Padding knew that Lulunaka was finally getting to the point. She didn't seem to be in a hurry, she looked like she was gossiping, and she said all sorts of things to Patin and Leo, both about Leo's identity, about Pattin's position among the knights of the church, and why Patin didn't save the other knights when he saw death, but only saved Leo...... The words were woven together to form a web that enveloped Patin and Leo.

Lulunaka spoke slowly, neither fast nor slow, maintaining her own pace, and every word she said sounded like it had nothing to do with the events on the scene, but in fact it had ulterior motives. Olga sensed that she was trying to get Patin and Leo - or the Church knights, and even the Church - to pick the line between Patin and the Church, and then grab the threads on both of them, and manipulate them like marionettes. This is Olga's conjecture, and Patin has similar thoughts, as for Leo, he is in a bad state right now, and can only feel that someone is separating him and Pattin, but he doesn't think deeper.

Now, Lulunaka seems to be finally showing her little tail.

"Miss Lulunaka, these words you say make you feel more like a devil. Patin said.

"Will I? I'm just telling you some facts, why does it make my image so evil?" Lulunaka looked surprised, not at all looking like a fake. "When did telling the truth become an act of the devil?"

"Only the devil will say such a thing as paying the price. I believe you are an alchemist, but I also suspect that you are a devil. ”

Lulunaka smiled, "That's good, as long as someone believes that I'm an alchemist, then it's not unacceptable to be treated as a devil." She paused for a moment, then continued, "Mr. Edgar, I have a proposal here, and I hope you will listen to it. ”

Patin didn't answer, and Lulunaka took him as a tacit, "It seems to be equally important for you to kill Miss Romeoona and protect this knight if nothing else. So, if I were to trade Mr. Knight's life for your unconditional obedience to my orders, would you think it would be a good deal?"

Patin opened his eyes, "Is this what you want?" alchemist. ”

Lulunaka nodded, "yes, that's what I want." ”

Leo also hears Lulunaka's request, and he wants to say something, but swallows it back in his stomach. If it was a certain death, he didn't mind saying a few more cruel words before he died, but when there was such a glimmer of life, the desire to live became stronger, and his courage was slowly dissipating.

Paddy finally understood why Lulunaka had said so much earlier. If the deal is the main event, then the foreplay is a bit too long. But it can't be said that Lulunaka has done nothing, she is provoking the relationship between Patin and Leo: pointing out that Leo's identity has a lot of origins, and bluntly saying that Padin is just a bargaining chip that can be discarded. If there were other Church knights alive at this time, I am afraid that people's hearts would begin to float. It's just that the knights of the church have long since died, and there is only one Leo left.

Now, Lulunaka throws out an ultimate question: how much can he, Padin Edgar, pay for Leo Pastin's life or death?

Then, as if remembering something, Lulunaka added, "By the way, if you don't agree, then Mr. Knight will undoubtedly die." As for how to die, do you think it is better to bleed from the seven orifices or to be beheaded? I think the latter died less painfully, and the death was not as horrible as the death of being tortured by screams. ”

"I don't think there's any other choice. Patin said.

Hearing Pattin's words, Luluna Ka waved her hand in disapproval, "No, of course you have a choice—you can let Mr. Knight die, and then continue the mission to assassinate Miss Romeona." As for me, because all the people who attacked me are dead, maybe I'll leave like this? Speaking of this, Lulunaka clapped her hands, "But those who planned this murder must have regarded Miss Romeona and these mercenaries as something that could be sacrificed, and they didn't expect that the knights of the church who should not be 'sacrificed' would die, and it is impossible to treat this knight as one of the pawns that can be sacrificed, right?" Lulunaka looked at Leo, "Mr. Knight, I would like to ask, if you could return alive, how would you report this matter? Miss Romeona is not dead. Eleven church brethren were lost...... Who should shoulder this responsibility?"

Leo heard Lulunaka's words, and only felt chills all over his body. He wasn't stupid, and he could certainly hear what Lunaka was implying by that. With so much damage in the operation, and with the mission not yet complete, he could anticipate how those behind the scenes would react. One defeat doesn't make that group of people lose their temper, and with their strength, there is always a way to fix things. But that doesn't mean that a person who fails in his duties doesn't have to be punished, even if he has a special background – not to mention that his background is actually dishonorable, and even dishonorable to those people. Lulunaka has made conjectures about his identity, but she has already said it all the time. His true identity doesn't allow him to hold his head high in public, but it's still enough for him to get a life-saving prop or two.

His background doomed him to something that civilians could not have in their lifetime, but it also determined his treatment. His status is not high enough to avoid punishment entirely, and even makes the person who gave him that status makes him very disappointed. As long as you think that you may be left out in the cold because of this, you will never have a chance to be reused. Leo felt like he was stuck in an ice cave, and he felt chills all over his body.

What would he do if he did survive and return to King's Castle? Is it to be honest that he provoked the wrong people and then let this secret mission be messed up? Or is it to put all this on Patin and mess it all up because of Pattin's mistakes?

Leo lowered his head and looked slightly to the side, peering at Pattin.

Pattin's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be touched by Lulunaka's words. But no one knows what he's thinking right now, not Leo or Lulunaka.

"Why do you look so weak, Mr. Knight?" Lulunaka, with a smile on her face, continued to add wood to the stove, the one called "Trust and Friendship between Padin and Leo". "Although it was your order to do something to me, I think it is Mr. Edgar's responsibility to make the situation so bad. Even my enemy said so, so why should you blame yourself?"

"That's enough!" Paddy shouted, drowning out Lulunaka's voice. "I agreed to the deal, and let the knight with me go. As for me...... I promise that I will do one thing for you. ”
