A city on the western border of the border was silent.
It was still broad daylight, a time when the city should have been bustling, but at this moment, the entire city was quiet.
The city gate under the city tower was ajar, with no soldiers guarding it and no pedestrians coming and going. Looking inside the city gate through the gap of the half-open city gate, it can be seen that the entire city gate is also empty.
Boom boom boom...
Not long after, the sound of horse hooves sounded from the road outside the city, and a cavalry team that looked like a hundred people rode towards this side, throwing up dust all the way.
The leader of the team was a middle-aged general who looked majestic and resolute. When he came to the city gate and looked at the half-opened but empty city gate, his expression changed slightly, and he waved.
"Search!"
"yes!"
Rumble!
There was a sound of the heavy door being pushed open. Under the leadership of the middle-aged general, the team immediately entered the city and then dispersed into multiple teams of five to ten people to search.
More than an hour later.
"Captain, we searched the south of the city and found no one."
"Captain, we've searched the west side of the city and found no one."
"Captain, there is no one in the east of the city, and there is no one in the whole city."
"Not only is there no one, there are no poultry or livestock in the entire city, not even a single living creature is seen!"
"..."
The scattered teams returned one after another, and after listening to the report, the look on the middle-aged general's face became increasingly grim.
The soldiers behind him all looked unnatural, and many of them even had pale faces and a look of uneasiness in their eyes.
Because of this situation, they have discovered not only the first one during this period of time. Before here, they have discovered more than ten such situations, ranging from cities to towns, large and small, all of which are completely extinct.
I don't know what happened, but it was like all the creatures in the city disappeared overnight. Not only the living people, but also the poultry and livestock could not be found.
It was said that they were attacked, but the entire city was clean and there was no trace of a fight at all.
Thinking about the rumors and happenings in various places during this period, all the cavalrymen couldn't help but feel uneasy in their hearts.
"Captain, what should we do now? This is already the fifteenth station."
After all the searching team members came back, a guard couldn't help but look at the middle-aged general and asked.
The middle-aged general also had a bad look on his face when he heard this. If he knew what to do, he wouldn't be like this now. The other ordinary soldiers behind him may not know the specific situation, but he is quite well-informed and knows some things that are not good for him.
It is known that high-level officials in the principality have already had official mages in trouble because of this matter. It is not a problem that they can solve at all.
For them, the only thing they can do is to collect information. Their expressions changed and they raised their hands again.
"Go, leave here and report the news."
"yes!"
Boom boom boom!
In an instant, the rumble of horse hooves sounded again, and the team came and went as fast as it came.
Almost as soon as the cavalry team left, two figures, one black and one white, appeared on the city tower, looking at the leaving cavalry team from a distance.
The white figure is wearing a white mage robe, and his face is kind and kind, giving people the feeling of a friendly old man. The black figure is wearing a black mage robe, and he looks like a young boy of twelve or thirteen years old with a pretty face.
Astonishingly, it was Guao and Duranke.
Although Duran Ke is still on the wanted list of the Luoying Principality, with the energy of the God-Slaying Society and their own strength, it is easy to evade these wanted lists.
"Even the sharp-armored light cavalry of the Luoying Principality have been dispatched. It seems that this evil spirit incident is indeed a serious matter. I am afraid that the senior officials of the Luoying Principality can no longer sit still."
Looking at the cavalry team retreating, Gu Ao slowly spoke.
The sharp armored elite cavalry is the most elite cavalry team in the Principality of Luoying. Their main task is to garrison Luoying City on weekdays. They cooperate with the Principality's mages to form the strongest army in the Principality of Luoying. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to leave Luoying City.
, but now it appears here, it is obvious that the incident of evil spirits has brought the Luoying Principality to a very serious stage, otherwise such troops would never appear here.
"This is the best."
Duranke opened his mouth and said, with a look of pleasure on his face. Ever since he escaped death that night and was wanted, he has not had the slightest favorable impression of the entire Luoying Principality.
Gu Ao knew in his heart the current situation of Durank towards the Principality of Luoying, so he didn't say much after hearing this, but turned his head to look at the empty city behind him and became thoughtful again.
Although the evil spirit incident directly threatened only the Principality of Luoying on the surface, Gu Ao did not dare to relax at all, because he knew very well that the purpose of coming to Luoying City by himself and others was to investigate the traces of the gods.
And this evil spirit incident made him wonder if it might be related to gods.
"Does the Archmage suspect that this evil incident is related to evil spirits?"
Seeing Gu Ao's thoughtful look, Durank also guessed Gu Ao's thoughts and couldn't help but speak.
Hearing this, Gu Ao nodded and said.
"As far as I know, in the period of gods ten thousand years ago, among the many gods, there was an evil god who was related to death and was in charge of the law of death. He was called the God of Death. He controlled death and also created death. Wherever he passed, he was...
For the land of death, it is said that the more deaths there are, the stronger his power will be. He is a very powerful and evil god among the gods in the age of gods, and his followers all believe in death."
"This incident of evil spirits in Luoying Principality, although it seems to be evil spirits on the surface, in fact, it is actually increasing the number of deaths. Moreover, not only can the bodies of these creatures not be found after death,
Not even the death energy was born, which is too weird, and as far as I know, similar things have happened not only in the Luoying Principality, but also in the neighboring Sapphire Principality and Boruk Principality."
"I can feel that death is spreading on a large scale."
When Duranke heard this, he was immediately shocked.
"The Archmage suspects that the god who the prophet said would resurrect in the Principality of Luoying is the God of Death."
Gu Ao nodded seriously, showing a dignified expression.
"If this is really the case, then we must find him in advance before he fully recovers and returns. Otherwise, let alone the Luoying Principality, even the entire world will be shrouded in death and turned into a hell on earth."
............
Luoying City.
Mage Tower.
A group of core senior officials above the great mages of the Luoying Principality gathered together.
Mesai Luoying sat on top of the chairman with a solemn expression, looked at everyone and asked.
"How's it going? Did you find any useful information?"
The atmosphere was a bit heavy. Jino, Randolph, Simon and other great mages all had solemn expressions on their faces. After hearing this, Jino shook his head and said.
"No, the enemy's strength may exceed our original estimate, and it is deeply hidden. Five official mages sent out have lost contact. The enemy has been in the dark. I suggest that all the remaining mages who are outside be recalled.
, let’s consider the matter in the long term.”
Randolph, Simon, Angelina and other archmages nearby were all shocked when they heard this.
"Five mages have disappeared?"
The faces of several people couldn't help but change. Although they already knew that something happened to the mages sent out during this period, they didn't expect that five of them had disappeared. You must know that every official magistrate is an extraordinary existence. Five people were lost in one fell swoop.
position, even if it is a big loss to the entire Luoying Principality.
And the most important thing is that until now they don't even know who the enemy is and what their purpose is. This is the most difficult thing.
The unknown is often the scariest thing.
"We can't go on like this. We have to do something. No matter what means we use, we must find the enemy behind the scenes as soon as possible."
After pondering for a moment, Randolph spoke, and a fierce aura burst out from his body, and he spoke.
"Since the enemy only dares to attack us secretly and does not dare to face us directly, it means that the enemy's strength is not greater than ours, so we do not need to be afraid of them at all. For us, the biggest problem is to find them. As long as we find them, then
Everything can be solved easily."
Everyone who was still a little heavy-hearted suddenly felt shocked when they heard Randolph's words.
"Yes, what Archmage Randolph said makes sense."
Messe Luoying also answered.
"Since the enemy only dares to act secretly and does not dare to face us directly, it means that the enemy's strength does not exceed ours. As long as the enemy is found, the matter will naturally be solved. So next, what we have to do is to increase our efforts.
Look for traces of the enemy."
"In addition, a few days ago, I have contacted Archduke Bolin of the Sapphire Principality and learned that some similar evil incidents have occurred in the Sapphire Principality. Archduke Bolin has reached an agreement with me to form a half-hearted alliance.
In a few months, the Sapphire Principality will send a team of envoys to discuss joint matters."
Jino, Randolph and others were immediately shocked when they heard this. The Sapphire Principality is a neighboring country of the Luoying Principality. Its strength is equivalent to that of the Luoying Principality. The leader of the country is also a powerful legendary mage, which is exactly what Messe Luoying said.
Bolin, if there is such a powerful ally at this time, it will undoubtedly be good news for them and a booster of confidence.
"If the Sapphire Principality unites, with the strength of our two countries, then I think this time, no matter what the enemy is, it will eventually be annihilated."
Jino followed with a smile and said, knowing that Mesai Luoying summoned them today probably mainly to announce the alliance with the Sapphire Principality.
Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of relief and joy on their faces.

At the same time, after spending several days of leisure time in the off-campus manor, Lin Tianqi's mind finally heard the system prompt that was entering the upgrade state.
"Ding, the system upgrade is complete, host, please check it confidently."
