The next day, Xin Wu lost track of Olena.
Then news came from the temple ruins, confirming the "visit" of the island
ambassador.
Until dawn broke in the sky, Olena did not return to the Privy Council.
Simultaneously with the dawn, there was also a four-page report back to back.
"Master Xia, please forgive me for her dereliction of duty. We have watched a
lot and we have not been able to find out how she arrived at Qingguan Temple.
However, as you said, she searched for a long time in the basement under the
temple, obviously for "mysterious things". "Go. According to post-event
statistics, the other party destroyed fifteen traps and smashed six stone
gates during this period. Our spies heard a total of four explosions."
"I have to say, this strategy of yours is simply--" There are traces of ink
crossed out here, "It is extremely hot. As the "former experimental base" of
the Privy Council, it is full of institutions, explosives and poisons. It’s a
normal thing. It’s a pity that the false arson only won one day, otherwise my
colleagues can do better.”
"In the outskirts of no one, Olena Okan's actions were obviously relaxed. This
also made her no longer cautious. The number of organs that were triggered far
exceeded the standards of the alchemist's assessment. It was almost the moment
when she was Leaving the temple area, the spies noticed that her condition was
very embarrassing. The explosion broke her ambassador's robe into strips of
cloth and covered her body with dust."
"Unfortunately, Olena's anti-strike ability is higher than I expected. So many
explosions have not even restricted her actions. Could it be that she is Genus
or Zeus? But one thing is certain, her face Full of fatigue."
"Your suggestion is to use a lot of organs to consume her energy and stamina,
instead of using sophisticated mental problems to get the other person into
contemplation. Now it seems to be a very correct choice. Similar tasks I have
encountered before are all too strategic. Reasonability, this also leaves an
opportunity for the opponent to crack. And this is the first time I have seen
your strategy using traps and explosives as the main means of guidance."
"It's just the slogan you asked me to engrave on the wall. It's more like an
evil story that was circulated in my childhood. Can it really have a negative
impact on an adult?"
"In short, the second clue hidden in Qingguan Temple has been seized by her,
and I should prepare for the next stage."
"If you have any new ideas, please feel free to tell me."
After reading the report, Xia Fan couldn't help but think of the situation of
the island ambassador at that time.
Holding a torch and slowly advancing in the underground space of the half-
collapsed temple, her feet were covered with iron nails and tripwires, and the
beams above her head were hung with explosive gunpowder bags.
Of course, these things will not kill her-Olena Okan cannot die in such a
place that is prone to diplomatic disputes, so both the poison on the nails
and the weight of the gunpowder are controlled To the extent of causing injury
but not death.
Although she endured the pain caused by the traps all the way, but these
things continued to confirm her guess-if it were not for hidden secrets, who
would install so many defensive things in a dilapidated ruin?
When she reached the deepest room, she would naturally find that there was
already a burnt ruin. Obviously, this place had not been maintained as a new
storage location for long, and it had been destroyed.
On the surrounding walls, characters carved with blood can be seen everywhere.
"Let me go!"
"pain!"
"Stay away from this thing!"
"It... is coming!"
No matter how she might guess what happened in the room, it must not be a good
picture.
Xia Fan put down the report with a light smile.
"Quickly talk about it, what are the new clues you left?" Qianyan asked
eagerly, "Isn't it another ruin?"
"There are so many places suitable for layout near Shangyuan City. Moreover,
if the address clues are directly left, and the scene is similar to Qingguan
Temple, it is easy to attract suspicion, so I only asked them to leave a
symbol on the wall."
"What symbol?"
Xia Fan drew a hexagonal honeycomb mark in his hand.
Li's ears trembled slightly, "This is the Yongguo facility found in Houshan,
Gaoshan County."
"It's ancient alchemist language." Qianyan said directly.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't quite understand. This language is only circulated among a few
people, and Yong Wang and his men are one of them."
"Could there be such facilities around Shangyuan City?"
Xia Fan nodded, "I also found out after inquiring with Xin Wu. Not only do
they exist, but the Privy Council regards them as a suburban base. It's just
that the experimental equipment related to evil has been removed, and the
level of confidentiality is not considered. High, alchemists above the fifth
rank test can be used."
"Do you want to bring the island messengers to these facilities? But they
don't necessarily know more than the fifth-rank alchemist."
"They would think of this." Xia Fan said with confidence, "Didn't Xin Wu say
it? There have been several cases of overseas envoys spying on the information
of the Privy Council. The leaked news included the transformation of two
bronze caves. A stronghold."
Nothing is more credible than the intelligence intercepted by oneself.
When she saw the unique symbols on the wall, she would naturally associate it
with the stronghold, and it would not take her much effort to take a glance in
person.
Of course, Xia Fan will extend this process as much as possible.
He began to write letters back to Xin Wu.
Explosives and poisons have little effect?
It doesn't matter, he also has a super drugged formula here, which is
colorless and tasteless, and it is easy to smell. In the past limited
applications, it fully verified its effectiveness.
On the third night, Olena set off again.
Xin Wu mentioned in the new report that this time they not only arranged more
explosives and poison traps, but also specially arranged drug release
personnel at multiple vents.
The results are shocking.
Olena persisted to the end. But her two guard knights failed to come out with
her. The alchemists chose to continue to wait and see ~www.mtlnovel.com~ and
did not act on the knights, so as not to stun them. Until four hours later,
these two people limped and left.
Xin Wu made the assertion that Olena should have reached the limit at that
time, so he abandoned the guards and left first. At the same time, she also
took away the fake "mystery"-a square prism made of bronze and coral.
On the fourth day, neither the stalker of the Privy Council nor the center of
the recording department saw Olena.
At the same time, Xinwutong found out that the ambassador of the islands
seemed to be unwell and unable to report illness in the government.
On the fifth day, it was the same.
It's just that someone heard the sound of smashing things from the island
ambassador's mansion.
On the sixth night, Xin Wu's report finally changed.
"Master Xia, Olena Okan is coming to the Privy Council!"
