Chapter 563: The Missing Lord of Songlin

"Oh? How do you say that?"

Hearing Marquis Rose's words, Lei Xiao couldn't help showing a puzzled look on his face.

"My lord, a month ago, the lord of Songlin City, Marquis Huo De, ordered a batch of fine wine from his subordinates, and agreed to pick it up in person."

Bowing slightly to Lei Xiao, Marquis Rose responded: "However, it has been more than a week, and the other party still has no movement, no news at all, this is not in line with Marquis Huode's behavior. "

"I have also heard about the Marquis of Howard. It is said that there are very few high-ranking nobles who abide by the traditional chivalry in the eastern region of Lengyan. From this point of view, it is indeed unlikely that there will be no appointment."

I saw Ariel nodded thoughtfully, and continued.

"My lord, Her Royal Highness is right."

On the other side, the old general Burt saluted Lei Xiao and said, "Back then, my subordinate once fought side by side with Huo De in the Fortress of Unfalling in the extreme north. And worthy of respect, Robe Ze."

"So that's it. It seems that this Marquis Huo De has indeed encountered something, so he hasn't come to get the wine for a long time."

After listening to several people's words, Lei Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

Lei Xiao had only seen this city lord of Songlin City from a distance at the alchemist conference at that time, so he didn't have much impression.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and said to the enchanting man, "Since you mentioned just now that it is not so easy to take down Gelin City, there must be other clues, right?"

"Your lord is really discerning, and this is exactly what the subordinate wants to report next."

Marquis Rose smiled, and bowed again: "Because this matter is a bit too strange, so, during the time when Lord Huo De refused to make an appointment, his subordinates asked the other nobles who came and went to ask about Gelin Only then did I learn about the situation in the city.

It turned out that it had been a long time since the Alchemists Conference, and the Lord of Hodd hadn't appeared in public in Songlin City for a long time, as if he had disappeared out of thin air. "

"Shuanghuaqing, are you saying that the city lord of Gelin has probably disappeared inexplicably?"

Hearing the sound, Ariel couldn't help showing a look of surprise on her fair face.

"Return to Your Royal Highness, that's exactly what it is."

Nodding his head slightly, the Marquis of Rose turned to Lei Xiao and said, "My lord, this is what I just said. It seems that it is not so easy to take down Gelincheng now."

After a pause, Marquis Rose added: "Of course, this is just my subordinate's guesswork. Everything in Songlin City is currently operating normally, and there is no news about it."

"It turned out to be like this. If you can't directly subdue the city lord, it is really difficult to quickly control a city."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help curling his lips slightly.

"However, Lord Lord, the strength of this city lord is at the fourth level, and he must be surrounded by personal guards. How could he disappear so casually?"

On the other side, Ariel's exquisite face showed a hint of doubt again, and she said in puzzlement: "Besides, it's unbelievable that there is no official news from Gelin City about the disappearance of the city lord."

"It seems that there must be an unknown secret in this."

After pondering for a while, Lei Xiao then said, "If that's the case, then let's go directly to Gelin City to find out."

"Obey! Your lord!"

Hearing the sound, all the subordinates bowed in unison and responded in unison.

Next, Lei Xiao first went back to the basement of the wine cellar and took out 10 million golden dragons for backup.

After that, they came to the secret treasure vault of Lan Leng Castle, which is also located in the wine cellar, and carried out a hearty upgrade.

In the end, in terms of weapons, he obtained 100 Tier 3 long swords, 200 Tier 3 staffs, 200 Tier 3 crossbows, 200 Tier 3 epees, 2 Tier 4 staffs, and 2 Tier 4 long swords. There are also 100 Tier 3 large shields.

In terms of armor, 100 sets of Tier 3 light armor, 100 sets of Tier 3 leather armor, 210 sets of Tier 3 plate armor, 320 sets of Tier 3 heavy armor, 1 set of Tier 4 heavy armor, 1 set of Tier 4 light armor, and 1 set of Tier 4 leather armor. 2 sets of armor, and 100 sets of precious third-tier elf cloth armor and 200 third-tier elf robes.

In terms of potions, they obtained 550 Tier 2 Charging Pills, 5 Tier 3 Holy Moon Charging Pills, 430 Tier 2 Healing Potions, and 6 Tier 3 Healing Potions.

"Not bad, not bad, it just perfectly meets the needs of a heavy infantry squadron, a swordsman squadron, two magician squadrons, and a ranger scout squadron who are good at reconnaissance, a total of five guard squadrons in Lan Lengbao!"

Nodding in satisfaction, Lei Xiao waved his hand casually.

100 sets of Tier 3 heavy armor, 100 Tier 3 heavy swords, 100 Tier 3 large shields, 100 Tier 3 long swords, 100 sets of Tier 3 light armor, 200 Tier 3 staffs, 200 Tier 3 robes, 100 A set of Tier 3 leather armor and 100 Tier 3 crossbows appeared in the secret treasure vault.

On the other side, it goes without saying how astonished and ecstatic Marquis Rose was in front of this shining and splendid scene.

After instructing the other party to change the clothes of his confidant guards slowly without attracting attention, Lei Xiao walked out of the gate of the huge secret treasure house with light steps.

After finishing all this, Lei Xiao took all the main subordinates, bid farewell to the reluctant Marquis Rose, and galloped straight to the direction of Gelin City.

As for the safety of Marquis Rose, Lei Xiao is no longer worried.

First, through his own equipment upgrades and supply of potions, compared to before, this enchanting man named Shuanghua has already made a qualitative leap in strength.

The second is that the second-tier personal guards have undergone a change of equipment, and their combat effectiveness can also be raised to a higher level.

The third is that the current situation of Leng Yan is changing. After the offensive and defensive battle of the fortress, he and Ariel have become the primary targets of the three princes. The pressure on Marquis Rose will naturally be much less.

In this way, after a period of rapid development.

When the journey-ridden Lei Xiao and his party arrived at their destination, Gelin City.

It's almost at hand when the sun sets.

"See Lord Lord!"

In a spacious room on the second floor of the "Drink No Sword" tavern, the tavern owner Mai Ya, the commander of the Shadow Squadron, Fran, and a group of soldiers of the Shadow Squadron all saluted Lei Xiao's chest and bowed deeply. head.

Not long ago, under Maiya's suggestion, this humble tavern has already become the secret agent base of our side in Songlin City.

"You don't have to be polite."

Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao signaled the subordinates of the main force to rest and drink tea casually, and said to Mai Ya and Fran in front of him, "How is the operation status of this spy base?"

"My lord, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner!"

Fran, who had short hair at the ears and a wheat-colored complexion, responded neatly: "With the illusion cloak and invisibility cloak provided by the lord, it will undoubtedly be much easier for the subordinates to act!"

"That's good, then I'll make a long story short."

Immediately afterwards, Lei Xiao told the two about his purpose of coming here this time, as well as what he learned from the Marquis of Rose, about the suspected disappearance of the Lord Gelin.

"I didn't expect the Lord Lord's news to be so well-informed."

A sassy voice sounded, and in surprise, Fran bowed and saluted: "Lord Lord, just before you came here, the members of the shadow who were monitoring the Lord's Mansion of Gelin City and the surrounding areas of the city sent back messages one after another.

Just now, the commanders above the level of deputy captain of the Songlin City Defense Army who held an unknown meeting in the City Lord's Mansion for most of the day have already started to act secretly.

Not only is it rare to block all the mining areas that are being mined, but also launched a large-scale secret search operation in the city. "

After a pause, Fran continued: "This, coupled with the fact that the Lord of Songlin has not appeared in the recent period, the subordinates and old Mr. Maiya, have come to the conclusion that the Lord of Songlin may have disappeared. .

"It seems that due to the disappearance of the city lord, chaos has already begun in Songlin City."

Slightly nodding his head, Lei Xiao asked again: "If the Lord of Gelin City has really been missing for many days, then who is in charge of the current Gelin City?"

"Lord Lord, Huo De, the Lord of Songlin City, has a son and a daughter, both of whom have grown up for many years, and both of them have reached the third-order level in strength."

Seeing Mai Ya with gray temples, he bowed and responded: "Because these two people took over part of the duties of the Gelin City Lord when they became adults, it should be led by these two people, assisted by the elders in the clan, and jointly Manage Songlin City."

"It's interesting."

Hearing this, Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and then asked: "Besides that, what other information did you learn?"

"Return to the lord, and what Fran just mentioned, the matter of sealing off all the mining areas in Songlin City."

Continuing to maintain a respectful posture, Mai Ya, who is about to enter his sixtieth year, said: "In the past ten years since my subordinate has settled in Gelin City, there has never been a blockade of mine veins. After all, this is the lifeblood of Gelin City. where."

Nodding to Lei Xiao, Maiya continued: "From this, I speculate that the disappearance of the Gelin City Lord may have some potential connection with the mine."

"Potentially connected to the vein?"

Hearing the sound, Ariel couldn't help but frowned slightly and said: "Could it be that the disappearance of the Lord Gelin was not caused by man, but some unknown accident occurred?"

"It's very likely."

With one hand resting on his chin thoughtfully, Lei Xiao pondered: "In this way, it can be explained clearly that the other party did not make an official announcement. First, it is to maintain the normal operation of the city. Second, Naturally, it was to maintain the family's prestige.

After all, the disappearance of the lord of a city for no reason is by no means something to boast about. "

"The lord's words are very true. I'm afraid the other party wants to take advantage of this time to secretly find the traces of the Lord Huo De."

Gently stroking his gray beard, Burt echoed, "However, since there has been no news from Lord Horde, he has no choice but to expand the scope of his search."

"However, as a fourth-tier powerhouse who ruled this city, he disappeared inexplicably in the land he was familiar with? This is simply unbelievable."

On the other side, the slender orange-white, with one hand on his hip, looked puzzled.

"It can be seen from this that there must be another mystery."

Shrugging slightly, Lei Xiao immediately said: "However, for us, this is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as we can find out the mystery, and then rescue the Lord Gelin, and then find a way to subdue him, it is not An impossible thing."

"My lord is right!"

Hearing this, at some point, Chaoyan put on the witch hat again, her starry eyes flickered and she puffed up her chest and said, "As long as the lord is involved, nothing is impossible!"

"My lord, what should we do next?"

First, she nodded to Chao Yan, and Ariel also came up and said, "According to the clues we have so far, if we want to find the Song Lin City Lord, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"What needs to be done next is very simple."

Looking at the subordinates of the main force in front of him, Lei Xiao smiled lightly and said, "It is conceivable that the pair of children of the Lord Gelin must be in a state of extreme panic."

"And what we need to do is naturally go to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion and ask them if they need help."

"Sister, I've been looking for this for so many days, and there is still no news from my father. Where can he go?"

In a small meeting room in the Lord's Mansion of Songlin City, a young man in casual knight attire spoke to another young woman in light armor with a sad face.

I saw that the faces of these two people were very similar, and they both belonged to the type of handsome men and beautiful women.

However, from an emotional point of view, the young man is obviously much more disturbed.

Although the young woman was also a little at a loss, there was a hint of calmness and stability in her brows.

"Sister, do you think father will be in any danger?"

Seeing that the young woman did not answer, the young man couldn't help but followed suit again.

"Crow's ~Don't talk nonsense."

Glaring at the young man, the young woman folded her arms and frowned and said: "Father is a powerful fourth-tier powerhouse, how could he casually pose danger at the door of the house?"

"However, at present, there is a strange atmosphere in the clan. Several elders have begun to give up hope of finding their father, and even discuss holding a funeral for him..."

Subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of spit, the young man said again.

"That's because those guys are eyeing the position of the Lord of Gelin City. Although they dare not show it clearly, their wolfish ambitions are clearly revealed!"

With a snort of disdain, the young woman's brows almost twisted together.

"Sister, what should we do?"

Hearing this, panic appeared on the young man's face, and he hurriedly asked, "Don't they dare to take advantage of our father's absence to attack us?!":,,.
