After all, Sally is only a sixteen-year-old girl after all. No matter what she has experienced before, at this age, the questions she can think about are all emotional.
The little girl's wild thoughts occasionally simulated some sad scenes in her mind-would he give up this promise because he couldn't enter the "Rosary Cross Temple"? Could it be that he has left Houllier City by now
The mentality of worrying about gains and losses made Sally not sleep well these days. Speaking of which, her ability is indeed much stronger than Roddy imagined. In just fifteen days, she already had temporary contact with her subordinates who had been buried deep in Hollier City, which prevented her from being completely passive when facing Francis.
But Sally also understands that she can't blatantly ask people to find Roddy, otherwise Francis, who has been eyeing him for a long time, will probably find Roddy's trouble in the first place. The only thing she can do is to wait here silently, at least until she confirms Francis' plan and whereabouts, she can't step out of the temple.
Is he coming
Unknowingly, when she walked to the main hall of the church, Sally would always look up at the colorful windows, clenched her fingers involuntarily, and sighed softly...
It's the sixteenth day, today...he won't come.
Thinking this way, she was about to turn around and leave, but heard a few conversations coming from the front of the main hall——
"This adventurer has important news to report to Bishop Benjamin. He has the token of Priest Nilda in his hand."
"Priest Nilda? Hasn't he already—"
"So the matter is urgent, and the bishop needs to be notified immediately."
It sounded like the guards outside the church brought an adventurer to the porch of the monastery, and he was going to meet Bishop Benjamin. Sally turned her head and raised her eyebrows in doubt—she remembered the name "Priest Nilda", that was Bishop Benjamin's "favorite student", and she had met him half a year ago, and later heard that he was on a mission out of the city Then she disappeared mysteriously. At that time, the temple sent many people to investigate, but they all returned without success.
Forget it, what does this have to do with me
Shaking her head, Sally was a little disappointed and was about to turn around and leave. For a moment just now, she realized that she really wanted Rody to stand at the door of the church and smile at her indifferently—but thinking about it now, that was just her own wishful thinking.
"Bishop Benjamin agreed to the meeting request, adventurer, you can enter here now. May the gods watch over you."
The sound of conversations in the distance faintly reached Sally's ears, and the words at the end were one of the teachings of the "Temple", that is, "God watches everything you do."
The young girl didn't look back, she was still walking forward, not paying attention to the approaching guards and adventurers behind her, even a little absent-minded.
"By the way, my lord priest, I have one more request, I hope you can agree."
"Tell me, adventurer."
The middle-aged priest had a calm voice, and the priests in the temple were all gentle and helpful, but Sally felt that the voice of the adventurer seemed familiar...
"As you know, I'm an adventurer who happened to be passing through Hollier City. I have some friendship with Lord Kirk. He happened to ask me to send something a few days ago—it was for Miss Sally."
"Oh? Miss Sally?" The middle-aged priest turned his head, looked at Sally who was walking not far away, and said softly, "That one is, if there is anything, just give it to her."
The sound of conversation not far away echoed in her ears, but Sally didn't turn her head immediately. She continued to walk forward, trying to maintain her normal posture, but no one could see that her fingers were trembling slightly.
She understands that she must not make a familiar gesture with the other party. In this unfamiliar environment, even a slight flaw may lead to unpredictable consequences.
Footsteps from behind approached, and a plain and familiar tone sounded behind him—"Miss Sally, please stay."
That's right...it's Roddy's voice. That's right.
Although everything was confirmed in her heart, the girl who had matured her mind took a deep breath, turned around slowly, lowered her eyes and said softly: "I am, please... May I ask who you are?"
His eyes followed the words, and his posture was like that of two people meeting for the first time. Although Rody wore a large cloak, the exquisite and unique leather boots and gloves still caught her eyes. Sally would never forget the unique features of Chimera scales, so when her When his gaze was fixed on Rody's face, he was absent-minded for a moment, so that he stuttered slightly.
The gray linen cloak was on his body, and the brand-new leather armor seemed to make him escape from the scout captain covered in mud in Sally's impression, carrying a hornbow and a scimitar. Cursed by witchcraft but actually thirty-seven years old" introduced himself, and suddenly realized that the other party's words did not look like nonsense.
The person in front of him should not be a village scout, but a powerful adventurer with rich experience.
For a long time, Rody's image in Sally's heart has changed again and again, but there is still no outline that she can see clearly, scout captain? Adventurer? Mercenaries? knight? Or a descendant of a certain nobleman
What he did was unimaginable to ordinary people, leading Sally out of the siege, even if it was the powerful guardian knights under his father, I am afraid that this kind of thing would not be able to do it.
Sally felt her heart beating extremely fast, and her face, which was trying to maintain a calm face, could hardly be tensed—the corners of her mouth wanted to turn up, but she trembled slightly because of restraint. She clenched her fingers tightly and stared closely at Rody's face, as if waiting for him to show a familiar smile.
However, Rody's serious face has not changed at all, only the same indifference and rigidity, as if he doesn't know Sally at all.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Sally." Rody's eyes seemed unfocused, as if he was just looking at a sculpture, facing her, "Lord Kirk just happened to have something for me to bring to you, and it was you a few days ago For those left behind in Finx Village, since the lord cannot come in person, I can only bring you his blessing along the way."
As he spoke, he reached out and took out a cloth bag, bent down and offered it with both hands, in a respectful gesture.
Sally's eyes stayed on Rody's face all the time, and she was a little dazed. It was not until a few seconds later that she understood Rody's intention—slowly reached out to take the bag, and thanked him with the proper etiquette for "Rosie Cross" believers. Then he whispered: "Thank you, brave adventurer."
"Easy to do."
Rody turned his face sideways, his eyes moved aside emotionlessly, and he no longer looked at Sally.
From the perspective of the soldiers next to him, the adventurer's behavior was normal. In today's age, delivering letters and running errands seems to be the main functions of these idle adventurers, so his words did not arouse any doubts from the priest next to him. Because everything is reasonable and there is no doubt.
Rody didn't intend to continue the conversation. After Sally took the package, he bent down deeply. After saluting, he turned around and signaled the priest to find Bishop Benjamin. He didn't intend to pay any more attention to Sally.
In this way, the two passed by, and had a "meeting" in a way that Sally could never have imagined—sixteen days after the last meeting, Sally found that she couldn't even say extra words to each other , but can only watch the figure of the other party gradually go away...
Feeling unspeakably aggrieved and depressed, she clenched her fingers, and then remembered that she was holding the cloth bag that Luo Di had just given her. She flipped through it, and took out the soft armor shirt with gentle movements.
Dark blue tone, soft texture, Chimera beast scales have been processed to have a low-key and introverted reflection, and the hand-stitched marks on it are exquisite and neat. Although Sally didn't understand how much work it took to make such a leather armor, she suddenly had an inexplicable feeling - this shirt... must have been made by Roddy himself.
A piece of parchment fell from the cloth bag to the ground. Sally bent down to pick it up. Seeing the words on it, she slightly pursed her lips, and inexplicably, crystal tears welled up in her eyes.
"Don't even want to say goodbye. Bastard..."
.
"This is indeed the ring of Priest Nilda. Adventurer, where did you get it?"
Bishop Benjamin looked at the old silver ring in his hand, slowly raised his gaze, and asked Roddy in front of him.
"It's located in an alley in Cambay District. I was about to go to the mercenary guild. This ring was at the exit of the sewer." Rody's expression was still slightly indifferent, "Because I I saw the emblem on the ring in front of the door of the 'Holy Temple', so I rushed over immediately."
"Thank you, adventurer, but you have to understand that the 'Temple' will do whatever it takes to thoroughly investigate this matter." The old man put his hands behind his back slightly, his eyes narrowed, and it looked like Rody's eyes were flickering, "That is to say, if you have any other involvement in this matter, we will not let you go."
"I have considered these issues before coming here, my lord. I am just an adventurer who hopes to exchange these clues for some rewards. I have nothing to deceive you."
Roddy bowed his head, showing a submissive and respectful look, without any superfluous expressions.
"Of course, the 'Temple' will severely punish all evil forces, and will also favor those brave and upright young people, adventurers, thank you for your clues."
This was the way to see off the guests. Rody got up and left consciously. He didn't ask what reward the other party would offer, and turned around to follow the guards.
"My lord, thank you very much for your contribution to the monastery."
Not long after walking, another guard came over with a small wooden box and handed it to Roddy—he took it with both hands, and left the monastery without looking at what was inside.
Along the way, Rody didn't see Sally. To him, this also seemed to mean that Sally had already understood her situation and the current relationship between the two of them. Presumably, the other party had a brighter mind and would not do anything stupid.
I hope she can grow up as soon as possible before the "Temple" is divided.
Roddy sighed silently in his heart. He came here today because he finally inquired about Sally in the Rosary Cross Temple in the tavern—for ordinary people, this is not a place where they can come and go casually, but Roddy knows how to go there openly. enter here. That ring is the key.
"The Fall of Priest Nilda" is one of the famous long quest chains in Rody's memory. The beginning of the quest chain is the ring near the sewer. Of course, only Rody knows the location of this ring, and ordinary people have no way of finding out. Fortunately, this quest also existed two years before the server was launched, and Rody chose to use this quest chain to achieve the purpose of entering the monastery. Now he was lucky enough to meet Sally directly, which saved some things.
It's just that he didn't know until he disappeared on the street corner outside the monastery. Sally stood behind the window on the second floor of the monastery, silently watching his back, holding the soft armor shirt in her arms without saying a word.
