The Duke of Angmar's excitement had its origins—because not only did he know the name "Rohar's Hammer", but it could even be said that he had a "relationship" with the other party.
During Angmar's more than 30 years in power, the civilians in Efta's territory were not without harassment from orcs. Angmar once ordered the soldiers to resist, but the results were minimal. It is not uncommon for the entire team to be almost wiped out like veteran Luge. Such an astonishing loss ratio caused the Luciferon family to suffer a lot, and even lost their morale afterwards, and they did not dare to face the orcs at all. Confrontation...
This is definitely a disgrace to the Duke of Angmar.
The wolf on the family logo originally represented the great feats of Luciferon's first ancestors in fighting the orcs, but in this generation, he was chased away like a dog by the orcs of "Rohal's Hammer"... How not to make him feel angry? So Angmar had vowed to recover the debt from the orcs ten years ago, but after encountering the changes brought about by the undead, this vow was completely lost.
But now, what Rody said made him feel overwhelmed for a moment—because Rody's behavior was equivalent to directly washing away the shame that the orcs had brought to this family and trampled on the other party.
"well"
Two good words in a row are enough to prove the excitement of the Duke of Angmar. He will not suspect that Rody is making up a story to fool himself, because it is completely unnecessary. His cheeks are slightly rosy, which is obviously due to blood The performance after the surge, but this emotion was quickly suppressed by him, and his voice returned to calm, "Continue... Did you kill that witch doctor?"
"This is exactly the problem..." Rody recalled the history that originally belonged to another time and space, and said in a low voice: "The wisdom and commanding ability shown by that witch doctor far surpassed his chief, and he has great respect for The Karen Kingdom has shown great aggressive intentions—the outpost outside Nolan Village that I led the team to eradicate is enough to illustrate this problem, and he also promised Francis a lot of benefits, and promised to give him at least 500 wolves The right to use cavalry, for 'opening up the frontiers,...'"
These words were all asked by Francis. Francis, who had his wrist cut off at the beginning, confided all the conditions promised by Sarota. At this time, when Angmar heard the information, what happened just now? The still fiery mind suddenly cooled down as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it.
"To even negotiate terms with the orcs, it's simply..."
He shook his head and sighed. Some things that he couldn't let go of in his heart had finally dissipated at this time—for this son, his original thoughts were very optimistic: even if he was not allowed to inherit the position of the lord, he could at least play a role in the future. Some use cases. But now it seems that his previous plan was a bit naive, and he said bluntly: If Rody hadn't done so many things, I am afraid that the territory of Efta would be completely engulfed by orcs in a short time
And Sally, who was eavesdropping on the sidelines, heard the "deal" between Francis and Sarota for the first time at this moment. Such a shocking incident immediately dissipated some of her original "guilt" and felt that The original depression in my heart seemed to disappear completely with these "secrets" revealed by Rody.
In the living room, the discussion between Rody and the Duke of Angmar was still going on, but then the two knights couldn't hold back their curiosity and asked him many questions about his journey into the orc kingdom. Regarding these questions, Rody didn't answer. Telling the whole story, many places were passed in a vague way—after all, he couldn't explain why he knew so much information about the Beastman Kingdom. He could only attribute the success of this trip to the enemy's carelessness and paralysis.
As for how much the two knights and the duke believed, Rody didn't care. Anyway, the two sides are already standing on the same front, and the resources that should be shared are shared, and the "private goods" are not so clear.
After talking for a long time, Angmar felt that there was no need for Rody to talk so much at once, so she changed the subject appropriately, looked up and looked around, and asked in doubt: "By the way, why hasn't Sally come yet?"
"This girl, she's probably still angry..." The conversation changed, and the Duke looked at Rody with a half-smile, "Rody, Sally seems to treat you differently from others."
Sally, who eavesdropped on all this not far away, blushed instantly, wanted to get up and interrupt her father's straightforward inquiry, but she was curious in her heart how Rody would answer—she bit her lip, and finally decided to stand up. Ears, concentrate on continuing to eavesdrop...
"Miss Sally, she...well, I think it might be because I happened to run into her a few times in a crisis or something—"
I thought about the words to describe it in my mind for a long time, but when I thought of the words "too many words will lose", I immediately responded with a "one-size-fits-all" style: "She is a good girl, um... I think so."
Fortunately, there is no such thing as a "good person card" in this era, otherwise Sally, who was eavesdropping at this time, might run away immediately.
"Heh... I won't ask too much about young people, but you have to understand that she will definitely be the lord of the Efta territory in the future."
Angmar doesn't care what Rody thinks, no matter how good he is, the grace of saving life is the grace of saving life, even if he repays the favor, he will never choose his daughter to "give" someone, let alone he only has such a precious daughter left Already...
"I understand this, I understand..."
Luo Di nodded thoughtlessly, thinking in his heart, old man, you really misunderstood, but he couldn't make any other expressions on his face, he could only grin foolishly.
"Rody, you should stay at the Duke's mansion for the next few days. No matter what, the Luciferon family will regard you as the most important friend, and I can guarantee this." Seeing that the time was almost up, Angmar signaled for Luo Di took a rest in the mansion, "As for the undead... how about those things, let's talk about it tonight?"
"no problem."
Roddy nodded, but then made his first request after coming here: "The scout team is still in the Cambay area, I think if it's possible..."
"They are all heroes of the Luciferon family, and they are also proud." Angmar waved his hand, and said with a smile: "I can only rush into the orc kingdom and get out of it, such a thing I can only think about, but now you This group of guys really did it... During the dinner, none of them are allowed to be absent.”
This is a completely agreeable attitude. It can be seen that the Duke of Angmar is in a good mood. After hearing this, Rody is relieved, and then led by the maid to rest in the room where he is going to stay today—but before he walked out of the living room, he At the end of the corridor, I saw a skirt corner disappearing in a hurry...
It was not difficult for Rody to guess that it was Sally who left in a hurry, but he was very puzzled at this moment...why did she run away
In the evening, the monastery of the "Rose Cross".
Archbishop Rubens, who has returned here, has been busy almost all afternoon—he has to write several reports on the "dead souls" to send to his superior, Bishop Kadji, and the archbishops of several other dioceses. After work, when he finally finished writing the letter, he couldn't help feeling dizzy. He sat on the chair for a long time and released a "spirit awakening spell" before he gradually recovered.
"It's still old..."
Shaking his head, recalling what happened at noon today, his face couldn't help but feel a little hot—fortunately, all of this only happened in the restaurant. If Benjamin or some priest followed him, I'm afraid such a thing would soon become a reality. He is the laughing stock of his colleagues in the "Temple".
Looking up from the window, he realized that it was already evening. He got up and was about to go for a walk, but happened to meet Benjamin who came in from outside the house.
"A lot of things?"
"The arrangements have been roughly made. I just came back from the city square. I will confirm whether the troops are sufficient for the next speech."
Benjamin had an unconcealable tiredness on his face. He picked up the water glass on the table and drank more than half of it, looking exhausted.
"There should be no problem with the speech on the 25th. It's just that Akasha has not been tracked down. It's a pity..." Rubens sighed, and put this insignificant pagan priest aside from his mind, and said "By the way, I heard some things at the Duke's Mansion at noon, which are related to the undead. Let's send someone to send these letters later. There are many things involved, so it must be done as soon as possible."
Naturally, Rubens would not go into detail about what happened in the Duke's mansion. Seeing that Benjamin was quite tired at this moment, he also sat aside and asked, "By the way, you told me this morning that you found the shooter. I didn't have time to elaborate later, do you have time to talk to me about this now?"
"He..."
Benjamin took a breath, took another sip, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This guy is very powerful. Some time ago, Sally was almost assassinated in the monastery. If it wasn't for him, I'm afraid I would really be ashamed to see you."
"Is there anything else?"
Rubens raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with interest, and then Benjamin explained everything that happened that day in detail, without embellishing it. After hearing this, the bishop felt that this kind of person did have some means. With courage and courage, coupled with the precise archery skills shown by the other party in the square, if he is recommended to the "Holy Temple", he may be able to hold a high position.
"Then what is this guy's identity? Where is he now?"
The governor was thinking about how to get in touch with the other party, and even when he asked this sentence, he had already begun to draw up a reward for sending the other party.
"His... His identity is a bit strange." Benjamin sighed, "Having done so many things, can you believe that he is just the captain of a scouting team?"
"Scout team...captain?"
Rubens turned his head, his expression suddenly looked very strange, "Then... what is his name?"
"Roddy, the scout captain of the Rusifron family in Nolan Village, he should be a second lieutenant according to his military rank, he—Rubens? Rubens?"
Before Benjamin could finish speaking, he saw the entire face of the Bishop in front of him twitching several times in a row, as if he had been punched several times. He immediately stepped forward and asked a few words with concern, but Rubens never answered. He, who looked like he had lost his soul, murmured in a low voice, "So it's him... So it's him... No wonder..."
