The headquarters of the national alchemist.


    In the place belonging to field marshal hogheim''s barracks, Rorschach and Rachel were temporarily put in the waiting room by soldiers on routine business... No one has come to find them since the morning, as if they had been forgotten!


    The dark waiting room is fairly clean. It''s just that no one sweeps some dust all year round, but it''s nothing for the two people who often perform official duties outside.


    At least it''s better than camping. It won''t be dangerous even at night!


    There is only moonlight in the dark


    Luo Xia is rarely locked in the same house with Rachel. Think about it carefully. Although the environment is uncomfortable, she is actually happy in her heart!


    And Rachel didn''t know why she had been sitting in the corner without talking. It was too dark to see her expression at the moment. Only a little outline could distinguish the figure.


    "Cough!"


    The atmosphere was a little awkward. Luo Xia thought about whether to find a topic to talk about.


    Although the two told the bog town what happened half true and half false according to the method mentioned by mentor kodall, it is not false. After all, they don''t know whether Okam is really dead. If he is dead, the process they said is true. No matter how they look for it, there is only this result.


    But the crime of dereliction of duty still exists, and now we have to wait for punishment!


    "I''m sorry to let you suffer with me. If only you had followed your mentor before." Luo Xia didn''t know what to say, so she had to find her own fault.


    "Do you think the tutor will agree? No one can expect such a thing. Don''t take it to heart, and I''m not the kind of big lady who can''t stand suffering." Rachel finally stood up and spoke in the dark.


    Oh~


    Rorschach didn''t know what to say for a moment.


    It seems that what I have appreciated and admired over the years is such a Rachel


    "Actually..."


    "Huh?"


    Half said, Luo Xia dared not say again.


    "What''s the matter?"


    "It''s all right!" he refused.


    I don''t know why Luo Xia always doesn''t dare to get too close to Rachel. Although she hopes to get close in her heart, she tells herself that she can''t get close every time she wants to get close!


    After all, Rachel is the young lady of the Christian family. Even if she has the title of mentor kodall''s disciple, she still seems too weak in front of the real big family. It should be the young masters of the same noble who can deserve Rachel. As long as they can look at each other.


    "Is it really all right?"


    Rachel came forward, but the other party stepped back


    "It''s all right. Tut ~ I don''t know how long it will take for them to verify. They can''t keep us locked up like this all the time."


    "It doesn''t matter!"


    "Huh?"


    The voice was very small, but Luoxia heard it and looked at the place with human shadow in the dark.


    It''s too dark to see Rachel''s face now.


    Just when the other party is talking about the current situation, don''t worry!


    Just go to a place where you can sit down and close your eyes... In fact, sometimes you can hear more clearly what you care about, but... Don''t want to, or don''t dare... Listen.


    Just then, the sound of a team coming could be heard in the distance.


    "Someone is coming, Rorschach."


    They stood up and looked at the past. In the distance of the waiting room, they could see the torch coming in the dark.


    "You''ve finally come. What we know has been made clear. Can we gradually master kodall!" the people who came were a team of alchemists in the imperial capital, who didn''t know each other on both sides.


    Luo Xia and ruiqi''er, who have not appeared in the imperial capital for many years, may still be famous in Lewis City, but they have no appeal in the imperial capital, the National Center.


    The person opposite ignored Luo Xia''s words, but looked at Rachel next to him


    "You are Rachel Christian."


    "It''s me."


    "Then come with us." the leader outside said expressionless.


    "What do you mean?!"


    "Are you going to see mentor kodall or marshal hogheim?" Rachel asked curiously.


    It seems that the other party doesn''t know why as long as he goes out by himself.


    "Come out as soon as you''re asked. Why... You should be glad you have a good family, otherwise you don''t know where you are now!" said the alchemist outside.


    what!


    Even if the other party didn''t say anything, it''s not hard for Rorschach and Rachel to hear the meaning.


    Rachel should have been called away by the Christian family, so why don''t you let people go?


    "What do you mean by keeping us? We are just routine reporting. Although Okam''s death is our dereliction of duty, it should not be detained according to national law. I want to see marshal hogheim!"


    "What are you yelling about at night? If the Marquis Christian hadn''t spent so much time asking us to bring you out, we wouldn''t bother to care about you. Come out!"


    "I won''t go unless you ask mentor kodall or marshal hogheim to come." Rachel didn''t go at all.


    "Can''t you pin it out?"


    "Don''t come out."


    People outside don''t seem to have much patience.


    After all, although the Marquis has a high status, he is under the marshal. Even the great nobles don''t want to tell him what to do.


    "OK, then you can only keep locked in."


    He was about to leave but was stopped by Luo Xia.


    "Wait..." he turned to look at Rachel.


    "Rachel, please leave first. Only when you go out can you inform the tutors. Maybe there''s something wrong. Even if I''m imprisoned, I won''t die. But as long as you go out, we can have a chance to plead with the marshal. If it''s bad, we can ask Master Sean for clarification, so you must go out."


    Luo Xia said firmly.


    "But you!"


    "It doesn''t matter to me. You are a member of the Christian family. You can walk around the capital better than me. It''s the best choice for you to go out."


    Regardless of the current situation, ruiqi''er felt that what the other party said was reasonable. Only when she went out first and asked her mentor, they could have a chance to save Luo Xia.


    "Well, you wait for me here... I will come back."


    "Well, I''ll wait for you“


    ……………………


    The next morning Sean and Ayla got up a little late.


    Kesselk''s palace maid didn''t come to call herself until near noon. She probably knew that she drank too much at yesterday''s dinner. Anyway, she couldn''t eat anything in the morning. A little salty meat porridge hasn''t tasted much yet.


    After dinner, they were called by the bodyguard from the palace. It was said that emperor Williams had something to say.


    Ayla felt that the slate should be settled, so she asked Sean to follow him into the palace


    After all, the purpose of the two people this time is to come for it, and Sean felt even more terrible about the so-called "truth" after listening to Ayla''s story last night. Even on different time lines, he also wanted to know about these unknown ancient gods. He believed that with his two powers, he would not be directly killed by the other party.


    When they came to the hall, many ministers had gathered here, and the three elements stood on both sides waiting.


    "Your Majesty," Ayala saluted respectfully.


    "Dear Ms. Halifa, don''t be so polite. I let you come this time because the great alchemist wants to say something to you."


    I looked at Meredith, the omniscient next to me


    "Ms. Khalifa, I went back to look for the old stone slabs you told me yesterday and have found them."


    "That''s great." Ayla was a little excited.


    "But..." as soon as the conversation changed, Sean began to be vigilant.


    "Yes, I did, but I hope the lady can help us. I''m afraid you''ve heard the news that Princess Leticia is seriously ill. We want to help us treat the princess with the help of the lady."
