Chapter 153 Layout and Crisis (Part 1)

After sitting at the desk like this for a few minutes, the butler John respectfully called Rody to the luncheon. This kind of thing is a great honor for ordinary people, but Roddy was worried about the future of the kingdom. And in a bad mood, he followed John to the restaurant without a smile at all. Anyone could see the worry on his brows. Still so depressed? Isn't the battle over?

At this time, no one would know what Rody was worried about. When he walked into the restaurant along the ornately decorated corridor, what he felt head-on was the warm atmosphere unique to peacetime... Although there have been bloody and violent incidents recently. , But when everything calms down, no one will regard such an incident as a catastrophe, they will only think that it is small wind and small waves.

Rubens who greeted himself, Angmar who stroked his beard and smiled, two knights in military uniform with vigilant eyes, Sally in a dress and dress—even Soderol, Ruger and Carter who were sitting with them, They didn't realize what kind of storm this country was going to face... because everything was beyond their imagination.

call…

Rody breathed a sigh of relief, but he also understood that all his plans could not be accomplished overnight, so when he adjusted his state, he finally showed a polite smile, sat down after saluting safely, and participated in the luncheon with the most calm attitude among.

After a few days, the atmosphere of the luncheon was quite different from last time. The main reason is that Rubens' attitude towards Rody is no longer indifferent or disdainful -- Roddy also admires this guy. The bishop who can afford to let go, although the old man's attitude has lost the reservedness of the past, he has no intention of flattering or flattering, but treats Rody as a friend worthy of recognition.

Right now, this meal is also a farewell meal. If there is no accident, Rubens will lead the team back to the Holy Temple tomorrow, and this also means that Sally will also follow the bishop to leave this place. city, and will not return until two years later.

Under such a premise, no one at the wine table mentioned what happened yesterday. They all drank and ate in a friendly manner, and said something to make Miss Sally pay attention to her body or take care of herself. At first, the daughter of the duke was still smiling. She replied, but when her father, Angmar, told her, Sally shed tears after all—after all, her father’s health had just recovered for so many years, and she was about to leave her hometown, and the reluctance in her heart was still hard to hide.

If conditions permit, write to here.

Luo Di couldn't say anything else. Remembering that he had to call home every two days when he was in college, he couldn't help feeling that communication was inconvenient in this era.

In addition to these, after a solid meal, Angmar directly led a group of people to the rear school grounds of the Duke's Mansion, directly let the scouts line up, and under the witness of Rubens, gave a brief but solemn teaching Ordering Ceremony—although there were no other bystanders, all the scouts...even Roddy understood that to be witnessed by a Rosate Cross bishop, this kind of glory is not as good as those who can't read big characters. More civilians will come here.

The long sword tapped Sodlore's shoulder, and the Duke of Angmar conferred the title of Baron on the descendant of the down-and-out nobleman, and at the same time solemnly conferred a piece of territory belonging to the Lucifron family to Sodlore . In addition, more than 40 additional servants were dispatched, as well as armaments enough to arm 50 people, 5,000 finely minted silver coins, some food supplies, etc. Needless to say, this was all because of the For the preferential treatment in Rody's face, Rody also lamented in his heart that the old duke's way of dealing with people is indeed brilliant.

The scouts of Nolan Village canceled their original duties,

It was directly merged into Baron Soderol's territory sequence and became the first batch of troops-as for whether Soderol would give them knights or take them with him and continue to be a guard, this is his own business.

After such a ceremony, Suo Deluoer had a brief chat with Rody. His attitude could not be called very happy or excited. Obviously, he was still a little worried about Rody's eschewing the title. After talking to him a few words, the newly promoted baron raised his eyebrows, and immediately called Ruger and others to find Wellington.

Sally returned to the room under the escort of Titus. When the people were almost gone, the lively atmosphere at the dinner table before was much deserted among Rody, Rubens and Angmar. The two always kept smiling. The old man's face darkened slightly, obviously he had something to say.

The study speaks.

Angmar directly led Roddy and Rubens into the study, which also meant that Roddy had finally been approved by the Duke—but at this time he wasn't very excited, because after all the servants left, He directly saw the two pieces of parchment handed to him by the bishop.

What was found on the undead assassin was a secret letter.

Rubens sat on the armchair beside him, sighed while talking with a dignified expression, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen a little, The temple guards cooperated with the city defense army, and they couldn't even catch up with that guy's shadow. I don’t know what that guy’s name is, but it’s really…”

It was frustrating to feel helpless when encountering such a powerful enemy, but Rody didn't say much, just nodded, silently looking at the deciphered content of the secret letter on the parchment.

By the way, he left some things behind, and I think you should need them.

Angmar next to him reached out and moved a box, and opened it with a click. Rody, who was deciphering the parchment, looked up and saw a short bow, a ring and a wristband inside. Said, it must have been left behind by [Blightcaller] Magda - if it had been in the past, Rody would have rushed to check the attributes of these equipment at the first time, but at this time he was frowning because of the contents of the secret letter He frowned, glanced at these powerful equipment, and then continued to read the letter calmly.

The Duke of Angmar slightly raised his eyebrows, feeling inexplicably... Roddy seemed to have become more restrained and calm.

Rubens frowned beside him and said nothing. To be honest, he was worried about encountering such a level of undead. Others saw that he had won, but the undead platooned such a powerful assassin to assassinate the great lord. It was difficult to figure out the meaning behind this. Reporting the news back to the Temple may cause quite a stir.

And when his eyes turned to Rody in front of him, that worry turned into a little appreciation... He himself is very happy to make friends with people with ability, strength and brains, but Roddy just tactfully refused to join at the dinner table. Naturally, Rubens felt a little regretful about the invitation of the sect.

The three of them were silent with each other's thoughts, and Roddy never spoke. The short bow exuding faint blue was lying quietly in the box. After two or three minutes passed like this, Roddy opened his mouth and broke it. This stagnation——

Generally understand some information... Generally speaking, the city of Houllier is safe.

He didn't raise his eyes, and he lowered his head when he spoke. His voice was calm, but he also showed a little tiredness. Maybe it was because of the previous injury, or... the psychological pressure that others couldn't understand.

He won't come back?

This was a concern of Rubens. He specially left two priests and two teams of temple guards to assist the Duke's defense work. Although he knew that it would be useless if that kind of enemy came to him again, this was an attitude after all.

I can't even assassinate when I come back. The ranger has his arm disabled, so he is basically a waste. Now he can't do anything.

Luo Di shook his head, but immediately shook the parchment in his hand, But it doesn't mean that he won't come back... The recovery ability of the undead is very slow. If he uses normal methods, his ten-year rest is easy. , but if a pharmacist or something comes to help...

Pharmacist? Could it be possible to repair limbs?

Both Angmar and Rubens found it unbelievable. After all, creatures like undead are unreasonable. It sounds weird to have a new arm attached to it.

If it's a high-level pharmacist, I'm afraid it's not difficult. Maybe it will take three to half a year to recover—and now the bad news is that he is likely to get such a pharmacist in the territory of Efta. with the help of a pharmacist.

Then he briefly introduced the identities of Derby, Magda, and Ansardin. As he said, a bold plan gradually emerged in his heart...

That is to say, the focus of the search should now be on Kieg Town? No...

Angmar narrowed his eyes and fell silent after speaking halfway through.

Rubens next to him also had an ugly face. To ordinary people, it seemed that as long as the Duke sent people to search, there would be nowhere for any undead to hide—but the two old people could understand the actual situation... Even if Magda and The man named Ansadin was moving under their noses, and I'm afraid they couldn't detect anything even though they tried their best!

The town of Kig belongs to the Viscount Telanca, and the Duke has no right to directly send troops to search it. If he forces his way in and strengthens the surveillance, let alone how the Viscount negotiated with him, Magda can escape without losing half of his body. How could the powerful undead who went to the city be so stupid as to be exposed and discovered?

Ordered Viscount Telanka to monitor? Even less reliable.

In this era, the great lord only had the right to tax and right to conscription to his subordinate nobles. It was better to expect Magda to hit Ansadin to death if he expected these nobles to do things for him!

Thinking of this, even the powerful Angmar couldn't help sighing... He was completely passive, seemingly out of danger, but with such a threat, who could sleep peacefully?
