Yes, the city in front of me is really a bit strange. The city of Loperance is clearly within the territory of the human empire, but it looks too different from a human city, and the architectural style is completely different. What's even more strange is a black mountain not far outside the city. Not to mention the strange color of this mountain, it's too abrupt to appear here. It's obvious that the terrain here is the plain, with a flat surrounding it, and then there is a black mountain here for some reason. This is not right no matter how you look at it.

Although Li Huailin had never been here before, we can guess that the place was definitely not like this before. This is really a little conspicuous. In this case, it should be that Lagarde had become the current situation after he was sealed here. I don’t know what this guy is doing.

While thinking, Li Huailin had already flown over the city. What made people feel uneasy was that the whole city below was silent, as if no one was living inside. This situation was obviously a bit bad. Li Huailin was a little worried about whether something had happened. Of course, it didn't matter to the people in the city. Li Huailin was worried about Lagarde. It would be fine if this guy died. If he didn't die, then he couldn't find someone and didn't know where to go, it would be really troublesome.

Li Huailin lowered the height and also saw the situation in the city. Yes, there was indeed no living person in the city. Not only were living people, but there was not even a moving thing, but Li Huailin could not see human corpses in the city. In addition, what Li Huailin saw was all the buildings and grounds in the city, and it seemed that they were covered with a layer of black asphalt. This is why Li Huailin looked at the air a bit like a city of the undead. After all, the city of the human race is generally in white and gold-based urban styles, so the whole city of the undead is made dark.

After flying around, Li Huailin did not find anyone. He really didn't have a living person, including not even a player. This is really strange. Yes, it's fine if the NPC is gone, but it's very inexplicable that the players don't have it. Isn't this place strange? Players don't want to come over to see if there are any hidden tasks or the like when they see this strange place?

Of course, the most important thing is the City Lord's Mansion. The person Li Huailin was looking for was Lagarde, so Li Huailin soon found the courtyard that looked the most like the City Lord's Mansion in the city. As a result, he looked at it slightly and found no traces of people's activities. It should be that there was really no one, so it was very troublesome. As expected, Lagarde was gone.

"What should I do?" Li Huailin said with a headache. Of course, he said to the Summoning Jade Emperor next to him. After all, there are two people now, so I can discuss what to do.

"Let's find a living person to ask first. There should be people in nearby villages and the like." The Summoning Jade Emperor here thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, we still have time."

Li Huailin was indeed a little anxious. After all, there was a trial in the afternoon. Now I felt that it was really too late. I originally thought that I would do the simplest thing first, so I would fly over and kill someone so quickly. It would definitely not take long, but I encountered this trouble. I had known that I had carefully arranged Lagarde before and let him stay in the Duke's Mansion, so I would not have to be so troublesome now.

"Let's go." There was really no one here, so I had no choice but to figure out what was going on here first. So Li Huailin took off directly, looking for any villages nearby, and asking anyone there if there is any problem in this city.

However, just as he took off, Li Huailin suddenly remembered something. Yes, isn’t there anything more doubtful here than looking for people around him? Yes, it’s the black mountain outside the city. This is really a strange thing. I was in a hurry to go to the city to find someone but didn’t go to see it. Now of course I still have to take a look at this first.

"Go and see that thing first." Li Huailin pointed directly at the black mountain outside the city and said, and of course, the summoned Jade Emperor nodded. The two of them quickly took off and flew towards the direction of Black Mountain.

When he arrived above the black mountain, Li Huailin approached and looked carefully. Sure enough, the surface of the black mountain here was covered with a layer of black oily substance, which caused the thing to turn black, which was similar to the situation in the city. This thing was really not very good at first glance. Although he didn't know what it was, it was difficult to touch it.

Li Huailin walked around the black mountain directly, but did not find that there seemed to be an entrance. Yes, Li Huailin thought that this thing might have been a building before, but it was just covered with black mud, so he looked for whether he could enter, and then whether Lagarde was here or not, but he did not find any entrance, so he didn't know what to do.

Li Huailin considered whether he wanted to attack this thing directly. Yes, if it was a building, he would break his wall and rush in to take a look. However, after considering it, he decided not to act rashly. After the previous reminder of summoning the Jade Emperor, Li Huailin also knew that he was a little impatient. He was still a little more stable in this state without knowing what the situation was.

"Let's check around a little." Li Huailin thought for a while and said.

"Well, I saw that there seemed to be a road outside the city. You should be able to find a nearby village along the road." Summoning Jade Emperor said. I have to say that the professional players reacted quickly, and the Summoning Jade Emperor also quickly found the idea. Of course, Li Huailin nodded, both of them flew very fast, and they started to find it directly along the road, and they had a quick harvest.

"Then, it seems like a village." The summoned Jade Emperor pointed ahead and said.

Of course, Li Huailin saw it too. The two of them accelerated and flew over the village, but the situation seemed to be not very good, because they just arrived above the village and saw a mess.

Yes, something happened in this village, or something happened before. The village was quiet, and many houses seemed to have been destroyed, with all kinds of messy things spread on the ground. The whole village seemed to have just been robbed by thieves. Of course, it seemed that it was just a robbery, and Li Huailin and the others still didn't see any corpses.

"What's the situation?" Li Huailin was a little curious. He was just here to kill Lagarde, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a magical situation. This really makes people wonder what the situation was.

"Will there be a hidden mission?" asked the summoned Jade Emperor.

"There are really hidden tasks?" Li Huailin said that he had been mocking players who had nothing to do and thought there were hidden tasks on all sides. Is hidden tasks so easy to find? Unexpectedly, he actually encountered them casually. The current situation does look a bit like a hidden task.

"Do you do it?" asked the summoned Jade Emperor.

"I don't want to do the task, but now I have to find someone, so there is no way not to do it." Li Huailin said, "Anyway, go down and see the situation first."

The two of them quickly landed and started to find them in the village. Yes, although this village looks like no one, it is different from the previous city. The people in the previous city seemed to suddenly disappear. It was a mess here, and there was a big difference between the two, so it was obvious that they should look for clues here.

"There are bloodstains." They soon found clues. After they came down, they saw the bloodstains, but they had been a bit black in blood for a long time. It seemed that the incident happened here for a long time.

"It seems that someone attacked the village, and then the villagers here resisted." The summoned Jade Emperor next to him said, "Does the traces seem to be artificial, bandits or something?"

"It seems that this is still in my territory, and there are bandits?" Li Huailin touched his head, "Isn't it good for them to be bandits in the Human Empire? Why did he run to me to be bandits? Isn't it even worse to be caught?"

"Whatever you talk about with the bandits, they will go wherever they have money." said the Summoning Jade Emperor.

"The problem is that people in my territory have no money. I have collected 70% taxes. Generally, farmers who are poor will starve to death. What can bandits get if they rob here?" Li Huailin spread his hands, "I don't think they are not bandits."

"What is that?" asked the summoned Jade Emperor.

"It should be... a soldier." Li Huailin thought for a while and said,

"Soldier?" Summoning the Jade Emperor was stunned, "You said you were a soldier in the city?"

"Yes, the possibility of bandits appearing in my territory is not very high. Even if it really appears, it is too exaggerated to let bandits appear so close to the capital here, so it is more likely that the soldiers in the city are still soldiers." Li Huailin said as he pointed to the direction they had just flew over, "It should be the soldiers in the city over there. For some reason, they attacked the village here. It should be the order issued by the city lord."

"So sure?" asked the summoned Jade Emperor.

"Yes, this is the decisive evidence." Li Huailin pointed to a belt on the ground and said. It was a broken belt, which was broken in the middle, so it was probably thrown here. "This belt is obviously not a belt used by farmers, but a standard belt for soldiers. It was probably torn off when the farmers resisted..."

"Yeah, yeah." Summoning Jade Emperor nodded, "The analysis was very good, and then...what do you think the person over there is."

Li Huailin looked in the direction he pointed at the summoning Jade Emperor, but he happened to see a guy in leather armor looking at them from the corner next to him. Seeing the two pointing towards him, the man here turned around and ran away.
