Tan'er looked at Rand suspiciously, thinking that this Rand envoy would not be undercover like him, otherwise how could it be like this.
Rand was a little uncomfortable when Tan'er looked at him, and then he immediately understood what he meant. Tan'er suspected that he was not a serious cult envoy!
Although there is an additional elf Lysa in the den to check and balance Taner, he is no longer so afraid, but if it is really exposed, the den is still very likely to usher in a split.
I have been too complacent during this period, what a bad thing!
Chapter 21 The incomplete protagonist group
Regarding Tanl's suspicion, Rand decided to pretend not to notice. Recently, he had a new understanding of playing the role of an angel.
That is, the more I care about acting, the less likely I am to act. I, Rand, am originally an envoy of the Mother Goddess. I have acted openly and openly throughout my life, and I don’t need to explain it to anyone.
The main reason is that he doesn't know what to do to dispel Tan'er's suspicion now. Worrying about gains and losses will easily reveal more flaws.
Tan'er also knew that it was not good to keep staring at the Lord God Envoy. He looked at it suspiciously for a while and then withdrew his gaze. Now he didn't know what he was thinking. Anyway, being an adjutant in this strange cult den was better than working in this strange cult den. He would be much more comfortable sitting on the bench at the Torch Church headquarters.
Not far away, two adventurers riding divine horses whispered to each other for a while.
"Olena, are the legendary forge ruins really here?"
The woman named Olenna unfolded the old map and looked at the markings on it carefully: "It should be right here, if this map of yours is true."
"Can this kind of map be fake?" The girl who spoke at the beginning pouted, and something bad flashed through her heart. Maybe her adventure would end because of the wrong map: "This is I found it in my sister’s study, so it can’t be fake.”
"Ellie, generally speaking, no one dares to offend the majesty of the White King." Olena drove the horses. Now the nearby mountain road has become difficult to walk, which is no longer suitable for horses to move. You must choose carefully. Path, otherwise even a horse with excellent pedigree might stick out its hooves, "But if every treasure map could allow people to find the corresponding treasure, the world would be full of treasure-hunting adventurers now."
If Rand were around, he would definitely be convinced. When he was playing in the cloud, the happiest thing he had was watching those video uploaders buy fake treasure maps, and after all the hard work, they found nothing.
But for players with a very low cost of failure, the fun of treasure hunting is as addictive as a lottery. There will always be a lucky person who can find a priceless treasure through a certain treasure map.
But in the real world, not many people are willing to waste time testing the authenticity of a treasure map.
After following the treasure map and walking around a mountain road, Ellie was a little discouraged. She even suspected that Olenna, who had never made mistakes in the past, had read the wrong map. However, she took the map herself and failed to find the location of the ruins.
It seems that this treasure map is indeed fake.
Now she can only find a nearby village to rest for a while. Ellie is completely unwilling to go back like this. She finally took advantage of her sister's business trip to sneak out of the house. If she goes back in despair, she will be laughed at by her sister. , Ellie's blood surged when she thought of her sister's evil smile.
When she was very young, she was taken care of by her sister. She didn't know what her sister was like to the outside world, but she was always very good to her.
It was her sister, who was called the White King by outsiders, who had strange and evil tastes and liked to tease her very much. Every time her sister showed a naughty smile, she would be in bad luck.
So my sister seemed to have a naughty smile before she went on a business trip. Could it be that this wrong map was specially prepared for her by her sister? Damn it!
In this way, outsiders don't even know that the legendary White King Kalant is a woman. Although some people may doubt the gender of the handsome White King, no one dares to really test it.
But in Ellie's eyes, the aloof White King is just a bad sister who likes to tease her.
Damn White King, I will teach you a lesson when I get home, Ellie thought, waving her little fist.
The nearest village is in a ravine. Although it is a bit strange why there is a village in such a place with inconvenient transportation, it is more suitable to choose a village than sleeping in the wilderness full of dangers and mosquitoes.
At this time, Rand had returned to his den, and his heart skipped a beat when he heard from his men that a woman in white had come to stay.
What do you really think about? Is the legendary Murphy's Law so effective?
Rand went to receive him in silence.
There are two adventurers who are dressed in white, one is an almost pure white adult woman wearing a white fur coat, and the other is a girl who is also wearing white clothes, but with many decorations on it.
Different from the impression of the protagonist group, he had no impression of this beautiful woman in a white fur coat. Although he was sure that this girl was a member of the protagonist group, what about her teammates?
It stands to reason that he had only been in this world for about a month, so he wouldn't have had such a big impact. Why was it like this? Several people who were supposed to go on adventures with her, and who would become legends in the future, didn't show up at all.
And he actually came to the den. Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the ruins? He had to come to the den.
But on the surface, Rand remained calm and tried to act like a normal village leader. After asking for their names and purpose of visit, he arranged an empty room for them.
It can only be said that fortunately all the tauren were arranged by him to clear up wasteland in Den No. 3, otherwise there would probably be a fight now.
At night, Ellie approached Olena and whispered, "Olenna, is this really a village? I smell a strong smell of blood. There must be fresh corpses buried nearby."
The woman called Olena moved her nose and whispered, "I smell it too. We will leave early tomorrow morning."
If they leave overnight and are discovered, it will be difficult to explain. Although Olena is also a top-level professional, if this is really a robber's den or a gathering place of evil forces, it will be very difficult for her to protect Ellie and get out of here.
And as a protector, if the protected object is injured, it is undoubtedly a failure.
But she is not particularly worried. Top-level professionals are very rare. It is impossible that there are top-level professionals in such a small village in the mountains.
She just needs to wait for tonight to pass, and then she can take Ellie away. It is estimated that the young village chief does not want to provoke her, and the two can live in peace.
Ellie nodded after hearing what Olena said. She was a more righteous person, but in her eyes, it was much less important to fight for the unknown and unknown corpse than to not cause trouble for Olena.
After all, if something really happened, it was still Olena who protected her. If Olena was injured to protect her, she would definitely feel guilty for a long time.
As for the things here, as long as she left and went back home to tell her sister, her subordinates would naturally give her the answer.
Just like Olena thought, Rand did not want to cause trouble. If he really faced these two, it would not be said whether this girl named Ellie had the aura of the protagonist.
Even if she did not have the aura of the protagonist, it would be very difficult to deal with them if they won the nest.
This adult woman named Olena was not sure, but he was very sure that Ellie was the blood relative of the White King.
If she really had something happen here, Rand's adventure in the world of "Deep Moon" would come to an end directly.
Chapter 22 I, Rand, wanted to be an upright person (extra update)
Just in the middle of the night, when Rand thought that the matter was over, the room arranged for the suspected protagonist group burst into dazzling white light.
At this time, Rand, who was still awake, was handling official business in the sacrificial room with the lights on, and his eyes were hurt by the dazzling white light.
Oleanna was sweating profusely. The white light just now was emitted by the high-level ritual vessel of the Torch Church. For some reason, there was no warning before, until it reached the critical point and exploded directly.
The fact that the high-level ritual vessel was damaged without direct physical attack from the outside world means that the evil power here is already exaggeratedly strong, combined with the smell of blood before.
It can be very simply concluded that this is a cult den, and there are very advanced evil creatures.
The white light is not only a warning, but also the last protection.
Oleanna shouted to Ellie: "Run!"
High-level evil creatures are completely beyond the scope of a single human being. Now she can only pray that the last afterglow of this ritual vessel can buy them time to escape.
Rand walked out of the sacrificial room and found that many believers who rushed out of the house were paralyzed. It seemed that this light had a suppressive effect on the power of the Mother Goddess.
After carefully feeling it, Rand found that his blessing 1, the desire of the Black Goat Mother, and blessing 2, the desire to share, were weakened to a certain extent, but not much.
Are there props specifically for dealing with cultists? He used to think that the ritual vessels of the Torch Church could only sense the existence of cultists at most, but now it seems that this is not the case?
Rand frowned. In the future, he must be more careful not to expose the fact that this is a cult den, otherwise the trouble will be greater than imagined.
However, although the den was started by cultists, cultists are now in the minority. This white light also woke up the villagers in the den who were still sleeping on behalf of Rand.
Olenna fell into despair. There was an emerald green arrow in front of her, which meant that there was an elf ranger staring at her in the dark, and his level was at least superior.
Just as she stopped, a paladin wearing black armor with silver in some parts stood in front of her, his majestic body standing in front of her like a mountain.
At this time, Taner had put on a helmet, and the ruby inlaid on it reflected the light of the torch in the dark night.
Although they did not fight, the paladin just standing there made people feel that he was the best.
Even if it was a fair fight, Olenna was not sure whether she had a chance of winning, not to mention that there was not only a ranger in the dark who was watching from an unknown direction, but she also had to protect Ellie.
This was almost a desperate situation.
In fact, Taner was hesitating whether to let the two go. These two adventurers who looked like they were from the North were obviously in the good camp.
Taner was not sure whether the current situation was a misunderstanding.
This is indeed a cult den, but it is not an evil cult den. If Taner had not come here as an undercover, he might have the same idea as these two adventurers who were dressed gorgeously and looked noble.
It's a cult den, how could it not be evil?
But now there is no chance to explain.
Taner shook his head. He must not let these two adventurers go. If they escape and report to the Torch Church, the hideout will be wiped off the map.
Serai and Ses will die, Rand will die, the tauren Shasa will die, and even Taran who just surrendered will die.
The butt determines the thinking. A person's position will determine the way of thinking.
At this time, Taner stood firmly on the position of the den. He absolutely could not tolerate the people in the den being killed unjustly and shamefully.
Everyone in the den just wanted to survive, and they must not be wiped out as those evil cultists.
If reported, the Torch Church's approach would definitely be "wrong".
Therefore, Taner would not let such a mistake happen.
Olena bit her lips. Because she bit too hard, her tender lips had been bitten, but she was unaware.
Bright red blood flowed from the side of her lips.
"Ellie, it seems that we have no way to leave." Olena said the conclusion painfully.
The light emitted by the explosion of the ritual vessel seemed to have no effect on the two cultists.
This means that the evil of these two high-level professionals may have exceeded the sum of what she had seen in the past.
Olena put the one-handed sword back into the scabbard. Now she still has hope to escape alone, but it is impossible to take Ellie with her.
And if she gave up Ellie and escaped alone, she might as well choose to die.
"Let us go, I can guarantee that we will never reveal any information about this den, I can swear, no matter what kind of oath in the world." Olenna said, she was trying to think of a way to break the deadlock.
She forced herself to calm down. If she couldn't calm down, there was no way she could take Ellie away.
"Do you think it's possible?" Rand sat on the chair that Seth had cleverly moved over with a gloomy face. Now this trick for promotion and salary increase has been taught to Seth and Selei by Taner.
But now it seems that Seth is more clever.
Rand didn't want to have anything to do with these two troublesome people, but now letting them go and betting that they would abide by the oath would be like putting the lives of 61 people in the den, including himself, on the gambling table. If you win, you will lose everything, and if you lose, you will die.
It is absolutely impossible to let them go.
Rand twisted his hair painfully, and he really couldn't think of any way to solve this matter.
But Rand is good at diverting problems. Now the most dangerous person is not him, but these two beauties.
This young-looking Ellie is the wisest of the protagonists.
"Try to think of a solution. It's impossible to let you go. If you can come up with a best of both worlds solution, maybe you don't have to die." Rand crossed his legs and said helplessly.
"Do you know us?" It was Ellie who spoke.
"Yes." Rand nodded slightly, his handsome face looked calm under the light of the torch, "Blood relative of the White King."
Ellie was not surprised that a cultist in a mountain valley knew her identity. After all, the evil here was strong enough to crush the high-level ritual vessels specially given to the White King by the Torch Church.
Rand in front of him looked like a human, but who knows what he was.
The ranger in the dark has not appeared yet, and he is probably the top one.
Two top professionals and a powerful evil creature with unknown names are hidden in a small mountain valley.
I'm so unlucky. I just went out to a place and encountered this level of evil forces. Now it seems that there is no chance to destroy their evil plan.
"Let one of us go, and the other one stays as a hostage." Ellie said.
This is indeed much safer, but it is not very meaningful, because the trust issue has not been fundamentally resolved. Rand continued: "Then what?"
"As long as you treat the hostage well, the White King will exchange this hostage with items of sufficient value." Ellie said, "Then we will be even."
"How can you guarantee that the White King will not come and destroy us directly." Rand rolled his eyes.
"As long as you treat the hostage well." Ellie said, "We don't have any hatred in essence."
"It's not up to you to decide whether to treat it well or not." Rand still objected, and the opposition between the camps is the biggest hatred.
"You have to believe me." Ellie continued to argue, "If you kill us, not only will there be no benefit, but you will also be hunted by the White King. It is better to believe us. As long as you don't do anything excessive, the White King is not an unreasonable person."
Rand smiled. He couldn't afford to gamble: "Not enough."
At this time, the elf Lysa came out of the shadows with a dim crystal in her hand: "This is the crystal of the image."
The elf blinked her beautiful eyes, looked at Olenna who pursed her lips and Ellie who was a little stubborn, and licked it with her bright red tongue.
Strictly speaking, she was also a person in the good camp, so she didn't want two such beautiful lives to disappear.
So she used her wisdom to come up with a wonderful idea: "My Lord, you should know how to use it for the best effect."
"Ahem." Rand coughed awkwardly.
