6-Playing Infernal Affairs (1/2)

This season is full of wind and snow. Roderick said it would snow for at least three days, so he asked Si Qingyan to go back and rest early.

The elves’ settlement is very large, mainly because there are too few elves. Once they are scattered, it looks very empty. It snowed all night. When I woke up the next day, the sky and the earth were all silvery white. Even the orcs with strong cold resistance did not go out.

"Your Majesty, let's cook hot pot today. We have hot pot base here."

Filmers is of ice attribute, and this environment is a natural advantage for her.

Roderick not only made hot pot, but also McDonald's, milk tea, playing cards and other modern items.

There is also a constant temperature array in the place where the elves live, but it is not turned on. Everyone is trying to adapt to such a temperature. Fortunately, the elves themselves are close to elementalization and have a high tolerance for temperature.

Anyway, there are elves who are idle and start to deal with the snow outside.

Knowing that Si Qingyan was going to have hot pot with Philmes, some elves volunteered to build pavilions, trees of life, and holy towers with snow in the open space outside, like a small Silver Moon Forest.

After the snow pavilion is solidified with a magic circle, it will become harder and harder as the temperature drops. You can sit inside and eat hot pot, enjoy the snow, and feel the transcendent mood. Winter Fortress is full of ice and snow all year round. If nothing unexpected happens, everything in front of you will exist for a long time.

A ball of hot elemental flame floats in the air with a copper pot. In the copper pot, the aroma of tomato soup spreads far and wide.

Elves generally like to eat vegetarian food. Their taste buds are too sensitive. When meat falls into their mouths, a little fishy smell will be infinitely magnified. Fortunately, you can eat a lot of delicious food even if you only eat vegetarian food, such as snow mushrooms and ice bamboo shoots that are only available in Winter Fortress. They can be eaten after blanching for two times. The taste is extremely delicious. Yams, fungus, potatoes and various meatballs are mixed and cooked to produce a fragrant aroma.

As long as there are seeds, the elves can give birth to plants. Even though the whole city is almost sealed by ice and snow, the food here is still rich. Facing the rolling red pot bottom, looking at the vast snow scene, and drinking a few sips of wine, it is a special taste.

Philmos filled Si Qingyan's glass with an expectant expression.

Sweet fruit wine is similar to beverages, with a higher juice content, so you can drink it in big gulps. Si Qingyan picked up the wine glass and smelled the strong aroma of wine before she drank it.

Philmos' eyes became more and more expectant.

Si Qingyan pretended to be nonchalant, with heroic movements, and only drank a small sip. His throat suddenly felt like it was on fire, so spicy that he couldn't speak.

Philmos looked disappointed. I thought Lansa would pick up the wine glass and drink it all, but I didn't expect him to be so cautious.

"This is a strong liquor unique to Winter City, and you can't drink it anywhere else."

Philmos directly picked up a jar, and looked at Si Qingyan with a provocative look.

Si Qingyan was of course unmoved and continued to eat.

When Philmes finished drinking, all that was left for her was the empty pot bottom.

The cold wind was biting, and Si Qingyan's back was free and easy.

Philmes drank until his whole body was hot, his mind was confused, and he sat there for a long time. Why did he suddenly feel mentally retarded?

Si Qingyan received a secret message from Roderick, and a surprise attack was tonight, and Zihuang agreed.

The snow had not stopped yet.

Si Qingyan's mission was to lead a part of the elves to attack the demon clan's stronghold.

The main force would arrive later, and the elves were the vanguard.

The reason for this arrangement was that Roderick felt that there were demon clan spies inside Winter City. Not those captured succubus slaves, but high-level demons.

There may be high-level demons disguised as high-level members of the Hope Alliance, otherwise the demons would not be able to know the movements here. The Elf Queen was buried in the space channel because she was betrayed by a spy. There is no conclusion yet on how many spies there are and where they are hiding, but Roderick gave Si Qingyan a list of suspects.

"Everyone, assemble, follow me."

"Why assemble?" Philmes was drunk, his eyes sparkling.

"Let's go dig snow mushrooms. The snow mushrooms in the hot pot are so fresh today." Si Qingyan explained seriously.

"But...but this is too..." Philmes was confused. Dig snow mushrooms, why do we need to assemble the whole army?

"Snow mushrooms are so delicious, is there anyone who doesn't like them?" Si Qingyan's face was cold, his eyes were sharp, and he swept fiercely at the other elves.

"Snow mushrooms are really delicious, we all love to eat snow mushrooms." The elves remembered that they had mercilessly laughed at the Elf King who was surrounded by a group of wolves, and they rushed to agree.

Isn't it just digging snow mushrooms on a snowy day? It's not digging manure, what's wrong with that.

"..." Philmes subconsciously followed Si Qingyan and went to dig snow mushrooms together.

"Hide them all, do you want others to know?" Si Qingyan shouted coldly.

The elves cast invisibility, silence, and levitation spells, and silently, like ghosts, set out to dig snow mushrooms.

The elves did not lift the spell until they left the sentry post.

Along the way, Si Qingyan was looking for snow mushrooms, and after finding them, she asked Philmes to dig them.

When this cold and decisive female elf looked at Si Qingyan with suspicion, he said as a matter of course:

"What are you looking at me for? If you don't dig, do you still need me to do it myself?"

With so many elves, even though there are many snow mushrooms, there is no need for the Elf King to go out in person.

————

At the same time, in the Demon Tower, a group of strange-looking demons were discussing the deployment of defenses. No one noticed that a small green vine emerged on the ice, weak, helpless, and ordinary.

"The elves are coming to attack, and the orc army will arrive later. Should we seize this opportunity to destroy the elves in one fell swoop?"

"Our mission is to hold on to our living forces and wait for the space channel to open again. We don't need to fight those damn elemental creatures head-on. That's meaningless."

"The Elf Queen is dead, and the new Elf King cannot convince the public. This is our chance."

"Then take this opportunity to try to severely damage the elves and finally kill the Elf King."

"That's fine. If the Elf King dies, then we..."

Several high-ranking demons said this with a smile that they understood each other.

"Get ready, they should be here soon."

The demons were very much looking forward to it. They quickly allocated the troops in the camp and ordered the whole army to prepare for war. They were loose on the surface but tight inside. As long as the elves came, they would be caught off guard.

"How far is the distance?" asked the giant demon who was seven or eight meters tall.

"Two hundred miles."

"With the speed of the elves, it's fast."

The demons rubbed their fists and ambushed secretly.

Twenty minutes passed.

Some demons lying motionless in the snow had a layer of ice on their bodies.

"Why are they so slow? How far are they?" The ogre with sharp fangs sniffed.

"One hundred and fifty miles."

The highly perceptive Heart Demon whispered.

"Soon, I'll eat ten of them when they get there." The giant demon stuck out his tongue and licked frantically, making a slurping sound.

"So disgusting." The beautiful female demon shook her pointed tail with disgust on her face.

The giant demon was about to roar, but when he found out it was a female demon, he didn't dare to speak.

The demon is a high-level demon. Although this female demon is not yet an adult, he can't afford to offend her.

"Be quiet." Another high-level demon is also a demon. He has a handsome and charming face, purple eyes and black hair, a pair of iconic small wings on his back, and a hook-like tail with barbs.

"What are they doing?" asked the male demon.

"Digging snow mushrooms." The Heart Demon honestly told what he had found.

"You must be confusing us, huh, elf." The male demon sneered.

"Yes, have these straightforward guys also learned strategies? It's really hard not to want to kill them all." The female demon smiled evilly.

————

"Your Majesty, the demon station is nearby." Firmus seemed to have a worried look between his eyebrows. She asked:

"Didn't Roderick say that the battle would start after the snow stopped? We came so early, will we alarm the demons?"

"Dig some more snow mushrooms." Si Qingyan ordered coldly.

The elves began to dig snow mushrooms one after another.

The demons didn't seem to like eating these things. The snow mushrooms here grew very well. They were big and round, whiter than snow, soft and tender, and very tempting.

Firmus touched his head. Did he speak just now? Why did he seem to have said nothing? Did he hear what I said? This place is not far from the demon station! Is the Elf King a devil? He only knows how to dig snow mushrooms.

Si Qingyan stood in the snow and looked far away. There was a bigger and better snow mushroom. Unfortunately, it was too close to the demon settlement. Although the demons would not attack actively because the space channel was destroyed, it was still dangerous to touch the other side's gate and do whatever they wanted.

————

Inside the demon settlement, everyone was waiting impatiently.

"How far are they from here?"

"One hundred miles."

"They should be almost there."

Because it was too cold, the giant demon sneezed violently, and a large lump of snot flew out, splashing on several small demons, and they almost fought.

The male demon walked around the camp and suddenly found an extra small vine. He squatted down and stared at the two small leaves on the vine with an obsessive look.

"Brother, what is this?" The underage female demon looked curious.

"It should be a special spiritual object grown on the snowfield, with a hint of ice origin." The male demon explained.

"Ah! So it's a treasure!"

"You can say that. And it suits me very well." The male demon carefully dug the ice surface, dug out the small vine, and held it in his palm.

The little vine swayed left and right as if it had a spirit.

"So cute!" The female demon's eyes lit up.

"It's so small, where should I plant it?" The male demon was a little worried.

This thing is attractive to all creatures with ice attributes. If it is not placed properly, it may be stolen. And its function can only be exerted if it is carried with you.

"Put it here for the time being, and take it out to plant it when it is convenient in the future." The female demon's hand lit up with a black light, and after wrapping the little vine, after several changes, the vine turned into a ring and was worn on the male demon's finger.

"Okay."

Both demons smiled with satisfaction.

"Where did the elves go?" The male demon remembered the business at this time.

"They left." The Heart-stirring Demon was confused.

"What?" The male demon was very surprised.

"The Elf King said that they had dug enough snow mushrooms, so they went back." The Heart-stirring Demon said straightforwardly.

The male demon closed his eyes and sensed, and sure enough, the elves had left now. And the speed was very fast, and it was too late to catch up now.

Crazy? Did they really come out to dig snow mushrooms?

Didn't you say you were going to launch a surprise attack?

————

But now Si Qingyan is almost at the base.

Roderick asked him to go over to discuss, and Si Qingyan went over alone.

Filmers wanted to follow him, but Si Qingyan asked angrily:

"Why are you following? This is a meeting between kings. Brother Zihuang and Roderick are waiting for me there. If you follow me, others will laugh at me."

Filmers immediately knelt down to apologize and said:

"I'm just afraid that you will be deceived by the cunning Roderick. Nowadays, most of the orcs' food comes from human cultivation, and their relationship is getting closer and closer. I heard that they want to unite and let the elves attack the demon settlement alone to consume the elves' power."

"Where did you hear that?" Si Qingyan's face changed.

"It's... the elf who married Roderick. She is my sister."

"Is the source of the news credible?" Si Qingyan had already set up a barrier around them, and no one could hear their conversation.

"It's true. My sister is not happy. She said that Roderick doesn't like her children, but only pretends to love them to protect his favorite son. Roderick will never pass the throne to a human with elf blood." The always strong Firmus' eyes were slightly red, almost crying.

Si Qingyan patted her shoulder to comfort her, and then said:

"In this case... I will tell you the content of the meeting when I come back. If there is any problem, you can tell me secretly."

"I will remember your sister's contribution to the elves, and I will definitely compensate her in the future."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Please be careful of Roderick and Zihuang." Firmus looked touched and loyal.

Si Qingyan helped her up, and then went to the coalition meeting hall to discuss with Roderick.

This section of the road is not short, and the elf who is responsible for taking care of Si Qingyan has packed up the carriage. The horse pulling the carriage is pure white, without a trace of color, with lively eyes, and the energy intensity in the body is quite good. The elf driving the car sat in the front, silent and respectful.

Even though Si Qingyan was playing all day, many elves still treated him with respect. After all, the strength of the Mage Saint was there.

Even if they were angry, they would not be angry once they saw the face of the Elf King. Most elves are obsessed with appearance. Not only loyal to blood, strength, but also to appearance.

The Elf King always seemed unhappy, with a stern face, as if every elf owed him a lot of money. He was in a good mood when digging snow mushrooms, and he laughed a few times. If it could make him happier, it would not matter if he dug a few more times.

The carriage was stable, with a small table inside, where hot milk tea was being cooked. The aroma of baked cheesecake was lingering, soft and sweet, making people feel better unconsciously.

When Si Qingyan went there, Roderick and Zi Huang were both there.

"Did Lansa find any problems? Why didn't he attack the demon settlement today?" Roderick asked.

"The demons knew we were going to attack and prepared in advance."

"The people I was watching didn't move, so they shouldn't have sent any news." Roderick frowned.

"Maybe they don't need to move to pass the message." Si Qingyan said faintly.

"You mean, possession?" Roderick looked ugly.

Possession is a spell unique to high-level demons. It can be attached to the soul of any race. There is no problem with the body of the possessed race, and it cannot be detected by spells. But his mind has been controlled by the demons, and he will serve the demons wholeheartedly. The message between each other is very hidden, and they can communicate with a thought.

"Possession is a heavy burden on the soul of the demons. He has to cut off a part of the soul to perform it. At present, there are only two high-level demons in the demon station. Even if their souls are cut into pieces, they can only possess five or six people in total."

"The possessed person will have an inverted pentagram mark on his body, which is visible to the naked eye and cannot be removed, and it can block mental detection. I will conduct a mandatory inspection today."

Roderick said decisively.

"I will send a message to let them cooperate with you." Zi Huang said.

There are also some orcs in the orc tribe who are suspected of being spies. Behemoth is too big to do this, so Roderick has always been responsible for this brain-consuming task.

"I'll find a way to deal with the elves."

Si Qingyan had a headache.

At this time, how can he convince the elves to take off their clothes for inspection? Or should he find a way to knock them out one by one and then check them quietly.

"The overall situation is important." Roderick sighed.

Among those who are suspected, there are many who have outstanding military achievements. This kind of inspection will inevitably make the other party feel uncomfortable.

"When will we attack?" Zi Huang was a little impatient. Roderick and the Elf King discussed and discussed for a trivial matter, and he was overwhelmed.

"Brothers, I say, why bother about those spies, just attack directly and fight for victory or defeat."

"If the strategy is right, we can reduce a lot of casualties." Roderick patiently comforted.

At present, it is not at all hoped that the coalition forces and the demon garrison will check and balance each other. The space channel may be opened again, and the life of every soldier must be cherished, otherwise there will be a situation where there will be no soldiers available in the future.

Zi Huang and Lan Sa can both go directly to the battlefield, and their subordinates are tough. Compared with them, humans are too fragile.

"I'll listen to you." Zi Huang said helplessly.

"I decided to go out and sneak around the demons every day, waiting for an opportunity. The army can slowly advance to the demon settlement and build trenches." Si Qingyan said her plan.

"Okay." Roderick looked at Si Qingyan with a new eye.

He didn't doubt what Si Qingyan said, that the demons had known about their plan. Similar things have happened many times. The damn spy was like a maggot attached to his bones.

After Si Qingyan went back, he told Felmes that he hoped there was a spy in the coalition, and asked Felmes to pay attention and try to find the spy in the elves as soon as possible. Felmes said that he would live up to the king's trust and do his best to solve the king's problems.

At night, Si Qingyan cooked hot pot in the snow and called all the elves to have fun together.

Various pots, big or small, floated in the air, and the elemental fire holding the pot was always on. The fresh snow mushrooms picked during the day were put into the pot, which was very delicious.

Those suspicious elves fell drunk on the ground after drinking a few more sips of wine, just like other drunk elves, they were completely inconspicuous.

Si Qingyan quietly moved the suspicious elves to a closed room and asked Felmes to take off their clothes for inspection.

Whether it was a male elf or a female elf, Felmes took off their clothes and put them on intact.

Si Qingyan was watching from the side, and she could usually see it with just two glances.

According to Roderick, the two high-level demons could only control five or six spies together, and the number of elves participating in the war was not much compared to the base number of the Hope Alliance. In this way, the elves might have one to three spies.

After stripping a dozen elves, only one elf had an inverted pentagram on the sole of its foot. The mark was only the size of a coin.

"Is it this?" Philmes looked grim.

"Yes."

Philmes was about to kill the elf, but was stopped by Si Qingyan.

"Leave him alive, I still have use for him. Thank you for your hard work today. Philmes, I can only trust you."

Philmes raised his head and smiled, looking at Si Qingyan with a firm look.

"I will not let you down."

"You must remember this sentence." Si Qingyan raised her hand and motioned her to get up.

Except for the elf whose mark was found, the clothes of other elves were put on by Philmes and sent to an inconspicuous place outside.

Philmes went out and left the space to Si Qingyan.

Si Qingyan set up the barrier in the room and woke up the elf on the ground.

"King..."

The first reaction of the naked elf was to cover the unspeakable parts of his body.

And his face turned red.

The atmosphere gradually became awkward.

"Look at the soles of your feet." Si Qingyan had no expression on his face, hoping to purify the elf's dirty thoughts on the ground with a cold look.

"This..." The elf on the ground suddenly turned pale.

"I allow you to explain."

Si Qingyan never took this elf to heart, because he had just come of age not long ago. Although he was a noble, he didn't have many opportunities to access military secrets. Unless he eavesdropped or used some monitoring methods.

"I only came of age two years ago. My parents are ordinary third-generation pure-blooded elves. The queen saw that I had good talent, so she asked me to be her personal soldier."

"For a while, I often had headaches and could hear strange laughter. And I found that I often did things that I didn't remember. I found that the devil possessed me and used my body to steal information. I was very scared and went directly to the queen for help."

"Her Majesty tried to destroy the possession spell, but it would damage my soul and make me an idiot."

"She temporarily sealed the possession spell and told me that when I broke through to the level of a magic saint, she could help me get rid of the possession spell."

"After the queen passed away, the possession spell had no response, and I thought everything was over. I didn't expect to hear the devil's laughter again recently, and I would lose consciousness for a period of time every day."

"I was afraid that I would die, so I didn't confess to the king."

"Please punish me, king."

This elf looks to be in his early twenties, and his real age should not exceed 500 years old. He is a plant-based, fifth-level magician, and his talent is indeed good.

He shrank into a quail, very frightened.

For some reason, he felt that the Elf King would kill him.

"Have you ever thought about removing this mark?" Si Qingyan asked coldly.

"I have tried. It will grow back after cutting it off."

"What if it leaves a scar on the outside?"

The elf on the ground trembled, and used the wind blade technique to cut off the skin on the sole of his foot and control the healing speed.

"A scar burned by fire." Si Qingyan reminded.

The elf used another fireball technique to burn the area black and did not heal it.

In this way, it is indeed impossible to see that there is an inverted pentagram mark there.

"You should sleep for a while."

Under the desperate gaze, Si Qingyan pressed on the forehead of the elf on the ground.

Blood light floated in the palm of his hand, and soon, the elf disappeared.

There was only a pile of clothes on the ground, and ashes that were quickly blown away by the wind.

Si Qingyan called Philmes to come in to deal with it, and asked her to spread the news that the spy in the elf tribe had been executed.

"Your Majesty, you should let me do this. It's not good for your reputation."

Filmers' eyes were sincere.

"When will it be your turn to take care of my affairs?"

Si Qingyan sneered.

Filmers apologized and left.

Si Qingyan played with a string of emerald crystal beads, with an unpredictable look.

It turned out that it was more comfortable to have a bad temper. There were too many demons and monsters. If he dealt with them in a gentle manner, he might be misunderstood as being easy to bully.

The widest part of the scar on Philmes' face exceeded the diameter of a coin. And in the page of the Elf Story, the Blade Queen who scratched Philmes' face was not a fire queen. The scar on Philmes' face was too hideous. It would not leave such a scar if it was only scratched by a knife.
