Arcane Lord

"So Director Doom, do you have any suggestions?"

The situation was urgent at this time, and the tone of some investigators was no longer as kind as at the beginning. Especially when Doom was still a human, it was even more difficult to gain the trust of these elves.

Moreover, just as several people were talking, a strong vibration of the magic network came from the Silver Spire not far away. Envoy Yeerlan's face changed drastically when he saw this. Before Doom could speak, he shouted:

"No, Paris is isolating my authority. If he succeeds, we will be completely stuck here!"

For a moment, many investigators had panic expressions on their faces. Almost at the same time, they thought about whether Team Jianfeng had encountered such a situation when they disappeared.

But how to resist on someone else's home court? The usual research direction of these investigators is mainly in the field of detection, which has little to do with mystery locks, teleportation, etc.

Although most high-ranking mages have studied myth locks, the difference between specialized research and rough knowledge is still quite big.

Who would have thought that an ordinary investigation operation would encounter such a situation where the whole city was surrounded by enemies. At this moment, even the senior mage among the investigators felt sad and regretted participating in this operation.

At this time, Doom was still calm enough. He told everyone, "Let's think about what we should do as we walk. No matter what, let's stay away from this silver spire first."

Paris just shouted a slogan when he left, and did not call in helpers to do anything to Sha Duo and others. The only restrictions they are now subject to are the prohibition of teleportation and the prohibition of flying that come with the Mystic Lock.

Theoretically, if the speed is fast enough, you can go directly out of the coverage of the Metril City Mystery Lock.

At this time, after hearing Doom's words, the elf investigators reacted and moved quickly out of the city along the way they came.

When escaping like this, there is no need to pay too much attention to it. The investigators all showed their magical powers and were blessed with lightening spells, all relying on their long legs to run.

There are also those who use the Swordsinger's jump technique to move quickly. The Swordsinger's spatial jump is also a teleportation spell, but it is an ultra-short-distance teleportation and is not within the limits of the elven city in most cases.

Others tried to use flying skills. Banning flying does not mean banning flying skills, but prohibiting flying above one foot above the ground. Flying close to the ground is still okay.

For the high mage, the incarnation of the light elf almost comes with the ability to fly, and it is extremely fast, so the investigation team that was originally gathered together gradually spread out their formation during the run.

However, Shado knew that those who left first would still come back, because he did not stop exploring Metril City while running away, and he found that the city had been blocked.

From an unknown period of time, strands of erratic blue lines appeared over the city. It was not obvious at first. Only those who have been paying attention to the state of the city can detect such anomalies.

But when Xia Duo and others finally contacted the dwarf leader Ou Bo who was drinking in the city, the blue lines in the sky had become very conspicuous.

At the same time, the high mage running in front turned around and came back as Shado expected. One of the high mage from Irfalan told the investigators behind with a solemn expression:

"That damn city lord locked us up in the city. I tried to break the barrier that blocked us, but I couldn't succeed no matter how hard I tried."

"Messenger Ryan, what's going on with you Erlan? Don't you think King Helian and the Council of Elders of Gaoshu have no control over the city below?"

Some investigators began to target the only Yeerlan elf present. Of course, to be more precise, he was the only Yeerlan elf who ran away with them.

Metril City is full of Yeerlan elves, but these citizens are completely ignorant of what just happened. Only a few elves noticed the strange blue lines in the sky, but they didn't take it to heart.

After all, this is a big city in the south of Yeerland. Who can cause trouble here?

However, Ryan was not so optimistic. During the process of running away from Silver Spire, he had already tried to contact Tevi Mansa, but could not.

"This is definitely a long-planned rebellion by Paris. I can't contact Taivi Mansa now, and I don't have any close friends in Metril City."

"So there's nothing you can do?"

"No, there is another way, which is to launch a conscription in the city in the name of the crown prince and the envoy of the council, and summon spellcasters who are still loyal to Yeerlan to quell the rebellion. At the worst, we can send you all out of here first."

Many investigators were delighted with Ryan's method, but then some elves raised objections, "Can you guarantee that there are no accomplices of Paris among the casters?"

Of course, there is no guarantee. Even Paris, who is least likely to betray, has betrayed, not to mention other spell casters. Although Ryan is sure that there must be spell casters loyal to the crown king and the parliament in the city, but he Don't dare to gamble.

"Let me tell you, besides leaving here, the most important thing now is to figure out what Paris wants to do! If it is just betrayal, it has little to do with us outsiders. We can just wait for him to finish."

Seeing no way out, the investigators who regrouped finally began to discuss Paris's purpose. At this time, most of the investigators still hoped that Paris had no intention of becoming an enemy of the Northland Alliance.

But they ignored that the current situation is probably because they are about to discover evidence that Paris is an enemy of the Alliance. Since they are all enemies of the Alliance, they don't care about these investigators.

What Xia Duo knew better was that the erasure of the final traces of the Jianfeng team's disappearance was suspected to be related to the demon descendants. In other words, Paris might not be a simple rebellion, but was very likely to collude with the demon descendants.

When the other party left, he shouted the slogan "witness the new world". This made Sha Duo think of the demon's plan to subvert the timeline.

Of course, in the eyes of other investigators who are not aware of Paris's possible collusion with the demon descendants, that slogan may just mean that Paris wants to start a rebellion in Yeerlan and create a new regime.

…

In a garden in the southern district of Metril.

Xia Duo and other investigators temporarily stayed here, collecting information from the city while using detection and prophecy spells to detect the blue lines in the sky.

But just as everyone was discussing, there was a sudden sound in the distant city, followed by a series of strong shock waves from the magic network that were still very strong here.

Xia Duo quickly cast a spell to investigate, but the perception field had just been projected and was destroyed and disintegrated the next moment. The information collected at that moment told him——

Over there, the spellcasters from Metril City organized themselves to destroy a node of the city's Mystery Lock, but this did not cause much serious damage to the Mystery Lock itself.

It's not that Metril Mystery Lock also adopts a distributed node design, but that node is simply fake. It seems that Paris has been preparing for this day for a long time.

Even the city mystery lock nodes can be changed quietly.

It's no wonder that the other party almost ignored the original authority provided by Messenger Ryan.
