Chapter 149: 2-26 Zero Seven Dispatched
When Roland joined the Holy See, he shared what he knew with everyone as a vote, although he was not an emperor and did not know much about what had happened, but he only needed to tell what he had experienced firsthand, and it was already very revealing.
The sacrificial tradition is said to be a secret, but in fact, many people know about it, but everyone is in a position of "no right to participate", so they can only watch the tragedy happen.
Even the Holy See has no right to intervene in this repeated tragedy, as Visa's exploits during the pioneering period have allowed it to maintain a high degree of autonomy, and no one has the right to intervene in their family affairs as long as they do not act against humanity and civilization.
"How could it be ......" Flanda heard Iroh say this, and instantly understood what they were worried about, Iroh was worried that Laudric would be sacrificed, so he made this decision.
"Knight." Once Flanda figured it out, she said, "We're going back now, right?" ”
"Yes, Your Highness, if we don't go back, no one will be able to save His Highness Lauderrick, and no one will be able to find out the truth." Iroh said.
"Then let's go now, this kind of thing can't be delayed." Flanda has no spare time to enjoy afternoon tea.
Mel was also ready, she glanced at Iroh and Flanda with some reluctance, and then gritted her teeth: "Then I'll go back and look for Zero Seven first, and I'll come to you after I find it, you have to wait for me!" Don't do anything out of the ordinary! ”
Iroh wasn't in the mood to complain about her right now, so after simply saying goodbye to her, he immediately looked at Flanda and waited for her next instructions.
"Let's go!" Flanda brushed her hair roughly, and hurried to the door without having time to put on perfume or wash her hair, ready to set off with Iroh.
Next.
The two of them arrived in the second town, and as they passed through the bustling city, Flanda, who liked to watch the excitement, tugged at Iroh's sleeve and motioned for him to stop.
Iroh paused slightly, then leaned over to Flanda and said to her, "Miss, we are in a hurry, and we have to go to save His Highness Lauderrick, so we can't waste time here." ”
Ai He changed his address to Eldest Lady because it would be difficult to explain if she was heard.
"You won't waste time just looking at it!" Flanda said stubbornly.
"Just at a glance?" Iroh asked.
"Yes, just at a glance." Flanda nodded.
"Then take a look." Arlo said as he picked up Flanda and slung it on his shoulder, then slowly walked towards the crowd.
"Ahh Flanda was about to exclaim when she was lifted up, but then she immediately covered her mouth to keep herself from making a sound.
She looked into the middle of the crowd, where a notice board appeared, and a sign that looked brand new was pasted on it.
"Miss, have you finished reading?" Iroh asked.
"......" Flanda did not speak.
"Miss? Fascinated? Iroh asked again.
"Knight." Flanda said softly, her voice a little solemn and sluggish, "Good news or bad news, which one do you listen to first?" ”
Iroh was stunned for a moment, then said, "Listen to the good news first." ”
"We have plenty of time, brother in the short term...... Prince Lauderrick is not in any danger. Flanda didn't say this in a happy tone, as if she had lost her feelings.
Iroh could almost guess how hard the bad news hit her, and it was unrecoverable.
"And what about the bad news?" Iroh continued to ask.
"In a month's time, Prince Lauderrick will be executed in public."
…… It seems that people are gathered in a circle, not to see any strange excitement, nor is it an art show or a monkey show.
It's just that this announcement is too bizarre and incomprehensible.
"Knight, it's time to let me down." Flanda poked Ello's cheek lightly, then said to a near-sluggish Ello.
“…… I'm sorry for being rude, Miss. Eloh immediately put Frenda down, and then he fell into deep thought again.
Flanda didn't dwell too much on this kind of thing, she was so anxious now that she was in no mood to be polite.
"We should still have a lot of time now, should we go straight to it, or do we make more preparations and wait and see?" She asked.
"There is more time to say, less or less, go to the royal capital to have a look, so as not to have an accident when the time comes." "By the way," said Iroh, "Mademoiselle, you can actually rest easy now, because His Majesty has no intention of executing Prince Lauderrick at all. ”
A flash of joy flashed in Flanda's eyes, and she hurriedly raised her head to look at Iroh: "What do you mean?" How do you judge? ”
"You don't have to wait a month to execute a person, contact what happened before, His Majesty the King is using Prince Lauderrick as bait, and that fish is your mother, Her Majesty the Queen." Iroh said.
Flanda immediately realized that if Lauderrick's life was threatened, the most worried and sad would definitely be her mother, so Iroh was right to judge that her father was fishing for her mother's fish.
"And now are we?"
"It's best if we can rescue Prince Lauderrick, and if not, wait until our new executor arrives. Now that there is plenty of time, there is no need to fight against the water. "Of course, if the best thing is to find Her Majesty the Queen and find out what the whole thing is, we are now in a state of confusion and there is no way to carry the mission forward." ”
"Okay." Flanda's heart, which had been hanging a little, relaxed a little, at least for a moment now, although it was unknown what would happen after that, but things were better than before.
"Then let's hurry first, lest we grind all the way, miss the opportunity, and let Her Majesty the Queen fall into the net." Eloh said to Flanda.
"Hmm!" Flanda grabbed Iroh's hand and galloped.
A few days passed.
Mel returned to the Templar See.
She didn't care about the paladin who was guarding the door to greet her, and rushed directly to Roland's room.
Roland was in a meeting with his demons, and when he noticed that someone had broken down the door, he immediately turned around and let the demons hide.
"Zero Seven!" Mel didn't know what Roland's name was, so he shouted out when he entered the door.
“…… What's the matter, Your Excellency Zerotwo, by the way, this is Zero-Seven's room, not Zero-One's room, and the door number outside the room says 07 instead of 01. Roland said to Mel.
"That's what I'm looking for!" Mel said.
That might be something serious. Roland complained in his heart, and then said, "Then what is the matter with Your Excellency Zero-2 looking for me?" ”
"Do you have time? Are there any tasks? We have a difficult mission in Visa, and it has something to do with the King of Visa, the King of Visa is going berserk and wants his daughter and wife at the same time, do you want to come and get involved? Mel came all the way and was still out of breath, she couldn't speak well, her words and sentences were not coherent, but Roland grasped the key message and didn't care about her words at all.
"I'll go talk to the Pope." A smile flashed in Roland's eyes, but it was not because of joy, but because of an arrogant grin.
