Due to the continuous heavy rain, construction on the two islands could only be suspended. People hid in their houses and prayed that the heavy rain would stop soon.
Shiloh finally had some leisure these days. Apart from occasionally going to the training ground to torture himself, he drank juice, read books, and experienced the life of an aristocratic gentleman.
Hey, this is life, it would be even better if there were a few beautiful maids to tease you with.
However, there is always a time limit for leisurely life. When Shiloh was preparing to enjoy today's petty bourgeoisie life, his knight commander Connor walked into the study with a pulled face.
"Your Highness."
As soon as Shiloh saw Connor's face, he knew that nothing good had happened. He sighed, put down the book he had just picked up, and asked, "What happened again?"
Connor had a stern look on his face and said, "Your Highness, something strange happened at the dock last night."
"Our sailor has disappeared."
Shiloh was stunned and hurriedly asked: "Disappeared? What is the specific situation? Please tell me in detail."
Connor nodded and explained what happened.
It turns out that there have been heavy rains recently, and many construction projects in Stormwind City have been suspended. Basically everyone has returned to Stormwind City to live, except for the port dock, where 10 sailors were left for maintenance.
But early this morning, when the knights were doing their routine inspection, they found that there was no one in the dock.
"Those ten sailors were still in the dock yesterday. I don't know what happened that night, but they just disappeared."
It disappeared last night...that was less than 12 hours ago.
Shiloh frowned, pondered for a moment, and said: "Arrange manpower immediately and let's go to the dock to investigate carefully."
Connor nodded and transferred a team of ten knights. To ensure safety, Shiloh called all his system soldiers on board, and a group of 31 people rushed towards the dock.
The sky was gray and there was no sunshine.
The heavy rain was tilting, and raindrops the size of soybeans poured down. Even with the raincoat draped around him, Shiloh still felt that his whole body was soaked.
Under the rain, the port dock and Stormwind City seemed to be in two different worlds.
"Your Highness, we are here."
The built dock appeared dimly in Shiloh's sight. It was completely dark and without a trace of fire. When Shiloh and others arrived, it was silent and lifeless.
Shiloh glanced around and found no signs of fighting. He walked to the living room and opened the door gently.
"squeak--"
The wooden door let out a heavy groan and was pushed inward little by little.
Everything looked normal to the eye. The sailors' daily utensils were placed in an integrated manner. The bedding on the ten wooden beds was messy. The heating stove had just been extinguished and there was still a trace of warmth.
Shiloh walked into the room with a serious expression.
"Check for any blood, or any strange signs."
He walked to the stove and reached out to pick up the iron kettle placed on the stove. The water in it was still warm, and it looked like the sailors planned to drink it the next day.
The knights were silent and walked into the room to check carefully. After a while, they reported to Shiloh that everything was normal.
Hilo asked everyone to expand the search area and check the entire dock.
Did these sailors just disappear from the world?
Connor sent someone to start a fire, and the beating flames brought a touch of warmth to the cold room. Shiloh held his head and said: "Connor, look at the marks on these beddings. It's like getting out of bed. They pull up naturally.
Open the quilt and leave the room..."
"What on earth happened to make ten men disappear without a trace?"
"Subordinate... I don't know."
After a while, the knights who went out to check also came back, but still found nothing.
"Your Highness, the wind and rain are very strong. Even if there are any traces, they have been washed away long ago."
Shiloh nodded, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes, and said: "Connor, it seems we will stay here for the night."
"I want to see what kind of monsters dare to touch my people."
………………
Ten people suddenly disappeared, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
Shiloh looked extremely unhappy and the atmosphere was quite dull.
In order to investigate what exactly happened, a group of 31 people crowded into the dock and waited for night to fall.
Shiloh was careful and mixed the system soldiers and knights into one team, arranged the order of vigil, and everyone took turns to rest.
Probably late at night, just after midnight, Shiloh suddenly heard a hazy singing sound in his sleep.
This burst of singing is sometimes lingering and sweet, sometimes strange and unpredictable, and captivating.
The singing was mixed in the storm, far and near, and erratic. It seemed to contain extremely deep emotions, and it suddenly captured Herode's heart tightly.
There seems to be a voice in the bottom of my heart, calling Shiloh to follow her, to escape from the suffering world and pursue the eternal paradise.
Shiloh was in a daze, barely able to control his body, and was about to get up from the bed and walk out. At this moment, in his ears, the system notification tone suddenly rang like an alarm bell.
[Ding...you are charmed by the song of wind and rain]
[Charm is invalid]
[Ding...you are charmed by the song of wind and rain]
[Charm is invalid]
[Ding...you are charmed by the song of wind and rain]
[Charm is invalid]
This sound of notifications woke up the dazed Shiloh. He was stunned and realized that he had climbed out of bed and walked out of the door.
"Fuck!"
Shiloh broke out in a cold sweat. He looked closely and saw that including Connor and the ten knights, their eyes were dull and they were slowly walking towards the door step by step. The person on the outside had already put his hand on the door.
On top of the door latch.
The system soldiers seemed to have been hit, but as Herod regained consciousness, the soldiers' eyes flickered for a few times before returning to normal.
"Stop them!"
Shiloh roared, and the system soldiers immediately moved to pull the knights' bodies one by one.
However, these knights didn't know what kind of evil they were possessed at this time, and they couldn't wake up no matter how much they called. Hilo had no choice but to order them to be knocked unconscious and their hands and feet tied.
