Chapter 485 Putty

"Have you never used a torch?" I asked again, unwilling to give up.

The elves continued to shake their heads.

"Okay." I was discouraged: "It's really hard for you."

Then, I told them how to extinguish the torch, and told them emphatically: "After extinguishing the torch, be sure to knock off the putty burned by the flame. This has two purposes. First, it can prevent the flame from burning; Second, it can be easily re-oiled and ignited, so as long as we find traces of putty, we can determine which route they chose."

"Is it possible that the putty was deliberately spilled at other entrances in order to confuse people who came later?" the masked female elf asked.

"There's no need to worry about this," I said. "General explorers leave traces to make it easier for them to find a way out. Of course, the situation you mentioned is not impossible, but the chance is too small. The only possibility is The designer of the tomb personally came to rob his own tomb, and there is no other thought."

"The mausoleum has been around for more than a thousand years, and the maker should have turned into dust long ago." The masked female elf said, "It seems that I have been worrying too much."

While I started to examine the cave carefully from the entrance, I said: "That's not necessarily true. There are so many weird things in Zefeng Continent. I dare not say whether the designer of the mausoleum will die in a thousand years, unless his tombstone and body are found."

"Ah, I found it!" I said excitedly.

Over there, Barbara exclaimed: "What did you find? The body of the designer?"

I couldn't laugh or cry: "I mean, I found traces of putty, where did you think it went?"

Barbara raised her little eyebrows and said arrogantly: "It's all your fault for misleading me!"

"Okay, okay, my fault." I raised my hands to express surrender.

Pointing the traces of putty to the masked female elf, I chuckled and said, "It seems that I chose the right path."

"I don't understand. How can you be so sure that they will light the torch and extinguish it?" The masked female elf asked doubtfully: "Did they know before that the dolls here can sense light and cannot burn?" Possibility of starting a torch?”

"I have thought about it before," I said, "but after I saw something, I concluded that this conjecture was untenable."

"what?"

I took out several parts from my backpack, compared them with each other, and handed out one of them: "This is it."

The masked female elf fiddled with the parts and said, "Is there anything different about this part?"

"Of course there is." I pointed to the cross section and said, "Look carefully at the cross section."

"Section?" She looked at it doubtfully, and suddenly, a light flashed in her eyes: "I see, the section is uneven, it doesn't look like it was cut off at once!"

I nodded and said: "Yes, my weapons are stronger and sharper than high-grade fine steel. It only takes one strike to cut them off. The swords used by your people are at least of the middle-grade fine steel grade. It stands to reason that it would also be enough to cut them off." It only takes one moment, so where does this cross-section that is not broken at once come from?"

Smiling slightly, I said: "Presumably, it must be the work of the previous group of adventurers. The situation at that time may be like this. After entering the entrance, due to the dim light, they lit torches. Fortunately, the light was not bright, and only alarmed After several battles, someone in the team discovered the clue and hurriedly extinguished the torch. After that, the puppet that was motionless due to lack of light was moved back to its original position, but they ignored the person. There are some severed parts on the body, and the broken sections of these parts have become important clues.”

"So, this road is feasible?" The masked female elf's eyes were filled with joy.

"Yes," I said, "Besides, I think there won't be any emergencies on this road. Even if there are, the group of people in front may have helped us get through it, so I think it's better to smear it and leave." There won’t be any problem.”

After that, I walked towards the three women and asked in a low voice: "Is it okay to discredit and leave?"

Cagalli sighed: "You have analyzed it very well. I have no objection. I am your fiancée. It is up to you whether you can marry me~"

These words are filled with all kinds of potential blame!

A huge drop of sweat fell directly on my forehead.

Barbara raised her little face arrogantly: "You have analyzed it very well. I have no objection. I am your fiancée. It is up to you whether you can marry me~"

Several giant sweat droplets were arranged in irregular patterns all over my face.

Phoenix had a cute look on his face and said with a sweet voice: "You have analyzed it very well. I have no objection. I am your fiancée. It is up to you whether you can marry me~"

The waterfall sweat produced countless black lines at the same time.

"Ahem" I quickly saved the situation: "Don't be angry, I will definitely protect your safety and buy you the clothes you want when I go back, okay? Oh, yes, there are also delicious food, you can buy whatever you want! Uh. Okay, I’ll treat you, I’ll pay for it, no problem. Uh, private money? I definitely didn’t hide any private money! I swear, look at my sincere expression!”

With a grin on his face and a stiff smile on his face, he met the three women's staring eyes. After a stalemate for more than a minute, the three women let me go.

Cagalli said calmly: "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

Barbara said fiercely: "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"

Phoenix looked cute and said, "I'll settle the score with you when I get back."

I:

Continuing on the road, the masked female elf passed side by side with me, and the three women followed closely behind me.

Taking advantage of the darkness, the masked female elf came over and whispered: "It's funny how you were bullied by your fiancée."

I laughed dryly and said feebly: "Don't you elves have any examples of strict hepatic control?"

"No," the masked female elf said with a smile, "Our elves have always emphasized equality between men and women. Hey, don't you believe it?"

I spat: "I don't believe it."

"You can try marrying me~"

"No need," I said hoarsely, "Three fiancées have already managed me to be obedient. If you are one more, I don't need any free space."

"Humph~" Her starry eyes suddenly flashed: "That's possible, don't forget what I said before."

"What words?"

She said word by word: "Yuan~Yuan~"

Cough cough cough!

I let out a violent cough.

The three women expressed concern in unison: "Xiaoyi, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." I beat my chest repeatedly, took a few deep breaths, and said, "I didn't pay attention just now, and I choked on my saliva."

"Saliva?" the three women said in unison.

then--

"Xiao Yi, have you thought about delicious food? Is your mouth watering suddenly?"

This is Phoenix's milky voice.

"Xiaoyi, have you thought about the shiny jewelry? Are you suddenly drooling?"

This is Barbara's voice.

"Xiaoyi, have you thought of beautiful women? Are you suddenly drooling?"

Cagalli's voice was filled with resentment.

"How could it be, hahaha" I scratched my head and said, "Just now I accidentally thought of my beautiful, lovely and sexy fiancées, so I accidentally choked on my saliva."

"Well, very good" the three women said in unison, satisfied.

At the same time, the three strong hands clinging to my waist were retracted silently.
