Chapter 699: ask
"Let's talk." In an office that didn't look ghastly, the leader of an investigation team of the Royal Guard's Special Tasks Department was sitting in his place, looking at the nervous elf.
The sun was shining outside the window, there was hot bitter tea on the table, and the plants on the balcony were quiet and natural, which more or less eased the tension in the house.
This elf has taken an oath to join Ailan Hill. He is now the head of a star ring project and has always performed well. He is also one of the few elf descendants who truly regard himself as an Ailan Hill. Computer::/
Swallowing a spit, this nervous wizard tribe mage said, "I know, it's not too much."
"Tell everything you know." The group leader handed the elf a cigarette. This kind of self-entertainment that ignites vanilla to harm his lungs is very popular with some male elves.
Swallowing a mouthful of smoke and exhaling it from his nose, the elf was obviously calmer. He pinched the smoke with his fingers, watched the plume of smoke, and said, "I only know that there are in the Moon Temple. The treasure left by our ancestors..."
"You didn't say this. What is the treasure? Tell me more in detail." The group leader has a lot of time, and he doesn't mind wasting more here.
Anyway, his job is to investigate the secrets of these elves, and to infer some useful information by comparing the confessions of these elves who joined Ailan Hill.
He is not afraid of the other party lying, nor is he worried that these answers are too scattered. He just needs to keep asking, keep comparing, and he will find the way that is closest to the correct answer.
"Really, I don't know...Even in the literature, everything in the Moon Temple is very mysterious." This elf, who also has a certain status in the elf clan, replied cautiously.
He is unwilling to betray his race, and he likes his life now. So he can only weigh carefully and say something that he thinks is irrelevant.
"If you don't know, then who else in the elves can know these secrets?" The group leader continued to ask in a tone that seemed to be chatty, playing with the pen in his hand.
"I think only Her Majesty the Queen will know these things." The elf thought for a while and replied.
After hearing this answer, the group leader nodded slightly, opened the drawer of his desk, took out a few photos from it, and pushed them to the other party: "You look at these photos, can you see any clues? "
"This...this is...this is the gate of the Moon God Temple." Seeing the words inscribed on it, the elf's eyes widened, and his voice trembled a little.
"Yes, look at the lines above. This is a kind of sealing magic. We tried to unlock it, but we failed." The group leader still said in that kind of chattering tone.
The elves shook his head. He recognized those ancient words: "This is the blood seal of the royal family. Only the king of the elves can unlock this seal. Whether it is the big elf king or the queen. In short, it is the highest level of magic. ."
The long life has given these elves countless leisure time, so any adult elves are very knowledgeable. This is not a difficult task. When a student has hundreds of years to review and deal with the college entrance examination, it is difficult for him to fail. ...
"We are trying to forcibly destroy this sealing magic." The group leader used the lies he had told several times to test the elves in front of him.
"No! If you forcibly destroy this seal, the entire temple will collapse because it is too old!" The elves really got excited, pointed their fingers at these ancient seals, and shouted: "No, please don't do this!"
"You mean, only let the queen lift the seal by herself?" The group leader pressed his hand on the photo and seemed to be thinking.
"Yes, if you don't want to destroy this temple." The elves sat back on the chair, because they were too excited just now, and the whole person was a little collapsed.
"Look at this again..." The team leader opened the top photo, revealing the bottom one.
The elves came forward curiously, and immediately exclaimed: "This is the ancient elves... This is the big library! Oh my God, it's still there!"
"The scattered books we found here, because they are in a vacuum environment, these leather products are well preserved." The team leader moved the top photo, revealing some of the photos below.
Various books were scattered on the dusty ground. Obviously, when the elves left here, they did not have time to deal with these precious documents.
What is even more frightening is that there are still some mummy corpses wearing gorgeous ancient costumes of the elves, lying between the bookshelves in all directions. They have slept here for tens of thousands of years, and they have maintained their calmness and grace temporarily.
It can be seen that after losing the energy of the tree of life on which it depends, the environment here has rapidly deteriorated, and none of the elves staying here can escape the catastrophe of death.
"In these books, there are some records about magic, as well as your ancestors' desire to go to Ailan Xiris." The team leader looked at the elves who had wept, and tried to comfort them: A very glorious civilization."
The aboriginal people of these elves living on the moon began to yearn for the magical land that is close at hand, which is now the planet called Ailan Xiris tens of thousands of years ago.
No one can go to space...Because of gravity, even with floating magic, it is still impossible to explore space in the era of lack of Ailan Hill's science and technology, that is, rocket technology.
Therefore, although the ancient elven ancestors yearned and yearned, they still couldn't set foot on Ailan Siris, which was not far away from them.
"I work hard at Starring, just to be able to return to the moon one day soon... It is the hometown of my ancestors, I want to go there and see." The elf fumbled for the photos in front of him, looking at those and the present. Unusual text said with emotion.
These words are not passwords. In fact, the elves don't use these ancient languages for a long time. On the current continent, a lingua franca born out of dragon language is used. After countless years of evolution and transformation, it is convenient and easy to understand. After all, the dragon family once ruled this continent.
And these words, when humans cooperate with the elves, also frequently appear in human documents. It’s easy to translate them, and you don’t even need an elven translation.
"Today's conversation, I hope you don't go out and talk nonsense..." The group leader stood up and stretched out his hand holding a business card: "If you think of anything again, please call me this."
"I, I will..." The elves quickly took the business card, nodded slightly, and then followed the officer behind him and walked out of the room.
"This is the 152nd..." After twisting his neck, the group leader snorted softly, then arranged the photos and put them back in the drawer.
In fact, the damage to the Moon Temple is much more severe than what you can see in the photo. After tens of thousands of years, many meteorites hit, and most of the remains of the elves have been completely destroyed.
All the astronauts who landed on the moon saw were the collapsed city walls, as well as the ruined ruins, not even the foundations.
Only the main body of the Moon Temple is still intact, presumably because of the existence of protective measures such as magical defense barriers that allowed this hall to survive to the present.
The scientists of Ailan Hill discovered countless elven corpses in the ruins of the moon. They also found weapons and armors of the elven clan back then, as well as a huge amount of various documents.
The work of analyzing these materials is still proceeding in an orderly manner, and a large number of elves stories have gradually begun to be organized and formed.
But everything still takes time, and what Ailan Hill lacks is also time. Chris hopes to master the secrets of the Elves before the Elf Queen gets the Moon Temple, so he hopes that his team can use the shortest time to sort out everything that happened before the demise of the Moon Elves!
"If it were me, I would not tell this kind of thing to subordinates of this level." The group leader lighted a cigarette for himself and said in a cloud of smoke.
His adjutant lowered his head, sorting out the recording file just now: "We can interrogate only the naturalized elf at this level."
"My Majesty the interrogation work of Fashen Maireen may have to come personally...After all, interrogating such a big man is not a job we can do." The group leader said with a cigarette in his hand and squinted.
His adjutant opened the window behind him, letting the smoke gradually dissipate: "I heard that your Majesty is going to visit Selks..."
"It's said in the news." The team leader replied absently.
"Perhaps our emperor, your Majesty, can ask about something useful from the Elf Queen's mouth." The adjutant thought of the Elf Queen's alluring face on the TV, with a smirk, and some imagination fluttered.
"Get out!..." The team leader yelled with a long voice, "You don't stand upright when you mention your Majesty. Do you want to go to the confinement room to confess?"
"Yes! I'm sorry!" The adjutant stood at attention immediately, putting away his ridiculous appearance: "Long live your majesty!"
"To the emperor, we must have a heart of respect and love! That is our god! An existence we are willing to defend with our lives! ... Let me find out again, and I will personally send you to the military law office!" The team leader threatened again. Then he shook his chin: "Go, call in the next one! I didn't do very well at work, but I'm not brave enough!"
The adjutant also knew that he had lost his mind, so he hurriedly went out and called the next naturalized elf who was cross-examined.
