Chapter 899 Theft

The headquarters of the Rose Legion is located on the side of the Elf Palace. It is also a palace, but it is not as grand and gorgeous as the Elf Palace.

There are three huge stone statues standing on each side of the entrance. They are all dressed in military uniforms, holding long swords in their hands, and their faces are beautiful but not majestic.

In the middle of the stone statue are two huge wooden doors, with countless exquisite patterns painted on them. Emily once told me that these patterns are the totems of the elven ancestors during their battles.

On both sides of the gate, there are two female elves standing guard. They have serious faces and sharp eyes.

I walked up and said, "Excuse me, is Emily in the guild now?"

One of the female elves looked serious and asked, "What do you want from the president?"

Is there something wrong? I thought for a long time and decided to tell the truth: "I am her friend. My name is An Xiaoyi. Please inform me that my family is waiting for her to eat."

After hearing this, the female elf thought for a moment, then whispered a few words to another female elf beside her, and then said to me: "Our president is not in the guild. If you want to find her, you can go to the palace."

"Oh? That's it. Thank you." I said as I walked towards the Elf Palace.

When I came to the palace gate, two guards blocked my way, and they were guards I didn't recognize.

"Who are you?" one of the guards asked.

"My name is An Xiaoyi," I said, "I am a human race who has settled here. Well, I can be considered a friend of the Queen."

He looked me up and down and asked again: "What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for Emily, the president of the Rose Legion."

"What are you doing with her?"

"We're looking for her to go home for dinner," I said, "I'd like you two to help inform her."

The two elves looked at each other, and one of them shook his head slightly. Seeing this, the other turned to me and said: "Her Majesty the Queen is summoning Lady Emily. I don't know when it will end. You should go back."

ah? It turned out to be Emily summoned by Her Majesty the Queen, so there was nothing we could do, we couldn't just break into the palace.

Simply, I thanked them both and turned around to leave.

When we got home, dinner had already been served. Cagalli looked behind me and asked doubtfully: "Where's Emily?"

"She was summoned to the palace by Her Majesty the Queen. She may be discussing something important."

She thought for a while and then asked, "Didn't you go into the palace to have a look?"

"The guards won't let me in, so I can't force my way in."

In this case, Cagalli had no choice but to give up, but she still muttered a few more words dissatisfied.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Why would Emily's IQ drop when she encountered something like this?

After dinner, I lay idle on the sofa for an hour, and was about to get up and go back to the room to rest. Cagalli suddenly stuffed a food box into me and ordered: "Send it to Emily."

"Eh? I'll give it away? Why?"

"You are my fiancé, of course you have to do this!"

"." I sighed: "Okay, okay, I'll deliver it. I'll deliver it right away."

Turning around with the food box in hand, I heard Billy snickering.

I came to Emily's house and knocked on the door. This time, the door opened. Emily stood at the door with a tired look. When she saw it was me, she turned sideways and let me in.

I opened the food box and asked, "What did you do? Why are you so tired?"

Emily sat at the dining table and shook her head slightly.

I placed the food inside one by one, then took out a pair of chopsticks from one side and handed them to her, saying, "Let's eat. After dinner, go to bed early."

She took the chopsticks and stared blankly at the food on the table for a while, then suddenly sighed and said, "It's really annoying."

"Is it really annoying?" I asked with a question mark on my face.

"It's so annoying, it's so annoying, it's so annoying, it's so annoying!" She said it four times in a row, suddenly raised her head, stared at me, and said, "Why did I have so many troubles when I was the president of the Rose Legion? occur!"

"This." I was in trouble and didn't know how to answer her.

After hesitating for a few seconds, I said: "Maybe the other presidents also had so many troubles when they were in office, but they didn't tell you."

Emily's eyes lowered slightly, and after a few seconds, she picked up a vegetable, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

She chewed slowly, as if she was savoring the best food, but her eyes did not look like she was enjoying it at all. Instead, she was in a daze, in a trance, thinking about something.

She had been chewing this vegetable for almost two minutes. I wanted to remind her to continue eating and not let the food get cold, but I couldn't bear to disturb her while she was thinking, so I had to sit on the chair and wait quietly.

Almost two minutes passed before Emily finally came to her senses. She swallowed the vegetable stems that had probably been chewed into powder in her mouth, sighed, and said to me: "The puppet design was stolen."

"Ah?" When I heard the news, I was also confused. When I came to my senses, I asked her: "How could the puppet design be stolen? Didn't the Queen say that it should be placed in the most heavily guarded place? ?”

"It was indeed placed in the most heavily guarded place in the palace, but it was still stolen."

At this point, she paused and continued: "...Moreover, the two guards guarding the blueprint were also killed."

"There are only two guards guarding the blueprint. Is this the strictest place you call it?"

"The place was originally very small and could only allow two guards to guard it," Emily explained: "And the place where the design drawings were placed was on the inside of the wall, and there was a 20-centimetre-thick metal door on the outside."

Hearing this, I frowned and asked: "Since there is such a thick metal door, it shouldn't be stolen even if the guards are dead."

"If there is no key, your idea is valid." Emily sighed: "The thief has the key to the box that keeps the blueprints."

"The thief still has the key?" I thought this thing was even more bizarre, and I couldn't help complaining: "Could it be that the keeper of the key was watching over the theft?"

"Well, you are right," Emily said: "The original keeper of the key has disappeared."

"Really or not?" I frowned: "Could he have been killed?"

"There were no traces of fighting or blood at the scene," Emily said, "Moreover, we found some letters in his office."

"Letter?" I asked curiously.

"Yes, some letters written in elven script," Emily said, "the contents of the letters are not much, and most of them are commanding. They are completely instructions."

"Is there a signature at the end of the letter or something?"

Emily shook her head and said: "No, there are only various instructions given."

After that, she said calmly: "Besides, there is another letter related to you."
