Chapter 869: Intelligence of the Underground City

Meanwhile on this side.

After Lan Qingyou and the others leisurely spent more than two days.

They finally managed to arrive at the periphery of the Wailing Marsh right when the sun was about to set.

Of course, saying it was leisurely was also relative to Lan Qingyou and Elisa's flying.

Arriving in more than two days could already be considered the result of a rapid march.

Didn't you see besides the accustomed Knight Order members, everyone else was there panting heavily.

"You two, it will be dark soon, should we rest a bit and go directly down or wait until tomorrow?"

After arriving at the place, Horn dismounted and walked to the front of the Aureolus Family's carriage.

After all, his own Knight Order had all come.

It was just that this time he was also only serving as a 'foil'.

After all, there were these two great deities in front of him present.

He, and even his Knight Order, were nothing more than coming to go through the motions.

Or rather, he himself also belonged to a link in the Old Emperor's supervision.

Before going out he had received the Old Emperor's secret order.

And also knew what one of the reasons for letting the two Title Holders come here this time was.

However there was one point, that was these two people were indeed also two of the most suitable candidates for this investigation.

So that's why the Old Emperor thought of the two of them at the first instant.

And then there was the probing.

"Let's forget it for today, everyone rest a bit, wait until tomorrow to enter."

Because they had already arrived at the edge of the Wailing Marsh, going further in they could reach the entrance of the Underground City.

So neither Lan Qingyou nor Elisa had the thought of wanting to advance a step further.

Although as far as the underground environment was concerned, there was no difference between day and night.

But those logistics people and scholars also needed to rest a bit after forced marching for such a long time.

After all, Lan Qingyou and Elisa weren't any demons either.

Thus Horn immediately ordered to rest after receiving the orders from the two 'commanding officers'.

This place originally was exactly a temporary camp built up by the people of the two Knight Orders, Bird of Paradise and Flamingo.

So there were people from both Knight Orders.

It would be better to say since dispatching a few teams of people down who all went missing a few days ago, no one had gone down again.

Knowing it was death.

Then there was no need to let soldiers go down and send themselves to death.

After all, soldiers' lives are also lives.

...

"Commander Horn, our Commander asks you to go to the main tent for a bit to discuss matters."

On this side Horn had just arranged the matters of arriving here.

On that side a soldier ran over.

Looking at the other party's armor style and color, it very obviously wasn't a person from the Flamingo Knights Lan Qingyou was familiar with.

Then it could only be the other one, Bird of Paradise.

"Is that so, then let's go, do you two want to go together?"

Horn nodded expressing he understood, then turned his head and looked at the two who just got off the carriage behind him.

"Let's go, see what the situation is."

After all, it was the person commanding the search here.

Compared to them who just arrived, he definitely knew more.

Of course, the main thing was still wanting to understand their 'work content' earlier.

...

The central army main tent was different from those ordinary tents beside it.

Because it was a place used for discussing matters, it was quite a bit larger.

And there weren't any other messy things, just a table in the middle, and on the table was placed a map.

Mmm...

Saying it was a map was a bit overdoing it.

Actually it was just a temporarily drawn sketch.

What was recorded on the drawing was of course some already explored areas regarding the Underground City.

Because Lan Qingyou was floating, her viewing angle was higher than everyone else's.

With one glance she saw the interesting part on this drawing.

To put it simply, this drawing had routes like blood vessels all around it, but only the middle was a piece of blank space.

That is to say, during these days the Knight Orders had already explored the vast majority of the roads surrounding the Underground City.

Even on every passage there were marked numbers.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it with 'all roads lead to Rome'.

And behind the table was a knight wearing bright plate armor, and a helmet with wings on both sides on his head.

This person was precisely the Commander of the Bird of Paradise Knights.

"Let me introduce a bit, this is the Commander of the Bird of Paradise Knights, Huck Sima."

After entering the door, seeing both of them silent.

And the other party didn't strike up a conversation either.

Thus Horn immediately came out and introduced this Commander a bit to the two.

"Sima? Looks like it's imperial family."

Upon hearing the other party's surname Lan Qingyou raised her eyebrows, and said with a frivolous tone.

"Hmph."

And this imperial family of the other party didn't even answer, just coldly snorted once.

Although she didn't know why the other party was like this.

But from the other party's cold snort Lan Qingyou read three parts arrogance, three parts indifference, and also three parts ignorance of worldly affairs.

As for what the remaining one part was Lan Qingyou didn't read out.

Perhaps it was having eaten too full and being stuffed.

"Imperial family ah, quite interesting, on our side we also have a princess of the Aureolus family."

Let him be arrogant as he wishes.

I have a trump card.

Isn't it just identity, acting as if someone doesn't have it.

And as Lan Qingyou saw it, a person who could lead an armed force like a Knight Order, even if he was imperial family, was absolutely not the Old Emperor's son or grandson.

After all, others also had to guard a hand against him.

Lest someone play dumb to scheme against him.

So as far as identity was concerned, this guy with 'wings growing' on his head in front of her was absolutely not as high as Elisa.

So! He was able to be angered!

What Lan Qingyou could think of, Elisa this party involved naturally could also think of.

Thus she immediately rolled her eyes.

Then...

Happily joined in.

"If there's a matter say the matter, after finishing I can rest."

It was still an icy tone, but Lan Qingyou knew this guy was playing even more devotedly than herself.

And that one called Huck, upon hearing it said there was a princess of the Aureolus family, swished his gaze over to look at Horn.

That look was just like he was inquiring.

Horn nodded.

Huck's heart died.

His look also changed from inquiry to complaint.

Why couldn't you say it earlier?

"Cough, then let us start talking from this drawing."

Huck tactically coughed a bit, and then lowered his head to look at that not intact map on the table.

After all, since the other party already said so, then let's just do this.

One must know in the Sima Empire, the influence of the Aureolus Family was not a bit worse than their Sima Family.

Himself a collateral branch of the imperial family, if it wasn't for being born with the talent of a commander to become a Knight Commander.

He fundamentally wouldn't have the qualifications to stand in the imperial court either.

He had no comparison with someone's serious, proper princess.

Thus he non-stop started to explain for the three this fundamentally incomplete map that was like having fog of war opened.

Blablabla...

Huck spoke a huge string in the following ten minutes.

Not giving the three any opportunity to interrupt.

It would be better to say not letting people interrupt was his strategy.

At least this way he could smooth over his 'loss of composure' just now.

"That is to say going down from here is far less fast than going down from that side?"

After Huck finished speaking.

Horn used one sentence to summarize the things he spoke about for ten minutes.
