The decoration here is exquisite, and the crystal stones embedded in the walls are shining brightly.
In 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.
嘤嘤啾!
At the same time, a soft cry sounded.
There were also a large number of chirping orioles, flapping their wings, following everyone and breaking away from the barrier area of the Winged Human Race just now.
Obviously they are the pet birds that mistakenly entered the barrier before.
"Lord, this is the meeting hall of the Lord's Mansion of Shuiyue City!"
On the other side, Fa Xia looked around, his eyes lit up, and he bowed slightly to Lei Xiao and said: "It seems that the City Lord's Mansion has indeed returned to its original state!"
"So, does the entrance to the 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 nodded slightly and watched as all the orioles with bright feathers flew out of the window. Then he said to the subordinates beside him: "Okay, let's go out and take a look first."
In this way, surrounded by subordinates, he walked straight out of the hall, Lei Xiao noticed.
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 entire city lord's palace is undergoing large-scale renovation and cleaning work after experiencing a series of inexplicable events.
Next, under Faxia's guidance, Lei Xiao quickly came to the edge of a balcony from the castle leading to the outdoors.
Standing on the balcony and looking around, Lei Xiao discovered.
This sky-blue castle, together with the island on which it is located, has indeed been restored to its original state and reappeared on the island lake in the center of Shuiyue City.
At this time, 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, making everything sparkle with caramel color.
Such a scene is set against the Gothic architectural style city streets in the distance that are also rendered in orange.
It makes everything look quite emotional, making people feel relaxed and happy.
"Sir, you are back!"
Just when Lei Xiao saw this.
I saw Faxia's father, the city lord Ed, approaching with three elders, including the great elder.
They all bowed and saluted and said: "Thank you, sir, for saving all the clan members and hundreds of soldiers and slaves in our Lord's Mansion of Shuiyue City!"
"No need to be polite." Lei Xiao waved slightly to a few people and asked casually: "How is the current situation in the City Lord's Mansion and the city?"
"Sir, 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 your timely action, all losses were minimized."
"Very good." He nodded slightly, and Lei Xiao took Ed and all his subordinates alone and walked back to the hall just now.
"Japanese 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 next to him.
"Yes, sir." The next second, 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 energy waves emanating from the knotweed, Ed swallowed involuntarily and was speechless for a while.
At that time, when the young man rushed to the city lord's palace to help, Ed had already noticed the extraordinary strength of the knotweed.
It seems that he has at least reached the strength of a fourth-level senior expert, and judging from the current situation.
This young adult obviously did not fully display the strong energy under his command.
"It's really unfathomable... I didn't expect that this girl Xia Xia would actually 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 a while, after listening to Faxia's introduction.
Ed, whose face was full of shock, knelt down on one knee without any hesitation and lowered his head deeply to Lei Xiao.
This young adult not only helped him solve his financial crisis, but also avoided being impeached by the Great Elders' faction, and saved Shuiyue City from an unnecessary bloody storm.
Moreover, just now, he was still in the barrier area and once again saved their entire Fuyue family from fire and water. This was undoubtedly equivalent to twice that his family and life were spared.
The most important thing is that his 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.
All in all, in the face of such a big man who owes so much kindness, how can we not do our best?
"Very good, let's start signing the contract."
On the other side, 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-order 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 3 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."
Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao's mind moved.
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!" The other side took the fourth-level staff from Lei Xiao, and the joy on Ed's face was beyond words.
Staffs of the fourth level can often be sold at major auctions for nearly one million gold dragons, which shows their value!
It can be seen from this that the lord has not given a staff but a family heirloom!
As for the storage ring, not to mention, the only one in the Fuyue family has already been given to Faxia as a birthday gift.
After all, before this, Shuiyue City had been in a state of internal 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 embarrassment.
"It's just a trivial matter." Lei Xiao smiled slightly, thought for a moment, and with a 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 streaks of rainbow-colored halo.
"I have observed before that Shuiyue City's two second-order guards squadrons are an archer squadron and a heavy infantry squadron."
Then, after receiving a positive reply from Ed, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Here are 100 sets of third-level leather armor and third-level longbows, as well as 100 sets of third-level heavy armor, third-level long guns, and third-level longbows.
Large shield.
Just give it back to the two Guards squadrons and gradually change their equipment within a reasonable range."
There is no doubt that it is different from the remote Kongqing Town.
As a tourist city, Shuiyue 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 definitely attract the attention of other surrounding cities and even the Leng Yan royal family.
Therefore, this degree naturally needs to be grasped well.
On the other side, 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?
All in all, with these equipment, the overall strength of Shuiyue City's two second-order guard squadrons will undoubtedly be greatly improved!
Thinking of this, Ed quickly bowed again and said: "I understand, Lord, please rest assured.
The subordinates know what to do and will select the most elite soldiers first, starting with their 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 slightly, and learned some other information about Shuiyue City from Ed.
I learned that there are currently only two second-tier elite squadrons.
Shuiyue City also has three garrison brigades and one Shuiyue City garrison reserve brigade.
Among them, there is also an established cavalry brigade.
And that reserve brigade was the soldiers who had been temporarily disbanded due to lack of funds.
"I see." After learning this, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Let's expand the strength of Shuiyue City's garrison to the level of four brigades as soon as possible.
After this, we will train more new soldiers and strive to reach the garrison strength of five brigades. If the funds are insufficient, please contact me at any time."
"Yes, Lord!" Hearing this, 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 nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then said: "By the way, the news about the barrier area today must be sealed.
Do you have any good suggestions about this?"
After hearing this, Ed pondered for a while, and then responded: "Back to Lord, in the history of Shuiyue City, there have been several small-scale temporary mirages.
So much so that a situation similar to today's has occurred. Therefore, my subordinates thought.
This time, it can be claimed that a small-scale mirage incident also occurred, which caused the entire city lord's palace to disappear in its original position."
"Very good, let's do it."
Nodding with satisfaction, Lei Xiao walked slowly in the hall and continued: "Currently, the barrier area of the Winged Human Race has completely returned to normal.
As for the location of the entrance, you already have a sense of it, right? It's in this 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 barrier area must also be carried out, after all, there are still a large number of areas that have not yet been explored."
"Yes! Lord, please rest assured!" On the other side, Ed immediately bowed and responded: "As long as there is time, my subordinate will personally lead his confidants to investigate.
In normal times, 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 barrier area, be sure to report it to me as soon as possible."
At this time, Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and then briefly told Ed about his current situation, including Ariel and his party, as well as his current plans.
On the other side, after listening to Lei Xiao's calm tone but full of explosive news, Ed was stunned for a long time before he reacted again.
Then he said: "Lord, so to speak, another important reason for your trip is to understand the situation of General Holy Light Ju Bai?"
"Yes, that's right." Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and while walking back to the throne, he said, "I wonder if City Lord Ed knows anything about this?"
"Back to the lord, as far as my subordinates know, this Holy Light General is orange and white, although he comes from a family of earls in Leng Yan.
But her true identity is actually the adopted daughter of this earl family. She is not related by blood, and she is an ordinary commoner.
It’s just that I don’t know the specific situation.” On the other side, Edmo rubbed his neatly trimmed chin, pondered for a moment, and then responded.
"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."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then ordered to Ed: "Okay, let's call in Carol who used to work under him.
Let us take a closer look at what is so special about this young and beautiful Holy Light General."
