Violet Orchestra

"That's not true." Dewindola admitted without letting others take the blame for him, "He didn't want to say it at first, but we used Rosa's relics to exchange news with him, which is of course better for him than you. information is much more important.”

"But he failed Petra's trust."

Violet is not a very kind person, it is difficult for him to completely trust a person, but he will choose to believe everything the other person says - he has suffered from this, but he still can't change it. I don't want people around me to suffer from the same mistakes as him.

So when he was in the Black Forest, he had reservations about Malediz. Even though the other party was Petra's fellow countryman, Petra showed enough trust in Maleditz, but he still didn't reveal them to the other party. whereabouts.Unexpectedly, even if he was careful enough, he would still be taken advantage of.

"For the Sancho people, the family and clan are the most important existence." Dewendora said, "You are just outsiders, understand?"

"Petra is also a member of your clan, what happened?" Violet asked back.

"Catherine—"

"Don't use Catherine's disciples as an excuse," the poet suddenly interrupted her proficient speech, her tone became cold, "You grew up with Petra, I think you know what she is like better than I do Even if—I mean, even if her father is really a follower of Catherine, so what? You claim to believe in the god of rocks, and you don’t even trust the priestesses chosen by your own gods?"

He was clearly still the tightly bound, mud-covered mess, looking extremely weak, but suddenly became strong, Dewendola didn't know how to refute his words for a while.

"You see, when you have doubts, even what you have always believed can't stand up to scrutiny." Violet looked at her fearlessly, and even felt a little pitiful for her, "I don't know who bypassed The point made you believe that crappy 'stain', but in my opinion faith is a very personal thing, it's not affected by blood and origin, because even the gods themselves depend on believers' beliefs to survive, what do they have How about finding fault with your own believers?"

He is no longer in a hurry to think of a way to escape, because judging from the situation in front of him, maybe he can directly persuade Dewendora to give up her pursuit of Petra.

But things didn't always satisfy him. Just when he thought he was about to persuade Dewendora, Elaine came with a letter from Petra.

Dewendora read the letter first, and then glanced at them again. The hesitant expression on her face gradually disappeared, but there was an unpredictable smile in her eyes: "It seems that she really cares about you."

"What?" Violet frowned, subconsciously turned to look at Elaine.

He asked Elaine, but it was Dewendora who took the initiative to answer. She shook the letter in her hand and stood up: "She is going to replace you with herself. Congratulations, poet."

"No need to—"

"My patience is limited," Dewindora got on the horse and turned around after hearing the words, "We've talked long enough, you should learn to be content."

She didn't stay any longer, and left with her own cavalry team.Seeing that she didn't intend to embarrass them, Elaine quickly untied Violet's hands and feet and asked, "How are you?"

Violet didn't bother to answer this, he was full of thoughts about the letter from Petra, immediately grabbed Elaine's sleeve after being rescued, and asked inappropriately: "What was written in the letter?"

He knew in his heart that of course there was only one reason for Dewendora to leave so directly, but after Elaine told him what happened, Violet was still extremely disturbed.

"Are you sure it's by the lake?" he asked.

Elaine nodded: "Petra showed me the letter before leaving, and then sealed it."

The dry lake is not far from here, but the terrain in the wilderness is a bit complicated, and it will take some time to reach it even by riding a horse. Petra obviously chose this place to give him time to get out of trouble, so that Dewendora can't do anything. Looking back to trouble him... But, is she really there?

He couldn't see the letter with his own eyes, but Dewendora's expression after reading the letter told him that things might not be that simple.

"Let's go." He stood up and moved his stiff hands and feet, casually dealt with the bruises and abrasions from the rope, and then motioned Elaine to go to the lake with him, "I have to go and see what's going on. "

Elaine, on the other hand, expressed a rare dissent.

"Birkins and Hodge have already gone, and I promise them to ensure your safety first."

"I'm already safe. Dewendora didn't intend to touch me." The more Violet thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he didn't have time to explain to him how he talked to Dewendora just now. He just said, " Petra may have done something with the letter, she shouldn't let you read the letter because of her character, we have to find her—"

He was concentrating on fooling Dewendora just now, but he didn't expect Petra to find a way to lure him away so quickly, and didn't even give him a chance to continue fooling, but instead sent himself to the door.What Dewendora said before leaving was really meaningful. He suspected that Petra didn't go to the lake at all, and Dewendora knew what trick she was playing, but she didn't say it on purpose to let him know.

He knew Petra and had just been with Dewendora for a while. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his conjecture was highly credible, but he ignored Elaine's thoughts invisibly.

Elaine didn't know anything, but felt that his behavior was abnormal and unreasonable. Seeing that Dewendora had led people away, he was also anxious to help save Petra, and couldn't help raising his voice in desperation: "Violet, calm down first!"

The poet was startled, and finally calmed down from all kinds of messy guesses.

He looked pitiful, not only was his body covered in gray, his hair was also messed up, his hands and feet could not be covered by his clothes, his expression was dazed for a moment after being drunk, almost like a helpless little animal .But he immediately came back to his senses, thinking of Petra who might have been in danger, the expression on his face quickly cooled down.

"She might not be by the lake," he explained his thoughts to Elaine as calmly as possible, regardless of whether the words were appropriate or whether there were grammatical errors, he spoke clearly in the shortest possible time, and then went straight to Looking straight at each other, "She sent you and Birkins away because they want to die, I have to find her, understand?"

This might be his worst gaffe in the last ten years, but he can't care less about it.Fortunately, Elaine was finally persuaded by him, and they set off immediately, stalking Devendola and his party from a distance behind, because they had no other way of knowing Petra's whereabouts except for unskilled tracking.

The female warriors were not riding fast, and Dewindora didn't seem to ask them to speed up, like a hunter determined to catch the prey, which made Violet even more disturbed.Sure enough, after following for a while, the leading horse suddenly changed direction and walked towards the entrance of the canyon.

Although he had been so skeptical before, when things really developed in the direction he expected, Violet was not at all happy.

"...They really didn't go to the lake."

Elaine's mood was even worse, and he was overwhelmed by self-blame and regret. He began to reflect on why he didn't find anything wrong with the letter, since Petra graciously let him read the letter, he shouldn't have found nothing, more One should not be convinced of the contents of the letter——

"Run fast, go find Birkins and Hodge immediately," Violet saw that his mood was wrong, but Violet had no time to comfort him, so he could only put the situation at hand first, "I will continue to follow They will leave marks along the road, and according to this direction, I guess Dewindora should be taking people to the bunker, and we will meet there."

"You still have injuries on your body, and you don't have the ability to protect yourself..."

"That's why I entrust you with the task of notifying." Violet interrupted his concern and tied up the hem of his robe in order to hurry, "Go, I can't save Petra by myself, I Know."

His words were more like a promise than a statement, Elaine barely calmed down, nodded, turned and ran towards the dry lake.

No matter how good Violet's tracking skills are, a two-legged man can never run a four-legged horse, not to mention that he is a guy who can even walk slower than ordinary people.When he followed to the outer edge of the bunker, Devendola's cavalry team had already entered the bunker, and he did not know which path to leave.

Xilan's bunker is a fortification, and the interior is like a maze. It is obviously not a good idea to enter alone rashly. He had to wait at the entrance for a while, and he was relieved when he saw three figures running towards him from a distance.

"Go in?" Birkins frowned and glanced at the deep entrance.

The poet nodded, his face was a little pale: "I lost it when I followed here. I'm not sure about the specific direction inside, so I'll wait for you together."

"Are you injured?" Hodge noticed the wounds on his hands and feet that were covered in sand and dirt, "That woman, seeing your delicate skin and tender flesh, also has the heart to hit you hard?"

"The rope is frayed, it's okay." Violet brushed off the sand carelessly, "Let's go in quickly."

They entered the bunker one after another. Since they were not familiar with the terrain and did not know the exact direction, they did not dare to split up. Instead, Hodge chose a direction and went forward one by one.Violet was caught in the middle of the team by them, and Elaine kept trying to talk to him during the advance, but he deliberately ignored them.

He knew it wasn't Elaine's fault, and he shouldn't be angry with the other party, but he couldn't help but think that if Elaine had been more cautious, if he had come later, the result might have been different——

There is a kind of person who always selfishly makes excuses for himself when he encounters irreparable mistakes, and Violet knew that he had lived too long to become such a nuisance.

He didn't want to, but he still couldn't help thinking that if someone could stop Petra...

No if.

Things have happened, he can only do his best to restore.
