Chapter 353 The Mysterious Disappearance 1

Upon hearing Orion Wolfe's cry for help, Leo Ray did not hesitate to ask for his exact location.

However, on the other end of the communication, only a series of sounds resembling interference could be heard.

Soon after that, everything stopped abruptly and the communication was automatically cut off.

"What on earth has happened?"

Surprised, Leo Ray immediately tried to reconnect but received a notification that the connection could not be established due to unknown reasons.

After several futile attempts, Leo Ray tried to connect to Amelia, who accompanied Orion Wolfe, but the result was still the same—unable to contact either of them.

Next, to verify whether it was due to his own issue, Leo Ray connected to Belinda Wright who is situated far in his territory, and immediately heard the respectful response from the Half-Elf Girl.

"It seems like things are getting a bit tricky."

After confirming that Orion Wolfe and Amelia had indeed encountered some sudden crisis,

Leo Ray contemplated a bit, then informed Taylor and the others about the situation, saying, "Move at full speed. Our priority is to go to Mystara City immediately."

"Yes, my Lord!" In response, his subordinates' expressions turned stern and they replied in unison.

Having gone through a series of rapid movements,

As Leo Ray and his party flying swiftly over the peaks of the Pine Sound Range, they caught sight of a city on an island within a lake.

Upon closer inspection, it was just as Orion Wolfe had described.

This city was surrounded by water, and the outer city walls were not of ordinary square structure.

Instead, they were of regular circular shape and the stones used were rather white.

Under the brilliant sunlight, with the shimmering lake around it, the city indeed resembled a bright moon in the water, causing people to marvel at the sight.

"A perfect natural protective city river, towering walls, and well-designed streets… Truly a remarkable city."

At this moment, still on top of the peaks, Leo Ray's eyes narrowed as he admired the distant city and couldn't help but praise it internally.

"My Lord, something seems amiss with Mystara City…"

As Leo Ray observed carefully,

Abigail's clear voice reached his ears through communication, "Reporting to my Lord, this famous city within Coldflame territory, I have visited it once.

I remember, besides the famous protective city river of Mystara City,

Another important sight is the city center, an island within an island, which is also the location of the City Lord Mansion.

Furthermore, as long as one paid a hefty sum of Gold Dragon, even ordinary civilians could enter the designated area of the City Lord Mansion for a visit after strict inspection.

However, the current city center seems somewhat empty…"

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Leo Ray focused his attention, and a wisp of milky-white energy flashed across his black pupils.

After enhancing his vision to its limits, Leo Ray saw that there was nothing but an obvious lake in the island in the center of Mystara City.

He could not see any island within an island, let alone the City Lord Mansion built on it.

After a brief pause, Leo Ray finally reacted and exclaimed in surprise, "Abigail, are you saying that the City Lord Mansion of Mystara City and the island in the city center have both disappeared without a trace?"

"My Lord, it seems… that's the case," Abigail's equally incredulous voice came again, "You must know that as one of the city's landmark buildings,

The City Lord Mansion of Mystara City is a majestic giant castle, far larger and sturdier than typical City Lord Mansions. This situation is simply unimaginable."

"I never thought that there would be such an incredible thing… It seems that if there are no accidents,

Orion Wolfe and Amelia disappeared together with the entire small island in the City Lord Mansion of Mystara City, which caused the two to lose contact completely."

While moving swiftly, Leo Ray pondered with a furrowed brow for a while.

Then, he opened the communication and asked Gideon Black and Scarlett, "Is it possible that a powerful space magic mage,

Directly teleported the entire island in the city center away?"

"My Lord, just like the ship earlier, theoretically, this is indeed possible."

Hearing this, Gideon Black's voice sounded in response, "However, to my knowledge,

One important factor that determines the success of a teleportation spell is the weight of the object to be teleported.

The weight of a small island plus a castle undoubtedly far exceeds that of the tri-mast warship just now.

Therefore, even a Tier 5 Level space magic powerhouse would likely struggle to achieve this feat."

"Indeed, that's true," Scarlett's voice also reached Leo Ray's ears, "Moreover, my Lord, according to the knowledge I acquired from the Magic Tower,

Even for an immensely powerful space mage, once they cast such a large-scale teleportation magic, they would inevitably leave a large amount of abnormal magical fluctuations in the surrounding area.

Furthermore, these abnormal magical fluctuations cannot be concealed and would persist for several days or even longer before they would completely dissipate."
