Chapter 245 Investigation

The pollution of the shadow world in the southern continent is likely caused by the elders of the high elves. If the Elf Temple is a holy place for the high elves, it is very likely that the intentions of the elven elders are recorded in it.

Su Lun can investigate the ancient information he wants while investigating the elven elders. He needs someone familiar with the Elf Temple to lead him. Sina is a very suitable candidate.

Sina thought for a while after hearing this, she said: "The Elf Temple does store a lot of various information, but not every elf can enter the temple. I have only been in it a few times."

She thought for a long time after she said that, except for going to the Elf Temple to investigate, they have no better way to solve the pollution here. They know too little information.

Su Lun is not in a hurry. The pollution here has nothing to do with him. He can spend a long time to slowly investigate the information he needs. Investigating the pollution here is just out of curiosity.

If Sina is unwilling to provide help, he can only rely on himself.

Su Lun said, "If you don't want to enter the Elf Temple, I don't have a good solution."

He was ready to leave. The strength of the elven elders was immeasurable. Continuing the investigation might lead to hostility with them. If he ignored the pollution here, he might encounter less danger.

Su Lun thought to himself, and just as he was leaving, Sina suddenly shouted, "Wait."

"We can enter the Elf Temple, but there are many guards in the Elf Temple. We must be careful if we go there." Sina was obviously determined.

She has always abided by the various rules of the high elves since she was born. She never did anything that the elders didn't allow her to do, but now she had to break the rules of the elves in order to solve the pollution.

But now she had violated the orders of the elders by entering the cave before. Now even if she enters the Elf Temple, she will only continue to violate the orders. Anyway, she will be punished. It is better to investigate everything that happened here before being punished.

High elves who violate the rules of the tribe are generally subject to severe punishment, and some will even be expelled from the tribe.

Su Lun nodded when he heard this. It would be much easier for him to get the information he wanted with Sina's help.

He asked, "How do you plan to get into the Elf Temple?"

He had already entered the Elf Temple once and had some understanding of the situation inside, but he couldn't tell Sina that he had sneaked in before, otherwise his cooperation with Sina might end.

Sina pondered for a while and said, "The Elf Temple is heavily guarded. We can only enter at night. As long as we don't meet those elders, we can investigate inside the Elf Temple."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Su Lun. Outsiders were not allowed to enter the Elf Temple, but Su Lun had saved him twice. As long as Su Lun didn't destroy the things in the Elf Temple, she could take Su Lun in.

But she suddenly thought that the things here didn't have much to do with Su Lun, and she was a little surprised why Su Lun wanted to help her.

She asked, "Why do you want to help me?"

Sina stared at Su Lun. She remembered that her attitude towards Su Lun was not very good. She had asked Su Lun if there was any way before, but she didn't think of this for a while. Su Lun's willingness to help her was a little unexpected.

Su Lun was stunned. He thought his thoughts were exposed, but from Sina's appearance, the other party didn't know his real purpose.

He thought about it and said, "I need a biological data about the ancient times. Only the races that survived in the ancient times have records of this kind of thing, so I want to go into the Elf Temple to take a look."

He didn't want to lie, but if he entered the Elf Temple in the future, his purpose would be exposed sooner or later, so it's better to say it directly now.

Xina was slightly relieved when she heard this. As long as Su Lun's goal was harmless to the elves, she was worried that Su Lun would plot the things in the Elf Temple. If that was the case, she would never let Su Lun enter the Elf Temple.

She nodded and said, "This kind of information is not an important thing. There should be something in the Elf Temple."

After she finished speaking, she paused and continued, "But we have to wait until night to have a chance to go in. The guards of the Elf Temple are very strict."

Su Lun nodded and waited patiently. He felt that Sina was a little too worried about the Elf Temple. The guards of the Elf Temple were not as many as he imagined, and those elves were not patrolling hard. It was still very simple to get in.

...

After a long time, it was late at night, and Su Lun and Sina met outside the Elf Territory.

During the day, Sina carefully investigated the Elf Temple and the pollution around it. She began to doubt that the elders would hide the tribe, because all this meant that the Elf elders had concealed the situation.

When she saw Su Lun, she said, "Follow me, I found a way to enter the Elf Temple safely."

After that, she took Su Lun to the interior of the Elf's territory.

Sina was much more familiar with the territory than Su Lun. Su Lun had to find a way to avoid the tree people in the forest to enter the territory safely, and the road Sina chose had no guards patrolling and no tree people blocking the road.

Soon they came to the center of the territory, where the elves lived, and the towering building in front of them was the Elf Temple.

They hid in one of the trees in the forest. Because it was very dark at night, as long as they didn't make too much noise, they would be difficult to be discovered.

Su Lun glanced around. The guards around were similar to the last time he came, and they were not yet fully alert.

He also saw that many elves were listless. Although they were patrolling, the environment here had made them let down their guard.

Xina also saw the situation here, and she sighed in a low voice: "How dare they be lazy!"

She was very angry. Every elf in the elf group had assigned work. According to the rules of the high elf, if you don't do your job well, you will be punished.

Su Lun had already seen it once, so he wasn't too surprised. He asked in a low voice: "Now is not the time to ask questions, how do you plan to enter the Elf Temple?"

He just took a look around. The route they chose this time was different from his last time, but they could also enter the Elf Temple by jumping out of the window.

But since Xina is leading the way this time, Xina should have a better way to enter.

Xina sighed and said: "Originally, I thought that there would be a lot of guards here at night, but I didn't expect that there were much fewer guards here than expected."

She looked at Su Lun and then said: "Wait a minute, I will go in directly through the gate. There are many back doors in the Elf Temple. I will open one of the back doors to meet you. You just need to pay attention to the temple."

Su Lun nodded when he heard this, and Xina jumped off the tree without anyone observing her. She walked directly towards the door of the temple.

Xina's identity does not allow her to enter the elf temple casually, but she is a member of the high elves. If something happens, she can enter, but she may be questioned if she is discovered by the elders.

She walked to the door of the Elf Temple and exchanged a few words with the guard, who quickly opened the door and let her in.

Suellen stayed in the tree and observed the surrounding situation.

Because Xina was leading the way this time, they were much ahead of schedule. It was only dark but not yet late at night, and they had plenty of time.

Soon after, Suellen saw a small door opened in a corner of the temple, and he saw Xina's little hand waving.

The Elf Temple is made of an unknown special wood, so even if there is a secret door somewhere, it is difficult to find it.

Suellen made sure that no elf guard noticed him and walked towards Xina. He avoided the sight of all the elves and quickly entered the temple through the secret door.

He glanced around. The temple was very large and had many floors. The place he was in this time was unlike any place he had been to before.

Xina closed the secret door and whispered: "I just checked, and there is not a single elf in the entire temple. Just don't let the guards outside discover it when you investigate."

After speaking, she walked around the temple casually. She was a little cautious at first, but soon relaxed a lot. She was actually a little excited, because she rarely came here.

Xina introduced as she walked: "This is the entrance to the temple. The entire temple is very big. Even I haven't been to all of them, but I still know the general direction inside the temple."

She glanced around and said, "The upper floor of the temple is where information is stored. There are all kinds of information from ancient times to the present. There may be something you need there."

"The underground is a place used to store various precious items. It is said that there are a large number of treasures that can make elves stronger, but I don't know what they are."

"The middle level, where we are standing now, is where the elders issue orders. Occasionally, when big events happen, the elders will summon the masters to gather here."

She quickly introduced this place, and she was a little proud when she introduced it, because the things here made her very proud. The various materials and items here may only be comparable to the dragon collection outside.

Xina finished speaking and continued: "The things here are very precious. Don't touch the things here casually."

She reminded that although she was not worried about Su Lun taking away the things here, she was worried that the elders would discover the things here if they were moved.

Su Lun said a little speechlessly: "I'm not interested in what you have here."

He waved his hand. No matter how precious the things here were, they were just that. He had no need for such precious things.

For him, all he needs now is a strong bloodline and various information about the world. ,

Because he wants to improve his strength as soon as possible, he has slacked off his research on this world, so he has a little understanding of this world. It would be best if he could get detailed world information.

Of course, if very powerful creatures were imprisoned here, he wouldn't mind extracting blood from these creatures, but obviously not here. High elves will not capture monsters and imprison them. They will only tame creatures that are beneficial to them, such as giant eagles.

Xina snorted coldly and stopped talking. She took Su Lun upstairs.

The floors of this temple are very high. In addition to the upper floors, there is also a basement below.

Su Lun passed by a group of statues while going up. These were the places where the elf elders had spoken.

He stopped in front of one of the statues. This statue was tall and mighty. It was a leader of the high elves.

Xina saw Suellen stop in front of the statue. She immediately walked over and introduced: "This is Ossus, one of the great leaders of our high elves. How about it? Is it much more powerful than your human leaders?"

She laughed on the sidelines, because humans often fight wars and kings often change, so even statues with leaders will be quickly destroyed and replaced with new king statues.

Over time, human kings no longer like to build statues, and only those very powerful countries may build statues of kings.

Suellen didn't expect Xina to have some understanding of human beings, but what he wanted to say was not statues.

He said: "This statue looks a bit strange. How come it looks like a living person?"

The statue was carved lifelike, but what Suellen cared about was not the exquisite craftsmanship of the statue, but the fact that he saw the Elf elders conversing with the statue.

As he spoke, he looked at a stone slab under the statue. There were several lines of text carved in Elvish language on the stone slab.

He had carefully studied the ancient Elvish language before, so he had some understanding of the Elvish writing. It only recorded some heroic deeds about the Elf statue during his lifetime, and there was nothing special about it.

Xina was stunned when she heard this. She glanced at the elf statues and said, "These statues are made by melting big rocks with blood power instead of carving them. However, it is said that when the statues are melted, part of the souls of the ancestors will also enter. I don’t know if it’s true among the statues.”

After speaking, she said directly to the statue: "Great Ancestor, I came to the temple to investigate the pollution of the shadow world around me. If there is your true spirit here, please give us instructions."

Xina prayed according to the etiquette of the elves. She just thought of it accidentally, so she prayed by the way.

But at this moment, the elven writing on the stone slab under the statue actually started to move.

Su Lun frowned slightly. He glanced at the statue. The statue was still the same as before, but its expression became more vivid. At this time, the words on the stone slab also stabilized.

"There is a traitor in the tribe, and the glowing books on the sixth floor will give you instructions." Xina read out the words on the slate one by one.

She was very surprised, she didn't expect the rumors to be true.

She immediately said: "Thank you, ancestors, for your guidance."

The words on the slate immediately changed back, as if nothing had happened.

"I didn't expect there was a traitor in the tribe." Xina was a little surprised. She completely believed what the statue said, so she quickly led Su Lun to the upper level.

Su Lun also did not expect that this statue actually had independent consciousness, but this independent consciousness should not be very strong, otherwise it could directly tell Xina who the traitor of the high elf is.
