Chapter 148: Everything is for the benefit
Judging from Kid's suddenly tense body, the assassin was like a sharp dagger that was ready to go out of the sheath at any time.
As long as Roxha’s answer is a little wrong, he is likely to show the sword inside his cuff and stab at Roxha!
Of course, this is not the result that Rorschach wants to see.
Therefore, he just raised his hands, put on a peaceful posture, and said in a faint voice:
"Listen, Kidd, I have no malice. I just want to meet Ah Ta. I have a very important news to tell him!"
However, Kidd didn't appreciate it, but just slowly spread his arms, as if he was ready to fight at any time, "Hmph, do you think I would believe the words of a Templar?!"
At this time, Edward on the side finally couldn't help but interrupt, "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
"Edward, our little Master Kidd is actually an assassin."
When Edward was stunned when he heard Rorschach's explanation, he looked at Rorschach, then turned his head to look at Kidd with a serious expression, and then he realized:
"Oh, so that's it...that is, you are mortal enemies?"
Shrugging, Rorschach explained casually:
"It can be said that. But, like you, I joined the Templars just for money. I can't get along with those guys who think about controlling the world all day long..."
These words were both for Edward and for Kidd.
However, judging from his still frowning brows and his body posture that was not relaxed at all, Kidd did not believe him at all.
Even if you tell the truth.
Rorschach knew that he had to come up with something practical to dispel Kidd's concerns.
So, he pursed his lips and said something amazing:
"Okay...your base camp is in Tulum, right?"
The next second, Kidd's pupils suddenly widened, and a look of surprise flashed across his face. He stepped back without hesitation and gently shook his right wrist.
With a "click" sound, a sword blade with a cold light popped out of Kid's right cuff!
In a fighting pose, Kidd stared at Rorschach with his eyes in a deep voice:
"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation..."
Faced with Kidd's threat, Rorschach didn't care at all, just raised his lips:
"You must be wondering why I know the basis for the assassin? It's very simple. Do you remember what I just said? That assassin traitor did a stupid thing that you don't know."
“What is it?”
"He betrayed you. And he also leaked your news to the Templars!"
Hearing this, Kidd frowned a little deeper, "But, Kenway didn't say that Walpole had been killed by him..."
Halfway through the words, it ended abruptly.
Kidd seemed to have thought of something, finally reacted and looked at Edward on the side.
At this moment, Rorschach's voice rang:
"Yes, the person who gave the map that marked the location of the Assassin's stronghold to the Knights Templar is our common friend, Edward Kenway!"
Kidd's eyes were a little furrowed, Edward glanced at Kidd's sneaker and couldn't help but raise his hands, "Uh, why are you pulling it on me again?"
"Kenwei, did you sell the map of the Assassin's stronghold to the Templar?"
Meeting Kidd's eyes, Edward had to take a little back and spread his hands, "That's...that's the case."
"Why are you just saying it now?!"
"Then I didn't know you were an assassin before, what would I say?"
Hearing this defense, Kidd couldn't help but curse:
"Damn it!"
"Kenwei, do you know you did something very stupid?!"
"Did you have no conscience? Have you ever thought about reminding them?"
Before Edward responded, Rorschach raised his eyebrows and spoke first to defend Edward:
"I think Edward must have thought about it. But he just couldn't find a suitable opportunity. What's more, he didn't know other assassins at all, right?"
Upon hearing this, Edward and Rorschach's eyes briefly met in the air and immediately understood.
Rorschach is helping him find a reason!
While being grateful, Edward immediately climbed up the pole, nodded and echoed:
"Yes, of course I thought about reminding the assassin, but I don't know a single assassin..."
Of course, the eye contact between the two did not escape Kidd's eyes.
He looked at Edward, then looked at Roxar again, and suddenly his right hand shrank and suddenly put away his sword.
"The reason is bad, but it's better."
Turning his head to look at Rorschach, Kidd looked like a torch, as if he wanted to see clearly what the man was thinking:
"As for you, Rorschach...as a member of the Knights Templar, why do you remind us?"
He raised his left hand and stroked the silver ring on his ring finger. Rorschach smiled slightly, "I said just now that I joined the Templars just for the sake of benefit. I remind you that it is also for the sake of benefit."
"About? What do you want from our assassins?"
"You will know when I see A Tabai..."
This answer obviously cannot satisfy Kid.
"How did I know you did not do this to destroy us?"
"If I want to lead a large number of Templars and warships to directly attack Tulum, why bother talking so much nonsense with you?"
Upon hearing this, Kid lowered his head and thought for a while before looking up and replied, "I can't promise you, I need to ask for instructions on the tutor..."
"Of course. You just need to tell your mentor that this matter is related to the life and death of the Assassin organization. I think he will definitely make the right choice..."
After taking Rorschach deeply, Kidd turned around and left.
Just as he walked out, his somewhat neutral voice suddenly rang:
"Kenwei! Do you want to steal that farm?!"
Upon hearing this, Edward was a little stunned and immediately replied loudly: "Of course!"
Before stepping to chase Kidd, Edward did not forget Rorschach's help just now, came to Rorschach, and reached out to pat his shoulder:
"Thank you, man."
Watching Edward leave, Rorsch suddenly showed a mysterious smile:
"No need to thank me, there are still many things you have to thank me in the future..."
...
After the showdown with Kidd, Kidd seemed to disappear for the next few days.
Even the Captains of the Pirates League did not attend.
Rorschach didn't care, but just handled the fortress step by step, and bought people's hearts, and expanded his influence in the Pirate Republic as much as possible.
Until four days later, Kidd suddenly appeared in the tavern, found Rorschach and Edward who were drinking, and conveyed a message:
"A week later, you come to Tulum outside Yucaton Bay, and A Tabai wants to see you."
"Remember, don't bring your crew!"
