Chapter 565: The allegiance of Lisha and Reese

"So that's it... I didn't expect that even the noble and proud Princess would serve this young master wholeheartedly!"

After listening to Ariel's story, Lixia's starry eyes flashed and she was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

Reese on the side looked as if he was petrified again, looking at Lei Xiao who stood there with uncontrollable admiration.

Now, he doesn't have the arrogance and disdain he had just now. In his eyes that reveal his own shame, only admiration and adoration remain.

At this moment, the hearts of the siblings were beginning to turn upside down again.

When they were still worried about family disputes and personal matters like this.

The young man from another world in front of them, who was almost the same age as them, was thinking not just of Leng Yan's world... but of the entire world!

Such a gap undoubtedly caused great shock in the hearts of these two aristocratic siblings who had received complete elite education.

After a while, Lisha and Reese looked at each other first, and both saw a hint of determination in each other's eyes.

Then they both took a step forward and said in unison to Lei Xiao: "Sir, are you really willing to help us find our missing father?"

"That's natural."

Looking at the two excited expressions in front of him, Lei Xiao said with a faint smile.

On the other side, after hearing Lei Xiao's words, the sister and brother did not hesitate any longer. They both knelt down on one knee and bowed their heads deeply to Lei Xiao.

"My subordinate, Rixia? Falcon Spear, is willing to swear allegiance to the lord to the death!"

"Subordinate Rhys Falcon Spear, I am willing to swear allegiance to the lord to the death!"

"Very good. From this moment on, I will lead you on an unprecedented path of glory."

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao's mind moved, and two third-level recruitment orders exuding silver metallic light appeared on his palm.

Next, it didn't take long.

As the master-servant contracts were signed, familiar reminders sounded in Lei Xiao's ears one after another.

[Congratulations, the third-level three-star light knight Risha Falcon Spear has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】

[Congratulations, the third-level three-star light knight Reese Falcon Spear has signed a master-servant contract with you and has become your new subordinate! 】

"Two light knights? Not bad, not bad."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.

Currently, among the subordinates under his command, in addition to Sean and other ten pterodactyl knights, there are only Lin and Bran, the cavalry commander of the Mailan Town garrison. These two knights are professional.

With the addition of Lisha and Rees, whether they cultivate their own knights in the future or let them lead other cavalry units, they will undoubtedly further enhance their strength!

"Speaking of which, Lin's profession is an assault knight, while Bran, Lisha, and Reese's professions are light knights. There are some differences."

While overjoyed, Lei Xiao couldn't help but fall into thinking.

In this world, there are extremely many types of ordinary knights who ride war horses.

In addition to light knights, assault knights and heavy knights, there are also magic knights, paladins, bow knights, and even extremely mysterious construct knights, etc.

"Of course, the most common ones on the battlefield and the largest number are naturally light knights, assault knights and heavy knights."

Nodding thoughtfully, Lei Xiao continued to think.

Needless to say, there are light knights wearing light armor and heavy knights wearing heavy armor, even heavy armor that resists magic.

One maximizes mobility, while the other maximizes defense.

As for the assault knights wearing medium plate armor, they are somewhere in between. Their defense power is much higher than that of the light knights, and they can often play a great role in charging into battle.

"All in all, these three different arms can be considered to have their own merits."

Thinking of this, while helping the two siblings in front of him up respectively, Lei Xiao first opened Lixia's attribute bar.

[Name: Lixia]

[Occupation: Light Knight]

[Level: Three-Level Three Stars]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Skill 1: Falcon Spear Thrust "Active" (physical single target attack, additional armor-piercing effect)]

[Skill 2: Three consecutive stabs of the Falcon Sword "Active" (physical single target attack, additional armor-breaking effect)]

[Skill 3: Sword and Gun Mastery "Passive" (moderately increases damage when using a long sword or lance)]

"Yes, just like Lin, he can charge with a lance while riding a horse, and can fight with a sword while dismounting. He is indeed a qualified knight."

Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao opened Reese's attribute bar again.

[Name: Reese]

[Occupation: Light Knight]

[Level: Three-Level Three Stars]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Skill 1: Falcon Spear Thrust "Active" (physical single target attack, additional armor-piercing effect)]

[Skill 2: Two consecutive stabs of the Falcon Sword "Active" (physical single target attack, additional armor-breaking effect)]

[Skill Three: Sword and Gun Mastery "Passive" (When using a long sword or lance, the damage will be slightly increased)]

"It's not bad. Although his strength is the same as Lisha's, is he slightly inferior in martial arts? It doesn't matter. If you have good talent, you can hone it on the battlefield and you will be able to turn it into steel."

Lei Xiao motioned for the two of them to sit aside and said, "Okay, let's talk about your father's disappearance."

"As you command! Lord Lord!"

At this time, Lixia's fair face was slightly blushing, and it was obvious that she had not yet recovered from the excitement of joining her own camp.

She regained her composure, then stood up from her seat, bowed and said, "Lord, this is what happened..."

Next, through Li Xia's description, Lei Xiao learned.

Just as we had speculated, the Lord of Gelin City, Hod, had indeed been inexplicably missing for more than a week.

In order to maintain the stability of the city, siblings Lisha and Reese, as acting city lords, took measures to cover up the news.

After all, under the chaos of internal and external troubles like Leng Yan, if the lord of a city disappears for no reason, it will undoubtedly have a very serious impact on the stability of the entire city.

"Lord, after my father disappeared, at the beginning, the elders of the family were very supportive of my subordinates and Reese, and actively assisted us in our secret search."

Dai Mei lowered her eyebrows and sighed softly. Li Xia continued to maintain a respectful posture and said: "However, after five or six days of secret search with no results, the atmosphere in the clan quietly changed.

.

Moreover, the situation was aggravated after three red dragons suddenly descended over the city last time, causing chaos in the city."

"It's a normal development. After all, as time goes by, the possibility of your father still surviving is gradually decreasing, and Gelin City cannot remain without a backbone."

Looking at the frown on Li Xia's delicate face, Lei Xiao said: "I have to say that for ordinary people, it is possible to become the lord of a city on the scale of Gelin City and hold a legion-level weapon.

Heavy troops are indeed very tempting."

"The Lord is right, and we both know this very well. Therefore, the only solution to the matter at present is to find our missing father."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Li Xia said solemnly: "Only in this way can the family be reunited as one, otherwise, based on the words of the two of us, I am afraid that Ge Lincheng will have to break away from us sooner or later.

Got it under control.”

"Indeed."

Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao frowned and said, "Tell me about the details of your father's disappearance."

"Back to the lord, our father has a habit of dressing up in disguise and going around the city alone on random inspections in his spare time."

Reese also stood up from his seat and saluted respectfully: "It was an extremely ordinary afternoon, the sun was bright and warm. After my father said hello to the two of us, he left the city lord's mansion alone, and has never been seen since.

The news never came back."

"The most important thing is that my father neither said where he was going nor left any useful information."

Having said this, Reese and Lisha, who were standing beside him, couldn't help but look gloomy and sighed softly.

"So that's it. No wonder I've been looking for it for so long but still found nothing."

Hearing the sound, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Then, Lei Xiao's eyes moved and fell on Huzhang and Hongye again.

The perception of a fifth-level powerhouse is far beyond that of an ordinary powerhouse. If you can detect something from the breath, you will naturally be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

"Lord, my subordinates and Hong Ye have carefully sensed just now that there is no aura of a fourth-level powerhouse in the city."

A rough voice sounded, and the tiger stick took a step forward and responded respectfully.

"Lord, there is almost no clue at all. In the huge Gelin City, where should we start?"

Hearing the sound, Ariel couldn't help but frowned slightly and said, "It's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"Combined with the existing clues, we can completely confirm that the possibility of Lord Hod encountering a man-made attack is very low."

Indicating to Ariel that there was no need to worry, Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates, and then said: "It can be seen from this that this must be a sudden accident."

"What the lord said is absolutely true. My subordinate's father will dress up carefully every time he goes out, and the location is not fixed. It is almost impossible for him to be attacked by his enemies."

Biting his red lips gently, Lixia said: "In addition, my father's strength has reached the fourth level and two stars, and he has many trump cards. Even if he encounters the fourth level peak powerhouse, he will not be able to sneak up on him quietly.

Disappeared without a sound."

After a pause, Lixia, whose lips were bitten until they turned white, continued: "Furthermore, we checked all the attendance records of the garrison brigade in charge of public security in the city that afternoon, and found no trace of his father's presence.

"

"It can be seen that the possibility of my father being attacked by man is almost zero."

I saw Reese take a step forward, and while taking over Lixia's words, he rubbed his fingers until they turned white because he was nervous to face Lei Xiao: "Besides, with my father's calm character, he will never leave us two behind."

Say goodbye to the whole city without saying goodbye."

"After searching the city for several days with no results, we focused on the many mineral veins in the new mining area of ​​​​Houshan. After all, that is the lifeblood of Gelin City, and it is also a place where my father often goes to inspect."

Taking a deep breath, Lixia tried his best to adjust his emotions and added: "However, due to the extremely complex distribution of mineral veins in the new mining area, many of them have been abandoned, and a considerable part of them have been contracted to various miners.

Even though there are many people and mixed eyes, you still get nothing.”

"So, the two of you gave the order today to completely seal the entire mine vein, and prepare to conduct a thorough search, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Back to Lord, that's right. This is our last chance."

Lisha nodded slightly, and his crisp voice became more and more disappointed.

Reese also lowered his head, looking helpless.

"You have the right idea."

Raising his hand slightly to signal the two of them to raise their heads, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "From your description, it can be analyzed that the possibility of Lord Hod being attacked in the city is indeed very slim."

"After all, with his strength and familiarity with Gelin City, it is almost impossible for him to disappear without anyone noticing."

After pondering for a while, Lei Xiao asked again: "In the recent period, there have been no other inexplicable disappearances in the city, right?"

"Back to your lord, during today's meeting, the captain of the garrison in charge of public security mentioned this inadvertently. No such situation has occurred."

On the other side, Lixia bowed slightly and responded.

"That's it. From the current information, two important clues can be analyzed."

Nodding to the subordinates, Lei Xiao spoke eloquently: "First, the possibility of the cross-dressed City Lord Hod encountering active man-made events and being involved in passive man-made incidents is extremely slim.

Therefore, it is very likely that he encountered some unexpected and non-human event, which led to the accidental disappearance.

Secondly, in this densely populated city, no other inexplicable disappearances occurred at the same time. At this point, the situation is very obvious."

"Lord, I understand! Since the same incident did not happen in a densely populated city, my father must have disappeared in the relatively sparsely populated Houshan New Mining Area!"

Li Xia's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said: "Moreover, the mines subcontracted out in the new mining area have the largest number of miners, and there have been no disappearances..."

"It seems that the place where my father disappeared is exactly in the new mining area, those abandoned mine vein areas with sparse traffic!"

On the other side, Reese also looked enlightened and added.

Hearing this, the other subordinates also nodded.

"The lord is indeed an extraordinary person! Now everything is clear!"

In addition to being overjoyed, Li Xia's delicate face couldn't help but reveal an expression of reverence, and said sincerely.

"Okay, without further ado, let us uncover the truth behind the mysterious disappearance of Lord Hod."

Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao immediately ordered: "The target is the new mining area in Gelin City, let's go!"

"As you command! Lord Lord!"

Upon hearing this, all the subordinates bowed and spoke in unison with high morale.
