"What... what?"
Rody stared blankly at Brody, his head seemed to freeze for a moment—when the words "marriage partner" and "Nata" were combined, a picture instinctively popped up in Rody's mind. Picture: I am wearing a gown, and Nata, who is pulling down a white wedding dress amidst flowers and applause, stands in front of a bishop in a black robe and swears an oath...
He swallowed involuntarily, but shook his head, and immediately expelled this kind of picture—the only one who wants to hold hands is Nefei, and Nata... For some reason, she always It is the appearance of the former Bingshan mentor.
Her cold confession of tasks, expressionless pointing and archery, impatient and indifferent tone... These impressions have been deeply imprinted in the depths of Roddy's mind, and it would be too scary for him to marry this Nata
However, it is also true that he kissed her in order to save her during the battle five days ago—Nata didn't cry and make a fuss, and she didn't become more indifferent to herself, but she was still as calm as before, so what does this mean
Although Rody couldn't be sure what Nata was thinking, he could confirm that he was absolutely opposed to "marrying with Nata".
"Um... I don't plan to get married yet, don't think about me for now, I think Soderol might be better, and there are so many nobles in Efta, there are so many marriage partners, I will discuss it with the Duke of Angmar , this is easily resolved."
He saw that Brody seemed to want to say something, so he quickly changed the topic—"Even if it's a marriage, I think it's more appropriate to wait until the situation in Efta stabilizes. What's more important now is those charged crystals...Elson The city urgently needs these samples for research, and more importantly, there is an organization that is also looking for these things. If they are targeted, it is actually very dangerous..."
"I don't need those stones. You just send someone to transport them away. All the books that can be moved in the Wagra ruins have been transferred to me, but these books are too difficult. To be honest... I may not be able to read them in my life."
Brody didn't worry about the marriage with Nata and Rody any more, but was rather troubled by the tomes of high elf literature—in his opinion, it was a waste of money for him to be unable to exert the power of these books .
"There are six libraries in Elson City. If possible, I would like to move the books that are too difficult, and at the same time exchange some basic books--one of my... underlings is a descendant of the High Elf, and is also a An Arcanist, she should have researched all of these."
It was difficult for Rody to explain Camilla's origin, so he could only make up an identity casually. Brody just thought for a moment before nodding his head in agreement—Rody once promised a bright future for Elsa Village, but now his promise has come to an end. Realize... so Brody never had any doubts about Roddy.
Brody's thoughts are actually very simple, and can even be called "simple". In one sentence, it is "Since you are good to me, then I will treat you with all my heart."
However, Rody can accept other things, but he will not accept the "arranged marriage". After chatting for a few more words, he confirmed that Brody didn't mention the marriage again, and said: "These two days in Holy City There will be some movement, and after the turmoil subsides, there will be more caravans here to do business, so we need to wait these days."
He got up and looked at the team that had already assembled outside, then turned around and said, "If there are people coming from other Wood Elf villages, we can entertain them with good wine and meat, so that they can experience the difference between their cottages and towns, maybe they will Cut down on the nonsense."
"That's a good idea."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Rody came to the square of the village—Henry and Buffon's injuries were almost healed, and the fat man's arm was bandaged, and he was directing his men to tie up the goods on the carriage with one hand. Well, when Buffon saw Roddy coming down, he came over to report the number and status of the team, and by the way, briefly talked about the current armed forces and standards of the wood elves. This kindness made Roddy nod, and when he saw that they were willing to After fighting to the death for a simple order of his own, Rody trusted them unreservedly, and further delegated power to let them stand alone.
The caravan transported all the special products of Wood Elf Village, and the cavalry team led by Sodloar formed another team, preparing to return to Parland with the charged crystals under the ruins of Wagra, waiting for the new After a round of conscription and training, they will be transported to Elson City.
Rody went to change the leather armor, carried a full set of equipment on his back, and went to Nata's tree hole, preparing to say goodbye to the "student" who had not recovered from his injuries.
Nata's injuries are too serious, and she has been in a coma for the past few days, and her condition has stabilized, but she can't get up—Nata was awake when Rody came in, and he greeted her very naturally. He picked up the water glass, sat beside Nata's bed, gently supported her shoulders, and fed her a few sips of water.
Nata accepted all this in silence without any resistance.
"The team is ready to go, let me tell you."
Roddy put down his water glass.
"Do you really want me to take a month off?"
Nata's mood was obviously a little depressed.
"At least a month, maybe longer, until your body fully recovers. And during this period... I don't allow you to participate in any hunting or fighting." Rody looked at Nata with thin and pale cheeks, but his heart was tight—two People have experienced countless battles together, and there is always some unspeakable ties in their hearts, but this time Nata was injured too badly, almost as if she died once... This made Rody feel a little scared every time he thought about it.
But at this time, he didn't want to make the atmosphere too heavy, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "I need to go to the southern part of the kingdom. There won't be any enemies there. You just need to rest assured and wait for me to come back."
After finishing speaking, Luo Di felt that this kind of entrustment seemed to have a different meaning, as if the husband who left home to fight was comforting his wife...
He coughed twice in embarrassment, and then found that Nata's cheeks seemed to be a little flushed—but the wood elf quickly looked away, and changed the subject: "There are some things that I have never had the chance to tell you... the previous bishop died. I talked to his men about something before, about the staff..."
Nata repeated what she heard from Flack. Roddy had already asked a lot of things from the mouth of the last surviving heretic, but there were some questions about "Scepter of Viper" and "Cardinal Goethe." "The matter, but he had never heard of it before.
Roddy knew that the "Viper's Cross" was still contending with the "Rose Cross" until 597, but he didn't know the specifics. Things are often a matter of concern after joining the camp. Rody has been committed to fighting "foreign enemies" such as orcs and undead, and he doesn't remember much about these.
Anyway, such a thing has little to do with him, it is something Rubens has to worry about, just remind him when he has time to change his favor.
"I see, this information is very useful." Rody nodded, and then he heard the voice of the entire team outside, knowing that it was time to leave.
"I go first."
Facing Nata, Rody was unwilling to say too many polite words.
Nata nodded lightly. Roddy knew she wouldn't say much, so he turned around and was about to leave. However, when he climbed to the tree hole and was about to jump down, he heard an incomprehensible order floating in his ears. —
"Teacher, come back soon."
Rody froze slightly, and finally jumped down the tree hole without looking back.
The team that had already been prepared left Elsa Village immediately, and began to go towards their respective destinations: Suodloor returned to Parland with the cavalry, and began a three-month rest: the soldiers needed to put a Take a long vacation to relax and adjust your mentality.
And Henry and the others took new goods to Kig Town for a new round of sales—the market in Houllier City is not held every day, so they have already established the headquarters of the firm in Keg Town, and He began to deal with those alchemist guilds, magician guilds, and mercenary guilds.
Everything is going according to plan, and as the planner of all strategies, the only thing Rody has to do next is to go to Houlier City alone to attend the banquet held by the Duke's Mansion.
This was the last step in all the arrangements between Roddy and the Duke of Angmar in the letter—and according to plan. All the chaos in Everta will come to an end on this day.
Time passed, and on April 28th, the Brill Forest in the southwestern part of the kingdom had been raining for more than a week.
The team deployed by the "Rose Cross" in Brier Forest has been fighting continuously for more than three months, and until today, all their operations have been smooth. The executioner team of the "Viper Cross" was on the verge of collapse after several failed counterattacks, and the originally long line was forced to shrink. According to the estimation of the "Temple", as long as all the reserve troops are invested in the future, it will definitely be able to wipe out these enemies
The battle of the "Rose Cross" sect is different from the lords summoning knights to fight. Because the sect has a strict hierarchy and prohibits orders, their army has extremely good coordination. Although most of the battles in the forest were small-scale battles, each army was able to maintain the same front from beginning to end. By continuously exerting tremendous pressure on the "Viper Cross", today's results were finally achieved.
The enemy has been retreating, and there are fewer and fewer battles... Although the teams of the "Rose Cross" are scattered throughout the jungle, they all believe in the message delivered by the bishops of the "Temple": these pagans we're going to be fucked
The pattering raindrops fell between the camps. The soldier in metal armor wiped his sweaty cheeks, walked to the tent in the center of the camp, and walked into it under the leadership of a priest after explaining his purpose.
