Chapter 364 Temporary Retreat

Facing Roland's thanks, Akakaka just waved her hand casually.

"Oh my god...don't be so formal, I'm sorry. I just mentioned it like that, you just forget it after hearing it. You still have to walk your own way. No matter how good I say it, it's useless."

Having said that, his expression became lazy again.He stretched out his hand and scratched the scar at the corner of his eye, and his tone became more serious: "That...Little Roland, let me say it again, you must forget what I just said, I am serious. I just want to point out your shortcomings, no Telling you 'ah, you're absolutely fine just doing this'. I'm not promising you anything, but I dare say you're doing more harm than good if you accept my previous advice in its entirety."

"I will judge carefully, Your Excellency."

Roland replied seriously.

"Ah... that's good."

Seeing Roland, who had always maintained a humble attitude, Akakaka raised the corners of his mouth inadvertently and was immediately suppressed.But the smile at that moment was accurately captured by Roland.

Immediately, Roland's heart that had been hanging secretly finally let go.

Akakakaka is known for his changeable personality, and those who are not familiar with him will think that he is a difficult person to get along with.But in fact this person understands very well.

The biggest contradiction of this person is that he is obviously a very casual person, but he resents other people not following the rules.

Because for Chi Kajika, business is business, and you must not smile when you are talking to him about business, otherwise, although he doesn't show it on his face, he will think this person is unreliable.

But Roland didn't really like Akakaka Hana very much.It's not because of his usual sissy, or because of his violent aesthetics, or even because of Chi Kajika's somewhat hypocritical character, but because Roland is fundamentally at odds with him.

That kind of prodigal son's free personality is undoubtedly synonymous with irresponsibility in Roland's view.Roland was even more disgusted by Akakaka's violent impulse, which she tried so hard to suppress but couldn't.

Roland prefers his disciple Arthur or the Marquis of Saya compared to Akajika.

In Roland's view, only people like them can be regarded as real nobles.

They define the meaning of their birth into the world and the meaning of their life, and regard it as their lifelong belief, firmly believing it.They are never confused or hesitant. No matter what situation they face in life, they go all out to achieve their set goals in life, with clear goals and a hard-working steely will.

Such people are probably extinct by now.That is the spirit that only nobles in the golden age possess.

Roland admired this will as strong as steel.This unshakable belief in sticking to one's own belief itself has an excellent appeal and leadership.As for the red flower, Roland only had a faint respect, but this did not affect Roland's acceptance of the beneficial part of his point of view.

It is indeed time for Roland to change his mind——

But just when Roland was thinking about how to ask Akashika to demonstrate Bansa's killing swordsmanship, he scratched his cheek and asked hesitantly: "Um...little Roland, have you ever done it before? Did you say that Master Saya wanted to invite me over?"

Aha, you old man finally remembered... It's really exciting to wake up.

Roland couldn't help cursing.

"That's right," Roland said seriously, "The Marquis of Saya thinks the Earl is suspected of being a cultist."

"... Heretics?"

Immediately, Akakawa showed a surprised expression.

Even though the number of cultists gathered in Karal is not small, it is really incredible that you are an earl and a cultist.

"Lord Marquis doesn't believe it either, but the whistleblower is conclusive. He even listed some evidence for the Marquis to prove that this is indeed a gathering place for 'Twilight Followers'—"

When Roland said this, Roland faintly felt some extremely hidden fluctuations slowly drifting towards him behind him.

It was the eye of the sky, a sorcery used by astrological wizards in spying and eavesdropping.

If it weren't for Roland's characteristics of being a contact person at dusk, he wouldn't have noticed the slightest sign with his perception attributes approaching the [-]th mark, and the red Kaji flower opposite Roland didn't even feel anything strange.

Knowing that he was being eavesdropped by Edward and that everything he said would reach Edward's ears, Roland still lowered his voice and read word by word: "The Marquis of Saya hopes that I can come here and find someone who can take care of things to explain to him. situation, and then cooperate with the Druids to arrest them."

"...Even the Druids are dispatched?"

Akajika's expression became serious.

Roland nodded silently: "You'd better go out with me first and stay away from here. I'm worried that this place may be cursed by cultists and use some kind of eavesdropping or surveillance magic."

"Whatever, you decide."

Akazuka shrugged: "I'm being random... But I think, if there is really someone, he should have left when he just heard what you said."

"Probably. But that's good, at least it can save some people from dying, isn't it?"

Roland smiled slightly: "In any case, the people of Richero are innocent. If the cultists are really scared away because of my words, at least the civilians in this city can be protected from accidental death due to fighting."

"...Although I don't hate your thinking, but..."

Akakihua sighed, swallowed the second half of the sentence, and continued after being silent for a while.

"This is a necessary evil. Salvation without sacrifice is meaningless. There is no perfect law in this world. If the cultists here escape successfully today, although people in this city will not be sacrificed, there will be people from other places will die because of them."

Chi Kajika couldn't help sighing: "Little Roland, you are so kind. You are so kind to stupid."

With Roland's words, the focus of the topic shifted from "whether the earl has an affair with the cultists" and "whether the cultists exist" to "should the cultists be let go".Maybe Akajika didn't notice it, maybe she didn't care about it, anyway, Roland didn't take his opinion seriously.

"Then come with me, Your Excellency Arzu."

"Wait a minute. Wait for me to change my clothes... I also feel that the atmosphere here is not right. It's so quiet and scary... This is really not a place to stay for a long time."

Yawning, Akakawa Hana walked into her room a little bored.Roland breathed a sigh of relief and waited for him to come out at the door.

Akajika's words also reminded Roland.This place is really not a place to stay for a long time.Edward was just downstairs staring at him. Roland learning swordsmanship from this place was tantamount to exposing his abilities to him.

Roland has already exposed a mercury enchanting technique and an elf sword technique, which has satisfied Edward's guess about Roland's progress.

Rather, to be able to master elf swordsmanship within a month is already the limit of a genius.

But by the same token, Roland could not directly tell Chikahana Edward about it.Now Roland's advantage is that he is in the dark, while Edward is in the light; Roland knows the details of Edward, but Edward does not know that Roland already knows the details of himself.

After all, Akajika is just a golden step looking for cornerstone elements, and he has not officially awakened the origin.If Edward found that something was wrong and wanted to run, Roland didn't have the confidence to stop him.

If Edward is wary of Roland, he will definitely use a more secretive and difficult-to-discover method next time he plots against Roland.The only way is to let Edward go for the time being, and then kill him decisively when Roland is sure to crush Edward to death in one breath.

This request is actually not very difficult, as long as Kakarit returns to Roland's side, it will be enough.

　Ask for a ticket...By the way, the prototype of Chikajika is Yakuza's Mashima (stand up)
