Chapter 478 Someone Has Been Here
Cagalli and the masked female elf kept looking at each other, the atmosphere was stagnant and depressing.
Cagalli wants to find out the true identity of the masked female elf, but the masked female elf does not want to reveal her identity to us.
Thus, this silent battle unfolded.
I stood leisurely aside, my eyes scanning the face of every elf.
It has to be said that although the elves and humans are very handsome, looking at them for a long time will still make people feel visual fatigue.
The reason is very simple. They all have similar looks. The only difference may be the shape of their eyes.
While I was waiting for the result of the contest between Cagalli and the masked female elf, I leisurely distinguished the subtle differences in the appearance of male and female elves.
After a stalemate for a while, Barbara got tired of looking at her and burrowed her head back into my arms.
Fenghuang seemed to be tired of rubbing against her. She raised her little face and said with a sweet voice: "Xiao Yi, this is so boring. Let's go back."
I smiled and pinched the tip of her nose: "Wait a moment."
After that, he cleared his throat and said: "Everyone, please calm down. If you have something to say, speak it out. The right way is to take a step back and the world will be brighter, right~"
Cagalli said calmly: "This matter cannot be compromised. As long as she does not reveal her true face, I will not allow you to go to the mausoleum with her."
Seeing this, I helplessly spread my hands towards the masked female elf.
After a while, finally, the masked female elf sighed and walked slowly towards us.
She stood in front of Cagalli, leaned forward, and whispered in Cagalli's ear.
After just a few words, I saw Cagalli's eyes widen, then she frowned slightly, then nodded, and followed the masked female elf walking farther away.
Just as I was about to follow her, Cagalli turned back and said to me, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Seeing her calm look, I nodded and let her go.
A few minutes later, Cagalli came back. Not far behind her, the masked female elf's starry eyes narrowed slightly. This time, she was smiling. Obviously, she was in a good mood.
When we got closer, I held Cagalli's shoulders and looked her up and down.
"What's wrong?" Cagalli asked.
"Let me check, don't do anything."
Cagalli said: "You are worrying too much. No way. Besides, I am always in your sight. How can she do anything about it?"
"Just in case," I said, "don't move your arms, and loosen your fists."
After checking it several times and finally making sure it was correct, I felt relieved and asked Cagalli: "How is it?"
Cagalli said: "No problem."
"Then can I go?" I asked again.
"You seem to be looking forward to it?" Cagalli suddenly narrowed her eyes and said with a faint smile.
Oops, this is a jealous expression!
I hurriedly explained: "You are overthinking, I am just fulfilling my promise."
"By the way," I suddenly changed the subject: "Now that you have learned the truth, don't accompany me. It's not a fun place there, it's very dangerous."
Cagalli didn't speak, but still looked at me with a half-smile.
At the same time, Phoenix and Barbara also raised their heads and stared at me without blinking.
"Hey" I covered my face and said, "Okay, okay, let's go together, but you must abide by our agreement."
"Um!"
The three girls responded in unison and clung to me again.
I turned my head and smiled awkwardly at the masked female elf.
She looked at me with a smile on her face, as if she was admiring the scenery.
After twisting and turning for almost an hour, not far away, the remains of a dilapidated building appeared in front of me.
The masked female elf pointed at the wreckage and said, "The entrance is right there."
Entering the center of the ruins of the building, a huge mausoleum door stands in it. On top of the door, there is a stone tablet: the hero Carter Adams is buried here.
Below this line of words is a dense pile of small words, introducing Carter Adams's great achievements.
I watched and read carefully line by line. After reading for a long time, I finally lost my patience and exclaimed: "Does this hero named Carter Adams spend the rest of his time besides eating, sleeping, shitting and peeing?" Are they all used to punish evil and promote good?"
Cagalli was also watching. When she saw what I said, she turned around and asked, "Why do you say that?"
I pointed at the horizontal monument and said: "Look at this epitaph. It looks like an old lady's foot-binding cloth. There are not ten thousand but eight thousand major events recorded on it, and all of them are earth-shattering events. Look again. Judging from the time he was born and died, he was still under fifty years old. He was able to accomplish so many great things in such a short period of time. Do you think what I said is wrong?"
After hearing what I said, Phoenix and Barbara burst out laughing. Cagalli also curled up her lips, but she was still looking carefully at the records above.
Then, I sighed and said pitifully: "Now I even doubt whether this kid's child is my own, let alone some bastard created by Old Song next door."
Cagalli said 'hmm', her cheeks were slightly red, and she said, "Don't talk nonsense in front of other people's tombs."
I spread my hands and glanced innocently at Phoenix and Barbara, who were hanging on my arms. The two women were intoxicated with the feeling of hanging on my arms and didn't pay attention to my words at all.
Cagalli continued: "Actually, the above is not all false, but there are some exaggerated descriptions and rhetoric, giving future generations the illusion that 'he is great'."
"But this is too much and too irrelevant, isn't it?" I muttered: "It's like you just drank a cup of ordinary boiled water, but you insisted on explaining the source of the water and the structure of the water in an exaggerated way. It keeps exaggerating and makes me feel sick just thinking about it.”
Cagalli chuckled: "This is the favorite game of those in power."
I curled my lips. I always felt that Cagalli was so knowledgeable. She seemed to know everything about all aspects of knowledge. She even understood some unfamiliar things that few people knew about.
By the way, are her parents both old scholars?
It seemed that the pedantic father-in-law and mother-in-law were not easy to deal with, and I started to have a slight headache.
At this time, the scattered elven adventurers gathered together and began to report something to the masked female elf.
After a while, she walked towards me slowly, with concern in her eyes: "My men have just explored the surroundings and found traces of adventurers passing by just a few hours before we arrived here."
"You mean someone has been here?" I raised my eyebrows and said, "And it was only a few hours earlier than us?"
"I'm afraid that's the case." She sighed and said, "Besides, it seems that there are many people coming and supplies are sufficient."
"Say, how do you know this information?" I asked with interest.
Her eyes narrowed into two crescent moons again: "Because of our racial talent."
