The calm night in Duke City is like water.

In Hogg's perception, life is like ripples on the water, but this cannot escape his perception, but it cannot be clearer.

Duke City is a very large county town with a total population of nearly one million. It is naturally impossible to sense the vitality of so many people.

In Hogg's eyes, these people are like densely packed ants. Of course, the human eye cannot distinguish the faces of the ants.

However, it would be much easier if you were just detecting warriors and magicians above level seven.

Ordinary people are like ants, but a seventh-level warrior is at least a moth, much more conspicuous.

The ratio of level seven experts to ordinary residents is almost one ten thousandth.

In other words, among a population of one million, there are less than a hundred strong people at level seven or above.

Moreover, the aura of a seventh-level strongman is very different from the aura of a sixth-level warrior or a sixth-level magician. They are not of the same magnitude at all, and they are particularly easy to distinguish.

This is easy to detect.

There is only one ninth-level strongman. It seems to be a ninth-level warrior, and he is currently in the city lord's mansion.

There are five eighth-level experts in total, two in the city lord's palace, one in the same hotel as him, and two others scattered throughout the city.

There are hundreds of seventh-level experts, and more than ten of them are on the street. Hogg's soul power swept across a small area and he immediately knew the identities of these people.

Because these more than ten seventh-level warriors are all knights wearing heavy armor. They lead a small team under their command and silently patrol the streets.

This should be the response of the Lord of Duke City to the disappearance of children, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be of much use.

Hogg could see that these knights were not simple either. They wore heavy armor and fine iron axes.

These people, even ordinary armored knights, are at least sixth-level warriors, and the seventh-level warriors Hogg sensed before are the "captains" and "vice-captains" among the knights.

There are more than ten such teams, which cannot be mobilized by an ordinary earl city lord.

As the most famous heavy cavalry in the Luo Empire, ordinary heavy cavalry are at the level of sixth-level warriors, and combined with the war horses at their hips, they can have an impact comparable to that of seventh-level warriors.

A group of heavy cavalry attacked frontally, and the eighth-level and even ninth-level warriors had to get out of the way.

But considering the top wealthy family in the Luo Empire behind the Lord of Duke City, this is not surprising.

In just three months, hundreds of children disappeared in Duke City, which was enough for the Duke City Lord to be impeached.

If the case still cannot be solved, Lord Duke's position as Lord of the City can only be given up, and then he can go home to nurse his children.

There are more than a hundred such heavy-armored cavalry in Duke City, quietly patrolling the streets, catching anyone who may be suspected.

It's a pity that they didn't catch anything.

From the perspective of "Eye of Life" and "Power of Soul", Hogg found that the security of this city at night was very good, and the inevitable thieves, gangsters, and all kinds of "rats" who lived in the gutter were all unavoidable in a normal city.

Don’t walk on the streets at night.

As soon as they appeared, the energetic group of heavy armored cavalry would not give up their mobile achievements. So they could only crowd in the smelly sewers, in the noisy taverns, and in various places.

Only not on the street.

However, Hogg doesn't think that the large number of missing children is caused by these urban foxes. They don't have the ability or the courage.

Hogg's "vision" continued to expand, and he saw the mobilization of troops outside Duke City.

Detecting the breath of life is the first step.

The second step is to further use the power of the soul to carefully explore the places he thinks are suspicious.

Turning his eyes, Hogg used the power of his soul to explore the city lord's mansion in detail.

Lord Duke's face was filled with sadness, and there was a faint aura of ice surrounding his body.

To be able to firmly hold the position of city lord, this Duke city lord is not a simple person.

He is a nobleman who has considerable attainments in water magic and is a seventh-level water magician.

However, his personal strength and the wisdom of the magician did not seem to help him find the missing children.

Under Hogg's investigation, he only saw him venting his anger on his men, but showing no way to do anything about it.

The power of the soul was withdrawn, and then swept in another direction. The most numerous buildings in that area were a bunch of tent-like buildings.

Red Tent Street, Luo Empire style red light district, Flower Street.

On weekdays, this red tent street is very lively, and the dancers from the Luo Empire are one of a kind.

But in this current environment, even the ladies on Flower Street are not doing much business.

However, Hogg noticed that in a large "red tent" deep in the street, there was a secret passage leading outside the city.

But this is not unusual. He saw at a glance that there were more than ten similar secret passages in Duke City. In any big city, there will be no shortage of such "secret passages". Some of them were dug by private individuals or various forces in the city, and

Some are simply poached by official forces.

There are multiple channels and multiple roads, and this principle applies to them all.

But here, these two seventh-level warriors are hidden in the passage. However, under the detection of soul power, these two people are just guarding in the passage, but there is nothing suspicious.

Mark a key point, and the power of the soul has moved away.

In the southwest corner of Duke City, there seem to be several magicians drinking in the tavern...at least people wearing magician robes.

They seemed to be discussing the disappearance of the children, but what they said was just hearsay and did not help Hogg in any way.

But Hogg doesn’t care either.

The eye of the sky can roughly judge the position and strength of a "person", while the detection of soul power is more detailed.

Combining the two, he could tell at a glance what was being discovered in the city. On the contrary, processing the information in this huge scope of exploration gave him a headache. It was very difficult to process so much information.

After screening out the "suspicious persons", Hogg turned to investigate each area from the perspective of "victims".

The aristocratic area can basically be ruled out. Under normal circumstances, kidnapping children will not challenge tightly guarded areas.

Wealthy citizen areas, detect and target families with children at home.

In ordinary civilian areas, detect and target families with children at home.

Slum area...

Streets everywhere, families everywhere.

As long as there are children, although Hogg cannot separate a trace of consciousness, he still keeps the rhythm of life in mind, and if there is a change, especially if there is a breath of life above level seven, he will immediately use the power of his soul to detect it.

He is waiting for the "suspect" who kidnapped the child.

To catch thieves and seize stolen goods, as soon as someone kidnaps a child, he will be able to detect it immediately.

It wasn't that he was going to catch him on the spot, but he was following the clues to see who was behind this.
