Chapter 564 The Missing City Lord Songlin
"Oh? How do you say this?"
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 to Lei Xiao, Marquis Rose responded, "But it's been more than a week, and the other party still hasn't moved, and there's 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."
The old general Burt took a step forward, saluted Lei Xiao, and said, "Back then, my subordinate once fought side by side with Huoder in the Fortress of Buluo in the extreme north, and I learned that he is an extremely punctual , and the respectable robe Ze."
"So that's it. It seems that the Marquis of Huo De has indeed encountered something, so he hasn't come to get the wine for a long time."
After listening to the words of several people, Lei Xiao affirmed thoughtfully.
Regarding the city lord of Songlin City, I only saw it once from a distance at the alchemist conference at that time, and I didn't have much impression.
However, judging from the information currently available, the other party is indeed a leader with a good reputation and an upright attitude.
Thinking of this, Lei Xiao rubbed his chin and said to the elegant 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."
The Marquis of Rose smiled and bowed to respond: "Because this matter is a bit too strange, so during the time when Lord Huo De broke the appointment, his subordinates asked the other nobles who came and went to ask about the status of Gelin City. Condition."
"In the end, I found out that since the Alchemist Conference, Lord Huo De has not shown his face in public in Songlin City for a long time, as if he disappeared out of thin air."
After finishing speaking, Marquis Rose's square face showed another hint of doubt: "This is obviously extremely unusual."
"Shuanghuaqing, are you saying that the city lord of Gelin has probably disappeared inexplicably?"
Ariel couldn't help showing a touch of surprise on her fair face, and blurted out.
"Back to Your Royal Highness, that's exactly what it is."
Nodding elegantly, Marquis Rose turned to Lei Xiao and said, "My lord, this is what my subordinates 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 shrugged helplessly.
"My 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 Ariel's exquisite face, there was a hint of doubt again, and she said in puzzlement: "Besides, there is no official news from Gelin City about the disappearance of the city lord, which is simply unbelievable."
"It seems that there must be an unknown secret in this."
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, then let's go directly to Gelin City to find out."
"Follow your orders! Lord Lord!"
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 1000 million golden dragons for backup.
Then, I went to the secret treasure vault of Lan Leng Castle, which is also located in the wine cellar, and carried out a hearty upgrade.
最终，在武器方面，获得了三阶长剑100把、三阶法杖200把、三阶十字弩200把、三阶重剑200把、四阶法杖2把、四阶长剑2把，还有三阶大盾100面。
防具方面，获得了三阶轻铠100套、三阶皮甲100套、三阶板甲210套、三阶重铠320套、四阶重铠1套、四阶轻铠1套、四阶皮甲2套、以及珍贵的100套三阶精灵布甲与200件三阶精灵法袍。
In terms of potions, they obtained 550 Tier 5 Charging Pills, 430 Tier 6 Holy Moon Charging Pills, [-] Tier [-] Healing Potions, and [-] Tier [-] 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套三阶重铠、100把三阶重剑、100面三阶大盾、100把三阶长剑、100套三阶轻铠、200把三阶法杖、200件三阶法袍、100套三阶皮甲、以及100把三阶十字弩，便是出现在了秘密宝物库之中。
It goes without saying how surprised and ecstatic Marquis Rose was in the face of the shining and splendid scene in front of him.
Lei Xiao, on the other hand, instructed the other party to change the clothes of his confidant guards slowly without attracting attention, and then walked out of the gate of the huge secret treasure house with light steps.
After finishing all this, Lei Xiao didn't stay any longer, and bid farewell to the reluctant Marquis Rose with all the main subordinates, and galloped straight towards 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 potion supply, compared to before, this elegant 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.
After a long drive, when Lei Xiao and his party, besieged by the wind and dust, 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.
"Don't be too polite."
Lei Xiao nodded slightly, and while signaling the main force subordinates to rest and drink tea at will, he said to Maiya and Fran in front of them: "How is the operation 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: "My lord, just before you came here, the shadow members who were monitoring the Lord's Mansion of Songlin City and the surrounding areas of the city have just sent back one after another. information."
"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 has all the mining areas that are being mined been sealed off, but also a large-scale secret search operation has been launched 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."
Lei Xiao nodded, and 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."
Mai Ya, with gray temples, bowed and responded: "Because these two people have taken over part of the duties of the city lord of Gelin after they became adults, so it should be led by these two people, assisted by the elders in the clan, and jointly Manage Songlin City."
"It's kind of interesting."
Lei Xiao raised his eyebrows, 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."
I saw Mai Ya, who was about to enter her sixtieth year, continued to maintain a respectful posture, and said: "I have settled in Gelin City for more than ten years, and there has never been a blockade of mine veins. After all, this is Gelin City. From this, I speculate that the disappearance of the city lord Gelin may have some kind of 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. If that's the case, the fact that the other party didn't make an official announcement can be explained clearly."
Lei Xiao leaned on his chin with one hand, and thoughtfully said: "One is to maintain the normal operation of the city, and the other is to maintain the family's reputation. After all, the lord of a city disappears for no reason. 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."
Bert stroked his gray beard lightly, and echoed, "However, since there has been no news from the Lord of Hod, in desperation, we have to expand the scope of our 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."
Beside the tall and burly Burt, the slender orange-white man had one hand on his hip, with a puzzled look on his face.
"It can be seen from this that there must be another mystery."
Lei Xiao shrugged his shoulders, and then 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 a one-time job." an impossible thing.”
"My lord is right!"
At some point, Chaoyan put on the witch's 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."
"The next thing 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 your 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 mouth, 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 already frowning brows almost twisted together.
"Sister, what should we do?"
A look of panic suddenly appeared on the young man's face, and he quickly asked, "Don't they dare to take advantage of our father's absence to attack us?!"
