In the face of Roland's thanks, Akajika just waved her hand casually.

"Oops...... Don't be so formal, I'm sorry. That's what I said, you just heard it and forgot about it. You still have to walk your own way, no matter how good I say, it's useless. ”

With that, his expression became lazy again. He reached out and scratched the scar on the corner of his eye, and his tone became heavier: "That...... Little Roland, I say it again, you must forget what I just said, I mean it. I'm just here to point out your shortcomings, not to say, 'Ah, you're absolutely fine with that.'" I don't promise you anything, but I dare say that if you accept my advice in its entirety, it will do more harm than good. ”

"I'll judge well, Your Excellency."

Roland replied earnestly.

"Ah...... That's good. ”

Seeing Roland, who had always maintained a humble attitude, the corners of her mouth inadvertently curled slightly, and then she was immediately pressed down. But the smile at that moment was accurately captured by Roland.

Suddenly, Roland's heart that had been secretly hanging finally let go.

Akajika is known for her changeable personality, and those who are not familiar with him will think that she is a difficult person to get along with. But in fact, this person is very easy to understand.

The biggest contradiction in this person is that he is obviously a rather casual person, but he is very disgusted that other people do not follow the rules.

Because for Akajihua, the right thing is the right thing, and when you tell him about the right thing, you must not be hippie and smile, otherwise although he doesn't show it on his face, he will think that this person is unreliable.

But Roland doesn't really like the person of Red Oak Flower. It's not because of his usual sissy, it's not because of his violent aesthetics, or even because of Akaji's somewhat pretentious character. It's because Roland is inherently at odds with him.

That kind of prodigal son-like free personality is undoubtedly synonymous with irresponsibility in Roland's view. The violent impulse that Akakaji tried so hard to suppress but could not suppress was even more disgusting to Roland.

Compared to the red oak flower. Roland preferred his disciple Arthur or the Marquis of Saya.

In Roland's opinion, people like them can be regarded as real nobles.

They define for themselves the meaning of their birth, the meaning of their own lives. And take it as a lifelong belief and firmly believe it. They are never confused, never hesitate, no matter what kind of situation they face in life, they will go all out to achieve their set goals in life, with a clear policy, with a hard and iron will.

Such people are probably extinct long ago. That was the spirit of the aristocracy of the Golden Age.

Roland admired this steel-strong will. This unwavering belief in one's beliefs has a remarkable appeal and leadership in itself. As for the red oak flower, Roland only has a faint sense of respect, but this does not prevent Roland from accepting the beneficial part of his view.

It's really time for Roland to change his mind-

But just as Roland was thinking about how to open his mouth and ask Akajika to demonstrate Bansa's slashing swordsmanship. He scratched his cheek and asked with some hesitation, "That...... Little Roland, did you say before that Master Saya wanted to invite me over? ”

Aha, your old man finally remembered...... It's really angry enough to get up.

Roland couldn't help but sneer.

"That's right," Roland said, "Marquis Saya thinks that Lord Count is suspected of being a cultist. ”

“…… Cultists? ”

Suddenly, Akajika showed a surprised expression.

Even if there are not a few cultists gathered in Carral, the situation of being a count or a cultist is really incredible.

"The Marquis also does not believe it, but the whistleblower is conclusive. He also gave the Marquis some evidence. To prove that this is indeed a gathering place for the 'Followers of Twilight'—"

Just as Roland said this, Roland faintly felt that there was an extremely hidden fluctuation behind him slowly drifting towards him.

It was the Eye of the Stars, the sorcery used by astrowizards in their surveillance and eavesdropping.

If it weren't for Roland's characteristics as a dusk contact, there would have been no sign of discovery with his perceptual attributes approaching the thirty mark. And the red tree flower opposite Roland didn't even feel anything unusual.

Knowing that he was being eavesdropped on by Edward, all words would reach Edward's ears, but Roland still kept his voice down. Word by word, he said: "Marquis Saya hopes that I can come here to find someone who can take care of things to explain the situation to him, and then cooperate with the Governors to arrest him." ”

“…… Did even Doyd go out? ”

Akajika's expression became solemn.

Roland nodded silently: "You'd better go out with me first." Stay away from here. I'm afraid this place may be cursed by cultists, using some kind of eavesdropping or surveillance magic. ”

"Whatever. You decide. ”

Akajika shrugged: "I'm casual...... But I think if anyone really has anybody, he should have left when he first heard you. ”

"Probably. But that's fine, at least it will kill fewer people, won't it? ”

Roland smiled slightly: "No matter what, the people of Richero are innocent. If the cultists were really scared away by my words, at least they would have been able to save the civilians of the city from accidentally dying in battle. ”

“…… I don't hate your thoughts, but ....... ”

Akajika sighed, swallowed back the second half of the sentence, and continued after a moment of silence.

"This is a necessary evil. Salvation without sacrifice is meaningless, and there is no perfect law in this world. If the cultists here manage to escape today, although the people of this city will not be sacrificed, there will be people from other places who will die because of them. ”

Red Kajihua couldn't help but sigh: "Little Roland, you are so kind. It's just kind to stupidity. ”

Under Roland's words, the focus of the topic shifted from "whether the Count had an affair with the cultists" and "whether the cultists existed" to "whether the cultists should be let go". Akajika may not have found it, maybe she didn't care if she found it, and Roland didn't take his opinion seriously anyway.

"Then come with me, Lord Arsu."

"Wait a minute. You wait for me to get dressed...... It just so happens that I also feel that the atmosphere here is not right, and the silence is scary...... This is not the place to stay for long. ”

Yawning, Akajika walked into her room a little bored. Roland breathed a sigh of relief and waited for him to come out at the door.

Red Kajihua's words also gave Roland a wake-up call. This is not a place to stay for long. Edward was staring at him downstairs, and Roland's learning swordsmanship from this place was tantamount to exposing his abilities to him.

Roland had already exposed a mercury enchantment technique and an elven swordsmanship, which had satisfied Edward's speculation about Roland's progress.

It's better to say that being able to master elven swordsmanship in a month is already the limit of genius. Edward didn't know that the system existed, and even if Roland showed even more exceptional talent

But in the same way, Roland can't tell Edward about Akajika directly. Now Roland's advantage is that he is in the shadows, and Edward is in the light; Roland knew Edward's details, and Edward did not know that Roland already knew his own details.

Now, after all, Akajika is just a golden rank looking for the cornerstone element, and he has not officially awakened to the origin. If Edward realizes that something is wrong and wants to run, Roland has no confidence to stop him.

If Edward is wary of Roland, the next time he calculates Roland, he will definitely use a more subtle and hard-to-find method. The only way to do this is to let Edward go for the time being, and then decisively kill him when Roland is sure that he will crush Edward to death in one go.

This request is actually not very difficult, as long as Kakarit returns to Roland's side. (To be continued.) )

PS: Asking for a ticket...... By the way, the prototype of the red tree flower is the real island of the dragon (stall hand)
