Chapter 223: Mochizuki Crisis (3)
Today is December 25th, noon. After some twists and turns, Susan and Zoe set out from the Valley of the Reds, along the banks of the River of Moonlight, past the east side of the heavily guarded City of Miracles, and with the help of horses from the traveling merchants of Eastmarket Market, Susan and Zoe headed northeast.
Susan never forgot Glori's words echoing through the woods, nor did she forget Auraya's advice. She knew she had to get the message out to Xavier in Mochizuki City, but the journey wasn't going well. They were chased by vigilant patrols, went into hiding, and endured multiple fasting attempts. Susan endured all this silently in order to take care of Zoe, and her mouth was always the same sentence "I will take care of you, and we will reach Mochizuki City". Whether she was injured or covered in mud, she didn't think about abandoning Zoe, let alone leaving alone.
And what about Zoe, her injuries were severe from fatigue, she was groggy all the time, she was either dragged onto the boat by Susan or carried into the carriage by Susan, and the most difficult thing was the pain of knowing about Glori, Dylan, and Aolaya. Now, on Susan's horseback, she fell asleep quietly, even though it was bumpy. She is brave and flamboyant, but she knows that she can't make Susan more sad because of herself, and it is already a very difficult thing for Susan to tell herself everything that happened, so it is best to keep quiet, otherwise the anger in her heart will explode in exchange for making Susan cry - Susan, Glori, and Dylan are partners who grew up together. And Zoe herself had such companions, but where were they? Zoe had seen some of them die. Thinking of this, Zoe had to think about something pleasant about her time with the Rocky Warband.
While Zoe was trying to break free from her grief, the immortal iron-leaved trees and evergreen sparse pine loyalty forests had come into Susan's sight.
"Zoe, we're here. In front of it is Mochizuki Castle. Susan tried to wake up Zoe. Of course Zoe heard her voice, she had slept enough, and she just wanted to be quiet, so she didn't speak.
The west gate opened, and the guards recognized Susan at a glance. "Miss Susan has arrived, and she is going to tell the lord of the city. The guard shouted.
"We need to see Gen Xavier. Susan said eagerly, and only then jumped off the horse.
"Lord Xavier, you must not know about this, he is in prison. The guard replied.
"How? We have to meet him, because we have something important to convey. Susan said. At this time, Leo arrived. But Leo's expression was so distressed that Susan didn't react for a while. And her mind is even more complicated.
Susan...... I'm sorry, you're late," Leo swallowed, and two puffs of heat poured out of his nose, "Evan, it's all good things Evan did...... "He wanted to spit out everything that happened last night, but the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Last night, when Xavier was restrained, Leo had a rough fight with Evan. They made a mess of the conference room in the lord's hall, and even the door panels were not spared.
"Wait, I'll have to get you the news on you anyway. Martin and Guy laid siege to us in the Valley of the Reds. Now, the whereabouts of Glori, Dylan, and Oraya are unknown, or they have ......" Susan was in pain, but had to say it word for word. She also bit her lip, refusing to accept the reality and sending blessings to her friends. She wanted them to be safe, but she saw with her own eyes waves of fire engulfing everything.
Leo saw Susan's sad look and forced his anger to confide. Now was not the time to talk, she was pathetic, he thought. "Silver and Wolfer have long been allied, they have robbed the Revival Legion, and they have also taken the glaive and Redreeve City by stratagem. At this point, it's no surprise that they're doing this kind of thing again. But what happened to me is really amazing to me. But I'm sure they won't die so easily. He reassured. He didn't want anything to happen to the people of the Rocky Warband, because they were all good people. That being said, but at that time, the things he had cooperated with the Rocky Warband on his adventures were all revealed, which made him anxious. Then, when he thought about the things around him, he was a little confused.
"Lord Leo, you'd better go and meet Lord Evan and tell him about it. It is important that things related to the Golden Covenant should be done with caution. The guard officer reminded.
"Help me get Miss Zoe off her horse, she needs a place to rest. Then, he went to the priest in the city and helped her to see the extent of her injuries, which were not lightly wounded. Leo glanced at Zoe, frowned, and then told the guard.
Susan discovers that Leo's changes seem to have been caused by Xavier's affair and the Rocky Warband's affair. This time, she didn't hear Leo's confident words greet her, nor did she see Leo's gentlemanly manners. She knew Xavier's matter must be serious.
"What the hell is wrong with Lord Xavier?" said Zoe when Susan was about to ask. At this point, she had just been lifted onto a stretcher. She saw the man she had met when she came to Mochizuki Castle, and the painting of the god of light that hid it came to mind. She watched as he and his companions lifted themselves up. She was relieved that the man had become a guard, the only thing that could give her peace of mind - since she had been here.
"I'm sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear. My mentor was locked up by Evan because of a few letters. Leo frowned again.
"Letters?" asked Susan. She kept up with Leo and was about to make her way to the Great Hall of Lords.
"Yes, it must have been Job. But Evan was about to draw his sword, and I had a fight with him last night," Leo said, lifting his sleeve, "and see, my wound was his hand, and he left his fingerprints. However, he was not happy, I beat his nose and face were swollen, and he also ate a pancake saucer. With that, Leo looked much better. But in the blink of an eye, his brow appeared again, because he couldn't figure out what was wrong with Evan and wanted to arrest his mentor.
"What is Job doing here, Leo, it's not you. You have to be calm, you have to be as usual. You should be clear. Zoe reminded. She breathed a sigh of relief and went to see Susan. "Susan, I'm going to have to heal for a while, I don't like nagging. The rest is up to you. ”
"Miss Susan doesn't like to talk to me, she thinks about Glorie Carlos. Leo said casually. As the words came out, he realized that he had been too loose, at least since last night. He shuddered, admonishing himself to do the same as usual. Glori Carlos is a very calm person, and if I want to keep up with him, then I have to be myself – he thought.
Leo's words, on the contrary, made Susan sad. She hung her head, not daring to lift it, for fear of crying the moment she was discovered.
So, Leo smiled. He didn't just feel that something was becoming clear, he saw Susan's actions. "Zoe, thank you for reminding me. Of course, thank you Miss Susan, you have helped me a lot. He said. Then, he began to think.
"Willing to help. But our message was still late, there were too many things to experience along the way, and it shouldn't have been like this. Susan shrugged. She was a little deflated, and still low.
Later, there was Leo's words. "As messengers, you are not too bad, at least sober me up. Leo bowed. He wanted to make Susan relax a little bit in this way. Next, he was going to talk to Evan calmly. It's a big deal, he thought. It's better to solve everything than to let the problem be blocked.
"So, do you have any plans? for the current situation, or for Xavier. Susan wiped the corners of her eyes and asked. She watched as Zoe was carried away into a street that led to the church. And Zoe brushed her eyes, and everything she had to express was in it - everything would be fine.
"Right now, we are at the door of the main hall. Inside is the Evan who seems to be confident and arrogant, but in fact only knows how to make people angry. Leo clenched his fists and said with a smile. He took a step forward, and with this step, the floor resounded crisply, as if to tell Evan that his anger was still there, and that he would either come out and solve everything or be beaten.
"Leo, you should really look at your family's portrait and reflect on it, and seriously learn the etiquette of a gentleman. Now, I don't want to see you at all!" Evan's voice came down the staircase hallway.
"Evan, you should really listen to Miss Susan's message, the Rocky Warband and Oraya have an accident, and you are still hiding, and you don't dare to explain what happened last night!" Leo shouted directly. He smiled at the guards and spread his hands, showing his disdain for Evan.
"Of course, I will deal with what Miss Susan conveyed. As for you, you have to apologize to me first. Otherwise, I won't pay attention to you. Evan said. The voice was harsh, and after passing through the hallway, it was still so loud.
"Are you arguing? But you're arguing like children who don't grow up, that's not okay. Susan said. She saw Leo's smile come up, but she pressed it down. This far-fetched approach made her feel funny.
"Leo, here I am. You'd better come to me yourself, I'm not going to see you. Evan was at a stalemate.
"Yes, my dear brother Evan, honorable lord of the city. Of course I have to go see you, or you'll be blind. Leo was angry.
So, Susan followed Leo to find Evan. At his desk, Evan stared at the letters found in Job's package before pointing to the door before turning his gaze to Leo.
"yes, I need to close the door to prevent your men from reading the joke. Leo straightened his chest, then coughed.
"That's enough, Leo! I can let you know everything, but if you do it again, you'll be the one with the bruised nose and swollen face!" Evan stood up and shoved the letters into a drawer.
"But when the time comes, you'll be satisfied. I'm not going to do that. And the anger is only this one," Leo stepped forward to take Evan's full glass, "Then listen to what you say?"
