Lord of Arcane

Metril City.

The Northland Alliance investigation team tracked the movement of the Jianfeng team so far, but in a laneway not far from the city, the clues were suddenly interrupted.

At first glance, the Arrow Wind Squad seems to have disappeared out of thin air here, but how could the six living elves disappear out of thin air for no reason?
But after the preliminary inspection, the investigators almost frowned at the same time. Xia Duo found that the area where the incident happened was too "clean". Very little.

This kind of situation made him naturally think of the demons. Before that, he had experienced that the demons used a method of completely erasing the past history to hide the truth.

Erasing the past history is not a description, but a fact. It should be the same series as the method used by the demons to subvert the current timeline, but it can only be used in a local area. Drop the current timeline.

If the disappearance of the Jianfeng team involves the demons, then this matter will be quite complicated!
Judging from the current investigation results, the Jianfeng team did disappear here, because there is no follow-up trajectory. Of course, disappearance does not mean death.

It is also possible that a teleportation was carried out here that was so quiet that it was not monitored by the Metril City Mystery, and then the traces here were completely erased.

There are at least two problems here -

Why do you want to do it in the city of Metril?With so many opportunities before, it is too troublesome to do it here not only to hide the mythos, but also to avoid possible witnesses.

Is it a provocation?Or did the Jianfeng team stumble upon some kind of ulterior secret temporarily 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 are demons who have taken action, but it does not rule out that Ye Erlan has mastered similar means.

……

Just when Xia Duo was deep in thought, Doom's arrival interrupted his thinking. Doom came to inform him that he could interrogate the relevant people in Metril City.

Xia Duo was startled when he heard this, and asked subconsciously, "Ye Erlan actually agreed?"

"Why don't you agree? If they don't agree in this situation, then this matter can only be blamed on them."

"I see!"

Then, Xia Duo told Dum his discovery—mainly this method of erasing traces that was only mastered by the demons before, and then put forward his own opinion:
"I suspect that there may really be demons involved in this incident."

After Dum heard this, his face changed several times, and it took him a long time to tell Xia Duo, "The Northern Alliance has no record of such a situation, Lord Xia Duo, don't tell others about your discovery for now."

He was worried that after Xia Duo disclosed his findings, Ye Erlan would take the opportunity to throw the blame. At the same time, to a certain extent, this could be regarded as a denial of other investigators. If the judgment was wrong, it would have too many adverse effects.

So he hoped that Xia Duo would not make this discovery public for the time being.

In this regard, Xia Duo didn't have much opinion. After all, he came here more to find the possible fog than anything else. However, he also decided to focus his investigation on the demons.

After all, whether it is the fog or the current situation, it is inseparable from the demons. Maybe this is the beginning of the fog.

There is not just one fog event in the prophecy, but many, with wide-ranging effects. It may appear in farms, forests, and of course it may also appear in cities.

If it only appears in a city, the impact it will cause is far from comparable to other places. Metril City is a large city in the south of Yeerland, with a permanent population of close to one million.

The characteristic of the fog event in the prophecy is that there are no exits, and if it occurs in Metril City, it will almost be equivalent to a million casualties.

Even Ye'erlan couldn't afford such a loss.

……

Thinking of that possibility, even if he regards Yeerlan as a future competitor, Xia Duo can't help but worry about hurting his own kind. After all, this kind of thing may happen in Yeerlan, and it may happen in Netheril. Big summer collar.

The key is the fog. The Northland Alliance in the prophecy even figured out what it was. Compared with tangible enemies, unknown attacks are the most terrifying.

"Go, go and see the interrogation situation!"

Xia Duo noticed that other investigators were already walking in one direction of the alleyway, so he quickly called Dum, and the two walked behind.

On the way, Xia Duo asked about the identity of the Metril city elf who was being interrogated this time, and Dum also made a brief introduction for Xia Duo:

"The main four elves are the city lord of Metril City, the commander of the city guard, the chief mage, and the owner of the laneway where the incident happened-an elder of the city council.

"Among them, the city lord holds most of the approval and communication authority of the fan lock, the commander of the city guards is directly responsible for the city defense and public security, and the chief mage is responsible for maintaining the fan lock, and is the only one who has the opportunity to do something about the fan lock."

Except for the elder of the city council who seemed to be lying on the gun, the other three elves were too important. If there was a problem with one or more of them, it would be even more serious than the loss of the Jianfeng team itself.

Previously, due to many infiltration incidents of demons and the follow-up of the Sruvand War, Yerlan, Sruvend and even the independent kingdom of Elam, which had been separated from Sruvend, would conduct regular demonic reviews internally.

If the upper echelons of a big city like Metril have been infiltrated, then other places are unimaginable.

Of course, it is also possible that there are loopholes in Ye Erlan's internal review of demon descendants, or it is simply perfunctory. In addition, there is also the Kingdom of Elam, which has been independent for so long, but no demon descendants have been examined.

Although it is unlikely that the top executives of the Elam Kingdom are members of the Illuminati, but no demon descendants have been found, which is a bit too pure!
……

Soon, Xia Duo and Dum followed the other investigators to the center of Metril City. Seeing that the team was about to enter the Silver Spire ahead, Xia Duo quickly confirmed to Dum:

"Has the relevant authority of Metril City been transferred now? In case the interrogated elves are really infiltrated by demons, are there enough means to control them?"

"this problem--"

Dum also didn't expect Xia Duo to ask such a question, but this was indeed his negligence. He thought Ye Erlan made a concession and did not continue to ask for confirmation of this key information.

Thinking of the possibility of the Northland Alliance investigation team being ambushed at the Silver Spire, Doom couldn't help but see a little sweat on his forehead, and he quickly stopped Brad, who was about to lead the team into the Silver Spire. (end of this chapter)
