Sally was feeling a little anxious at this time, and she felt more and more that Rody was in such a situation because of her willful mischief before, but at this moment, no matter how she tried to save it with topics, Rody was still "You guys" Talk about yours, I'll eat mine"—after staying like this for a long time, Sally finally softened her heart and decided to have a chat with this guy to save him some face, but when she just looked up, she found that Roddy was upright looking straight at myself...
This kind of direct gaze made Sally's cheeks turn red all of a sudden, but then she noticed that Rody's expression suddenly became a little strange, and his eyes were slightly deviated, and moved to the side—and followed Rody's gaze. Go, Sally found that what he was looking at at this time was the maid Mel behind her.
Mel also noticed Roddy's gaze, and asked with some doubts: "Captain Roddy, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Oh, can you help me..." Luo Di smiled and picked up the wine glass at hand, shook it and said: "...Would you like to pour wine
"OK."
Mel nodded in agreement, and then walked to Rody's side. While pouring the wine, he found that the scout captain's gaze was always on him...
This, what does this mean
Not only Mel, but even Sally couldn't understand why Rody did this - why staring at the maid for no reason? It's impossible for Mel to be a bad guy. Could it be that he likes this type of girl
Girls' ability to associate is beyond the sky, not to mention the ability to eat vinegar. At this time, although Sally doesn't believe that Roddy will have a cramp in his head to the point where he looks like an ordinary maid of his own, this kind of thinking still makes him feel uncomfortable. Her heart is sour...
Of course, as an aborigine in this world, Sally would never have thought that what Rody was worried about was
In fact, a few minutes ago, Rody was idly thinking about the advanced task of "Witch Hunter", and then he couldn't think of it, so he suddenly had a whim, trying to compare the two knights, Titus and Wellington, who is more powerful, so He secretly opened the "Status Bar of Surrounding Characters" to see which of them had a higher level.
However, because of this, he immediately sensed that someone in this room... was not quite right.
The names of all the maids, even John Butler, seemed to Rody to be harmless "green", but only the maids behind Sally had a basic level almost equal to Rody's and were displayed in yellow.
The "status bar of surrounding people" can't show whether a stranger is an enemy or a friend, so although he is alert in his heart, he can't directly ask Mel's identity—what if she is just a female bodyguard who secretly protects Sally
However, the cautious Rody still felt that something was wrong with this situation, especially after the Duke's Mansion had "undead spies" like Alpha before, he would never naively think that there would be nothing tricky here. So when the maid named "Mel" was pouring wine beside him, he suddenly interrupted Bishop Rubens' talk about "the relationship between believers and sects" and asked directly: "By the way, have you Have you heard of the ghosts of the Tasman kingdom?"
When such words were asked, everyone was taken aback, including Mel who had just poured wine for Roddy. The maid's heart skipped a beat, but because her expression was dull in the past, she didn't show any extra expression at this time, but slowly retreated behind Sally without changing her expression...
"Tasman? There has been no news for a long time, Captain Roddy, can you tell me something new?"
The bishop who was interrupted frowns at Roddy. He has already had a lot of opinions on this humble but impolite scout captain, so his words are already vaguely thorny.
But the Duke of Angmar on the side raised his brows slightly, thinking of something faintly, and said calmly: "The Tasman Kingdom has existed for thousands of years. Although it has remained silent for most of the time, I remember that there was still a relationship between them and the Karen Kingdom." They communicated several times, and they all maintained a friendly attitude. If I remember correctly, the last time I heard from them should have been twenty-two years ago."
Rody and the Duke looked at each other. Although the two had never had much communication, they had an indescribable "tacit understanding" at this moment—Angmar's words gave him a chance to continue expressing, so Rody Immediately continued: "It's like this. Some time ago, I heard the name of an undead and a story from a bard. It seems to be...Ansadin or something... The story is about the undead trying to destroy the entire world. The mainland and the like, I have been thinking, will the Tasman Kingdom do this?"
While talking, Rody glanced intentionally or unintentionally at Mel who was standing behind Sally. His "environmentally sensitive" fighting posture made him immediately confirm a certain possibility, but before Rody had time to say anything else, Rubens His cold snort suddenly froze the atmosphere at the table—
“Simply nonsense”
The bishop waved his hand, apparently completely scoffing at Roddy's remarks, "Can you believe the words of bards? Can you also believe stories from hearsay? Captain Roddy, do you think such things are very interesting
This is a merciless refutation. Although his tone is still calm, the imposing majesty of the superior still makes the table quiet for an instant...
Roddy rubbed the space between his brows, but did not respond. The Duke of Angmar looked puzzled and narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Rubens; Sally, like the two knights, looked left and right in a daze, not understanding why such a situation happened...
At this time, the dessert has been served, which almost means the end of the luncheon. Rubens is not interested in continuing to hold on to Roddy, and instead tells another purpose of coming here today:
"Forget it, let's talk about something else—before arriving in Houlier City, Bishop Benjamin kept mentioning in his letters that Sister Sally's talent for practicing divine arts was extremely high. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I also confirm it. such a fact.”
Seeing that everyone at the table turned their gazes away except Rody, he continued: "After this speech is over, I am also planning to return to the 'Holy Temple,' so I hope to bring Sister Sally back with me and participate in the speech." A two-year or so 'temple training,'"
"This is the 'Holy Temple, and the screening will only be conducted every five years. I myself have only one place in this plan, so I hope that the Duke will fulfill it. It can be regarded as my... thanks to the Luciferon family. "
As soon as Rubens finished speaking, the restaurant fell silent.
The Duke of Angmar squinted his eyes slightly, quickly thinking about the information hidden behind Rubens' words, while Sally frowned in a daze, still not understanding what such "advanced training" meant.
But soon she remembered something she had heard a long time ago: every six years, the priests of the "Rosary Cross" above the bishop will select some extremely gifted young people from all over the country and bring them to the "St. "Temple" for two years or more... In the past, these people were called "geniuses", but after entering the "Temple" to complete their training, their strength will skyrocket, not to mention their status will also rise accordingly. Those young The excessive bishops and diocesan bishops are basically such characters.
But now, Rubens told Sally that she had such an opportunity and qualification
My heart was filled with joy at first, but then suddenly trembled...
for a period of two years.
When thinking of the time limit, Sally suddenly realized what such an opportunity meant—if she followed the bishop and left here, she might not be able to see Roddy again for two years.
two years
Sally felt that her breathing suddenly became difficult. Although she would cry sadly because of the "Princess and Knight" story told by bards in the past, when such a thing really happened to her, then This kind of huge helplessness immediately pressed down like a mountain...
Her eyes were extremely confused for a moment, and many messy thoughts kept popping up in her heart: to go or not to go? How to tell Roddy? Will he wait for me? Could it be that he has gone far away since I came back? or…
If such a matter were taken apart, Sally would definitely be able to think clearly about the problem, but at this time, because Rody was in her mind, the so-called "balance of pros and cons" was immediately completely ignored in front of perceptual thinking.
She opened her mouth slightly, and didn't know how to answer for a while, but before Sally could answer the bishop, Rody's words came to her ears abruptly and ruthlessly:
"This is a good opportunity. It will be better if you stay for a few more years. It's better to stay there and not come back.
Stay for... how many years? stay there...don't come back
Sally stood there blankly, her mind was buzzing, but she couldn't believe what Rody said—couldn't he just not want to see herself? Does he wish he left and never came back
He, he, how could he do this
Does he hate himself so much
If the girl's thoughts are cut into the horns, it is absolutely impossible to pull seven or eight cows back. Sally thought of Rody's performance when she confessed her love before, and the soreness in her heart suddenly burst out uncontrollably, her nose soured, and tears almost fell directly.
"I...I'm not feeling well..."
Sally covered her mouth and stared at Rody for three or four seconds. Crystal tears glistened in her eyes, but then she turned around and ran out of the restaurant sobbing...
Such a sudden change made Rubens stunned in astonishment, and immediately blamed the "culprit" on Roddy who was talking nonsense. He turned his eyes to the scout captain with some annoyance, and angrily said: "Captain Roddy, what are you talking about?" What means?"
The bishop has been in a high position all year round, so such a shameless rebuke really has a certain momentum, but Luo Di ignored such a question at all, stood up directly, and raised his arms facing the front...
This posture is like a hooligan who is ready to strike at a disagreement, the corners of the bishop's eyes twitched, the young man in his heart is really too arrogant, does he even want to strike directly at a disagreement
Seeing Rody's reaction, Rubens immediately stood up and prepared to respond. He had already begun to chant the divine spell prayer in his mouth, but he discovered the problem just halfway through the casting process——
Rody didn't even look at him, but pointed at the maid behind Sally's seat.
