Chapter 876 How to Get the Oracle

After hearing my words, Emily did not respond directly. She nodded first, then shook her head, and finally said lightly: "I don't know."

That's right, after all, Emily is a qualified adventurer rather than a qualified biologist, so it's normal for her not to understand the emergence of this strange species.

After sparring for a long time, we returned home. While sitting on the sofa to rest, I asked Emily: "Can you take me around the imperial mausoleum?"

Emily neither agreed nor refused, just looked at me lightly: "Why?"

"I want to see the approximate location of those monsters."

"What are you looking at?" she asked confused.

"This is what I think. Since they can rush out of the Elf Forest collectively and attack the imperial tomb, is it possible that they have their lair nearby?"

"No," Emily said, "I have searched within a two-kilometer radius centered on the imperial mausoleum and found no clues."

"Are you sure you have searched them all?" I approached her and said seriously: "Not even a single **?"

"Are you questioning my ability?"

"No, I just think that some things cannot be identified with conventional thinking, but need to be viewed from another perspective."

Emily stared at me for a moment, then said lightly: "I don't understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I can explain it to you."

As I said that, I straightened my body that was lying on the back of the sofa, moved my arms and legs, and started to explain to Emily in a spirited state.

"I guess when you search for the lairs of those monsters, you use the same methods you use to search for ordinary creatures, right?"

"Yes."

"But have you ever thought about the possibility that this species made of carrion and covered with eyes is not a living creature? Well, I mean, it is not a product of nature, but a creation of humans. s things."

Emily pondered for a while and said seriously: "I haven't thought about it."

"I guess that's the case" I brewed my emotions and continued: "Since they are made by humans, they must not have their inherent nest in the Elf Forest. In other words, they are most likely to be temporarily created. Come out specifically to attack the imperial mausoleum."

"I still don't understand," Emily said lightly.

Ah. The elves’ stubborn minds are really annoying.

"Actually, you can also understand it this way." I decided to put it in a simple way: "What is the most fundamental source of this thing made from carrion?"

Emily thought for a while: "Meat."

"Yes, it's meat." I continued to guide her: "Then tell me, where is the most meat in the Elf Forest?"

Seeing her confused look, I added: "I mean the meat of the dead animal."

"You mean the boneyard?"

"That's right there," I said seriously, "Have you ever explored there?"

"No." Emily shook her head and said, "The burial ground is a very sacred place for us. Without the Queen's handwriting, we would not go there."

"Well, I know your customs and respect your customs, but now something unexpected happens, I hope"

"Without Her Majesty the Queen's handwriting, I cannot take you to the burial ground. This is the decree of our ancestors."

"Edicts are also made by people. Extraordinary times must be treated in extraordinary ways, right?"

Emily thought about it seriously: "I still can't do this."

WTF, the elves are so stupid!

He shrugged helplessly. It seemed that the possibility of passing through Emily was slim. He would have to find the Elf Queen or someone who could get the Queen to issue a decree of approval.

The first thing I thought of was Elder Mai Sonoda.

That night, I once again sneaked into the villa of Elder Mai Sonoda. This time, the elder was reading a newspaper in the room.

"Good evening, Elder Mai Sonoda."

I opened the door and said hello from a distance.

"Why are you here again, An Xiaoyi?" Elder Sonoda Wu said a little displeased.

I can understand her displeasure, any visitor who comes without greeting is not welcomed by the owner.

"I'm here to ask you for some help, hehe."

"You have already guessed that this is the case when you come to my house." Elder Mai Sonoda said while reading the newspaper: "Tell me what you have to do with me."

"Can you help me get a copy of the Queen's letter?" I said straight to the point.

"A letter about what?"

"The oracle granting access to the burial ground."

Elder Mai Sonoda was startled, then she slowly put down the newspaper, looked at me and said, "You should know the significance of the bone burial ground to our elves, right?"

"I know, that is a sacred symbol and a forbidden area that cannot be violated at will."

"Since you already know, please come 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 a disaster strikes in the future, don't blame me for not warning you in the first place~"

After that, I turned around and walked out, counting in my mind: one, two

Before I could count 'three', Elder Mai Sonoda's voice came from behind me: "Stay, what did you mean by what you just said?"

Elder Mai 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 Mai Sonoda threw the newspaper on the table and said coldly: "Since you can say that there will be a disaster in Moonlight City in the future, I would like to hear your opinion, but you must be careful and don't tell me that you are just talking. That’s all, but there is no exact basis or source, otherwise, I will imprison you for threatening the safety of Moonlight City.”

"To be honest, I really don't have any basis or source, and the threat to Moonlight City is just my conjecture. If you really think that I am spreading rumors, of course you can imprison me. This is your right."

Elder Mai Sonoda stared at me for nearly half a minute before saying, "Tell me your guess."

"You know Emily's mission yesterday, right?"

"I know."

"It is said that she faced a group of monsters made of rotten flesh with eyes all over their bodies. Do you know this?"

Elder Mai Sonoda thought for a while: "Yes, I know."

"That's good," I said, "Sir Elder, do you think this kind of monster could be native to the Elf Forest?"

"Impossible," she said firmly: "Although the species growing in the Elf Forest are strange, they are all full of vitality, and none of them have such a strong aura of death."

"That's it," I said, "I have the same idea as you. How could a place with outstanding people produce such terrible species? In other words, they are not born naturally and should be created by humans."

"Are you suspecting that someone among our elves is conducting such dirty experiments?"

Elder Mai Sonoda's voice suddenly became higher, and she was very excited.
