Chapter 35: Infiltration

Will there be a great story in the auction? It's a fantasy world.

Now Morningstar is feeling bored, jewelry, pets, rare weapons, that's probably it.

Looking at the people around him, he took pictures of his favorite items, and he smiled, and the thief who failed in the competition was depressed. There are no ordinary guests who sit in ordinary seats, and there are no mysterious guests who sit in the box.

Wei Dali's trip was full of gains, and he photographed a weapon that is said to be a high-level cosmic civilization. Morningstar didn't want to hit him, this thing Anshidar had shown himself, Pusenchus's individual melee weapon needed to be injected with psionic energy to awaken, and for Wei Dali without psionic power, the sharpness of this thing was not as good as the kitchen knife bought on the market.

Boredom, Morningstar walked out of the box. Surprisingly, not far from the door, Caterina was leaning against the wall of the hallway.

Seeing Morningstar go out, Caterina extinguished the cigarette in her hand and came to Morningstar's side. Reaching into his arms, he took out another cigarette and motioned for Morning Star to come too. Morningstar shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to. Caterina lit it for herself again, and before she could finish it, she didn't want to be snatched from her mouth by the morning star, so she threw it to the ground and stomped it out.

"You're special!" Caterina is far from being noble and polite as a noble princess, but runs the train with her mouth full.

Morningstar turned his head and glared at her, interrupting her words, and said, "You should smoke less, even if you are crooked, think about your future children." ”

"Idiot!" Although Caterina still stimulated Morning Star, she put away her cigarette case and did not continue to light it. Stretching, Caterina said, "Boring? ”

"Hmm." Morning Star nodded and said, "When I used to read books, I said that there must be something wonderful in the auction, but I really participated, but it was so boring. ”

"Hahahaha!" Caterina didn't just say that Morning Star was an idiot this time, but even her eyes were full of the feeling of looking at an idiot. Finally controlling her emotions, Caterina said: "This is for ordinary guests, haven't you noticed, these things are only bid by people in the hall, oh yes, except for your fat friend, how did this thing get into the box, shame." ”

Morningstar somewhat understood, it turned out that this was just an appetizer, and there was an auction that was not open to the public. He looked at Caterina and said, "Because of you, that fat man has a chance to enter the box." ”

slapped her head hard, Caterina looked very remorseful, shook her head and said, "Miscalculation, this is a big shame." Lowering her voice, Caterina continued: "There is no chance now, the auction will be closed to the public later, there will be very strict security, and at the same time, in order to send other guests out, some of the energy will be distracted. I'll take that fat man with me, and you can find your own chance. As she spoke, Caterina pointed her finger upwards and added, "Did you notice when you came, the top window, the study, can only be entered from the outside, figure it out yourself." ”

"Grass!" Morning Star couldn't help but burst into foul language and said, "This is your assistance?" ”

Caterina didn't care about Morning Star's rudeness, and spread her hands and said, "The internal auction is very interesting, I come back to participate every time it is held, how can I miss it this time." With that, he ignored Morning Star's reaction and walked back to his own box.

……

As Caterina said, at the end of the auction, many guests were sent out of the castle. And Wei Dali was also called away by Caterina at the first time.

After being sneered at by Caterina, Morningstar is ordered to take her to rest. Although Caterina said in front of everyone that this entourage was disrespectful to her, for the sake of Wei Dali, who had been a friend for many years, she didn't care about him. But Morningstar knew she was creating space for herself to act alone. Refusing the maid's request to serve, Morningstar locked himself in the house. As night fell, Morningstar took off his formal clothes and wore the combat uniform that had been worn inside, which was very close to his body under Anshidar's transformation.

The castle's defenses are really very cautious, even the outer rocks are polished as smooth as mirrors, and the joints of the rocks are filled tightly, and there is no way to borrow strength. The Morning Star, which hung on the outer wall, was now very grateful to Anshidar, as if he were an unknown prophet, and when the Morning Star left the Queen's Eyes, Anshidar gave himself such a pair of gadgets. Helping Morningstar anchor his body to the wall were two inconspicuous rings, which were infused with psionic energy to become simple gravitational devices, and with the help of them, Morningstar was able to reach Jorah's study at the top of the castle under the cover of night.

After confirming that there was no surveillance facility, Morningstar rolled over and entered Jorah's study. The furnishings are simple, with two rows of bookshelves filled with books, a desk, a row of guest seats, and another table behind the guest seats. There is no safe, and the drawers of the desk are not locked, and I carefully flipped through the documents in the desk drawer, which were also related to the governance of the territory and planets. Examined the books on the shelves and found nothing special.

Maybe that's not a reasonable breakthrough? Morningstar muttered to himself. Rechecking to make sure there were no special marks, Morningstar returned to the window, ready to leave. But at this moment, an ethereal voice sounded in his head: "Please help me, human!" ”

Morningstar hurriedly looked back, but didn't find anyone, patted his head, Morningstar thought that he had been lacking rest recently, maybe he was having auditory hallucinations, and the voice in his head sounded again: "Please help me, please." Morning Star, who heard the voice again, was sure that someone was calling for help, but the sound seemed to go straight to the heart, very different from what the ears heard. Stabilizing his mind, Morningstar tried to ask in his mind, but to his surprise, he received an answer from the person who asked for help: "Please help me, I'm in the secret room behind the bookshelf." ”

Morningstar remembers that Anshidar had said to himself that certain creatures in the universe could communicate with other species through their minds, and that such communication was an application of a special ability called telekinesis. And this feeling now should be heart-to-heart communication, right?

The bookshelf was re-examined, and an inconspicuous protrusion was found by the Morning Star. Press hard, and the bookshelf in front of you flips over, leaking out of the entrance to the dark room.

Cautiously entering, Morningstar saw the inside of the chamber by the faint light outside the window. As in the study, it is simply furnished, with a bed, two sofas, and a safe. But unlike the study, a vague figure was sitting on the bed at the moment, and when he saw the arrival of the Morning Star, the figure got up from the bed and ran to the Morning Star, who was still in the doorway.

Instead of meeting the running figure, Morning Star turned around and took a closer look, finding a protrusion similar to the exterior next to the door, and when he pressed it, the door to the dark room slowly closed. Turning on the lighting system on the personal terminal, the room suddenly became much brighter, the figure standing in front of the morning star, white skin, white clothes, white hair, the sudden light at this moment made this figure raise his hand to cover his eyes, unable to see his face clearly, but her injured shackles were incompatible with the holy temperament of the whole body. As if gradually adapting to the light, the figure slowly lowered his hand, and an impeccable and perfect face appeared in front of the morning star, even the warblers and swallows on the queen's eyes were a little less holy than them, and the magnificent purple eyes and pointed ears made this face a strange temptation.

Wait, pointed ears! The morning star shook suddenly, with a human-like appearance and pointed ears. Is she a starry sky elf?

The voice came through my head again: "In your human words, I am a starry sky elf. ”

Without seeing any movement of the starry sky elf's lips in front of him, Morningstar asked, "Are you talking to me?" ”

The elf nodded.

The voice in Morningstar's head sounded again: "Yes, I have very little knowledge of human language and can only use my mind to communicate with you. Please save me, I came here after being attacked by star thieves and sold several times, that man, his breath is getting more and more obscene, he wants to defile me. Please help me. ”

"I'm human too, do you believe me?" Morningstar replied.

"Your breath is friendly, curious, but not malicious." The elf's face seemed to flush, and the voice that came to Morningstar's mind was much softer.

Morningstar didn't pay attention to the elf's shyness, a message from her words was keenly captured by Morningstar, Star Thief.

The communication went well, and Morningstar learned what happened to the starry elf, and the most important of them was the conversation between the Brunie brothers before. Although it was previously speculated that Jorah might be in collusion with the Kuroshio Star Thieves, what he couldn't expect was that Jorah and the leader of the Kuroshio turned out to be biological brothers.

Looking at the safe placed aside, Morningstar recognized it, the name was Stubborn Stone, the work of the Alliance's military-industrial complex, and it was claimed to have a defense against the ship's main guns. Turning to the elf behind him, he asked, "You just said that the man put a lot of information here?" ”

The elf nodded.

"Trouble, this thing needs the owner's fingerprint and password to work together to open, what should I do? It is possible to hold the owner hostage and obtain fingerprints, but he will definitely not say the password. Morningstar scratched his head, knowing that there was something in the safe that he needed, but he couldn't get it, and his mood was a little messy.

The voice that sounded in his head again made Morning Star's mood suddenly improve: "I remember the password, I saw it when he put things in before." ”

Simple plan, or rather a little crude. Morningstar's communication with the starry sky elf revealed that Jorah would come to this secret room several times a day just to appreciate the beauty of this elf. The elf who knows the password and the unconscious Jorah equals the information in the safe. Morningstar knew that such an opportunity would not come again, and as for the troubles that would occur later, it was not considered.

Lying side by side with the elves in bed, this way of communicating without moving your mouth makes Morningstar feel very fresh, waiting is boring, but you have to have some fun for yourself. During the exchange, Morningstar learns the name of the elf, Norin Hill. Hearing this name, Morning Star also jokingly said that it was very similar to one of his comrades-in-arms, and this sentence also aroused the curiosity of the starry sky elves, and then it was Morning Star who told a story to introduce her to the warblers and swallows on the Queen's Eye.

Norin Hill was very curious about this inexplicable human being, and she didn't know why, but she didn't even get a positive answer that the other party could save her, and she was already very secure. And this human who calls himself Morning Star, when talking about his friends on the ship, that kind of sincere affection makes Norin Hill feel very yearning. Since being attacked by the star thieves, none of the humans he has come into contact with can have such a natural breath, the cruelty of those star thieves, and the obscenity of those buyers, once made Norin Hill think that humans are evil creatures, and his own people have also obtained such an answer in contact with humans.

"Hey." Morningstar's words interrupted Nolyn Hill's thoughts, and the words in his head were sensed by Nolyn Hill. "What's the matter with the shackles on your hands, did Jorah put them on you?"

"No, this is what the star thief who captured me brought for me in order to prevent me from using telekinesis."

"Can you untie it?"

"The key is in the man's hand."

"That's easy, one pot. However, if I think you can know anything, it feels like there is no privacy. ”

"I'll only use this ability when I want to communicate with people, and when I learn your language, we can communicate normally."

"Huh?" Morningstar seemed to catch something from Norin Hill's answer, and looked back at the elf lying beside her, and found that she also realized the inappropriateness of her words, and her face flushed again.

What does that mean? This elf wants to follow him?

A sudden sound came from outside the back room, interrupting Morningstar's sense of self, Jorah, finally here.
