Chapter 164: The Plan
"Lu Yi?" Saman waved his hand in front of him.
Lu Yi came back to his senses and asked, "Sorry, what did you just say?"
A few days ago, he was in the perspective of the Rand vest, and was stunned by the paper iris.
Lu Yi really didn't expect that the supreme Pope of the Holy See was actually Mios's man.
This is simply too absurd and unbelievable.
When Mios mentioned Iris, Lu Yi even considered the two brothers Gungud, but he didn't expect the final result to be so nuclear.
It was to the extent that as soon as this thought popped into his mind, it would be immediately shattered.
Although some of Callisto's previous actions made Lu Yi suspicious, his suspicion from the beginning to the end was not about such explosive things as whether Callisto had colluded with the Dark God!
Who could have expected that Callisto would throw a royal bomb at him without any hesitation.
【Callisto=Iris】
As soon as he equated Iris with Callisto, the first thought that flashed through Lu Yi's mind was: Could it be that Callisto also wanted to stab Mios in the back and be in Cao's camp but his heart was with Han?
But a brief encounter with Iris made him hesitate again.
He couldn't see through Callisto.
Callisto is a calm sea, with countless turbulent waves hidden in the dark. No matter which one-sided information and cognition is obtained, it is not enough to support Lu Yi to assert anything.
He could only pray that Callisto was on the side of the good guys, otherwise things would become much more difficult.
After all, in the camp of the God of Light, the real lord Chaos had died many years ago, and Ares, who took the blame, did not seem to be a reliable and upright god.
The situation inside the Church of Light is even more outrageous. It is unknown how long His Holiness the Pope has been instigated to rebel, and the newly appointed Holy Son of Light also holds the title of Holy Son of Darkness.
From this perspective, the future of the light camp is extremely bleak.
Lu Yi closed his eyes and pinched his nose.
Callisto, is he good or evil?
[Based on my experience, the role of the Pope is usually not a good thing! ] 857 boldly speculated.
[“If your experience refers to novels, then you can just shut up.”] Lu Yi said mercilessly.
【嘤.】857 left the stage in dismay.
All of Lu Yi's speculations were just fantasies before he actually met Callisto. He packed up all his questions and waited calmly for the meeting with Callisto.
As a result, after Callisto sent this letter, there was no further movement.
Callisto did not move, and Lu Yi also did not speak. He only switched the perspective every other day to check if there was any unusual movement on Lant's side.
Nothing happened for a few days, so Lu Yi could only turn his focus back to the main perspective that was about to go to the Elf Forest.
As for Braceside, Lu Yi had already discussed with Saman yesterday that they would set off in three days at the latest.
Saman shook his head and said, "I didn't say anything, I just told you to pack your things. Now that we have accepted the mission, we have to prepare to set off."
"Although it is best to prepare something in advance, there is very little information about elves, and there is no trace of the elves in modern times. We have no way of knowing what the situation is like within their tribe. We can only act according to circumstances."
The Elf Forest is located in the western part of the Isaiah continent, and it takes at least seven or eight days to get there from Braceside.
Although Lu Yi and Saman were both born into noble families, fortunately, neither of them cared about the material conditions of the journey. After leading the horses, the two set off towards the Elf Forest neatly.
…
…
Rantgarner, Sangmai Tavern.
The aroma and heat of rough ale filled the narrow and crowded space, and the noisy voices were mixed with dialects and slang from all over the world.
The crowd was pushing and laughing, and the drunkard was mumbling arrogant words that no one could hear.
The bagpipes and accordion played passionate and cheerful folk tunes tirelessly, and on the only empty table in the tavern, a girl with thick eyebrows and red lips sang along from time to time.
"Amorme, por favor..."
"It's a good thing, it's a good thing..."
"This is the Tanzanian red wine you ordered, please enjoy it slowly~"
The half-orc girl with bunny ears in a short skirt smiled charmingly and dealt with the difficult strong man with ease. After putting down a large pot of fermented rice wine steadily, she slid away from the crowd like a loach.
The guest didn't get any advantage, so he cursed a few words and turned around to continue fantasizing about the elves with his companions.
This seemingly ordinary Sandwich Tavern has always been popular due to the rumor that "the boss seems to be an elf".
Even though the rumors had long been proven to be fabricated by the boss to create hype, the Sandwich Tavern still managed to get the reputation of the elves and became a must-visit place for many travelers and adventurers who came to the Elf Forest.
It doesn't matter whether the rumor is true or false, as long as the anecdote is vivid and moving enough.
After all, a pot of ale for one copper coin is really cheap, and it can be said to be the most cost-effective among all the taverns in Langtgana.
At the small square table in the corner, four men calmly took in the entire scene in the tavern.
The bald man had almost finished the wheat beer in his glass. He shook the empty glass and asked doubtfully, "Can we really get news about the elves here? No matter how I look at it, that rumor doesn't seem to be reliable!"
It is well known that the elves are reclusive. Even Baldy couldn't understand why anyone would buy into such obviously nonsense rumors in the Sangmai Tavern.
Seeing that the man with glasses seemed to have something to say, Zorn glanced at the fox beside him. The fox understood what he meant immediately and flipped his palm to build an invisible soundproof barrier.
The man with glasses said, "The rumor is true."
The bald man choked on his own saliva, looked up at him in shock and said, "Huh? Is it true?! Is this true?!"
"I've said it's true, how could it be false?" The man with glasses expressed disdain for the bald man's questioning.
"Are you an elf or am I an elf?"
The bald man also realized that the question was not well-posed, and immediately said with a smile: "Haha, look at me, sometimes my mouth really doesn't think clearly..."
He touched his bald head and said with emotion: "Maybe my brain is cold."
The fox laughed at him: "Brain? I thought you didn't have that thing at all!"
"Your insults are really nasty. Why don't you just change your code name to Viper?" The bald man curled his lips. "Let's talk business. Who could have thought that such an outrageous rumor was actually true? Those who foolishly believed it actually found out the truth!"
"True and false, real and unreal, this is the effect they want." Zorn tapped the small table beside him.
"It's just that I'm a little surprised that the elves are connected to the human race."
The vast majority of elves look down on humans, and it is no exaggeration to say that they are arrogant.
The man with glasses shook his head and explained, "Strictly speaking, there is no connection."
"The White Elves who are in the dominant position look down on even the Black Elves, so how could they condescend to contact these humans?
"It's likely that he is just holding the tavern owner's life in his hands and using him as a useful tool."
"Then why are we still here?" asked the bald man.
The fox narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Are you related to him?"
The man with glasses nodded and explained simply, "It can be said that I saved his life by accident. Although I can't let him do anything important for us, at least he can provide us with the latest map."
"The latest map? Is the Elf Forest still moving?" the bald man asked curiously.
"No, the fog covering the Elven Forest is moving. If you accidentally enter the fog in some areas, you will definitely die, so we must get an up-to-date map."
The bald man suddenly realized, "I see, that's why. It is indeed necessary. Our operation this time depends on you to make a good start!"
"Don't worry."
"Do you need us to accompany you to see the tavern owner?" Zorn asked.
"No, he might back off if there are too many people."
"and you--"
"Don't be so shameless!"
A sudden sound from the front interrupted Zorn's words, and several people raised their eyes to look at the place where the sound came from.
The person who spoke was a man with a scar on his face. He was glaring fiercely at another man who had fallen to the ground.
He kept cursing with vulgar and obscene words, holding the man down with one hand and clenching his other fist to hit him on the head.
"Fuck you, you ungrateful bitch! I'm giving you face by touching you! What are you pretending for? Huh? If you're a prostitute, don't be picky, understand?!"
The man he pushed down had long hair scattered behind him and a soft figure. At first glance, it was difficult to tell whether he was a male or a female.
He lowered his head, with the hair around his ears covering his cheeks, and his whole body exuded an aura of being pitiful, weak, and in desperate need of help.
"That's a white elf." The man with glasses frowned.
White elf?
Are there such weak guys among the elves?
Zorn raised an eyebrow.
"Z, should we intervene?" That's a light elf! The bald man said eagerly.
Zorn stared at the white elf and said, "Wait a little longer."
At this time, a white elf jumped out, and it seemed like there was something fishy going on.
I just don’t know whether the target of this game is these uninvited guests.
Zorn glanced at the man with glasses and said, "Go find the tavern owner now. If you can get the latest map successfully, we won't interfere in this matter."
"Okay." The man with glasses responded and moved quickly towards the bar against the crowd.
"stop!"
A familiar voice sounded, and a handsome man with blond hair and blue eyes broke through the crowd. He raised his hand to condense magic power and easily knocked the burly man away.
Why is Lu Yi here? !
Zorn's pupils trembled, and he quickly pulled out a mask from his space ring and covered his face.
The bald man and the fox were attracted by Zorn's sudden and hasty behavior and looked at him in confusion.
"Old Z, what's wrong with you?"
"Shut up!" Zorn shouted in a low voice.
"…Call me Viper."
