Chapter 44: Our Respective Responsibilities
The Shadow Inheritance's Castle of the Night's Watch, in an unknown room. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You waste, what's the use of giving me two corpses?" A man's shouting voice came from it, which was mixed with incomparable anger and anxiety: "It's been more than a month, and the two people who escaped still haven't been found?" ”
"Subordinate...... The subordinates were incompetent, and it seemed that someone was secretly helping them to get out, and we were greatly hindered, and followed the trail all the way to the east coast, and then, and then ......"
The answer was a female voice, and although there was almost no emotion in her indifferent voice, it was still full of fear and uneasiness.
"And then? And then you won't be able to find them again?! ”
A violent collision came from the room, and the sound of the angry interrogator pouring out his anger on the woman in front of him, but there was no other sound than the collision.
"Subordinate, subordinate must do their best to find ......"
"What's the use of going to find it now! As you said earlier, someone secretly helped them get out, so why didn't you report this matter to me earlier? The man's voice was full of a piercing chill, "If I report this matter of your decision-making, I guess the adults will make you- life is better than death, right?" ”
"Ask for ...... Please, no, don't ......"
After hearing the man say this, the woman who was originally fearless suddenly became frightened as if she had changed person, as if the "adult" in the man's mouth was a terrible demon, and she was afraid from the bottom of her heart.
"Rubbish!" After the man scolded angrily, he also calmed down, "Someone helps them...... That means that the death of the Tammyhill couple may have been known by others? ”
“……”
"Use all the power you can to find it! If you want to see people in life, and you want to see corpses in death, I can tell you first, if you ruin your plans because of this. The man's voice was suddenly covered with a layer of frost, with a bone-chilling cold, "You'd better kill yourself directly and apologize!" ”
"Subordinates, subordinates understand!"
The other side.
Headquarters of the Knights of the Night Watch at the Night Castle of the Land of Shadows, in the Commander-General's Palace.
The commander-in-chief sat behind his desk, processing the standing documents sent from all over the country, but asked in a low voice a question that seemed to have little to do with the Chinese document in hand.
"Can you be sure that the two of them are safe?"
"Not yet." Arak stood silently in the shadows in the corner, "The girl was in a very bad state of mind at the time, and I had to relay the plan to the boy, but then I went to the east coast to confirm that the fishermen of the families said that they did not carry a man and a woman like that. ”
"Something unexpected happened, didn't it?" The commander-in-chief raised his head, and his fierce gaze fell directly on Arak, "It didn't fall into their hands, did it?" ”
"I've checked with the insider, but no." Arak bowed slightly, "But we've found some signs of fighting on the cliffs, and we've found two bodies on the edge of a more secluded cave on the edge of the eastern coast. ”
"Corpses? What kind of corpse? ”
"In addition to weapons, there are no identification markers on the two of them, and the clothes they wear are also the most ordinary things, so there is no way to find out, but it is certain that the two of them were killed in one move."
"In other words, didn't those two children do it......" The Commander muttered for a moment, then commanded, "Anyway, we'd better find their whereabouts before the Raven Guards, if we can find them, we won't be as passive as we are now." ”
"My subordinates understand, I must do my best!"

After eating the hot pot, Altini climbed back into his bed with a satisfied face.
He never imagined that just a change in the cooking method would be able to turn pork that could only be used for barbecue into such a delicious taste, especially when dipped in a mild sauce, it is simply impossible to describe how delicious it is.
Different from Altini who was lying on the bed and standing up, Wen Wen silently cleaned up the pots and pans on the table alone, because usually Altini cooks and washes dishes alone, so this time Wen Wen finally found a chance to do something, after all, every time he let him do these miscellaneous things alone, Wen Wen's heart is also very unhappy.
Because every time Altini cooks, he eats.
"I say, mildly." Altini's lazy voice floated out of the bedroom, "Where did you learn this way of eating meat?" ”
"My hometown." Wen Wen kept moving his hands and replied, "In my hometown, this way of eating is called shabu-shabu, and it is a very popular way to eat, not only meat, but also seafood." ”
"Seafood? If that kind of cheap ingredient is also so shabu-shabu, it feels good, I really envy the people in your hometown, you can eat such delicious things every day. Altini rolled over, "Where is your home, I must go to your place in the future to stay for a while and eat enough." ”
"My family......"
Altini's unintentional words once again evoked the "memory of his past life" in Wen Wen's heart, and naturally reminded him of the question of how he got home.
Wen gently shook his head, left alone in this strange world, without Ai Ruo's help, I am afraid that he has become a fertilizer to nourish the trees in the pale woodland, and now Ai Ruo has been taken away and life and death are uncertain, if she is not rescued, even if she returns to the earth world, the rest of her life may be spent in self-blame and remorse.
Seeing that Wen Wen outside the house did not respond, Altini gently got up from the bed, crept to the bedroom door and looked out, and then saw Wen Wen's somewhat lonely back in the kitchen.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Altini always felt that he couldn't just let him be in a gentle daze, so he walked behind him and patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Hey, what's wrong with you?" ”
As if awakened, Wen Wen trembled for a moment, then turned his head to look at Altini beside him and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just that I was distracted just now." ”
"Is it because I asked where your home is?" Altini lowered his head and said with some embarrassment, "I apologize if it brings back bad memories for you." ”
"No, it's not, it's just that I thought of my own responsibilities at that moment, and I was a little distracted." Wen hurriedly shook his head and responded, "You go and rest for a while, I'll come here by myself." ”
After being brought back by Gentleness, Altini also sat on the bed in a daze, and Gentleness said "his own responsibility", which also reminded him of some unhappy things, bound by the family's mission and forced to give up everything he had, and came to this knight academy that he didn't like.
In the final analysis, it is precisely because of the word "responsibility".
