Chapter 294: Deadlocked
Eric Moussa is a smart man, but Lin Qiu knows that it is smarter to learn from his opponent's strengths, and he is also more curious, Eric, who is the same skin color as them, is going to infiltrate the kingdom of the Theopharan clan?
With this in mind, Lin Qiu and the others followed the directions marked on the map, crossed the intricate outer passages, and arrived at the border of Theopharan. It seems that after Goben-Azuk took control of the entire kingdom, the outlying exiles returned to their realm, and they infiltrated the royal city almost unimpeded.
The royal city of Theopharan was surrounded by stone steps, and the entire city was located at the lowest level.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Alyssa would have found it hard to imagine that there was such a magnificent city under the snowy fields of the north, with its towering walls in a retro style, and the architecture of the city making her feel like she was visiting the ruins of the First Demon War.
It's just that everything in front of her is intact and unspoiled.
In addition to the impressive royal city, the most eye-catching thing is the red moon in the sky.
The blood-like moonlight conveyed an ominous aura all the time, and they all understood that this was the underground a hundred meters below, and in this case, the boundless moonlight gave people a creepy feeling. However, the citizens of Theopharan do not seem to think so, and they ignore the strange full moon and go about their lives as if nothing happened.
Lin Qiu hid in the shadows and glanced at Alyssa and Phoenix.
- Okay, let's see what tricks Eric used to infiltrate this heavily guarded city.
What does a brilliant man do when he is confronted with such a spectacle?
The answer is......
"Did you hear that?
"Isn't he sent to prison?"
"Well, the latest news, His Majesty the King will personally judge him in the evening. ”
"Anyway, that kid is dead, God knows how he found here, but like the bard who came here by mistake before, the king will never let them go!"
"Oh, you're talking about the bard, right? I'm afraid he's rotting in the dungeon, right?"
With that, the two looked at each other and smiled.
The above content is from the conversation between the two guards, Lin Qiu is very grateful to this magical country and the guards who are like long-tongued women, maybe these people are too idle in their work, so that every time he listens behind the wall for a while, these people will take the initiative to share recent current events with him in the form of dialogue.
In addition to thanking, Lin Qiu's face darkened.
He really overestimated Eric Moussa, this kid didn't want to sneak into the city to gather strength to start a war with Goeben, he had already been a prisoner less than a day after he arrived - he knew how the other party had "cleverly" infiltrated the city.
"How is it?" Alyssa asked when she saw Lin Qiu climb down from the city wall with stiff movements.
"It's cold. Lin Qiu hung his head.
"What's cold?"
"Eric is cold. He described Eric's situation in short words.
You don't have to think about it to know that there are only two endings that await Eric, one is to be directly executed by Goeben-Azuk, and the other is to be locked up in a dungeon and wait for death like the bard before him. Given that Eric and Sindora were in a state of rupture, and that Theopharan had just completed the change of kingship and was in power by a radical man, Lin Qiu speculated that the first possibility was slightly more likely.
So "It's Cool" vividly shows the future that Eric is facing.
But Phoenix didn't understand such a subtle description, and she asked, "You mean Eric has a cold? Really, it's like this!"
The three of them prostrate themselves and hid under the city wall and were silent for a long time.
"What now?" asked Alyssa again.
"It looks like we're going to have to go with Plan B. Lin Qiu's face was solemn.
"Plan B is ......"
"I haven't figured it out yet. ”
Eric's arrest was also a bolt from the blue for Lin Qiu, and it seemed that Eric's ingenuity could no longer play a role in facing the problem of skin color and even different species. Usually according to the laws of RPGs, when you arrive at a new place, you can automatically get important information as long as you are in front of you, such as an inn or bar, and if you are lucky, you may even be able to open powerful weapons and large blood vials from other people's chests.
However, Theopharan is clearly not a town in the traditional sense, and the prestige of the three of them should be hostile here at the moment, and the bartender will not only not receive them, but will send them to the dungeon like Eric.
What's worse is that there are no key items like "Invisibility Cloak" and "Vanishing Mist" in this world.
Phoenix quickly disagreed: "If it's 'Vanishing Spray', there should be!"
"You?" Lin Qiu couldn't believe it.
"Don't underestimate me! The so-called 'Vanishing Spray' refers to the spray that can make others disappear by squirting at them!
"You're talking about 'Murder Spray'. Lin Qiu's face was expressionless: "Until I think of a way to deal with it, you will stay here honestly for me!"
"If you just sneak into the city, you can still do it. Alyssa said after taking a look at the terrain.
Although the city of Theopharan looked very prosperous, it was not densely populated, and the divisions of the guards on the walls were extremely scattered, and it was easy for them to avoid these guards. The real problem is what happens when they infiltrate the city, and if they want to stay out of sight, they have to stay away from the crowds, especially in densely populated areas like taverns.
"There you go. ”
Lin Qiu slapped his head and said, "Let's sneak in first, and then let Phoenix sneak into the tavern in the form of a fledgling to investigate the information, so that nothing goes wrong!"
"That's not right...... I've always felt that something is wrong with your plan. Phoenix suddenly had a bad feeling.
"What's the matter? It's normal for the jovial atmosphere of the tavern to attract a fledgling occasionally, right?"
"Liar!"
With Phoenix's knowledge of flying monsters, she never knew that there were monsters that liked alcohol. She dared to pack a ticket Lin Qiu was in the shade of her - this guy's expression already said it all!
"No. This time, Alyssa also sided with Phoenix: "Ordinary citizens should not be able to know about the existence of such a secret as the location of the instrument, and even if Phoenix succeeds in sneaking in, he will not be able to hear any useful news." ”
No matter how broken the guests' mouths were, it was impossible to discuss things they didn't know.
"Don't underestimate the uncle in the tavern! every uncle is a jack of all trades!"
"Plan C, if you think about Plan C, I will never agree to this plan!" Phoenix stretched out his hand in front of Lin Qiu, completely rejecting the plan he came up with with a slap of his head.
