Chapter 52 Eve's Self-Strategy
Chapter 52 Eve's Self-Strategy
After passing through the identity check by the guards at the entrance, Su Tu stepped into the Imperial Holy Land.
The Imperial Holy Land is a huge hill.
After passing the corner not far from the entrance, you will see a seemingly endless staircase.
There is a corner every thirty meters or so on both sides of the stairs.
He only discovered that it was a tomb palace after he entered the Ashir's Treasury last time.
The entire esoteric site is also part of the imperial holy land.
If we think about it carefully using this logic, it's not hard to come up with a guess.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, each corner represents the burial of a famous figure in the history of the empire.
The empire existed for 500 years, and too many famous figures emerged during that time.
Those who are buried in the imperial holy land must have made great contributions to the empire.
Even at the very end of this seemingly endless staircase lies the tomb of the successive emperors of the empire.
As Su Tu gazed at the steps in thought, Eve caught up and stood silently beside him.
Seeing the thoughtful look in Su Tu's eyes, she immediately knew what he was thinking.
"How about that? Pretty impressive, right?"
Eve smiled slightly, a faint sense of pride welling up within her.
Hearing her say that, Su Tu naturally snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at Eve indifferently.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten that I have been here four times already?"
After saying that, he ignored Eve's stunned little face and walked straight towards the stairs.
After a while, Eve came to her senses, only to find that Su Tu had already walked quite a distance up the stairs.
"Why is this person so strange?"
Eve gritted her teeth, feeling a bit angry, and took a step to follow him.
Su Tu naturally noticed Eve rushing towards him from behind.
However, he didn't have time to pay attention to her right now.
He stepped lightly onto the steps, his eyes fixed on what lay ahead.
However, in his field of vision, two different scenes appeared.
One of them was the step beneath his feet.
Another one is the avatar's perspective, which is located at a corner not far outside the Holy Land, monitoring the entrance to the Holy Land.
This is a feature in the game that allows you to simultaneously view what your avatar and your main character see and hear.
Of course, he wasn't quite sure whether he could only use one avatar or multiple avatars.
After all, he has only created one avatar so far.
To create a second avatar, you need to complete the third stage of the quest and obtain character fragments before you can create it.
Fortunately, the third phase of the mission is now on track.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should be able to pinpoint the general area of key figures in the mission today.
In addition, the key magical tool for the mission—Aishir's exclusive magical tool—is now in his possession.
Once the scope is defined, he can begin to attempt to complete the task.
As his thoughts raced, the scene on his left suddenly changed, causing him to instinctively stop in his tracks.
A carriage slowly came to a stop in front of the gate of the holy site.
In the capital, each duke has a unique emblem that represents their status.
Apart from royalty, only dukes can enjoy such treatment.
The carriage parked in front of the imperial capital's sacred site naturally also bears such a mark.
In other words, the people in this carriage are either members of the royal family or members of the duke's family.
Given that today is a baptismal day, it's easy to determine the purpose of the people in the carriage coming here.
As he was thinking these things, the people in the carriage came into his view.
The person who stepped down from the carriage was a girl about the same age as Su Tu.
She wore a simple yet elegant white dress, and her long, black hair cascaded down her back.
Because of the distance and the fact that she was facing away from Su Tu's avatar, it was impossible to see her face clearly.
Judging from her silhouette, she must be just as beautiful as Eve, and could be considered a top-tier beauty.
Of course, these are not important.
What really matters is whether this person is actually the target of the mission.
Once the person entered the holy land and disappeared from Su Tu's avatar's sight, he withdrew from the avatar's sight, leaving only his true self in sight.
Just then, Eve caught up and stood beside him, looking at him with a joyful expression.
"I didn't expect you to wait for me. Looks like you're a normal person after all."
Su Tu had just inexplicably said those words and left without waiting for her, which made her very angry.
After all, the two can be considered friends now, at least in a perfunctory way.
However, seeing Su Tu stop and wait for him made him feel much better.
Deep down, he felt that Su Tu did indeed acknowledge him as a friend.
It is a fact that the princess's status is very different from that of the duke's second son.
But in Eve's view, setting aside these identities, the two of them were just pitiful people chosen by God.
We are all calamities, we are all of the same kind, so why can't we become friends, fight against the cold stares of the outside world together, and prove that even if we are calamities, we are still calamities of kindness?
But after Su Tu said "all calamities deserve to die," Eve felt that all of this might just be her own one-sided opinion.
Especially since the other party showed no intention of stopping to wait for him.
But just as she began to doubt herself, Su Tu stopped in her tracks.
He didn't turn around or say anything; he just stood there silently.
At that moment, Su Tu in Eve's eyes was elevated to an unparalleled height, like a magnificent tree that sheltered her from the wind and rain and stood firm.
It was at that moment that all my worries vanished, and a feeling of peace spread through my heart.
That's why she said those words to Su Tu after she caught up—words that symbolized playful banter between friends.
Of course, that's what she really thought.
But to Su Tu, all he heard was a deep sense of bewilderment and confusion.
"Why a normal person? What does she mean by that?" Su Tu wondered, but had no answer.
But from Eve's radiant expression, he realized that she might have misunderstood something.
He didn't know exactly what it was.
It doesn't matter, as long as she's happy.
After all, if I want to use her to find out some useful information in the future, it's still necessary to maintain a certain relationship with her.
They shouldn't be too intimate, as it's easy for others to misunderstand and cause unnecessary trouble.
However, one should not become too distant, lest this channel for gathering information drift away from oneself.
It has to be said that maintaining that kind of close yet distant distance is quite difficult.
If this guy can figure it out himself, that would be the best outcome.
Lost in thought, Su Tu revealed a rare, gentle smile.
"Let's keep going then, so as not to waste any more time."
Upon hearing this, Eve's eyes lit up slightly. She nodded gently and silently followed Su Tu toward the baptism ceremony.
