    Three horses were galloping on the road, and each of them was riding on one of them, it was An Rui and the others.  An Rui rode the horse at the front, leaning down slightly, holding the reins tightly with both hands, and holding the horse's belly between his legs.  The strong wind blew past his ears, and the surrounding scenery turned into blurry shadows, changing frequently in his eyes.  The horses they rode were all fine horses, with white hair all over their bodies and a hard bump on their foreheads.  This kind of horse is called "Protruding Horse", which is a subspecies of unicorn and has a trace of unicorn blood in its body.  The three horses have been galloping sleeplessly for several days, but they are still strong and not tired at all.  An Rui felt that the money spent on the horses was well spent. These horses greatly speeded up their journey, which was faster than he expected.  Now they are rushing to Green Forest City, the capital of the Aoki Kingdom. The reason why they want to go there is because the headquarters of the Butterfly Bandits is located in Green Forest City.  An Rui planned to sit back and wait, arriving at the lair before those female elf archers.  This batch of blue crystals is valuable and can be sold for a lot of money, which is very important to Anrui.  He has already planned how to use the money, and he must not let the money he is about to receive slip through his fingers.  "Drive!" An Rui shouted loudly, speeding up a lot.  The sound of three horses¡¯ hooves trampling echoed along the ancient road, raising clouds of smoke and dust.  In the afternoon, An Rui and his party finally arrived at their destination.  A capital city composed of forests and wooden houses appeared before their eyes.  There are a lot of trees planted here, and you can¡¯t see the edge at a glance. From a distance, it looks like a forest. Only when you get closer can you see the buildings in the forest.  The buildings here are all wooden houses built on tall trees. They are beautiful and exquisite in shape, blending perfectly with the surrounding scenery, exuding a sense of natural beauty.  Everywhere is filled with the fragrance of flowers.  And the fresh smell of green grass.  Many small animals are running and leaping on the branches, and birds can be seen flying overhead everywhere.  This is really a beautiful city, and it is also a typical Elf city.  It was the first time for Anrui to see this kind of city with his own eyes. The scene here shocked him quite a lot. He sat on the horse and stared at the scenery in front of him for a long time.  "Okay, let's go." An Rui had seen enough.  He waved the reins again, urging the horse forward.  The three of them ran all the way to the edge of Green Forest City.  Several agile elven soldiers jumped down from the trees, stopped An Rui and others, and questioned them about their origins and purposes.  Aoki Country is very resistant to people of other races and will strictly control the number of domestic and foreign visitors.  It is not easy for outsiders to enter Green Forest City.  Anrui left the negotiation to Berego.  After all, Berego is an Elf, so it is easier to deal with people of the same race.  Berego took out the story that Anrui had given before and lied that he was going to the city to visit relatives and friends.  The soldier promised that the three of them could enter the city, but they had to strictly limit the date of entry, and they had to pay entry fees and sponsorship fees. The price was the lowest for one to three days, and the longer the entry time.  The more you pay.  Since they didn¡¯t know when the Butterfly Bandits would come back, An Rui and his party could only choose to stay long-term and paid for half a month¡¯s temporary stay.  The soldiers distributed temporary residence permits to them, which clearly marked the temporary residence period. Once expired, the temporary residence permit would be invalid.  "After entering the city, remember to keep your temporary residence permit close to your body and make sure you don't lose it. When foreigners are walking on the road, the patrol soldiers in the city will often check your temporary residence permit. If you can't take it out, they will arrest you.  Qingmu Country has very strict control over foreigners, I hope you can understand." The soldier gave instructions and stepped aside.  In fact, Aoki Country¡¯s control over foreigners is not the strictest. Some purely ethnic countries with conservative ideas simply prohibit any foreigners from entering.  Once an intruder is encountered, shoot him without mercy.  An Rui and the others put their temporary residence permits close to their bodies and rode into the city.  Unlike port cities, the elven residents living in the imperial city are more resistant to outsiders.  After seeing An Rui and the other three, they all stayed away.  An Rui can understand this kind of xenophobic reaction.  There will be barriers even between people of different skin colors, let alone people of different races.  As the old saying goes, if you are not of my race, your heart will be different.  Anrui gradually shifted his attention from the people to the scenery, admiring the treehouses around him. These treehouses have their own characteristics, some are colorful, and some are different.?Old and simple.  But he was not walking aimlessly, but was always heading towards a specific destination.  Tens of minutes later, they came to a temple of the Elf King.  Each race has its own gods. The elves believe in the Elf King. This is an ancestor of the elves. He has made great contributions to the elves and defeated many enemies. He was a racial hero during his lifetime. After his death, he was  The tribesmen regard him as a god.  The gods in this world all come from this way. They are all living people during their lifetime, and the gods they become after death are definitely not the kind of gods that are made up out of thin air.  In addition to gods, there is also a kind of existence called heroic spirits in this world. They are also transformed after the death of heroes. They are just one level lower than gods, do not have such high divinity, and do not have too many believers.  For most people, they are not sure whether gods exist, and not many people have seen gods appear.  But Anrui knows that the gods and heroic spirits in this world do exist, but they are bound by some invisible rules and cannot easily descend to the earth.  The temple in front of them is specially used to worship the Elf King, and some believers often come here.  But this is just an appearance. In addition to being a temple, this place is also the secret lair of the Butterfly Thieves!  "Let's go in." An Ruilai had already explained to his two companions before, and walked directly in without saying anything at this time.  Berego and Sophie followed closely behind.  There were more people coming to pray in the morning, but now it is empty, not even a single believer.  An Rui glanced at the statue of the Elf King enshrined opposite, and then walked towards a prayer room.  When believers usually pray, they can pray directly in the hall, or they can choose to pray in the prayer room.  There are a total of ten prayer rooms here, and the doors are all closed.  An Rui opened a specific door and walked in.  He took out the master key from his arms, leaned down, found the keyhole in a gap in the floor, pushed the master key in, and twisted it gently.  Just listen to a soft click, and the secret door on the floor was opened.  An Rui opened the floor and was the first to walk down.  The two companions followed, with Berego walking at the end and closing the door of the prayer room.  The three of them walked down the secret door for a long time, and finally reached the deepest point and arrived at the secret lair of the Butterfly Thieves.  This is a basement.  There were luminous stone lamps lit, some seats were placed, and there was a wine rack in the corner with many vintage wines.  The basement was empty, not even a soul in sight.  "After they steal the blue crystal, they will definitely go to write off their accounts. I'm afraid they won't come here again in the short term, right?" Berego speculated as he looked around.  An Rui was not in a hurry to talk.  Instead, he leaned down, stretched out his hand, and lightly wiped the ground.  There was a thin layer of dust on the ground, and there were no footprints. It was obvious that no one had been here for a while.  "The leader of the Butterfly Thieves is a strange person. She has kleptomania and likes to steal things. Every time she succeeds in committing a crime, she will be very excited. She will bring her men here to celebrate and share this joy with her men. This  This time will definitely be no exception, they will definitely come back here before writing off the account, we just have to wait and see." An Rui stood up and dusted his hands.  "Are we going to wait here forever for them to come back?" Sophie asked from the side.  "It may take a few days for them to come here. We can't wait for them here. This time they come here just for a visit. After we leave later, we will find a hotel nearby to stay and monitor this sacred place from the outside.  Tang." An Rui replied.  The three of them did not stay here for too long, and soon climbed back up without anyone noticing.  Quietly left the Elf King's temple.  This is the secret lair of the Butterfly Thieves, but the priests of the temple itself are not directly related to the Butterfly Thieves, so there is no need to trouble these priests.  All the priests here were kept in the dark and didn't know that there was a den of thieves under this temple. Otherwise, they would have reported it long ago.  People in this world are very devout in their faith and will not allow such sacrilegious behavior as building a den of thieves under a church.  After the three people left, they found a hotel nearby, stayed there, and took turns monitoring the movements of the church.  There was nothing gained in the first two days. Those who went to the church to pray were just ordinary believers.  ¡°Two days later in the evening, An Rui and his three men¡¯s waiting finally came to fruition.  ??There are some suspicious figures that have entered the temple at an extremely fast speed. Judging from the silhouettes of the figures, they are all women, and they are all female.?Carrying a bow and arrow.  "It's them!" Berego hid in the hotel room, looking at the open window of the church through the gap in the curtains, his eyes were solemn and said.  "Shh, keep your voice down and don't disturb them. After they all enter the church, we will go to them to settle accounts. You go and call Sophie from the next room, and the three of us will go there together later." An  Rui said next to him.  Berego nodded, withdrew and walked out. He came back not long after and brought Sophie over.  The three of them looked at the window for a while, but there was no unusual movement after that.  "They should have entered the secret room. Let's drink the antidote and then go meet them." An Rui took out the antidote he was carrying and handed it to his two companions. "The poison they used is effective."  It is very fast, but not very toxic. These anti-sleep antidotes are enough to resist. After drinking these antidotes, you no longer need to be afraid of the poison on their arrows." Sophie and Berego took the antidote and raised their heads.  Gududu drank it.  After drinking the antidote, the three of them set off together.  An Rui tightened the swords on his body and took the lead to walk out.  After a while, the three of them entered the Elf King's Temple and opened the specific prayer room.  Since many members of the Butterfly Bandits have entered the secret room before, the secret door here is not locked and can be entered and exited at will.  An Rui walked in front, protecting himself with a golden feather shield, and walked down step by step.  Although the strength of Shafi and Berego has improved a lot, they are still incomparable to him now. In this case, he still has to take the lead.  They walked for a while and finally reached the bottom.  An Rui took a deep breath, gestured to his companion behind him, and then pushed the door open.  What greeted him were dozens of arrow tips glowing with cold light.  "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" In the next moment, dozens of arrows were shot at Anrui. Some of them were blocked by the golden feather shield, while the rest were dodged by Anrui.  Sophie and Berego then broke in, put up a defensive posture, and did not act rashly. This was what An Rui had warned before.  "Blue Butterfly, don't rush to start a war, I have something to tell you!" An Rui said quickly after avoiding the arrow.  "Stop!" Lan Butterfly, the leader of the group, shouted loudly.  The members of the group stopped together, showing a tacit understanding, but the arrow tips were still pointed at An Rui and the others, ready to shoot at any time.  "Who are you and why do you know this place?" Blue Butterfly looked at An Rui and asked in a loud voice.  At this time, she was wearing a butterfly mask on her face and an ordinary dress.  "You stole my blue crystal, but you don't know who I am. This is a bit unreasonable." An Rui sneered.  "Are you the captain of those two ships?" "Yes." "Okay, I know your identity. Now, answer another question. Why do you know this place?" "I not only know your home base, but also  I know the identity of your mysterious leader," An Rui said mysteriously.  As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room immediately became subtle, and the group members all showed curious eyes.  The identity of the leader of the Butterfly Thieves is not only a mystery to the outside world, but also a mystery to the inside of the Thieves.  Even these group members don't know the identity of the group leader. The group leader always wears a mask when he is with them.  The eyes behind the blue butterfly changed a few times, but soon returned to calm.  "You're lying, I've never met you, how could you possibly know my identity." Blue Butterfly snorted coldly.  "You don't believe it?" An Rui asked playfully.  "I don't believe it." "You will believe it soon." After An Rui finished speaking, his figure disappeared out of thin air like a ghost. When he reappeared, he had teleported to the side of Blue Butterfly.  He leaned his head over and whispered into Blue Butterfly's ear, "Actually, your true identity is Princess Alice, right?"
