"There's... What's the matter?"

Akasha frowned slightly, a little nervous at first about Sally's imposing appearance, but then calmed down.

Sally stood motionless, the two staring at each other for a few seconds, but neither of them spoke. After a while, Sally finally couldn't hold it anymore, and asked a little stiffly, "I think of you, you are the priest of the Viper Cross, and you are wanted by the monastery, right?"

Roddy didn't tell Akasha's identity, and Sally didn't ask because of her excitement, but when she thought about it later, she remembered the details.

"Yes, but that's in the past. ”

Akasha admits frankly that this attitude of not caring about "black history" surprised Sally, so much so that what she wanted to say later was choked in her throat.

The two opposing priests stood face to face, and Sally tried to organize her language a few times, and she brewed her emotions a few times, but in the end, because of her self-esteem and upbringing as the daughter of a duke, she did not continue to put on an aggressive posture.

Her eyes drooped, she took two steps and asked in a low voice, "Can I sit down and talk?"

This can be regarded as her statement - Akasha pursed her lips, did not refuse, and sat down opposite Sally naturally. The atmosphere in the room eased a lot, but the expressions of both sides were still a little cold.

"Don't worry about any security issues, I came to you just to ask a question: why did he choose you?"

Sadness is sadness, but Sally must know what she did wrong.

Akasha's body tensed slightly, and the conversation at this time seemed to be ordinary, but every word she said was like an exchange, and after thinking for a long time, she finally replied, "I don't know." Because before that, I never thought he would choose me. ”

It's a big truth, but Sally doesn't sound like it... Because her answer made Sally feel that she had gone too far, she actually forced Roddy to give up.

"I won't—"

"You want to say you're not going to end there, are you?"

Akasha rarely interrupted others, but at this time she insisted on not letting Sally continue: "Forgive me for my rudeness, because in my opinion, it is not a question of who 'ends it or not', but 'whether it makes sense'. ”

Usually talking less does not mean that Akasha is stupid, on the contrary, she has the talent of "scholar" and is much better than many people in logical thinking.

"On the way to Hollier, I listened to Roddy tell you and his story, those experiences... I can see the meaning. ”

"Whether it's your beauty or your status, it's a fatal temptation for any man, and these... I'll admit I'm not at all. ”

"I'm just an ordinary woman. ”

Akasha's voice was calm, and there was always a sense of relief in her heart when the words she had buried in her heart came out.

"But I'm different from you, I don't want to ask if you can forget him, I just want to ask: Can you always be with him?"

The corners of Sally's eyes twitched slightly.

"You are the heir to the realm, and at the same time the priest of the sect, and with so many responsibilities... How long can you stay with him?"

She shook her head lightly and continued, "You know the answer yourself. Roddy has shed a lot of blood, suffered a lot, and almost lost his life many times... He still has a long way to go, and I am willing to stay with him. ”

"I know you're going to say you're not afraid, but... Can you leave the territory behind?"

"Can you break free from the Rosicrucifixion?"

The atmosphere in the room was instantly quiet and terrifying.

A sentence slammed into Sally's heart like a hammer, and she looked at Akasha in a daze, unable to refute it for a while.

Although "you love me" is the foundation of love, when you return to reality, the question is "how to live" after all. If you and Luo Di are on each other, you can't see each other two or three times a year, and you will continue to be persistent like this... Is it really necessary?

There was a slight confusion in Sally's eyes, but she quickly got rid of it.

The duke's daughter raised her head and said in a firm voice, "Distance... It doesn't decide everything, what you say is just your truth, but it doesn't mean that I want to agree. ”

"There is a way for everyone. ”

With this short word, Sally simply got up and left... The conversation seemed to end without a problem, but both sides had already expressed their attitudes invisibly.

Akasha looked at the door that closed with a "click" and clenched her fists involuntarily.

In the study on the second floor, Roddy had no idea what was going on between the two priests, and his fingers were running over the map on his desk, whispering everything about the "plague" to Duke Angmar.

"I first saw a plan from Ansadine, but it didn't address the core issues, as if Augustine didn't support it..."

"I just thought they might do it, so I mentioned it more, I didn't expect it to come so quickly. ”

Roddy first found a reason to convince the Duke of himself, after all, he couldn't have told the Duke that all this was something he had experienced... As for these vague statements, Angmar had no doubts at all, nodded and said, "Judging from the reports, these plagues seem... There were no events that led to mass deaths. And, what if it's just a coincidence?"

"Whether he dies three days after being infected or thirty days later depends entirely on the type of disease and the plan of the undead, as for the coincidence—"

Roddy stretched out his hand and pointed at the location of Holier City: "This is the most densely populated place in the eastern part of the kingdom, and here and here..."

He pointed to the royal city of Ignaz and the Temple, "The three dots form a triangle, and when they are connected, they basically cover seventy percent of the towns and villages with a high population density - could it be that such a coincidence of disease appeared in such a precise location?"

"But Roosrche has taken measures and is said to have effectively controlled most of the area. ”

"They can't last long -- think about it, the plague that the priests can get rid of can only be eliminated by the bishops, how many bishops can there be in a diocese?

"What do you mean... All people get infected, and it's hard to cure?"

"Lord Duke, when that time comes, whether or not it can be 'cured' is no longer the most important issue to be concerned about, whether those dead humans will get back on their feet, this is the biggest problem we have to face. ”

In a few words, Angmar had already understood Roddy's concern, and he sighed slightly: "But... Is it too late to find the source of the plague?"

"It's not completely spread now, if it's blocked and dealt with immediately, it's still too late. Roddy's brows furrowed, and he quickly thought about his next plan: "We must deal with this matter as soon as possible, I need to gather the cavalry team as soon as possible, and at the same time, I need to draw at least ten priests from the monastery to use the 'Purification Ring' to ensure that the team will not be infected." ”

"Can you confirm that the source has been found?"

Duke Angmar asked, then waved his hand: "The plague... It's something I've never touched or seen, and since you have a plan, it's up to you to do it, and I'm not going to do it anymore..."

With a few words of understatement, he handed over the command to Roddy, and the old man lowered his head, gently beat his legs, and asked in a low voice, "Will there be a fight?"

"Where there are undead, battles are inevitable. ”

"Then you can take Wellington and Titus with you. Angmar leaned back and leaned back in her chair, "If I'm five years younger, I'm afraid I'll be carrying my sword and setting off together..."

"Leave these things to a young man like me now. ”

Roddy could hear the duke's calmness and regret about the approaching death, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. But Angmar cracked her mouth and smiled, and the conversation changed: "So... What about Sally?"

Roddy's movements froze slightly, then quickly returned to normal, he folded the simple map that had been marked, and replied, "This kind of thing... I still respect her own wishes. ”

Saying this, Roddy's heart was entangled like never before-he didn't want to deceive Angmar, but he also didn't want the old man to leave with regret in his heart.

"Heh... It's good to have your words. ”

The Duke stretched out his hand and sighed softly, but said nothing more.

Roddy packed up, and immediately walked out of the mansion after the Duke summoned John's butler and explained it - there was no time to rest now, because a second late could be a matter of life and death for dozens or hundreds of people.

However, when he thought about it carefully, Roddy also found a problem: the plague in history had a very high fatality rate, but now there have not been many deaths reported from this plague, is it because it has not yet "exploded"?
