"Do as the letter says?" Rorschach stared at the letter and fell into deep thought along with Rachel beside him...
It’s actually not difficult to understand.
Sean didn't know much about the composition of the country of Kserk, but Occam had said at the time that there were more than one legion that wanted the secrets in his hands. It would be better to just say that he was dead, so that everyone wouldn't have to argue anymore. As for whether he was really dead or not, if someone caught him later, couldn't it be resolved privately?
Because Ockham is dead!
Luo Xia and Ruiqier thought about it for a while and felt that this was a good thing. At least they would not receive too much punishment for this. It would just be a reprimand for poor supervision and that would be fine.
"Then we should get the team ready. We'll leave for the Imperial Capital tomorrow."
"Um."
After relieving their biggest worries, Rorschach and Rachel felt a little relieved. They were now preparing to quickly head to the Imperial Capital to report the matter to the National Alchemist's headquarters.
"Master Sean, please come with us. Didn't you say that we wanted to display the statues of the sages? There are many famous wizards living in the imperial capital." Deep down, the two of them still hoped that Sean could go with them, preferably to the alchemist's headquarters, so that after seeing his strength, those senior generals would not sneer at their dereliction of duty.
"I am indeed going, but this time I will go with Ms. Ayla."
"That witch lady?"
After spending so many days in Kimo River Town, I'm sure everyone knows the witch. She seems to have a noble aura that attracts attention wherever she goes. In the team... especially among the team members who often go to the mayor's house, news about the witch is occasionally heard.
"Did Master Sean know Ms. Ayla before?"
"I guess so. After all, the Sun Crown is very famous in Adak, and her leader is of course well-known." Sean said with a smile.
"I see. Then... you are going to the imperial capital together, right?"
Sean saw the two people's worries. In fact, anyone in any system would have such worries. He remembered that when he was in Oro City, Ascalante blamed himself and worried for a long time because he let those prisoners of the revolutionary army escape. Now he also needed two national alchemists to help him get to the Great Library. With their identities, he would take fewer detours.
"Don't worry, I'll be there too. I promised Mr. Ke Daoer that I would help you escort the fugitives to the imperial capital. I didn't expect something like this to happen. I will help you with this little favor."
"Thank you very much, Master Sean."
After getting Sean's affirmative answer, the two of them were obviously relieved.
"Then let's get ready and set off tomorrow morning!!"
……………………
For seven consecutive days, the entire Kimo River Town was in trouble. Almost all the houses in the south were burned down, leaving only ruins.
Originally, there were still some people who would go there every day to look for anything left over from the burning that could be used, but after a day or two, no one dared to go there anymore... It is said that after going there, you would often hear a howling sound in your ears when you sleep at night, which is very strange and terrifying.
One person tells ten people, ten people tell a hundred people.
No one dared to go there, and they had to wait for the imperial capital to send rescuers before going to take a look...
The mayor of Kimo River Town has already asked for help from the imperial capital, and they should send a team of troops to support us. We have to thank the good geographical location of this town. It is close to the imperial capital of Kselke and the seaport, and it is also a production area for swamp materials. Otherwise, who knows if anyone would come. Compared with the Telemian town back then, this place is much better!
Sean, who had just come out of the mayor's house, was also preparing things for tomorrow's departure. At this time, Lucille ran over from somewhere and seemed to be holding something in her hand.
“Teacher…Teacher…”
Sean looked at the little girl's expression as she hurried over, her chubby little face flushed and trembling all the time.
"Where did you run off to?"
Reach out and hand over something.
"What."
"For the teacher." The little hands couldn't hold anything at all, most of them were exposed, and one hand held a piece of food that looked like a piece of bread.
Sean has been eating this thing frequently in the past few days. It is actually just steamed bread, and some local spices are put on it. The whole taste is sour and spicy, and it is especially spicy. This is probably one of the most unique breads Sean has eaten in all the time he has been in this world.
"You just ran out to get food?"
"Ah, no way. There's almost no food in the town these days. Today I saw a lot of people sailing into the swamp. They said they were going to find food, otherwise they couldn't afford to support those alchemists... and they were especially mean to me." Lucille was quite angry when she said this.
Kimohe Town was unlikely to support Rorschach's team, and the south had become what it was now.
Unable to find the fugitive, some people took their anger out on the alchemists, believing that it was they who brought Occam here and caused the subsequent events. This is also the reason why Rorschach and Rachel, although they are state alchemists, cannot stay to help.
They didn't bring any supplies to begin with, and now they had to suck the life out of the people in the town, so of course they complained.
"Don't pay attention to them, we'll leave tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Lucille asked Sean.
"Well, don't you want to leave?"
"Of course I do." The little girl had wanted to leave a long time ago.
The town was too small for her and she might get bored of it after just a few days. She had been clamoring to leave before, but now she seemed reluctant.
"But...Teacher, why should we be with that group of people? I don't like them." The people Lucille was talking about were probably Mierke and the others. They had been in a bad mood almost since the first day they met.
According to Sean, this situation will remain the same even twenty years later!
Seeing the little girl pouting her lips deliberately when she was angry, Sean couldn't help but squat down and pinch her face in annoyance.
White hair, like...
I don’t know where he went, there were still a lot of spider webs and dust in his hair.
“Hmm…”
"Remember this, little girl. Never take the initiative to stand on the opposing side... No matter who it is, they can be your friend or your enemy. Always be the smartest person in the room. Even if you hate the other person, it doesn't mean you can't cooperate." Sean said.
I didn't want them to know about my relationship with Ayla. Twenty years later, Lucille wouldn't know much about the Ancient Gods, so it was best not to mention it now...
Looking at the little girl, she nodded as if she understood.
"Don't just stand there. Finish your meal and pack up. We'll be on the road tomorrow!"
"Um……"
