It's a tradition to gather information in a place like a tavern, but it doesn't work for us, because the team is basically full of beautiful cute girls, and if you really want to go to that kind of place, let alone inquire about the news and collect information, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Of course, Emlina can also release a terrifying aura with a "delicate body shock", or simply just kill a villain and then shock the audience, but that is too attention-grabbing.

As for what I'm going to do? I heard that the support group is no, it's just the kind of people who wave colorful flags and shout cheers in the back......

Ahem, in short, Emlina wisely chose a café-like shop that is more suitable for girls and high-ranking people with heads and faces, and it also saves a lot of things. However, it is okay to rest for a while, and it seems to be a bit difficult to find out the news. After all, there weren't many customers in this small shop, and even if they did talk, they used very low voices, and it was impossible to get any useful information.

It turned out that I was still too superficial.

When the waiter's elf girl arranged everyone at a table and ordered and was about to leave, Emilina suddenly stopped the other party: "Please wait a minute. We just arrived by boat today, can you recommend a few interesting places? Also, it would be better to tell me the location of the local library, it just so happens that there are some materials to look up. ”

Sheluf and Her Royal Highness the Princess must have worked together many times, and before the words fell, the half-elf on the other side took out two small golden metal discs and placed them on the tray in the waiter's hand. Maybe it's because of the gold coins, or maybe it's more pleasing to the eye, and the elf girl answers the blonde girl's question very cheerfully.

"Although this Festa City is not a tourist city, most of the people who come here at this time of year are just to watch the battle between the Imperial Guards and the Synths, but since this young lady is interested in the city itself, as a local, I will naturally introduce a good place. That's the central square, which may not have an attractive view, but when the synths are attacking the city, the elite Sky Knights of the Guards will gather in the square to get a close-up look at the carefully selected warriors. I've seen with my own eyes, and there are a lot of handsome guys in it, huh?"

I suddenly felt very embarrassed, because this elf probably regarded me as the servant of the group of cute girls in front of me, otherwise he would not have ignored his existence so much. But to be reasonable, I really can't refute it, so I can only silently hurt on the side.

"Aha, let's talk about it then. Emmilina hurriedly scratched her cheek and changed the subject, "What about the City Library?"

"The library is located in a very prominent location near the square, so it's easy to find. The elf girl only changed the subject when Emilina was embarrassed, so she didn't pay too much attention, "Since there is a decent fee to enter the interior, you can bring one or two retinues, and the others can use this time to find a suitable hotel near the square." Believe me, only the hotels around the square are the most comfortable and formal in the city, and the rest of the places are unofficial shops, some of which are not even registered, and are not suitable for a lady like you. ”

"Okay, I see. Emilina nodded at the other to end the conversation, "Thank you for your advice." ”

After the elf girl left, Lu Yin couldn't help but speak: "I see, Lord Shonomiya, are you planning to use the local people's library to find all kinds of information you need? This is indeed a very good idea, but what the hell is the library charging for it?"

"Well, I guess it's a way for the superior to try to control science and magic technology, and Drowlivan has had it before. Her Royal Highness shrugged her shoulders casually and said, "Let's not mention this first, it seems that we have chosen a very difficult time to enter the city." The strange creatures outside, known as synths by the locals, are expected to take the initiative to attack the city in the near future, so let's go to the library to find out what these things are all about. In addition, the locals are too nervous, and such a big thing as a monster siege has become an activity to promote tourism. ”

It's true.,The elf waiter talks about monster sieges as if he's introducing a beer festival to tourists.,As my hometown city is often passed by by all kinds of small monsters, I can't understand this.。

Victoria pouted lightly and took over the conversation: "I guess it's because those monsters outside have never been able to threaten the city that the citizens are so relaxed, and the city has obviously existed for a long time, if the monsters could really break through the city gate, this place would have been wiped out a long time ago." Since the locals live so comfortably, they must have been used to dealing with monster attacks. It's just a tourist activity or something, and I always feel like something about that......"

"We don't have to worry about what they think, we just need to do our own thing. Emmilina looked at the elf girl who led the two attendants to push the dining cart to this side, and said very indifferently, "Wait for me and Victoria to go to the library, and Siluf, you can take everyone to find the hotel." ”

"OK, leave it to me. ”

――――――――――――――――――I'm the dividing line in the tea tasting――――――――――――――――――

As a veteran driver, Shiluf managed to find a decent hotel. You must know that there are a lot of tourists in the city today, and the business of each hotel is very good, but the half-elf is stunned to get a few rooms connected to us for our group. Of course, Billy and I, who were picked up by my friends, couldn't enjoy the treatment of living with a cute girl, so don't even think about it.

As the waiter's elf girl said, there is really no scenery to see here in the central square, and there is nothing interesting here, only the bronze sculpture of the hero on the square who doesn't know which hero is a bit interesting.

As for the rest of the city, I can only say that it is full of factories, barracks, and military installations, and it is a fortress city in the truest sense of the word. Maybe this is the front line of the locals' resistance to synths, so it's no surprise that this is the case. So the question is back to square one, what exactly are these things called synths?

Emilina and Victoria did not return to the hotel for lunch, they both soaked in the library until the afternoon sunset finally returned.

Her Royal Highness gathered the group into the room that Siluf had arranged for her and Victoria, and then began to convey the information they had gathered in the library. Seriously, I've been mentally prepared for all sorts of things, and I've thought of all sorts of possibilities, such as the Synth being a biological weapon made by the locals and accidentally going wild, but the truth is shocking.

After making herself a cup of tea, Emilina spoke to everyone slowly, "First of all, those monsters that the locals call synthesizers are not biological weapons, and certainly not naturally grown animals. It is essentially an artificial germ that was originally intended to treat diseases, but later produced some unknown mutations that made it a parasitic organism and capable of greatly modifying the host's body - at least that's what the literature says, but I think the local hierarchy must know something inside, but it's not time to get to the bottom of it. ”

Lu Yin suddenly clenched her fist in her chest and put on an extremely excited expression: "I know, I know, there must be a lot of conspiracies in this. For example, when a high-level boss plans to use this thing to cure a disease, the political enemy does something in it and tries to kill the former, but there is an accident or something, and similar plots often appear in various works. ”

"Conspiracy theories have a market wherever they are. The blonde girl casually struck a knife on the top of the double ponytail's head, allowing the latter to hold her head and squat to defend herself before continuing to say the truth, "No matter what the specific reason for the appearance of the germ is, in short, it has swept the world in a short period of time with its unique super vitality, infectious power and amazing transmission speed of the germ. Originally, humans and other races did not have a good way to curb this synthetic beast, and even the soldiers who fought against it would be infected into monsters after dying in battle, so it can be said that everyone was desperate at that time, but in the end, there was a benevolent brother who found a way to restrain the germs, which saved the civilization of all races. ”

I can't help but think of the bronze statue in the square, and the human beings with the spirit of Xiaoqiang still appeared as heroes at critical moments.

Victoria, who is an expert in magic equipment, followed up and took over the conversation: "The method of restraint is currently only known to be a very complex magic array, but fortunately it is not very large, it can be set on various weapons and even individual armor, and the effect is to completely eliminate the erosion of germs on the body." Her Royal Highness the Princess also said earlier that the most terrifying thing about germs is that they can invade the body and transform the host, and the combat effectiveness of synthetic beasts is secondary, and only by ensuring that combat soldiers are not affected by germs, can the locals continue to fight. Although there is a record in the book of what the magic array looks like, the time is too short for me to understand for the time being, and the book is not allowed to be brought out, so I can only go back tomorrow. ”

"It's okay, just figure out what synths are and how much harm they cause, we're targeting the Abyss, and these mutated creatures are the locals' own problem. Emmilina waved her hand lightly and gestured to Victoria, "In addition, we have learned that this time the human empire is finally planning to leave the protection of the city walls and send an army to try to regain the lost territory, starting from this city of Festa, several military warships have arrived with soldiers and equipment in the past two days. I can't imagine the look on these hapless creatures when they finally defeat the synths and then encounter the abyss, it's really pitiful. ”

It is only natural that the Abyss will choose this plane to attack, after all, the strength of the locals is very weak. If the locals secretly stabbed them in the back when they started a counterattack, the Abyss would easily be able to take them and those synths, and they wouldn't even need to blatantly grab territory everywhere, they could do it with the troops they brought.

I couldn't help but feel a little nervous about this: "Emilina, should we remind the locals anonymously? Maybe it's also a good way to let Sister Zi show her face as a god, she should be very good at these. ”

"Although Sister Zi is not here now, are you sure that she is really a big husband behind her back?" Her Royal Highness shook her head with a smile and denied, "Before the abyss takes the initiative to show up, we'd better not mention this matter to the locals, no one will easily believe it." And most of the information about synthetic beasts is vague and ambiguous, and it is estimated that the locals have not fully figured out each other, leaving this huge threat and going straight to the trouble of an alien race that God knows if it exists, would you do it?"

If it weren't for Her Royal Highness the Princess's gorgeous magic to blind her kryptonite dog eyes, I guess I wouldn't have believed that there would be such a loving profession as horse monkey shochu in reality.

"OK, when I didn't say it. So do you have any good advice, we can't just watch the show from the sidelines, right?"

"Well, yes, we should be watching the show next to us. Emilina took a casual sip of tea and said indifferently, "Don't look at me with that strange look, Zhou Yi." I also want to solve the abyss as soon as possible, but the problem is that the locals don't know how dangerous the other side is, not to mention the huge trouble they themselves are facing. If you act casually, you will only be invited back for tea by the relevant departments, so it is wiser to hide in the dark and watch the development of things in comparison. As long as we jump out to stop the Abyss or Synths crush the natives' armies at the critical moment, whatever we say will be much more credible at that point. ”

Senior Sister Lan Yu couldn't help but tilt her head to show a worried expression: "Wouldn't the local army's army be very dangerous then?"

Her Royal Highness the Princess bowed her head slightly and affirmed: "It is indeed dangerous, because I am simply risking and using their army as bait, in case of a careless mistake, it will really make things irreparable." But it's better to do this than to jump to the front of the stage ourselves, after all, in front of the stage you attract not only attention, but also firepower. Let's not forget that the abyss is still hiding in the shadows, and who knows what they're going to do next?"

It is not good to not receive any support, and we must carefully consider the consequences and countermeasures in everything we do. It seems that only after the locals have fought the synths will we have a chance to make further plans.
