Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 422: Mysterious place

In the end, Lin still reluctantly put down the unpolished gem in his hand, but the exposed part was shining brightly. Like shiny things, not someone's style. Maybe you will be fascinated by that value for a while, but after all, it is not what you pursue, so you will not get lost and forget the purpose of this trip.

Even so, if it was a red and white computer and Mario placed here today, it would definitely forget about any tasks, and go home after touching something. Let's clear the game first.

And this journey of exploration went smoothly. But just because it was so smooth, it made Lin suspect one thing. Riena said that there are 213 members of the Shenmu Guards, 73 of them have appeared on the ground, and 55 have been identified in the tree body area so far, and there are 85 elves left?

The reason for doubting this matter again is because Lin feels that there are too few elves encountered in the passages and internal passages on the World Tree.

Maybe the Shenmu Guards are quite confident that no one will invade such a place, so they don't need too many patrols. But they must have somewhere to go. The rest of the elves who were not seen by Lin, could it be that they are also popular in staying in their rooms and not going out?

Just as he was thinking this way, he slowly stretched out the water mirror at the corner, and retracted it quickly with a whoosh. Someone thought that his psychological adjustment had passed, but at this moment, cold sweat still broke out on his forehead.

Carefully stretch out the water mirror again. The scene reflected in the mirror is a small square space, which is much larger than the aisle in the inner space of the World Tree.

The point is that there is about a small team standing here, six or seven members of the Shenmu Guards in full armor, and all the elves hold bows in their hands, obviously guarding this place. Moreover, everyone's station layout is flawless, and the vision ranges of the elves complement each other, and there seems to be no dead ends.

Even the treasure house I encountered before is not half guarded. What is the reason for so many people here?

The shape and size of the door looked the same as the ones seen before, and there was nothing special about it from the outside. This made Lin even more curious about what was behind the door. But, how to get into it?

Shout out? There are no windows or anything. Except for other rooms, it is a fully enclosed passage, and there is no ventilation pipe. Coupled with the good living habits of the elves, there is no stack of debris in the passage. It can be said that all the tricks someone could think of would not work here, or there would be a great risk of exposing himself.

In the midst of distress, another message window popped up in his field of vision. It was from Kaya, who reminded me that dinner was coming and it was time to prepare.

If it was before, Lin would think that if he missed it, he would miss it, and it would be nothing if he was hungry. But if you don't want to arouse any suspicion from the other party now, the best way is to do everything as usual. So after confirming the distance and direction between the current location and the tent on the ground, Lin flashed and left the space inside the World Tree.

There was no one in the camp, and because it was under the dense shade of the World Tree, it got dark earlier than the world outside. Going outside and looking up, except for some dim light that can still be seen in the shade, the camp of the elf army has already set up magic lamps for night lighting in some key points.

In order to limit the use of open flames, dinner cooking is concentrated in one area. And because you can't throw away kitchen waste and leftovers, everyone has to come here if they want to eat.

The members of the Shenmu Guard stood not far away to supervise, apparently to monitor the open flames and prevent sparks from flying around; but now Lin secretly observed each other, and realized that the eyes of the elves were not only staring at the flames. They scanned almost the entire camp, looking like they were nodding secretly to see who was coming and who was not.

Is it because I am thinking too much, or is it that the elves of the Shenmu guards are really monitoring the actions of all outsiders?

No matter how delicious food is, it will become tasteless after a few days of continuous eating, let alone dry food. Just soaking soft and rotten food in hot water is difficult for even a few humans and dwarves who are accustomed to hardship; let alone the delicate elves.

Although the elves did not protest on the surface, they have heard a lot of complaints in private. They even complained intentionally or unintentionally, why they followed this meaningless visit. Many elves wanted to go home.

After all, after coming here, there was nothing to do for a few days. I want to explain to others that the work cannot be started because the materials are not in place, and probably no one can listen to it. Fortunately, someone with a thick skin is used to going in the left ear and out the right ear.

The two thin-skinned girls thought heartlessly that they were just following their teacher's instructions, so if they complained, someone should be responsible. The two of them who thought this way didn't have any psychological burden, they were entangled in the emotions shown by others because of their unhappiness. Fern has always been self-centered, and she doesn't care about other people's feelings.

After swallowing the soft, tasteless bowl of dinner, Lin returned to the temporary sinking place. Due to the limited number of magic lamps used for lighting, no one is allowed to light a bonfire here, so there are no large-scale activities in the World Tree camp at night.

In the past few nights, the elves have gathered into a few groups and enthusiastically started the TRPG running group. There are a few elves with relatively rich experience, plus some storytelling skills, they are already impressive as game hosts, and they are not at all lost to someone who is short-lived. Except for the first night when Lin took the king to run the mission, he tried his best to decline the rest of the time.

Originally, the lich would join them and play games together. But after playing a few times, she also quit. Just as adventure partners have to be chosen carefully, the same is true for game partners. A group of people who can walk together must have something in common. If you agree, you will come, if you don’t agree, you will go, no matter what kind of life you are, this is the truth.

Playing with the only (?) dice made by someone, Fern followed Lin back to the tent. At the same time, those two girls and the elven sword dancer Liena Titov followed.

The two girls are busy with the work temporarily assigned by their teachers. Although there was no time limit to complete it, because it was a new topic, a sense of freshness pushed Kaya and Hallumi to plunge into this project topic that required a professional team and took a lot of time to complete even on Earth.

As for the female elf, she was supposed to follow their young king and perform protection and security work secretly; but the photo that someone handed to her through Fern made Liena tell Lin about the situation inside the Shenmu guard. The progress felt quite strong, stemming from the curiosity of worry, so she followed. Anyway, these days and nights, it's not news that she and the Lich get tired of being together, so it shouldn't attract the attention of others.

Riena didn't see outside at all, entered the camp, and immediately asked, "What did you find?"

Lin didn't say much, and once again used the first coffin to play back his memories. Harumi would like to find out if there are any fragments that can be used as a reference for lip language analysis. It's a pity that everyone in the Shenmu Guard wears their masks tightly, so they can't see the shape of their mouths, so naturally they don't have to think about lip reading.

During the broadcast, Lin saw that Liena was watching very seriously, and couldn't help asking: "Have you never been to these places?"

"Basically, except for the members of the guards, other people are not allowed to enter the World Tree. Of course, I have never been there, let alone know that there are other areas inside the World Tree."

"Not even your little king?"

"As far as I know, no. In fact, before the king came to the World Tree, it was an annual hunting tour. He mainly came here to hold the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the ancestors. The process is very cumbersome, and he will not stay for long time." When she saw someone entering the arsenal and treasury, Riena's eyes drifted unnaturally towards someone.

Lin has a clear conscience about this. Although he picked up some things to enjoy, he didn't take any of them away. Anyway, things won't break if you touch them. If you can't even touch it, watch it closely. It was left unattended there in vain, and others are not allowed to pass by for reference.

Because it is replaying the memory, it can be played in fast-forward mode, and everyone will soon see the ending part, the room with guards. The scene stopped abruptly after someone repeatedly confirmed the strict protection of this place.

Fern asked first, "What's in this room?"

"I don't know~www.NovelMTL.com~ I couldn't get in. So I want to ask Riena, what might this be?"

The female elf who was named shook her head. Even the treasure house is unguarded, what is more important than that place? She has no clue.

"Will it be the location of your military communication magic circle?" Lin still asked.

Riena said with certainty: "It's true that the protection of the magic circle is very strict, but it hasn't reached this level. Especially since the forum you created has become popular in the human world, I don't care about other elf kingdoms." Dare to say, but there are very few human spies sent by Arte Jaime to spy on the secret of the magic circle, and even we have contracted some already tight manpower."

"That's right." Lin lamented that another answer option was missing.

Fern asked now, "What are you going to do, then? Ignore the place? Or force your way in?"

"Forcibly breaking into it is definitely not acceptable." Lin shook his head and said: "If there was no hostility at first, because we broke into an irrelevant but confidential place for them, it would become an enemy even if it is not an enemy. As for ignorance, Are you willing?"

"Then what are your plans?"

Facing Fen's question, after thinking for a while, Lin dug out one of the many design concept drawings he had left before, and displayed it in front of everyone. It was an improved form of the Arcane Eye. The most important thing is that there is an experimental magic design on it, which can be positioned at a long distance and can be captured by the flash technique.

When it reaches the fixed point, it will start to collect the surrounding image information, and after waiting for recovery, it can extract and play the information of the target location. Lin dubbed the design the 'Spy Eye'.
