Clouds drifted across the sky, and under the sun, on the green meadow, some crooked corpses lay across the wilderness.
The vultures unique to the grassland hover and fall, and occasionally crows fly by with strange calls. These black shadows bring a little haze to the peaceful grassland. The blood had solidified, and the stench of corpses gradually permeated... The battlefield left by Rody when he rescued Sally remained the same.
Francis' men had already checked here, but after all, they didn't have time to deal with a group of orc corpses, so the original appearance of the battlefield was almost completely preserved at this time.
And when the sun was high, a figure that shouldn't be here was squatting down, carefully observing the orc's corpse in a terrible state of death.
From any point of view, judging the complete process of a battle through the traces left by the corpse and the ground can be called a remote skill. Because in the eyes of ordinary people, after being pecked by crows and exposed to the scorching sun, these corpses have almost no judgment value.
But for a 13-year-old Soderol who participated in the southern border war with the baron's father, these things are enough to provide him with a lot of information about the battle.
Three days after the battle, the dead wargs, the orcs whose wounds were full of maggots, and the horses that died due to the trauma of the impact were still there. When the tall body of Soderol appeared on this battlefield, a group of crows were pecking And the vultures roared into flight.
He endured the stench and looked through all the corpses. Although his face remained expressionless, he felt a little horrified by those fatal wounds.
"Good archery."
Soderol sighed sincerely.
He has already seen the tragic battlefield left by old Gessen and others to intercept the wolf cavalry. Sodlor, who has studied orcs for a long time, also judged the identity of this wolf cavalry. It is not difficult for Soderol to come to a conclusion based on that letter. . That is, Rody knew about the enemy's conspiracy, and at a critical moment, he saved Sally, who was supposed to have no hope of surviving!
Thinking of this, Suo Deluoer couldn't help but feel a little excited—he is a descendant of a noble family who suffered from disasters, and what he dreams in his heart is to have enough strength and status to revive the family and take revenge. It's just that he is young, but he is repeatedly rejected by reality. The blow, and finally began to become depressed and decadent.
In the days of Finks Village, he was a little estranged from those scouts, because everyone knew that Soderol's abilities were far from being just a scout here, but he found that he couldn't see what was in front of him. hope-
Revive the family? If you can't even fight against your colleagues in a fortress, how can you talk about revival
revenge? If you encounter orcs, you will take the whole village to escape. How can you talk about revenge
The blood gradually cooled down, and Suo Deluoer fell silent as if resigned to his fate these years, but at this moment, he felt that something in his chest was being rekindled.
Could it be because I saw someone really make a "heroic" move
Regardless of whether it was Rody who did all this, Soderol was sure that there was indeed a strong man who could easily kill ten orc wolf cavalry and leave quietly.
In this society, how could a descendant of a declining nobleman not want to make a career? How not to be a powerful lord
His fingers trembled slightly, and Soderol felt that he hadn't been this excited for a long time. He stood up, combined with the map of the Efta territory in his mind, and carefully thought about the route for Sally and Rody to leave here, but then he found that he could not judge the other party's whereabouts at all, because Francis and Sally said Unclear contradictions make everything more confusing.
In the end, the scheming Soderol decided to go to Nolan Village where Rody was originally located. He needed to confirm whether all this was done by Rody. made his own plans.
He wants to become stronger, and the scout position of riding a horse and herding sheep all day long has made Suo Deluoer endure enough. As long as there is a chance to find a chance to improve his strength, he will not give up.
Riding back, Soderol's figure gradually disappeared on the horizon.
So far, the historical events that should have been settled long ago seem to have entered the stage of real chaos at this moment-Francis has already prepared for the worst, and even prepared to "wait for a rabbit" outside Houlier City to intercept and kill Sally; Delors, who was originally an outsider, changed his future plans because of the battlefield left by Rody.
Historically, Houlier City, which was originally holding a burial ceremony for Sally's death, is still quiet at this moment, as if nothing happened.
Rody and Sally, who are in the Forest of Whispering Whispers, are racing against Francis, but no one will know who the final winner will be.
... ..
"It's really hard for me to imagine... Are you really thirty-seven years old?"
Sally didn't know how many times she said this sentence. She saw too many new things that she hadn't been exposed to along the way—except for those things in the copy of "Styro's Creek". The experience of leaving the Silent Whispering Forest at a fast speed is absolutely unforgettable in this life.
According to the usual methods of those adventurers in the books, the best way to escape in the forest is to walk along the creek or river, but no one told Sally. In fact, the speed of drifting along the river is infinitely faster than walking. , Save countless times of effort.
"I traded my life for it, so I will naturally remember it clearly."
Rody was sorting out the things he just bought from Kig Town by the stream, and replied without raising his head.
In the early morning, the two used the raft made of vines and trees to go down the river at an alarming speed, and walked out of the edge of the forest before Sally had time to react.
This kind of thing is probably the first time someone has done this kind of thing for the adventurers in the Silent Whispering Forest, but for the "player" Roddy, this way of leaving the forest is really commonplace. In the "cracked soil" he experienced before his rebirth, everything tried to be realistic. The environment experienced by the players during their adventures in the forest has been put into great effort, such as humidity, heat, mosquito bites, etc., and there is no quick transfer point. Without a scroll to return to the city, everything depends on oneself. Therefore, after continuous research, the players who came to Jingyu Forest to play dungeons basically learned to use this method to leave the forest along the river.
Rody still clearly remembered the scene when the river was blocked when there were many people on the return journey, but now when he walked through the river, there was no one there, and he was a little uncomfortable.
And now, five days have passed since the night when the orc was killed.
After the incident of "disappearing" that day, the two of them spent a whole night in silence. On the second day, Sally seemed to understand that she was not throwing a temper, and gradually returned to normal, never mentioning anything that happened before.
In this way, Roddy was also secretly glad that he escaped.
It was already noon at this time, and Rody had already gone to Kig Town not far away by himself and returned. He sold the leopard skin and spider poison sac in the town at a relatively low price, and the silver coins he got were He bought a lot of food and things he needed—and his next plan was to change Sally's image, take her through the town that had already been inspected by Francis' eyeliner, and return to Hawley around the path of the Endel Mine. Seoul City.
You can't ride a horse or rent a carriage along the way, because you will be immediately interrogated by Conserton cavalry and town guards. Roddy chose to walk through the town because it won't attract too much attention. And once he left the town, everything was fine for him.
"Are we really going into Kieg Town?"
Sally took the clothes that Rody handed her, and seemed a little distrustful of Rody's decision.
"Your brother is probably rushing to the city of Houlier now, but all the towns along the way must be followed by people. He will not simply wait for you in the city of Houlier. I am afraid that he has spent all his money to stop you this time. "Rody dug out a purple-black plant stem from the package he bought, and knocked it with a cobblestone he found casually.
"So... we have to go back before him, otherwise I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter Houlier City."
Thinking of her brother's behavior style, Sally also understood the crisis of the current situation. Speaking of which, if she could return to Hollier City ahead of time, she would have enough ways to ensure her safety, but no matter what she thought at this moment, she didn't understand how Rody would have such strong confidence.
Francis must have returned on a fast horse, but he... was walking after all.
"Time is tight, so I dye my hair first."
At this moment, Rody has gradually recovered his previous "technical house" state. He acts extremely efficiently without talking nonsense. The smashed things in his hands can temporarily dye Sally's dazzling white-blonde hair black. This is the first step in disguise. .
Along the way, Sally gradually got used to Rody's behavior style. Although the previous few incidents made her feel ashamed and angry, it was clear that Sally gradually understood that this guy in front of her was...to put it bluntly, he was simply lacking in the way of a woman. After thinking about it, she was not as angry as she was at first, and sometimes even showed a submissive attitude to Roddy's words—but obedience was obedience. When she lay on the ground, she watched Roddy's serious expression of being impressed by her. When I was doing my hair, I still couldn't help thinking wildly.
It is said that men are most attractive when they are serious. For Sally, who has never had close contact with the opposite sex, Roddy's current appearance does have some unspeakable taste...
No matter how rational a woman is, she is always emotional. The two of them had embarrassments, misunderstandings, and life-and-death crises before. When I think about it, I feel that there seems to be such an inexplicable connection between them. But after calming down, this feeling was faint and not strong, it just flowed quietly in Sally's heart like a stream, existing but not noisy.
Lying on the ground, Sally looked at the blue sky, her hair was scattered, and her posture was quiet and serene. Occasionally, he could see Luo Di's dangling hand, but the other party was frowning and thinking about something with the dye in his hand, as if he didn't notice her gaze at all.
What a weird idiot.
Sally wanted to laugh a little, but there was an indescribable emotion in her heart, as if she wanted to quietly enjoy this moment of peace.
