Chapter 40: The Stronghold (Part 1)
Dongzhou border.
Golden Bell Town.
As one of the dozens of small towns in the territory of Canglan City, Jindang Town has always had no sense of existence.
Moreover, it is one of the small towns that serve as a transit between Canglan City and Donghua City, so there are many strangers who come and go.
In a small and unremarkable building in the town, there were four or five mages in black robes, some of them were looking up ancient books, some were transversing runes, and some were setting up various enchantments.
This is one of the temporary strongholds of the Aurora Shadow.
Because of the appearance of the elves, the activities of the Polar Shadow Organization in Dongzhou have slowly begun to become active, and not only that, but the White Feather Empire, which is millions of miles away, has also begun to send people to collect some information.
Since these elves can appear in the Canaan Empire, it is not impossible for them to appear in the White Feather Empire.
Although this task is not the main focus of the Polar Shadow Organization at this stage, the appearance of the elves has still attracted the attention of some high-level officials.
"There shouldn't be anything to do with me here, I still have to rush back to Tianhuang Mansion, I've been out for so long, if I don't go back, I'm afraid of arousing suspicion."
Zhou Ziheng roughly calculated the time, and said to Chenhui, who was inquiring about information.
"Well, I'll take care of the follow-up matters, and you can leave at any time after you pass the declaration with the organization."
Chenhui's eyes were a little tired.
In the past few days, he has consulted all the information about the elven language overnight, and he only learned from the mouth of the great magician that there is indeed a small team of elves lurking on the border of the Canaan Empire.
Unfortunately, the archmage was already a little delirious in the various interrogation techniques, and with his mana replenishment cut off, Sunglow didn't know if he would be able to survive now.
More news will have to come out sooner rather than later.
"By the way, is there any news from Canglan City?"
Chenhui opened his mouth to ask, Zhou Ziheng has been in contact with Song Yixiu for the past two days.
"Not yet, I sent him a runic message this morning, but no one has accepted it until now."
Zhou Ziheng shook his head.
"Maybe it's because the co-political officer of the Mirror Moon Mansion has arrived, and it's not convenient for him to reply to the news."
"I've found some information about the Phantoms, which seem to belong to a special variant of the Elven family, and come from a place called the Abyss. Chenhui said: "There are also some legends about phantoms, I don't know if it's true or not, I need to do some experiments." ”
"Do you want Song Yixiu to bring that phantom over with you?" Zhou Ziheng asked suspiciously: "Or do you want to go to Canglan City?" ”
Gu Linghuan and Song Yixiu now have a life distance, Zhou Ziheng knows a little, but now is not a good time to go to Canglan City.
Canglan City is just such a place, and the people from Jingyue Mansion are here, if they enter and exit as unfamiliar faces, there is a great possibility of exposure.
"Let's contact Yixiu first, see if he can have a chance to come out, if not, then we will go to Canglan City together."
"And you don't call him by his name, it's easy to reveal his identity." Chenhui said unhurriedly.
"Is there any difference between his name and his codename.....
Zhou Ziheng complained helplessly.
It was the first time he had seen someone take a code name so similar to his own.
He even had some doubts about whether the rest here was the one who used to be in the White Feather Pavilion.
Generally speaking, the people in the Polar Shadow Organization have at least three pronouns, one is their original name in the White Feather Empire, one is the code name, and the other is the name of the hidden location.
However, Song Yixiu directly took Yixiu as a code name, which is really associative.
"Well, okay, I'll get back to you as soon as he gets back to me."
Zhou Ziheng nodded.
But after a pause, he suddenly remembered something.
"Oh, no. Didn't I just say I was going back to Tianhuang Mansion? ”
"Before the return application is approved, you are in my charge." Chenhui declared.
Zhou Ziheng: "......."
