Roland imagined the shape of the weapon used by the murderer, and suddenly a stir in his heart was raised: Isn't this the same as the thin and sharp weapon that Ellis gave him when he went to assassinate the second prince Lan'er?

Roland knew that Ellis was a first-class player in the city. In the past, when she was doing things for Archimedes, she should have assassinated a lot of people. Could it be that this serial murder case was also committed by her? Could it be that Archimedes broke his original agreement and continued to ask Ellis to do things for him?

The more Roland thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong: but if the main messenger of this wave of murders was really Archimedes, then did Rand know about this matter? If he didn't know, then what was Archimedes' purpose? If Rand knew, then what was the purpose of the two of them? Did the people who died at the hands of the demons have anything to do with them......

Roland felt like his head was going to explode.

Roland could have left these things alone, after all, in less than a week, Roland would be out of here. Everything that happened in Two Moon City will no longer have anything to do with Roland, even if it is ten days later, Rand's coronation ceremony.

But what if all this was Archimedes' conspiracy? What about Rand?

Roland grabbed his hair, trying to calm himself down quickly.

Then he felt that the current plan was to catch the mastermind as soon as possible. Even if he can't catch all the people behind it, Roland must keep Rand on guard.

So Roland asked Gray to inquire about the guards, and then learned that Ellis was on his shift today and should stay in his mansion. However, Roland has never had anything to do with the General's Mansion, and now he is "notorious", so he must not rush to see her. So what should Roland do to meet Ellis?

Roland thought about it for a moment and felt that in the current situation, it seemed that only Sakura Wind would be the most reasonable to visit Ellis. Sakurakaze's father is the Minister of Literature, and he has no real power, so he won't be suspected of collusion. And Sakura himself has a wide range of contacts in war school, and compared to others, he can be regarded as having more contact with Ellis in peacetime. It's not unobtrusive for a girl to visit another girl.

For Roland, it was much easier to see Sakura than to see Ellis. Sakura was recuperating at home at this time, and when Roland saw Sakura, he remembered that it seemed that he had seen Sakura for the first time since returning from Evener City.

Sakura's face is very good now, and it seems that she has not suffered any harm in Evenge City. But even so, Roland still felt a little guilty in his heart: he didn't expect him to be so useless!

Sakura was very generous, and she didn't seem to care at all about what happened in Castlevania.

Roland asks Sakura when she returned to Two Moon City, and Sakura replies that it was about four o'clock in the afternoon.

It seems that Roland and Rand are still one step back.

Roland said his request, but Sakura's face became a little embarrassed.

Sakura Feng said with some hesitation: "Of course you can go to Sister Yoellis, but I'm just worried about whether she wants to come out......?"

"Even if that's the case, we're going to have to try. Roland took a deep breath and felt that the air was getting a little colder, and his hands began to go numb.

Sakura Feng found that Roland's body trembled slightly, and was slightly stunned, and then asked in a low voice, "Roland, are you...... Why do you have to meet Ellis?"

Roland glanced at Sakura, and then told her the general situation, but Roland didn't mention the demon.

After listening to Roland's words, Sakura fell into deep thought, and only said after a while: "You mean, Ellis probably knows something about the murder in the city, right?"

Roland nodded.

"Well, leave this matter to me, and I'll make sure to get her in front of you before noon. ”

-----------------------------------

In a hidden café around the corner, Ellis was sitting across from Roland, nonchalantly stirring the cup of coffee with a spoon. Today, instead of wearing the armor she usually wears on weekdays, she is dressed in a long dress. Her jet-black hair was scattered behind Ellis's back, but the expression on her face was the same as usual, faint and expressionless.

"Tell me, find me something. ”

Roland looked at Ellis's face and saw that she was quite comfortable now, so he asked, "Those murders in the city...... Did you kill people?"

Listening to Roland's words, Ellis was obviously stunned, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then said, "You asked directly. ”

"So, is it you?" Roland's tone became a little eager.

Ellis took a deep breath and said slowly, "Roland, I know you're suspicious of Archimedes, but I really don't know about it. You see, there are many more under him besides me...... Others. ”

Roland glanced at Ellis and said, "That'...... Do you think it has anything to do with him?"

"What if it has a relationship? What if it doesn't? It's none of my business...... I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore. Ellis's eyes dodged when she said this, and Roland knew that she didn't want to reminisce about those unbearable years.

"Roland, remember the first time we met?"

“...... Remember. ”

"Actually, at that time, I was already planning how to get close to you, to get close to Rand. At that time, Archimedes gave me an order to quietly get rid of the prince Rand. Later, I tried many ways to get rid of the rand, but because of you, they all failed. Now that I think about it, I really owe you a word of sorry. ”

Roland was stunned: "Since your target is Rand, then why did you assassinate me in the first place?"

Ellis replied slowly, "Because Archimedes has changed his mind." Maybe it's your previous performance that caught his attention and made him think you were a threat. ”

Roland looked at Ellis's face and noticed that the expression on her face was beginning to calm down again.

Ellis continued: "However, I failed again. And after all this, Archimedes has begun to distrust me. In fact, who did he trust? He didn't need a passive assassin like me. For him, I am firmly held to the bottom and gain more power in the court, which is the most valuable thing for him. He could easily use his dealings with my father and my shady past as an assassin to threaten me and even sway my position. So you see, the demon invasion has just ended, and I've already been promoted two levels in a row. ”

Roland covered his hot cup with his hand, trying to warm himself up a little, and then he whispered, "Then why are you telling me this now......

"I'm telling you this to warn you not to pursue it further!" Ellis's voice suddenly became a little excited. However, she quickly realized her gaffe, lowered her head and whispered, "Archimedes' ability and power are far stronger than you can see. ”

Roland knew that Ellis was worried about him, and he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, but as long as he thought that Rand would have to face these pressures alone in the future, Roland felt that he wanted to do something for Rand in the end.

"Thank you, but in this world, there are things I must accomplish......" Roland whispered.

Then he asked, "Do you know what the weapons used by the other assassins were like?"

Ellis glanced at Roland meaningfully and said, "It doesn't matter what weapon is used, but most of the weapons that kill in one blow during assassination are thin short swords. Just like the one I stabbed you. ”

That's the same thing Roland thought.

Roland knew that that kind of sword shape was still a bit special, and ordinary people couldn't get this style of sword.

Roland suddenly thought of another question: "By the way, since you all use that kind of sword when you carry out assassinations, then why did Archimedes ask me to assassinate...... When I went to deal with the second prince Lan'er, the sword you gave me was different from the one you stabbed me?"

Ellis shook his head: "This ...... I don't know. ”
