Chapter 366 Ed’s Allegiance
When Lei Xiao's vision became clear again.
I found myself in a strange and spacious hall.
The decoration here is exquisite, and the light crystal stones embedded in the walls are shining.
On many places on the wall surface on the left and right sides, a light blue flag with a moon floating in the water was erected.
At the top position, there is an empty metal throne.
Chirp!
At the same time, a soft cry sounded.
There were also a large number of chirping orioles, flapping their wings, and followed everyone out of the barrier area of the Winged Human Race just now.
Needless to say, they are obviously the pet birds that mistakenly entered the barrier before.
"Lord, this is the meeting hall of the Lord's Mansion of Shuiyue City!"
After looking around, Faxia's eyes lit up, and he saluted excitedly to Lei Xiao: "The City Lord's Mansion has indeed been restored to its original position!"
"So, does the entrance to this enchantment area happen to be located in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion? In this way, the safety factor of the enchantment area is guaranteed."
Lei Xiao, who watched all the bright-feathered orioles fly out of the window, then said to the subordinates beside him: "Okay, let's go out and take a look first."
Lei Xiao noticed as he walked straight out of the hall surrounded by his subordinates.
Outside the hall is a corridor of the castle. From time to time, many servants hurried past with various cleaning tools, and they all bowed their heads to Faxia, the young city lord.
It seems that the city lord's palace is undergoing large-scale repair and cleaning work after experiencing a series of inexplicable events.
Under Faxia's guidance, Lei Xiao quickly came to the edge of a balcony in the castle leading to the outdoors.
Standing on the balcony and looking around, Lei Xiao discovered that the sky-blue castle, together with the island on which it was located, had indeed returned to its original state and reappeared on the island lake in the center of Shuiyue City.
At this moment, dusk has arrived, and the evening breeze is slightly cool.
In the sky full of sunset, the last touch of orange-red light emitted by the two suns, one large and one small, continued to fall on the lake not far from the castle, and there was a caramel-colored sparkling light everywhere.
Such a scene, combined with the Gothic architectural style city streets in the distance that are also rendered in orange, makes everything look quite emotional, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"Being able to see such beautiful scenery after taking an adventure is a special reward."
Looking at the exquisite beauty in front of him, Lei Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Sir, you are back!"
Just when Lei Xiao was sighing, Faxia's city lord father, Ed, and three elders, including the great elder, trotted up to him. They all bowed and saluted: "Thank you, sir, for saving our water." A group of clansmen and hundreds of soldiers and servants in the Moon City Lord’s Mansion!”
"No need to be polite."
After waving his hands to several people, Lei Xiao asked casually: "How is the situation in the City Lord's Mansion and the city now?"
"Lord Qi, everything in the city has basically returned to normal."
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 your timely action, all losses have been controlled to a minimum. ”
“Very good.”
Lei Xiao nodded, then took Ed and all the main subordinates alone and walked back to the hall just now.
"Knotweed, it's time to start."
After a moment, Lei Xiao, who was respectfully moved to the top position by Ed, nodded to the burly man beside him.
"As you command, my lord."
A rough voice sounded, and a vast and majestic momentum completely isolated the huge hall from the outside world.
"Ju, he is actually a fifth-level powerhouse..."
Feeling the terrifying energy waves emanating from the knotweed, Ed swallowed involuntarily, with a dull look on his face, and was speechless for a while.
When the young adult rushed to the city lord's mansion, Ed had already noticed the extraordinary strength of the knotweed.
He has at least reached the level of a fourth-level senior expert, and judging from the current situation, it is obvious that this young man has not fully displayed the strong energy under his command!
"It's really unfathomable... I didn't expect that this girl Xia Xia would find such a powerful backer."
At the same time, Ed's heart was filled with huge waves.
Lei Xiao nodded to Faxia beside him, indicating his true identity to Ed, the lord of Shuiyue City.
"My subordinate, Ed Fuyue, is willing to swear allegiance to the Lord to the death!"
After listening to Faxia's introduction, Ed, who was shocked, knelt down on one knee without any hesitation and bowed 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 bloody storm.
And he was still in the barrier area just now, and he once again saved their entire Fuyue family from fire and water, which was undoubtedly twice, so that his family and life were spared.
The most important thing is that my precious daughter has found a place where she can fully display her talents!
Not only can you use all kinds of expensive alchemy materials at will, but you can also get priceless magic potion formulas... You know, this is a treatment that even the royal alchemists with outstanding status can't easily get.
Faced with such a powerful and generous person, how can we not do our best?
"Very good, let's start signing the contract."
Lei Xiao, who slowly walked down from the throne, smiled faintly, and a third-level recruitment order suddenly flashed on his palm, and he immediately began to sign the master-servant contract.
In just a moment, a pleasant reminder sounded in Lei Xiao's ears.
[Congratulations, the third-level nine-star moonlight magician Ed Fuyue has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao opened the opponent's attribute bar.
【Name: Ed】
【Occupation: Moonlight Magician】
[Level: Level Three Nine Stars]
【Loyalty: 100】
[Skill 1: Moon Prayer "Active" (moon attribute single-target healing technique, which can quickly restore the target's injuries and continue to recover within a certain period of time)]
[Skill 2: Moon Spear Thrust "Active" (moon attribute small range spell group attack, additional shield breaking effect and armor breaking effect)]
[Skill Three: Moon Attribute Magic Mastery "Passive" (When using moon attribute magic, the damage will be moderately increased)]
After closing Ed's attribute bar, Lei Xiao leaned down and helped him up.
"Take these, consider them as my meeting gift."
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and a brand new storage ring and a brilliant fourth-level staff appeared immediately and were handed into Ed's hands.
"Thank you very much, Lord!"
After receiving the fourth-level staff from Lei Xiao, the joy on Ed's face was beyond words.
Staffs of the fourth level can often be sold at major auctions for nearly a million gold dragons, and their value is evident!
The lord did not give you a staff, but gave you a family heirloom!
As for the storage ring, not to mention, the only one in the Fuyue family had already been given to Faxia as a birthday gift.
After all, before this, Shuiyue City had been in a state of internal antagonism 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 embarrassment.
"It's just a trivial matter."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly, and with another wave of his hand, 200 sets of shining third-level equipment were spread 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-order guards squadrons in Shuiyue City are an archer squadron and a heavy infantry squadron."
Lei Xiao still maintained a peaceful smile and said to the stunned Ed: "Here are 100 sets of third-level leather armor and third-level long bows, as well as 100 sets of third-level heavy armor, third-level spears, and third-level large shields. Turn around. Just give the two Guards squadrons and gradually change their equipment within a reasonable range.”
Unlike the remote Kongqing Town, Shuiyue City, as a tourist city, is already relatively close to the hinterland of the Cold Flame Kingdom.
If a large number of high-profile costume changes are made, it will inevitably attract the attention of other surrounding cities and even the Leng Yan royal family.
Therefore, this degree must be grasped well, and there is no room for negligence.
Looking at the priceless third-level equipment in front of him, Ed swallowed again and could hardly believe his eyes.
All members of the second-level Guards Squadron are equipped with third-level equipment. I am afraid that only the top noble families such as the Lengyan Royal Family and the Shanglu Family can achieve this, right?
With these equipment, the overall strength of Shuiyue City's two second-level guard squadrons will undoubtedly be greatly improved!
Thinking of this with excitement, Ed quickly bowed again and said: "Understood, Lord, please rest assured that my subordinates know what to do. They will select the most elite soldiers first, starting with weapons, and then change their equipment in batches. In this way, the enthusiasm and loyalty of the soldiers can be further improved!”
“Very good.”
Lei Xiao nodded and learned some other information about Shuiyue City from Ed.
It was learned that in addition to two second-level elite squadrons, Shuiyue City currently has three garrison brigades and a Shuiyue City garrison reserve brigade, which also includes an established cavalry brigade.
And that reserve brigade was the soldiers who had been temporarily disbanded due to lack of funds.
"That's it."
After learning this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Expand the garrison strength of Shuiyue City to the level of four brigades as soon as possible, and train some new recruits, and strive to reach the garrison strength of five brigades. If you don’t have enough funds, feel free to contact me.”
"As you command, Lord!"
Ed nodded quickly and said: "There are still a lot of the 2 million golden dragons you gave me before. Lord, please don't worry about funding."
"Very good."
Lei Xiao thought for a moment and then said again: "By the way, the news about the barrier area today must be sealed. Do you have any good suggestions about this?"
"Back to Lord, in the history of Shuiyue City, there have been several small-scale temporary mirages, so that there have been situations similar to today."
After frowning for a while, Ed responded respectfully: "So my subordinates think that we can declare to the outside world that a small-scale mirage incident also occurred this time, which caused the entire city lord's palace to disappear in the to its original location.”
"Very good, let's do it."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao, who was pacing slowly in the hall, continued: "Currently, the barrier area of the Winged Human Race has completely returned to its normal state. As for the location of the entrance, you have already had a sense of it, right? ? In this hall. ”
"Moreover, the energy supply of those high-level golem puppets has been completely removed, and they have lost any danger, and normal exploration can be carried out."
Looking at the middle-aged city lord standing respectfully in front of him, Lei Xiao continued: "Thus, 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."
"I obey! Lord, please rest assured!"
Ed immediately bowed and responded: "As long as there is time, my subordinates will personally lead their confidants to investigate. In normal times, this place will be completely sealed and no one is allowed to enter or exit."
"Once you find anything else in the barrier area, be sure to report it to me as soon as possible."
Nodding to Ed, Lei Xiao briefly told Ed the current situation in the territory, including Ariel and his party, and their current plans.
After listening to Lei Xiao's calm tone, but full of explosive news, Ed was stunned for a long time, and then he came to his senses again and said numbly: "Lord, in this case, the other person on your trip is The important reason is to understand the situation of General Shengguang Jubai?”
"Yes, that's exactly it."
Lei Xiao walked back to the throne and responded: "I wonder if Lord Ed knows anything about this?"
"Back to the Lord, as far as my subordinates know, this Holy Light General Ju Bai, although he comes from a family of earls in Leng Yan, his true identity is actually the adopted daughter of this family of earls. There is no blood connection, and she is Born as an ordinary civilian.”
Edmo rubbed his neatly trimmed beard and chin, pondered for a moment, and then responded: "It's just that my subordinates don't know the specific situation."
"Oh? As an adopted daughter of a noble family, she climbed all the way to the high position of one of the eight generals of Lengyan Kingdom? It seems that this Orange Bai is more skillful than I thought."
Raising his eyebrows in surprise, Lei Xiao told Ed: "Okay, call Carol in who once served under his command, and let us take a good look at this young and beautiful Holy Light General. , what’s so special about it?” (End of Chapter)
