The elf maid stared at the armored soldier in front of her with wide eyes, wondering whether she should believe him or not, although she had no second choice.
The armored soldier flipped up his helmet visor, revealing a handsome face: "I am also an elf, you can trust me."
The maid nodded obediently, and after Jin Jin released his hand, she asked in a trembling voice: "Why...are you dressed like this...?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she had already figured out something. She let out a soft cry and hurriedly covered her mouth: "Are you... a thief?"
"Shh..." Jin Jin made a silencing gesture, "Get rid of these two idiots first, this is not the place to talk."
The maid nodded and stood up hastily.
"Is there a well or something nearby? Otherwise no one will pass by."
"There...what are you going to do?"
"What do you think?"
...
As two dull sounds of falling water sounded, Jin Jin pressed a big stone on the wellhead, clapped his hands and said: "As soon as the stone is pressed, they wake up, and no one can hear them even if they scream at the top of their lungs. Before dawn, If you move the stones away again, they should be dead. There are no signs of fighting nearby, and others will only think that they were drunk and fell into the well, and your crisis will be resolved."
The maid looked at Jin Jin with complicated eyes, as if she was a little afraid of this fellow tribesman who spoke the coldest words in the most ordinary tone.
"What's your name?" Jin Jin asked.
"Maria. What about you?"
"You don't need to know my name, Miss Virgin. I don't think you want to see me again. I helped you, and now it's your turn to help me."
"What do you need from me to help you?"
"I need you to come into a room with me."
Maria took a step back, and the hand holding the torn clothes couldn't help but tremble slightly: "But...if I don't go to the banquet site to pack things immediately, Uncle Foggang will become suspicious, and he may look around. I......"
"I'm not familiar with this place. Just take me to Orlando's room and you can leave."
"......that is it?"
"You seem a little disappointed? Although you are beautiful, it doesn't mean you can do whatever you want to me." Jin Jin said with a evil smile.
Maria blushed slightly, feeling ashamed of her excessive association, and nodded: "No problem, but what are you doing in Mr. Orlando's room?"
"You also said that I am a thief, didn't you?"
"The banquet is almost over, and Lord Orlando may return to his dormitory soon."
"Then what are you waiting for? Will you take me there when it returns to the dormitory?"
Maria was speechless. Facing this handsome and brave elf man, she seemed to have insufficient intelligence.
...
Maria is indeed a maid who has worked in the castle for many years and knows every corner of the castle. Under her leadership, Jin Jin arrived outside Orlando's bedroom smoothly and met almost no one along the way. She even I also stopped by the studio to change my clothes and put the pockmarks on my face again.
Even so, they didn't waste much time.
"This is Lord Orlando's bedroom." Maria said while standing in front of a thick golden nanmu door.
There was a thick sea mud lock hanging outside the door, and Maria didn't know how Jin Jin was going to get in.
"Thank you. If you are not in a hurry, can you wait for me at the door? If everything goes well, I should come out soon. If Orlando comes back during this period, just lock the door and leave quickly. I will Is it okay to find a way to come out on your own?"
Maria looked at Jin Jin with some surprise. Of course she was willing to take the risk to help Jin Jin. After all, compared to what Jin Jin had done to help her, this was simply a trivial matter.
But, if Orlando comes back, how will he get out?
While Maria was hesitating, Jin Jin had already used the prepared pick to open the door lock. He turned back to Maria with a smile and disappeared through the door, leaving behind a nervous Maria.
Orlando's room is not very big and is divided into a living room and a bedroom. There is a huge wall of bookshelves in the living room, but there are not many books on the shelves. It should be that the humans took most of the books away when they evacuated.
There is a stone table made of marble near the window, which is covered with messy documents. Not only the stone table, but also some office kraft paper are scattered on the ground. It seems that Orlando does not allow servants to enter here to clean up. , that’s why it looks so messy.
The room was filled with an indescribable smell, which was the unique body odor of orcs, which made Jin Jin, who had a slight mysophobia, frown.
Before he could feel disgusted, Jin Jin started groping around from the living room. Since he didn't dare to light a lamp, the room was a little dark. Jin Jin could only barely see with the limited white light coming in from the frosted window, which would affect his speed to some extent. But he searched all the places in the living room and bedroom where things could be hidden, but there was no trace of the magic potion.
Have you run out of magic potion? Or is there a hidden compartment?
Unwilling to give up, Jin Jin returned to the stone table where the potion was most likely to be hidden, and began to tap every part of the stone table. This time he really picked up some clues.
He determined that there was a hollow part in the second drawer of the stone table!
Jin Jin, who was sweating profusely, closed his eyes and gently rubbed the inside of the drawer with his fingers. He swore that even he, who had quite a lot of experience in his previous life, had never felt such a delicate touch on a woman's skin.
Sure enough, he found a tiny gap, and with a flick of the pick, he lifted up the first layer of the panel. An envelope appeared in front of him.
It was not a magic potion. Jin Jin was slightly disappointed, but he still took out the envelope and read the letter inside.
"Brave Orlando warrior, although communicating with you is very risky, I still have to tell you that the blood essence of the elves is no longer enough. I need more blood essence to provide more blood for the warriors of God Baal. A purer and more powerful life potion. If possible, please also bring me some wild datura seeds, preferably from the southwest secret forest, which is not far from the goblin lair. You can let Togo The more help I bring to you, the better. I hope God Baal can unify the Western Fantasy World as soon as possible, and I look forward to the day when I can meet you in the islands. White-robed Wizard"
The material of the letter is very delicate, similar to the wood pulp paper in the Blue Star world. It is not the rough animal skin that the orcs are accustomed to. There is an oval red mark with a chipped corner on the edge of the lower right corner, which seems to have been printed on it later.
Jin Jin is not stupid. This letter is obviously related to the magic potion. He can get several pieces of information from it: First, there are orc spies in the human race of the East Islands. The magic potion is provided by the other party, who can make the potion with conditions, and in During the war, he could still maintain correspondence and material exchanges with the orcs, so the status of the other party would not be low; secondly, the raw materials for the life potion include the blood essence of the elves and wild datura grass, and Orlando is the raw material supplier of the other party; thirdly, Orlando also There is a lack of life potion, so the reason why the two parties took the risk of communicating is that Orlando made a request and the other party did not have enough raw materials to reply.
No wonder Orlando is willing to cooperate with Togo, whose IQ is obviously not very high, to jointly monopolize the slave business. It turns out that Togo can provide Orlando with precious wild datura seeds.
Jin Jin is not interested in knowing who this "white-robed wizard" is. What he is worried about now is that if Orlando doesn't have the life potion now, then isn't his trip in vain?
What about Leanne?
Just as Jin Jin was thinking, the sound of locking suddenly came from the wooden door. The sound was obviously louder on purpose. It was not much different from thunder in a quiet room.
It was Maria who was giving the warning!
Jin Jin hurriedly put the letter back into the envelope and put the envelope back into the drawer compartment. In a panic, he accidentally bumped into the already crumbling pile of documents on the stone table, and all the documents were scattered on the floor.
What's even worse is that the drawer partitions are buried under the documents and there is no trace of them. If you don't care, Orlando will definitely find that the secret letter has been read by someone!
Jin Jin hurriedly pushed aside the documents on the floor, looking for the thin partition. A cry of surprise came from outside the door, followed by the sound of porcelain falling to the ground and breaking, and there seemed to be the sound of water being sprinkled.
"Lord Orlando, I'm so sorry. I was preparing to clean the venue with the water jug in my hand. I didn't notice you and accidentally got your clothes wet. I'll clean it up for you immediately..." Maria panicked. A voice sounded at the door.
The wooden door was hit with a loud bang, and someone was hit on the wooden door.
"Stupid and ugly elf pariah, who allowed you to pass here? If I see you set foot in this area again, I will twist your head off!"
The key was inserted into the lock cylinder, and with a click, the door lock was opened, and the tall Orlando opened the door and walked in.
It wears leather armor with thick rivets embedded in it. The muscles in the exposed areas are bulging, and the silver shiny skin looks a bit sticky. Although it has a typical appearance of the Azog race, a slanting line runs through the entire face from right to left. The scar on its face makes it look very scary, as if there is a centipede lying on its face.
But the orc is not ashamed of this. On the contrary, Orlando is complacent and likes to show people the scars on his face, which is an honor that proves that he has experienced many battles.
Orlando stood at the door and stared at everything in the room, bookshelves, files, beds, seats... everything was exactly the same as when it left.
Behind him, Maria, who was squatting on the ground collecting the fragments of the clay pot, secretly raised her head and looked through Orlando's legs, but did not see Jin Jin's figure.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt a fishy sweetness welling up in her mouth. She hurriedly reached out and wiped the corner of her mouth to wipe away the oozing blood.
Orlando suddenly looked back, and Maria lowered her head in a hurry, picking up the broken pieces of porcelain in a hurry, not daring to stop even if her beautiful fingers were cut.
"If you don't get out yet, what are you waiting for?" Orlando said coldly.
Maria bowed to Orlando while holding the broken pieces of porcelain, and left the scene as if fleeing.
Orlando closed the wooden door with a "snap" and began to pace slowly in the room, examining everything in front of him. Although the room seemed normal, he always felt that there was an aura that did not belong to him mixed in the air.
It lit the lampstand on the stone table, and the orange-red light illuminated the entire living room.
In the shadow under the bookshelf, a shrunken Jin Jin hid himself behind the books, and the light illuminated his face alternately.
This is the "Reverse Gigantization Magic" he developed. Since it can grow into a giant, of course it can also shrink. However, reverse shrinkage consumes much more mental energy than forward giantization. With Jin Jin's current mental strength He couldn't maintain his condition for long.
You have to find a way to get out.
Sweat beaded on Jin Jin's forehead, and he could only pray to Orlando, who smelled of alcohol, to go to bed quickly so that he could open the window and escape.
Unexpectedly, after Orlando checked around and found nothing unusual, he sat down on the chair behind the stone table and began to check the drawers.
After confirming that the envelope was still there, Orlando's expression softened a little. He took out the letter and read it by himself.
After a while, Orlando suddenly slammed the table and said angrily: "Damn white-robed wizard, the blood essence of the elves has been sent for two months, why hasn't the potion been delivered yet? He also cultivates datura himself, why must it be so? Want to use wild ones? He must be stalling for time! I have told God Baal long ago that humans are greedy and cunning, and they are not loyal partners!
If he dares to cheat, then I will reveal his identity and let all races know that their respectable... is actually a traitor! "
When Orlando mentioned the identity of the white-robed wizard, his pronunciation was not very clear due to clenched teeth. Although Jin Jin didn't particularly want to know, but in line with the principle of not listening to the gossip that came to his door, he stretched his ears.
With that movement, the book fell off the shelf.
Jin Jin was so frightened that he shrank behind another book and hurriedly thought about where to hide next. But after waiting for a long time, Orlando didn't respond.
It just dropped a book, maybe it didn't think there was anything strange about it.
Jin Jin quietly poked his head out to observe, and was shocked to find that Orlando, who was sitting in front of the table, was staring at him!
