Chapter 481: Chapter 365: Ed’s Loyalty_2

In short, how could he not dedicate himself to such a powerful figure who had shown him tremendous kindness?

“Very well, let’s begin the contract signing.”

On the other side, Leo Ray, who slowly got off his throne with a smile, produced a Tier 3 Recruitment Order in his palm and directly began to sign a Master-Servant Contract.

Shortly after, a pleasant notification sound rang in Leo Ray’s ears.

[Congratulations, Tier 3 Nine Stars Moonlight Magician Adams Frost has signed a Master-Servant Contract with you and become a new subordinate of yours!]

Satisfied, Leo Ray opened the other party’s Attribute Column.

[Name: Adams]

[Occupation: Moonlight Mage]

[Rank: Tier 3 Nine Stars]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Skill One: Moon’s Prayer「Active」(Moon Attribute Single-target Healing, quickly recovers the target’s injuries, and continuously restores over time)]

[Skill Two: Moon Spear Thrust「Active」(Moon Attribute Small Area Magic Group Attack, attached with Shield-breaking Effect and Armor-breaking Effect)]

[Skill Three: Moon Attribute Magic Mastery「Passive」(When using Moon Attribute Magic, increases damage significantly)]

After closing Adams’ Attribute Column, Leo Ray bent down to help him up.

“Take these as a welcoming gift from me.”

Next, Leo Ray moved his mind.

A brand new Storage Ring and an impressive Tier 4 Level Magic Wand emerged and were subsequently handed to Adams.

“Thank you, My Lord!” Taking the Tier 4 Magic Wand handed over by Leo Ray, Adams’s joyful expression could not be hidden.

The value of a Tier 4 Level Wand can be seen as it often sells for nearly a million Gold Dragons at various auctions!

It is clear that Lord has given more than a wand, but a family heirloom!

As for the Storage Ring, there is no need to mention that since the Frost family’s only one had already been given to Orion Wolfe as a birthday present.

After all, before this, Mystara City had been in a year-long family internal opposition, and they had also cultivated Orion, an alchemist.

Despite being the lord of a city, the real financial situation of Adams could only be described as difficult.

“It’s just a small thing.” Slightly smiling, Leo Ray pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, and 200 sets of shimmering Tier 3 Equipment were spread all over the ground.

For a time, the entire hall became colorful, and even the walls were illuminated with rainbow-colored halos.

“Before, I noticed that Mystara City has two Tier 2 Royal Guard squads, an Archer squad and a Heavy Infantry squad.”

Then, after getting a positive answer from Adams, Leo Ray smiled faintly and said, “Here are 100 sets of Tier 3 Leather Armor and Tier 3 Longbows, as well as 100 sets of Tier 3 Heavy Armor, Tier 3 Long Spears, and Tier 3 Large Shields.

You can gradually replace their equipment within a reasonable range for the two Royal Guard squads.”

Undoubtedly, unlike the remote Cyan Town,

Mystara City, a playground city, is closer to the heartland of the Coldflame Kingdom.

Large-scale high-profile replacement of equipment will inevitably attract the attention of surrounding cities and even the Coldflame Royal Family.

Therefore, the balance must be well-mastered.

On the other hand, looking at the extremely valuable Tier 3 equipment in front of him, Adams swallowed hard, hardly believing his eyes.

Perhaps only the Coldflame Royal Family and the top aristocratic families, such as the Sanders family, could equip a Tier Second Royal Guard squad with Tier 3 Equipment!

In short, with this equipment, the overall strength of the two Tier 2 Royal Guard squads in Mystara City will undoubtedly be greatly improved!With that thought, Adams hurriedly bowed again and said, “Understood, please rest assured, my Lord.

I know what to do. I will first select the most elite soldiers, starting with the weapons, and replace them in batches.

This way, we can further improve the enthusiasm and loyalty of the soldiers!”

“Very good.” Nodding slightly, Leo Ray asked Adams about other matters concerning Mystara City.

He learned that in addition to the two Tier 2 Elite Squadrons.

Mystara City also has three Defense Army Corps and a Mystara City Defense Army Reserve Corps.

Among them, there is even a fully-formed Cavalry Corps.

As for the reserve corps, they were the soldiers who had been temporarily disbanded due to lack of funds.

“I see.” Understanding this, Leo Ray pondered for a moment and then said, “Expand Mystara City’s defense forces back to the level of four large corps as soon as possible.

After that, train some new soldiers to strive for a defense force of five large corps. If the funds are insufficient, just find me.”

“Yes, my Lord!” Adams nodded and said, “We still have a lot of the two million Gold Dragons you gave us before, my Lord. You don’t need to worry about the financing issues.”

“Very good.” Leo Ray nodded slightly and, after thinking for a moment, continued, “By the way, be sure to block the news of today’s incident in the Barrier Area.

Do you have any good suggestions for this?”

Hearing this, Adams pondered for a while before responding, “My Lord, in the history of Mystara City, there have been several small-scale, short-lived Mirage events.

As a result, situations similar to today have also occurred. Therefore, I suggest that we declare that a small-scale Mirage event occurred this time, causing the entire City Lord’s Mansion to disappear from its original position.”

“Very well, let’s do that.”

Nodding with satisfaction, Leo Ray paced slowly around the hall, continuing, “At present, the Winged People’s Barrier Area has been fully restored to normal.

As for the entrance’s location, you have already sensed it, haven’t you? It’s right here in this hall.

Furthermore, the power supply of those advanced Magic Puppets has been completely removed, losing any dangers and allowing for normal exploration.

Therefore, while advancing the above-mentioned important matters, the investigation of the Barrier Area must also be carried out, as there are still large areas yet to be explored.”

“Yes! Please rest assured, my Lord!” On the other side, Adams immediately bowed and replied, “As soon as there is time, I will personally lead my trusted subordinates to investigate.

During normal times, this place will be completely sealed off, strictly forbidden for anyone to enter or leave.”

“Very good, be sure to report to me immediately whenever you discover anything new within the Barrier Area.”

At this point, Leo Ray nodded slightly and then briefly informed Adams of his current situation, including Ariel Watson and her companions, as well as his current plans.

On the other hand, it took Adams quite a while to process the explosive information he had just heard, delivered in Leo Ray’s calm tone, before finally responding.

He then asked, “My Lord, does this mean that one of the main reasons for your trip is to learn about the situation of Holy Light General Joshua?”

“That’s right, exactly.” Nodding slightly, Leo Ray walked back towards the throne and continued, “On this matter, do you have any knowledge of this City Lord Adams?”

“My Lord, as far as I know, although this Holy Light General Joshua comes from a count’s family in Coldflame, her true identity is actually the foster daughter of the count’s family, not of blood relation, and of ordinary civilian background.

However, I don’t have much detailed information about it.” Adams stroked his neatly trimmed beard and chin, pondered for a moment, and responded.

“Oh? As the adopted daughter of a noble family, she managed to climb all the way up to one of the Coldflame Eight Major Kingdom Generals’ high positions? It seems that this Joshua has even more cunning than I thought.”

Hearing this, Leo Ray raised an eyebrow and instructed Adams, “Alright, let’s call Kara, who once served under her, to come in.

Let’s see what makes this young and beautiful Holy Light General Joshua so special.”
