The Beginning of Panlong: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 87 Investigate!

The calm night in Duke City looks like water.

In Hogg's perception, life is like ripples on the water, but this cannot escape his perception, but it cannot be clearer.

Duke City is a very large county town with a total population of nearly one million. It is naturally impossible to sense the vitality of so many people.

In Hogg's eyes, these people are like densely packed ants. Of course, the human eye cannot distinguish the faces of the ants.

However, it would be much easier if it was just to detect warriors and magicians above level seven.

Ordinary people are like ants, and seventh-level warriors are at least like moths, much more conspicuous.

The ratio of level seven experts to ordinary residents is almost one ten thousandth.

In other words, among a population of one million, there are less than a hundred strong people at level seven or above.

Moreover, the aura of a seventh-level strongman is very different from the aura of a sixth-level warrior or a sixth-level magician. They are not of the same magnitude at all, and they are particularly easy to distinguish.

This is easy to detect.

There is only one ninth-level strongman. It seems to be a ninth-level warrior, and he is currently in the city lord's mansion.

There are five eighth-level experts in total, two in the city lord's palace, one in the same hotel as him, and two others scattered throughout the city.

There are hundreds of seventh-level experts, and more than ten of them are on the streets. .Hogg's soul power swept through a small area and immediately knew the identities of these people.

Because these dozen seventh-level warriors were all knights wearing heavy armor. They led a small team under their command and silently patrolled the streets.

This should be the city lord's response to the disappearance of children in Duke City, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be of much use.

Hogg could see that these knights were not simple either. They wore heavy armor and fine iron giant axes.

These people, even ordinary armored knights, are at least sixth-level warriors, and the seventh-level warriors Hogg sensed before are the "captains" and "vice-captains" among the knights.

There are more than ten such teams, and they are not something that an ordinary Earl City Lord can mobilize.

As the most famous heavy cavalry in the Luo Empire, ordinary heavy cavalry are at the level of sixth-level warriors. Together with the war horses under their crotches, they can produce an impact comparable to that of seventh-level warriors.

A group of heavy cavalry attacked frontally, and the eighth-level and even ninth-level warriors had to get out of the way.

But considering the top wealthy family in the Luo Empire behind the Lord of Duke City, this is not surprising.

In just three months, hundreds of children disappeared in Duke City, which was enough for the Duke City Lord to be impeached.

If the case cannot be solved, Duke City Lord can only give up his position as City Lord, and then go home to nurse the child.

There are more than a hundred such heavy armored cavalry in Duke City, quietly patrolling the streets, catching anyone who may be suspected.

Unfortunately, they didn't catch anything.

From the perspective of "Eye of Life" and "Power of Soul", Hogg found that the security of this city at night was very good, and the inevitable thieves, gangsters, and all kinds of "rats" who lived in the gutter were all inevitable in a normal city. Don't walk on the streets at night.

As soon as they appeared, the energetic group of heavy armored cavalry would not give up these mobile feats.So they can only crowd in the smelly sewers, in noisy pubs, and in various places.

Except not on the street.

However, Hogg didn't think that the large number of missing children was caused by these urban foxes. They didn't have the ability or the courage.

Hogg's "vision" continued to expand, and he saw the mobilization of troops outside Duke City.

Exploring the breath of life is the first step.

The second step is to further use the power of the soul to carefully explore the places he thinks are suspicious.Turning his gaze, Hogg used the power of his soul to explore the city lord's mansion in detail.

Lord Duke's face was filled with sadness, and there was a faint aura of ice surrounding his body.

To be able to firmly hold the position of city lord, this Duke city lord is not a simple person.

He is a nobleman who has considerable attainments in water magic and is a seventh-level water magician.

However, his personal strength and magician's wisdom did not seem to help him find the missing children.

Under Hogg's investigation, he only saw him venting his anger on his men, but showing no way to do anything about it.

The power of the soul was withdrawn, and then swept in another direction. The largest area in that area was a bunch of tent-like buildings.

Red Tent Street, Luo Empire style red light district, Flower Street.

On weekdays, this red tent street is very lively, and the dancers from the Luo Empire are one of a kind.

But in this current environment, even the ladies on Flower Street are not doing much business.

However, Hogg noticed that in a large "red tent" deep in the street, there was a secret passage leading outside the city.

But this is not unusual. He saw at a glance that there were more than ten similar secret passages in Duke City.No big city is short of such "secret tunnels". Some are dug by private individuals or various forces within the city, and some are simply dug by official forces.

There are multiple channels and multiple roads, and this principle applies to them all.

But here, there are two seventh-level warriors stationed in the passage.However, under the investigation of soul power, these two people were just guarding in the passage, but there was nothing suspicious about it.

Marking a key point, the power of the soul moved away.

In the southwest corner of Duke City, there seemed to be several magicians drinking in the tavern. . .At least someone wearing a magician's robes.

They seemed to be discussing the missing children, but what they said was just hearsay and was not helpful to Hogg.

But Hogg didn't care either.

The eye of the sky can roughly judge the position and strength of a "person", while the detection of soul power is more detailed.

Combining the two, he could tell at a glance what was being discovered in the city. On the contrary, processing the information in this huge scope of exploration gave him a headache. It was very difficult to process so much information.

After screening out the "suspicious persons", Hogg turned to investigate each area from the perspective of "victims".

The aristocratic area can basically be excluded.Kidnapping children would normally not challenge a well-guarded area.

Wealthy citizen areas, detect and target families with children at home.

In ordinary civilian areas, detect and target families with children at home.

slum area. . .

Everywhere is a street, everywhere is a home.

As long as there are children, Hogg can't find a trace of consciousness to lock on.But he also keeps the rhythm of life in mind, and once there is a change, especially if there is a breath of life above level seven, he will immediately use the power of his soul to detect it.

He was waiting for the "suspect" who kidnapped the child.

Catch thieves and take stolen goods. As soon as someone kidnaps a child, he will be able to detect it immediately.

It wasn't that he was going to catch him on the spot, but he was following the clues to see who was behind it.

Finally, after waiting for half an hour. . .Someone is moving!
