Chapter 242: What is the Truth?
Lulu was defenseless and had to be captured by Ellis.
Xiu watched from the sidelines, feeling a little embarrassed: he didn't know what he should do about such a result.
Originally, he planned to act at the opportune point and find an opportunity to secretly help Lulu escape from pursuit. Xiu definitely didn't expect that Lulu, who was full of posture before, would be so useless! This hasn't officially started yet, and it will be like wilting immediately, and she can only be at the mercy of Ellis.
And after seeing Ellis's strength and vigor up close, Xiu didn't have the courage to directly confront Ellis: although his current ability is much longer than before, he also doesn't have the confidence to believe that he can beat Ellis unscathed.
So Xiu unconsciously became a little hesitant again.
But just when Xiu was tangled, things took a turn again, because a black shadow suddenly appeared at another corner of the alley!
He moved swiftly and approached Ellis very quickly, and at the same time unleashed a very powerful spell - Avalanche and Ground Split!
Ellis didn't stand firm, so he subconsciously let go, giving Lulu a chance to escape!
Then the shadow quickly picked Lulu up, trying to leave from the other direction. Seeing this, Ellis naturally wouldn't tolerate such a thing, she quickly rushed up to block the black shadow, and then cast a violent gust of wind, blowing Lulu and the black shadow could not move an inch!
Under the blowing of the wind, the true face hidden under the cloak of black shadows finally appeared in front of Ellis's eyes.
But after Ellis saw who was coming, the expression on her face became a little subtle, and even the offensive in her hand stopped.
Xiu hurriedly stepped forward to see what was going on, but heard Ellis say with a little emotion, "You're finally willing to show up, Sakura." ”
It turned out that the black shadow that suddenly came out was none other than the eldest lady of the Bachelor's Mansion who had been missing for a long time, Sakura!
Sakura looked at Ellis, then at Lulu behind her, and the expression on her face began to become a little desolate. She said slowly: "Sure enough, is this what he meant? It seems that he will not be willing to get rid of everything in the past...... In that case, why didn't he get rid of me sooner?"
"What do you say?" Hearing Sakura's words, Ellis's face suddenly turned unpleasant, "You just think too much...... Where have you been these days? If you don't even go to the War College, why can't you get along with yourself and the king? Recently, the Academy's Mansion has been looking for you, so you better go back as soon as possible, and don't be so stubborn anymore. Be soft, the king won't care what has happened, after all, you are childhood sweethearts......"
"What about Roland? Why isn't he our childhood sweetheart?" Sakura sighed and asked rhetorically, his tone was slightly excited: "Has the king ever forgiven him?" What's more, no one can be sure that he did something wrong...... "As he spoke, Sakura raised his head again, glanced at Ellis, and said, "Do you even think that Roland is guilty and deserves to die!"
Ellis was slightly stunned and didn't speak immediately. After a while, she spoke slowly, her voice trembling slightly: "I...... To be honest, I don't know. I don't want him to die either, but the reality is ...... Don't be too upset, after all, it has happened, and none of us can undo it. ”
"No, I must find out the truth!" Sakura's voice suddenly became much higher, and Xiu could clearly feel the ups and downs of her emotions: "Don't you think it's strange? Whether it's the day of Roland's execution, or the day of the arena, you're also there! Listen to the conversation between the two of them, don't you feel strange? Why did Roland, who has always been indifferent, say such things emotionally on such an occasion? Why did he accuse the king of his fault in every word? Although Roland didn't say anything at that time, didn't you notice that there was something in his obvious words? There must be something that only the two of them knew, and that was the reason why the king made him have to die! I must find out the truth and give Roland justice! Is it really that he was allowed to die in such an unknown way?"
Ellis was speechless and didn't know what to say.
In fact, in this matter, Ellis knows more inside information than Sakura, and she also understands that what Roland did was not as glorious as Sakura thought. And the king is actually the same.
But the matter has come to this point, and there is no room for recovery. Ellis is actually physically and mentally exhausted now, and she doesn't want to dwell on these complicated things anymore, and she can't tell who is right and who is wrong, because she is actually not as strong as others think!
After a moment of silence, Ellis gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, then there is nothing more to say between me and you, let's do it!"
Seeing that the two parties were about to start their hands again, Xiu, who was watching from the sidelines, finally couldn't help it. He was a little excited to block between the two of them, and persuaded: "Okay, okay, what can't you say well? Why are you girls more impulsive than men?"
As he spoke, Xiu glanced at Ellis and said, "Since you're going to let Lulu go, wouldn't it be better to be sincere?
Hearing this, Lulu was slightly stunned: "What do you mean by this?"
Xiu sighed and said, "Don't you understand? Why do you think Ellis wants a large number of officers and soldiers to disperse in the alleys with complicated terrain to outflank you, leaving her alone here? She obviously wants to release water on you!"
Saying that, Xiu glanced at the unwilling Sakura Wind again, and persuaded: "I know that you have always been obsessed with Roland's death and want to find out the truth, but I think it is better for you not to continue to investigate." ”
"Why? Don't you have any doubts about Roland's death, or do you already know something?" Sakura's mood rose a little again, and even his voice rose several decibels.
Although Xiu knew that Roland was not dead, because he had promised Roland not to tell others about it, he had no choice but to smile bitterly now: "Sakura, I know that you have always been unwilling to accept the fact that Roland is dead, but he is indeed dead! I also understand that you have always wanted to know what happened between him and the king, and you want to give him justice...... But if you think about it, is this really what Roland wants to see? There is a secret between him and the king, and everyone can see this. But have you ever thought that when he was in the guillotine, in the arena, he had the opportunity to clarify his charges and tell the truth in front of thousands of people, but he didn't do it, and for what? This can only show that in his mind, the king's reputation is more important than his own life, and this is what he has exchanged for his life to guard! Can you really bear to destroy it like this?"
Xiu's voice was not loud, but it was tantamount to a thunderbolt in Sakura's heart, which made her thoughts begin to go blank, and she soon began to cry silently.
Ellis glanced at them, didn't say anything more, but put away his spear and turned to leave.
However, Ellis stopped after a few steps, turned back to Lulu and said, "Be careful of Archimedes, he seems to have some intentions for you. And also...... It is actually His Majesty's intention to let you go. He's not who you think he is. ”
After saying that, Ellis finally disappeared from everyone's sight completely.
