The reddish encrypted emergency documents represent the need for Lori to deal with them personally, and the clutter in this pile of documents is particularly glaring.

She reached out and took out the file, and saw that the signature outside was Tiger Tiger, the leader of the exploration team of Experimental Area 1.

The exploration team is responsible for cleaning and exploring the outer area of the test area, and the perennial snow has caused countless icebergs to melt on the edge of the North Continent, which are rolling and undulating, occupying a lot of area, and the outer part of the iceberg is the border, and then some are a section of the Great Wall of Calamity that used to connect to the North Continent.

When Li wanted to destroy the entire Great Wall of Calamity with his own hands, there was also a huge turmoil here, and the night watchmen retreated to the border area, crossing the snow-capped mountains and returning to the North Continent, and now those who can return to the Seven Continents have returned, and those who can't go back are loyal to the Oaks family in a new identity.

The Shield King is one of the few big names who supports the work of the Great Wall of Calamity, and has a good relationship with the Night's Watch here, and after containing them, the Shield King handed over these Night's Watch to his youngest daughter, Lori.

Lori has also participated in the border mission of the Great Wall of Calamity, and those night watchmen who have become difficult to approach normal people because of their long-term retreat on the Great Wall of Calamity have a good impression of her, and some of them have become exploration teams and joined the work of the experimental area.

This Tiger Captain used to be a night watchman, a level 3 player, he was framed in the early years for offending the non-Lu Ji family, and after being banished to the Great Wall of Calamity, he has been fighting in this cold area, and his more than ten years of guard career has made him advance from level 1 to level 3, and his strength is strong.

Lori flipped through the file and read it word by word.

Her Royal Highness Lori personally revealed:

Last month, the second exploration team found what appears to be an ancient altar like an eternal altar while exploring the snowy mountains on the border, according to Tanas (a native of the Northern Land Provinces, who has lived on the Northern Border for more than ten years), there has never been a similar altar here, although from the outside, the ancient altar has a certain age, very similar to ancient times, but it does not match the information provided by the local residents at all.

I have marked the area where the ancient altar is located in the map picture book, and it can be seen from the map that this border area is almost inhabited by border people due to years of snowstorms and occasional snowstorms, and there is currently only one village near it, which is the village of Tanghis, where Tannas was born.

Twenty days ago, I followed Tanas to the village of Tanghis to investigate the matter, and the border people unanimously agreed that there was absolutely no belief in any gods here, and there were no ancient altars from ancient times, and they had always lived here and knew the geography of this area well.

When I led them to the ancient altar, the expressions of the border people changed suddenly.

I suspect they're lying.

After leaving Tanghis Village, I shared my doubts with Tannas, and he agreed with me. Tanas was certain that the Ancient Altar had not existed, and the reaction of the border people had shocked him as well.

He decided that these fellow villagers were lying, the worst of the kind, and that they could fool me, a foreigner, but not Tannas, a native of the village.

The border people had little fighting power, and for the sake of it, Tanas and I chose to leave temporarily, and even though Tanas insisted that he left the village after he was eighteen years old and never returned, I was still not very comfortable with him.

After ten days of investigation, I basically ruled out Tannas's problem, and after applying to the Experimental District Management Committee, he and I went to Tanghis Village again, and as last time, the villagers were extremely enthusiastic, but after hearing that it was about the ancient altar, their expressions became a little unkind.

Probably considering that we are from the test area, and I am still a player, the villagers did not directly show their malice, they know that the player is powerful and terrifying, which is similar to most ordinary people, but at the same time, they are not too afraid of me, which is very unnatural.

It's no secret that even magic users can get terrified when they see a real player, and it's not like anyone else, and while that goes against your idea of equality, that's true, IMHO.

I've never seen any ordinary person dare to look at the player without much awe.

I've seen a lot of ordinary people who treat players as gods.

We refused the kindness of the village chief to accompany us, and went to the ancient altar alone to investigate, and on the way, Tanas and I saw some visions, and I felt it necessary to report to you alone, but at the time of writing this letter, I heard that you have been traveling back and forth between Asia and Europe, and you have not yet returned to Hokuriku, and I do not know when you will return, so I intend to write this letter to let you know about this and I can also leave for a third investigation.

The vision has two points.

First, Tanas and I saw a broken idol that resembled His Majesty the Shield King. The statues were mutilated, only the remains were discarded in the grass, and the idols were destroyed beyond recognition, and it can be seen that the vandals had a certain malice.

You should also know that Hokuriku is perennially poor, and the border people have always been attacked by the alien species who occasionally cross the border, as well as border bandits, wandering criminals, cultists, etc., who have made their lives miserable, and thanks to the help of the Oakes family, they have stabilized a little.

Therefore, many border people will erect statues of His Majesty in their homes to show respect and imply that those guys have been protected by the Shield King Oakes family, and many times they can survive the disaster.

His Majesty has thus become a living deity in the minds of many Hokuriku people.

Few other religious beliefs in Hokuriku have their origins here.

Now that these idols have been broken, does it mean that some people in the vicinity have changed their beliefs? And it is a malicious change, after all, it is common to change beliefs, but it is rare to destroy the original idols.

When I was in Tanghis Village, I made a special observation that every house did not erect statues of His Majesty, which was very abnormal, and after asking Tannas, I was even more convinced that these broken statues were from Tanghis Village, and he said that when he was a child, there were still many statues of His Majesty erected in the village.

The second vision.

Tanas and I came to the ancient altar, it is still the same as last time, it looks quaint, but there is not much change, the only change that can be seen is that someone is cleaning it often, as an ancient altar, it can be spotless in the snowstorm every time you come.

And after a few in-depth explorations, I found that this ancient altar has signs of use!

There were some small pieces of debris left on the altar after the sacrifice, and thanks to the player's keen sense, I was aware of these and collected some of them when Tanas wasn't looking, and brought them back to the testing area.

Three days ago, I received a reply from the testing center in the test area, and they told me that most of these residues were human skin tissue and internal organs, and that in terms of activity, the time of death was no more than ten days, and it was certain that the original owner was just an ordinary person, neither a magic user nor a player.

At this point, I suspect that this matter involves the worship of evil gods and the change of faith, as well as the issue of bloody sacrifices.

Personally, I don't think it is appropriate to make the broken statue of His Majesty public, so I did not choose to report it to the management committee of the experimental area, but wrote this letter to you privately.

Today, I made an appointment with Tanas to go to Tanghis Village for the third investigation, which happened to be the second team of exploration on vacation, so the players could rest for a full day, and I would have free time for you to thoroughly investigate these anomalies.

If Your Highness sees this letter, please reply to it.

- Your most loyal subordinate, Level 3 Guardian, Tiger

Lori put down the letterhead, her fingertips lit a faint fire, when she wrote this letter, Captain Tiger had already set off to investigate Tanghis Village, she glanced at the female assistant, cleared her throat, and asked indifferently: "Where is Captain Tiger of the Exploration Second Team now?"

When it comes to the player's information, the female assistant remembers it clearly, she took out the communication device and clicked on a light curtain: "Your Highness, Captain Tiger left the test area on a public holiday a week ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown. ”

"Really?" Lori rubbed her head, she really didn't remember anything like that, she was too busy these days, and she forgot about a lot of things that weren't very important.

The disappearance of a player can be a big or small matter, and since Tiger is currently the only one involved, it is not a first-degree accident, and this week, Lori has dealt with as many as seven first-level accidents.

"The management meeting of the experimental area also gave a new report a few days ago, and no trace of Captain Tiger was found in the nearby area, and at the same time, there was no sign of him returning to the Seven Continents, and all the assets under his name have not changed. ”

The female assistant clicked on the light curtain and said quickly,

"Captain Tiger was a night watchman, and his family and family were wiped out more than a decade ago, and all these years he was alone. ”

"Tell me more about Tiger as a person, and also show me information about a teammate from Exploration 2 named Tanas. Lori nodded slightly, her expression not changing much.

Micha, who is familiar with her machinery, knows that at this moment, Lori has entered the working state, which can allow her to quickly adjust and get rid of laziness, which means that this matter is very serious.

Otherwise, she can't move during this kind of nap time, and any official duties will be temporarily put aside.

"Yes, as the information shows, Captain Tiger offended the Ji family in his early years, and the entire family was directly wiped out in the name of rebellion, and his wife and a pair of children also died in the cleaning of the door, at that time he was only a level 1 guardian, he came to the North Continent border alone to act as a guard, and was exceptionally promoted because of his strong combat effectiveness, and the Ji family was unforgiving, and the border commander who was optimistic about him secretly sent him to the Great Wall of Calamity, and since then he has joined the Night Watch Legion...... Until that happened. ”

Speaking of this, she paused, subconsciously looked at Luo Li, observing the change of her expression, every time she talked about Li Xiang, she would always be distracted for a while, if she interrupted her at this time, Luo Li would be furious.

Sure enough, Lori was distracted for a few minutes before she was allowed to continue.

"After leaving the Great Wall of Calamity, Tiger defected to the Oakes family, and after being personally met by His Majesty, he was sent to the first test area, because His Majesty tested it, and we never doubted his loyalty and any problems. It is also true that in addition to being reticent and difficult to communicate due to his early experience, Tiger is at the top level in terms of ability and combat power. ”

In other words, the possibility of him fleeing and defecting without permission can be ruled out. Lori nodded, judging from the content of the letter, it can also confirm this, if it is a different player, it may not be necessary to investigate thoroughly.

The female assistant nodded and continued to say to the light curtain: "After Captain Tiger disappeared, the management sent many soldiers to look for him, but the result was that he was like evaporating from the world, and no trace could be found, because players sometimes strayed into the void world, and after a few days of fruitless searching, the matter was put on hold. In addition, on the day he left, he didn't leave a message with anyone about where he was. ”

"As for Tannas...... I'm sorry, Your Highness, please confirm if there is a member of the team with this name?or is it a pseudonym?" The female assistant searched through the records, and then posted the information of the exploration team two on the light curtain for Lori to see.

There really isn't a man named Tanas.

Luo Li's eyes slowly narrowed: "Check another village called Tanghis, as well as Tiger's whereabouts, activities, and people he came into contact with a month before his disappearance, and explore the place where the second team has carried out a mission." ”

"Yes. The female assistant's fingers moved quickly, and Luo Li's expression and tone had already shown that this matter was not ordinary, and she didn't dare to slack off, and called up all the information in an instant according to Luo Li's instructions.

Look at the light curtain full of text and pictures.

There are all kinds of indications that there is no player named Tanas in the second team of exploration, and at the same time, Tiger's recent actions have been alone, but some team members have secretly discussed some of Tiger's unusual behavior.

Talk to oneself.

However, since he came from the Great Wall of Calamity, many people were not surprised, and few people who came back from that kind of place felt normal, and then few people cared.

As for Tanghis Village, there was indeed an exploration record more than a month ago, and the snow-capped mountain village that the second exploration team accidentally bumped into when exploring the border, only Tiger went deep into the village that day, and when he came back, he only said that it was an ordinary snow-capped mountain village, so he didn't have to care.

According to the point in time, Tiger's anomalous behavior happened to occur after leaving Dungeth Village.

Luo Li handed the letterhead in her hand to the mechanical Micha to read, the female assistant was very curious about the content, but she didn't dare to raise her head and bow over.

After reading the letter, Mechanical Micha said lightly: "It looks like a cult ritual and belief, but few people have really mastered the use of the ancient altar, I suggest you ask a scholar who understands occult knowledge." ”

Scholar ...... The clock tower is gone, where did it come from...... Wait, Sister Miri?" Lori patted her head, "Sister, you send a message to Sister Miri in my name, just say invite her to deal with the issue of the ancient altar, by the way, tell her the truth of the matter." ”

"Good. Mechanical Micha nodded.

Tiger is missing, Tanners doesn't exist, and all kinds of strange phenomena make her dare not take it lightly, Lori gets up and prepares to follow the female assistant to explore the second team.

It can make a level 3 guardian quietly evaporate, and if there is really any evil lurking nearby, it is also a big threat to the test area, and it must be eliminated.
