Chapter 884 Infiltration
Putting aside the difference in strength between my guild and Emily's team, I asked Lillea: "If you were going to the Boneyard, how would you choose to infiltrate?"
Lilea thought for a moment and said, "I will find someone to forge a letter from the Queen and find a suitable time to sneak in."
"Well, this is indeed a good idea." I nodded.
"Isn't that right?" Yula said: "Lileia, have you stayed in Airei City for too long and forgotten the caution of the elves? How could a race that is so cautious in everything they do do not obey the Queen's instructions? Investigating!"
"Of course I will do an investigation," Lillea said: "That's why I said that I would sneak in at the right time, for example, on the day when Her Majesty the Queen is traveling."
Listening to Lilea's words, I couldn't help but ask her: "When does the Queen usually choose to travel?"
"Her Majesty the Queen's travel dates are very fixed," she said. "Every year, she will go there in person for sacrifices, ancestor worship and other activities."
"That's it. When will the next event be held?"
"Let me think about it." Lilea thought for a while and said, "Next month."
"It's too late," I said, "In this month, many animal carcasses will be added to the bone burial ground, which will destroy all the previous traces."
"Traces?" the girls looked at me.
"Well, this is just a hypothesis. Anyway, the sooner you can explore the bone burial ground, the better."
Then, the girls came up with a lot of suggestions, but none of them were feasible. Seeing that it was getting late, I asked them to go to bed. This kind of thing cannot be rushed.
In the next three days, I kept listening to the girls' hard-thought-out suggestions, but there were many risks involved, so I passed them one by one.
In fact, I don't have much hope for their suggestions, because I have already decided what to do.
If you want to sneak into the bone burial ground, the first thing that cannot be missed is the location and personnel arrangement there. These two points will be solved by Ren and Elder Mai Sonoda respectively.
Ren had already told me all the information he knew about the burial ground. On the night of the third day, Elder Mai Sonoda also explained to me the distribution map and staffing of the burial ground, and discussed it with Lei. En said something similar, but on the basis of Ren's, she added some hidden whistle positions for me.
Elder Mai Sonoda told me: "Patrol members usually change guard every 20 minutes, while hidden sentries change guard once an hour. These hidden sentries are much stronger than the patrol personnel on the surface. Unless there are experts with extremely strong hidden strength, otherwise Even if you bypass the patrol officers, you will still be discovered by the hidden sentry.”
I thought for a while and asked, "Have the secret sentries and patrol officers changed guard at the same time?"
"Yes," Elder Mai Sonoda said, "but this possibility rarely occurs. It's better not to take this kind of luck."
"I was just asking."
"Lie, you must think so." Elder Mai Sonoda ruthlessly exposed my lie on the spot, and said seriously: "If you hold on to even a little bit of luck, you will not be able to complete this matter. Our clan has no respect for the burial ground." The importance attached to it has reached an extreme level, and any carelessness is unacceptable.”
"Why do you pay so much attention to the burial ground?" I wondered: "It's just a place where a bunch of dead bodies are piled up."
Elder Mai Sonoda explained: "Our clan regards death as another beginning of life, and abandoned corpses are regarded as bodies that should be respected. Therefore, the burial ground where countless bodies are piled up will naturally become our clan's Holy place.”
"Listening to what you said, I feel like you don't have as much respect for the Boneyard as other elves."
"I think the same as you. The burial ground is just a place to pile up corpses." She sighed and continued: "But as an elder, I have to be a role model for the people. I can't change it because of my beliefs. Other people’s beliefs.”
"You are really a hard-working and dedicated elder!" I said sincerely.
"I am not a good elder," Elder Mai Sonoda said, "If I were really a good elder, I would definitely arrest you on the spot and detain you until you give up the idea of exploring our clan's holy land."
Then, she sighed deeply: "But I didn't do that. Not only did I tell you the coordinates and staffing of the burial ground in private, and even the location of the secret sentry, I even helped you apply for a handwriting from Her Majesty the Queen. Oh, I have done so many sinful things!"
"Whether it is sinful or not depends on your own will and heart, Elder Mai Sonoda" I said: "What if because of your seemingly betrayal of the race, you have protected the future of the race and allowed the elf children to live in safety? Living in an environment that allows elven parents to work hard and struggle for life without any worries, allows old elves to hold their grandchildren and granddaughters in their old age. Perhaps these are precisely because of the so-called 'betrayal' And realized.”
"If it's just my own betrayal, I can get this. Even if I have to bear the charges of the elves, I think it's worth it." Her eyes were in trance, and her eyes showed the determination of a determined old man for self-sacrifice.
After a while, she raised her head and asked me: "An Xiaoyi, let me ask you one last time, are you sure that what you are doing is for the future of the elves?"
"No." I shook my head. Seeing her pupils shrink suddenly and her face change slightly, I continued: "I do it for myself, so that I can have a peaceful old age in the future, and be able to hold my grandson surrounded by my wives. Playing with my grandchildren is my ultimate goal. As for saving the elves, I am just passing by."
"I understand," Elder Mai Sonoda said seriously: "If your action fails, just tell the guards to find me, and I will find a way to help you."
"Don't worry, you won't fail." I smiled slightly: "Don't forget, I am An Xiaoyi, the only person in the entire Moonlight City who can betray the Queen."
That night, instead of going home directly, I stuffed a note under the door, telling them my itinerary and promising to come back as soon as possible.
After that, I went to Ren's place, called Ren, and we went deep into the Elf Forest together.
According to Elder Mai Sonoda's drawing, we quickly arrived near the burial ground. Sure enough, at certain locations, I found hidden whistles lurking in them. The lurking ability of these hidden whistles is really strong. Without this Drawing, I will definitely be discovered.
"Have you discovered these people before?" I lowered my voice and asked Renn quietly.
Ren said: "Only a few of them were found, but I am sure that they did not find me."
