Blood of Mercury

Roland followed Akakajika all the way back to Marquis Saya's mansion.

For some reason, Marquis Saya was not at home. So Roland and Chikajihua were led by the housekeeper to the living room. After they were respectfully settled, the housekeeper went down to prepare tea and cakes.

Roland glanced lightly around him, and found that Chikajika kept her mouth tightly closed as if she didn't want to say anything, so Roland simply closed his eyes to sort out his thoughts.

After Roland agreed to leave with Akakaka, a faint sense of crisis began to emerge in Roland's heart. It was a feeling that someone was planning something against him, but Roland's intuition told him that his life was not in danger.

After the perceptual attribute broke through 20, Roland's intuition underwent a qualitative change. Although he has not yet acquired the intuition characteristics such as "intuition sharp" and "intuition evasion", Roland can already foresee some crises that will happen to him.

At the same time as this premonition of danger appeared, Roland realized that he had fallen into a new trap - or, in other words, fell into the trap of a new planner.

Think about it - first let Roland go to the Count, then let the Count come to a timed self-destruction, and then call a team of regular soldiers with unknown numbers and a target that attracts Roland's attention to watch Roland's "crime". After unable to bear the shot, Jing Nest shot and killed most of the regular army, forcing Roland to use magic to silence... Finally, let Chikaji appear in a specific location at a specific time.

The original plan was closely linked, but after the last link was added, it became full of flaws.

It took so much manpower, material resources and energy to say that in the end it was just to frame Roland, Roland himself didn't believe it. This kind of layout is troublesome and has many variables, and the gains cannot make up for his losses. If you think about Roland a little, you can feel that something is wrong.

From the crystal nest, it was all for the purpose of forcing Roland to use divine magic, the purpose of which was nothing more than to make Roland wanted or leave the city. If the Wind Whisperer knew about Joseph, it might be to force Roland away temporarily and then prepare to rob him. Very neat and tidy, while completing some kind of Roland-related conspiracy. By the way, a team of regular troops died in the city of Richero, causing great trouble to Marquis Sayar, and causing Richero to fall into a state of chaos without the city owner, and perhaps the functionality of the experimental crystal nest. and the purpose of killing with a knife. Even if Roland jumped out. Looking back at it from the perspective of God, I can only say that it is beautiful.

After accepting the task of Marquis Saya, Roland had no choice at all. In front of each unique solution Roland made, there was the next trap set by the Wind Whisperer, and Roland could only follow the plan of the Wind Whisperer step by step. Unless Roland doesn't care about anything, just flip the table.

But after adding Akakaji Hana, the whole plan looks particularly stupid.

To know. Akakaji Hana and Marquis Saya are a type of people who have their own ideas and surprises, making it difficult to judge their behavior patterns.

And the wind whisperer doesn't move Akakaji flowers at all. Roland can only say that the person who made Chikajika "accidentally" appear there in the end must not be the Wind Whisperer. The purpose of the Wind Whisperer was all completed when Crystal Nest appeared. No matter whether Roland silenced those people or not, the final result was in his favor.

But after Akakajihua forcibly inserted in, the Wind Whisperer's plan had already failed.

Akakaji flower suddenly appeared in the earl's mansion, and was targeted by Edward. This shows that he exists to prevent something. This kind of prevention must not have been set by the Windspeaker, so there is only the "second person" who is unknown to the enemy.

Summarize the characteristics of this "second person" a little: he or she has a certain understanding of Roland; contrary to the windspeaker's position; knowing the earl or having a higher status in Caral, at least allowing Akakaji to live in the VIP House.

To sum up, if you exclude those people that Roland has never contacted, there is only one person left.

"Falina...?"

Roland pondered, his eyes deep.

What exactly does she want to do?

Just as Roland was thinking, the butler came over with a small tray of refreshments and a pot of tea.

It was a small dish of pink flaky pastry with a strong floral scent, looking like a squashed flower. Roland twisted one of them and put it in his mouth, and the soft, sweet, sweet taste melted on the tip of his tongue. Then Roland picked up the small teacup and took a sip of the crystal-run red tea soup.

Feel the sweet taste coming from the tip of your tongue. Roland was stunned.

[You are infected by a moderate amount of poison, check your physique... Firmness succeeds, repeating firm constitution... Firmness fails]

[Because of your special occupation (death crow), you have a half-undead template]

【You are not infected】

[Check perception...successful check; check poison common sense...check successful. You feel the poison coming from the withered skull]

Withered skull?

Roland knows this poison. different from its name. This is an enhanced version of Sleeping Poison. Once poisoned, he will make the poisoned person become depressed, weak, slow in movement, and need at least 20 hours of sleep every day, just like becoming an old man.

in many places. This is standard for house arrest of some enemy nobles. As long as a small to medium amount of withered and white skull is mixed into the daily tea, it is enough to easily control the person under house arrest. Every day, he does not want to do anything but sleep, and sleeping can also bring a considerable degree of satisfaction.

Why use this poison?

... under house arrest? Is this interesting?

Roland raised his eyebrows and calmly drank all the black tea.

The Dead Crow is immune to normal poisons, not to mention the withered skull, even the highly poisonous Roland such as the faint blue light and the kiss of the snake demon can easily save.

Anyway, the death of the crow is equivalent to already dead. He doesn't even have a heartbeat, and his body has no temperature. His blood has been completely replaced by mercury, and his torso can be converted into mercury at any time. More like elemental creatures than humans.

Akakajika took out the withered and white skull, which showed that he had no intention of killing himself. Then you can linger with the other party for a while, and maybe you will be able to confirm the existence of Farina.

After confirming that Chikajika didn't want to hear his explanation at all, Roland didn't bother to explain his magic. The more he said, the more wrong he was, and Roland didn't want to waste his energy thinking about things that didn't matter.

Very tacit understanding, Akakajihua did not mention the previous matter, he just stared out the window in a daze.

"Mr. Roland..."

After about a cup of tea, he looked back at Roland and sighed deeply.

"What a pity...why are you an undead."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Roland frowned slightly.

"I've felt it since when you grabbed my wrist... Your hand is so cold. It's like a dead person."

Chikajika crossed her hands and placed her chin on her chin, staring fixedly at Roland. After a long time, she suddenly smiled: "However, since you didn't attack me before, I decided to trust you."

"You've said that before."

"I'm serious this time."

Facing Roland's cynicism, Akakajika nodded without shame: "It's not the same as before."

Roland didn't speak, just looked at him.

Akajika smiled slightly and asked Roland politely: "Although the request is a bit rash, I ask for your understanding... We hope you can stay here for a while."

"A period of time?" Roland's mouth twitched slightly, with a mocking smile on his face, "How long is this period?"

"It won't be long."

The one who spoke was Marquis Saya who entered from the door.

His voice was steady, and his eyes never left Roland's body.

"what……"

Roland suddenly had a conjecture, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Can I ask, what's the reason?"

Akakajika looked back at Marquis Saya, Marquis Saya nodded, so he turned around and said to Roland seriously: "An adult told us that an undead is going to release a plague in Richero. The second plague can't even touch the druids, and once it begins to spread, there is no choice but to burn the suspected infected."

"It's not me," Roland replied simply, "I'm the priest of the Lord of Ghosts, not the priest of the mud in the gutter of Ke Lanwo. You should also be able to feel the death domain."

"That's right."

Akakajika nodded slowly: "That's when I ruled out your suspicions. But just in case... Please forgive me. The lord did not say that the undead was the priest of Ke Lanwo."

"Understandable~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Then I'll stay here first, just to rule out my suspicion," Roland smiled and nodded, "After all, there are not many countries that allow the undead to live, I don't want to bear the burden of inexplicable wanted on charges."

Speaking of this, as if he suddenly remembered, Roland asked casually, "By the way, who is the sacred 'that lord'?"

Akakaji Hana's face suddenly sullen, and she remained silent.

After hesitating for a while, Marquis Saya said quietly, "I can't reveal her name. She is a great Druid... She was promoted not long ago, and she is also one of the newly promoted members of the Ring of Earth."

Enough is enough.

Roland nodded with a smile, and the light in his eyes gradually subsided.

- It's Farina. There is no other possibility.

"Then it's time for me to start coping."

Roland's lips moved slightly and said silently. (To be continued.)
