Turning to the next page, a few pages of the book were obviously torn out, which made Olina grit her teeth, "Why don't these people understand the integrity of record keeping?"

"Your Excellency Okan, did they get the real object of the Dao of Heaven?"

"How is it possible! It is a creation above the gods, so it is not as weird and terrifying as it is written in the records. And it can fulfill all human wishes, so where is the danger?"

"Then... this news is meaningless."

"Not at all." Olina paced back and forth, "Heaven... or the Holy Grail, the easiest thing to produce incredible things. After all, chaos is the original force, beyond common sense, and it can even be said that the more incomprehensible the creation, the more difficult it will be. It may be born from the Holy Grail. Whether their fairy arts or the empire's divine arts, they can all be attributed to gifts from the heavens. Then...things born from the Holy Grail should also help us find the real Holy Grail."

She picked up the book and read it again, "Think about it, did any unusual and strange things happen in Shangyuan City and its surroundings a month ago?"

The two thought hard for a while, and one of the guard knights frowned and said, "I wonder if a temple in the southern suburbs has collapsed?"

"Temple?" Olina asked in surprise.

"It seems to be called Qingguan Temple? It is rumored that it has been in disrepair for a long time, and even the big Buddha has collapsed."

"How do you know such a thing?"

"I...go to Goulan a lot," the knight said a little embarrassedly, "the people there like to talk about such trifles. But...the matter was quite a big deal at the time, because the temple is not small, and the collapse of the temple is very important to the local people." It’s kind of unlucky to say the least.”

What the prince said to her suddenly flashed in Olina's mind.

"It's a legacy of my father's father...he believed in reincarnation."

Father's father—that is, during the Tianfeng period.

In other words, the statues and temples related to Buddha all sprang up at that time, and the mysterious things recorded in the books were also sent to Shangyuan during that emperor.

Olina shut the book abruptly, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with this temple!"

"Your Excellency?" the knight asked puzzled.

"Think about it, if you plan to secretly build a dark room in a prosperous place, what will the empire do?"

"Build a church first." The other party said without thinking, "and call on the believers to pay the money."

"Why?" asked another.

"Is there any need to ask? First, it can reduce expenses, and second, they will spontaneously publicize that there will be an extra church here."

"That's right," Olina nodded. "Then the darkroom will be opened soon. Do you want people to stay away from it?"

The guard knight suddenly asked, "You said the church was cursed, and then burned it down?"

"In the Central Plains, the method they chose was to collapse."

Olina put the book into her backpack, "How far is this temple from Shangyuan City?"

"I have never been there. If I drive a horse, I guess it will take half an hour at most." The knight pondered for a while, "But there is one problem, the city is currently under lockdown, and special permission is required even if you go out of the city during the day. Based on your identity, It is not difficult to obtain a pass, but His Royal Highness will also know your whereabouts."

"So we'll go there at night."

"Are you going to—"

"Exactly." Olina interrupted him, "If you use flying, it doesn't take half an hour."

"I understand," the knight saluted, "I will arrange a suitable takeoff point immediately."

"For the glory of the sun god."

"For the glory of the sun god."

...

"Uh...do they really believe it?" Li Cai blinked his eyes and said after everyone left.

"It doesn't have to be completely believed, but at least I will verify it myself." Xia Fan quickly wrote a note and handed it to Li, "Hurry up and pass the news to Xinwu, saying that the situation has changed, and their inspection It will be sooner than expected!"

With the help of the elves' translation, he did not ignore the word "flying".

This means that neither curfews nor city closures can stop each other for long.

"Leave it to me." Li turned his head and handed the note to Gun Gun, who disappeared into the ventilation shaft with a "meow".

"Uh... when did that guy come?"

"Delivering the mail yesterday. I found it quicker to use it than to run myself."

"Okay." Xia Fan accepted the reality, "The next step is to see the performance of the Privy Council."

"Not bad, your scene is really interesting." Qian Yan punched Xia Fan in the waist with some excitement. She seemed to be very happy to see the foreigner look deflated, "Don't talk about the enemy, even I saw Those descriptions always have a creepy feeling. How did you come up with it?"

Xia Fan gasped, and quickly covered his waist, "Ahem... just took advantage of the weakness of people's curiosity, and you can make it up after mastering the skills." It can leave more room for imagination, and add a little detail that goes against common sense, so that people can consciously construct a horror picture.

Of course, just having a story is not enough.

The pages of the book are soaked in black tea to make them old, and the ink that fades easily is used to simulate the handwriting of different years. These are the special skills for the secret agents of the Privy Council. But they can only be used to embellish the story, not to make it a fact.

Therefore a credible "clue" must be based on a realistic framework.

He spent the whole day communicating with the Privy Council represented by Xinwu, and in a series of optional events, he finally picked Qingguan Temple as the starting point. According to the statement over there, this matter was considered to be an uproar at the time, and the probability of someone in Honglu Temple noticing it was not low.

If the other party fails to understand these fabricated "details", he can also use other secondary evidence to strengthen the messenger's impression.

It turned out that the ambassador's professional level was quite good. Not only did some of his subordinates remember the big and small events that happened in Gyeonggi-ri, but he also acted very quickly and made a decision almost immediately.

"Should we just wait here for news?" Luo asked softly.

"You can also intensify the search by the way." Xia Fan took out a sack, "I didn't want the Privy Council to find out that we had taken away the documents and files before, but now I don't have such worries—first, take the legal documents from that cabinet." Bring in all the machine drawings."

Because they already have a natural backer.

...

That night, Olina found nothing.

Of course, this was not what Xia Fan witnessed directly, but what Xin Wu told him.

Not long after Olina left the Privy Council, a fire broke out around Honglu Temple. Fire has always been the most important thing to watch out for in the metropolis. In order to prevent accidents, Honglu Temple closed the gate and gathered all the envoys. Although the two fires were quickly extinguished, Olina was confined in the compound and could not move for a whole night.
