"Isn't that what I think? Hey, I know you won't feel comfortable saying that directly, but it's enough to bear with it—a woman..."
Hook curled his lips, pointed to the rum in Roddy's hand, and made a "you understand" expression, "I'll treat you to this glass, and you'll forget everything when you wake up."
Rody gradually recovered from the state of being choked to death. Seeing that Hook had confirmed certain things, he felt helpless—but after such a toss, his originally depressed mood improved a little. At least he could feel that his attention had stopped. Being spread out, the chest does not feel so stuffy.
"After living for so many years, I have encountered a lot of bad luck, and there is nothing I can't get over."
Low emotional intelligence is also good, but it is difficult to really be affected by negative emotions for too long. In addition, he really didn't become like this because of any "emotional injury".
Besides, this day is not without good things, Rody took a sip of rum, and after the hot liquid flowed down his throat, the scene in front of him seemed to become a little blurred, and he called out "Reputation column" in a low voice. ", the word "respect" on the column of "Rose Cross" stands out...
With such a prestige, according to the level of the original players, Rody is also ahead of the curve—and this afternoon, he picked out all the items he might use next in the arsenal in the city.
There are two biggest gains, one is the "excellent composite short bow".
Although the bow used to calibrate level 10 is only "excellent" in green, its damage is twice as high as that of the super short bow I made, and the arrow speed is amazingly fast. With this bow, it is enough threat to some low-level advanced occupations, and even under certain conditions, it can instantly kill advanced occupations below level 6
Except for this bow, Rody was also pleasantly surprised to find that the armory had opened up a "rare item" with a refresh time limit for him... In the past, in the game, such items were only available when you first purchased them. It may only appear again every few months or even half a year, and as the only "player" in this world, it is reasonable for Rody to buy "rare items" in the six years at this time.
What excited Roddy was that he bought four dozen "calibrated arrows" and one "explosive arrow"
People who don't know about archery don't know the importance of arrows. Most of them just think that a good bow is enough—but "experts" like Nata who rely on bows and arrows for a living will only see Roddy's two arrows. After that, the emotion of looking up to the mountains came.
Excellent arrows are not only stable in performance, but also much stronger in speed and power than ordinary arrows, and even have the effect of "breaking armor" or even "breaking demons". The shoddy things made by the workshop, before each use, I have to do secondary processing and calibration to barely maintain the accuracy. As for the power... If I am not good at archery, such arrows are actually quite limited in lethality.
Although the price of the new arrows replaced today is frighteningly expensive, if compared with the arrows that Rody originally used, they are definitely worth the money, and the one that is worth four dozen "calibrated arrows" The rare "blue" prefix "burst arrow" can even pose a threat to high-level advanced occupations in one blow
If the average damage of the previous arrows was around 8, then after changing this set of bows and arrows, Roddy's average damage can increase to over 20. Damage can exceed 400
This is definitely a "shotgun for a cannon".
Not only is the equipment updated, but after handing in the "Nilda Priest's Fall" quest, my experience value can already be about 60 points after being promoted to level 10, which is about 2% away from level 1-for the current shoulder For Rody, who was injured and found it difficult to open his bow, at this time, directly upgrading and recovering blood can not only change his outfit but also restore his combat effectiveness, it can be considered completely.
Thinking of this, Roddy's mood improved a lot. He quickly cleared his mind, thinking about the only thing to do next: get rid of Francis.
After killing him, he and the scouts in Nolan Village will no longer be threatened. When the time comes, he will go away and fly away, and he will no longer be threatened by that Bishop Lao Shizi, and he will never have to see the face of the Duke's daughter again.
He has no interest at all. The Duke of Angmar has awakened. How the old man handles his son is his own business. No one can stop him from killing Francis. At this time, the idea of karma came to the fore...
Just as he was thinking, Hook in front of him stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and asked, "What are you thinking about? Your drinking capacity is too bad, so you're confused?"
"Oh, thinking about something."
"Whatever you think about, women are everywhere, and you can find another one at any time. Look, I think the daughter of the Hansen family across the door is pretty good—"
Luo Di rubbed the center of his brows. He really didn't expect that Hu Ke with a big beard still had the old thoughts of the month. Yu coughed twice, and wanted to evade it, but as if he remembered something, he changed his tone and whispered: "Actually... i have a girlfriend
When he said this, he could feel his face was flustered with embarrassment, but in order not to let Hook gossip like this, Rody bit the bullet and continued: "But...she is not in the territory of Efta."
"The bards are very romantic, who knows which one you are talking about?" Hook curled his lips, raised his glass and asked while drinking: "Oh—does she live far away?"
"Go southeast from here for about... more than a thousand kilometers."
"puff-"
Hook took a sip of the wine and choked it up his nose, and then almost spit out all the ale he just drank
In the eyes of modern people, such a distance is not far away, and it only takes a few hours to take the high-speed rail. Even if you drive, you can reach it in one day and one night—but in this medieval society with extremely primitive means of transportation, such a distance sounds like " "Sky Moat" almost.
In other words, the people on Houlier City 99 will never have the opportunity to go to such a far place in this life. In the human world where "the forest surrounds the city", "travel" is not a romantic endorsement at all, and the dangers contained in the forest along the way are enough to discourage most people.
So for Rody's answer, Hook immediately thought it was extremely absurd, and was choked to death by the wine. After recovering, he gasped and said: "This joke is not funny."
Roddy bowed his head and coughed twice. Naturally, Hook would not know the "girlfriend" he was talking about, but he still doesn't know him at all.
Quietly holding the rum, Rody thought about the little wizard in his memory, and sighed after a long while—although he wanted to find her, but the distance was indeed too far, and there were many dangers in between. The area is not something I can break through now...
I'm afraid there will be hope after the advanced professional level exceeds level 20, right
Seeing him in a daze, Hook stopped talking and started chatting with other people who came to buy wine.
Time passed like this, and it didn't take long for the five adventurers to come down for dinner. Rody and the other party have not looked up or down for the past few days, and they can be regarded as "acquaintances". Shi Ye responded with a friendly nod, and then the group sat at a table beside them and went to eat.
Roddy turned his back and wanted to find Hook to pour a glass of water, but when he raised his eyes, he found that he was staring into the distance.
"What's wrong?"
"Hmph, it's Francis' man again. He's been wandering around this area these days." Hook squinted his eyes, as if he didn't like the guy who just entered the door. The scouts with bows and arrows come here every day to ask this and that, which annoys me enough. Now it’s good, they come into my tavern and talk to customers without saying hello, these people are really getting more and more unruly..."
Because they are already familiar with each other these days, Hook doesn't have the earlier guard when he speaks—of course, he will never know that the "scout with a bow and arrow" is looking at him strangely in front of him at this time
However, Rody didn't feel that he might be exposed, he was just wondering: Francis failed to assassinate Sally, and now he sent someone to seek help from the deadly enemy of the Rose Cross? Could it be that they are planning to have them assassinate Sally
Raid the monastery directly
When the question came to this point, Luo Di thought of what happened today, and his mood suddenly cooled down—heh, go with what you love, I don't bother to care about it.
"Who cares what he wants, I'm not interested." Hook was also bored, and said casually: "I heard that some bishop will come to Holy City around the 15th. will be better
Rody caught the information in it, suddenly turned his head to the side, and pretended to ask casually: "Oh? Why?"
"Every time a character like this comes to Houllier City, the monastery will be dispatched collectively. All the nuns and priests will go to the square to perform some rituals, and the bishop will also come with a group of believers from other places. There are a lot of people who can’t afford to live in a big hotel, so they will come to my place to stay—by the way, if you continue to stay and tell a few more stories, the business here will probably be even better..."
Hook was immersed in beautiful fantasies, but he didn't notice Roddy's eyes that became more and more profound. He took the new ale and asked, "Then—will that Earl Francis also attend the event?"
"All the nobles will be present, but the old Duke of Angmar doesn't know if he will be present this year. Three years ago, he seemed to be shunning due to illness."
"It should be quite lively, right?"
"Well, every time."
Rody maintained proper interest, and chatted with Hook without missing a beat, but he noticed that Francis' subordinates had a few words with a few Rosary Cross believers and then left, as if they broke up unhappy.
And when he returned to his room, Rody already had a plan to deal with Francis in his mind.
