In just a few days from rebirth to the present, Rody always judges everything here based on his past memories. The memory of "Lody" was basically ignored by him, so when some things that seem to be taken for granted are re-focused, It was only then that Rody discovered that the consequences of the small differences might be unexpected.
The children of the old Duke of Luciferon
Roddy knew Duke Francis, although he is still a "Count" in the mouth of these soldiers, but in Roddy's memory, he was a traitor who was hated to the root of his teeth—
When the orcs invaded, instead of organizing an effective resistance, this bastard betrayed his country for glory, which directly led to the fall of Hollier City!
Francis' injustice was eventually captured by the rebels and hanged. When this guy's body was hung in front of the square later, it even attracted the cheers of countless people-you must know that the execution of a nobleman, and the execution of a lord entrusted by the kingdom, will not be recognized by the noble class at any time, but that Duke Francis was executed once, and none of the various parties in the empire, which had been seemingly at odds with each other, spoke out to condemn him. Because Viscount Francis colluded with the orcs and betrayed the people in his territory, just for himself to be able to monopolize the power of the territory!
The memory suddenly became clear at this time, and Rody remembered the conversations of those NCs around him when he was trying to level up his deputy skills in Houlier City after starting the server—
At that time, commoners in the streets and alleys were complaining that Duke Francis was too taxed, and they often missed the old Duke in their mouths. At that time, many people analyzed that Duke Francis seemed to have done a lot of despicable things in order to obtain his father's title.
what has he done...
Rody squinted his eyes and thought, and shifted the breakthrough point to the "Duke's daughter" in the soldier's mouth—he vaguely remembered that before the complete fall of Houllier City, a master leathermaker would always say something about the old man when he gave the player tasks. How beautiful and pure the Duke's daughter was at that time, she would also assign some tasks, the content was to distribute some bread and food to the slums, because the master leathermaker had received gifts from the old Duke's daughter in the slums, so for many years I will always remember and be grateful.
where did she go
Thinking of this, Rody suddenly felt a sense of tension in his heartbeat—the fog of memory dissipated as he gradually woke up... Rody suddenly remembered the words of the master leatherworker: "It's unfortunate to say...Miss Sally, two years Died half a year ago in an orc attack on Finx Village..."
Suddenly, Roddy felt a flash of lightning flash through his mind and shivered all over his body!
The clues were gradually pieced together, and the words in memory surfaced. Rody couldn't help but combine the contents of the letter, and got a very possible inference...
The next actions of the orcs...could it be related to the death of the old duke's daughter
Could it be that it was Finks Village that they were going to attack
As soon as this inference appeared, some fragments flashed in his memory again: "Francis stole the duke's position by any means", "The old duke died of a strange cause", "The nobles of the kingdom had secretly colluded with the orcs" and other information made him more sure of his own. Hypothetically—judging from Francis’ despicable character, this traitor will definitely eliminate all existences that hinder his path before he actually assumes power—even if the other party is his own sister!
And what if his plot is stopped? Will Houllier City survive the fall
This thought came out of his mind uncontrollably, making Roddy frown again.
If possible, he would never miss any chance to change history. If all of this matches what I guessed, then what Rody has to do is not difficult, all he needs to do is stop the grand duke's daughter from going to Finks Village... As for the others—
"Roddy?"
Seeing that Luo Di stood still for a long time without any movement, the soldier who answered before asked softly, which brought him back to his senses immediately, his expression became extremely serious in an instant, he turned his head and ordered: "Notify everyone to gather immediately, we have a new mission."
"Um. Yes!"
Although he didn't understand why Rody gave this order, Rody's invisible prestige made him immediately obey the order and turn around and run into the village.
Rody was not idle here. He thought for a while, ran all over the village, and finally got two clean parchments from an old man who used to be a clerk in the manor, and borrowed a quill and some sticky paper. In thick ink, two letters were written in orthodox style—one was signed by Lieutenant Sordin, and the other was signed by Anderson, the housekeeper of Nolan Village.
Next, he narrowed his eyes, diluted the ink, dipped a quill pen and scrawled on the rough sandpaper letter, and wrote the word "Finks Village" vaguely and scrawled in the orc language.
When Rody decided to make a move, he sorted out his thoughts. First, he had to confirm whether that Miss Sally was really going to Funks Village. If so, then the probability that this event coincided with the disaster in his memory was within More than ninety percent—if not, these forged letters would have given him a good reason to evade it.
The function of the profession of "Ranger" includes some "intelligence" expertise, so Luo Di is not the slightest familiar with the official rhetoric, so it is easy to forge these letters.
As for "Finks Village", Rody had never been there before his rebirth. In my impression, when the game was launched, there were ruins there, and every word from NC mentioned that it ceased to exist due to the attack of the orcs, and only the ruins after a fire remained. But when it comes to the specific location of Finks Village, "Lodi"'s memory told him that it was less than 30 kilometers away from Nolan Village.
Thinking about it this way, I still have a chance to prevent this from happening.
After getting everything ready, the team that had already woken up one after another was all there except for the wounded. Except for the two who had gone to notify the scouts of the villages and the original wounded, the whole team plus Rody had a total of nine people at this time, although they looked a little tired , but everyone is ready to fight at any time.
"The orcs may attack Finks Village tomorrow." Rody didn't have time to talk nonsense, he raised the letter he just wrote in his hand, "This is the letter from Second Lieutenant Sodin to prove that we are legally conducting cross-district inspections and notifications. Do you have any questions, everyone?"
Of course Ruge knew that the letter in his hand was a fake, but he also knew that Rody would not call this group of people to rush towards Finks Village out of thin air, so he replied very cooperatively: "No problem, sir."
This veteran has now been completely convinced by Roddy, to the point of trusting him blindly.
Carter and the rest of the soldiers followed Luge's answer, and Rody didn't say any more, and directly led the group of people on the horse, and rushed towards Finks Village without saying a word—it was already evening , the sky was pitch black.
"Really. Can it change history?"
Rody looked at the distant horizon expressionlessly, but his heart was not peaceful.
...
With Hollier City as the center, the territory ruled by the Luciferon family is called "Efta". The territory is so large and the resources are abundant that the Duke's words are hardly weaker than the king in the southeast.
Francis Lucifron was the eldest son of the old Duke Angmar, who was exactly twenty years old in the 8th year of the Elrond calendar, and had the title of Earl.
Using Roddy's criteria for judging players, his basic occupation is "Son of Nobility". The difference between him and "Legion Soldier" in terms of attributes lies in the added value of intelligence. When advancing, the most suitable choice is "Elemental Magician". It is a mysterious profession that only a few people are competent for, and now Francis, who can be called quite talented, has reached the threshold for advancing to the next profession—that is, the level 10 of "son of nobility". The title of "Element Master" for advanced professions.
If the situation is true, then for Luo Di, a second-level legionnaire, he is almost a mountain in front of him.
In the eyes of others, Francis is a standard heir—well-behaved and knowledgeable. At balls, banquets or private parties in the city, you can always see the count and young master talking and laughing happily with others. Not to mention that he is young and old, but he has a sense of victory. With a superior aura, he has made rapid progress under the guidance of his private magic teacher at a young age. He even wears the bronze Frost Ling emblem on his chest representing the "quasi-element master". No one doubts that he will be a perfect and qualified man. Heir to the duke, and believed that he could make the Luciferon family shine brighter.
In contrast, Francis' younger sister, Sally, does not seem to be as dazzling as her brother, but people will smile sincerely when they mention this girl, because her kindness and kindness are well-known facts in the entire territory. The status of "Duke's Daughter" often means that a large number of other nobles will come to inquire about the marriage before they are underage, but this situation does not appear in the Luciferon family, because this woman often distributes bread to beggars in the poor areas The girl who has decided to enter the "Rosicrucian" church when she becomes an adult-and all members who enter the church are not allowed to marry for life.
The weather in mid-April is suitable for travel. According to the previous request of his father, the Duke of Luciferon, Francis and Sally will visit the villages on the edge of the territory every year at this time.
In the original words of the old duke ten years ago, "every nobleman should not forget their own real responsibility. It is not to enjoy the happiness brought by wealth alone, but to let the people under their rule have a better life."
Although many border villages were entrusted to Lord Kirk, several lords welcomed the behavior of the duke's children patrolling the border. After all, these lords had to give Duke Angmar face.
In the past, the old duke always accompanied his children, but in the past five years, Angmar Luciferon did not travel with them again, which also caused Lord Kirk's attitude towards Francis and Sally to gradually cool down over the years. down.
In this regard, the two young people did not show any impatience.
Today is the seventeenth day that Sally and Francis have traveled together. They have to inspect more than 20 villages and small towns in the periphery of the entire territory. According to the plan, it will take about three months—— , food and lodging are all in a poor village, except for two maids and sixteen guards, the two noble heirs don't have any extra pomp.
This may be one of the reasons why the old nobles have more background than the upstarts. No matter how much wealth the family owns, the children will still experience the hardships that the ancestors suffered when they laid the foundation. At this time, in Vic Village, Francis, who was dressed in simple clothes, was talking with his sister—
"Dear Sally, according to the plan, the team should leave for Funks Village tomorrow, but the Uncle Smith I'm looking for seems to be coming back tomorrow. In order not to delay the trip, why don't you go there with the team today? ?”
