Chapter 20 The End and the Beginning

The laughter of the mocking white sparrows finally turned into a sigh, as if Akachi, who had laughed enough, stopped looking at the people around him, he relaxed his shoulders and neck, and let half of his side face bury in the pillow, and his eyes narrowed. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info seemed to remind Ekor that if he didn't have any questions to ask, he was going to rest.

"Let's start with the first time we met, you killed an assassin near the Sheriff's Department that day, does this matter have anything to do with the unsolved case of d'Estaing?"

Ekor stared at Akachi tentatively and asked the first question.

"When a guild sends an Assassin an execution warrant, it never lists the reason. But the defector told me before he died that anyone who had been in close contact with the mage died a miserable death, and it was up to you to decide whether or not this matter had anything to do with the unsolved case of d'Estaing. ”

Eko nodded, there were too many secrets on that mage, not only did he create one death after another, but he was also very likely to be the creator of the Blood Pattern Drawing Scripture, but that mage died for no apparent reason, and the death was still a disgusting and strange shape. Thinking of the patterns that snaked in the blood, Ekor couldn't help but look at Akachi's bandaged back, the parts that weren't covered by the bandages now seemed to be the same, and the dark red lines that had once covered Akachi's entire back.

"Have you had any intimate contact with that mage?" Egg asked suddenly.

Akachi opened an eye.

"Except for being pressed to bed like a waste, I usually only have close contact with others for two things. One is naturally an assassination, while the other is a physical exchange with people that is pleasurable to each other. ”

Iger and Luthman coughed in unison, and Akachi sneered and glanced at Ekor with an embarrassed face, then closed his eyes again.

"The first time I was assigned to see this mage's superior, he didn't seem to be happy with a subordinate like me. ”

Akachi paused and continued: "I don't remember any communication with him other than assigning tasks. ”

"I heard you right, what you just said is that you don't remember, do you mean forget or amnesia?"

Eko asked relentlessly, using the inquiring skills she had learned from the Hub. Through the previous process of understanding, he did not believe that Akachi was an easy person to figure out, nor did he believe that Akachi would tell everything he knew, and "forgetting" was precisely the most common excuse for prevarication, and if Akachi answered in this way, he would have his own targeted verbal offensive. However, after frowning, Akachi said an answer that Ikor had not expected.

"Amnesia. ”

Akachi tilted his head slightly, and he replied as he stared into Ekko's eyes. It didn't look like an interrogator at all, but rather like an inquirer trying to test his opponent's look. It's a pity that the inquirer is too tired, and there is no aggressiveness in his eyes.

"Can you tell me about the events before and after the amnesia? Any detail!" Egg couldn't help but interject again.

"I don't want to be another man's subordinate, because in a guild there is no essential difference between being a man's subordinate and being a person's property. Akachi sighed.

"So the first time I went back to see the mage, I said something disrespectful...... After that, I received a secret order to terminate the other Assassins, and that's what you need to know about the events before and after. ”

"Not more than a day?" said Egger, surprised.

"It happened on the same day. ”

Hearing this answer, Egger's eyes straightened.

"Why did you go out of the city with that mage after that?" Ikor asked.

"He needs someone to protect him as he travels to Mufa City, and I am temporarily under his command by the Great Boss and must be at his disposal. ”

"If you just go to Mufa City, why are so many assassins involved?"

"I'm not sure. But this should be some kind of self-preservation for him. After all, the good deeds he had done had been exposed, and the Guild of the Headquarters of Cambeth had sent high-ranking assassins to deal with his affairs. ”

"Looks like you have your own guesses. Did he mention something that made you think this way?"

He mentioned one word repeatedly. Akachi closed his eyes wearily.

"What?"

"Divine remains. ”

Without waiting for Ekor to continue his questioning, Akachi continued, "Because of his involvement, the Guild has sent twice as many Assassins to attack us. It was at this time that the remains of the gods were mentioned. Although I didn't understand what a god corpse was, if his means of self-preservation required corpses to cast spells, there were indeed enough corpses that day...... I just don't know how he played himself to death. ”

Akachi's voice grew softer and softer, as if he was about to fall asleep. Ekor sensed from his look and tone that he had reached his limit, and immediately dismissed the idea of continuing the conversation with him.

For the next three days, Akaci, who remained in the library to recuperate, remained fairly quiet. For the first two days of the three days, he slept almost groggy, and on the third day, despite the injuries in his back, he lay on his back and looked at the ceiling without saying a word, ignoring anyone's greetings. During this time, Egger took the opportunity to give him a re-examination of his wound and asked him questions "behind his back", but Akachi answered nothing. For three days, the only thing Akachi revealed was that the then governor of d'Estaing was single-handedly supported by the Quenching Dagger.

"Does he only accept interrogation-style conversations?"

Seeing Akachi staring at the yellowed ceiling again, Ekor couldn't help but sigh. It was time for him to convince the compatriot to go to Elada, a topic that was clearly not suitable for cross-examination. However, he found that the elven fellow named Akachi only seemed to respond to the cross-examination.

"I've been wondering, why would an elf have a human name like Akachi, or do you have another name?"

Ekor casually opened up a conversation, his fellow citizens still staring at the ceiling with no one in sight.

"The Quenching Dagger became famous for the Battle of Death, when only one of the Assassins sent to Dubert survived, and my mentor thought my shit luck was just as good as his, so things got to this point - and I forgot my original name. Alternatively, you can speak Elvish directly, or you can remove the small tongue sounds from the lingua franca. ”

Egko was taken aback by the sudden hearing of standard Elven language in a foreign place, and he was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, but I heard that most of the elves in the human realm don't speak Elven very well. ”

Akachi squinted at him and didn't say a word.

"I'm guessing you already know who Aura and Egger are, and they're always looking after you. One of the remaining companions was named Lusman. ”

"If you have something to say, just say it, I'm not the kind of person who beats around the bush. ”

Ekor smiled a little awkwardly, as if Akaki meant that it was because he was beating around the bush that he would ignore him. But he just wanted to make the conversation a little more human, after all, it was about Elada.

"Then I'll be straight to the point. Eko began to speak in Elven language.

"We have an important matter to confirm right now, this matter will determine whether what happened to D'Estaing is over or just the beginning, and it will most likely involve your lost memories, but to confirm this matter, you will need to go with us to the Nexus in Elada, and we cannot explain anything to you until the Nexus has made official contact with you. ”

After saying this, Ekor unconsciously took a step back, expecting that Akachi would immediately make a sarcastic remark or let out a shrill laugh, but Akachi only smiled silently, and then looked at the ceiling again without saying a word.

Ekor couldn't see what Akachi was thinking, and he guessed he was probably having another fruitless conversation. Just as Ekor was about to lift her legs and leave the room, Akaki suddenly spoke, and spoke back to the lingua franca.

"Yes, I can go with you to Elada. ”

Akachi exhaled deeply.

"But only if I want to see the Governor's body. ”

Akachi's sudden offer made Ekor look back in shock, and at the same moment, there was a startling sound of something knocking over outside the door, and Ekor hurried out the door, only to see Iger and Lusman standing against the wall, apparently eavesdropping on the conversation inside.

Ekor sighed and said, "Lusman, take out our carrier pigeons." ”

"You're going to give ......?!"

Almost as soon as Lusman was about to utter the core of the homonym, Iger covered his mouth and smiled treacherously at Ekko.

Eg's smile was stunned for a moment, and a look of indignation appeared on his face, a reaction that puzzled Egger, and he let go of his hand and was about to ask why, but Egor passed by him as if with a gust of wind. Egger had to cautiously ask Lusman for confirmation, "Why did he write to the Hub? Didn't he let the Hub take the elven assassin by force?"

Lusman tapped him on the shoulder.

"Old thing, it turns out that you don't know the precepts of homophony? But you are not a white sparrow, and you really don't need to care about the morality of sparrows. ”

"Isn't the sparrow's morality to believe in the truth?"

Iger continued to argue, but this time his old friend only kept the back of his head for him. Egger grabbed his scalp and began to think back to the various miscellaneous notes he had read, and finally he remembered the three commandments of homonyms.

First, do not sell information to any organization; second, do not hide the truth about the matter from the person concerned; and third, do not obtain information by means of imposing one's finger on others.
