A few days later, Gallo Qingyu and Balliard arrived at a village.

"There seems to be something wrong here."

Jialuo Qingyu jumped out of the window of a house, holding a bowl in his hand.

"You don't need to tell me that there is a problem here, but why are you taking a bowl?"

Balliard felt a strong breath of life in this village, just like a normal village with a prosperous population. However, there was no one in this village.

"The food in the bowl is still hot."

Gallo Qingyu threw the bowl to Valliad, and there was hot food in the deserted village.

"What do you think?"

Balliard was searching for something unusual with his own eyes. This village was filled with a sense of weirdness, not just the bowl of warm rice that Jia Luo Qingyu threw over, but also the still warm food in the basin.

Animal blood, smoke rising from the roof.

It's as if this village is inhabited by a group of invisible people. They live here and use everything that mortals can see, but cannot be seen by mortals.

"Maybe he ran away? There were no signs of fighting in the house, so we can rule out that he was attacked by an unknown person."

Jialuo Qingyu confidently expressed his conjecture. Wasn't the village where the priestess was located moved its entire family because of Balliard's arrival?

Maybe the people in this village got wind of the fire demon and simply packed up and left.

"It doesn't look like it. You said they ran away. So, these people put down what they were doing, stopped eating, stopped cooking, and were about to run away. So, is there any mess in their rooms?"

Balliard walked to the door of a house and opened the door. Various facilities inside the door were neatly arranged.

"They would not have fled in a hurry. They might have evacuated in an orderly manner, but this kind of command and prohibition is not a characteristic of the Freljord people, but more like an imperial soldier."

"Imperial soldiers? Is this possible? This place is in the hinterland of Freljord. Even the Marquis of Kaiyang did not attack this place."

Jialuo Qingyu didn't believe that imperial soldiers would appear here. It was too outrageous. Marquis Kaiyang could be said to be the person who beat the barbarians the hardest in history. The army advanced nearly a thousand miles into Freljord, but it was still very far away from here.

distant.

"Who knows, if that old guy had calculated this far, he might have actually planted a secret in Freljord. After all, Freljord is a vast and sparsely populated place where tribes and villages can be established.

Quite a few, but the Freljordians can't take all those areas.

With the power of Marquis Kaiyang, it is not very difficult to transport personnel and materials to the interior of Freljord, but it will receive a lot of criticism. Therefore, even if he does so, he will keep it very confidential and come to Freljord.

Virtuous people must be his confidants."

Balliard didn't have time to collect information to see if Marquis Kaiyang had really done such a thing. Anyway, just think of everything in the direction of Marquis Kaiyang's omnipotence.

Brand is the demon of flames. It is impossible for Marquis Kaiyang not to know this information. The demon of flames has been sealed by the Coffin of Perfect Ice for tens of millions of years. The demon's power will inevitably decline. Even Balliard can think of this.

How could the Marquis of Kaiyang not think of this?

The rest is just whether Kaiyang Hou wants to hinder Brand's recovery of strength. If he is willing, he will send people even if he doesn't know that this kind of thing will happen today.

It's just that... the manpower sent by Kaiyang Marquis should not be in Freljord, right? Balliard doesn't believe that Kaiyang Marquis even has a huge fire vein underground in Freljord. This kind of Freljord people themselves

I know everything I don't know.

But he couldn't guarantee that Marquis Kaiyang definitely didn't know.

"You still know Marquis Kaiyang!"

Jialuo Qingyu's cry added a little life to this lifeless existence, but what followed was a deeper silence.

"Well, I know the old one and I know the young one."

If God could give him a chance to come back, he would be a big trouble if he didn't want to know Jiang Yan or Kaiyang Hou.

"You also have an important status in the empire?"

Knowing both the old Marquis Kaiyang and the younger Marquis Kaiyang, Jialuo Qingyu could conclude that Balliard's status in the empire was unusual, and ordinary people could not contact Marquis Kaiyang.

"So-so, a rather troublesome identity. Let's not talk about this. Let's continue to search in the village. Are there any clues that this group of people are Kaiyang Hou's troops and they evacuated here not long ago. How did I do it?

I don’t even believe it.”

Balliard did not want to tell Jialuo Qingyu his identity as a natural Taoist body. With Jialuo Qingyu's family background, it is impossible that he has not read books. And after reading books, he will naturally know that he is born with a Taoist body, just like a person.

Just know Vince St. Reese.

"Okay, I'll go to the east and have a look, and you'll just look to the west?"

Jialuo Qingyu's interest is not ordinary. Exploring the mystery of the disappearance of the mysterious village's population? It's so exciting!

"Okay, pay attention to safety. I always feel that this place is very weird. Don't be careless. If you find any danger, come to me immediately."

Balliard was both reassured and worried. What was reassuring was that Jialuo Qingyu was an explorer and was quite professional in finding clues. Furthermore, Jialuo Qingyu was already a transcendent and was strong enough to protect himself.

But he is still worried that Freljord is an ancient place, and there are countless dangers hidden here. Who knows if a demigod will happen to sneeze and blow a burst of thunder to kill Garo Qingyu?

?

"no problem!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jialuo Qingyu disappeared. With his tough body, his physical fitness has been improved in all aspects, and it can also improve as his realm improves.

Just running was as fast as his previous short-distance teleportation. He even felt that now he could easily cross hundreds of meters with short-distance teleportation.

"The strength is growing really fast. Lux's eyesight is really good. Not to mention handsome, she has good strength, good talent, and good knowledge. As for Galo Qingyu's archaeological exploration career, her financial strength is also good.

Men don’t worry about not having beautiful girls at all.”

When Valyard tested Garo Qingyu that day, he knew that Lux still existed in this world line, and the relationship between the two was almost the same.

However, with Lux's talent, why hasn't she become famous even though Jialuo Qingyu has become a transcendent? Under normal circumstances, Lux's strength progresses faster than Jialuo Qingyu's.

After all, he is an archmage who grew up in a country like Demacia that rejects magic. His talent is so high that even Ryze would be ashamed of it.

Could it be said that Lux has no talent for practicing literature? Haha, the old bald man is jealous of those who are talented. He blocks the path of these talented people and lets them all learn their own path. No matter how talented they are, they can't follow it.

If you go out of your own way, you are also a scumbag.

"Don't think about this anymore, it's time to look for something suspicious."

Balliard began to search house by house. He did not believe in his shadow vision. Under normal circumstances, it would be fine to use it. However, using it on the Freljord would easily anger the ancient beings.

It's hard to say whether it's effective or not.

There are too many factors that can interfere with his magic, because there are too many demigods on the Freljord.

"Ballyard! There are bugs!"

Jialuo Qingyu's voice came from the east.

After Balliard heard this voice, he could judge that Garo Qingyu was using Arcane Leap based on the overlapping of the sounds of several words in the words.

"It's just a bug. What's there to be afraid of? A majestic and extraordinary person is afraid of a bug...wait, bug? Void!"

Balliard no longer hesitated, and a dragon bird immediately appeared under him, carrying him through the ceiling and flying towards the west...east. He really didn't want to save Jialuo Qingyu, but he couldn't bear to make such a friend.

Opportunities for allies.

"Jialuo Qingyu, come up quickly!"

The flying speed of the dragon bird is very fast, and the jump speed of Jialuo Qingyu is not slow. Behind Jialuo Qingyu, the purple mist slowly rises. In the mist, the void insect swarm is looking for creatures to devour.

"Huh - it's so dangerous."

Jialuo Qingyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Valliard was there, otherwise it would have been really dangerous this time.

"Tell me what happened? The Void Zrot swarm will not appear for no reason, nor will it bring the fog with it."

Balliard recognized what the mist was and knew who was behind it, but he didn't know how Jialuo Qingyu encountered that guy again.

"Well... there is a purple crystal over there, it looks like a lotus, although the petals of the lotus are not so angular, and then, I... kicked it.

Immediately afterwards, those bugs appeared. When I saw those bugs, I remembered my previous encounter. I was afraid that I could not kill these bugs, so I used most of the rune energy to gather missiles."

Jialuo Qingyu was a little embarrassed. He was the one who caused trouble again. If he hadn't kicked that thing, these bugs wouldn't have appeared. However, it was precisely because of his adventurous spirit that they found him.

clues to the disappearance of the villagers in this village.

"Then what? You killed all those bugs?"

Balliard didn't even know that Jialuo Qingyu had such a big shadow on the void without knowing it. It was difficult to deal with those bugs before because Jialuo Qingyu was only a mortal and had just come into contact with rune energy.

But now, Jialuo Qingyu is already a transcendent, and the ice blood in his body has awakened. Although he has not yet found a way to use it, he can also gather the cold air to freeze the target.

In this way, Garo Qingyu actually used most of the rune energy in his body to create a barrage of magic missiles to cleanse those bugs. He was too cowardly.

"Of course not, otherwise where did the bugs down here come from?"

Jialuo Qingyu rolled his eyes. If he had cleaned up all the bugs, would he still ask Balliard to save his life?

"What happened?"

Balliard continued to ask. The purple crystal lotus should be the Zlot portal. During the Icathia War, countless Zlot portals appeared in the sky and on the ground.

, the insect swarms in the void passed through the portal and entered Runeterra continuously.

"There was a little accident."

"What accident? Did the bear sneeze?"
