72. A Frenchman
Hearing Fisher's words, Mikhail frowned and nodded, as if he understood what Fisher meant, but Tang Ze Asuka looked at Fisher for a while and looked at Mikhail for a while, and when he saw that they didn't open his mouth anymore, he couldn't help but purse his lips, and then cautiously reached out and pulled Fisher's sleeve, and whispered,
"That, me. I don't understand what that means. Are we traveling back in time? ”
Fisher glanced at her, then shook his head and explained,
"No, we are still in the Peach Father's Barrier, which simulates the shadow of the past and generates real feedback to the entrant, and Peach Gong hopes to find the traitor who should be in harmony with the outside world. But the shadow of fate of Jianmu Palace should have been covered by the person who transferred before, so Tao Gong couldn't see anything. But now, the shadows that have been obscured have taken on their true appearance, but since they were previously obscured, they have not yet reacted to us.
"So, the hook kiss that was originally knocked unconscious and thrown into the sea by us in the peach gong enchantment now appears in front of us again. And the real hook kiss is still outside, in the shadow of fate that has had feedback with us. Nothing is done here that affects reality, and traveling back in time is not an easy thing to do, and other methods are needed. What we can do now is find the traitor here, and by the way, it's best to figure out where the lost World Tree tears went. ”
Tang Ze Asuka opened her mouth when she listened, and then said in surprise,
"Can you still travel back in time?!"
Fisher paused for a moment, then said perfunctorily,
"Well, since this shadow of fate hasn't interacted with us, we're equated with a sudden appearance here. The Elf King is a nineteenth-order existence, although it seems that Bai Hou was very careful when he entered the Jianmu Palace just now, and he didn't dare to explore the surroundings at will, otherwise we would have been discovered just now. ”
Mikhail also stood up in the grass, looked around, and asked,
"This is where the elven king lives, and there should be different functional divisions, but according to the habits of the elves, the more you go inside, the more important it should be. The person who transferred is most likely in the depths of this palace, and it just so happens that we can find the person who transferred when we go to see the elf king while we are hooking the kiss. ”
"Well, that's all there is to it."
Fisher thought so before, at present, only a few of them who didn't know anything about Jianmu Palace came in, but Hook Kiss didn't come in, he knew that he had been forced to pull him in at the beginning, and he could lead the way more.
It's just that now Fisher doesn't dare to bet on whether the shadow of fate that has produced interaction or no interaction when he goes out of the spatial crack here, in case there is no interaction, they are estimated to be immediately discovered by the three-legged golden birdman who approached them just now.
In order to increase efficiency, Mikhail sacrificed his old friend nanobots, so that he could search for any suspicious object in the Jianmu Palace to the greatest extent.
Just as Mikhail was arranging the robot, Asuka Karazawa, who was standing next to him, glanced at the quiet and magnificent buildings around him, and couldn't help but wonder,
"It's big here, but there don't seem to be many people, doesn't the Elf King need others to serve him if he's so noble? Obviously, there were a lot of servants on the guest wood before. ”
"Who knows, it's possible that the Elf King doesn't like others to serve him"
Mikhail answered, and Fisher, who was next to him, looked at the quiet, as if there was no one else in the Jianmu Palace except for the subhuman race who led the way with a fox face just now, and suddenly said,
"It's also possible that he doesn't want people to come in too often for a particular purpose."
An illusory interface flickered in front of Mikhail's eyes, and after a while he looked in a certain direction and said to Fisher,
"Hook Kiss them in that direction, and those two fox-faced subspecies, the Elven King should be there too. I didn't manipulate the robot to go in just to be on the safe side, but it was only the front hall of the Wooden Palace, and it was the place in front of the Wooden Palace. There was no one in the rest of the place, so the person who had been transferred should be in the area behind the front hall. ”
"Well, let's go check it out."
Fisher touched his chin, and had a rough estimate of the state of the elf king in his heart, the state of the elf king should not be very optimistic, at least far inferior to other mythical species of the nineteenth order.
It's no wonder that he is almost at the end of his life, and Fisher understands the feeling of being chased by death, so he doesn't even notice the robot that Mikhail is in charge of monitoring.
In this way, the probability of them infiltrating is greatly increased.
Fisher immediately decided to do what he said, and asked Mikhail to point out a path that would lead to the apse, and they immediately set out along the road.
In fact, Jianmu Palace is a very huge building complex, and they walked for almost half an hour just from the spatial rift to the boundary between the so-called front hall and the back hall.
And along the way, Fisher discovers a lot of odd situations.
Along the way, he saw many side halls and small rooms that seemed to have been vacant for a long time, and there were many messy and improperly organized beds and belongings, which looked like places that had once been inhabited.
Fisher felt that it was most likely the servants who had lived here before, and that the rest of the officials and elves would most likely not live in such a cramped small room.
So, if there were people in the Jianmu Palace who were once served, just like in the Kemu, where have they gone now?
The surroundings were frighteningly quiet, the sun was shining on the inside of the space, and the huge World Tree phantom could be seen when he looked up, but Tang Ze Asuka didn't have a sense of security at all, and only felt that the neighborhood was eerie and scary.
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trying to keep up with Fisher in front of her, but she didn't expect to hit his head on his broad back, making her hold her forehead and take a step back,
"Mr. Fisher, I'm sorry, huh?"
She looked up in confusion, only to see a figure they knew very well in the corridor of the building in front of Fisher and Mikhail.
The figure had long black hair, often with a gentle smile, but at the moment it seemed a little nervous and anxious, and kept looking around, like Fisher and them, walking in the direction of the apse of the Jianmu Palace, and the next second, his eyes suddenly collided with the three of Fisher.
It was an elven species they'd ever seen, Tsubaki.
On both sides of the corridor, Tsubaki, who was alone, and Fisher, who was traveling together, froze all of a sudden, and they glanced at each other and froze in place at the same time.
Fisher frowned and protected Asuka Tang Ze behind him, and Mikhail also vigilantly pinched the mechanical arm in his right hand, but Tsubaki glanced up and down at them, and the vigilance in his eyes retreated a little, revealing a little unclear and anxious,
"You guys. . . Is it also the one who the king left with him? ”
His voice was as warm as jade, which was easy to reassure, but Fisher was keenly aware that he was looking at Tang Ze Asuka who was hiding behind him, but when Tang Ze Asuka poked his head out, he was slightly stunned and retracted his gaze in disappointment.
Also?
Fisher was silent for a moment, then suddenly looked around, pretending to be vigilant and cautiously asked,
"Who are you? Why is it here? ”
"Don't be afraid, I'm not hostile to you."
Hearing that Fisher acquiesced that he was the transfer person raised by the Elf King, Tsubaki immediately waved his hand and explained,
"But when I was waiting before I met the king, I saw your companions in the front hall. She begged me to save her, but when the king came up she fled in a panic. I don't know what the king left you for, but. Maybe I can help you? ”
Sure enough, Tsubaki in front of him met the person who had transferred.
If you guessed correctly.
Tsubaki is the traitor who should be in harmony with the transferred person.
But Tsubaki's question did make Fisher a little curious, why did the Elf King keep the transferred person by his side, what happened in the empty Jianmu Palace, and why they stole the teardrops of the World Tree.
Thinking of this, the vigilant expression on Fisher's face naturally converged little by little, as if he had a little trust in the elf in front of him, and Mikhail, who was not smiling, was stunned when he saw Fisher's performance coming and going freely,
"So that's the case, but she is now in the apse where the king lives, you are an elf, aren't you afraid of trespassing by sneaking into the king's apse like this?"
Tsubaki was slightly stunned, and then said with a wry smile,
"I'm afraid that in the eyes of the king, an elf like me who neglects to make offerings can be regarded as trespassing. I just don't understand the point of such a slave offering. Just for the sake of the numbers on the books, is it worth taking the fresh lives as items and sending them here thousands of miles away? ”
Fisher was silent for a moment, walked ahead as if he was familiar with the road, and walked towards the apse on his own, and said in passing,
"In that case, please come in with us. But unfortunately, we also sneaked out today, and we didn't have a chance to come out during the search for the sun, so don't expect us to show you the way. ”
Tsubaki glanced at Asuka Karasawa, who was hiding cautiously behind Fisher, and became more and more convinced of their identity.
I saw him take a breath rather nervously, and then he followed Fisher, who was walking in front, and walked with them into the apse where the Elven King lived and lived.
Like the front hall, the environment here is still very desolate, although the elves do not prune the weeds that grow because of their admiration for nature, and generally speaking, the elven buildings are mixed with plants and ornaments, but the desolation here comes from a strange silence and inactivity lifelessness.
Tsubaki looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help frowning,
"It shouldn't have been like this before. When I came to make offerings, there were a lot of servants and attendants, and there was also a music group that showed singing and dancing for everyone. ”
As they went deeper, some strange pieces of paper gradually appeared in Fisher's eyes, covering the ground like garbage, but with black writing written on them, and Fisher looked up to see that the words on them were strange, which he had never seen before, but which were somewhat similar to those written by Caleb Uzi
Tsubaki squatted down and picked up a piece of white paper full of wrinkles, and the words on it made him confused.
"It's not our language, is it your language?"
Mikhail glanced at the text, and the prosthetic eye of the microcomputer twitched, and he quickly understood the meaning.
I saw that the paper was written in rows of beautiful handwriting,
"Two hearts competed to drain the residual heat and turned them into two great torches; The two souls form a pair of mirrors, and the double light shines in the mirror. ”
Mikhail muttered,
"The Flowers of Evil, French"
"French?"
Tsub and Fisher turned their heads to look at him at the same time, but Mikhail glanced at Fisher in a daze, and then said rather unnaturally,
"Well, it's us. The words left by the companions are the language of their place. ”
"I see."
Tsubaki thought so much that he didn't ask more, but Mikhail put down the paper in his hand and lifted another piece of paper, but suddenly he found something else worth noting.
Most of these papers are filled with a variety of verses, some of which Mikhail recognizes, and some of which Mikhail does not know if they are original or not, if they search the computer.
It is worth noting that although the handwriting of these verses is the same, there are not only French but also German.
In other words, the transferee can speak both French and German?
As he walked forward, Mikhail quietly told Fisher and Asuka Karasawa about this discovery, and Asuka Karasawa felt very curious and hurriedly asked in a whisper,
"In other words, it is possible that the person who transferred this transfer is French or German?"
"No, it's probably French. She didn't write German as naturally as French, and she probably learned it the day after tomorrow. ”
Mikhail analyzed it well, and Fisher silently kept the matter in his heart.
In this huge backyard, they walked for almost ten minutes, and they didn't even see a living thing, according to the report of the robot that Mikhail sent to explore the way ahead, this place was surprisingly large, but they didn't see a living thing except for the paper they had just seen on the ground.
There were no living things in the empty Jianmu Palace, only all kinds of exquisite decorations and objects, the patterns on those items were different, but they all had the same imprint, and the sign composed of three petals of different shapes was painted on it, and it was not clear whether it represented the Jianmu Palace or the Elf King.
"Well, do you smell any blood?"
At this moment, Tsubaki, who was walking in front, shrugged his nose and suddenly spoke.
The few of them stopped in front of a building, which was different from the desolate building before, except for the two lanterns hanging in front of the crimson building, which seemed to indicate to everyone that there were people living here.
As Tsubaki spoke, Fisher frowned slightly, looking at the half-hidden building.
But I saw that in it, in the faint sparks, an extremely faint bloody aura slowly escaped.
The Flowers of Evil, a collection of poems by the 19th-century French poet Charles Pierre Baudelaire.
There will be a more haha later.
