Chapter 22 Tracking
The problems in the towns under the Tort Mountains were discovered a month ago. Although this place is remote, it is not without contact with the outside world. Not to mention the residents, it is only the mercenary guild branch here that has contact with the outside world. Not much.
But these connections were all broken two months ago, and those people who were sent over also disappeared inexplicably after coming into contact with this town, and no information was sent out.
This place seems to have become a bottomless pit, anyone who comes here will be swallowed up...
It was not until this matter was noticed by the people of the Church of the Holy Church that there was a large-scale investigation team like the one now, which was able to solve most of the investigators silently, which has fully demonstrated Something unusual here.
Maybe this is where a certain cult has taken a fancy to this place and used it as a den.
"The efficiency of half things in this world is too low." Looking at the teams that had already entered the town, Zheng Yichen couldn't help muttering, it took more than two months to realize that something was wrong? In reality, the problem can be found in less than a week, right?
He was then slapped on the head by Luo Lisi.
"Look no further, you will be found out."
"How is it possible... It's a few kilometers away!" Long's eyesight allowed him to see the situation there clearly. If it was a human, he might not even be able to see this side clearly without a telescope.
"Don't put your world's definition in this world."
Zheng Yichen nodded, still having a strange feeling in his heart. Speaking of which, he might be the earliest time traveler exposed, right?
If you think about it, people in this world are not stupid. If you really meet a strong person, it is not a special thing to be noticed by others, especially when the strong person is still an old monster, just the knowledge in that long life is enough to make you feel sick. People noticed something was wrong.
Even though Luo Lisi said that he was very special, it was difficult for him to conceal his identity due to the disparity in strength.
"What's the matter?" A burly man wearing knight armor noticed a mage wearing a robe beside him looking in a certain direction, and asked.
"It seems that someone is spying on us..." The mage frowned slightly, a little magical aura lit up on his fingers, and he could vaguely see the patterns contained in the aura. He shook his head, "Let others be careful."
"Huh? What was that just now?" Zheng Yichen, who was walking, looked around suspiciously. Just now, he felt a strange feeling sweeping past them, but bypassed them.
"Detective magic."
"...What nonsense." Smacking his tongue, Zheng Yichen couldn't help muttering, Nima, this feeling is better than radar, "We have been discovered?"
"No."
After the church team entered the town, they immediately began to collect useful information. The collected information made the team leader frowned slightly and began to think. There was no trace of anyone's activities here. Not only that...it seemed as if time in this place had been suspended. In two months, those unoccupied rooms should be dusted.
However, in fact, it is completely new there, as if the meaning of time has completely disappeared here.
"What did you find?"
"..." Several mages in the team shook their heads sullenly. This abnormal state must be caused by some kind of force, but they didn't notice any traces, which means that the opponent's level has far surpassed theirs. , "The other party may have left."
"Separate searches." The captain pondered for a moment, then ordered the others, "Remember not to divide them too loosely."
The search for this town was carried out very quickly. After finding the only anomalous point in the town, everyone gathered immediately, surrounded the mercenary guild branch, and after opening the closed gate here, a faint A film of light appeared in front of these people.
"Don't touch this thing, it's dangerous." A mage stopped the captain's attempt to touch the light film and explained, "This is a kind of seal, if you touch it without authorization, you may be counterattacked."
"Can it be lifted?"
"It will take a day." The mage who spoke was a little puzzled. The strength of this seal is not high, but it is a very troublesome one. If you don't pay attention, it will cause the seal to explode. The lightest consequence is the division of the entire mercenary guild. All of them were blown up to the sky, and if it was heavier... Maybe the town would be wiped out. After all, if no one breaks through this seal, only the person who lowered the seal will know what it is connected to.
"Then let's start." The team leader nodded, and after leaving most of the people behind to protect the mages who couldn't stop once they started breaking the seal, he pulled out a small group of people, and he led the team to search nearby. stand up.
One of the first places to search is the Thoth Mountains.
After discovering that all the people in this town were missing, he had already done enough preparations. This town is very ordinary, and the Tot Mountain Range is nothing special. Although there are products, they are very ordinary. The main reason for the extra improvement is that a young dragon appeared here in the Tuot Mountains.
Could it be that the people in this town pretended to be dead to pick that young dragon and provoked the old one, so all the people in the town were silenced?
When they entered the forest, they encountered new magic. This was a very common forest with few large beasts, but now it is full of all kinds of dangerous beasts, and the beasts here are extra ferocious. Came in and was attacked.
"Captain, I remember that there are not many powerful beasts in this forest, not even monsters." A member of the team looked at a wolf that was killed at his feet. The wolf's hair was light blue, Even after death, there are still fluctuations of magic power left on it. This is a magical beast that can use the power of wind attribute!
Even if the level is not high, it is very strange to appear here!
"First confirm whether that dragon really existed." The captain paid attention to the surrounding environment, and said to the person in the team who is best at tracking. Afterwards, the young dragon that was the target was not found, but a place where traces of battle remained. area.
"Strong crossbow... and the ballista!?" The captain stared at the debris at hand, frowning even deeper. It's fragments. What's unusual is that there is no sign of anyone here. Even the environment is different from other places. It seems that this place has been cursed by some kind of curse. There is no grass growing, and it is clearly separated from other areas with lush plants.
Other than that, there are no other traces here, and it has been cleaned up.
"Captain, I found a cave...it should belong to the young dragon."
"Is there really a dragon? Go and see!" Leaving aside the useless fragment in his hand, he immediately stood up and rushed to the suspected dragon's lair.
