The two of them hurried on in the night, and Sword Girl asked Chai Anping about the details of his mission from time to time.
In fact, she had already received hints from the Third World and Xin Zhao, and she had originally agreed to the request for an exhibition match. However, she did not expect that the outside mage had an accident, so she had to change it into a joint investigation mission for the two of them.
She not only wanted to protect Chai Anping, but also confirmed his strength.
This is her most important task!
As for a group of outside mages... she actually didn't care.
The two of them got along without much embarrassment. After Fiona's brother was killed by Stuart, the two had an intersection. Later, Sword Queen gave Chai Anping some guidance, so they were not strangers.
Chai Anping asked her for some martial arts questions, and she was happy to solve them.
In the middle of the night, the two of them rushed to a post station to rest - mainly because the horses needed to rest.
After checking into the inn, Chai Anping began to carefully look through the information collected by the spies, trying to find clues.
Green Mountain is located in the eastern part of Demacia, stretching from east to west. To the north is the east peak of the Owendale Mountains. This is the first pass after entering Demacia. During the war between Demacia and Noxus a long time ago,
, this is the most important and last line of defense for Demacia.
Nowadays, the south side of Luyin Mountain has become the most important trade road.
There is also a waterway that leads directly to the capital through here.
In winter, because it faces the cold air current of Owendale, the northern slope of Green Mountain has long been covered with ice and snow, and inevitably the plants are withered. Only vegetation such as fir forests still remains green.
There is a Demacia sentry on the mountain, so it is not easy to avoid the search of the sentry in such a harsh environment in winter.
Judging from the time, the convoy should have disappeared in the middle of the mountains. Chai Anping roughly drew a search circle on a simple map.
"The job of finding people should be easier for Quinn and Simmons, right?"
He frowned. It was not easy to find clues in such a large area!
"No...why did I forget that there are twin shadows!"
Searching for targets is the basic ability of Twin Shadows, and it is perfect for this kind of mission.
Chai Anping then looked at the configuration of the team and the abilities of the invited mages.
There were some ambiguous remarks in them, but they were pretty much the same. Chai Anping had a preliminary understanding of the strength of these people.
"Is it possible that they are those mages who still choose to resist?"
Chai Anping knew that a considerable number of the mages who had fled from the palace had chosen to form a rebel army and were still trying to overthrow the rule of the Jiawen royal family.
"But if you want these outsiders with rich magic experience to overturn the situation quietly...are those mages who attack the palace capable of this?"
Because he has personally played against these people, Chai Anping has a big question mark about their abilities.
"In addition to this, there are some terrorist incidents that have occurred around Green Peak... The text presented in the intelligence is naturally concise and accurate. After reducing many horror elements, many cases can still make people feel dizzy.
.
No matter how you look at it, there is a supernatural power exerting influence behind it..."
Chai Anping had a gut feeling that the disappearing convoy had something to do with these strange events - after all, it was clearly recorded that the convoy had also encountered strange sacrificial scenes.
…
After two days of rushing, the two finally arrived at the inn closest to Luyin Peak.
A full week has passed since the predicted time for the entire fleet to disappear.
In fact, Demacia's response has been quite rapid, but it is not convenient to deploy manpower.
"Should we go directly into the mountain or?"
Fiona glanced at him searchingly. The main purpose of this trip was to test Chai Anping, so she would not overshadow him.
In two days, Chai Anping had already made a plan.
He nodded slightly and tightened the reins: "Let's dismount and walk up the mountain!"
Before going to find someone first, he decided to see if there were any strange events happening nearby!
The two men stored their horses at the inn, packed a few days' worth of food and water, and set off.
Chai Anping also obtained from local spies the statistics on incidents related to the mysterious deaths of animals collected in the past two days, and also recorded all the persons responsible for handling such incidents before.
"There are so many!"
Chai Anping walked and looked at it, and couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
"Ms. Fiona, can you resist some evil supernatural power?"
"Every power has its flaws."
Fiona said matter-of-factly: "The power with flaws is just superficial!"
When Chai Anping heard this, he thought she had this ability. He curled his lips secretly and did not complain about the strong character that Sword Princess had when she spoke.
"Next, I will release two ghosts to search for clues. Ms. Fiona shouldn't be surprised."
"oh?"
Fiona showed a hint of curiosity when she heard this.
Chai Anping directly controlled the two ghosts to reveal their true bodies, and the two hazy souls with shimmering bodies emerged from his shadow.
"This is the ability of a magic item." Chai Anping briefly introduced it to avoid misunderstanding.
Fiona's eyes flashed slightly, and she looked at the shadows on the ground twice.
"This prop is not simple!"
"Where, where."
Chai Anping simply gave instructions to the two ghosts, and the two light souls disappeared instantly.
The image from the unique perspective of the soul was then transmitted to Chai Anping's mind. This was also the first time that he used the enemy-finding function of Twin Shadows. Instead of causing any inconvenience to him, the image transmitted to his mind had a refreshing feeling.
The influx of breath made him more focused.
The two ghosts move extremely fast, and without physical obstruction, they can shuttle through obstacles at full speed.
The two of them followed closely into the mountains, climbing over mountains and ridges as if they were walking on flat ground.
"How do you plan to find someone, just rely on those two ghosts?" Fiona couldn't help but asked curiously.
"...No, I feel that the sudden growth of strange events is very strange, and it may be related to the disappearance of the convoy."
Chai Anping shook his head slightly: "After all, it is very difficult for the two of us to find clues in the mountains, and it will probably take a very long time."
Soon, the two of them arrived at an incident point recorded in the records, and one of the ghosts floated in mid-air, guiding the two of them in the direction.
"Ma'am, did you feel any strange smell?"
The animals that died at the scene had long since been burned, leaving only scorched black marks on the bare earth.
Chai Anping squatted down and used his magic power to sense it first.
Alchemical magic power is like no other, but it has a unique ability in perception. Especially when the magic power comes into close contact with the object to be explored, alchemical magic power will often regard it as an "alchemical material" to deconstruct it.
Fiona squinted her eyes when she heard this, and turned her head to sense it carefully.
"No, I just feel a residual ominousness, almost an illusion."
"...My magic can't detect any more."
Through the perspective of the ghost, one can see traces of black traces, but they cannot be touched at all.
Chai Anping suddenly became inexplicably irritable, and then he suddenly felt someone pat the backpack behind him.
"Boom!"
"Ms. Fiona, what's the matter?"
"...I didn't call you."
"I mean pat my backpack."
"I'm on your left, why do I need to take a picture of your backpack?"
Chai Anping's face froze slightly, so the question came - who patted him on the back?
