Chapter 3172 Investigation
Yes, the city in front of me is really a bit strange. The city of Loperance is obviously in the territory of the Human Race Empire, but it really doesn't look like a human city. The architectural style is completely different. What's even more strange is a black mountain not far outside the city. Not to mention the strange color of this mountain, it is too abrupt to appear here. This side is obviously the terrain of the plain, the surrounding area is flat, and then there is a black mountain here for no reason, which doesn't look right no matter how you look at it.
Although Li Huailin has never been here before, he can guess that this place must not have looked like this before, which is really too conspicuous. If this is the case, it should be that this Lagarde became the current situation after being sealed here, and I don't know what this guy is doing.
While thinking, Li Huailin has already flown over the city. What makes people feel uneasy is that the entire city below is silent, as if no one lives in it at all. This situation is obviously not good. Li Huailin is a little worried that something happened. Of course, the people in the city don’t care. What Li Huailin is worried about is Lagarde. It’s okay if this guy is dead. If people can't be found and don't know where to go, then it's really troublesome.
Li Huailin lowered his altitude and also saw the situation in the city. Yes, there really wasn't any living people in the city, not just living people, there wasn't even a moving thing, but Li Huailin couldn't see any dead bodies in the city. In addition, what Li Huailin saw was that all the buildings and grounds in the entire city seemed to be covered with a layer of black asphalt, which is why Li Huailin looked a bit like the undead in the air The feeling of the city, after all, the cities of the human race are generally white and gold-based urban style, and the whole city of the undead will be dark.
Flying around, Li Huailin did not find anyone, not a single living person, including not even a player, which is really strange. Yes, it's okay if the npc is gone, but it's very strange if there are no players. Isn't this place strange? When players see this strange place, don't they want to come over to see if there are any hidden missions or the like?
Of course, the most important thing is the City Lord's Mansion. The person Li Huailin was looking for was Lagarde, so Li Huailin soon found the most similar courtyard in the city to the City Lord's Mansion. After looking at it a little bit, he still didn't find any activity. There should be no traces of people, which is very troublesome. Sure enough, Lagarde is also gone.
"What should I do?" Li Huailin said with a headache. Of course, he was talking to the summoning Jade Emperor next to him. After all, there are two people now, so they can still discuss what to do.
"Let's ask a living person first, there should be people in the nearby villages." The summoning Jade Emperor here thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, we still have time."
Li Huailin is indeed a little anxious, after all, the trial is going to be done in the afternoon, and now I feel that the time is really too late. Originally, I thought about doing the simplest thing first, so how fast would it be to fly over and kill someone? It definitely wouldn't take long.
The result was this trouble. Before I knew it, I would have carefully arranged for Lagarde to stay in the Duke's mansion, so I don't need to be so troublesome now.
"Let's go." There is really no one here, and there is no way but to figure out what happened here. So Li Huailin also took off directly, looking for any villages nearby, and asking if anyone knew what problems happened in this city.
But just after taking off, Li Huailin suddenly remembered something. Compared to looking for people around, isn't there something more suspicious here? That’s right, it’s the black mountain outside the city. This is really a strange thing. I didn’t even look at it when I was in a hurry to find someone in the city. Of course, I still have to look at it now.
"Go and see that thing first." Li Huailin pointed directly at the black mountain peak outside the city and said, summoning the Jade Emperor of course also nodded, and the two quickly took off directly and flew in the direction of Montenegro.
Coming to the sky above the black mountain, Li Huailin took a closer look, and sure enough, the surface of the black mountain here is also covered with a layer of black oily substance, which makes this thing black, which is similar to the situation in the city . This thing is really not very good at first glance. Although I don't know what it is, it is also hard to touch.
Li Huailin turned around the black mountain directly, but he didn't find that there seemed to be an entrance. Yes, Li Huailin thinks that this thing may have been a building before, but it is now covered by black mud, so I looked for it to see if I could go in, and whether Lagarde was inside it, etc. But no entrance was found, so I don't know what to do.
Li Huailin thought about whether he wanted to attack this thing directly. If it was a building, then he would break his wall and rush in to have a look. But after thinking about it, he decided not to act rashly. After calling the Jade Emperor to remind him before, Li Huailin also knew that he was a little impatient, and he was a little more cautious in this state of not knowing what the situation was.
"It's better to check around a little bit." Li Hualin thought for a while and said.
"Well, I saw that there seems to be a road outside the city. Along the road, you should be able to find nearby villages." Summoning Jade Emperor said, I have to say that professional players reacted quickly, and Summoning Jade Emperor quickly found it. train of thought. Of course Li Huailin also nodded. Both of them were flying very fast, and they started to look for them along the road. Sure enough, they got something soon.
"Over there, it seems to be a village." Summoning Jade Emperor said, pointing to the front.
Of course Li Huailin also saw it, and the two of them flew directly over the village at the same speed, but the situation seemed to be not good, because they saw a mess just after arriving above the village.
Yes, something happened to this village, or something happened in the past. The village was quiet, and then many houses seemed to have been destroyed, with all kinds of messy things spread on the ground, and the whole village seemed to have just been robbed by thieves and the like. Of course, it seemed that it was just a robbery. Li Huailin and the others still didn't see any corpses.
"What's the situation?" Li Hualin was a little curious. He was only here to kill Lagarde, but he didn't expect to encounter such a miraculous situation. This really makes people wonder what the situation is.
"Will there be a hidden mission?" Summoning the Jade Emperor asked.
"Is there really a hidden mission?" Li Huailin said that he had been ridiculing those players who thought there were hidden missions everywhere. Is the hidden mission so easy to find? In the end, I didn't expect that I really encountered it casually. The current situation does look a bit like a hidden mission.
"Do it?" Summoning the Jade Emperor asked.
"I don't want to do the task, but I have to find someone now, so I have no choice but to do it." Li Huailin said, "Anyway, go down and see the situation first."
The two landed quickly, and then began to search for them in the village. Yes, although this village looks deserted, it is different from the previous city, where all the people in the previous city seemed to disappear suddenly, but here is a mess, there is a connection between the two Big difference, so it's obvious where to look for clues.
"There is blood." Soon they found a clue, yes, they saw blood after they came down, but it was the kind of black blood that had been dried for a long time, it seems that the time of what happened here was a bit long.
"It seems that someone attacked this village, and then the villagers here resisted." The summoning Jade Emperor next to him said, "Does the trace look like man-made, bandits or something?"
"This seems to be still in my territory, and there are bandits?" Li Huailin touched his head, "Isn't it good for them to go to the Terran Empire to be bandits? Why did they come to my side to be bandits, and they were caught? Die worse?"
"What brains are you talking about with bandits? They will go wherever there is money." Summoning the Jade Emperor said.
"The problem is that the people in my territory have no money. My tnd has collected 70% of the tax. Generally, the poor farmers will starve to death. What can the bandits rob here?" Li Huailin spread his hands , "I don't think it's a bandit."
"What is that?" Summoning Jade Emperor asked.
"It should be... a soldier." Li Huailin thought for a while and said,
"Soldier?" Summoning the Jade Emperor, he was stunned for a moment, "You said he was a soldier from the city?"
"Yeah, the possibility of bandits appearing in my territory is not very high. Even if they do appear, it would be too exaggerated to appear bandits so close to the government here, so it is more likely Soldiers in the city." Li Huailin pointed to the direction they flew in just now while speaking, "It should be the soldiers in the city over there. For what purpose they attacked the village here, it should be an order from the city lord."
"So sure?" Summoning Jade Emperor asked.
"Yes, this is the decisive evidence." Li Huailin pointed to a belt on the ground and said, it was a broken belt with a break in the middle, so it was probably thrown here, "This belt is obviously not a peasant The belt I used was the standard belt of a soldier, and it was probably torn off when the peasants resisted..."
"Hmm." Summoning the Jade Emperor nodded, "The analysis is very good, and then... what do you think the identity of that person over there is?"
Li Huailin looked in the direction where the summoned Jade Emperor was pointing, only to see a guy in leather armor looking at them from the corner next to them, and seeing the two pointing, the man turned around and ran away.
"Fuck..." Li Huailin became angry from embarrassment, "This tn is very embarrassing."
