Chapter 192 Parting ways

Ansardin's words were orders, and Viscount Telanca didn't dare to have any objections, so he nodded and agreed immediately.

After arranging this task, Ansadin did not leave immediately, but asked other questions: Is the acquisition of medicinal materials going well?

My lord, the herbal medicine shop in Kig Town is completely under your control. Once there are herbs that meet the standards, they will definitely be purchased as soon as possible. Tranka thought for a while and continued: Several members of the Pharmacist Association The elder highly praised the formula you left last time, and for this reason, he has increased a lot of income, which has been collected in exchange for funds.

Although he is a puppet, Tranka still has his own thinking ability. He is very good at flattering. He answered the question and praised Ansadin's potion making ability.

Although he has a high position and authority, Ansadin has not spent much time in the political arena after all. This kind of flattery really makes him very comfortable, but he is proud of it, but he said: The level of pharmacists in the Karen Kingdom is really not worth it. That being said, it's really disappointing.

Then he changed the subject, Has there been any missing persons in the village?

Tranka was a little stunned by this question, thinking that most of the missing persons are because you asked me to do it, what does that mean? But then he saw that Ansadin was very serious, thought for a while, and replied: As winter is approaching, only a few mercenary regiments have gone out in the village, and they may not have returned, but there is no other incident of disappearance.

Ansardin fell silent. He asked this naturally because he wanted to see if Magda had messed around here...

That proud old thing is powerful and has no scruples in doing things. If he kills here, he will be happy-because he can just use this to report to His Majesty Augustine and push all the blame on the other party.

But since Magda chose to hide, he has other ways to deal with it. After thinking about it for a while, he explained a few words to Tranka, jumped onto the back of the gargoyle from the window, and disappeared into the jungle in an instant.

Ansardin didn't immediately look for Magda's meaning, but came to an uninhabited manor outside Kig Town, and went directly to the catacomb behind the house...

The area of ​​the three-story underground tomb is much larger than the house outside, and the rows of wooden shelves are mostly filled with various medicines and materials. This is Ansadin's laboratory and it is also where he refines medicinal materials. , A base for making Necromancer Sculptures and handling affairs.

According to the original plan, Ansadin should stay in the Lars Mountains until mid-November before returning. His only purpose there was to find enough Frost Breath Grass to make more powerful puppets, but suddenly Turning back is naturally to deal with some troubles - but in Ansardin's eyes, Roddy, Rubens and even Duke of Angmar are not troublesome, what worries him is only Margot It’s just the two roles of Da and His Majesty Augustine...

Humanity? This humble race is not qualified to make him worry about anything. According to Ansardin's judgment, Magda's failure was due to being ambushed, and what he had to do now was to catch that guy named Rody as soon as possible, and then go to Hollier City to settle the case.

Ansardin was not interested in sharing the same hatred with Magda. He did this for himself: kill Rody before Magda regained his fighting power, and then wrote a letter to His Majesty Augustine to state the pros and cons, explaining the failure of the Blightcaller Let's talk about it, so that His Majesty will naturally think that he is powerful and the Blightcaller is a pile of waste.

If I procrastinate Magda for a while to recover her strength, this old thing will probably be grateful to me!

Self-interest at the expense of others? Ansardin is a politician, as long as he is self-interested in the end, he will not care whether he is harming people or not.

Stepping up to the desk,

Ansardin's elderberry wand lightly tapped in front of a tight metal cabinet. After the heavy cabinet door opened, it revealed the densely packed miniature puppet sculptures inside...

For the Necromancer of the puppet system, it is really not his turn to solve the scrap in several human territories.

Tsk tsk, using these to deal with humans is really grand enough.

*****

At the same moment, Rody and his party who left Elsa Village also walked to the edge of the Silent Whispering Forest. ,

Looking at Kieger Town, which is clearly visible dozens of miles away, Roddy chose to take Nata and Akasha to part ways with Buffon and Henry.

Rody arranged a lot of tasks for the two mercenaries in Kig Town, while he himself planned to go to Parling, meet up with Soderol and others, and plan to deal with Magda.

This kind of situation is a bit weird to say, just signed an employment contract, Roddy has so much trust in Henry and Buffon, no matter how you look at it, it seems that he is a bit too naive - after all, Buffon and Henry carry a whole A package of rare herbs, and a few bags of mellow fruit wine destined to be expensive, if the two of them have a disagreement, even if they sell it off, the money in exchange for this batch of goods is enough to pay for several years.

But Rody didn't seem to care at all, he just stopped the two mercenaries when the team was leaving, made a promise to them in a low voice, and then said loudly: I'll wait for your good news later.

After speaking, he took Nata and Akasha and walked in another direction.

The two mercenaries looked at his back in a daze. Buffon was an honest man. He packed his bags and walked towards Kig Town. Henry squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, but felt that he was becoming more and more unpredictable. ——

Buffon, what do you think of him?

Buffon put his head on Aldo, and replied with a dull expression: He sees farther than us.

I don't think so. He has strength and courage, but he seems to take everything for granted, Henry shook his head. Naturally, he didn't expect the stubborn Buffon to make any sense, and stretched out his hand He weighed the heavy package of herbs behind his back, his respectful and submissive attitude in front of Rody immediately changed, and he swaggered towards Kig Town, Forget it, he saved our lives anyway. Just do it properly, the rest... let's mind our own business.

Buffon nodded. After all, the task is a task, and Rody didn't ask them to work hard to death. It is the right way to go back to the town and have a good rest first. But he has a simple and honest heart, so he added at the end: Let's do it as soon as possible, I feel like he has other reasons for not going to Kieg Town.

The fat man raised his eyebrows. He felt it too vaguely, but he couldn't find a reason. After thinking about it for a long time, he decided not to think about it anymore. Being a mercenary is to earn money and live a day. Why do you think about it so much...

On the other side, Roddy, who was running in the opposite direction, looked really happy.

Nata was wearing the weird animal skin dress before, but in order to conceal her identity as a wood elf, Rody specially asked her to put on a hooded cloak of his own, and her delicate appearance was even covered by a black cloth. With a pair of eyes exposed, most people would never think of her identity as a wood elf when they saw it.

Rody and Akasha also put on cloaks to keep warm. Such a combination of two women and one man is really rare, but Rody didn't have any thoughts of sexy at all. He was thinking about many things at this time: How is the construction? How are Soderol et al. progressing? Did Wellington teach martial arts well? Will Magda retaliate in advance? How would that Ansadin react?

He felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he walked at a relatively fast speed, and only wanted to go back as soon as possible, so as to deal with the trouble Magda brought.

Behind him, Nata, who walked out of the forest for the first time... was in a delicate mood at this moment.

All the way to the present, Nata is actually thinking in her heart whether the result of this choice is correct... For a wood elf who has never seen the human world, leaving the forest is like a baby leaving the mother's arms. The apprehension and insecurity are of course unavoidable.

However, she would not reveal this emotion to anyone, and continued to move forward silently as before. Rody was busy thinking about his own affairs, so he didn't think about it either. He just walked forward on his own, and occasionally found a hillside to identify the scenery and direction, and then continued to move forward in silence.

Among the three, the only one in a good mood was Akasha. After experiencing what happened last night, her original psychological pressure almost completely disappeared, and she no longer showed trembling anxiety when she followed Rody, and even her pale face was a little more bloody.

Rubbing the warm ring on her finger, the corners of Akasha's mouth curled up slightly, her mood seemed very relaxed - for some reason, after wearing this ring, she could clearly feel that her body was getting better at an accelerated rate, even whipping The effect of the Punishment curse has weakened a lot... She didn't know whether it was because of the decay of the curse or some other reason. In short, everything was developing in a good direction, and that was enough.

When camping at night, although there were only three people in front of the bonfire, Akasha still felt that everything was so beautiful. Eating delicious barbecue and drinking fragrant wine, Akasha lamented for the first time that life would be so beautiful. Having such a pleasant moment...

She stared at the firelight, recalling the past miserable times in a trance, and drank the wine one after another. On the other hand, Nata said the first sentence of the day to Roddy: When will you start teaching me archery?

This was her sole purpose of following Rody out of the forest. Nata was pure-minded, so naturally she would not consider other things.

Rody had actually considered how to teach his mentor before, but after thinking about it, the way the other party taught him was very simple, that is, simply posting tasks-no matter how many times he died, he would be able to complete it. Yes, it is enough.

But this method is not suitable for Nata. After all, there was a slight mistake, and this talented wood elf could only end up in a smoldering death... So Rody thought for a long time, and could only start from the basics.

I will be able to go to Palling tomorrow. I thought I would teach you archery again, but since you asked now, I will chat with you a few words.

When the topic of archery field was involved, Rody immediately became a little more confident... This is the arrogance and confidence cultivated by standing at the top of the field for a long time. Rody has really worked hard in archery, and there is nothing Tricky ingredients.

After hearing this, Nata immediately put on a posture of listening carefully, obviously she really wanted to learn. Akasha on the side couldn't understand what they were talking about, and looked over curiously—of course, her gaze was mainly focused on Rody.

Let's start with the basics... Do you know your bow?

Nata was taken aback by Roddy's question. She reached for her short bow, nodded and said, I know it better than anyone else.

So you're sure it's in top condition?

confirm.

Okay, give it to me.

Nata obediently handed over the bow, Rody glanced at it, pulled it, then reached for her quiver, turned over the arrows inside, then shook his head, looked straight at Nata and said : It's still too far away.
