Demon Lord

However, the idea is always good, but it is difficult to implement it. m It is definitely more difficult to build trust between different races. Even if Rody saved the entire Elsa village twice, he will not be sure that Brody or Nata can trust him 100%.

Don't rush everything... Rody raised his head and saw Nata standing quietly by the side, so he understood what she was waiting for.

You're waiting for me to tell you the solution to these problems in the village, aren't you?

He sat down on the wooden chair beside him very familiarly, and asked aloud.

Nata nodded silently, there was a scabbed scar on her delicate doll-like face, which made her look even more stern.

Rody thought about it, but asked a question that surprised her: Do you know the occupations of those enemies today?

Nata shook her head, apparently she didn't have the concept of occupation in her mind at all. The Wood Elf village was basically in the primitive stage of bartering. They didn't even have money, and they might not be able to eat enough. Who would have thought of occupation? ?

They are mercenaries, professional soldiers who take money to do things. Rody pointed to himself, and continued: Brudy said that human beings are greedy, and I admit that there is nothing wrong. Because as long as there are enough benefits, human beings can Do anything...including me.

He then pointed to the outside of the tree hole, So this is the solution—to put it bluntly, humans can solve the hunger crisis facing Elsa Village.

After hearing these words, Nata's eyes widened immediately, her face full of disbelief. If she hadn't known that Rody had saved Elsa Village twice before, her first reaction might be to beat him out of the tree hole

Rody ignored her drastic change of expression and continued: During today's battle, why didn't the mercenaries go on a killing spree? Because a living elf is worth more than a dead one. In other words - human beings can do anything for profit. And that... also includes helping the Wood Elves.

Nata didn't speak, but she obviously had a look of disbelief.

Rody was not surprised by this, he just spread his palms, shrugged and said: You can choose not to believe it, but this is indeed the only way now.

Only humans can help you. It's not a lie. Humans can help you resist all dangers, and you don't have to worry about going hungry anymore. But the choice is yours, not mine.

After saying this, Rody closed his mouth, quietly waiting for the other party to respond.

These words are all true, but Roddy believes that the more truthful the more effective.

Having been tortured by Nata many times, he knows the mentor in front of him very well: she is really not interested in thinking about the world, let alone understand the intricate web of interests. Her way of thinking about problems is simple: just look at the results.

The process doesn't matter, as long as the result satisfies her, that's enough... This is the only summary Rody made to Nata when he was exhausted from the task.

So as long as Rody puts the expectation of good results here, Nata will not consider the feasibility at all, but only the price to pay.

What does the village need from you?

Sure enough, Nata's only answer was this.

Roddy thought for a while and replied, Money.

Nata frowned and shook her head directly - We have no money.

Excess prey, wine, and herbs are all money. Rody didn't explain to her the concepts of tax sharing, win-win, cooperating and jointly expanding interests, because he knew that Nata simply listened to don't know. So he said succinctly and directly: In other words, if the village gives me some resources, I can help you humans. It's like you placed Akasha and I told you these words, it's an equal transaction.

Nata narrowed her eyes slightly, and suddenly asked, Why are you telling me this? I can't help you.

This girl is not stupid at all, it seems that she was just too lazy to think about it before. Luo Di secretly sighed in his heart, but pointed to Akasha: You took care of her according to the agreement, and I will tell you the solution according to the agreement. It's a 'fair deal,'

Such an answer obviously surprised Nata, but she quickly accepted it. She seemed to want to say something, but she swallowed the words when she reached her mouth. She just stared at the short bow she hung on the wall with a complicated expression.

Roddy knew that she was also struggling with whether she should believe in herself. Yu Jian got up to say goodbye, left the tree hole directly, and left these questions to this simple-minded apprentice-the seed has been planted, let's see how it takes root and sprout.

Darkness enveloped the village, and when I looked up, the towering trees blocked the moonlight, and the firefly lights for lighting flickered as if they were breathing.

The leaves are rustling, and the footsteps and shouts of a team setting off to the ruins of Wagra can be vaguely heard. Roddy took a deep breath and walked on the road in the forest. The breeze carried a chill, making him more tired after the battle. Not far away, Hugo came over with a message from Brody, to the effect that he asked Rody to rest in the warmest tree hole in the village. He waved his hand, declined the other party's kindness with a smile, and then found his luggage, Set up a tent in the corner of the village, and then fell asleep unsuspectingly.

This night is destined to be long - Rody left the difficulty of entanglements and choices to the wood elves, but he was already relaxed.

Brody looked at Nata in front of him, feeling suspicious about Rody's plan she just said in his mind. He stretched out his hand to touch the gradually recovering wound on his body, but after thinking for a while, he flipped through it under the light of fireflies. He found out the letter that Hugo had handed to him before, and whispered the words and sentences composed of high elves:

The last inheritor was born in blood...the cursed person, walking alone in the dark.

The inheritor...the cursed person...

Elonian year 6B, the twenty-second day of October.

The convoy of Bishop Rubens has arrived at the Green City in the middle of the Karen Kingdom according to the scheduled journey.

Although the weather is slightly cool, it is not as cold as in the northwestern part of the kingdom. Although snowflakes have already fallen in some places in the Northland, Green City is still sunny at this time, and it even makes people feel a little warm in the afternoon.

In the prosperous city, vendors were hawking their goods, and a convoy with the Rosate Cross logo parked in front of the monastery in the city. Judging from its huge size, it was obvious that the city spared no effort in supporting the sect.

Rubens' team received a warm welcome and accepted the luncheon invitation from the lord, Earl Langdon. Unexpectedly, the Bishop did not attend the banquet alone, but took Sally with him— ——His behavior is no different from his affirmation and support to Sally, so whether it is the abbey bishop or the Earl, they all have an extra high regard for Sally, and they also value Sally very much in their conversations.

Sally's communication skills are already very strong, and her natural political sense and brains allow her to deal with these old guys with ease. After some conversations, she is naturally happy and happy. After the banquet, Sally also got Ruben for this. His admiration and praise.

Naturally, they didn't know that the reason why Sally was so working hard was entirely because of the letter Rody gave her before leaving—in the letter, Rody roughly pointed out some factions inside the Rose Cross. , So Sally will naturally use this list to help Rubens win over power. Sally knows who is worth shooting along the way, and who is against Rubens.

Recalling Rubens' increasingly satisfied expression, Sally knew how much Rody had put in for her. Although there is not even a word of concern for her on this piece of paper, not even a signature or a greeting, but every time I take it out, there will be a touch of sweetness in my heart.

After the luncheon, the monastery arranged for the clergy to go to the slums to distribute relief food. Originally, Sally didn't have to go to such an event, but she still came to the south of the city with the team, and personally distributed bread to the beggars.

This is not for show. When she was in Houlier City, she would also help those poor people every year when winter came. It's just that before the bread was distributed today, the street suddenly became extremely noisy. Sally looked up, and found that many onlookers gathered on the originally wide street. The crowd seemed to be surrounded by something, and there were many cheers...

What happened over there?

Sally asked the temple guard on the side. The latter tugged at the shield in his hand, and was also curious. He ran over to inquire and reported back: It seems that a mercenary group hunted a monster in the forest. I heard it is A very powerful 'Babylonian python, many adventurers have died under its mouth.

May those who died rest in peace.

Sally made the sign of the cross, prayed lightly, and then smiled, Then this mercenary group has wiped out harm for the people. They should be very powerful, right?

Just as I was talking, the noise from the crowd in the distance suddenly became louder. It turned out that the mercenaries were carrying the corpse of the giant snake in a carriage and swaggered through the city. A lot of people were scared away behind him, and even more curious children cried and were picked up by the pale mother, and then ran away far away.

Sally gave out the last piece of bread, and walked over to look curiously. The giant snake was more than 20 meters long, and its head was only more than one meter wide.

But Sally didn't feel much, just shook her head, turned and returned.

After the food was distributed, the temple guards prepared to escort her back to the monastery as planned, but because the crowd blocked the street, Sally was not in the mood to sit in the carriage and wait, so she simply got down and walked casually on the street. She looked at the giant snake that was gradually disappearing from sight, and remembered the experience of herself and Rody facing the Scorpion King in the Forest of Whispering Whispers, but she was in a daze for a while...

What is that guy doing now?

With her fingers unconsciously, she took out the voodoo dice and rubbed them. Sally was in a daze when she heard a slightly immature voice from her side—

Sister, what are you holding in your hand?

Sally turned her head and found a little girl standing in front of her.
