Chapter 91: The Mist
Two hours had passed by the time Roland and Akajika made their way through the crowd to find Marquis Saya.
It's not that they didn't bother to look for it, but the main thing is that Marquis Saya didn't bring out with his entourage. It's never easy to find someone on the move in a quarter of a city.
Moreover, in such a crowded crowd, Roland and the two of them even had a hard time moving, and occasionally because of Roland's high perception, they accidentally found a few survivors, and then dug them out from under the wreckage of the building.
Such behavior undoubtedly delayed them a lot of time. But neither Roland nor Akajira complained about this.
Although Roland could see that an extremely anxious look had appeared on Akaji's face, he did not have the slightest sloppiness towards those who were rescued. Even every time he rescued a person, his eyes gave off a dazzling light as if he had been saved.
Perhaps in his opinion, these people are suffering because of themselves. Akajika's big rough hands used to hold various weapons are also extremely calm when used to move bricks at the moment. Roland pointed out that someone had survived, so he walked over in three steps and two steps, reached out and lifted the stones one by one, and placed them steadily behind him.
Although both of them knew that if Roland could use magic magic, it would greatly improve the efficiency of the rescue, but Akajika never made such a rude request to Roland.
Because he also knew that this was tantamount to putting Roland in danger. To put it mildly, he really knew the Carrals too well. Even if he and Roland had rescued these people with their own hands, there would have been some kind of Karal who would have sold Roland to some passing druid.
The simplicity of the Caral people is limited to their own people. in their heads. It seems that there is such a strange way of thinking that foreigners are not human.
Therefore, even if Akajika understands that if Roland can expand the realm like yesterday. Neither the speed of finding the victims nor the efficiency of excavation will be exponentially improved, and he has never thought of it that way.
Driven by some kind of inexplicable guilt. He subconsciously developed a certain desire to protect Roland.
It can also be said that he regarded Roland as his friend, his guest.
That is the "respectful" culture that the mountain people are proud of. Those who are provided with food and drink by the Fararowians are considered their guests, and the Fararowians have an obligation to protect the lives of their guests.
This act of dividing passers-by and friends into a deep line has made these honest fat men popular all over the world. There may be people who like a selfless person as a friend, but no one will refuse a friend who thinks about you everywhere and sincerely protects you.
This is the deepest routine and the deepest wisdom of mountain culture.
Treat each other with sincerity and return an eye for an eye. The secret of the Fararowians' weakness and weakness lies here.
But they also have their own shortcomings, that is, they are easy to fall into the main. Or to put it more explicitly. They are easily deceived, and therefore afraid of being deceived. On the contrary, they are more likely to be deceived.
Roland and Farina's layout is centered around this. There is no doubt that the protagonist here at this moment is Akajiha, not Roland.
His every move involves the life and death of the people around him. One of his thoughts could even determine whether Richero existed or not.
Roland remembers very well that in these two hours, Akajika rescued a total of nine people. It took more than an hour to dig them up, clean and bandage them with Roland, and then set them up.
Therefore, it can be said that it was pure luck that they were able to find the Marquis of Saya before noon. At the time of seeing them. Marquis Saya couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
"Arsu, if Roland comes out, ...... like this"
His gaze paused on Akajika for a moment, then focused on Roland. frowned slightly: "...... No problem? ”
"Yes."
Akajika stepped forward, stared at Marquis Saya with burning eyes, and said, "I think there was a big problem with our previous thinking. ”
"This is a letter from you in the morning. The wax seal has a golden vine ornament, which is supposed to have been sent by the Grand Druid. Roland handed the sealed letter to the Marquis of Saya from his bosom, "Although it is rude for me to do so. But the situation is urgent, and there is a good chance that there will be some key information in this letter...... I think you're going to be too busy to get home, so I'm going to have to let you see this letter now. ”
These words were discussed between Roland and Akajika before.
They decided to send the letter to Malnos to see his reaction and then comment on whether he was innocent or not.
However, if the red oak flowers were handed to Marnos, their intentions would have been too obvious. Roland's letter to him, although this kind of behavior of putting private letters in his pocket that no one else has read is still rude and may provoke some people, but it is much milder than Akaji's behavior of directly giving him the letter and questioning it.
The letter is not long. Taking advantage of the Marquis of Saya to read the letter, Akajihua told Marquis Saya all the inferences that Roland told him word by word, because there were ordinary people around, so they could only adopt a slightly more cautious statement, and did not dare to mix more sensitive words such as "plague" and "pollution" in their words. But Marquis Saya obviously heard what the red tree flower meant, and for a while, he couldn't help frowning.
"That's right, you're right."
Contrary to Akaji's expectations, Marquis Saya put down the letter, folded it repeatedly and put it in his chest pocket, and simply admitted his mistake: "It's my problem." It is very likely that Roland is just a cover, there is no point in keeping him in place, and a strong person needs to be assigned to keep an eye on him, so it is better to let him join the investigation. ”
With that, he turned his gaze to Roland: "How, Roland?" Do you agree? ”
"My pleasure."
Roland bowed slightly in salute, his tone sincere.
Marquis Saya nodded with satisfaction, handed the key to Arsu, and his face was solemn: "Then, let's go to the No. 2 warehouse to check those new medical items first." You go first, and I'll go and chase you out when I've pacified this side. ”
"Then we'll go first."
Roland nodded, and left the crowd with Arsu, who was obviously a little confused.
"Roland, he's ......"
"Actually, we guessed right. This incident is related to the Marquis of Sayya. ”
Roland spoke in a low voice as he walked, interrupting Akaji's question in a calm voice: "Don't you think he's too calm?" Think about it, how emotional you were when you read that letter, was it emotional and unbelievable? ”
“…… Right. ”
"So, that's the biggest loophole."
Although Roland said this, he already knew it in his heart.
Two things can be confirmed - Marquis Saya does not fully understand Farina, and he is also one of the people who was manipulated by Farina. But although Roland had just learned that Marquis Saya was innocent in this incident, now in order to prevent Akajihua's thinking from being confused and guessing everywhere, he could only temporarily put this pot in Malnos's face.
The second thing is that the Marquis of Saya has found out that Roland and Akajihua have read his letter.
He confirmed that Roland had no idea how this worked. Maybe there is something on the letter that can only be triggered when someone looks at it for the first time? Or is it a special piece of paper that marks the fingertips of people who have touched the letter?
In short, after seeing the Marquis of Saya glancing at him after reading the letter, Roland's intuition told him very clearly that the Marquis of Saya definitely knew that the two of them had read the letter. But even so, he still gently and calmly let Roland and Akajihua come to the second warehouse.
Did he know in advance that there was something in the second warehouse that would prove his innocence? Or did he think there was absolutely no chance that there would be anything in the second warehouse that could be planted for him? Or is there something here that can solve Roland and Akaji?
What is it......
Roland frowned, thinking desperately.
He always felt as if he had forgotten something important.
At this moment, Roland and Akajika walked to the second warehouse. (To be continued.) )
