"You...... What's in your head?!"

There was only one thought left in the boiling head, and finally he was still sensible, and Roland didn't say anything like "hurry up and apologize like the adoptive father of the world", causing unnecessary trouble.

Even from the standpoint of a bystander, Li Lin's speech was a little too mindless, how could anyone shout and kill one minute, and match others the next minute?

"I'll admit it's not good taste. ”

Li Lin shrugged his shoulders and smiled helplessly.

"But don't look at me like this, I also have a lot of respect for the love between young men and women, and it's a good thing to match a shy adolescent rebellious child after completing work. In that sense, I'm a good person. ”

(Even if all the good people in the world die, it will not be your turn to be a good person.) ）

Complaining like an angry roar in his heart, Roland continued to listen patiently.

"Originally, the job was to recycle important objects and clean up people who knew too much, and as for the game or something, it was just a little fun outside of work, so there was no need to go overboard. If the little brother here and Zai Xia get serious, not to mention that all life in the sewer will be wiped out, depending on the situation, it may also affect the ground, that kind of situation is too troublesome, and it will be long-winded. ”

As if he was completely tired of the events outside of the situation, the voice of fatigue could not help but make people feel that he was thinking so from the heart.

But I can only listen to half of this, and half of it is acting.

When the truth and falsehood are mixed together, the credibility of the lie increases. It is accepted unconsciously. For those who know the inside story, this set doesn't work.

Indeed, if Li Lin gets serious, none of the people in the sewer can live to see the sunlight on the ground, but whether it will affect the ground is probably a question mark.

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Keeping on guard, Roland asked lightly.

"Entertainment after work – that's all. If I can't figure it out so clearly, I can't help it. ”

Smiling calmly, Li Lin's tone suddenly changed.

"Or is it still not enough to win the game, and you have to take a serious fight to win?"

“......！！”

Adoptive father's face. With an unfinished expression.

Take the clause in the rules of the game that "the part that does not use the legs for accidents". At the moment when he was exposed to the secret of using his feet, Li Lin was indeed defeated. But if you mess around and make a fuss about the "hands-free" explanation, the game will definitely continue. After all, it's a one-sided game. Rules or something. It's still up to Li Lin to decide.

"Forget it. If you taste all the fun at once, it will be very boring next. Save your favorite dessert for last, it's common sense to eat. ”

Leave that sentence aside. The man in black pulled his hand from his trouser pocket, pressed his right hand to his chest and bowed. The nun behind Roland frowned as if she were in a bad mood. The attentive Diana noticed that although the man in black was secretive, through the faint light, she could faintly see a white cross painted on the back of the black leather gloves, but unlike the sign of the Holy See, the cross was reversed.

- Reverse cross.

The emblem of the Knights of the Anglican Order of the King of Albion, a disguised proof of identity of the country's heretical violent enforcement agency, a repugnant mark.

Functionally, it functions like Imir's heretical inquisitor and "Iscarho", but its target is the adherents of the Old Religion, the rabid dogs who operate in the shadows to defend the state church. Only a few people know about its existence, and those who survive from its minions are even more negligible.

In this way, a qiē can be explained.

It is precisely because of the support and direct instruction of Queen Elizabeth I, the supreme head of the Church of the Church, that these mad dogs can boldly take an unconventional battle, sacrifice a floating cruise ship and prisoners locked in the tower, and enter the sewers under the cover of self-directed and self-staged commotion. Kill the foreign spies and church personnel lurking within, then disguise it as a mysterious disappearance, and recover that vital piece of jewelry without alarming anyone.

It's really a good calculation, but there are also mistakes.

For example, he never thought that the future president of V.E would appear at the scene of the incident, although he could have wiped out Roland and then faked it as an accident. However, at a time when there is a relationship with V.E. and there is a need for the consortium in terms of technology, capital, and international politics, such a move would not be wise. Whether or not the consortium accepts the explanation that Roland died in an accident, it will have a heavy impact on the relationship between the two parties, and the black-clothed Grim Reaper will accept it when he sees it.

Plus the status symbol - this is not even a mistake, a naked provocation.

When acting in secret, it is basic common sense to avoid revealing your identity, and there is no reason to deliberately swagger with a logo. This is not so much carelessness as unscrupulousness, believing that the other party will not be able to escape from his hands, and even if he does, the church, which has suffered a loss and has no evidence, will not say anything about it, and simply take high-profile actions.

In fact, this idea is correct. If Roland hadn't intervened, no one would have escaped, and even if Diana returned to Emir and reported to the Pope. It is impossible for the church to make accusations against Albion on the basis of one-sided statements and in the absence of conclusive evidence, not to mention that this was originally a secret mission that did not see the light, and it failed.

The calculation is really thoughtful.

Even though she was unwilling, Diana had to admit that the other party could move forward and retreat freely, and there was no flaw in her actions.

It's hard to imagine that there is such a figure in this remote island nation, let alone that he has the strength to surpass the Knights of the Round Table, but he has never heard of his name.

Maybe it's because his own personality really doesn't attract the boss's liking, and it's reassuring to put this kind of flawed guy on the table, so he simply let him handle secret affairs full-time, which can be regarded as a suitable appointment.

Diana, who has a serious personality, is convinced of her reasoning. I didn't realize that I was getting farther and farther away from the truth.

It is precisely because I am engaged in a work that does not see the light, and I am surrounded by traps, betrayals, abandonments, and calculations, and it is very easy to follow this seemingly unconscious clue, but I don't know that the slightest inference is actually the clothes that are buttoned wrongly, and one button is in the wrong position, and then there are only mistakes that continue to accumulate.

As long as there is room for imagination, people will follow the trajectory to depict the truth they need - this is the conceptual trap that Li Lin is best at.

The afterglow reflected the nun's guarded face, and she snapped her fingers at the complex gaze that was a mixture of vigilance, hatred, anger, and doubt. Li Lin turned around and disappeared into the dark passage. The human-faced spiders on the wall also turned around and lined up to follow.

In less than a minute, the terrifying feeling of oppression disappeared without a trace, and the feeling of almost suffocating before was like a dream hallucination that never existed. Only the touch of wet and sticky underwear, the large breath, and the corpse on the top of the head and not far away remind that the previous experience is not a hallucination. There was an uncontrollable shiver from the body that was almost so soft that it was on the ground. The vivid feeling of being alive spreads throughout the body with joy and terror.

"Really...... I almost thought I was going to die. ”

"Brother. I think you've probably exhausted all the luck of your life, so be careful in the days to come. ”

Although I felt the same way, this kind of thing was said by a lady...... It's too much. ”

A bitter sigh. Roland didn't even have the strength to put on a wry smile.

The luck of a lifetime...... This is not an exaggeration at all, but Roland would rather not be so lucky.

If it weren't for Li Lin's intention not to kill people, if he was a little more serious, this would be the stage where their lives would end.

This is not an exaggeration, no one knows better than him the strength of his adoptive father, and the incredible efficiency and ruthlessness with which he solves problems.

Therefore, to be able to pick up a life, it is really not possible to express the feeling in your heart with a sentence of "lucky".

But there is something more important than rejoicing.

The war is about to begin—

A pleasant tone, echoing in my head.

It is really unimaginable that Li Lin, who has been suppressing the radical forces in the country and keeping Yalfheim in a state of forbearance until now, would say such a thing. Even if it was clear that this day would come sooner or later, such a drastic strategic shift was really unexpected by Roland.

This is not a big boss who says, "I want a big war that will not be chaotic!" The whole country immediately followed the 180-degree turn, and the whole people turned into automatic killing machines and weapons production lines with a brush. In accordance with the mobilization system of Yarfheim, from the beginning of the wartime system, we began to adjust the direction of economic production and the structure of resource allocation, conscripted reserve troops to complete training, increased military production and transportation scheduling, and prepared weapons, food, clothing, staff manuals, and military supplies from military tickets to coffins in the occupied areas...... It will take at least 3 months to complete the above work. If it doesn't go well, it may have to be extended by a month. This is the fastest mobilization rate in the world based on the system of all people in peacetime. Switching to the Human State and the United Principality of Rus, the speed will only be slower.

The reason for this is that due to the limitations of national strength, Yalfheim's military force can only unleash all the attacking power against one enemy at a time. Once it is mired in a war of attrition, the shortcomings of insufficient national strength and sparse population will surface. Therefore, even if they have to start a war early, the elves will concentrate their efforts and seek a quick victory.

With this as the main premise, it is hard to imagine that they will rashly choose to go to war, and drag themselves into the abyss of confrontation with the whole world without a perfect solution.

So. What could be the reason for this sharp policy shift?

What is it that is about to detonate the war?

Doubts lingered, even forgetting fears and actions, and it was not until Diana repeated the call of "Brother Roland" in his ears that the boy was freed from the confusion of his thoughts.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Ah...... Nothing, distracted. ”

I put my face away from the guilty face for a moment, and put my calm expression back together, but at this time, I noticed a subtle change.

"Where's Miledi?"

The female spy in the center of the storm chaos is no longer in the place where she was before, and there is no sign of the woman in other parts of the sewers.

"You escaped from the chaos just now, right?"

The nun deduced that at the scene of the fierce conflict between Roland and the black-clothed Grim Reaper, sneaking away while everyone was unprepared was indeed something that a female spy who didn't care about her reputation and body would do. The man in black also decided to stop pestering because of this.

Wrong.

Roland denied Diana's reasoning in his heart, in the sewers of the alien creature, it was impossible not to alarm Li Lin to escape. Even in a combat state, that person is always in control of the entire battlefield and will not miss any small changes. This control will continue even after the battle is over.

Can Milady break away from the battlefield controlled by Li Lin? This assumption is not even a joke.

"If you don't hurry up, you can't chase it...... Huh?"

The touch and weight of a foreign object came from the pocket of the jacket, and out of it was a small flannel bag, which was covered with ciphertext written on the outside of the technique to insulate Mana's induction.

"Will it be ......?"

With equal surprise and doubt, the two of them focused their eyes on the small pocket, and the young man carefully untied the pocket, and in the darkness, the sapphire set in the necklace still bloomed with an incredibly soft light.

“Blue.Water......”

Feeling the resonance of blood and soul, Diana groaned the name of the pendant.

A few years ago, the testimony of the friendship between her sister Giel and the Duke of Buckingham, who had not yet taken over the duties of the Holy Maiden, was stolen by Miledy and became the center of the bloody storm.

Known as "blue water", the sapphire pendant that injects water into the technique and means "as deep and gentle as the sea" releases a quiet light in the hands of the young man at this moment.

It wouldn't have been Milady's conscience or she had left important treasures to Roland in order to get rid of the hot potato, and even if she had that thought, she wouldn't have been able to put the gem in Roland's pocket without Roland and Diana noticing.

There is only one person who can do this.

Why?

New questions churned from the bottom of my heart, and the happy smiling face of my adoptive father also emerged.

Most of it was done at the time of the last blow just now.,The skill itself is very fast.,And then use the offsetting inch.,The body is in a state of paralysis and a series of verbal exchanges.,Delay the discovery time.。 I'm afraid that even Milady didn't notice that the jewelry had been taken away, right? After seeing that kind of strength and killing, I believe she wouldn't have any more thoughts of having anything to do with Blue.Water, right?

"Anyway...... It's the end of the matter. ”

Summing up in a detached voice, Diana nodded in agreement, and the tired boy and girl put away their pockets and walked towards the sewer exit.

Diana, who was walking behind, failed to see the teenager who announced the end of the incident, and her brows were furrowed.

It's not over yet.

It's just getting started.

Roland's inner heart, full of doubts and disobedience, was full of uneasy shouts urging the boy to swing his legs harder. (To be continued......)
