Chapter 238 Phantom Mirage and Ancient Battlefield

"Good guy, I went to Mailan Town this time to find clues to the disappearance of Kumbu, but after being involved in the internal strife of the Zelan family, I almost forgot the protagonist Kumbu in the end."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.

Seeing that he did not hesitate, he immediately described the ins and outs of the Kunbu incident with Xuan Yue in detail.

"Please rest assured, my lord, this subordinate will send someone to conduct a thorough investigation in the city!"

Xuan Yue bowed to accept the order, immediately called Bai Guo to her side, and gave the order.

Since it was almost noon, Lei Xiao didn't do anything else, and simply stayed in the castle temporarily waiting for news.

Seeing that the lord was going to stay here for dinner, Xuan Yue didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly prepared lunch herself.

So far, the internal fighting in Mailan Town has come to an end.

With Lei Xiao's strong intervention, he not only successfully quelled the rebellion of the three elders, but also saved the lives of Xuan Yue, Bai Guo, and the old city lord.

And from now on, Mailan Town has officially come under Lei Xiao's rule, becoming the second town under Lei Xiao.

With this agricultural town, not only the grain reserves of the territory can be further expanded.

Moreover, including a well-trained cavalry brigade, three full-staffed garrison brigades were added, which can be said to have greatly enhanced Lei Xiao's military strength.

"In this way, the two cities of Mailan Town and Kongqing Town, which are also located on the plain, undoubtedly form a defensive barrier that acts like horns, further ensuring the security of the territory in the forest!"

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help rubbing his hands excitedly.

In this way, after Lei Xiao and the others had finished their rather delicate and delicious lunch, the investigation on Kumbu in the city had already come to fruition.

"My lord, my subordinates have sent people to search all the hotels, taverns, and dungeons in the city, and have questioned the soldiers of the garrison who have been on duty for the past few days, but they have not found any trace of Mr. Kumbu."

Standing in front of the dining table, Xuan Yue stroked her chest and saluted, and said: "It is now confirmed that Mr. Kunbu's caravan has not arrived in Mailan Town."

"It seems that the scope of Kumbu's disappearance can be further narrowed."

Lei Xiao nodded silently, and asked again: "The other businessmen and travelers staying in Mailan Town, do you have any news worth paying attention to?"

"Return to Lord Lord, this subordinate is about to report this matter."

Xuan Yue still maintained her saluting posture, and responded: "After the investigation by Bai Guo and others, I learned that there seemed to be a sudden phantom mirage around the ruins of the ancient battlefield about two days away from Mailan Town. That is the only way for Mr. Kombu to get here."

"Phantom mirage..."

Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

With a better understanding of this world, Lei Xiao has already learned.

The so-called phantom is not created by illusionists, but a phantom formed naturally, somewhat similar to the mirage of previous lives.

It is full of danger and uncertainty.

For ordinary business travelers or low-level powerhouses, once they enter by mistake, it is very difficult to get out smoothly.

However, for powerhouses above Tier 3, the influence of Phantom Mirage becomes extremely limited.

After all, it is different from the illusionist's manipulation and arrangement, this is just a special phenomenon formed naturally.

"My lord, it seems that Kumbu and the others must have been affected by the phantom and lost their way."

Lin pondered for a moment, then bowed and said, "When the phantom mirage first erupted, it also had the widest range of influence. The young man who came behind avoided this period of time and was able to pass through the area smoothly. .”

Lin paused for a moment, then added with frowned eyebrows: "Many phantom mirages only affect people when they are very close. The young man who was in a hurry obviously didn't notice this."

"It's very likely."

Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and began to think again.

As for the ruins of the ancient battlefield, I knew a little bit about it after listening to Lin's report on the surrounding area.

It is said that thousands of years ago, a great war broke out there.

But other than that, there is no record at all about the identities of the warring parties, the cause of the war, and the final result.

For hundreds of years, countless human historians have gone there one after another to investigate and study.

However, in the end, not even a skeleton or a piece of equipment was found.

As a result, many people have doubts about whether it is an ancient battlefield relic or not, and express their opinions.

To this day, it is still a hot topic of debate in the archaeological circles of the human nations.

"Thinking about it this way, this ancient battlefield relic is likely to be related to the blank age 3,000 years ago that Jiang Li mentioned before."

Lei Xiao frowned, and continued to think: "As an ancient battlefield, there are no traces left on the battlefield, which is really incredible."

"Forget it, my purpose this time is just to find Kumbu. As for other things, it has nothing to do with me for the time being."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao's brows relaxed, and he put these things behind him: "As my strength grows stronger, when the time is right, everything will naturally be solved."

Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.

On the side of Chaoyan's small face, a look of anticipation appeared involuntarily.

I saw her blinking her iconic big eyes, walked over with small steps and said: "My lord, my subordinates have learned various methods of breaking illusions and mirages in the Magic Tower, especially the magic mirage class." , and was awarded as the pacesetter magician of that session, and the task of breaking the phantom is left to the subordinates!"

Ye Cang also pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, stroked the metal skull necklace on his neck, and echoed: "My lord, it happens that my subordinates also have a lot of research on mirages, so they should be able to help."

"very good."

Hearing the confident voices of the two subordinates, Lei Xiao nodded in satisfaction.

Just this morning, after being blessed by Shen Banxia, ​​the storage ring [Golden Pupil] that I was wearing, just got a special effect that can increase illusion resistance.

And in the storage bracelet, there are more than 100 Fengmu Pills that can see through the effects of low-level illusions.

Coupled with Ye Cang and Chao Yan, the two powerful magicians under his command, it can be said that he is fully prepared.

"Xuanyue, I'll leave it to you here. If you have anything to do, please contact me through Nianhua in time, and I will be there as soon as possible."

Nodding to the young master of the Zelan family who was disguised as a man, Lei Xiao turned around and said to the other subordinates: "Okay, then let's go."

"The target this time is the ruins of the ancient battlefield!"
