Chapter 22 The Pursuit
The problems that occurred in the town under the Tot Mountains were discovered a month ago. Although it was remote, it did not have any contact with the outside world. Not to mention the residents, the Mercenary Guild Branch here has a lot of contact with the outside world.
However, all these connections were cut off two months ago, and those sent people disappeared inexplicably after they came into contact with the town, and no information was passed on.
This place seems to have become a bottomless pit, and anyone who comes here will be swallowed up...
It was not until this incident was noticed by the people of the Holy Church that a large-scale investigation team was found, which could silently solve most investigators without missing out, which fully demonstrated the unusualness here.
Maybe some cult here is a place that has taken a fancy to it and used it as a den.
"The efficiency of this world is too low." Looking at the teams that have entered the town, Zheng Yichen couldn't help but mutter. It took more than two months to find out that something was wrong? If it were reality, would the problem be discovered in less than a week?
Loris then slapped his head.
"Don't look again, you'll be discovered."
"How is it possible... it's a few kilometers away!" The dragon's eyesight allowed him to see the situation there clearly. If a person had no telescope, he would probably not even be able to see clearly here without a telescope.
"Don't put your world in this world."
Zheng Yichen nodded, still feeling a strange feeling in his heart. Speaking of which, he might have been the first time traveler exposed?
Think about it, people in this world are not stupid. If they really meet a strong man and are noticed by others, it is not a special thing, especially when this strong man is still an old monster, just the knowledge in his long life is enough to make people realize that something is wrong.
Even though Loris said he was very special, it was difficult to hide his identity even though his strength was too disparate.
"What's wrong?" A master-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-super-sup
"It seems that someone is peeping at us..." The mage frowned slightly, and a little magical light appeared on his fingers. The array patterns contained in the light could be vaguely seen. He shook his head, "Let others pay more attention."
"Hmm? What was that just now?" Zheng Yichen, who was walking, looked around suspiciously. Just now, he felt a strange feeling sweeping around nearby, but bypassing them.
"Scouting Magic."
"...It's really nonsense." After smacking his tongue, Zheng Yichen couldn't help but mutter. Damn it felt better than the radar, "Are we discovered?"
"No."
After the church team entered the town, they immediately began to collect useful information. The collected information made the captain of the team frown and think. There was no trace of anyone's activity here, not only that... the time in this place seemed to have been suspended. In two months, those unmanned rooms should have fallen into dust.
However, in fact, it is completely new, as if the meaning of time has completely disappeared here.
"What did you find?"
"..." Several mages in the team shook their heads with their faces. This abnormal state must have been caused by some force, but they did not notice any trace, which means that the other party's level has far exceeded them, "The other party may have left."
"Search separately." The captain pondered for a moment and ordered the others, "I remember that the difference is too dispersed."
The search for this town was very fast. After finding the only abnormal point in the town, everyone immediately gathered together and surrounded the Mercenary Guild branch. After opening the closed door here, a faint light film appeared in front of these people.
"Don't touch this thing, it's dangerous." A mage stopped the captain from trying to touch the light film to explain, "This is a seal, if you touch it without authorization, you may be hit by a counterattack."
"Can it be lifted?"
"It takes one day." The mage who spoke was a little confused. The strength of this seal was not high, but it was very troublesome. If it was not careful, it would lead to the outbreak of the seal. The lightest consequence was that the entire Mercenary Guild's branch was bombed into the sky. If it was heavier... this town might be wiped out. After all, if no one broke through this seal, only the person who left the seal knew what the thing was connected to.
"Then let's start." The captain of the team nodded, leaving most of the people to protect these mages who could not stop once they started to crack the seal, and then pulled out a small team of people and led the team to search nearby.
The first place to search is the Tot Mountains.
After discovering that all the people in this town were missing, he had done enough preparations. This town is very ordinary, and the Tot Mountains is not a special place. Although there are products, it is very ordinary. However, in the past six months, the development of the town has improved additionally. The main reason is that a young dragon appeared in the Tot Mountains.
Could it be that the people in this town tried to pick the young dragon and caused the old ones, so all the people in the town were silenced?
When they entered the forest, they encountered new magic. This forest, which was originally very ordinary, had few large wild beasts, is now full of dangerous beasts moving. The beasts here are extra fierce, and they were attacked as soon as they came in.
"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 killed at his feet. The wolf's hair appeared a faint blue color. Even if it died, there were still magic fluctuations on its body. This was a monster that could use the power of wind attributes!
Even if the level is not high, it is very strange to appear here!
"First determine whether the dragon really exists." The captain paid attention to the surrounding environment and said to the person who was best at tracking in the team. After that, the young dragon who was the target did not find it, but instead found an area where the battle traces remained.
"Strong crossbow...and crossbow chariots!" The captain stared at the fragments at hand, frowned deeper. This thing was not broken, but was crushed by some force, and was scattered around it. What was unusual is that there was no sign of anyone here, and even the environment was different from other places. It seemed that there was a curse here, and there was no grass growing, which was clearly different from other areas with lush plants.
Apart from that, there is no trace of the place here, and it has been cleaned up.
"Captain, I discovered a cave...it should be the young dragon."
"There is really a dragon? Go and see!" He left the useless fragments in his hand, stood up immediately and rushed to the place suspected to be the dragon's cave.
