Om ~!
A bee flew over the leaves in front of her.
Eleanor didn't pay attention to it. She stuck her body close to the tree. The rough bark rubbed against her smooth skin. It was very uncomfortable. But she knew that she had to endure it. It was possible that the saintess was living in the Temple three hundred meters away. If she was aware that she was here then it wouldn't be as simple as discomfort.
It had been half an hour since she had sneaked into the most heavily guarded mountain in the outer wall. Moreover she had found an excellent observation angle. As long as she didn't get close to the range of two hundred meters and didn't have killing intent then she believed that even if Aisha was here she wouldn't be able to detect her existence. She had verified this point many years ago when she had sneaked into the Saint's peak.
"There are two people's scents. One of them has a male's sweat smell. The information said that she has a teenager beside her. He is inseparable from her. The smell should be that boy's." Eleanor's eyes glanced at the Temple. She was a master who had experienced hundreds of battles. She could detect if someone was looking at her from a distance. "The other person's smell is a little similar to hers. It should be her. But the smell is mixed with the smell of blood and decay. It's a bit strange."
She gently sniffed and collected the smell from the Temple in front of her. There was some doubt in her heart. She was 70% sure that the other person in the Temple was Aisha. She didn't die outside the giant wall as Hailey had said.
However, she knew Hailey's temperament. She knew that 70% certainty wouldn't satisfy her. She could only continue to wait until she confirmed it with her own eyes!
She waited for half an hour. Ten minutes ago, she saw a figure walking over from the window of the shrine. It was the young man who had given her the information. He had pitch-black hair, and he stood alone by the window. He held something that looked like a paper roll in his mouth, and he lit it up and puffed out smoke.
When the smoke came out, it immediately made her feel nauseous. The smell was pungent and unpleasant, but looking at the youth's appearance, he didn't seem to care about the smell. He inhaled and exhaled the odorous smoke. His face didn't seem to be enjoying it, nor did it seem to be rejecting it. He seemed to be thinking about something.
She looked at the corner of the window. She didn't see Aisha. She was a little disappointed. But she thought it was very kind that Aisha could tolerate such a strange smell under the same roof as Aisha with her mysophobia character.
Time passed quickly. It was lunchtime in the blink of an eye.
She had been waiting for this moment for a long time. She saw the young man in the robe of the Pope enter the hall with his attendants. She smelled a fragrant aroma from the food covered by the lids. At the same time, she also smelled the pungent smell of blood. It was clearly raw meat! Moreover, it was the smell of raw beef. It smelled like beef.
She frowned slightly. Most of the raw beef was only slightly fried. It should be the boy's food. As for Aisha, she never liked to see blood. She always ate eighty percent cooked food.
Not long after, lunch was over, and the attendants left with the cutlery.
Eleanor continued to wait for a while but didn't see anyone come out. She couldn't help but feel depressed in her heart. Did Aisha and the boy plan to stay inside all day? Why didn't they come out?
At about three o 'clock in the afternoon, there was still no movement inside. She was depressed and quietly came down from the tree. Several strange limbs slowly grew out of her chest and quickly dived into the ground. This was the ability of her magic mark.
After diving into the ground, her eyes were still open, but her normal eyes were now completely white, as if she had rolled her eyes. Although there was no light source in her eyes, the surroundings were not pitch-black, and the crowded sand and stones around her did not damage her eyes. If one looked carefully, they would find that there was a layer of transparent crystal-like material protecting her eyes.
She listened calmly. Her perception spread along the soil like a spider's web. It extended straight to the bottom of the Temple. The soil under the Temple was like a dark lake, calm as a mirror. At the moment, there was a little ripple in the middle of this dark lake. In her auditory perception, these ripples were two feet. The feet didn't move, but the limbs above the feet all the way to the chest had a beating heart. This weak beating transmitted a faint sound through the soles of the feet to the ground and then into her ears.
In addition to the ability to distinguish hundreds of thousands of smells, her hearing was the strongest weapon.
"The heartbeat rate is stable, and there is only one person's movement …" Eleanor looked at the soil in front of her without blinking. It seemed a bit scary. She listened more attentively. The previous smell clearly belonged to two people. Why was there only one person's movement? Could it be that she had already sensed his presence, so she concealed her movements?
But even if she wanted to cover up, how could she cover up? Could it be that she was floating in the air inside the Temple?
After listening carefully for a long time, there was still no movement from the second person. The doubt in her heart slowly turned into fear. Could it be that she was existing like this, but she could not sense her?
Was this her new ability?
She could not think of an answer. After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth. A few strange limbs grew out of her body and quickly pierced through the soil, pushing her body deeper into the ground. After diving a hundred meters underground, she carefully approached the Temple in front of her.
A moment later, she came to the bottom of the Temple and continued to crawl forward for a distance before stopping.
"There's a cliff in another meter. Once I go out, I might expose my scent. I'm too close." Her eyes flickered, and she laughed bitterly in her heart. This was really a tough job.
But fortunately, she was prepared. She immediately took out a thin black pipe from her armor, pierced through the soil, and extended it outwards.
When it reached the outside, she opened her mouth and sucked in a mouthful of soil. Using her teeth and lips, she then blew into the pipe. The strength of the breath was relatively strong, and the soil in the pipe was forced out. Because of the soil in her mouth, her breath was filled with the smell of soil. It was not easy to arouse suspicion, and most people would think that it was a mountain breeze.
When the pipe was connected, she took out a thin wire and a lens the size of a finger cap. She used the thin wire to tie a small pinhole in the lens, then stuffed the lens into the thin pipe. She blew it out of the pipe and exposed it on the cliff. Then, she gently moved the thin wire and pulled the lens back into an extremely small V-shaped indentation at the mouth of the pipe, causing the lens to be tilted upward at a fifty-degree angle.
From this angle, she could see the situation on top of the cliff through the tube. This was her favorite observation method for many years. There weren't many materials, and it was easy to carry. Moreover, it was hidden and could be thrown away without being noticed.
After making the observation tool, she took out the second tube and carefully pierced it out of the soil, exposing it outside the cliff. This tube had a curved arc. She took out a small red nail that she had prepared with her and inserted it into the tube. At the end of the red nail was a glass tube device, which was her unique design. At this moment, after adjusting the angle of the red nail in the tube, she took a deep breath from the surrounding soil and blew it out.
The red nail shot out quickly and followed the curve of the pipe toward the cliff. It nailed into the cliff that was tens of meters above, and the sound was extremely soft.
After doing this, she began to wait quietly.
Not long after, there was a sudden rustling sound on the cliff. She saw some poisonous snakes and small poisonous lizards crawling up the steep cliff. These poisonous insects seemed to be summoned, crawling in the direction of the red nail.
Eleanor looked through the thin pipe and waited attentively.
