Blood of Mercury

Facing Roland's thanks, Akakajika just waved her hand casually.

"Oh, ah... You don't have to be so formal, I feel uncomfortable. I just mention it like that, you have heard it and then forget it. You still have to walk your own way, no matter how good I say it, it's useless."

Having said that, his expression became lazy again. He reached out and scratched the scar at the corner of his eye, his tone became heavier: "That... Little Roland, I repeat, you must forget what I just said, I am serious. I just point out your shortcomings, no Tell you 'ah you'll be fine with that.' I'm not guaranteeing you anything, but I dare say you'd be doing more harm than good if you accepted my previous opinion in full."

"I will judge well, Your Excellency."

Roland replied seriously.

"Ah...that's fine."

Akakajika saw Roland who had always maintained a humble attitude, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised inadvertently, and then he was immediately pressed down. But the smile at that moment was accurately captured by Roland.

Suddenly, Roland's heart that had been hanging in secret was finally put down.

Akakaji Hana is known for her changeable personality, and those who are not familiar with him will think that this is a difficult person to get along with. But in fact this person understands very well.

The biggest contradiction of this person is that he is obviously a very casual person, but he is very disgusted with other people not following the rules.

Because for Akakajihua, business is business, and you must not smile when talking to him about business, otherwise he will think that this person is unreliable even though he doesn't show it on his face.

But Roland didn't really like Akakajika very much. Not because of his usual sissy, nor because of his violent aesthetics, or even because of Akakajika's somewhat hypocritical personality, but because Roland is fundamentally at odds with him.

The free personality of a prodigal son is undoubtedly synonymous with irresponsibility in Roland's view. Roland was even more disgusted by Akakajika's violent impulse that she tried so hard to suppress but couldn't.

Compared with Akakaji Flower, Roland prefers his disciple Arthur or Marquis Saya.

In Roland's view, only people like them can be regarded as true nobles.

They define the meaning of their birth, the meaning of their own life, and regard it as a lifelong belief, and they firmly believe it. They are never lost, never hesitate. No matter what situation you face in life, you should go all out to achieve your established goals in life, with a clear policy and a steely will to do it.

Such people are almost extinct by now. That is the spirit of the nobles of the golden age.

Roland appreciates this kind of willpower as strong as steel. This unshakable belief in sticking to one's own beliefs has a remarkable charisma and leadership in itself. And for Akakaji. Roland just held a faint respect, but this did not prevent Roland from accepting the beneficial part of his opinion.

It is indeed time for Roland to change his mind-

But when Roland was thinking about how to ask Chikajika to demonstrate Banza's swordsmanship, he scratched his cheek and asked hesitantly, "That... little Roland, did you before? Said that Master Saya wanted to invite me over?"

Aha. You, the old man, finally remembered it... It's really big enough to wake up.

Roland couldn't help slandering.

"That's right," Roland said sternly, "Marquis Saya thinks Lord Count is suspected of being a cultist."

"...Cultists?"

Immediately, Akakaji Hana showed a surprised expression.

Even though there were not a lot of cultists gathered in Caral, it was truly incredible that you were still a cultist as an earl.

"Lord Marquis also doesn't believe it, but the whistleblower is unequivocal. He also listed some evidence for the Marquis to prove that this is indeed the gathering place of the 'Twilight Followers'-"

Just when Roland said this, Roland faintly felt that there was an extremely hidden wave behind him drifting slowly towards him.

That's the eye of the starry sky, the sorcery used by astrological wizards in surveillance and eavesdropping.

If it weren't for Roland's characteristics of a contact at dusk, he would have no sign of discovering it even with his perceptual attributes approaching the 30th mark. And Akakajika, who was opposite Roland, didn't even feel the difference.

Knowing that he was being eavesdropped by Edward, all words would reach Edward's ears, but Roland kept his voice low and said word by word: "Marquis Saya hopes that I can come here and find someone who can be in charge to explain to him. If the situation arises, we will cooperate with the Druids to arrest them.”

"...Even Duide was dispatched?"

Akakaji Hana's expression became solemn.

Roland nodded silently: "You'd better go out with me first and stay away from here first. I'm worried that this place may be cursed by cultists and perform some kind of eavesdropping or surveillance magic."

"Whatever, you decide."

Akakajika shrugged: "I'm just casual... But I think, if there really is someone, he should have left when he just heard your words."

"Probably. But that's fine too. At least a few fewer people die, right?"

Roland smiled slightly: "In any case, the people of Richero are innocent. If the cultists are really scared away because of my words, at least the civilians in this city can be protected from accidental death due to fighting."

"...Although I don't hate your thoughts. But..."

Akakajika sighed, swallowed the second half of the sentence, and then said after being silent for a while.

"This is a necessary evil. Salvation without sacrifice is meaningless, and there is no magic bullet in this world. If the cultists here succeed in escaping today, although the people in this city will not sacrifice, there will be people elsewhere. will die because of them."

Akakaka couldn't help sighing: "Little Roland. You are so kind. You are so kind to stupid."

In Roland's sentence, the focus of the topic shifted from "whether the Count has an affair with a cult" and "whether the cult exists" to "should the cult be let go". Akakajika may not have noticed it, or maybe he didn't care if he did, but Roland didn't take his opinion seriously.

"Then come with me, Lord Arsu."

"Wait. You wait for me to change my clothes... I just feel that the atmosphere here is not right, it's quiet and scary... This is really not a place to stay for a long time."

Yawning, Akakajika walked into her room a little bored. Roland breathed a sigh of relief and waited for him to come out at the door.

Akajika's words also reminded Roland. This place is really not a place to stay. Edward was staring at him from downstairs. Roland's learning of swordsmanship from this place was equivalent to exposing his abilities to him.

Roland has already exposed a mercury enchanting technique and an elf swordsmanship, which has satisfied Edward's speculation about Roland's progress~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Rather, being able to master elf swordsmanship in a month is already the limit of genius . Edward didn't know the existence of the system, and if Roland showed more outstanding talent, he would even

But by the same token, Roland couldn't tell Akakajihua about Edward directly. Now Roland's advantage is that he is in the dark, and Edward is in the light; Roland knows Edward's details, but Edward doesn't know that Roland already knows his own details.

After all, Akakaji Flower is just a golden rank looking for cornerstone elements, and he has not officially awakened to the origin. If Edward found that something was wrong and wanted to run, Roland had no confidence that he could stop him.

If Edward is wary of Roland, he will definitely use a more secretive and hard-to-find method the next time he plots against Roland. The only way is to let Edward go temporarily, and then take a decisive shot to kill Edward when Roland is sure to run over Edward to death in one breath.

This request is actually not difficult, as long as Kakarit returns to Roland, it is enough. (To be continued.)

PS: I'm asking for a ticket... By the way, the prototype of Akakaji Flower is the dragon-like Mashima (Tan Shou)
