Lord of the Nation: My talent is 100 million points strong

Chapter 354 Inexplicable Disappearance

Lei Xiao didn't hesitate, and immediately began to ask the other party's specific location.

However, at the other end of the conversation, there was only a series of noises similar to interference.

Immediately everything came to an abrupt end, and the reading was automatically interrupted.

"So what happened?"

Surprised, Lei Xiao immediately started to contact Fa Xia again, but received a reminder that the connection could not be established due to unknown reasons.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Lei Xiao tried to contact Ah Bing, the maid who was traveling with Faxia, but the result was still the same as before, and neither of them could be contacted at all.

In order to verify whether it was his own fault, Lei Xiao connected to Bai Zhi who was far away in the territory for the third time, and immediately heard the half-elf girl's respectful reply.

"Things seem to be a little tricky."

After confirming that Fa Xia and Ah Bing had indeed encountered some kind of sudden crisis, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, first informed the knotweed and others around him of what happened just now, and then said: "Move forward at full speed, the top priority , we must rush to Shuiyue City immediately."

"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"

All the subordinates responded with awe-inspiring expressions.

After some extreme wind and lightning, facing the biting cold wind, Lei Xiao and his party, who were speeding across the mountain top, were about to pass through this vast Songyin Mountain Range.

In the distance, among the vast and boundless emerald green plains, a city located on an island in the lake has already caught Lei Xiao's eyes.

Just like what Faxia described, the city is surrounded by water, and the outer city walls are not the usual boxy structure, but a regular circle, and the stones used are relatively white.

Under the bright sunlight, against the surrounding sparkling lake, the whole city looks like a bright moon in the water, which makes people feel surprised.

"The perfect natural moat around, the towering city walls, the well-arranged streets...it is indeed a nice city."

Lei Xiao, who was still on the top of the mountain, squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the strange city standing on the plain in the distance, he couldn't help admiring secretly in his heart.

"My lord, there seems to be something wrong with Shuiyue City..."

While Lei Xiao was watching carefully, A Ling's crisp voice came to his ears through the words: "My lord, this is a well-known tourist city in Lengyan, and my subordinates have been here once. , so I still have a lot of impressions.”

"I remember that apart from the famous moat around Shuiyue City, another important sight is the center of the entire city. It is an island within an island, and it is also the location of the City Lord's Mansion."

"Also, as long as you are willing to pay a large amount of golden dragons, after passing strict inspections, even ordinary civilians can enter the designated area of ​​the City Lord's Mansion for sightseeing, but the current location in the center of the city seems a bit empty..."

As she spoke, A Ling's voice couldn't help becoming confused.

"Oh?"

Surprised, Lei Xiao condensed his mind, a ray of milky white energy flashed from his pitch-black eyes.

After raising his vision to the extreme, Lei Xiao stared away again.

Found the location of the center of Shuiyue City in the distance, except for a conspicuous lake in the island.

There are no islands among islands to be seen at all, let alone the City Lord's Mansion built on it.

After being stunned for a moment, Lei Xiao finally came to his senses, and said in surprise, "A Ling, you mean that the City Lord's Mansion of Shuiyue City, together with the island in the center of the city, disappeared together?"

"My lord, it seems...that's exactly the case."

I only heard A Ling's equally unbelievable voice, and it came again: "As one of the city's landmark buildings, the City Lord's Mansion of Shuiyue City is a huge and majestic castle, far taller and more beautiful than the city's city lord's mansion. Much stronger, such a situation is simply unbelievable."

"I didn't expect that there would be such an incredible thing..."

As the wind and lightning flew, Lei Xiao frowned and pondered for a while, then murmured in his heart: "It seems that Fa Xia and Ah Bing disappeared together with the entire island in the Mansion of the Lord of Shuiyue City at that time. It disappeared, which caused the two to completely lose contact."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao immediately started to read, and said to Ye Cang and Chaoyan: "Is it possible that this unexpected disappearance is caused by a powerful space magician who directly wiped out the entire building in the center of the city?" Kojima, teleported away all at once?"

"Returning to Lord Lord, it is the same as the giant ship just now. In theory, there is indeed such a possibility."

Ye Cang's voice sounded immediately: "However, as far as I know, an important factor for the success of casting teleportation is the weight of the object to be teleported."

"The weight of a small island plus a castle is undoubtedly far greater than the three-masted battleship just now."

After a pause, Ye Cang's voice sounded again: "Thus, even a fifth-order space magic powerhouse may not be able to do this."

"My lord, that is indeed the case."

Chaoyan's voice also came to Lei Xiao's ears: "Furthermore, according to the knowledge my subordinates have learned in the Magic Tower, no matter how powerful a space-type expert is, once he casts this super-large teleportation Magic will also leave a lot of abnormal magic power fluctuations in the surrounding area.

Moreover, this abnormal fluctuation of magic power cannot be concealed, and it will last for several days or even longer before it can completely dissipate, and we are already so close to Shuiyue City, but we still don't feel anything. Does not match the energy change after casting teleportation. "

"So, can the possibility of teleportation be ruled out?"

Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully, while galloping fast.

I saw him lowering his body while tightly holding the long white fur on the back of the broad wolf, and then continued: "Is it possible that it is some kind of illusion-like camouflage technique that hides the entire City Lord's Mansion and the island together?" Woke up?"

"My lord, this possibility is more likely."

Ye Cang's response mixed with the sound of the wind came over again: "However, this kind of camouflage technique will only have a visual effect, and then you only need to check it on the spot to fully understand it."

"My lord, my subordinates always feel that this matter is too strange."

The rough voice of the knotweed sounded: "Therefore, please be careful, my lord, and never leave your subordinates."

"understood."

Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and muttered to himself: "Let's take a good look at what happened in Shuiyue City in a while."

Just as the group of people were talking, Shuiyue City, which was far away, was already close at hand.

In the process of advancing, looking at the increasingly taller city walls and gates ahead, Lei Xiao noticed.

At present, the front end of the long wooden bridge leading to the main gate of the city in the center of the lake has been hoisted, and the city gate is completely closed.

On the city wall, a large number of armored soldiers looked serious, and the sharp spears in their hands shone dazzlingly cold under the bright sun.

"It seems that the sudden disappearance of the City Lord's Mansion has put the entire Shuiyue City in a state of emergency."

Looking at the floating moon flag dancing with the wind on the city wall, representing the Faxia family, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Easily crossed the towering city wall, a group of people wearing an invisibility cloak galloped along the streets of the city that had been completely martial law.

Not long after, the lake in the island in the center of the city came into Lei Xiao's eyes.

At this time, Lei Xiao, who was standing on an open-air balcony, could clearly observe it.

On this large azure blue lake, there is also an exquisite large wooden bridge built.

But the other end of the bridge is empty, and there is even a trace of being torn.

As for the location in the center of the lake, the water flow is turbid, and there are a lot of pieces of wood floating around, making it a mess everywhere.

"My lord, the City Lord's Mansion of Shuiyue City, together with the small island where it is located, has indeed completely disappeared!"

A Ling, who was on the side, swallowed involuntarily, and said in amazement.

For her who had seen the City Lord's Mansion once, the empty scene before her eyes was indeed shocking.

"Ye Cang, first go and see if there is any trace of camouflage." Gently patted A Ling's thin shoulder to signal her to calm down, Lei Xiao then said to the muscular priest beside him.

"Obey! Your lord."

Ye Cang bowed to accept the order, and disappeared in front of Lei Xiao in a flash.

After Ye Cang left, the condescending Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to observe.

At the end of a few blocks leading to the lake, a large number of heavily armed soldiers have already blocked them with barricades, as can be seen from the floating moon emblem on the breastplate.

These solemn-looking soldiers are obviously the defenders of Shuiyue City.

"My lord, my subordinates have carefully confirmed that there is indeed no trace of teleportation being used here."

After a while, Chao Yan, who had just returned from surveying the surroundings, took a step forward and bowed in salute.

And Ye Cang, who was going to the center of the lake, also reappeared in front of Lei Xiao, and replied: "My lord, it's empty there. The entire island in the lake is not disguised, but completely empty. disappeared."

"So, isn't the disappearing City Lord's Mansion either teleported away, or camouflaged?"

Lei Xiao frowned again, and muttered to himself: "So, how did this island in the lake, including the Shuiyue City Lord's Mansion on it, disappear? It's just unbelievable."

"My lord, the auras of those three unfamiliar Tier [-] senior experts are getting closer and closer to us."

I saw the burly tiger stick touching Lei Xiao's chest again and saluted.

"understood."

Nodding his head slightly, Lei Xiao, who was still wearing the invisibility cloak, couldn't help showing a thoughtful expression.

When I entered the city just now, I had already heard the report from the knotweed.

Currently, there are eight auras of Tier [-] powerhouses in this city.

Among them, five Tier [-] powerhouses are scattered throughout the city, while the other three Tier [-] senior powerhouses have been gathering together.

"At this stage, from the tense and puzzled expressions of the soldiers along the way, as well as their orderly actions, it can be judged that although the disappearance of the City Lord's Mansion has caused a lot of trouble, there are still people who are commanding these soldiers. .”

"Therefore, if my expectations are correct, the three third-tier senior experts gathered together are likely to be the commander-level figures of the garrison army in this city."

"As for the other five, those scattered in various places in the city are undoubtedly mercenaries, travelers, or other forces in the city."

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao continued to frown, thinking secretly in his heart.

"Analyzing the current situation, there is no sign of foreign enemies invading Shuiyue City. Everything seems to have happened very suddenly, and there is no human factor at all... Things are really getting weirder and weirder."

Just when Lei Xiao was thinking about this.

On the street not far away, three figures approaching quickly came into his sight.

I saw these three people, two middle-aged men with resolute faces, and a sassy woman who looked about 30 years old, all wearing the standard armor of Shuiyue City.

Seeing the arrival of the three, the ordinary soldiers around them immediately bowed and saluted.

It can be clearly seen that although the faces of the three of them are calm, there is an expression of uncontrollable tension and confusion between their brows.

"Is it really the three garrison commanders?"

Observing this, Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates beside him, signaling to get closer to them.

The three of them are all at the third-order five-star level, and Lei Xiao himself has reached the third-order seven-star level. With the help of the invisibility cloak and the invisibility ring, they will naturally not be noticed by the other party.

"Captain Carol, do you have any good suggestions?"

One of the middle-aged commanders said to the female commander with an uneasy expression, "Although we have completely sealed off and put the entire city under martial law in the first place, we have not spread the news."

"But due to the sudden disappearance of the City Lord's Mansion, including the City Lord, all the elders of the Presbyterian Church, Miss Faxia and Ah Bing who just came back, and the elite soldiers of the two guard squadrons have all disappeared. Well, it’s not an option to go on like this.”

After all, the middle-aged commander shook his head helplessly.

"That's right, just now we have sent an elite diving team of water magicians to go down the river and search carefully, and confirmed that the small island did not sink to the bottom of the river, but indeed disappeared directly."

Another middle-aged commander also sighed, full of worry and confusion: "Furthermore, our Shuiyue City also has a complete illusion warning and defense mechanism, which can also rule out the possibility of encountering illusions. I have never heard of such anecdotes."

"This matter is of great importance. I have just sent someone to contact the commercial land trade fair, mercenary union, merchant union and other organizations in the city, and told them to send representatives here. Let's figure out a solution together then."

The female commander named Carol frowned, and responded: "After all, we have grasped some abnormal situations before. Perhaps, it is still unknown what connection there will be."

"It doesn't have to be so troublesome."

At this moment, a calm voice came to the ears of the three: "If you have anything to do, just tell me."
