I understand that the Thousand-Faced Beast has launched an attack here. Judging by the time of death of the body, the attack occurred shortly before my arrival. There were about a dozen people who died, and judging from the wounds on the corpses, it should have been the entire family of the Thousand-Faced Beast. But in the entire camp, there are only these corpses, where are the more mercenaries? I know very well that with the ability of the entire family of the Thousand-Faced Beast, it is impossible to wipe out all the mercenaries. And these well-trained mercenaries will definitely be frightened by these thousand-faced beasts and flee in all directions. The only possibility is that all the mercenaries in the camp had left before the Thousand Faces attack, leaving only a few men to guard the empty camp. Well, where did these departed mercenaries go? What did they do?

Thinking of this, I had a vague premonition. A chill rose in my heart. I did not dare to stay long in the empty camp, and ran as fast as I could towards the mountain pass at the end of the lake.

On the other side of the mountain pass at the end of the lake, I joined up with Dole and Agmar, who had received them. I simply told them what I saw in the camp. We said as we hurried forward.

Doler didn't know anything about the Thousand-Faced Beast, and he said, "How did the Thousand-Faced Beast appear at this time?" ”

Agma said, "The harassment of the Thousand-Faced Beast was arranged by Master. ”

Doler still didn't understand, "But, how could the Thousand-Faced Beast accept his sister's arrangement?" ”

Agma said, "When it comes to this, a piece of cloth will grow." I'll tell you later. What I blame is, how can so many people have disappeared? ”

I didn't say what I thought and what I had to worry about, I just asked them to think, why is this happening?

"Since the mercenary camp is empty, but it is still brightly lit, it means that they are not leaving the camp. Otherwise, there should be an open space there. From this point of view, these mercenaries should have encountered some kind of accident and left suddenly. Could it be the Thousand-Faced Beasts, who killed all the mercenaries and threw their corpses into the lake? But it's not like it, there are so many mercenaries with guns and cannons, it's impossible for the Thousand-Faced Beast to kill them all. They've almost killed the Thousand-Faced Beast! Or, could those mercenaries hide because they can't handle the Thousand-Faced Beasts? It's not quite like there's no place around here to hide so many people except by this lake. ”

"I also think it's because these mercenaries have changed their minds and left suddenly. If they did it on purpose, it should be a decoy. So what is their purpose in using this as bait? If you want to deal with sneak attacks, you should at least set up some traps and so on. But there was nothing. So there is only one possibility, they are leaving temporarily. Although they did not pull out the camp, they took all the supplies with them, which shows that these people did not leave passively, but left actively. It's just that I can't think of why they left suddenly. But since there is no place for these people to hide, and there is no trace of these people in our path, it is only possible that these people have gone forward. From the camp of the mercenaries, there are two directions forward. These two directions lead to two different temples. These mercenaries are supposed to go to one of their temples, or divide their forces into two temples. But if so, it must be one of the two temples, and something happened for these mercenary people to find out. ”

"That makes sense. But nothing could happen on the other side of the real temple, because the entrance over there was already closed, and outsiders could not find it, not to mention the way in, but the way to enter. There are people from the tribe leading the way, and they can't enter without the permission of the tribal leader or my master. The place they were going to, there was only one possibility, the fake temple that had already been set up in the battlefield. ”

Hearing Dole and Agma's analysis, I nodded frequently. Both of them saw the essence of the matter, and although they were lacking, they had analyzed the ins and outs of the matter more comprehensively.

I said, "Your analysis is good, it makes sense." Next, let's confirm and see if there is a gap between your analysis and the facts? How far is the gap from the truth? Judging from the current analysis alone, you have overlooked one link, that is, is there a relationship between the temple side and the mercenary's sudden departure? If so, what is the relationship? ”

Doler seemed a little embarrassed, and said, "Actually, I thought of it, but I didn't dare to say it." ”

I said, "There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to hide what you want to say." ”

Dole said, "I think what happened to the temple may be that someone has become a traitor, and this traitor has led these mercenaries to attack the temple. ”

Agmar said, "Even if that's the case, then the only thing that happened could only be the fake temple." Because there are a lot of outsiders here, the so-called forest is big, and naturally there are all kinds of birds. The real temple is the guardian of the ancestors, and it is impossible for anyone to have two hearts. ”

I said, "There is another possibility, have you ever thought that there may not have been any traitors, but that these mercenaries knew the exact location of the temple by some way or means that you do not know. If so, both possibilities are equally present. ”

"It's too deep, and my little head isn't enough." ”

I said, "Otherwise, I'll just slap you flat and hang you up on the wall." You don't have to think about it anymore. ”

Agma said, "I'm going to become a portrait, won't I get old?!" ”

I said, "Your master hasn't become a portrait, is she old?" ”

Agma became excited and said, "You mean, I can be like Master?" Senior, can you tell me how big my master really is? ”

I said, "There are two things in this world that you should never inquire about. One is a man's wallet. There is also the age of the woman. ”

Agmar said, "What are you talking about?! ”

At this time, Doler found a corpse on the side of the road in front of him. When we got closer, we saw the corpse, dressed as a mercenary, falling to the ground in a strange position. When I saw the corpse of this mercenary, I couldn't help but laugh to myself, it was the masterpiece of the Thousand-Faced Beast. The mercenary was apparently on his way and was attacked by the Thousand-Faced Beast as he left the group.

But the outfit of this mercenary's corpse just confirmed our judgment. The mercenaries who had suddenly left the camp by the lake were heading in this direction of the false temple.
