Chapter 238 Mirage and Ancient Battlefield
"Good guy, this time I went to Mailan Town to look for clues about Kunbu's disappearance. However, after being involved in the internal fighting of the Zelan family, I almost forgot about Kunbu as the protagonist."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao smiled helplessly.
I saw that he did not hesitate, and immediately described the ins and outs of the Kunbu incident to Xuan Yue in detail.
"Please rest assured, Lord, I will send people to conduct a thorough investigation in the city!"
Xuan Yue bowed to accept the order, immediately called Bai Guo to her side, and gave instructions.
Since it was almost noon, Lei Xiao did nothing else and simply stayed in the castle temporarily to wait for news.
Seeing that the lord wanted to stay here for dinner, Xuan Yue did not dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly went to prepare lunch herself.
At this point, the internal fighting in Mailan Town has completely 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's control.
With this agricultural town, not only the territory's grain and grass reserves can be further expanded.
Moreover, including a well-trained cavalry brigade, three full garrison brigade 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 plains, have undoubtedly formed a defensive barrier that acts as an horn to each other, further ensuring the security of the territory in the forest!"
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but rubbed his hands excitedly.
In this way, by the time Lei Xiao and others finished their rather exquisite and delicious lunch, the results of the city investigation on Khumbu had already been concluded.
"For your information, Lord, my subordinates have sent people to search the hotels, taverns and dungeons in the city, and have interviewed the garrison soldiers who have been on duty these days one by one, but no trace of Mr. Kunbu has been found."
Xuan Yue, who was standing in front of the dining table, stroked her chest and saluted, and reported: "It is now confirmed that Mr. Kunbu's caravan has not arrived at Mailan Town."
"It seems that the scope of Kunbu's disappearance can be further narrowed."
Lei Xiao pondered and nodded, then asked: "Do the other merchants and travelers staying in Mailan Town have any news worth paying attention to?"
"Go back to the lord, my subordinates are about to report this matter."
Xuan Yue still maintained her saluting posture and responded: "After the visit and investigation by Bai Guo and others, we learned that a sudden mirage seemed to have erupted around the ruins of the ancient battlefield, about two days away from Mailan Town. That is the only way Mr. Kunbu must pass to get here.”
"Is it a mirage..."
Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.
With a better understanding of this world, Lei Xiao has already learned.
The so-called mirage is an illusion that is not cast by an illusionist but is formed naturally, somewhat similar to the mirages of previous lives.
It is full of danger and uncertainty.
For ordinary business travelers or low-level experts, it is very difficult to escape smoothly once they enter by mistake.
However, for powerful people above level three, the influence of mirage becomes extremely limited.
After all, unlike the manipulation and arrangement of illusionists, this is just a special phenomenon that occurs naturally.
"Lord, it seems that Kunbu and others were affected by the mirage and lost their way."
Lin pondered for a moment, bowed and said: "When the mirage first broke out, it was also the time when the impact was the widest. The young guy who came from behind avoided this period of time and was able to pass through the area smoothly. .”
Lin paused for a moment, raised her eyebrows and added: "Many mirages only affect people when they are extremely close. The young man who was rushing on his way obviously did not notice this."
< br>
"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 from Lin's report about 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 outcome.
Over the past hundreds of years, countless human history scholars have visited and studied there.
However, in the end, not even a single skeleton or piece of equipment was found.
As a result, many people have doubts and express their own opinions as to whether it is an ancient battlefield relic.
To this day, it is still a hot topic of debate in the archaeological circles of human nations.
"Thinking about it this way, this ancient battlefield relic is likely to be related to the blank era three thousand years ago that Jiang Li mentioned before."
Lei Xiao frowned and continued to think: "As an ancient battlefield, it does not leave any traces of the battlefield. This is really incredible."
"That's all, my purpose this time is just to find Kunbu. As for other things, they have 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 becomes stronger and stronger, when the time is right, everything will naturally be solved."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this.
A look of expectation could not help but appear on Chao Yan's little face.
I saw her blinking her iconic big eyes, taking small steps to come over and said: "Lord, my subordinates once learned various methods of breaking illusions and mirages in the magic tower, especially the mirage class. , and was even rated as the model magician of that year. The task of getting rid of mirages is left to my subordinates!”
Ye Cang also pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, stroked the metal skull necklace on his neck, and echoed: "Lord, my subordinate happens to be quite knowledgeable about mirages, so he should be able to help."< br>
“Very good.”
Hearing the confident voices of his two subordinates, Lei Xiao nodded with satisfaction.
Just this morning, after Shen Banxia's blessing, the storage ring [Golden Eyes] I was wearing had the special effect of increasing illusion resistance.
Moreover, the storage bracelet also contains more than 100 wind-eye pills that can see through the effects of low-level illusions.
Coupled with the two powerful magicians under his command, Ye Cang and Chao Yan, it can be said that they are fully prepared.
"Xuan Yue, I'll leave this to you. If anything happens, please contact me via text in time, and I will arrive as soon as possible."
Nodding to the young master of the Zelan family who was disguised as a man in front of him, Lei Xiao turned around and said to the other subordinates: "Okay, let's set off."
"The target this time is the ancient battlefield ruins!" (End of this chapter)
