the group of people in front of them.
But the only thing that can be confirmed is that the strength of these strong men, including the simple young man, is above them!
"Six powerful men of level three or above?!"
The female commander Carol looked stern, immediately put her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist, and said in a deep voice: "May I ask who you are?"
There was a crisp sound of armor clashing, and at Carol's gesture, several groups of fully armed garrison soldiers immediately surrounded them, their faces full of vigilance.
"Captain Carol, please be patient and look at the object in that young man's hand!"
A middle-aged commander on the side quickly reminded him.
After hearing the prompts from her colleagues, Carol held the hilt of the sword and looked at it intently.
I saw the young man in simple clothes, and what he showed in his hand was a delicate and small token depicting a floating moon in the water. The floating moon emblem on it was the same as the chest of every Shuiyue City garrison. What is engraved on the armor is exactly the same.
"Is this a token of the Fuyue family owned by the Lord of the City and Miss Faxia, the heir to the Lord of the City?!"
"It is said that this kind of token will only be given to close friends and benefactors who have been of great help to the Fuyue family. It represents the highest respect of the Fuyue family. How come it is in your...your hands?"
< br>
A look of surprise suddenly appeared on Carol's sultry face, and her hand that tightly grasped the hilt of the sword relaxed unconsciously.
Standing directly opposite her was Lei Xiao and his party.
The Fuyue family token in Lei Xiao's hand was naturally given by Faxia, the heir to the family.
"It turns out...it's you!"
After seeing Lei Xiao's appearance clearly, one of the middle-aged commanders suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, and blurted out: "This young master is the one who attended the alchemist conference in Gelin City before. The big shot who helped Miss Faxia clear all her huge debts!”
As soon as these words came out, both Carol and another middle-aged commander had a look of shock on their faces.
The soldiers around him also had awe-inspiring expressions, and they all cast awe-inspiring looks at Lei Xiao.
At that time, after Lei Xiao sent 2 million golden dragons to Shuiyue City through the Phytolacca Trade Fair in Fanyin City, it immediately caused an uproar in the city.
You know, 2 million golden dragons are the total profit of the entire city for more than ten years. The amount is so huge!
At that time, although Lei Xiao was operating in the name of Faxia himself.
But the discerning people in Shuiyue City all understand clearly.
Behind this famously willful family heir, there must be a powerful and powerful force!
"So, is this young man with a calm expression in front of me the leader of that huge force..."
An irrepressible respect once again appeared on Carol's sassy face.
She quickly waved away the ordinary soldiers around her, and then came forward with two other middle-aged commanders.
Seeing that the middle-aged commander recognized him directly, Lei Xiao was a little surprised, but he soon understood.
"I see. I remember that at the Alchemist Conference in Gelin City, Fa Xia was accompanied by another third-level powerhouse as a guard, in addition to his personal maid A Bing."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and thought to himself: "Although I have hardly had any communication with the other party and the impression is not very deep, if I recall carefully, the other third-level strong guard is undoubtedly this one. A middle-aged commander.”
"Sir, let me introduce myself again. Captain Gerry of Shuiyue City's First Guards Army Brigade. See you, sir!"
The middle-aged commander was the first to bear the brunt and bowed to Lei Xiao and said, "Thank you, sir, for helping us in Shuiyue City!"
"Shuiyue City Second Guards Brigade, Captain Carol, see you, sir!"
"Shuiyuecheng's third garrison brigade, captain Crewe, see you, sir!"
Carol and another middle-aged commander also bowed and saluted.
The three of them were all promoted by Faxia's father, the city lord, and they were equally loyal to Faxia as the heir.
Therefore, the three of them would naturally have no other thoughts except respect for Lei Xiao, who had helped Faxia completely clear his debts.
After all, if Lei Xiao hadn't appeared, the City Lord's Mansion would have been in a state of fiscal deficit for years.
Once they are impeached by the family council of elders, according to the ruthless temperament of the great elder, I am afraid that their end will only be a disaster.
"No need to be polite."
Seeing that things were going more smoothly than expected, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.
Immediately, Lei Xiao's expression became stern, and he said seriously: "I have witnessed the sudden disappearance of the city lord's mansion and the island where it is located. The top priority now is to find out the cause of the disappearance as soon as possible, and tell you what you know about the situation and the situation. Please describe to me all the unusual things that have happened during this time.”
"I understand, sir, let's start with the abnormal situation that occurred during this period."
Gerry, the captain of the Shuiyue City garrison who had met Lei Xiao before as Fa Xia's guard in Gelin City, bowed slightly and began to describe to Lei Xiao.
Through Gerry's detailed introduction, Lei Xiao learned.
In the past few days, Shuiyue City has indeed seen a lot of strange phenomena that have almost never been seen before.
The first is that the energy particles in the air will occasionally produce strange fluctuations, but most of the time they return to normal. This has been repeated many times, and no reason can be found at all.
Second, whether it is the moat or the lake in the island in the center of the city, the water level has dropped to varying degrees for unknown reasons, as if it had been drained away.
Third, at night, occasionally someone would hear a sound similar to a broken window, but could not find the source of the sound.
Fourth, recently in the city, many of the warblers raised by people have disappeared inexplicably.
"To be honest, sir, in fact, these things were just summarized by the few of us."
I saw Gerry sighing first, and then continued: "Among these four abnormal situations, except for the first one, which was personally noticed by our city lord, the other three are all caused by many residents in the city. , reports came to our garrison one after another.”
Shaking his head helplessly, Gerry added: "Although a series of investigations were conducted at that time, after the investigation was fruitless, it did not attract much attention. It was just that more police were deployed in key areas of the city. The patrol team is ready to take another look.”
"That's right, it wasn't until the City Lord's Mansion disappeared that we realized belatedly that there might be some potential connection."
Carol also sighed softly, and then echoed: "If we could connect these things earlier and compile a report to the Lord of the City, maybe the Lord of the City will find some clues."
"Sir, although the three of us have combined all the abnormal situations that have occurred recently, we are still confused and cannot find the connection at all."
Gerry first looked at each other helplessly with the other two captains, and then added.
"That's it."
Lei Xiao rubbed his chin while murmuring to himself: "Abnormal energy fluctuations that appear from time to time, the water level of the moat and island lake dropping, the sound of broken windows, and the disappearing orioles..."
After thinking for a moment, Lei Xiao turned his head slightly and asked Huzhang, Ye Cang, Chao Yan and others: "I wonder what you guys think about this?"
"Back to my lord, judging from the current situation, it is difficult to accurately judge and analyze whether there is a potential connection between these four things. Perhaps some of them are related to the disappearance of the City Lord's Mansion, while others Part of it is entirely due to other things that are still unknown.”
Ye Cang pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, bowed and responded: "Among these, the most intuitive thing is the abnormal energy fluctuations in the air. But now everything around us is normal, so this cannot be Understand intuitively. ”
"It's true, things are really getting more and more difficult."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
Lei Xiao then pondered for a moment, then asked the three Shuiyue City garrison captains in front of him: "About when will the abnormal energy fluctuations that occur from time to time appear? Is there any pattern?"< br>
"Sir, it's usually around noon and midnight, and it only lasts for a short time."
Grill thought for a while and immediately replied: "At first, including the Lord of the City, we all thought that it was just a magician or alchemist in the city who was studying some rare spell. He just sent a few people in the city to An elite team of magicians will conduct further monitoring.”
"But because the abnormal energy fluctuations last for a very short time, the specific source cannot be confirmed every time."
"It wasn't until we discovered that the timing of abnormal energy fluctuations seemed to be very fixed that we paid attention to it."
"However, just today, when the Lord of the City was about to start a thorough investigation of the matter, the City Lord's Mansion disappeared together with the island where it was located."
After saying that, Gerry swallowed uneasily, and then looked at the blue sky above his head.
Then he added: "Sir, it's almost noon now. If nothing else happens, that strange energy fluctuation should appear again."
Just when Gerry said this.
The next second, something changed suddenly.
Accompanied by an inexplicable energy fluctuation, it swept past.
Without any warning, on the empty and calm lake ahead, suddenly there was a storm.
In an instant, huge waves rolled in, rushing towards the shore neatly repaired by large stones, stirring up waves higher than the previous waves.
Amidst the howling wind, strange-shaped black shadows suddenly appeared on the turbulent lake surface. At a glance, there were more than twenty in number.
Observing carefully, those who came riding the waves turned out to be pure black stone giants.
I saw that the giants were all about 3 meters tall. Under the bright sunshine, their bodies exuded a strange dark light.
Strange purple lines flashed continuously from the bodies of these tall black stone giants.
The godless eyes were glowing with blood-red light, which looked extremely terrifying.
The most important thing is that these stone men have strong auras around them, and they have obviously reached the level of third-order powerhouses.
"More than twenty stone giants with level three strength, where did they come from?!"
Seeing this scene, the faces of the three Shuiyue City garrison captains suddenly showed expressions of disbelief.
"Sir, please be careful, leave this place to us!"
After a while, the three people with solemn expressions did not hesitate. While bowing slightly to Lei Xiao again, they began to direct the garrison soldiers of several surrounding squadrons to form formations.
Several garrison magicians not far away also fired red magic flares into the air, apparently asking for support.
For a moment, the scene suddenly became tense and chaotic.
"Lord, this seems to be a high-level golem puppet."
Chaoyan's little face was also filled with a stern look, and he said: "However, I have never heard of this black stone giant before, but what is certain is that the energy fluctuations on it are very weird. There is no record even in the large attic library of the Magic Tower.”
"Lord, my subordinates did not feel the energy fluctuations emitted when summoning the golem puppets. It seems that these black stone giants were not just summoned."
Ye Cang's voice also reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"Lord, except for these golem puppets, my subordinates have not found the aura of other powerful people. Their controller is not here."
Finally, Tiger Stick, who had been guarding Lei Xiao, bowed and confessed.
"There is no news about the disappeared city lord's mansion, and now a group of third-level high-level golem puppets appear out of thin air? Things are really getting more and more complicated..."
Looking at the black stone giants who had already rushed to the shore and began to attack the garrison soldiers indiscriminately, Lei Xiao said with a stern expression: "The top priority now is to help the soldiers of Shuiyue City and clean up all these uninvited guests. .”
"Yes! Lord!"
After receiving Lei Xiao's order, in addition to the knotweed guarding Lei Xiao's side.
The rest of the main powerhouses immediately turned into meteors and rushed straight towards the black stone giants.
