Chapter 948: Infiltration
Leaving aside the disparity in strength between my guild and Emily's squad, I asked Lirea, "If you were to go to the Bone Ground, how would you choose to infiltrate?" ”
Lirea thought for a moment and said, "I'll find someone to forge an empress and find an appropriate time to sneak in." ”
"Hmm...... That's a good idea," I nodded.
"Isn't that right," Jura said, "Lirea, have you been in Eri City for so long that you have forgotten the caution of the elves?" How could a race that was so cautious in everything not investigate the Empress's edict! ”
"Of course we will do an investigation," said Lirea, "that's why I said to sneak in at the right time, for example, on the day of Her Majesty's travels." ”
Listening to Lirea's words, I couldn't help but ask her, "When does the Empress usually choose to travel?" ”
"Her Majesty's travel date is very fixed," she said, "and she will go to the annual sacrifices, ancestor worship and other activities in person." ”
"That's right...... When will the most recent event take place? ”
"I'm thinking about it......" Lirea thought for a moment and said, "Next month." ”
"It's too late," I said, "and there will be a lot of animal carcasses in the burial ground in this month's time, and all the previous traces will be destroyed." ”
"Traces?" The women looked at me and said.
"Well, that's just an assumption, and the sooner you get to the bone, the better."
Then the girls came up with a great deal of advice, but none of them worked, and I saw that it was not getting early, so I beckoned them to sleep, and this kind of thing could not be rushed.
For the next three days, I listened to the advice that the girls had been thinking about, but there were many risks, and I passed them one by one.
Actually, I didn't have much hope for their advice, because I had already decided what to do.
If you want to infiltrate the burial ground, the first thing that cannot be missing is the location and personnel arrangement there, which will be solved by Wren and Elder Sonoda Mai respectively.
Wren had already told me everything he knew about the bone-buried site, and on the night of the third day, Elder Sonoda Mai also re-explained to me the distribution map and staffing of the bone-burying site, which was roughly similar to what Wren had said, but on Wren's basis, she added some of the locations of the sentry to me.
Elder Sonoda Mai told me: "The patrol members usually change their guard every 20 minutes, while the dark sentry changes the guard every hour, and these dark guards are much stronger than the patrol officers on the surface. ”
I thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a situation where the guards and patrolmen change at the same time?" ”
"Yes," Elder Sonoda said, "But this possibility is very rare, so it's better not to have this kind of luck mentality." ”
"I'm just asking."
"Lie, you must think like this" Elder Sonoda Wu ruthlessly exposed my lies on the spot, and said solemnly: "If you have even a little luck, you can't complete this matter, my clan's attention to the burial ground has reached an extreme level, and any carelessness is unacceptable." ”
"Why do you pay so much attention to the burial ground?" I wondered, "It's just a pile of dead bodies." ”
Elder Mai Sonoda explained, "Our clan sees death as the beginning of another period of life, and the discarded corpse is regarded as a shell that should be respected, so the burial ground where countless bodies have been piled up will naturally become a sacred place for our clan. ”
"Hearing you say that, I feel that you don't seem to have as much respect for the boneyard as the other elves."
"Like you, the burial ground is just a place to pile up corpses," she sighed, and continued, "but as an elder, I must be an example to the people, and I must not change the faith of others because of my own faith." ”
"You are really a good elder who works hard and dedicated!" I say from the bottom of my heart.
"I'm not a good elder," said Elder Sonoda, "If I were really a good elder, I would have arrested you red-handed and detained you until you gave up the idea of exploring the sacred land of my clan." ”
Then, she sighed deeply: "But I didn't do that, not only did I tell you the coordinates and staffing of the burial place in private, and even the location of the secret sentinel, but I even helped you apply for an edict from Her Majesty the Empress...... Ah, I have done so many sinful things! ”
"Whether it is a sin or not, it depends on your own will and heart, Elder Sonoda Mai" I said, "If because of your seemingly betrayal of the race, you have protected the future of the race, so that the elven children can live in a safe environment, so that the elven parents can work hard and struggle for life without any worries, so that the elven elders can hold their grandchildren and granddaughters to spend their old age in peace, perhaps these are precisely because of the so-called 'betrayal'." ”
"If it were just my own betrayal, I would have been able to get this, even if I was charged with the Elves, I would have thought it would be worth it," her eyes were distracted, and there was a resolute old man's determination to sacrifice himself.
After a while, she raised her head and asked me, "An Xiaoyi, I'll ask you again one last time, are you sure that what you are doing is for the future of the elves?" ”
"No" I shook my head, seeing her pupils shrink suddenly, her face changed slightly, I continued: "I am for myself, to be able to have a peaceful old age in the future, to be able to play with my grandchildren and grandchildren surrounded by my wife, this is my ultimate goal, as for saving elves or something, I just piggyback." ”
"I see," Elder Sonoda Mai said seriously, "If your action fails, just tell the guards to find me, and I will find a way to help you." ”
"Don't worry, you won't fail" I smiled slightly: "Don't forget, I'm An Xiaoyi, the only person in the entire Moonlight City who can drop the Empress of the Bag." ”
That night, instead of going straight home, I stuffed a note in the crack of the door telling them my itinerary and promising to be back as soon as possible.
After that, I went to Wren, called Wren, and went deep into the Elven Forest together.
According to Elder Sonoda's drawing, we soon reached the vicinity of the burial ground, and sure enough, in some of the locations, I found the hidden sentinels lurking in them, and these hidden sentinels are really strong, if I didn't have this map, I would definitely be revealed.
"Did you show up with these people before?" I lowered my voice and asked Wren quietly.
Wren said: "Only a few of them appeared, but I can be sure that they didn't show me. ”
