“Well, this time our trip to Maron City was supposed to be about finding clues about Kombu’s disappearance. After getting involved in the Waters Family’s internal strife, I almost forgot about Kombu.”

Thinking about it, Leo Ray couldn’t help but curl his lips slightly.

Without hesitation, he immediately described the ins and outs of Kombu’s situation to Xenia Blackwood in detail.

“Please rest assured, my Lord. I will send people to thoroughly investigate in the city right away!”

On the other side, Xenia Blackwood agreed and immediately summoned Bella White to her side, giving her instructions.

By this time, it was almost noon.

So, Leo Ray didn’t do anything else and decided to stay at the castle for a while, waiting for news.

Seeing that the Lord would stay for lunch, Xenia Blackwood didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly prepared lunch personally.

Thus, the Maron internal struggle had completely come to an end.

This time, with their strong intervention, not only did they successfully put down the rebellion of the three elders, but also saved the lives of Xenia Blackvvood, Bella White, and the old City Lord.

Additionally, Maron City became officially under their control, serving as their second subordinate city.

Having this agricultural town not only further expanded their food reserves but also added a well-trained cavalry corps and three full-strength defense army corps, greatly enhancing their military strength.

“With both Maron City and Cyan Town located on the plains, they undoubtedly form a defensive barrier that supports each other, further ensuring the safety of the forest territory!”

Thinking about this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but rub his hands in excitement.

By the time everyone finished lunch, the local investigation on Kombu had already yielded results.

“My Lord, I have sent people to check all the taverns, inns, and dungeons in the city, as well as questioned the soldiers on duty during these days, but we have not found any trace of Mr. Kombu.”

Xenia Blackwood saluted Leo Ray respectfully, then continued, ‘We can now confirm that Kombu’s caravan did not arrive in Maron City.”

“It seems we can further narrow down the scope of Kombu’s disappearance.”

Leo Ray nodded slightly as he stroked his chin, and asked, ‘What about other merchants and travelers in Maron City? Is there any news worth noticing?”

“My Lord, I was just about to report this.”

Xenia Blackwood bowed slightly and continued, “After a whole afternoon of investigation by Bella White and others, we found out that there was a sudden

Mirage near the Ancient Battlefield Ruins, about two days’ journey from Maron City.”

“The Mirage is right on Mr. Kombu’s route to Maron City.”

“A Mirage?” Upon hearing this, Leo Ray couldn’t help but sink into deep thought.

With his growing understanding of this world, he knew clearly that a Mirage was a naturally formed illusion, similar to the mirages of his previous life.

It was full of danger and uncertainty, and for ordinary travelers or low-level powerhouses, escape was very difficult once they entered one.

However, for Tier 3 or higher powerhouses, the influence of a Mirage is quite limited.

After all, unlike an illusion set up and controlled by an Illusionist, this was just a special phenomenon formed naturally.

“My Lord, it seems that Kombu and the others are likely to have been affected by the Mirage, which caused them to lose their way.”

Linda pondered for a moment and said, “The Mirage has the widest range when it first erupts. It seems that the young man who arrived later was able to pass through the area smoothly after avoiding this time.”

Linda slightly bowed to Leo Ray and continued, “Also, many Mirages only affect people when they are extremely close, so the young man who hurriedly traveled obviously didn’t notice this.”

“That’s highly probable.” Leo Ray nodded and began to contemplate again.

As for the Ancient Battlefield Ruins, he had a general understanding from Linda’s previous report about the surrounding areas.

It was said that thousands of years ago, a great war had erupted there.

However, besides that, there was no record of the identities of the warring parties, the cause of the war, or its final outcome.

Moreover, for hundreds of years, numerous human history scholars had tried to study and investigate the site, but they couldn’t find even a single bone or equipment debris.

As a result, many people questioned whether it was indeed the relic of an ancient battlefield, and opinions varied.

Until today, it remained a hotly debated topic in the archaeological circle of the

Human Clan.

“It seems that this ancient battlefield might be related to the Blank Age three thousand years ago, as Jasper Richardson mentioned.”

At this moment, Leo Ray couldn’t help but frown and continued to think, “However, it’s quite baffling that an ancient battlefield would leave no trace of the battles that occurred.”

After pondering for a while, Leo Ray shook off these thoughts and focused on the task at hand, “Enough, our goal this time is just to find Kombu. As for other matters, they’re not related to us for the time being.”

Just then, as Leo Ray was thinking about this, a look of anticipation appeared on Scarlett’s face.

She blinked her signature big eyes, took small steps over to him, and said, “My

Lord, I’ve studied various methods to break illusions and Mirages in the Magic Tower.”

She continued confidently, “Especially in the Mirage classes, I was rated as an exemplary Mage. Please leave the task of breaking the Mirage to me!”

On the other side, Gideon Black adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and touched his skull necklace around his neck, saying, “My Lord, I happen to have extensively researched the Mirage as well and should be able to help.”

“Very good.” Hearing this, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction.

This morning, his storage ring, the Golden Pupil, had received a blessing from Penelope Welbourn, adding a special effect to increase resistance to illusions.

Furthermore, he had over 100 Wind Eye Pills in his storage bracelet, which could see through low-level illusions.

Adding their two magic powerhouses, Gideon Black and Scarlett, to their arsenal, they were well-prepared.

“Xenia, I leave things here to you. If anything happens, contact me through Mind Talk immediately, and I’ll be there as soon as possible.”

After nodding to the cross-dressing Waters Family head in front of him, Leo Ray turned to his other subordinates and said, “Alright, let’s set off.”

“Our target, the Ancient Battlefield Ruins!”
