In the end, Lin reluctantly put down the gem in his hand that had not been polished yet, but the exposed part was sparkling. It is not someone's style to like shiny things. Maybe he will be fascinated by the value for a while.
But after all, it's not what I'm pursuing, so I won't get lost and forget the purpose of this trip.
Having said that, if the red and white machine Gamario was placed here today, then all tasks would have been forgotten, and all the tasks would have been forgotten before returning home. I would have to finish the game first.
This exploration process went smoothly. But because it went so smoothly, Lin became suspicious of something. Liena said that there were 213 members of the Shenmu Guards, and 73 of them had appeared on the ground.
A total of fifty-five elves have been identified in the tree body area so far. Are there eighty-five elves left?
The reason why Lin suspected this matter again was because he felt that there were too few elves encountered in the passages and internal passages of the World Tree.
Maybe the Shenmu Guards are quite confident and think that no one will invade such a place, so they don't need too many patrols. But they should have somewhere to go. The remaining elves that have not been seen by Lin are also popular among the otakus.
Are you staying in your room and not going out?
Just as he was thinking this, he slowly stretched out the water mirror around the corner, then quickly retracted it. Someone thought that his psychological adjustment had passed the test, but at this time, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Carefully extend the water mirror again. The scene reflected in the mirror is a small square space, which is much larger than the walkway in the inner space of the World Tree.
The key point is that there is about a small team standing here, six or seven fully armed members of the Shenmu Guards. All the elves hold bows in their hands, and they are obviously the guards here. Moreover, everyone's position layout is flawless, and the elves can see each other within their sight range.
They complement each other and there seems to be no dead ends.
Even the treasure house we encountered before was not even guarded. What is the reason for so many people here?
The shape and size of the door looked the same as those he had seen before. There was nothing special about the appearance. This made Lin even more curious about what was behind the door. But, what should I do?
Come in to find out?
There are no windows or anything here. Except for other rooms, it is a fully enclosed passage with no ventilation pipes. Coupled with the good living habits of the elves, there is no debris stacked in the passage. It can be said that someone owns it.
All the conceivable methods of trying to gain ground from the east and attack the west will not work here, or else there is a huge risk of exposing oneself.
In the midst of distress, another message window popped up in the field of vision. This was from Kaya, reminding her that dinner was here and she had to prepare for the meal.
If before, Lin would have thought that if he missed it, he would just miss it, and it would be nothing if he went hungry. But now if he does not want to arouse any suspicion from the other party, the best way is to carry on as usual. So after confirming the distance and direction between the current position and the camp on the ground
, Lin flashed and left the space within the World Tree.
There was no one in the camp. Because it was located under the dense shade of the World Tree, it got darker earlier than in the outside world. Looking up when I came outside, in addition to some dim light that could be seen in the shade of the trees, the elves
The army camp has set up magic lamps for night lighting at certain points.
In order to limit the use of open flames, the cooking of dinner is concentrated in one area. And because kitchen waste and leftover food cannot be thrown away, everyone has to come here if they want to eat.
The members of the Shenmu Guards were standing not far away, supervising. On the surface, it seemed to be to supervise the open flames and prevent sparks from flying around. But now Lin secretly observed each other and realized that the eyes of the elves were not just staring at the flames. They were
He almost scanned the entire camp, as if he was secretly nodding his head to see who was coming and who was missing.
Are you overthinking it, or are these elves from the Divine Wood Guard really supervising the actions of all outsiders?
No matter how delicious the food is, it will become tasteless after eating it for several days, let alone dry food. Even a few hard-working humans and dwarves can hardly eat food that is just soaked in hot water until it is soft or rotten.
Adapt; not to mention the squeamish elves.
Although the elves did not openly protest, they heard a lot of private complaints. They even complained intentionally or unintentionally about why they had to go on this meaningless visit. Many elves wanted to go back.
The house is over.
After all, after coming here, I had nothing to do for a few days. I wanted to explain to others that it was because the materials were not in place, so I couldn't start work, and probably no one would listen. Fortunately, a shameless person has become accustomed to it.
The right ear is out.
The two thin-skinned girls thought that they were just following their teacher's instructions, so if they complained, someone should take responsibility. The two people who thought this way did not have any psychological burden and were entangled in the problem.
In the emotions shown by others because of their unhappiness, Fen has always been self-centered, and she doesn't care about other people's feelings.
After swallowing the bowl of soft and tasteless dinner, Lin returned to the temporary cave. Due to the limited number of magic lamps for lighting, and no people lighting bonfires here, there was nothing in the World Tree camp at night.
big event.
In the past few nights, the elves have gathered into a few groups and started running TRPG enthusiastically. There are several elves with rich experience, and they also have some storytelling skills, and they are already impressive as game hosts.
Not at all inferior to someone who was a flash in the pan. Except for the first night when Lin took the King to join the group, he tried to find a way to refuse at other times.
Originally, the Lich would join them and play the game together. But after playing a few times, she also quit. Just like adventure partners have to be carefully selected, the same goes for game partners. A group of people who can get together will definitely have one.
Some things in common. If they are in harmony, they will come, if they are not in harmony, they will go. This is true no matter what kind of life.
Playing with the only (?) dice made by someone, Fen followed Lin back to the camp. At the same time, the two girls and the elf sword dancer Leena Titov also came back.
.
The two girls were busy with the work assigned by their teacher. Although they did not finish it within the time limit, because it was a new topic, a sense of freshness pushed Kaya and Halumi to plunge into this task, which even on earth requires professionalism.
It takes a team a lot of time to complete a project.
As for the female elf, she should have been following their young king, secretly performing protection and vigilance work; but the photo that someone handed to her through Fen allowed Liena to explore the internal affairs of the Shenmu Guards.
The progress was quite strong, stemming from worried curiosity, so she followed. Anyway, it was not news that she and the lich were together these days and nights, and it should not attract the attention of others.
Liena didn't notice anyone else at all. When she entered the tent, she immediately asked: "What did you find?"
Lin didn't say anything more, and once again used the coffin to play back his memories. Halumi wanted to find out if there were any clips that could be used as a reference for lip reading analysis. Unfortunately, everyone in the Shenmu Guards will
The mask is worn tightly and the shape of the mouth cannot be seen, so naturally there is no need to think about lip reading.
During the playback, Lin saw that Liena was watching very seriously and couldn't help but ask: "Have you never been to these places?"
"Basically, except for members of the guard, others are not allowed to enter the World Tree. Of course I have never been up there, let alone know that there are other areas inside the World Tree."
"Not even your little king?"
"As far as I know, no. In fact, in the past, kings came to the World Tree on their annual hunting tour in VIII(8). They mainly came here to hold rituals to worship their ancestors. The process was very cumbersome, and other than that, there were no
How long will it take?" When she saw someone entering the weapons warehouse and treasure house, Liena's eyes drifted towards someone unnaturally.
Lin had a clear conscience about this. Although he picked up some things to look at, he didn't take anything away. Anyway, the things wouldn't break if you touched them. If you can't even touch them, look more closely. They just left them there.
If there is no one watching, why don't others be allowed to pass by for reference?
Because it is a replay memory, it can be played back in fast forward. Everyone will soon see the end of the room, where there is a guarded room. The scene ends abruptly after someone repeatedly confirms the strict protection of this place.
.
Fin first asked, "What's in this room?"
"I don't know, I couldn't go in. So I want to ask Liena, where could this be?"
The female elf who was named shook her head. Even the treasure house was unguarded. What was more important than that place? She had no clue.
"Could it be the location of your military communication magic array?" Lin asked anyway.
Liena said with certainty: "The protection of that magic circle is very strict, but it is not to this extent. Especially since the forum you created has become popular in the human world, I don't know about other elven kingdoms.
I dare say, but there are a lot less human spies who came to send Art Jaime to spy on the secret of the magic circle, and we have also reduced some of our already tight manpower."
"That's right." Lin lamented that another answer option was missing.
Fen asked at this time: "Then what are you going to do? Ignore this place? Or force your way in?"
"Forcibly breaking in is definitely not possible." Lin shook his head and said: "If there was no hostility originally, because we broke into an irrelevant but confidential location for them, we would become enemies even if we ignored it.
Are you willing?"
"Then what are your plans?"
Facing Fen's question, Lin thought for a while, then pulled out one of the many design concept drawings he had left before and displayed it in front of everyone. It was an improved form of the Arcane Eye. The most important thing is
Yes, there is an experimental magic design on it, with long-distance positioning, which can be captured by the flash technique.
When it reaches a fixed point, it will start to collect the surrounding image information. After waiting for recycling, it can extract and play the information of the target location. Lin named this design "Eye of Spy".
