312. Plan the Temple
"Why do you suspect that your mother is a demon?"
Faced with the question of the fifth day of the first month, this Princess Evelyn replied without any hesitation: "Because ten years ago, during a sacrificial event, I also sneaked into the temple, and saw that she actually had a tail, although her tail disappeared immediately, and told me that it was an illusion, but I am very sure that I just saw a tail behind her, and since then, the temple has been more tightly guarded." ”
It is difficult for normal people to accept the fact that they have a tail, but they are already used to it in the fifth year of the junior high school, and it seems that the mother of Princess Evelyn, that is, the queen of the Great Moon Kingdom, should be a half-orc, but I don't know what kind of half-orc, so I asked.
"And what does your mother's tail look like?"
"It's a white fluffy tail shaped like a fox. ”
Chu Wu nodded, but Evelyn suddenly said excitedly when she saw his movements: "Hey, you believe me, you don't think I'm talking nonsense, do you?"
Seeing Evelyn's reaction, she must have mentioned this matter to others, but I'm afraid no one believes her, so there are normal humans in this big moon country, and there are no half-orcs.
Chu Wu looked at Evelyn and said softly, "Well, I believe you. ”
Evelyn stepped forward and grabbed Chugo's arm and continued: "And my mother has to perform a large sacrifice every five years, and after each event, I can feel some changes in her, but I can't tell where the changes are. ”
"Did your mother punish you ten years ago when she found out you had stolen into the temple and saw her tail?"
"Of course she punished me, and she forbade me to step out of the palace for a whole year. ”
The fifth junior looked at Evelyn, and Evelyn also looked at the fifth junior high, and after a few seconds, the fifth junior finally couldn't help but say.
"That's all, your mother just locked you up in the palace, and there was no other punishment?"
Evelyn blinked her big eyes and replied in confusion, "Isn't that punishment harsh enough? That's a year." ”
Mushroom lid,The fifth year of junior high school scolded in my heart.,This fucking look like a spoiled child.,Only being grounded for a year feels like the most severe punishment.,The fifth year of junior high school feels like a farce.,And it's a farce that doesn't take other people's lives seriously.。
"And what about your father?"
"I don't know, because my mother has so many princes, so I can't be sure who my father is. ”
What kind of strange country is this Great Moon Country, so I couldn't help but ask.
"Did you sneak into the temple to make sure your mother had a tail?"
"yes".
Evelyn replied as a matter of course, and asked again on the fifth day of junior high school: "After that, if you are sure that your mother really has a tail, then what will you do?"
"I haven't figured this out yet. ”
Chu Wu took a deep breath, and he suddenly felt that he had met an idiot, so he went straight to the point.
"Tell me about the temple and I'll help you find out if your mother has a tail. ”
"Are you really going to help me?" Evelyn's eyes widened instantly, but for a moment they were a little dim.
"It's a pity that the guards outside the temple are too tight now, and you can't enter it at all. ”
"You don't have to worry about this, you just need to tell me the way to the temple and the layout of the buildings inside the temple. ”
Evelyn thought for a moment, grabbed Chuwu's arm and walked to the other side of the tunnel, and said at the same time.
"You come with me, I'll draw it for you, I can't make sense of that. ”
The fifth day of the first year followed Evelyn out of the exit of this tunnel, and found that this was a basement, and after going up the stairs of the basement, it turned out to be a luxurious bedroom, and then Princess Evelyn directly pulled the fifth day of the first month to a table, and began to draw with the paper and pen on the table, and also talked with the drawing.
Through Evelyn's explanation, the fifth day of the first month learned about the situation in the temple, which is divided into many rooms and passages, but the others are not important, the most critical is located in a large hall in the middle of the upper part of the temple, where the sacrifice is carried out.
Evelyn didn't know what the sacrifice process in the temple was about, because outsiders were not allowed to enter it, but when the sacrifice was successful, the top of the temple tower would spread a layer of light waves to the entire Otsuki City, and when the light waves came, everyone would feel happy.
Hearing this, the fifth day of the first month was even more sure that the glowing object at the top of the temple must be a diamond stone, but when he was outside the city, why didn't he see that the top of this temple would glow?
Now Chu Wu has a bold guess, everything he sees and experiences now should be the past of the city, in this case, assuming that his arrival is not a coincidence, then it must be related to the diamond stone at the top of the huge square cone-shaped temple, so Chu Wu made up his mind to go to the temple to see.
After inquiring about Evelyn again, she learned that the temple sacrifice will be held in three days, when all the people in the city will gather around the temple to pray, this prayer will last for three days, and when the top of the temple bursts out of the light wave, the queen of Otsuki Castle will walk out of the temple and accept the worship of all the people of Otsuki City, and then the queen will announce the successful end of the sacrifice.
Now that the queen is living in the temple, when the sacrifice begins three days later, the soldiers around the temple will blow the horn to announce the start of the sacrifice.
The reason why Evelyn knows the secret way to enter the temple is because she always enters the temple in a dream, which makes the fifth junior high school feel a little nonsense, but Evelyn doesn't look like a liar, so the fifth junior high school can only choose to believe.
Evelyn told her to wait three days before taking him into the temple after the sacrifice began, because at that time all the guards in the temple would leave the temple and go outside to guard it, and all the doors of the temple would be closed and could only be opened inside.
In that case, let's wait for three days, and then the fifth day of the new year will find out that this is really Princess Evelyn's room, and he is safe to hide here.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, there was a knock on Evelyn's door, and a man's voice sounded outside the door.
"Princess, I'm Mars, and there has just been a sand thief invasion in the city, so I'll come over to check if the princess is in danger. ”
Evelyn said impatiently that there were no sand thieves, and that she was sleeping, so don't disturb her, and then very unceremoniously chased the people outside the door away.
After the man was gone, Evelyn whispered to the fifth junior that Mars was the head of the palace guards and her mother's most faithful bodyguard.
