The Northland Alliance investigation team tracked Team Jianfeng's movement to this point, but the clues were suddenly interrupted in an alleyway not far from the city.
At first glance, Team Jianfeng seems to have disappeared out of thin air here, but how could six living elves disappear out of thin air for no reason?
But after the preliminary inspection, the investigators almost unanimously frowned. Xia Duo found that the area where the incident occurred was too "clean". Not only were there no traces of the Jianfeng Team, even the normal traces of the past were extremely clear.
Very few.
This situation made him naturally think of the devil. Previously, he had experienced the devil using a method to completely erase the past history in order to hide the truth.
Erasing past history is not a description, but a fact. It should be the same series as the method used by demons to subvert the current timeline, but it can only be used in local areas, replacing it with a possibility that does not exist in the current timeline.
Drop the current timeline.
If the disappearance of Team Jianfeng involves demons, then the matter will be quite complicated!
Judging from the current investigation results, Team Jianfeng did indeed disappear here, because there is no subsequent movement track. Of course, missing does not mean death.
It is also possible that a transmission was carried out here that was so quiet that it was not monitored by the Mystery Lock of Metril City, and then the traces here were completely erased.
There are at least two problems here -
Why do you want to take action in Metril City? There have been so many opportunities before, and it is too troublesome to not only hide from the mystery lock but also avoid possible witnesses to take action here.
Is it a provocation? Or has Team Jianfeng stumbled upon some kind of ulterior secret and must be silenced immediately?
The second question is that the method of erasing historical traces is indeed very clever, but the movement of the spell itself is not small. Why is there no reaction in the city of Metril?
Either the demons have improved their technology, or the city of Metril has already been infiltrated by the demons.
Of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that there is indeed a demon descendant taking action, but it does not rule out that Ye Erlan has mastered similar means.
…
Just as Shado was deep in thought, Doom's arrival interrupted his thoughts. Doum came over and informed him that he could interrogate the relevant people in Metril City.
Xia Duo was shocked when he heard this and asked subconsciously: "Ye Erlan actually agreed?"
"Why don't you agree? If they don't agree in this case, then this matter will only be blamed on them."
"I see!"
Then, Shado told Doom what he had discovered - mainly the method of erasing traces that had only been mastered by demons before, and then put forward his own opinion:
"I suspect that demons may actually be involved in this incident."
After hearing this, Doom's expression changed several times, and after a long time he told Xia Duo, "The Northland Alliance has no record of this situation. Lord Xia Duo, don't tell others about your discovery for the time being."
He was worried that Erlan would take the opportunity to shirk the blame after Xia Duo disclosed his findings. At the same time, this could be regarded as a denial of other investigators to a certain extent. If the judgment was wrong, it would have too many adverse effects.
So he hoped that Chateau would not make this discovery public for the time being.
Xia Duo didn't have much opinion on this. After all, he came here more to find the possible mist than anything else. However, he also decided that the main direction of the investigation would be on the demon descendants.
After all, both the fog and the current situation are inseparable from the devil. Maybe this is the beginning of the fog.
There is not just one mist incident in the prophecy, but multiple incidents, with a wide range of impacts. It may appear in farms, forests, and of course, in cities.
If it just appeared in a city, the impact would be far unmatched by other places. Metril City is a large city in southern Yeerland with a permanent population of close to one million.
The characteristic of the prophesied mist incident is that there is no way in or out. If it happened in Metril City, it would be equivalent to almost one million casualties.
Even Ye Erlan couldn't bear such a loss.
…
When thinking about the possibility that Ye'erlan would be regarded as a future competitor, Shado couldn't help but worry that a creature would harm its own kind. After all, this kind of thing might happen in Ye'erlan, it might happen in Netheril, and it might happen in Netheril.
Daxia collar.
The key is the fog. In the prophecy, the Northland Alliance even figured out what it was. Compared to tangible enemies, unknown attacks are the most terrifying.
"Let's go and see how the interrogation is going!"
Chateau noticed that other investigators were already walking in one direction of the alleyway, and he quickly called Doom, and the two of them walked behind.
On the way, Shado asked about the identity of the elf from Metril City who was being interrogated this time. Doom also gave Shado a brief introduction:
"There are mainly four elves, namely the city lord of Metril City, the commander of the city guards, the chief mage, and the owner of the alleyway where the incident occurred - an elder of the city council.
"Among them, the city lord controls most of the audit and communication rights of the Mystic Lock. The city guard commander is directly responsible for city defense and public security, while the Chief Mage is responsible for maintaining the Mystic Lock. He is also the only one who has the opportunity to take action against the Mystic Lock."
Except for the city council elder who seems to be lying on his back, the weight of the other three elves is too heavy. If there is really a problem with one or more of them, then this matter will be even more serious than the loss of contact with the Arrow Wind Team itself.
Previously, due to many demon infiltration incidents and the aftermath of the Sruvend War, Yeerlan and Sruvend and even the independent Elam Kingdom from Sruvend would conduct regular internal internal demon review.
If high-level officials in a big city like Metril were infiltrated, it would be unimaginable in other places.
Of course, it is also possible that there are loopholes in the examination of demons within Ellan, or that it is simply perfunctory. In addition, there is also the Kingdom of Ellan, which has been independent for so long, but no demons have been screened out.
Although it is unlikely that the top leaders of the Elam Kingdom are members of the Illuminati, not a single demon descendant has been found, which is too pure!
…
Soon, Shado and Doom followed other investigators to the center of Metril City. Seeing that the team was about to enter the silver spire in front, Shado quickly confirmed to Doum:
"Has the relevant authority in Metril City been transferred now? If the elves being interrogated are really demon infiltrators, are there enough means to control them?"
"this problem--"
Doom did not expect that Shado would ask such a question, but this was indeed an oversight on his part. He thought that Ye Erlan had made a concession and did not continue to ask for confirmation of such key information.
Thinking of the possibility that the Northland Alliance investigation team would be ambushed in the Silver Spire, Doom couldn't help but sweat dripping from his forehead. He quickly stopped Brad who was about to lead the team into the Silver Spire. (End of this chapter)
