Chapter 70: A White Scroll
If it was someone else, even if Dent was reluctant, he would obey his master's wishes and lie to the other party that the master was not there, but ......
Alsace and Marshal Lance went out of the city on military duty?
Don't make a fuss, the person in front of you is Marshal Lance, and you have to distinguish the object if you lie.
"Arthas, call him out!" Lance commanded stiffly.
"This ...... His Royal Highness the PrinceγHe went to visit the school festival with the third princess.γ Dent squeezed such a lame excuse out of his mouth.
"Really?"
"Really ......"
"Alright, I'll go find Helen. Lance nodded solemnly and gestured to leave.
"Wait!"
Arthas quickly jumped out of the corner and shouted to stop Lance.
What are you kidding, if he really goes to Helen, then Alsace will probably have to spend the rest of his life in bed.
Crippled by that woman or something......
"Oh, so you're here. β
Seeing Alsace suddenly appear, Lance was not surprised, and did not even have any intention of blaming Dent, and accepted the status quo as a matter of course, as if he had expected it a long time ago.
"Ah, isn't this my dear Marshal? Do you have time to come to a place like Hogg House, where the military people have nothing to do?, or is our country so strong that it doesn't need soldiers?"
"I'm coming for you. β
"Looking for me?" Arthas was taken aback.
"I heard you've been beaten?" Lance pointed straight in, and explained his intentions briskly, "I'll take a look at your injuries." β
"Look at me, hehe, my dear generalissimo, when will you ever learn to care for others?" Alsace glanced at him disdainfully.
"It seems that you are not seriously injured. As if he hadn't heard Arthas's cynicism, Lance scrutinized Arthas's face and said with satisfaction, "It's okay, not disfigured." Sure enough, that rumor was false, and the Prince of Arthas was not beaten into a pig's head. β
"......" was mentioned as sad, and Alsace was speechless.
"Who is the murderer, did you catch him?" asked Lance.
"......" Alsace did not answer.
"I heard that the murderer is a girl, and she is also a student of Hogg House?" Lance frowned, looking like a brother, "Although my father told us to keep a low profile, if anyone dares to trample on the dignity of the royal family, we must not let it go easily!"
β......β
"Who is she? Tell me, and I want her to know what the price of provoking the Imperial Prince will be. β
"......" Arthas still did not speak.
He lowered his head and secretly gave Den a look.
Dent understood, bowed silently, and exited the room, not forgetting to close the door gently as he left.
In the room, there were only two people left, Arthas and Lance.
Lance's trip was quite hurried, and he didn't even have time to change into civilian clothes, and stood in front of Arthas in a magnificent military uniform, showing the unique masculinity of a soldier.
He looked Arthas in the eye, and there was no pressure in his eyes, and there was no back-down, like a soldier who held his ground, and no matter what accident happened, he would only do what he was told, and he would not do anything superfluous.
In contrast, Alsace is slightly more feminine. The handsome face, the fair skin, and the Lance stand together, and the difference is often stark.
If Lance is a dutiful emperor, then Arthas is more like a young master who eats, drinks and has fun.
If it weren't for their same dazzling blonde hair, I'm afraid it's hard for anyone to believe that they are actually brothers.
"Sure enough, is she a woman?"
After Dent left, Lance's words began to be ruthless.
"......" Arthas didn't say a word, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.
"She's beautiful?"
β......β
"She likes you?"
β......β
"You want to marry her? What about Helen? You should know her last name better than I do. Lance asked a long list of questions.
Even if he didn't answer them, Lance knew the answers to these questions.
"Hey, my brother, when are you going to grow up?" Lance could only sigh helplessly.
"My dear Generalissimo, it's none of your business, you better take care of your pure white blade. Arthas was like a stubborn child, stubbornly resisting the accusations of his elders, "Elite squad, what a joke, you are a bunch of waste, a bunch of stupid pigs who only know how to eat and shit! Do you know what the people of Central City say about you? They say that it was you scrap wood that killed the brave and killed the Wings of Judgment!"
"Whatever they say. I'll admit that with the exception of the Wings of Judgment, there is no other human squad that can be called the elite. But every soldier deserves respect, whether it's a charging hero or a wounded veteran!" Lance shook his head, unflinching.
"Oh, then, you've gotten something out of your trip to the Everfree Forest, and did the Pure White Blade really find useful news?"
Although Lance's words did not reveal half of the information, Arthas still smelled the conspiracy.
Anyway, he is still Lance's younger brother, no matter how cold he is on the surface, he still guesses Lance's thoughts.
"Yes. "Recognized by Arthas, Lance didn't hide it much, and frankly admitted it.
"Really, that's funny. Arthas said with a smile.
Arthas knows very little about the Pure White Blade.
The squad consisted of both the military and the Holy See, and was led by the Generalissimo. Originally, Rem should have led the team, but for well-known reasons, Rem came to Hoag House to become a teacher, and the task of leading the team was naturally handed over to his original assistant - Lens.
When the Pure White Blade marched towards the Everfree Forest, there were not even more than half of the people who had expectations for them.
When they returned, the number was not increasing. All of this is due to Lance.
As the supreme commander, Lance's performance in this operation was remarkable.
As a newcomer, he dares to fight, and when the investigation reaches an impasse, he is willing to risk his life and go deep into the Endless Forest to investigate the truth about the disappearance of the Wings of Justice.
There are not many generals who can take the lead and fight side by side with their subordinates, and Lance is one of them.
It is said that he was advised to be careful and stay in the base camp to guard the rear and let the rest of the Pure White Blade investigate deeply.
If it had been the lazy Rem, he would have happily accepted the suggestion and gone to sleep in a soft and comfortable tent, but Lance's decision was the opposite.
Not only did he vehemently reject the man's suggestion, but he also gave a death order that he would never go back until he found the Wing of Judgment!
To live to see people, to die to see corpses!
He also issued a prohibition: In the absence of conclusive evidence, anyone who openly declares that the wings of the verdict are completely extinguished, or proposes to withdraw troops to stop the investigation, will be punished as the crime of disturbing the morale of the army!
At first, everyone thought that Lance was just pretending, but when he personally taught a few blind guys, no one dared to question him, and no one clamored to go back.
But even so, the Pure White Blade still did not get any useful information, and in the face of the people's doubts, Lance could only give a pitiful white scroll.
So, did the Pure White Blade really not find even the slightest clue?
The answer, obviously, is no.
"Tell me, what did you find?" Alsace said with a smile.
What really happened in the Everfree Forest?
Why did that girl named Emilia appear at Hogg House and beat him up for no apparent reason?
Perhaps, Lance knows the answer......
