Blood of Mercury

Akakajika's voice was hoarse and low: "I can't trust Lord Marquis... He knows too much. It disturbs me."

"I wasn't in such a hurry, and I was even in the mood to teach you swordsmanship, but Roland, what you said later woke me up. That's right, it's useless to arrest the undead - our wise Marquis can't understand this. thing."

"Then can I understand that what the Marquis wants to do is not to prevent the undead from casting the plague?"

Roland shook his head slightly.

Akakaji Hana has fallen into Farina's trap. That letter, which he shouldn't have seen, was terribly misleading.

Because "theoretically" Akakajihua didn't have the chance to see the letter, and he obtained the letter through special means, Akakajihua subconsciously believed that the information in the letter was true.

People always believe in themselves. They will believe the facts proven by themselves, the evidence found by themselves, and they will believe that seeing is believing, no matter how absurd the reasons may be.

It's not seeing believing, it's just preconceived notions.

A classic scam.

Roland had already seen a corner of the big net woven by Farina through Akakaka, who was looking tired at the moment.

As long as you know that Akakajika is her chosen pawn, you will find the thread.

Farina's plan is actually quite simple. Combining these events, Roland can easily deduce that Akakajika didn't know what role Marquis Saya played in this incident at first, but Marquis Saya had a certain understanding of Akakaji from the beginning.

Since they haven't met, it means that this understanding was guided by Farina. Just like Roland, Marquis Saya's "collaborator" was designated by Farina from the beginning.

Since Farina designated Akakaji Flower, it means that she must have a certain degree of understanding of him. Akakajika looks like a sunny but suspicious person, otherwise he would not be able to become the secretary of the Peace Council, and he would not be able to fight back against the devil who traded with him.

From another point of view, since Akakajihua will choose to trade with the devil, it means that he is not the kind of honest and good person, and his cleverness is definitely not purely for others.

So. Driven him to be a bodyguard of an unknown person, with the mentality of protecting herself as the top priority, Akakajika will definitely find a way to investigate the information of her master to ensure that she will not get on the pirate ship and be calculated by others. shield.

Because Roland was captured and some information about the plague was obtained from Marquis Saya. With the idea of ​​​​preventing problems before they happen, Akakajika will definitely patrol at night and arrange some devices that are enough to prevent Roland from escaping, and this will take all night or most of the night. The carrier pigeons that Farina sent in the middle of the night or in the early hours of the morning would definitely be intercepted by Akakaji Hana - without anyone seeing it.

This kind of information that should have been invisible, obtained through hard work and used many means, will always make people believe it subconsciously. Roland has been tricked by Farina like this once before. That [Falina's Diary] is undoubtedly one of the products of this routine.

With Akakaji Hana's character, if he completely believed the letter sent by Farina, then he would ponder the meaning of it word by word. He would easily think too much, and then would have a very strong suspicion and hostility towards Marquis Saya.

As for what Farina wanted to get after the hostility developed, Roland couldn't analyze this part. The information he got can only support his analysis up to this point.

"Arsu," Roland said with a serious face. "I might call you that...if you trust me, I'd like to see that letter."

"Of course, Roland. Of course I trust you..."

Akakajika took out the letter from her arms with a wry smile, and a small knife about the size of a toothpick as long as her little finger was short. The wax seal of the letter is intact. No sign of disassembly at all.

And as soon as his wrist was turned, the wax seal on the letter was skillfully cut open, without hurting the paper in the slightest.

Then, he took the letter out of it and gave it to Roland.

Roland took a closer look and immediately determined that this was indeed Farina's handwriting. This is the handwriting on the letter of introduction she gave to herself at the beginning.

While Roland was reading the letter, he continued, his voice hoarse and low: "I can't trust Lord Marquis... He knows too much. This disturbs me."

"I had already sent a letter to the guild on Titan's side before I came back in the morning, hoping they could send someone to come to support... I thought it would take a lot of time. But. Roland, your words reminded me... I didn't arrest the undead. Any use - but as wise as the Marquis, he can't be ignorant of this. So can I understand that what the Marquis wants to do is not to prevent the undead from casting the plague?"

"Because I didn't exist in his plan...I was thinking. Maybe he asked you to eradicate that devil not just to kill the devil, but to let outsiders like you and me be killed by the devil And we killed the devil, he had to find an excuse to separate us from the investigation. For example, put you under house arrest and let me do some pointless labor. When the plague broke out, you and I It's a witness to his innocence."

Akakajihua's eyes were full of exhaustion: "Tell me. He was waiting for me to come back for breakfast before, which means he is at home. But why did he rush over without even telling me when the messenger came? go out?"

"I can only think that he wanted to arrive at the scene before us. But what is this for? To destroy the evidence?"

Akakaji Hana is stuck in a dead end. He was troubled by it.

Roland had just read the letter at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little more puzzled.

Unlike Akakaji Flower, he did not pay attention to the text - what attracted his attention was the sentence left by Farina at the end: "...Lord Marnos, I will keep my promise to the I swear by the name of glory."

What promises Farina has to Marnos is not surprising to Roland. What he wondered was the meaning of the sentence "Swear in the name of glory" at the end of Farina.

What does she want to do? What is the motivation? What will she do?

But at this moment, Roland suddenly sounded an alarm bell in his heart.

- Do not overestimate.

Take precautions against the woman Farina... Maybe she just expected that Akakajika would send the letter to Roland and leave some words in it that misled Roland's thinking.

Roland shook his head, dispelling his previous speculations about this sentence. But a question still remained in Roland's heart - what exactly is [Glory]?

No, before that, there is one more thing to confirm...

Roland returned the letter to Chikajika, and while watching him restore the wax seal on the letter with skill, he asked softly, "Arsu, I have something to ask you."

Hearing this, his actions paused.

"What?" Arsu replied hoarsely.

"If—I mean if, these people were really infected by the plague, what would you do?"

"Do you still need to ask?"

Akakaji Hana's movements stopped completely.

He seemed to be tired~www.wuxiaspot.com~ maintained a movement for a while, and then said lightly: "Of course it is to purify this place."

"They're going to die sooner or later, hopelessly, and I can only make them suffer a little less."

Akakajika lowered her head, her voice lost the vigorous upward momentum, but the hoarseness gradually receded.

Roland could not see his expression, but heard his increasingly calm voice: "For Ferraro, for Titan—for the country that gave birth to me and the country that raised me, for my parents, my brother... I must Contain and eliminate the infected."

"Beautiful consciousness."

Roland nodded in agreement. Hearing this, Akakajika finally raised her head, with a thin and fragile smile on her face: "Ah... I like this sentence. For the sake of reading this sentence, I will protect you. I can."

"Then, I will pray for you."

Roland smiled and replied, "Our brave man. Brave Alsu." (To be continued.)
