Chapter 178: Missing The City Lord’S Mansion

A row of guards stood on the city, staring at the newcomers coming and going below like eagles.

Suddenly, a scoundrel sounded.

"Brother, it's shift change."

The guard standing guard had black eyes, but he still managed to turn around.

"You...why haven't I seen you?"

With just a chuckle, the man who spoke first pulled the soldier down from the stone pier.

"Look at you, your eyes are tired after standing guard all day. You don't even recognize me anymore?" The man raised his head and smiled wryly: "I am your grandfather."

The soldier saw clearly the appearance of the person coming, and when he was about to shout, he was knocked unconscious by the man.

The man put on a soldier's uniform, lowered his head and smiled with satisfaction.

"not bad."

Then, a cold voice came from beside him.

"Lin Yuan, we have to leave here as soon as possible. On the way up just now, there were a few more groups of people."

"knew."

Lin Yuan lifted up his armor, revealing his appearance as a disguised soldier, but the smile on his face was somewhat incompatible with the owner of the mask.

Not long ago, when they watched the carriage enter the city, they were wary of lurking in.

They didn't expect that there was an invisible magic circle outside the city. Fortunately, they walked there. If they had flown over in a hurry and bumped into this magic circle, they would have lost half their life if they didn't turn into meatloaf.

Fortunately, this magic circle is not complicated. They did not destroy the structure of the magic circle itself. Instead, they used the weak points of the magic circle to make a hole and walked through the gap.

But they didn't know much about the situation in the city, so they immediately grabbed two lucky guys and disguised themselves before taking to the street.

However, the situation in the city seemed to be different from what they imagined.

Logically speaking, if the prosperity outside is comparable, it shouldn't be much worse inside.

As a result, when they walked in, except for a few shops on the street, there were almost no other people in sight.

A strange atmosphere filled it.

Lin Yuan and Luo Qinghan walked cautiously, trying their best to hide their auras.

The city is very big, and the two of them walked for a long time without seeing the city lord's palace.

And there was no sign of the carriage that had just been driven in on the deserted road.

That group of people... seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

After walking around for a while, the two gave up their search and found a small shop to rest for a while. Maybe they could find out something from the waiter in the shop.

Just as I was thinking about it, there happened to be an inn nearby that was open.

Lin Yuan took Luo Qinghan over.

"Waiter, bring me a pot of tea..."

Before Lin Yuan finished speaking, or even took a step forward, he was invited out by the waiter.

"Sorry, we're closed today."

"Is... is it closing?" Lin Yuan was stunned and pointed at the open door, "At this point, the store has just opened. It's fine, so why is it closed?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter hung the closing sign on the door of the store and said coldly.

"Sir, we are closed. You can go somewhere else."

Lin Yuan glanced at the waiter suspiciously, but still led Luo Qinghan out.

After hitting a wall at every turn, the two finally sat at a roadside stall and had a moment to rest.

Lin Yuan played with the cup in his hand, but his mind drifted to other places.

It seems that since they arrived at this place, things seem to have deviated from the established track, making people a little unpredictable.

Is it the will of heaven?

"Are you two from out of town?"

A voice interrupted Lin Yuan's thoughts.

He calmed down and looked at the boss who was talking to them calmly.

Seeing that Lin Yuan and the two were silent, the boss smiled awkwardly, but still explained himself.

"Then what...don't think too much about it, I'm just asking."

"It's okay." Lin Yuan paused, "Dare I ask, did something happen in this city?"

The stall owner hesitated to speak, and finally sighed deeply.

"You outsiders shouldn't ask so many questions. It's better to leave earlier."

Lin Yuan wanted to ask a few more questions, but seeing the look on his boss's face, he swallowed his words.

"Okay, thank you boss for letting me know."

After the boss left, Lin Yuan's expression became serious.

It seems... there is really something wrong with this.

After resting for a while, the two started searching in the city again.

However, after searching the entire city, the city lord's mansion was nowhere to be seen, and even the shops on both sides began to close their doors.

Sensing something was wrong, the two people quickly left the city to avoid being noticed.

After leaving the city, the fireworks outside the city came back instantly.

The two people's ears, which had been quiet for a long time, were once again occupied by the noise.

Lin Yuan twitched his eyebrows and asserted: "There must be something weird about this city lord! We have to find ways to dig out the secrets in him."

Luo Qinghan reminded.

"Don't forget what the purpose of our visit is."

"Understood, the boundary sea and the city are grasped with both hands, and we strive not to fall behind."

When they came out of the hiding place, the two changed their appearance again and blended into the crowd.

At this moment, Lin Yuan suddenly noticed something strange.

Looking up, there was still a bustling crowd in front of me, and there was nothing wrong with it.

But why do I always feel like something is wrong?

Luo Qinghan looked sideways: "What's wrong?"

"No..." Lin Yuan said hesitantly: "I feel a little uneasy."

A few rays of light flashed in Luo Qinghan's eyes.

The two of them were a little vigilant, and after searching to no avail, they had to give up for the time being.

"Maybe I'm thinking too much." Lin Yuan sighed, "Let's go back first. Maybe we can find out some other information in the inn."

Luo Qinghan nodded.

Just when Lin Yuan was about to lift his feet, the sick feeling swept over him again.

He raised his head suddenly, trying to find the source of this strangeness.

However, when he looked ahead, he only saw an old man slowly passing in front of them.

Lin Yuan and Luo Qinghan subconsciously made way for the old man.

The old man thanked him quickly, and then walked forward with faltering steps.

Lin Yuan, who was naturally wary, couldn't help but glance at the old man twice.

"What are you looking at? Is there something wrong with the old man?"

Luo Qinghan's words attracted Lin Yuan's attention.

"without……"

Lin Yuan just opened his mouth to answer, but when he looked in the direction where the old man left, he found that the old man had already disappeared from the crowd.

Going so fast?

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment. The scene where the two met just now was still vivid in his mind, especially the clear eyes of the old man. He remembered it deeply.

He teased: "No... maybe I saw it wrong. It's nothing. Let's go on."

Lin Yuan said this to Luo Qinghan, but in fact he had secretly copied the old man's appearance several times in his mind so as not to forget his face.
