Akajika's voice was hoarse and deep: "I can't trust Lord Marquis...... He knew too much. This disturbs me. ”

"I wasn't in such a hurry to even be in the mood to teach you slashing swordsmanship, but Roland, your later words woke me up at once. Yes, there is no use in arresting the undead - our wise Marquis cannot be unaware of this. ”

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

Roland shook his head slightly.

Akajika has fallen into Farina's trap. The letter that he shouldn't have seen was a perfect misleading.

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

People will always believe in themselves. They will believe what they have proved, what they have found, no matter how ridiculous the reasons may be.

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

A classic scam.

Roland had already seen the corner of the large net woven by Falina through the red oak flower, which looked tired at the moment.

As long as she knew that Akajika was the chess piece she chose, she found the thread.

Farina's plan was actually quite simple. Considering these events, Roland can easily deduce that Akajika did not know what role Marquis Saya played in this incident at first, while Marquis Saya had a certain understanding of Akajihua from the beginning.

Since they hadn't met, it meant that this understanding was led by Farina. Just like Roland. The Marquis of Sayya's "collaborators" were designated by Falina from the beginning.

Since Falina designated the red oak flower, it means that she must have a certain level of understanding about him. This person looks sunny, but in fact he is suspicious. Otherwise, he would not be able to become the clerk of the Peace Council, let alone kill the devil who made a deal with him.

And from another point of view. Since Akajika chooses to make a deal with the devil, it means that he is not the kind of honest and good man, and his cleverness is definitely not purely for others.

Then, drive him to be the bodyguard of a person whose details are unknown, and in the psychology of protecting himself as the top priority, Akajika will inevitably find a way to investigate the information of his master's family to ensure that he will not be counted as a shield on the thief ship.

Since he had captured Roland and received some information about the plague from the Marquis of Sayya, he would definitely patrol at night with the idea that the red tree flower would be precautionary. and set up some devices to prevent Roland from escaping, which would take all night or most of the night. The carrier pigeons sent by Falina in the middle of the night or early in the morning were bound to be intercepted by the red tree - without anyone seeing it.

This kind of information that should not be seen through hard struggle and using a lot of means will always make people subconsciously believe it. Roland has been cheated by Falina once before, and that [Falina's Diary] is undoubtedly one of the products of this routine.

With Akajika's character, if he fully believed the letter sent by Farina, then he would have pondered the meaning word by word. He will easily think too much, and then he will have a very strong suspicion and hostility towards the Marquis of Sayya.

As for what Falina wanted after the hostility, Roland couldn't analyze this part. The information he got could only support his analysis so far.

"Arsu." Roland said with a serious face. "I might call you that...... If you believe me, I'd love to see that letter. ”

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

With a wry smile, Akajika took out the letter from her bosom, as well as a knife the length of a little thumb and the thickness of a toothpick. The wax seal of the letter is intact. There is no trace of it being dismantled.

And as soon as he turned his wrist, the wax seal on the letter was cleverly cut open, and it did not hurt the surface of the paper in the slightest.

And then. He took the letter from it and handed it to Roland.

Roland took a closer look. It was immediately certain that this was indeed Farina's handwriting. The letter of introduction she handed to herself at the beginning was written like this.

The kung fu of reading letters at Roland. He then spoke, his voice hoarse and low, "I can't trust Lord Marquis...... He knew too much. This disturbs me. ”

"Before I came back in the morning, I sent a letter to the guild on Titan's side, hoping that they would send someone to help...... I thought there would be a lot of time. But, Roland, your words remind me...... Arresting the undead was of no use—but a wise man like the Marquis could not have been unaware of this. So can I understand that what the Marquis wants to do is not to stop the undead from throwing the plague? ”

"Because I didn't exist in his plan...... I was thinking, maybe his purpose in asking you to eradicate that devil was not just to kill the devil, but to let you and outsiders like me be killed by the devil? And we killed the devil, and he had to find an excuse to separate us from the investigation. For example, putting you under house arrest and making me do some meaningless labor. When the plague breaks out, you and I will be witnesses of his innocence. ”

Akajika's eyes were full of exhaustion: "You told me that he was waiting for me to come back for breakfast, which means that he is at home." But why did he rush out without even having time to notify me as soon as the herald came? ”

"I can only assume that he wanted to get there before we did. But what is it for? For the sake of destroying evidence? ”

Akajika is stuck in a dead end. He was distressed by this.

Roland had just finished reading the letter at this time, and he couldn't help but have a little more doubts in his heart.

Unlike Akaji, he didn't focus on the text - what caught his attention was the sentence left by Falina at the end: "...... Lord Malenos, I will remember my promise and swear in the name of glory. ”

It's no surprise that Falina had some promise to Malenos, Roland. He wondered what Farina's ending phrase "swear by glory" meant.

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

But at this moment, Roland's heart suddenly sounded the alarm.

- Don't over-speculate.

Be wary of this woman, Farina...... Maybe she expected that Akajika would give Roland the letter, and left something in it that misled Roland's direction.

Roland shook his head, dispelling many of his previous speculations about this sentence. But a question remained in Roland's mind - what was the [glory]?

No, before that, there's one more thing to confirm......

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

Hearing this, his movements paused.

"What?" Arsu replied in a hoarse voice.

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

"Do you need to ask?"

Akajika's movements stop completely.

As if he was tired, he maintained a movement and rested for a while before he said lightly: "Of course it's to purify here." ”

"Sooner or later, they will die hopelessly, and I can only make them suffer a little less."

Akajika lowered her head, her voice losing that vigorous upward momentum, but the hoarseness gradually receded.

Roland couldn't see his expression, but heard his voice sounding quieter and calmer: "For Fararuo, for Titan—for the country that gave birth to me and for the country that raised me, for my parents, for my brother...... I have to contain and purge the infected. ”

"Beautiful enlightenment."

Roland nodded approvingly. Hearing this, Akajika finally raised her head, and a thin and fragile smile appeared on her face: "Ah...... I love this quote. For the sake of this sentence, I will protect you. Do the best I can. ”

"Well, then, I will pray for you."

Roland smiled and replied, "Our brave." Arsu the Brave. (To be continued.) )
