After leaving Lan Watson, Rollin and Sha'er rushed all the way east, and met several mercenaries looking for them along the way, but they were all minor troubles, but they were all solved neatly by the two who cooperated tacitly.

Four days later, the two arrived at the entrance to the passage described by the Spirit of the Giant Eagle.

"This passage is a little deep." Luo Lin looked at the entrance from a distance, in front of him was a city, in the courtyard of the castle of the city lord, there was a super giant tree nearly two hundred meters high, with a diameter of thirty meters at the bottom, and the crown of the giant tree spread out, covering half of the city.

Now here's the problem, according to the Spirit of the Giant Eagle, the entrance to Nodashir is hidden at the root of the Giant Tree, hidden from anyone. But this tree is in the middle of a city castle, and it would be a bit of a hassle to sneak into it silently.

"I know here. This is the giant wood city, the city has a population of more than 100,000, the scale is not large, this big tree is their sacred tree, except for the city lord, no one is allowed to approach, let alone desecrate, there are heavy guards around the giant tree. Things are getting a little tricky. Sha'er, who had always been afraid of heaven and earth, also frowned.

The message from the Giant Eagle Soul only said the approximate location of the tree, but it did not say that there was a city here, but that there was a giant tree in the valley and that the passage was under the tree. It is estimated that this news was a long time ago, and it should have been a valley at that time, but in the following time, a new city was built in this valley.

"Let's go, let's go into town. Understand the situation and then figure it out. Luo Lin said, he walked towards Giant Wood City first, and Sha'er followed closely behind him.

All the way forward, as the two of them got closer and closer to Giant Wood City. A tense and oppressive atmosphere is getting thicker and thicker. Along. The pedestrians they met were all in a hurry. frowned, and there were fewer people entering the city and more people leaving the city.

"There is a panic here, something must have happened in the city." Rollin frowned.

"This matter should have been covered by the city lord, and the matter has not really spread, otherwise there should be no merchants entering the city at this time." Sha'er reasoned.

Rollin nodded, and he pulled a passer-by dressed as an ordinary merchant and pulled out a gold coin. smiled: "Brother, ask something." ”

The merchant glanced at the gold coin, then nodded, "You ask." ”

"My woman and I want to go into town, but I don't feel right, can you tell me about it?" Rollin asked.

The merchant turned his head to look at the guards at the city gate not far away, his eyes were wary, and he was reluctant to give up the gold coins in Luo Lin's hand, so he pulled Luo Lin to the back of a tree, avoiding the eyes of the guards, and then lowered his voice and said, "There is indeed something in the city. It's been a month. Strange things happen all the time in the city. ”

"Strange things?" Rollin is a little incredible, in this magical world of infinite possibilities. He really couldn't think of anything that could be called weird.

"yes, weird." There was a look of horror in the merchant's eyes, and he looked left and right, as if he was afraid that something suddenly appeared in the air and grabbed him: "Many people in the city are missing. These people were fine during the day, but disappeared overnight, some had one less person in their family, and some had their entire family gone. Someone saw with their own eyes that those few people suddenly disappeared, they were still there a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, they were gone. ”

"If something is such a big deal, the city lord doesn't care?" Sha'er interjected. She wasn't surprised that someone disappeared in the blink of an eye, in front of ordinary people, she and Rollin could do similar things.

The merchant turned his head to look at Sha'er, shook his head, and said, "Whatever, why don't you care?" But the lord of the city couldn't control it. The lord of the city sent guards to investigate everywhere and imposed a curfew, but nothing came of it, and people continued to disappear at night. By now, I estimate that there are at least 500 people left in the city."

The merchant stretched out a slap gesture, his face was full of fear, and then a carriage passed by the side of the road, and the merchant immediately stopped, and when the carriage passed, he continued: "Everyone is panicked, I was originally here to do business, and now I can't stay any longer." This hellish place is terrible, I still have a wife and children at home, but I can't throw my life here. ”

Sha'er asked, "Did any of the guards in the city disappear?" ”

"Yes, why not? A city guard who originally lived next door to me, a family of seven, disappeared overnight. I looked at their room, and the furnishings were not messy at all, as if they had just left the house, but they just didn't show up again. I stayed in that room for a while, and I didn't feel well. Oh hey~ It really scared me to death. The merchant patted his chest, and he was choked by the scene.

"Is there a Force warrior missing?" Rollin interjected.

The merchant shook his head: "I don't know about that." The city lord must be holding this matter tightly, even if there are really fewer people, how can we civilians know? ”

Indeed, if the Force warriors, who are the core force of the city, can't resist this strange thing, then the city's reputation will be ruined, and no city lord will let such news leak out.

There was nothing more to ask, and Rollin handed the gold coin to the merchant: "Thanks, brother." ”

"Say something, hehe. If you want to go into the city, be careful. From what I've observed, the chances of outsiders going missing are much higher than those of locals. The merchant kindly instructed.

Rollin's heart moved, and after thanking him, he and Sha'er continued to walk towards the city. The two exchanged words in a low voice as they walked: "You asked this just now, do you suspect that the city lord did this?" ”

Sha'er nodded: "There is this suspicion." You see, this kind of thing happened in the city, and it was not solved for a long time. I really can't think of any power in Troll that would make a city lord helpless, or even clueless. ”

In the world of Troll, the master of a city represents the power of the pyramid of this continent, even if there are more powerful masters among the commoners than the city lord, it is absolutely impossible to play a city lord in the palm of his hand.

This kind of thing, even if Luo Lin and Sha'er cooperate now, may be able to do it for a while, but it is also a huge risk, and it is unimaginable to want to do it for more than a month.

So, in Sha'er's opinion, this thing is more like the city lord's self-directed and self-acting.

Rollin pondered, he really didn't believe it: "Do it. The lord of the city may have ruined his inheritance. Unless he's crazy. ”

"Who knows. Isn't the lord of Lynnburg still fond of cannibalism? Sha'er laughed.

"He ate bought slaves. It's different. Rollin shook his head: "It's not that simple. I just hope this doesn't bother us. ”

Their purpose is very clear. It's to go to Nodashir, not to look for trouble everywhere.

"I hope so." Sha'er shrugged her shoulders, the so-called artist is bold, she is not afraid at all, she really didn't hide from it, she got into trouble, it's a big deal. She didn't believe it, and she teamed up with Rollin. There are still people in this world who are their opponents.

The two had already reached the city gate, and after paying ten copper entrance taxes, the guard at the city gate gave them a pamphlet.

The pamphlet was printed with some basic information about the castle, and on the title page of the pamphlet were some warnings, the first of which was written in red, with an emphasis on warning outsiders not to go to a remote place alone.

"It's quite important." Luo Lin patted the pamphlet: "I see in this the good intentions of a city lord to maintain the prestige of the city." ”

"Who knows?" Sha'er has always been skeptical of self-theft.

After entering the city, the two found an inn closest to the castle of the city lord to rest, this inn is called the 'elf inn', the interior decoration is very exotic, and it is said that the innkeeper still has elven blood.

The inn was sheltered by the giant trees of the city. Looking up, the whole sky was turquoise. Between the branches and leaves, there are all kinds of birds flying around, and the number is too many to count, it is simply a kingdom of birds. Aside from the occasional worry that bird droppings will fall, living in this kind of place is generally interesting.

After settling down, the two did not rest, and went separately to the streets to find out the news. By the time she returned to the inn in the evening, Rollin had a thorough understanding of the situation in Giant Wood City, and Sha'er had brought back a bounty.

The bounty was issued by the lord of Jumu City, and it was posted in the adventurer's union in the city, and the content was to find the murderer of the missing case in the city, and the reward was 2,000 gold coins.

Two thousand gold coins, this can be regarded as a huge bounty, enough to recruit some mercenary powerhouses to do things.

"No one takes the bounty or no one can finish it?" Rollin asked.

Sha'er frowned a little: "This bounty has been posted for almost a month. At the beginning, there were mercenary teams to accept bounties, but these mercenary teams all disappeared, and it is said that even the top 100 Blood Rose mercenary teams in the Foggy Moon Continent capsized in this gutter. The captain of this mercenary team is nicknamed Flame Rose, I have worked with her before, and although her martial arts skills are not top-notch, she is also a good player, and she has a careful and cautious personality. If this matter was directed and acted by the city lord, she would not have taken it at all. This time, things are indeed a little weird. ”

Luo Lin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his plate this afternoon was not very smooth, but this disappearance case gave him a chance to get close to the city lord: "I have seen it, because of the disappearance case, the city lord's castle is very tightly guarded, almost leaky." We can't barely sneak in silently. Perhaps, this bounty will help us get into the castle. ”

"You want to take this bounty?" Sha'er's eyes widened, "But we ourselves are still the target of others." ”

"It's not that difficult, you can pretend to be someone else's identity, such as the mercenary master of the Sletat continent. It's so big, we pretend to be each other, and we don't have to worry about revealing our stuffing. Rollin laughed.

It's true that he doesn't want to get into trouble, but now he is taking this bounty to get a chance to enter Nodashir.

"Hmm~" Sha'er pondered for a while, and then there was a candidate for impersonation: "Starlet West has a pair of mercenaries similar to us, the male is nicknamed Brown Bear, and the female is called Fox, let's use this identity." ”

"Okay." Luo Lin naturally didn't care: "Let's do things first, and then go to receive the reward after we find the target." ”

Doing so will reduce the chance of being scrutinized.

"Okay." Sha'er nodded, "Let's go now, let's go outside." Doesn't the manual say don't go alone to a remote place? Let's go some distances. ”

"No problem." Rollin nodded.

The two of them immediately left the hotel, Sha'er in front and Luo Lin behind, and the two were separated by more than a hundred meters, and they went to a remote place in the city. Of course, this is not stupidity, but the confidence of the best masters, and both believe that no one in the world of Trol can sneak up on them silently.

The weather is clear tonight, there is still a white crescent moon hanging in the sky, the ground reflected by the moonlight is frosty white, because of the curfew, so the streets of the entire giant wood city are very quiet, except for the occasional patrol of the guards, there is basically no human figure.

In the dark night, the giant tree in the castle looked like a huge giant, and the moonlight in many places was obscured by the canopy, especially the castle of the castle, which was completely plunged into darkness, as if swallowed by the darkness.

Shar and Rollin were also in the darkness under the canopy. Luo Lin, who was following behind, turned on Long Jue, his eyes were firmly fixed on Sha'er, and his other senses were also activated with all his strength, feeling all the movements within at least three hundred meters of the surroundings.

In the eye of the dragon, Sha'er, who was dressed in dark blue leather armor, was very clear, and the surrounding situation was also normal, there was no special sound, no magic or force fluctuations, and everything was very calm.

In this unsurprising situation, Rollin blinked, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that Sha'er's figure was gone!

Luo Lin was shocked, and hurriedly ran to the last position of Sha'er, and looked carefully, but found nothing, Sha'er seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and never existed.

Just as Rollin was startled and anxious, he suddenly felt a familiar fluctuation, and immediately after that, he found that the scenery in front of him was distorted like water ripples.

Zhi Brain issued an alarm: "Spatial fluctuations have been detected, there is a teleportation spell that cannot be resisted, the teleportation has ended, and the current location is unknown." (To be continued......)
