Chapter 890 No Successor
Although Emily's words were just conjectures, they were terrifying to think about.
There must be something very mysterious hidden in the Elf Emperor's Tomb, otherwise it would not have attracted the attention of those people. However, people who can create such terrifying monsters still want to attack the Emperor's Tomb. The value of the things in the Emperor's Tomb must be Even more terrifying, maybe it is the kind of terrifying thing that can intimidate a party once it is obtained.
Thinking of this, I can't help but think of Achilles.
This guy also came out of the imperial mausoleum. His strength is so terrifying that it makes people tremble. A short spear shattered my Naotachi in minutes, and my full blow could only scratch his armor. Scratch marks that are hard to spot.
I think the word 'monster' is the best way to describe him.
Achilles was resurrected in the royal tomb of Carter Adams.
If the person who created the carrion monster captures the Elf Imperial Tomb, God knows what kind of monster will emerge from the Elf Imperial Tomb.
Is it the second Achilles? Or a monster more terrifying than Achilles?
One Achilles has already turned half of the Zephyr Continent into chaos. If another Achilles appears, I can't imagine it, and I don't dare to think about it.
My eyes twitched and I pondered for a long time before I came out with these words: "Anyway, you'd better send more people to protect the imperial mausoleum. The most important thing is."
"If the patrols at the boneyard can be bribed, the same goes for the guardians of the imperial tombs." Emily looked at the sky in ecstasy. For some reason, I could read sadness in her indifferent expression.
In the evening, after sending Emily home, I quietly sneaked into Elder Mai Sonoda's villa and found her in her home office.
I explained to her everything I discovered during the period from the time I sneaked into the burial ground to the time I left the burial ground, along with my conjectures.
Elder Mai Sonoda pondered for a moment and said, "You try to keep this matter a secret, and think of it as a reward for my help in drawing the map for you."
"Okay, I promise you."
The elder nodded and continued: "If you have any clues, please inform me as soon as possible."
"Then what?" I asked, "What are you going to do?"
"I will conduct a thorough investigation of the senior personnel and thoroughly find out who is involved in this matter."
"What will happen after you figure it out?" I continued to ask, "How are you going to deal with it?"
"Of course it's business," Elder Mai Sonoda said with a sharp look in his eyes.
Does business matter mean that people should be killed and punished?
By the way, although you are an elder, do you really have the ability to kill nobles casually?
"If, I mean if" I said: "If the Elf Queen is involved in this matter, what are you going to do?"
"This is not something you should worry about," Elder Mai Sonoda said, "I can only tell you that even Her Majesty the Queen will be unforgivable once she participates in such a dirty act."
"Unforgivable? Are you saying that you will appoint another queen at that time?"
"It's also a smart idea to shut up at the right time." The elder said calmly: "There are some things you shouldn't ask, so don't ask any more."
I spread my hands and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's change the topic. Now that you already know about the burial ground, what are your plans next?"
"I have no plans," Elder Mai Sonoda said, "continue to maintain the status quo."
"This is not like your style. You are not the kind of person who compromises easily."
"Haha" the elder laughed: "It seems that you are also very good at recognizing people. Yes, I will not compromise. Continuing to maintain the status quo around the burial ground is just to numb the nerves of those who steal corpses and make them relax. Be vigilant. Only when you relax your vigilance will the clues be revealed and you can catch them all."
"Hehe, your idea is really insidious." I chuckled, "Like an old fox."
"If I am an old fox, then you are a little fox."
Then, Elder Mai Sonoda and I laughed.
After leaving Elder Mai Sonoda's home, I went to Ren's villa again. Ren was still reading the newspaper, and several elves were still doing their own exercises.
"Yo~" I said hello to him.
"What's wrong with coming here so late?" Renn put down the newspaper and asked.
"It's okay, just taking a walk," I replied, sitting on the sofa opposite him.
He picked up the wine on the table, poured himself a glass, took a sip, and said, "Someone has guessed what happened to us."
"who?"
"The Acting Commander of the Rose Legion," I said, "But don't worry, she is not our enemy, just"
"Just what?"
"Ren, if one day I need your people to help me assassinate multiple nobles at the same time, can I do it?"
"It's impossible now," Ren said: "They haven't launched yet, and I can't go to several places to assassinate the target at the same time. However, if you can gather the people you want to assassinate together, I can It can be done.”
"The possibility of all the nobles you want to kill gathering together is too small. Just ignore it." I thought about it and asked, "When will your disciples be able to leave?"
"It will take some time," Ren said, "but it will be soon."
"Just six people are definitely not enough. We have to find a way to get more people."
"It's best not to be human," Ren said, "Elves and orcs are both fine."
"What happened to the human race?" I asked in confusion.
"The utilitarianism of the human race is too strong," Ren said: "Even I can't get rid of the drive of utilitarianism. Besides, the human race is also very poor in talent."
Although I knew that Ren was not talking about me, it still felt strange in my ears.
When I got home, I asked Lilea if there were any young elves in her organization.
Lilea shook her head and said, "No."
Then, she broke the news to me about a scandal within her organization: in fact, these children were abducted by people from her organization and were brainwashed before being trained.
I asked Lilea quietly: "Can't we abduct a few more children?"
"The elves have relatively strict management measures in this area now. Once they are caught, the consequences will be very tragic." Lilea said: "If they are human children, there are quite a few, especially now that Airui City is in chaos and there are more orphans than before. A lot."
"I don't want anyone from the human race," I said, "Are there any orcs?"
"Children of the orcs are not easy to abduct," Lillea said: "They usually follow the adults in collective actions, and the possibility of catching them is even more difficult than abducting elf children."
"Ah, so that's it." I was a little troubled. The lack of successors and the kidnapping of children went hand in hand.
Moreover, abducting children is sinful no matter how you look at it. Although it is to find successors, it still makes you feel uneasy.
"By the way, Lillea, aren't there always attacks from rogue adventurers around Dashai City recently?" I said, "Can you adopt the orc children who became orphans due to the attacks?"
