Leo was not mistaken, his former bodyguard, Ada, or Darwin, sat there, looking at him calmly, as quiet as a statue.

"Long time no see, Leo."

"For a long time?" Leo took a deep breath and sat down in the chair across from Darwin, "If I'm not mistaken, we've only been apart for a few days." ”

Although it was daytime, the light in the room with the doors and windows closed was still a little dim, and Bela, who was standing behind Leo, hesitated for a moment, walked to the wall and pushed open the window, and the bright sunlight shone in, making the hall instantly brighter.

Leo finally saw Darwin's face clearly, and as he remembered, Darwin's face was still so calm at the moment, like a silent iceberg.

However, Leo was still keenly aware of the difference between Darwin and the previous one, and although he had only been seen for a few days, a very subtle change had taken place in Darwin's body, the most conspicuous being the meniscus on the forehead of the Templar warrior.

This is not the first time Leo has seen this emblem, the last time Leo saw it was in the Victory Palace, when it was still embedded on the forehead of another person, and that person was Bela's guardian knight Gamelo.

But Gamelo was dead, and the emblem that was supposed to be on Gamelo's forehead appeared on Darwin's forehead, and it didn't take any words to explain it, and Leo could guess what had happened.

"Gamelo was killed by you?"

Darwin nodded silently, and the eyes of the Templar Warrior were firmly fixed on Leo's body without the slightest movement, as if his gaze could disappear from his face in an instant.

Leo hadn't spoken yet, but Bella behind her couldn't stand it anymore, she looked at Darwin with a pretty face: "You shameful traitor, why did you kill Gamelo so cruelly?" ”

Bela has no way not to be angry, it is true that she has always only regarded Gamelo as a friend, and has never had any feelings for Gamelo, and has always rejected Gamelo's love very firmly, but this does not mean that she will be indifferent to the loss of Gamelo's friend, let alone that she will forget Gamelo's life-saving grace to him.

The expression on Darwin's face moved slightly, his gaze slowly moved to Bella's body, and he said in a hoarse and somewhat dry voice, "Because he deserves to die." ”

"He's damned?" Bella laughed angrily: "If a person with a chivalry like Gamelo is worthy of death, then what are you, a great hero who kills an honest knight?" ”

Darwin coughed, and his speech became much smoother: "Your Royal Highness, maybe you only have the guardian knight who saved your life in your heart, but the Gamelo I saw was a dark apostle who killed at least twenty vengeful brotherhood brothers, thirty Spany Empire round-up masters, and hundreds of Imperial civilians. ”

"What?" Leo and Bella changed color at the same time, and Bella lost her voice and said: "You are talking nonsense, Gamelo, he is not this kind of person at all!" ”

To Bela's surprise, Darwin nodded and said, "Your Royal Highness, what you said is not wrong, Gamelo is indeed not this kind of person." But what if it was a dark apostle who had been lured into darkness by the children of darkness, and whose mind was full of nothing but killing? ”

Bella opened her mouth, suddenly finding herself speechless.

In fact, it was not unclear that she had seen Gamelo's fall, and in the Palace of Victory on the celebration day, Bella saw with her own eyes how Gamelo, who had become a dark apostle, used the power of the moon to fight Duke Lean. But in Bela's heart, she was not willing to accept the fact that the once upright guardian knight had now completely degenerated into a killing machine, and had lost his life as a result.

She stood there in a daze, as if she had lost all her strength all at once.

Leo sighed and reached out to take Bella's hand.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

After a while, it was Leo who spoke first: "Ahda, I heard that you are now mixed with the Entropy Demon, and it seems that you are mixing well. ”

The corners of Darwin's mouth twitched slightly, as if revealing a smile: "Actually, you may not know that when Lord Entropy established the Brotherhood of Vengeance, I was the first person to join the Brotherhood. ”

"What?" Leo was shocked again, and looked at Darwin with surprised eyes: "I didn't expect you to be the patriarch of the Brotherhood of Vengeance... Okay, since the Entropy Demon sent you, then it shouldn't be for you to sit here with me to catch up, so if you have something to say, just say it. ”

Darwin paused for a moment and said, "Today's arrow... If you don't dodge, then you should be shot in the thigh. ”

Leo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Darwin deeply: "I understand... I don't blame you. ”

Darwin let out a sigh of relief, and seemed to be relieved by Leo's words: "Actually, I'm here to be a lobbyist for Lord Entropy. ”

"Lobbyist?" Leo looked at Darwin: "Or about those proposals he made the other day?" ”

"That's right." Darwin nodded, "I hope you understand that Lord Entropy is not the kind of heretic who has fallen into darkness, nor is he the kind of obsessive fanatic, everything he has done from beginning to end has been for the future of the Church of Light." ”

"Really?" Leo shrugged his shoulders and gave a nonsensical expression: "To be honest, I really haven't seen that yet. ”

A breeze suddenly blew in from outside the open door, blowing up the fine dust that had accumulated on the table top because it had not been tended for several days, like a gust of wind and sand, fluttering to the ground.

Darwin's gaze followed this fine cloud of dust, and his mood seemed to be fluttering in mid-air like these dust, and even the words he said were a little ethereal: "Enhil is dead, the mission of the Brotherhood of Vengeance has been completed, but we don't want to continue to sink to the bottom of the church, we want to use our power to contribute to the spread of light in the world, is this also wrong?" ”

As he spoke, Darwin's voice suddenly became urgent: "Leo, as long as you agree to the conditions of Lord Entropy, our Vengeful Brotherhood will become your most solid backing, and no one will oppose your ascension to the Pope's throne, isn't that enough?" Promise me, promise our cooperation, is that okay? ”

There was another long silence, and even the air seemed to become a little stagnant.

Leo let out a long sigh and shook his head gently.

"I'm sorry, Ada, but I can't promise you."
