Headquarters of the National Alchemist.

In the area of Marshal Hogheim's barracks, Rorschach and Ricky were temporarily imprisoned in a waiting room by soldiers on routine business...... No one has been looking for them since the morning, as if they had been forgotten!

The dark waiting room was quite clean, except that no one had cleaned up some dust all year round, but it was nothing to the two who often went out on official business.

At least it's a lot better than camping in the wilderness, even at night!

There is only moonlight in the dark......

Rorschach is rarely locked up in the same house as Ricky, and when you think about it, although the environment is uncomfortable, she is actually a little happy in her heart!

And Ricky didn't know why she had been sitting in the corner and didn't speak, it was too dark to see her expression at the moment, and only a little outline could distinguish the figure.

"Ahem!"

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Rorschach pondered whether to find something to talk about.

Although the two of them told half-truths about what happened in the swamp town according to the method that Mentor Kirdoll said before, it was actually not a fake, after all, I don't know if Occam is really dead, if it is dead, the process that the two of them said is true, no matter how they look for it, there is only this result.

But the charge of dereliction of duty still exists, and now we have to wait for punishment!

"I'm sorry to let you suffer with me, if only I had let you go with my mentor before. Rorschach didn't know what to say, so he had to find out what was wrong with him.

"Do you think the mentor will agree? No one expects this kind of thing, don't take it personally, and I'm not the kind of lady who can't stand suffering. In the darkness, Ricky finally stood up and spoke.

Scold~

Rorschach didn't know what to say for a while.

It seems that what I have admired for so many years is such a Rachel......

"Actually......"

"Huh?"

Halfway through speaking, Rorschach didn't dare to say anything more.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay!" replied.

I don't know why Rorschach always doesn't dare to get too close to Richie, although he wants to get close in his heart, but every time he wants to get closer, he tells himself in his heart, no!

After all, Ricky is the young lady of the Christian family, even if she has the title of Mentor and disciple of Ward, but she is still too weak in front of the real big family, and the young masters who can be worthy of Ricky should be the same big nobles, as long as they can look at each other.

"Are you really okay?"

Ricky stepped forward, but the other took a step back......

"It's really okay, tsk~ I don't know how long it will take for them to verify, we can't keep being locked up like this. ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter!"

"Huh?"

The voice was small but still heard by Rorschach, looking at the place where there was a figure in the darkness.

It was too dark to see Richie's current expression.

Just don't worry about the current situation when the other party is saying it!

Just walk to the side where you can sit and sit down, close your eyes...... In fact, sometimes I can hear the words I care about more clearly, but ...... Don't want to, or don't dare...... Go listen.

At this moment, the sound of a team approaching could be heard in the distance.

"Someone's coming, Rorschach. ”

The two stood up and looked over, and in the distance of the waiting room, they could see torches in the darkness approaching.

"You're finally here, what we know has been made clear, can you let us gradually Mentor Kdoel!" The people who came were a group of alchemists from DìDū, who didn't know each other.

Rorschach and Richie, who are not present in Dì Dū all year round, may still be somewhat famous in Lewis City, but Dì Dū in the center of the country has little appeal.

The person on the other side didn't pay attention to Rorschach's words, but looked at Ricky next to him......

"You're Rickie Christian. ”

"It's me. ”

"Come with us. The person outside said expressionlessly.

"What do you mean?!"

"Are you going to see Mentor Kirdoel, or Marshal Hogheim?" asked Richelle, curious.

It seems that as long as the other party goes out by himself, he doesn't know why.

"If you are told to come out, how can there be so many whys...... You should be glad you have a good family, otherwise you wouldn't know where you are now!" said the alchemist outside.

What the!

Even if the other party didn't say anything, it was not difficult for Rorschach and Richelle to hear the meaning.

Richel should have been called away by the Christian family, so why did she refuse to let go?

"What the hell do you mean by keeping us, we are just routinely reporting on official business, although Occam's death is our dereliction of duty, but according to the laws of the country, we should not be detained, I want to see Marshal Hogheim!"

"What's the yelling at night!If it weren't for the fact that Marquis Christian had spent so much time asking us to bring you out, we wouldn't have bothered to bother you, come out quickly!"

"I'm not going, unless you ask Mentor Kodoll or Marshal Hogheim to come. Ricky simply didn't leave.

"You can't get the needle?"

"Not coming out. ”

The people on the outside didn't seem to have much patience.

After all, although the marquis has a high status, he is a subordinate of the marshal, even if he is a big noble, don't want to point fingers at him.

"Okay, then you'll have to stay inside. ”

He was about to leave but was stopped by Rorschach.

"Wait......" he turned to look at Ricky.

"Ricky, you leave first, only when you go out can you inform the mentor of them, maybe something goes wrong in the middle, even if I am imprisoned, I will not be guilty of death, but as long as you go out, we will have the opportunity to intercede with the marshal, and no matter how bad it is, you can also ask Master Sean to come forward and clarify, so you must go out." ”

Rorschach said firmly.

"But you!"

"It's okay with me, you're from the Christian family, you're better able to move around Dì Dū than I am, and it's best for you to go out. ”

The current situation is not too much to think about, Rickie feels that what the other party said is also reasonable, only if she goes out first and asks the mentor to come forward, she can have a chance to rescue Rorschach.

"Alright then, you wait for me here...... I will definitely be back. ”

"Well, I'll wait for you. “

........................

The next morning, Sean and Ayla woke up a little late.

The palace maid of Keselke did not come to call him until almost noon, probably knowing that he had drunk too much at the dinner party yesterday and would not be able to eat anything in the morning anyway, and a little bit of salty porridge with meat had not yet tasted much.

After the meal, the two were called by the guards from the palace, saying that Emperor Williams had something to say.

Ayla felt that the matter of the slate should have been settled, so she asked Sean to follow her into the palace quickly......

After all, the purpose of the two of them this time is to come to it, and Sean felt even more terrible after listening to Aira's story last night, even if he wanted to know about these unknown ancient gods in different timelines, he believed that with his two powers, he would not be directly killed by the other party.

When the two of them came to the main hall, there were already many ministers gathered here, and the three elements were also standing on both sides of the waiting side.

"Your Majesty the Emperor. Ayla saluted respectfully.

"Venerable Madam Khalifa doesn't need to be so polite, this time I asked you to come here because the Great Alchemist has something to say to you. ”

looked at Meredith the Omniscient next to him......

"Madam Khalifa, I went back and looked for those ancient slabs you told me yesterday and found them. ”

"That's great. Ayla was a little excited.

"But......" As soon as the words were transferred, Sean became vigilant.

"Found is found, but I hope that the lady can help us a little, I'm afraid you have also heard the news of Princess Letisia's serious illness, and we want to use the power of the lady to help us treat the little princess's condition. ”
