After hearing Faxia's cry for help, Lei Xiao did not hesitate and immediately began to ask for the other party's specific location.
However, on the other end of the conversation, there was just a series of sizzling sounds similar to interference.
Immediately afterwards, everything came to an abrupt halt, and the words were automatically interrupted.
"So what happened?"
Surprised, Lei Xiao immediately started to reconnect, but received a message that the connection could not be established for unknown reasons.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Lei Xiao contacted A Bing, the maid who was traveling with Faxia, but the result was still the same as before, unable to contact either of them at all.
Next, in order to verify whether it was his fault, Lei Xiao contacted Bai Zhi who was far away in the territory for the third time, and the respectful response of the half-elf girl immediately came to his ears.
"It seems that things are getting a little tricky."
It was confirmed that Faxia and Abing had indeed encountered some kind of sudden crisis.
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, and first informed Huzhang and the others around him of the situation that had just occurred, and then said: "Go at full speed, the top priority is that we must rush to Shuiyue City immediately."
"Yes! Lord!" Upon hearing this, all the subordinates responded with stern expressions.
Just like that, after some extreme speed and lightning.
Facing the biting cold wind, Lei Xiao and his group, who were speeding through the mountain tops, were about to cross the Songyin Mountains.
In the distance, between the vast and boundless turquoise plains, a city on an island in the lake had already caught Lei Xiao's eyes.
Observe carefully, it's just like what Fashaa described.
This city is surrounded by water. The outer city wall is not an ordinary boxy structure, but a regular circle. In addition, the stones used are relatively white.
Under the bright sunshine, against the sparkling lake surface, the whole city looks like the bright moon in the water, which makes people feel surprised.
"It is surrounded by a perfect natural moat, towering city walls, and well-proportioned streets... It is indeed a good city."
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was still on the top of the mountain, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the strange city standing on the plain in the distance, and couldn't help but secretly exclaimed in his heart.
"Lord, something seems wrong in Shuiyue City..."
Just when Lei Xiao was watching carefully.
A Ling's crisp voice reached his ears through her words: "I would like to inform you, Lord Lord, that my subordinate has been to this famous tourist city in Leng Yan once.
I remember that besides the famous moat outside Shuiyue City.
Another important landscape is the center of the entire city, which is an island within an island and is also the location of the city lord's palace.
Moreover, as long as they are willing to pay a large amount of gold dragons and pass strict inspections, even ordinary civilians can enter the designated areas of the City Lord's Mansion for sightseeing.
However, the current location in the center of the city seems a bit empty..."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao concentrated his mind, and a ray of milky white energy flashed through his dark eyes.
After raising his vision to the extreme, Lei Xiao looked again and found that in the distance at the center of Shuiyue City, except for a conspicuous island lake.
There is no island within the island at all, let alone the city lord's palace built on it.
After being stunned for a moment, Lei Xiao finally came to his senses and said in surprise: "A-Ling, do you mean that the City Lord's Mansion in Shuiyue City disappeared together with the island in the center of the city?"
"Back to Lord, it seems... that's exactly what it is." On the other side, A Ling's equally incredible voice came over again: "You know, as one of the city's landmark buildings.
The City Lord's Palace of Shuiyue City is a majestic giant castle, much taller and stronger than the City Lord's Palace in ordinary cities. This situation is simply unbelievable."
"I didn't expect that such an incredible thing would happen. It seems that if nothing unexpected happens.
At that time, Faxia and Abing disappeared from the city lord's palace in Shuiyue City together with the entire island, which resulted in the two completely losing contact."
In the lightning speed, Lei Xiao frowned and pondered for a long time.
Then he opened his mouth and said to Ye Cang and Chao Yan: "In this case, it is possible that it is a powerful space magician.
Directly teleport away the entire island in the center of the city at once?"
"Back to Lord, it's just like the giant ship just now. It's theoretically possible."
Hearing this, Ye Cang's voice immediately rang out, and he responded: "However, as far as my subordinates know.
An important factor in the success of teleportation is the weight of the object to be teleported.
The weight of a small island plus a castle is undoubtedly much greater than the three-masted battleship just now.
Therefore, even a fifth-level space magic powerhouse may not be able to accomplish this."
"That's true." On the other side, Chaoyan's voice also reached Lei Xiao's ears: "Furthermore, Lord, based on the knowledge learned by my subordinates in the magic tower.
No matter how powerful the space system expert is, once he casts such a large-scale teleportation magic, he will definitely leave a large amount of abnormal magic power fluctuations in the surrounding area.
Moreover, this abnormal magic fluctuation cannot be concealed, and it will take several days or even longer to completely dissipate.
And now that we are so close to Shuiyue City, we still feel nothing. This situation is not consistent with the energy changes after teleportation."
"So, can we rule out the possibility of teleportation?"
Nodding slightly, Lei Xiao lowered his body while galloping quickly, while tightly holding the long white hair on the wolf's back.
He continued to ponder: "Is it possible that it is some kind of illusion-like disguise that hides the entire city lord's palace together with the island?"
"Back to Lord, this possibility is actually higher."
Ye Cang's response mixed with the wind came over again: "However, this kind of camouflage technique only has a visual effect.
At that time, we only need to check it on the spot and we will be able to fully understand it.”
"Lord, my subordinates always feel that this matter is too strange." Then, the rough voice of the knotweed sounded: "Therefore, my lord, please be careful and never leave your subordinates."
"Understood."
Hearing this, Lei Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured to himself: "Then, let us take a closer look in a moment to see what happened in Shuiyue City."
Just as a group of people were talking, Shuiyue City, which was originally far away, was already very close at hand.
As he advanced, Lei Xiao noticed the increasingly taller city walls and city gates ahead.
Currently, the front end of the long wooden bridge leading to the main entrance of the city in the center of the lake has been lifted, and the city gate is completely closed.
On the city wall, a large number of soldiers wearing armor looked serious, and the sharp spears in their hands shone with a dazzling cold light in the bright sunshine.
"It seems that the sudden disappearance of the City Lord's Mansion has put the entire Shuiyue City in a state of emergency with complete closure."
Looking at the floating moon flag on the city wall dancing in the wind, representing the Faxia family, Lei Xiao nodded slightly.
Next, we easily crossed the towering city wall.
People wearing invisibility cloaks were speeding along the streets of the city that had been completely under martial law.
Not long after, the island lake in the center of the city came into Lei Xiao's sight.
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was standing on an open-air balcony, could clearly observe it.
A large and exquisite wooden bridge is also built on this large blue lake.
The other end of the bridge was empty, and there were even traces of being torn apart.
As for the center of the lake, the water is turbid, and there are a lot of broken pieces of wood floating around, making everything a mess.
"Lord, the City Lord's Mansion in Shuiyue City and the island where it is located have indeed completely disappeared!" Seeing this, A Ling on the side swallowed involuntarily and said.
I have to say that for Aling, who had seen this giant city lord's palace once before, the empty scene in front of her was really shocking.
"Ye Cang, first go and see if there are any traces of disguise." After gently patting Aling's thin shoulder to signal her to calm down, Lei Xiao spoke to the muscular priest next to him.
"Yes! Lord." Immediately afterwards, Ye Cang's figure flashed and disappeared in front of Lei Xiao.
After Ye Cang left, Lei Xiao, who was condescending, narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to observe.
I saw that at the end of several blocks leading to the lake, they had already been completely blocked by a large number of heavily armed soldiers with roadblocks. It could be seen from the floating moon emblem on the breastplate.
These solemn-looking soldiers were obviously Shuiyue City's garrison.
"Lord, my subordinates have carefully confirmed that there is indeed no trace of teleportation being used here."
When Lei Xiao saw this, he saw Chao Yan, who had just returned from investigating the surroundings, took a step forward, bowed and saluted.
After a while, Ye Cang, who was heading to the center of the lake, reappeared in front of Lei Xiao, clasping his fists and saying, "I would like to report to you, Lord Qi.
There is nothing there, and the entire island in the lake is not camouflaged, but has completely disappeared."
"So, the disappeared city lord's mansion was neither teleported away nor camouflaged?"
Hearing this, Lei Xiao's brows began to wrinkle again, and he murmured to himself: "Then.
How did this island in the lake, and the Shuiyue City Lord’s Mansion above it, disappear? It’s simply unbelievable.”
"Lord, those three unfamiliar third-level senior powerhouses are getting closer and closer to us." Then, the tiger stick on the side clasped his fists at Lei Xiao again.
"Understood." Lei Xiao, who was still wearing the invisibility cloak, nodded slightly and couldn't help but look thoughtful.
When he entered the city just now, he had already heard about the knotweed.
Currently, there are six auras of third-level powerhouses in this city.
Among them, three third-level powerhouses are scattered throughout the city, while the other three third-level senior powerhouses are always gathered together.
"At this stage, we can judge from the nervous and confused expressions of the soldiers along the way, as well as their still orderly actions.
Although the disappearance of the city lord's palace caused a great disturbance, there are still people commanding these soldiers.
So if what I expected was good.
Those three third-level senior experts gathered together are most likely the commander-level figures of the garrison in this city."
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao continued to frown and thought to himself: "Having said that, let's analyze the current situation.
There were no signs of foreign invasion in Shuiyue City. Everything seemed to happen very suddenly, and no human factors could be seen at all.
I have to say, 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 caught his eye.
I saw these three people, namely two middle-aged men with resolute faces, and a sassy woman who looked to be about thirty years old. They were all wearing Shuiyue City's standard armor.
When they saw the arrival of the three men, the ordinary soldiers around them immediately bowed and saluted.
In addition, it can be clearly seen.
Although the faces of the three of them were all calm, their brows revealed an expression of uncontrollable nervousness and confusion.
"Are they really the three garrison commanders?" After observing this, Lei Xiao nodded to the subordinates beside him and motioned to get closer to them.
These three people are all at the third-order five-star level, and Lei Xiao himself has already reached the third-order seven-star level.
Coupled with the assistance of the invisibility cloak and the concealment ring, it will naturally not be noticed by the opponent.
"Captain Carol, do you have any good suggestions next?"
One of the middle-aged commanders said to the female commander with an uneasy look on his face: "Although we have completely sealed off and put the entire city under martial law at the first time.
However, due to the sudden disappearance of the city lord's mansion.
As a result, including the Lord of the City, the elders of the Presbyterian Council, Miss Faxia and A Bing who had just returned, and the two elite soldiers of the Guards Squadron, were all missing.
If this continues, it’s not an option after all.”
"Yes, we have just sent an elite water magician diving team to search the river and confirmed that the island did not sink to the bottom of the river, but indeed disappeared.
I have never heard of such anecdotes." Another middle-aged commander on the side also shook his head helplessly and said, his eyebrows full of worry.
"This matter is of great importance. I have just sent people to contact the Phytolacca Trade Fair, the Mercenary Union, the Merchant Federation and other organizations in the city to inform them to send representatives.
At that time, let’s find a solution together.”
Hearing this, the female commander named Carol sighed softly and responded: "After all, we have grasped some abnormal situations before. Perhaps, there will be some connection between them."
"There's no need to go to such trouble." At this moment, a calm voice came into the ears of the three of them: "If you have anything, just tell me."
