Chapter 290: Make-up Investigation
My uncle doesn't know what the use of so many stones is, I think I'd better go back to sleep now, maybe tomorrow will be another hard battle.
The next morning, I was awakened from my sleep by the sound of crackling outside, what was I doing? I went out and took a look, and it really scared the hell out of me. There were more than a dozen stone men in the camp outside, so they didn't come to attack. I immediately reached for the dagger, but it did not vibrate, and it seemed that these people were not hostile.
"Xiaoyu, I'm just waiting for you, if you don't get up again, we're all going to go" The stone man turned out to be my uncle's voice.
I looked back and was startled again. The stone man put his hands on his head and used it to pull it up, and he pulled the whole head off.
I was shocked for a moment, only to realize that the head was actually a helmet made of stone, and my uncle's face appeared under the helmet.
"Xiaoyu, hurry up and put it on, I have prepared a set for you, we will set off as soon as you get dressed."
I didn't have time to eat a bite of food, so I put on this armor with three strikes and five divisions. I really don't know how my uncle made this armor, although the outside is made of stone, but I hardly feel the weight of wearing it. After putting on this stone helmet armor, it turned out to be really the same as those stone people, and it is estimated that it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake even if the real stone man stands next to it.
The armor is made of stone on the outside, but on the inside it is made of soft objects, and it can be worn and moved as freely as a real stone man. There's plenty of space inside the armor, too, and I didn't waste my time hiding my short sword inside. The only downside is that this thing is not breathable, and I sweat after wearing it for a while.
"The army obeyed the order, after we left, you moved to the outskirts of the stone man city, and if we were besieged in the city, you will try to rescue us. Prepare long-range weapons such as spears and crossbows, and try to avoid direct contact with the enemy. Captain of the Guard, you lead the way, let's go. ”
What, the injured captain of the guard yesterday is also among them, I looked around and didn't see which one was the captain of the guard, and the stone men around here are all the same. My uncle and they had already set off with me, so I had to give up looking for them and go with them.
Half an hour later, I could almost see the gate of Stone Man City, there were a few sentries standing guard at the gate, and people were constantly entering and exiting the city, and it seemed that the whole city was not blocked.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we change shifts every two hours in Stone Man City. Look at the time of day, someone will be changing shifts in a quarter of an hour. There is no one to defend the city gate during the shift change, so we can take the opportunity to blend into the city. ”
This one should be the captain of the guard, and the top of his body is fine, but there are a few more bag-like stones on his face, which looks very abrupt.
A quarter of an hour later, a few of us were ready to enter the city. But when they arrived at the gate of the city, they found that the group of guards just now had not left, and continued to check the passing stone men there.
"General, this place is tightly guarded, let's disperse into the city, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered." I really couldn't recognize which one was my uncle, so I could only rely on my voice to discern the general direction.
"Okay, just listen to Mr. Yu. Sir, little brother, and the captain of the guard and I are in the city. The rest of you are divided into two groups, one group of men remains near the city gates, and if there is any change, open the city gates and let the cavalry into the city. The second team followed us, keeping a distance. If we are in danger, immediately create chaos and attract the attention of the enemy. "With the task assigned, we move on.
As soon as we arrived at the door, we were stopped by a few guards, who were probably misdressed and recognized. But I don't think the guards seem to be interested in us, just staring at the captain and looking.
"Heh, I thought I had caught the captain of the guard, but it turned out that I was wrong. With so many bags on your face, you're not as handsome as the captain of the guard. Lao Tzubai was happy, let's go, hurry up. ”
It seems that my uncle deliberately put some stones on the face of the captain of the guard, but I didn't expect to get through the test. We continued to walk into the city, but it was a mess.
The walls of the city are made of hard granite, but the houses in the city are made of wood and stone. Yesterday the fire in the city was really too big, and the wood on the houses was either burned or turned into char. And the only remaining houses are basically in ruins.
The city should have been bustling, but now there are few people on the streets. The captain of the guard looked at the burned houses and sighed again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's walk through the square and get close to the palace." The captain of the guard led us to walk on the ruined wall, and I don't know what kind of mood he was in.
Soon, a huge square appeared in front of us, and by looking at the elaborate carved stone carvings next to this square, you will know how prosperous it is. However, after arriving at this square, the captain of the guard suddenly became excited. We managed to hold him down. Why he was so excited, we looked into the center of the square and understood why.
In the middle of the square, there were dozens of stone figures visiting the heads.
"These animals, I'm going to kill them, not to mention killing my brothers in the guard, I even dumped their heads here." The captain of the guard was still very excited, and we reluctantly subdued him.
"Calm down, the most important thing now is to rescue the Stone Man King, otherwise these brothers of yours will all die in vain." My uncle persuaded him a few words, and he gave up the idea of going directly to the enemy to fight hard.
"Captain of the guard, we have to scratch our tongues now so that we can know the whereabouts of the king, and you see where we can start." The captain of the guard thought for a while before giving me the answer.
"We stone men feed on rocks, and every day the dining room brings food collected from all over the world to the palace to eat. The dining room was near the storehouse where the stones were stored, but it was not in the king's house. We can go to the dining room and have a look, we have to be able to get the news and get into the palace. "The captain of the guard is a good idea, and we will follow him to the dining room at once.
After walking for a while, we came to the front of two buildings, one of the larger ones should be the warehouse, and the smaller one was the dining room. The guards here were really lax, and we easily made it to the perimeter. We hid and watched the situation, and there were more than a dozen stone figures working on something, some of them seemed to be making a barbecue, and some of them seemed to be cooking something in a pot.
This is strange to me, when he ate stones for the captain of the guard yesterday, he ate them directly, why does this dining room have to fry and fry the stone feast.
"I said Captain of the Guard, do you still want to fry and fry stones in Shiren City?" The captain of the guard shook his head.
"Naturally, we don't need it, and the king eats the stones directly, just wash them. The behavior of these people in this dining room is indeed strange, let's go and take a look. ”
After making sure that there were no enemies around, we decided to go into the dining room and have a look. But before I got to the dining room, I saw chicken feathers, animal skins, and dirty blood all over the place.
