Chapter 66: Your Purpose
"Actually, from the beginning, you didn't intend to end your life. You've had your men poison themselves just to reinforce the sense of urgency that I'm going to keep you alive. Sophia debunked the true purpose of the fake "Alice" to her face, "And then you dragged me here in various ways so that I couldn't get out." ”
"Haha...... Princess Sophia is really not an easy person to deal with. "But why did you take the time to save me when you had already seen through my calculations? ”
"No one's existence is for the sake of death. Nor can any organization decide the fate of a person. You should have different choices in life. ”
With that, Sophia threw the poison capsule back to the girl. Then he walked away without looking back.
"Wait a minute!" called out to Sophia, "where are you going?" Sanctions have already begun. ”
Sophia ignored her and continued on her way.
Fake "Alice" was in a hurry, she picked up the poison capsule from the ground, "Don't be presumptuous, Sophia! you will never understand what the organization means to our existence!" After saying this, she shoved the capsule into her mouth without hesitation. Since he can save her the first time, he will save the second time, and the fake "Alice" has calculated that Sophia will never die without help, as long as Sophia approaches her side again, she will immediately touch the self-detonation magic on her body.
However, the plan of the fake "Alice" fell through again, and Sophia did not stop, nor did she turn back to save her, and did not even look back at her, and walked straight forward. As she watched Sophia move away step by step, the last words Sophia said drifted into the ears of the fake "Alice": "The real poison is with me, and what you eat is harmless." Also, I've purified the self-detonation magic on you. ”
......
Sophia had long since left her field of vision, but the fake "Alice" was still at a loss in her eyes, she had known the details of the plan, she had participated in the mission with the determination to die, but in the end, she was the only survivor of all the dead - saved by her enemies.
However, in the end, she will not be able to survive again. Her organization will not spare cowards who fail to succeed after a failed mission. Rather than fall into the hands of the organization in the future and end your life with a punishment that is worse than death, it is better to give yourself a good time now. Thinking of this, the fake "Alice" picked up a broken knife from the ground, took one last look at the world, and smiled self-deprecatingly......
There is a luxurious mansion in the south of the city.
The owner of this large house was a wealthy merchant, and because he had been a layman for many years, he only came back to sleep a few days a year, so the only people who lived in the house were the rich merchant's wife, two children, and two or three servants. Usually they live in a secluded and low-key life, and they have never had any disputes with others, but a few days ago, a few distant relatives suddenly came to this family, and they did not come out again. The kingdom's security forces also came to investigate, but found nothing suspicious.
But the neighbors didn't know that the wealthy businessman and his family were actually grassroots members of the Truth Society.
At this time, in the study of the mansion, the original owner had already been transferred, and only a man and two women who were completely strangers were left in the study.
"The guys who get in the way can't stop us for the time being. Christina stood by the window and said to the two men standing behind her.
"Am I ready to act?" The girl standing behind Christina, the werewolf Jane, seemed a little impatient at this time.
She held a scroll in her hand. There are two sides of the scroll, one of which are portraits of a man and one of a woman, one of whom is the deceased Empress of the Rocal Empire, and the other is the male monarch of another powerful country, like Ippeia.
Christina didn't answer Jana;
Jaina put away the scroll, turned and left the study, leaving a message: "Please remember your promise!"
The sick old man Mukasha and the young and beautiful girl Christina in front of her were completely different in appearance, and most people would not associate the two of them together, but the beast instinct in Jana's body told her that the two people were the same person at all, at least under the two skins, and the breath of what was hidden inside was exactly the same.
After Jane left, only Christina and the emaciated knight were left in the study.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" asked Julian, unable to stand the suppressed silence.
"What else can I say? Since that Harlan guy has written you a letter of recommendation, there are some tests that must be put to the test. At this point, Christina suddenly turned around, "But I really can't figure out if you have any reason to join our Truth Society." ”
"I'm willing to take any test. Julian said very firmly.
"Hmph, you've told me by your actions what exactly you want to do. ”
"And may I ask Miss Christina, what do you think I want to do?"
"Do you want to continue pretending?" Christina walked up to Julian and pressed forward step by step, "You just cut down Sophia's two little henchmen, using the holy sword 'Eternal Victory'." Are you trying to kill them or save them?"
Julian was expressionless, and he did his best to hide his emotions so that the chilling woman in front of him would not notice his nervousness.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore. Christina walked past Julian to the door of the study, "Even if you try to save their two lives, they will not be able to hinder our operations in any way. ”
Eventually, Julian was left alone in the study. He let out a long sigh, it seemed that simple cleverness was of no use, and that the Truth Society was far more profound than he had expected.
In an alley near the ruins of a ruined tavern.
Joyka and Lyle, who were supposed to be "dead", woke up one after another.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Lyle, blankly.
"Are we alive?" Joyka reached out to touch her neck, a little suspicious.
The horrific wound cut open by Julian had healed completely, and the bleeding had stopped, but the pain was still severe, suggesting to Joyka that it was not a dream.
"Looks like we were saved by Julian. Joyka sorted out what had happened and concluded, "If it weren't for his appearance, with the state of the two of us, I wouldn't have been killed by that cunning woman." ”
"Julian, the knight who came out of nowhere and wiped our necks with his sword, is the Julian you kept mentioning?" Recalling the experience of being "killed" in an instant, Lyle couldn't help but shudder.
Unlike the magic sword "Tears of Repentance", which can only kill, the holy sword "Eternal Victory" can save people in addition to killing. Julian slit the throats of the two of them with the holy sword, and at the same time, he also poured the resuscitation power attached to the holy sword into their bodies.
But even if they were able to survive, because of the loss of a large amount of blood, the state of the two people's bodies was greatly limited, and they could no longer fight for a short time.
"Is that what you're here for, Julian, if you're trying to save us, why are you in the company of the Truth?" Joika thought, "What the hell are you up to?"
Fifteen minutes ago, what should have happened finally happened.
After passing through the square, the king's procession did not continue its original route, but abruptly turned back to the palace.
This temporary change messed up the ambusher's plan, and seeing that the target was about to move away, the countless killers lurking in the shadows finally couldn't hold back anymore and appeared one after another to rush towards the patrol team.
