After hearing this, the three commanders were shocked and immediately followed the sound, only to see 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.
Surrounding 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 were unable to 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?!"
Realizing this, the female commander Carol looked stern, frowned slightly, immediately pressed her hand on the hilt of the sword at her waist, and said in a deep voice: "May I ask who you are?"
At the same moment, the crisp sound of armor clashing sounded.
At Carol's gesture, several groups of heavily armed garrison soldiers also immediately surrounded them, their faces full of vigilance.
"Captain Carol, please be patient and look at the object in that young man's hand!" At this moment, 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 the moon floating in the water.
The floating moon emblem on it is exactly the same as what is engraved on the breastplates of every Shuiyue City garrison.
"This is a token of the Fuyue family owned only by the city lord and Miss Faxia, who is the heir to the city lord?!
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, and represents the highest respect of the Fuyue family.
How could it be in your...your hands?"
Seeing this, Carol's sassy face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and her hand holding the sword hilt tightly relaxed unconsciously.
There is no doubt that those standing directly opposite her are Lei Xiao and his party.
The Fuyue family token in Lei Xiao's hand was of course given by Faxia, the heir to the family.
"It turns out...it's you!"
After seeing Lei Xiao's face clearly, he was stunned for a moment.
The face of one of the middle-aged commanders suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he blurted out: "This young master.
It's the big shot who helped Miss Faxia clear all her huge debts at the alchemist conference in Gelin City!"
As soon as these words came out, looks of shock appeared on the faces of both Carol and another middle-aged commander.
The soldiers beside him also had awe-inspiring expressions, and Lei Xiao invariably cast awe-inspiring looks.
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 is the total profit of the entire city for more than ten years!
At that time, although Lei Xiao was operating in the name of Faxia himself.
However, the discerning people in Shuiyue City all understand clearly.
Behind this family heir who is famous for his willfulness, there must be a huge and powerful force!
"So, is this young man with a calm expression in front of me the leader of that huge force..."
Realizing this, a hint of irrepressible respect suddenly appeared on Carol's sassy face.
She quickly waved away the ordinary soldiers around her, and then went up to them with two other middle-aged commanders.
On the other side, Lei Xiao was a little surprised to see the middle-aged commander recognize him directly, but he soon understood.
"I see.
I remember that at the Alchemist Conference in Gelin City, Fa Xia, in addition to his personal maid A Bing, had another third-level powerhouse as a guard."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully and thought to himself: "Although I haven't had any communication with the other party, my impression is not very deep.
But if I recall carefully, the other third-level strong guard is undoubtedly this middle-aged commander."
"Sir, let me introduce myself again. Captain Gerry of Shuiyue City's First Guards Army Brigade. See you, sir!"
Directly opposite, I saw the middle-aged commander bearing the brunt of the attack, bowing to Lei Xiao and saying, "Thank you, sir, for your help to our Shuiyue City!"
"Shuiyue City's Second Guards Brigade, Captain Carol, please see me, sir!"
"Shuiyue City's third garrison brigade, captain Crewe, see you, sir!"
Immediately afterwards, 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, they naturally have no other thoughts except respect for Lei Xiao who helped Faxia completely clear his debts.
After all, if Lei Xiao had not appeared, the City Lord's Mansion would have been in a state of fiscal deficit for many years.
Once they are impeached by the family council of elders, based on 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.
Then he said seriously: "I have witnessed with my own eyes the sudden disappearance of the City Lord's Mansion and the island where it is located.
The top priority now is to find the reason for the disappearance as soon as possible.
Next, describe to me everything you know about the situation and the unusual things that happened during this period."
"Understood, sir, let's start with the abnormal situation that occurred during this period."
On the other side, 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.
Next, 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 never been seen before.
First, 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 the reason cannot 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 window breaking, but they could not find the source of the sound.
Fourth, recently in the city, many of the warblers raised by people have disappeared inexplicably.
"Also, to be honest with you, sir, these things were just summarized by the few of us."
At this time, Gerry shook his head helplessly, and then continued: "Of these four items, except for the first one, it is something that the Lord of the City knows.
The remaining three items were all reported to our garrison by residents in the city. Although a series of investigations were conducted, they did not attract much attention."
"That's right, it wasn't until the City Lord's Mansion disappeared that we realized belatedly that maybe there was some kind of potential connection."
On the other side, Carol also sighed softly, and then said: "If we could connect these things earlier and report to the Lord of the City.
Maybe, the city lord will find some clues."
"Speaking of which, sir, although the three of us have combined all the abnormal situations that have occurred recently.
But he is still confused and cannot find the connection at all." Then, Gerry looked at each other helplessly with the other two captains, and then added.
"That's it." After hearing this, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin.
While muttering 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 the knotweed, Ye Cang, Chao Yan and others: "I wonder what you guys have on this?"
"My lord, judging from the current situation, it is difficult to make an accurate judgment.
It is also impossible to analyze whether there is a potential connection between these four things.
Perhaps, part of it is related to the disappearance of the City Lord's Mansion, while the other part is completely caused by other things."
Ye Cang pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and responded: "Among them, the most intuitive thing is the abnormal energy fluctuations in the air.
However, everything around us is normal now, making this impossible to understand intuitively."
"Indeed."
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then asked the three Shuiyue City garrison captains in front of him: "About the abnormal fluctuations that occur from time to time.
When will it appear approximately? Is there any pattern?"
"Sir, it's usually at noon and midnight, and it will only last for a short period of time." Hearing this, Gerry immediately replied: "In the beginning, including the Lord of the City.
We all thought that it was just a certain magician or alchemist in the city who was studying some kind of rare spell. We just dispatched a team of elite magicians in the city to conduct further monitoring.
However, due to abnormal energy fluctuations, the duration was very short.
Therefore, 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 into the matter, the City Lord's Mansion disappeared together with the island where it was located."
Having said this, Gerry swallowed uneasily, then looked at the blue sky above his head, and 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, a change suddenly occurred.
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 with large stones, stirring up waves higher than the previous waves.
Immediately afterwards, on the turbulent lake surface, strange-shaped black shadows suddenly appeared. At a glance, there were more than twenty in number.
Upon closer inspection, among the huge waves, these figures turned out to be pure black stone giants.
I saw that the giants were all about 3 meters tall. Under the bright sunlight, their bodies exuded a strange dark light.
Moreover, strange purple lines are constantly flashing 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 the strength of these stone men has 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!"
Immediately afterwards, while the three men bowed slightly to Lei Xiao again, they began to direct the surrounding squadrons of garrison soldiers to form formations.
At the same time, several garrison magicians 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."
On the other side, Chao Yan’s little face was full of sternness as he said, “However, my subordinates have never heard of this kind of black stone giant before.
Moreover, it is certain that the energy fluctuations on it are very strange, and there are no records even in the large attic library of the Magic Tower."
"Lord, my subordinates did not feel the energy fluctuations emitted when summoning the golem puppet.
It seems that these black stone giants were not just summoned." Then, Ye Cang's voice also reached Lei Xiao's ears.
"Lord, apart from these golem puppets, my subordinates have not noticed the auras of other powerful people.
It seems that their controller is not here." Finally, Hezhuang bowed slightly and reported.
"So that's it. 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? It seems that things are getting more and more complicated."
Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao looked at the black stone giants who had rushed to the shore one by one and began to attack the garrison soldiers indiscriminately. Lei Xiao looked solemn and said lightly: "So.
The top priority now is to help the soldiers in Shuiyue City to clean up all these uninvited guests."
"As you command! Lord!"
Upon hearing this, except for the tiger stick, the rest of the powerful men on our side immediately turned into meteors and rushed straight towards the black stone giants.
