Chapter Seventy-One: A Fruitless Result
"Tell me, what did you find?" Alsace said with a smile.
β......β
Lance didn't say anything, he looked sideways slightly, held his breath, and quietly listened to the sound outside the door.
"You don't have to worry, Dent is on guard, you can say whatever you want. Seeing Lance's reaction, Arthas's smile was filled with disdain.
"What do you want to know?" asked Lance.
"What can you tell me?" Arthas asked rhetorically.
"Whatever you ask, I'll answer. Ranstein replied, "I know everything." β
"That's good. First question. Hearing Lance's answer, Alsace blurted out as if he had premeditated, without even thinking too much, "Who taught you to do that?"
"I don't understand your question. Lance shook his head helplessly, telling the truth.
"It's really ......tiring to talk to stupid people," Arthas sighed helplessly, and had to try to make his words as clear as possible, "Obviously, you are the commander-in-chief of the Pure White Blade, but this operation does not have your style at all. β
"Why?"
"If it were you, you wouldn't do that. took the lead and issued a ban or something...... That's not your style at all. β
"Whose style do you think?" asked Lance.
"Rem, that old rascal. Alsace was blunt.
"Haha. Lance, who had always kept a straight face, laughed out loud when he heard this, "I don't know how he will feel when he hears your words." β
"Cut, he must have said a lot of bad things about me behind my back anyway, and he doesn't care if I say a few words to him. Arthas frowned, "Lance, don't let that old guy fool you. β
"I don't understand your words. Lance replied honestly.
"......" Arthas felt as if a stone had been stuffed in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out, he couldn't swallow it, "I said, can you use your brain? You have done so many actions to make people think of you? People will accuse you, saying that you are in a hurry to do a good job, and then completely ban Rem's position! You are being cheated by Rem! Do you think he is really willing to stay in Hogg House and be a broken teacher? Wake up, he is using you!"
Alsace's claims are by no means alarmist.
Regardless of whether Lance successfully completed the task this time, he will definitely be blamed from all sides. If he could give a reasonable explanation to the people, he could barely hold on, but when he returned, he was empty-handed and only handed in a blank scroll.
Among the people, there are already voices for Marshal Rem to be reinstated, and if this continues, I am afraid that it will not be long before Lance will be labeled as a victim of war.
"Teacher Rem is not that kind of person! Besides, this position originally belonged to Teacher Rem, and I just kept it on my behalf. β
"Fool, you are so naΓ―ve!" Arthas had no respect for his brother.
"Arthas, I don't want to take care of your affairs, and please don't interfere in my affairs!"
"Cut, whatever you want, idiot. Alsace's expression was like eating a fly, "Well, the second question." Who is behind this operation?"
β......β
"Forget it, I know you don't understand. Let me put it another way. Without waiting for Lance to speak, Arthas preemptively said, "The supreme commander on the military side, of course, is you. Who, then, is it on the side of the Holy See? You know, it is not easy to get those arrogant knights and soldiers to live in harmony and unite to form a squad. β
"The Pope. Lance's answer was succinct, "Holy Pope, Sherah." β
"Is that her? So, is there anyone against her?"
"Why are you asking this?" Lance wondered.
He had no idea what Alsace was intent.
He had expected Arthas to ask him about the results of the White Blade's investigation directly, but Arthas asked him a lot of irrelevant things.
Was Arthas playing tricks, or was he too stupid to realize the mystery behind the questions?
According to Lance, it must be the former.
"Answer me, idiot. Arthas scolded mercilessly.
"......" Even Lance was a little annoyed when he was scolded for being a fool several times.
"Say it quickly!"
"Of the four cardinal archbishops, two spoke out against it. One is Bruno and the other is Idir. Lance replied in a calm voice.
"It makes sense. Arthas nodded in satisfaction.
Although the Holy See is nominally headed by the Pope, in reality it is the four cardinals who hold the real power. They have the right to object to the Pope's decision, and if there is a majority, they have the right to veto.
This time, they failed to veto the Pope's order, and the knights of the Holy See were forced to put aside their pride and form the so-called elite squad with the mud-legged soldiers, the Pure White Blades.
As for the deeper insider, why are there two people who oppose it, and why do two acquiesce...... That's not what Alsace should be concerned about.
"One last question. What did you find out about the white blade? white scroll or something, I won't believe it, although you are a little stupid, you will not achieve nothing. β
β......β
In the end, Arthas asked the most crucial question. Lance finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the thought in his heart became even stronger.
Sure enough, this kid is playing tricks.
"We fought our way into the Everfree Forest, and we didn't encounter any large-scale resistance from the demons. Lance said slowly.
"What did you find?"
"Ahem......" Coldston paused, and then said very calmly, "We didn't find anything." β
β......β
β......β
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely cold.
"I'm sorry, Lance, I didn't hear you clearly, could you please say it again?" Arthas even slapped himself lightly, and then stared at Lance seriously.
"We didn't find anything. Lance raised his voice, repeating what he had just said.
We didn't find anything.
"Lance, when did you learn to tell jokes, did that old rascal Rem teach you?"
"Arthas, I warn you, please don't insult my teacher!"
"Cut...... So, you really haven't found anything?"
"Really. But...... I know the whereabouts of the brave. Lance said mysteriously.
"What, whereabouts of the Brave?" Alsace was startled.
The whereabouts of the brave man, no one knows better than him.
The girl named Emilia was in Hogg House, and even beat him violently, so that Arthas was able to confirm Emilia's identity.
Emilia is the brave!
But why did Lance know about it? Plain White Blade didn't gain any useful information......
Could it be that Lance still has unspoken information?
β......β
Alsace's reaction, Lance saw it all.
He came to Hoag House today to look for Arthas, not simply to visit the sick, this can be known from the way he looks at Arthas.
Although he was repeatedly scolded by Arthas as a fool and didn't even understand Arthas's questions, this time, he finally took the initiative.
From this, he proved his guess.
Alsace, absolutely knows the inside story he doesn't know!
"Although the Pure White Blade has not gained any information, isn't this also a kind of information?" said Lance leisurely.
"Lance, make it clear!"
"If the Broken Wings die at the hands of the demons, then they will definitely leave a clue, and if the Broken Wings escape, we will definitely receive the news. But ......"
"But you have found nothing! So you have concluded that there are traitors among you, and they have secretly destroyed all the clues?"
"That's right!"
"Hmph, you don't have any evidence, it's all your personal delusions, maybe it's just because you're too incompetent!" Arthas sarcastically sarcastic.
"What if I told you that the military once found a clue?"
"What?"
"We once received information that traces of Guilty Wings had been found in a hut somewhere in the Everfree Forest, and traces of a fight had been found, as well as the footprints of two humans......"
"However, you didn't find it this time, so you conclude that there are traitors?"
"Yes, the brave man is definitely not dead, and the Ten Knights must still be alive!
"Oh, I see. β
Arthas suppressed the surprise in his heart, pretending not to care, and casually perfunctory.
Sure enough, there's a conspiracy in this!
"Arthas, I ......"
Knock knock.
Lance stopped in the middle of speaking, and outside the door, a female voice as clear as a mountain stream came.
"Hello, I'm looking for Alsace. β
