Chapter 940: How to Get the Edict
Listening to my words, Emily didn't respond directly, she first nodded, then shook her head, and finally said lightly: "I don't know." ”
Yes, after all, Emily is a qualified adventurer and not a qualified biologist, and it is normal for her to be unaware of the appearance of this strange species.
After another half of the day, we went home, and while we were resting on the sofa, I asked Emily, "Can you take me around the Imperial Tomb?" ”
Emily didn't agree or refuse, just looked at me lightly: "Why?" ”
"I'd like to see where those monsters are roughly where they appear."
"See what that's for?" She wondered.
"I think so, since they can collectively rush out of the Elven Forest and attack the Imperial Tomb, is it possible that there is their lair nearby?"
"No," Emily said, "I've searched all the two kilometers around the Imperial Tomb, and I haven't found any clues. ”
"Are you sure you've searched them all?" I approached her and said seriously, "Not even a **? ”
"Are you questioning my abilities?"
"No, I just think that some things can't be identified with conventional thinking, but need to be looked at with a different eye."
Emily stared at me, a little, and she said lightly, "I don't understand." ”
"It's okay if you don't understand, I can explain it to you."
As I spoke, I straightened up my body slumped on the back of the couch, moved my arms and legs, and began to explain to Emily in a state of being in a state of heightened spirit.
"I guess when you search for those monsters' lair, you're probably searching for the same way you would for ordinary creatures, right?"
"Yes."
"But have you ever wondered if this species of carrion, full of eyes and flesh is not a living creature...... Well, I mean, it's not a product of nature, it's something created by man. ”
Emily pondered for a moment and said seriously, "I haven't thought about it. ”
"I guess that's the case," I pondered, and I continued, "Since they were made by humans, there must not be their inherent nests in the Elven Forest, in other words, they were most likely improvised to attack the Imperial Tomb. ”
"I still don't get it," Emily said lightly.
Yes...... The brains of the elves are really choking......
"Actually, you can understand it this way," I decided to put it simply, "what is the most fundamental source of this thing made of carrion?" ”
Emily thought for a moment, "Meat." ”
"Yes, it's meat," I continued to guide her, "Then you say, where in the Elven Forest is there the most meat?" ”
Seeing her bewildered eyes, I added, "I mean the flesh of a dead animal." ”
"You mean...... Burial ground? ”
"That's it," I said, "have you explored there?" ”
"No," Emily shook her head, "The Bone Ground is a sacred place for us, and we wouldn't have gone there without the Empress's decree." ”
"Well, I know your custom and respect your custom, but now that it's happening suddenly, I hope ......"
"Without Her Majesty's decree, I can't take you to the burial place, this is the edict of the ancestors."
"The edict is also made by people, and it has to be treated in an extraordinary way in extraordinary times, isn't it?"
Emily thought for a moment, "I still can't do this. ”
...... TF, the elf's brain!
He shrugged his shoulders helplessly, it seemed that it was unlikely that he would pass through Emily's side, and he would have to find the Elven Empress or someone who could get the Empress to give permission.
The first thing that came to my mind was Elder Sonoda.
That night, I infiltrated Elder Sonoda's villa again, this time reading the newspaper in his room.
"Good evening, Elder Sonoda."
I pushed the door open and said hello from afar.
"Why are you here again, An Xiaoyi?" Elder Sonoda said a little displeased.
I can understand her displeasure, any visitor who comes without saying hello will not be welcomed by the owner.
"I'm here to ask you for a favor, hehe."
"You already guessed that this was the case when you came to my house," said Elder Sonoda Mai as he looked at the newspaper, "Tell me, what's the matter with me." ”
"Can you help me get a copy of Her Majesty's message?" I'm straight to the point.
"An edict about what?"
"A handwritten edict that allows access to the boneyard."
Elder Sonoda Dance was stunned for a moment, then she slowly put down the newspaper, looked at me and said, "You should know the meaning of the Bone Burial Land to our elven clan, right?" ”
"Know, it's a sacred symbol, a forbidden place that can't be violated at will."
"Now that you know, please go back."
She shook the newspaper and continued reading.
"I don't care what Moonlight City will become in the future, after all, I can only be regarded as an outsider who has settled here, if there is a disaster in the future, don't blame me for not reminding you in the first place~"
With that, I turned and walked out, mentally counting: one, two......
Before I could count 'three', Elder Sonoda Mai's voice came from behind me: "Liubu, what did you mean by what you just said?" ”
Elder Sonoda's voice was cold, as if he was facing the enemy he least wanted to see.
"Are you sure you want to hear it?"
Elder Sonoda Mai threw the newspaper on the table and said coldly: "Since you can say that there will be disasters in Moonlight City in the future, I would like to hear your opinions, but you have to be careful, don't tell me that you are just talking, but there is no exact basis and source, otherwise, I will imprison you for threatening the safety of Moonlight City." ”
"To be honest, I really don't have the basis or source, and the matter about the threat in Moonlight City is just my conjecture, if you really think I'm spreading rumors, of course you can imprison me, it's your right."
Elder Sonoda Mai glared at me for nearly half a minute before he said, "Tell me about your conjectures." ”
"You know about Emily's mission yesterday, right?"
"I know."
"She's said to be facing a bunch of carrion-flesh monsters with eyes all over their bodies, you know that?"
Elder Sonoda Mai thought for a moment, "Well, I know. ”
"That's good," I said, "Elder, do you think it's possible that this monster was born and raised in the Elven Forest?" ”
"Impossible," she said firmly, "Although the species that grow in the Elven Forest are strange, they are all full of life, and none of them carry such a heavy dead air. ”
"That's it," I said, "I agree with you, how can a place where a person is a great person produce such a terrible species, in other words, they are not born naturally, they should be created by humans." ”
"Are you suspecting that someone within our elves is experimenting with this filth?"
Elder Sonoda's voice suddenly became higher, and she was very excited.
