394 Mist
Two hours had passed by the time Roland and Chikaka crossed the crowd to find Marquis Saya.

It's not that they didn't look for it carefully, the main reason is that the Marquis of Saya didn't bring out his entourage.Finding a moving person in a quarter of a city is definitely not that easy.

Moreover, in such a crowded crowd, it was difficult for Roland and the others to move. Occasionally, Roland's high perception accidentally discovered a few survivors, and then dug them out from under the wreckage of the building.

Such behavior undoubtedly delayed them a lot of time.But neither Roland nor Chikahana complained about this.

Although Roland could see that a look of extreme anxiety had appeared on Akajika's face, he did not show any carelessness towards those rescued because of this.Even every time he rescued a person, his eyes shone with the dazzling light of being saved as if he had been saved.

Perhaps in his view, these people are suffering because of their own sake.Akajika's big rough hands, which are used to hold various weapons, are extremely calm when used to move bricks at the moment.Roland pointed out that someone survived somewhere, so he walked over in three steps and two steps, stretched out his hand to lift up the stones one by one, and put them steadily behind him.

Although both of them knew that if Roland could use divine magic, the rescue efficiency would be greatly improved, but Chikajika never made such impolite requests to Roland.

Because he also knew that this was tantamount to putting Roland in danger.To put it bluntly, he really knows the Karal people too well.Even if he and Roland rescued these people with their own hands, there would definitely be the kind of Karal people who would sell Roland to a passing druid.

The simplicity of the Caral people is limited to the natives.In their minds, there seems to be a strange way of thinking that foreigners are not considered human beings.

Therefore, even if Chikawa knew that if Roland could expand the field like yesterday, both the speed of finding victims and the efficiency of excavation would be doubled, he never thought of that.

Driven by some inexplicable guilt, he subconsciously developed a desire to protect Roland.

It can also be said that he regards Roland as his friend and his guest.

That is the culture of "respecting customers" that the mountain people are proud of.People who are provided food and drink by the Fararo people are their guests, and the Fararo people are obliged to protect the lives of their guests.

This kind of behavior that deeply divides passers-by and friends into a line has made these simple and honest fat people popular all over the world in Farnese.Maybe someone likes a selfless person as a friend, but no one will reject a friend who thinks about you and protects you sincerely.

This is the deepest routine and the deepest wisdom in the mountain culture.

Treat each other with sincerity, an eye for an eye.Therein lies the secret of the softness of the Fararoese.

But they also have their own shortcomings, that is, they easily fall into the trap of being dominant.Or more specifically, they are easily deceived and therefore fearful of being deceived themselves.On the contrary, it will make you more susceptible to deception.

Roland and Falina's layout is based on this.There is no doubt that the protagonist here at this moment is Akashika, not Roland.

His every move involves the life and death of those around him.One of his thoughts can even decide whether Richero exists or not.

Roland remembered very clearly that during these two hours, Chi Kajihua rescued a total of nine people.Counting digging them out, cleaning and bandaging their wounds with Roland, and then putting them in place, it took more than an hour.

Therefore, it can be said that it was pure luck that they were able to find the Marquis of Saya before noon.When he saw them, Marquis Saya couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"Alzu, if Roland comes out, then..."

His gaze paused for a moment on Akatsuki flower, and then gathered on Roland, frowning slightly: "...Is there any problem?"

"Yes."

Chi Kajika took a step forward, staring at Marquis Saya with burning eyes and said, "I think there is a big problem with our previous thinking."

"This is a letter sent to you in the morning. There are golden vines on the wax seal. It should be from the Archdruid." Roland handed the letter sealed with red flowers to the Marquis of Saya from his arms. "Although I am very rude, but the situation is urgent, there is a high possibility that there is some key information in this letter... I think you will be too busy to go home during this time, so I have to let you see this letter now Just do it."

These words were discussed between Roland and Chikahana before.

They decided to send the letter to Marnos, see his reaction, and then comment on his innocence.

However, if it was the red flower that was handed to Marnos, their intentions would be too obvious.If Roland gave him the letter, although it is still impolite to put a personal letter that no one else has read into his pocket and might annoy some people, it is better than Akakaka Hana directly giving him the letter and then questioning him. Behavior is much milder.

The letter is not too long.Taking advantage of the time when the Marquis of Saya was reading the letter, Chi Kajihua told the Marquis of Saya word by word the deduction that Roland told him. Because there are ordinary people around, they can only adopt a slightly more cautious statement. , dare not mix sensitive words such as "plague" and "pollution" in the words.But the Marquis of Saya obviously heard what Akakawa Flower meant, and he couldn't help frowning for a moment.

"Yes, your judgment is correct."

Contrary to Akajika's expectations, the Marquis of Saya put down the letter paper, folded it repeatedly and put it in his breast pocket, and simply admitted his mistake: "It's my problem. Roland is probably just a cover. He doesn't make any sense, and we need to assign a strong person to stare at him, why not let him join the investigation."

Having said that, he turned his gaze to Roland: "How, Roland? Do you agree?"

"My pleasure."

Roland bowed slightly to pay tribute, with a sincere tone.

The Marquis of Saya nodded in satisfaction, handed the key to Arsu, and said solemnly: "Then, let's go to the No. Alright, I'll chase you away."

"Then let's go first."

Roland nodded, and left the crowd with Arzu, who was clearly in a state of confusion.

"Roland, could he..."

"Actually, we guessed right. This incident is related to the Marquis of Saya."

Roland spoke in a low voice as he walked, and interrupted Chi Kajika's question in a calm voice: "Don't you think he is too calm? Think about your emotions when you read that letter, are you very excited?" ,incredible?"

"……Correct."

"So, here is the biggest loophole."

Although Roland said this, he already knew it in his heart.

There are two things that can be confirmed-Marquis Saya does not fully understand Farina, and he is also one of the people manipulated by Farina.But even though Roland had just learned that the Marquis of Saya was innocent in this incident, but now, in order to prevent Chi Kajihua from being confused and guessing everywhere, he could only temporarily pin the blame on Marnos.

The second thing is that the Marquis of Saya has discovered that Roland and Chi Kajika have read his letter.

He confirmed the reason for this matter, Roland had no idea at all.Maybe there's something imprinted on the letter that can only be triggered the first time someone looks at it?Or is it a special paper that leaves marks on the fingertips of those who touch it?

In short, after seeing the way the Marquis of Saya glanced at him after reading the letter, Roland's intuition told him very clearly that the Marquis of Saya definitely knew that the two of them had read the letter.But even so, he still gently and calmly let Roland and Chikahana come to the second warehouse.

Did he know in advance that there was something in the second warehouse that would prove his innocence?Or did he think it was absolutely impossible for him to plant something in the second warehouse?Or is there anything here that can get rid of Roland and Chikahana?
What exactly is it...

Roland frowned and thought hard.

He always felt as if he had forgotten some important detail.

At this moment, Roland and Chikahana walked to the second warehouse.
